Prisoners Escape
Occoquan, Foiling
Plans for Release
Flee in Guards Auto With
Four Others as Rela.
tives Raise Fine.

One perfectly good Christmas present
is going begging today as a conse-
quence of the unexpected conduct OF
Archie Mcfarland, who climbed out OF
his dormitory window at Occoquan
! Workhouse and escaped in a guards
automobile last night just in time tc
block plans of his relatives, who had
raised enough money to pay his fine
in order that he might enjoy his free
dom Christmas morning.
When police searching for McFar-
land called at his home in hope of
finding him there this morning mem
bers of the family expressed surprise
and considerable chagrin when told that
Archie had made his own way out OF
the workhouse. They explained that
they had raised the money to pay his
fine and were planning to secure his
release today as Christmas present.
Longer Sentence Possible.
Mcfarland, who was sentenced to the
workhouse for SIS days for assault, in-
toxication and disorderly conduct, will
have to serve all of that and perhaps a
little more when caught, police init
mated.
Mcfarland, with four other prisoners
climbed out of domitory window
about 2 o'clock this morning and took
the automobile of Guard Roy Mar
shall. in which they made their get
away.
The authorities explained that mas
much as all five men were TRUSTEES and
consequently cannot be subjected to
additional penalty for breaking out they
will be charged with the theft of the
guards automobile.
Get Start on Pursuers.
When last seen they were heading
toward this city and had more than IS
minutes start on their purSuers. Every
available guard at the workhouse was
detailed to the searching party and de-
Scriptions of the prisoners were for
warded to authorities in the surround
ing counties of Maryland and Virginia
and the local police. Since the escape
was made in an automobile the blood
hounds were not used.
None of the men is said to be of the
ueSpeIdIe type anu SdpC. Julian A.
Schoes, assistant superintendent of the
institution, predicted this morning that
their capture was only a matter of
hours.
Windows Not Barred.
The windows in the building from
which the men escaped are not barred
and are within easy reach from the
floor. Their flight was discovered few
minutes after they are thought to have
driven away in Marshall's car. A guard
making his regular rounds noticed their
empty cots and reported to Capt. Schoes
that the prisoners had escaped. A pre-
liminary search of the grounds dis
closed the absence of the automobile
The prisoners are Everett H. Stedford
80 years old, serving a three-year term
for three petit larcenies;t Clifford
Barnes, % years old, serving one year
for grand larceny; Herbert Carter, 25

LONDON, December 20.-West and
Central London '-'~~N given a startling
reminder OF v-~".-.-...e air raids today
when exploding gas mains caused a
miniature earthquake that heaved up
long stretches of streets and caved in
shop fronts.
The explosions started when a works
man entered manhole with an electric
blower used TO remove foul air from
passages leading into a large inspection
chamber below the roadway outside of
the post office depot in Broad street.
This first explosion was followed by
series of shocks along the street fling
ing curbstones into the air, knocking
down pedestrians and shattering shop
windows. One manhole lid was hurled
high into the air and crashed onto
motor bus. Cracks appeared in the
road, wooden blocks were heaped up
and the streets along which the explo-
sions took place looked like Jagged
trench.
One of the most remarkable escapes
