PRISON PROBE
4 INTO ESCAPE
PLOT IS MADE
lt'Yarden Believes That Other
Prisoners We're in Whole
sale Delivery Plan

Investigation was still being con-
Quoted in the state penitentiary to-
day in an effort to determine whe-
ther other convicts were linked with
Arthur Smith and Joseph Bell in an
attempted wholesale delivery from
the prison Sunday night, which was
baked by guards.
Warden John J. Lee said today
.lat the investigation was still un-
der way, but that he was not in a
position to accuse other convicts Of
being in the escape plot. He express
ed belief, however, that Smith and
Bell planned to deliver several other
fellow convicts from the prison.
Smith and Bell were placed in the
prison clark room" or dungeon as a
part of their punishment. They are
denied the right Of conversation and
are kept in well-ventilated, but
wholly dark, cell. How long they
will be kept there the warden would
not say.
The state pardon board was hold
ing a session at the prison today to

physicians found him suffering from
lead poisoning. They were unable to

1t all began when, after the special
cars had been stopped at Bismarck,
the destination. the railroad crew at
Mandan removed them to Mandan and
spotted" them in the yards over
there. Artistic temperament then
began to clash with railroad rules
at least that's the whispering among
the railroad men across the river.
For Geraldine didn't want to stay
in Mandan-t that is. she didn't want
to stay in the Mandsn railroad yards
where she feared the noise would
disturb her sleep. She was empha-
tic. All the force of the dangerous
looks she used in the production OF
Carmen" were pre-viewed for the
benefit of the railroad men. She won,
of course. Her cars were sent over
TO Bismarck. Victory number one
for Miss Farrar.
The railroad men, after the usual
fashion, sent over switch engine,
to be hooked on to the Pullman cars
and send steam through the pipes.
1t was done at intervals, but it
wouldn't do. Miss Fa, rar wasn't going
to have any switch engine for fur
mace, supplying irregular heat.
According to the railroad gossip,
she made the wires hot for time
between Mandan, Bismarck, st. Paul
and elsewhere--even carrying her de-
mand for heat to some Of the in
fluential Northern Pacific stockho old
ers in New York.
Again the railroad men were de-
feated. An engine was hooked on to
stay on, and the conductor and two
brakemen strolled into one Of the
baggage cars on the Farrar special to
keep warm. They were warmed more
by some messages than. by the heat
they absorbed. They were informed
that they could supply their own
resting place-the railroad had lot
of cars.
So, in the end, so the railroad men
say, an engine and passenger coach
were hooked on to the Farrar Pull
mans in the Bismarck yards, the en-
CINE to keep steam flowing in and
the passenger car to provide accomo-
dations for the railroad men. And a
train crew of five men was sent every
eight hours to keep the engine going.
Comfort was what Miss Farrar
wanted. She also wanted service.
And-being Geraldine Farrar--she
got 'em both.

DULUTH SEES
FORD STARTING
BIG OPERATION
Is Purchasing Bonds Of Su-
perior Coal and Dock
Company in that City
DEVELOPMENT
PLANS
Handling of Ford Cars and
Steel Products Are Seen
in the Plans

Duluth, Dec. 2.-Henry Ford has
purchased nearly all of the out
standing mortgage bonds on the Su-
perior Coal and Dock Company's pro-
perty on the bay front, it was an
nounced in the Duluth Herald today
and his permanent location in Du-
luth is thought virtually assured.
The Ford Motor Company is now
operating the coal dock on a lease
obtained last spring. Word of the
purchase of the bonds, many of
which were held by prominent Du-
luthians, has just been received here
from Ford's attorneys in Detroit. The
total outstanding bonds amount to
$58O,O00. all of which have been
bought with the exception of few.
1t is believed that the Ford Com
pany will foreclose on the mortgage
through its control Of the outstand-
ing bonds, in an effort to gain con-
troll of the property. The Brown
Hoist Company Of Cleveland, which
built the bridge and the dock, has
filed a lien of $l30,OOO against the
property and this claim will proba-
bly, come up during the foreclosure.
1t is expected that some amicable
settlement will be made as the Ford
company is reported anxious to gain
clear title as early as possible.
Extensive improvements will be
made to the dock as soon as the Ford
company takes over the property, w.
b. Mayo, chief engineer, announced
recently, when he said that negotia-
tions were under way at that time to
purchase the holdings of the Super
ior Coal and Dock Company. These
improvements include transfer for
steel products, Ford cars and parts
and increased facilities for handling
ana storing coal, he said. 49,

Army And Navy
The cut Of 100000 in the Navy's
