SEEK MISSING MEN
WITHIN THE PRISON
Authorities Convinced Two
Convicts, Reported Escaped,
Are Hidden in Sing Sing.

BY the Associated Press
QSSINING, n. Y, March with
in the sentry guarded walls of Sing
Sing Prison a manhunt was in prog
ress last night to drag two conyicts
back to the cells from which they had
fed.
The ESCAPED convicts are Babe
Poll, serving 20 years for numbering
Knockout Bill Brennan, night club
owner and former opponent of Jack
Dempsey, and George Walmale, SEN
fenced to four years for carrying fire
arms.
Check.up Shows Them Missing.
They were missed at the 6 o'clock
check-up Wednesday night and al
though the surrounding country was
secured for them all that night and
the next day Warden Lawes was con-
vinced they could not have got out
side the walls. He recalled a previous
occurrence when a convict hid inside
the walls and was not found for three
weeks.
When disappearance of Walmale
and Pioli was discovered last night
the prison siren, which can be heard
for 10 miles, was Immediately sound
ed. Thus police in neighboring towns
were warned to be on the lookout, and
at the same time $50 armed guards
spread over the adjacent territory
from the prison in fast automobiles.
Other Precautions Taken.
Coincident With the search outside
the prison, yards and buildings We're
subjected to the closest scrutiny and
sentries on the walls were. put on a
12-hour shift instead of s. so that more
men might be available for the hunt.
When the search had been unavail-
ing Warden Lawes was convinced the
men still were hiding inside the walls.
Sentries were confident that the pris-
oners could not have gone through
tho gate or over the wall without be-
ing seen. 1t was consi ,red unlikely
that the convicts. desperate as they
were, could have taken. to the icy
waters of the adjoining Hudson with
any success.

CHICAGO PAVING WAY
TO BUILD OWN HOMES
First Effort Is Launched to House

By the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, March 4.-Chicago is
getting ready to dispossess its hous.
ing problem.
The city has launched it's first con
certed effort to adequately house the
white collar" man and his family, by
providing him his own home, on terms
he can meet, or by giving him reason
able rent in ideal apartments.
Thirty.three representatives of bust.
ness, industry and welfare, appointed
by Mayor Dever, are busy on the prob
lem. At the head Of the committee
is William Zelosky, an experienced
Chicago builder.
The first objective is for modifica-
ton of the law which impedes limited
dividend corporations entering the
housing field in Illinois. A law will
be drafted to present to the States
Legislature. If that obstacle Is hur-
died. the committee plans to form a
corporation to:
First, erect comfortable homes and
make it easier for the man with limit
ed income to own one by stretching
the financing period over 5 to 20
years time. 1t Is now to 10.
Second. to gradually buy property
in desirable residential districts, tear
down delapidated structures and erect
INTELLECTUALLY correct and attractive
apartments.
Zelosky believes such apartments
can be offered at a rental of $40 a
room.
Chicago's home owning percent
age Is one of the lowest in the coun
try. 1t is ~ per cent, just ahead Of
that of New York, which is IL per-
cent, but unlike New York, Chicago's
land area Is almost unrestricted.

my sincelest greetings on the, oc-

my confident hope that this new tele-
graphic communication, which has
been built jointly by American and
German companies, will always con.
tribute to promote and maintain the
good understanding between our
countries and economic interests"
This cable Is the first one between
Germany and the United States i'll
which American capital had an ip-
portant interest. The cable was laid
form New York to the Azores Islands
by the Western Union Telegraph and
Cable Co. There it met cable which
was laid from Emden by q German
company. The two were linked by
both companies, completing circuit
5000 miles long.
The fact that the line was completed
in such a short time was due, off,

Before the World War there were
two direct cable lines between Ger
many and the United States. When
hostilities were declared in 1914, how
ever. BRITISH warships cut these lines
beyond the three-mile limit. Great
Britain took one and France the other.
The British cable is still operating
from Canadian base and the French
have continued the use Of the other.
AS a result, Germany and the United
States wero obliged to transmit their
business via Great Britain or France
or by radio until the new cable was
completed.

CULTURE PROGRESS
IS TRACED IN FIRE
Expert Says Man Made One of
Greatest Strides When He
Learned to Use It.

Man made one Of his greatest
strides forward when he learned to
use fire, some time before the dawn of
history, according to a bulletin
issued from the National Museum by
DR.. Walter Hough, head curator of
anthropology.
In the history of fire, says DR..
Hough, can be traced the cultural
progress of man. The earliest known
human beings used fire in some fash
ion.
All primitive people seem to have
used the firestick first for making fire.
Wood was rubbed against wood by
various devices. The use of flint and
steel began in the iron age, and
method of ignition was known to the
Romans. but used largely for cere-
monial purposes.
The chimney was introduced into
Europe in the fourteenth century and
in the Western Hemisphere only after
the arrival OF Columbus. 1t is indie
alive Of the fact that the use of fire
has Influenced architecture as it has
all of the other arts of man.
The year 1927 marks the centenary
of the original Ii offer match, which
was first made by John Walker, Stock
ton upon Tees, England. These
matches became immensely poi ular,
but Walker refused to capitalize his
discovery financially. 1t was also Just
hundred years ago that gas for il.
Illuminating purposes was introduced
in New York City, although in 1892
an English manufacturer used it. In
1903 Sir Humphrey Davey first demon
strated the use of electricity for IL.
Elimination, but use was not general
until later. The incandescent lamp
was perfected In 1852 and the arc light
In 1878.

APRIL COAL STRIKE
HINGES ON FARLEY
Wage Agreement Held Nee
essary to Prevent Bituml-
nous WaIkOut.

Likelihood of a coal strike in the
bituminous fields of the United States
rests entirely on whether miners and
operators get together and reach
some agreement on wages at the close
of the so-called Jacksonville agree
ment before March 81. Unless they
do thrash out the wage matter In
Joint conference before March 81,
there Is every probability a walkout
OF miners will become effective April /.
Government observers in close touch
with the, situation believe that some
arrangement will be made before the
close of March by which continuation
of work i'm the central competitive
fields will be insured and the threat
ened strike averted. They say there
is a good deal of strike talk in the
air, at the same time declaring that
there will be no move made by the
Government to bring about a wage
conference.
Factions Far Apart. :
At present operators and miners are
split. The miners are holding out for
continuation of the Jacksonville
scale, arranged three years ago in
Florida. while the operators in the
. unionized bituminous fields claim they
cannot operate at a profit in compe-
tition with non-union fields under the
Jacksonville scale. So far they have
not reached a common meeting points
although proposals were rRade at the
fecent Joint scale conference in Miami
TO allow individual operators to sign
4 ZIP their miners on the Jacksonville
scale.
The miners wage committee is to
meet in a Jew days in the Middle West
10 consider the situation, but there has
been no evidence of a move on the
part of the operators to bring about
another joint conference. In the
meantime the Government is watch
ing the situation closely, prepared tc
act if called in by either side, but not
taking the initiative itself.
A strike on April /. according to
Bureau of Mines figures, would mean
little difficulty and tie-up of industry
unless it was long-drawn-out. Non
union production in West Virginia ant
the Southern non.union fields is esti
mated at 5000. 900 tons a week, against
a normal weekly consumption of ap
proXima tely 10000 900 tons.
Good Reserve Supply.
Coal stocks on April ] will approx
mate T0.0O0. 900 tons, reserve Wnlcn
together with non-union production
will protect industry from serious diff
ficulty for an estimated period Of three
months or more. In addition, the an
