BOBBED HAIRED GIRLS ESCAPE JAIL AFTER
IS HOURS Confinement I; HAVE LONG RECORDS

The granite walls and iron barred
. windows Of the Kennebec county jail
kept two attractive bobbed haired
young ladies confined only about
thirty-six hours, and they took
French leave" from that institution
at about ten minutes before o'clock
Saturday night, and a thorough
combing of the surrounding country
side by officers from the Sherifrs de-
partnent. the Augusta police, and
patrolmen of the State Highway Po-
lice. all of Saturday night and yes
terday failed to reveal their place of
hiding.
The two girls, Eleanor Stone, for
merry of Freeport and Leah Paradis
of Waterville, had . record az incor-
rigibles, and were sent to the county
jail here Friday, after the officials at
the Womef's Reformatory at Show
hogan had decided that they were too
difficult to handle for the facilities at
that institution. Both of the girls
were first committed to the State
School for Girls at Hallowen and
after several breaks for liberty from
the school were sent up to Skowhe-
gan. They had both escaped from
the Somerset county house Of correc-
tion previously, and It was deemed
proper by the officials to return them
to the county Jail Of the county from
which they were committed.
The girls were enjoying the hour Of
liberty after supper in the jail library
just before 8 o'clock Saturday even
ing, and when Turnkey Willis Pink
ham was called out for q momen.
they made good their getaway. 1t
is believed possible by the Sheriff
department, that they might have had
outside assistance and that after
leaving the confines of the jail build
ing they were spirited away from the
city in an automobile which was
waiting for them on one of the side
streets in the vicinity Of the county
buildings.
Both Of the girls are described as
pretty and both were Of splendid sp-
pearance and would pass for girls
several years older than they actu-
ally are. They are both about II
years Of age. The Stone girl is Of
medium complexion with full face
and figure and weighs about $50
pounds. Her hair is bobbed very
close. She was wearing when she
slipped out of the Kennebec Jail, a
white shirtwaist or blouse, short
plaid skirt, white stockings and
white single strap pumps.
The Paradis girl is very dark with
black hair and dark eyes and is very
attractive. She was wearing a one
piece dress of dark material, black
stockings and patent leather pumps.
When their departure was discov-
cred the authorities in the surround
ing towns and principal cities were
notified and the drag-net was spread
for the fleeing pair. but the combined
vigilance Of State, county and local
police bore fruitless results. Sheriff
Cummings office is quite anxious to
be notified of their arrest and deten-
tion.

GRAIN PRICES HOLD
MONEY STILL EASY
DURING PAST WEEK

New York, July 27.-(By A. Pr
Continued strength in grain prices,
persistence of ease in money and
progress of the London conference
shared attention in business and fl
nancial circles last week.
While fluctuations in wheat and
corn widened with increased spec
ulatiVe activity, values were well
maintained. New high prices were
achieved during the week. A bullish
crop estimate from Alberta and re-
ports of black rust in Manitoba were
sustaining factors; foreign markets
were strong.
Cotton jumped sharply on an I'M
expectedly bullish government crop
report. The latter set the condition
on July is at 6S.5 percent as against
expectations of about ~ percent.
The indicated crop was placed at H.
934 900 bales, against trade expecta-
lions of 12.500,000 bales.
The rise in cotton, which amount
ed to nearly two cents a pound, was
not considered. however. a favorable
development for the textile indus
try, already embarrassed by the high
cost of raw material. 1t was re-
called that the recent census bureau
figures on consumption during June
showed that curtailment had
brought operations in the mills
down close to the low point reached
in the depression of 1921. Money
rates show practically no change.
with the call rate of the New York
stock exchange remaining at per-
cent day after day. There was no
appreciate change in the tone of
the market. The federal reserve
bank statement showed that dis
counts still were falling off and that
open market purchases of short term
government paper was not sufficient
to keep up the level of earning as
sets. Meanwhile. reserves, chiefly of
gold, continued to mount.

Is Dail's Record

Dublin, July 10 "a. p. by maiD-
st. Patrick's Day in the Free State
is not to be dry. The Dali. despite
the urgent appeals of Vice-President
O'Higgins, has decided by vote Of
SO to 80 that it shall. like all other
week days. except Christmas Day
and Good Friday. be 13-hour drink
ing day.
The compromise proposal to treat
the day as a Sunday. when drink
may be sold for a few fixed hours,
did not find support. AS Mr.. O'Hig-
gins put it There were three ways
of honoring st. Patrick, one by get
ting drunk, one by keeping sober,
and a third by getting half drunk"
and he left the decision between
them to the free vote of the Dali.
