WITH OFFICER

Ralph. Hunt, p, made 4 flying
dash for liberty this morning As he
was being taken to police headquar'
, ters by Sergeant Elmer Toney to
face charge of disturbing the

ing the prisoner in front Of city
! hall, Hunt leaped into the alley be
tween Main and State streets. Ton
ey grabbed his revolver from the
pocket of the ear and started in
pursuit but when he reached the
alley Hunt was nowhere to be seen.
Police later conducted 4 search of
the neighborhOod but no trace of
the fugitive could be found.
Hunt has given the police CON
siderable trouble of late. About
three weeks ago he was arrested ON
charge OF disturbing the peace but
managed to talk his way free of
conviction when given hearing be
fore Judge HerNey.
About a week ago Hunt was
again brought into court III eonner-
tion with an automobile accident in
which car he was driving had fig
ured. The matter was settled.
Last night Hunt is said To have
been prowlng about near the win
dow of bedroom in a private home.
When man in the house started
out after him. he hoped into an
automobile and speeded away, pass
ing the intersection at Main and
Sixth streets at speed OF 80 miles
an hour.
Patrolmen Jack Carter and
Charles Rosenqnest apprehended
him later and recommended that the
Judge give him something to think
about when he appeared Tor ar
Iaignmcnt this morning. H0t Hunt
was not arraignrd.
Ia view Of the fact that several
charges Will be brought against

IMPROVEMENT IS SEEN
IN SLUMP IN LUMBER
Demand Will Make Early Recov-
cry, Trade Journal Believes, in
Looking Ahead to Spring.

Reports received from lumber manu-
featuring and distributing centers OF
the country indicate that while trade
continued dull the first Of the month,
there were plentiful signs that the
demand would make an early recoV-
cry, according to the American Lum'
herman.
Retail distributors are expecting
good business, but as yet have seen
no necessity OF preparing for 1t in
advance OF the building season and
their stocks now are low. The saw
mills have no surplus, as shipments
of both, softwoods and hardwoods
during 1926 took up the fun produc-
ton, so that total national stocks
are less than they were at the be-
ginning of the year.
In the South, production Is heavily
Curtailed by rains and floods, as log
ling is next to impossible, and many
hardwood and softwood mill opera
lions have been forced to close down.
On the West Coast there appears to
have been more rapid gain In post
holiday output than was expected. Fir
output is less than before the holidays,
however, and as many open-market
loggers have shut down their camps,
with the result that logs of all grades
are becoming scarce, lumber output
will be restricted for the next month
or so.
Southern pine mills are getting a
fair amount of business from the
South and Southwest; there is not
much pine nor flr being taken by tho

CONSTRUCTION COSTS
DROPPED DURING 1926
Contractors Report Lowest Average
Since 1922 Prevailed
Last Year.

Construction costs declined slightly
during 1925. reaching the lowest
average occupied in any year since
1929. according to statistics compiled
by the Associated General Contractors
Of America and announced today.
The tendency toward lower cost
levels, in force since Midsummer of
1923. continued to make itself evident.
The year was conspicuous for slight
fiuctuation in the cost of construction,
virtually a single level being held
throughout the last five months of the
year Earlier, the cost figures had
consistently refused to approach the
higher levels of 1925.
The average of costs for 1926 was
slightly less than twice as great as
the 1913 average, holding the 1877
level on an index which takes the
pre-war years average as its basis.
The 1926 average was 1899, while the
1924 figure was 202.
The lowest mark reached during
1925 was noted in October, and the
highest level was assumed in May, the
respective index figures being 1876 and
1893. The December figure was 1876.
The decline in the average cost of
operations last year was largely the
result of decreases in the prices paid
by general contractors for basic
materials entering into their opera
