GIANT DIRIGBLE HEADS SOUTH
 FROM TACOMA
Shenandoah Sails Away After Hours Delay
 Caused By Fog

TACOMA. Wash, Oct. 19.-Free again from her moorings after spend- ing a night at Camp Lewis, the U. $. x. dirigible Shenandoah was headed soutlward for Sah Diego Sunday aft ernoOn.
 The giant air craft cast loose from the mast at :10 D. m., and flew over Puget Sound after having been delayed at the take-off because of fog.
 Re-fueled and supplied during the night. the airship was ready to leave at 9 a. m, but heavy gray blanket of fog hung over Camp Lewis and the sound. Lieut.. Com. Zachary Lansdowne set the> time for his departure an hour ahead. But when the hour was up the weather was still unfavOrable, and 1t was not until shortly after noon that the huge air cruiser was lOosened from her fastenings and sent away in the air. By that time the sun had burst through the fog and the Shenandoah sailed away into beautiful blue sky while thousands of persons cheered her on.
 Whirling away to the northward, the airship reached Seattle at the end of half an hour. She turned from above the hills out over the harbor.
 Setting her course around and about, that the thousands of spectators in the streets of Seattle might view the air ship, Lieut.. Com. z. Landsowne finally turned his charge across the sound to l the navy yard at Bremerton. She was still circling above the navy yard short ly before 2 p. m., according to late reports received here.

POLICE ENCIRCLE
 PRISON ESCAPES
Pennsylvania Warden Is Shot By Convicts; In
 Critical Condition
(By Associated Press.)

LANCASTER, Pa, Oct. 19.-Two prisoners who escaped from the Lan- caster county prison last night after shooting a guard, were surrounded to- night by a cordon of police, constables and detectives near the low grade line of the Pennsylvanian railroad in soutll- ern Lancaster county. The men are Clarke Herman and Edmond Cole.
 After escaping last night the fugitives held up the driver of an automobile and cOmmandeered the car. In a scuffle with the autoist, Cole dropped the pistol with which he was said to have shot James Messenkop, the 69-year-old guard. Police found the weapon.
 Near Meusedale, the posse surrounded the automobile to find that it had been a0andoned. A blue denim shirt belong ing to Cole had been discarded and cartridges fitting an automatic pistol were found on the seat. The convicts escaped up the side of a steep hill 0lt which officers this afternoon found a shoe worn by Herman, evidently thrown aside while the owner was attempting to remove pebbles and the chase be- came too hot.
 Messenkop continues in critical con dition in the Lancaster General hos pitaI with only fair chance for re- coyery. Herman was serving from six to 40 years for highway robbery. Cole was serving a two and one-half year term for the theft of an automobile.
