the nomination for governor, said
that he had been told by A. q.

YOUNG LEADER
OF THEOSOPHY
REACHES WEST
1RH dispatch A. 2. wirel

CHICAGO, Aug. 2S.-A quiet young
Hindu, Jiddu Krishnamurti, from whom
theosophy awaits the great teachers
message to a modern world, came to
Chicago today and met with all the
grace of the orient the worshipful well
come of his followers and the amazed
curiosity of md-America.
Besieged by throngs of Theosophists,
who deluged him with garlands of
flowers, and confronted by newspaper
men and women eager to put on paper
vine gifts, he had little opportunity for
mediation, even in the hotel top bunga-
low, where he sought refuge.
To those who asked, as others asked
on Galilee's shores 1000 years ago,
from whence hath this man these
things?" he spoke in parallels to ex-
plain his theosophical tenets and to in
terpret his position as the mouthpiece
of the God whom theosophy calls the
world teacher
Krisnamurti is about 80 years old
That age has been computed by the
horoscope, for the date of his birth is
not known and he may be a year or
two older A slight man, he has the
typical facial cast of the Hindu and the
same coffee-colored complexion, with q
thatch of thick black hair. The occi-
dental clothes he wears in England and
America are chosen with impeccable
taste for the sake of conformity to
avoid the appearance of eccentricity,
although he believes the loose robes
and sandals of India more comfortable.
Krishnamurti is accompanied by Mrs.
Annie Besant, whose ward he has been
since infancy, and who relates that
Christ told her that her charge would
be his physical vehicle" She leaves
him, however, to intervieWers, lest it
be said that he leans on her for guild
ance in revealing his faith.

a reception which opened the fortieth

WITHDRAWAL OF

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2S.-Withdraw
al of the senate's ratification Of the
world court will be proposed at the
coming session of congress by Senator
Trammen, democrat, Florida, one of
those who voted for the resolution Of
ratification.
The Florida senator said today he
had decided to make such proposal
because of developments in Europe,
where an international conference soon
is to convene under the auspices of the
league of nations to discuss the ac-
ceptability of the reservations by
which senate ratification of the court
protocol was qualified.
Recently Senator Gooding, republi-
can, Idaho, announced that although he
had supported the court, he now op-
posed it because of changed conditions
resulting from the French attitude to-
ward the war debts. Senator Tram
nell said he knew of several other
senators who likewise had come to
regret their support of the court ana
would vote for withdrawal but he
named none of them.
Neither did Senator TrammeH at
tempt to assess the full effect OF the

Of the "a convicts who es-
capped from the state re-
formatory here this morn
ing after overpowering 20
guards, were still at liberty
tonight. Four were recap
tured and tonight were back
lin the institution, in soli-
tary confinement and fac
ing the possibility Of three
years additional imprison-
ment for their short free
dom.
The break shortly after 1880 o'clock
this morning was one of the boldest
in the history of Michigan penal in
sttutions. For a time five men,
ringleaders in the escape were in
virtual possession of the prison.
That many of the other 14OO in
mates of the prison did not join the
"a who got out was due largely to
the courage of Ed. Haight, deputy
warden. Summoned from his home
by an outer guard, Haight ran to the
scene and, arrived as a large group
of inmates were coming through the
main entrance. Firing his rifle over
heads, Haight forced them back into
the prison No one was severely
wounded byt several were slightly
injured by flying glass and by the
milling of the crowd.
Contrary to earlier reports only

appear to have been armed. Where

convinced by the dispatch with which
the break was carried out that 1t

IDENTIFY by pre-arrangement, dis
turbance was created in one of the
two prison dormitories. Guards at
tracted by the commotion were over
powered and stripped of their uni
forms. Two of the five leaders,
donned uniforms and proceeded to the
prison yard where two more guards
were overpowered.
Working methodically, they round
ed up other guards about the prison
until 90 had been overpowered and
locked in cell. I With keys taken
from the guards, the cells Of other
prisoners were unlocked. The lead
ers then went to the office of Roy
Sypher, captain of the night guard.
where they demanded keys to the
outer gate.
Three of the men, Sypher said later.
We're in favor of killing him, but
one of them, Russell Andrus, SEN
fenced from Detroit, dissuaded them.
Lets don't kill him." Andrus said.
"the captain always has been pretty
square shooter with us"
Instead of using Sypher's keys,
the convicts forced him to order
guard to open the outer door of the
building. Through
this door the prisoners swarmed to
