CIRCUS CROOK Is
SEEN SATURDAY
Frank Davis Who Sawed
Way Out Of Jail, Seen On
the North Side.
Is NOT CAUGHT YET

For at least one dav, Frank Davis
alias Mickey" who sawed his way out
of the county Jail Friday night, spent
his time lowering around the city OF
Kenosha. Perhaps he was looking foI
the right kind of car which might be
picked up for transportation" For
surely Mickey" Davis, with all his
front of affable nonchalance, would
not like to be seen by any member
either of the Kenosha police depart
ment or of the sheriff's force.
Seen Saturday Night.
On Saturday night Sheriff Willenls
was informed by his daughter that she
had seen Davis on Orange street. She
Immediately called up her father and
men were despatched to cover the
north side, but Mickey" had again
disappeared.
The man was held in the county jail
awaiting trial on the charge Of OBJ
tanning money under false pretenses
He is wanted in a number of other
states on charges varying from forgery
and he apparently did not like his fu-
ture that was mapped out for him
For if released by jury at the trial
he would have been turned over to the
police authorities of other cities.
Prisoners Are Silent.
Those in the county jail who shared
the bull-pen quarters with Davis, con-
tinued to be silent today respecting
Davis activities in the last two weeks
Davis must have been busy for some
time saving the bars al the window
and some one of the prisoners must
have been aware of his unusual occu-
patton. Also, some one must have
slipped him the saws with which he
accomplished the task. In spite of an
investigation, the sheriff has been un-
able to find who Davis aides were.
There were six others with Davis
in the Jail, but though he sawed thru
the bars and escaped, meme of the
others followed his example. All OF
the six were content to stay and take
their medicine" but then none Of
them had the excellent reasons" that
Davis had for wishing to evade the
arm of the law.

ing of Negro Will Not

Excelsior Springs, Mo. =
Officials of Clay county have indicated
that no investigation will be made OF
the lynching here yesterday of Wal
ter Mitchell, negro, who was taken
from jail by mob and hanged to a
tree.
The negro had been placed in jail
following his Identification by young
woman as her assailant late Thursday
night while she and Leonard UT, 10,
were returning in motor car to the
girls home after a party.
There will be no inquest" said H.
w. Hill, coroner, as he signed the
death certificate which gave the cause
of death as "strangulation."
"We feel that Justice has been
done," Ray Cummings, county prose
cutor, said. "Of course, the method
was crude / would have preferred
that the negro could have been hang
ed legally and / am convinced that 1t
would have been done" With regard
to an investigation to determine the
mob leaders Mr.. Cummins said:
Admitted His Guilt, Report.
"Don't know who they were and !
am unable to find out"
AS they were preparing to hang
Mitchell, mcb leaders asked him if he
had anythir to say.
Eyes, I'm guilty" ne replied, accord
ing to members of the mob, 'but give
me chance"
The rope was thrown over the limb
of tree and willing hands soon lift
ed the negro high in the air.
Fifty Kansas City policemen rushed
to the place armed with riot guns, ar
irving fifteen minutes too late.
The lynching caused an exodus Of
negroes from Excelsior Springs. Last
night il was reported many of the
approximately 100 negroes who had
lived in and near the town, voluntar-
lily had gone TO Kansas City, believing
they would be safe there. Authorities
here, however, say no trouble is ex-
pected between the whites and ne

KenOsha Coal Dealers Well
Supplied With Anthra-
cite Coal Now.
URGING BUYING NOW
Present Supply Would Be
Taken Up Before Winter
If Strike Is Declared.

Any threats of an impending coal
strike that may result in failure OF
present negotiations to reach a com
promise between the opposing fac
tions in the coal crisis would not eff
feet the city of Kenosha materially
it was learned today following a sur
vey of local conditions among Goa
dealers in Kenosha. The city is well
prepared for a coal strike with its
present supply of anthracite on hand
and could take care of the commune
TVS needs for period of three months
at least, according to dealers here
But no one could be found who would
venture a prediction of what would
follow the exhaustion of the present
supply should a general suspension OF
mining activities come at this time.
The survey in Kenosha shows thai
there is approximately 800 tons OF
anthracite coal available for consump'
ton In coal bins in yards here. 1t is
estimated also that not half the homes
in Kenosha have taken any precau-
tions towards laying in supply Of
coal for the winter while the stocks
here are plentiful, and it was said
that if any suffering or Inconvenience
would come to Kenosha through pro-
tracted strike, it would be these peo-
pie who>would suffer.
Factories Are Independent.
Industries in Kenosha would not be
effected considerably by any strike
since most of them now use bitumin'
Gus coal and their coal needs are TAX.
en- care of we'll in advance. The pub
lie schools have already contracted
for their coal for the winter and theil
bins will soon be filled.
Up to the present time the price OF
coal has not been effected by any
movements in the fields. Most of the
coal coming to Kenosha comes from
the east and so far that section of the
coal producing country has been i'm
mune to the controversy that is rag
ing between operators and miners.
One of the Kenosha dealers express
ed the opinion that suspension was
very likely following failure of the
principals to come to an agreement
But, he said, if there should be {
break in production activities this
could not possibly extend beyond 8
period of thirty days. Present sup
plies in the nation, he added, woulc
probably fill all the needs until after
the dead of winter but If production
is halted before that time, the res
of the season would find itself with
out coal.
There was only one thought in the
minds of every dealer-and that was
the warning to buy coal now anc
avoid any worry later.

Prepare for Emergency.

Atlantic City, N. j. 80 = Au-
thority to call out the miners in the
hard coal fields September was vot-
ed by the union scale committee to it's
negotiators last night in token of
doubt that a shutdown could be avert
ed. In vesting its spokesman with
the plenary authority days in advance
of similar action in other years, the
committee said it was mainly consid-
ering it's own convenience.
Before adjournment the committee
forty strong, also empowered the sub
committee to arrange with the own
ers, if the latter desired to leave a
skeleton force of maintenance men in
the pits in event of walkcut. They
would man pumps and attend to nee
essary timbering to avoid flooding and
cave-ins.
The sub committee was also given
authority to handle any further emer-
gency according to its best judgment
and its action Tuesday in breaking of
negotiations with the mine owners
was ratified unanimously.
