Throngs at Opening of Schools;
 Many Transfers Found Necessary
Supt. Holmes Says Depart ment Is at Loss to Find Proper Accommodations for All.

So crowded are the public schools that when questioned today as to the approximate number of pupils reg istered or the regulations under which they are to be handled. Supt. Stanley H. Holmes frankly admitted that the department was at loss to determine just how it would meet the situation.
 Public schools opened for the fall term this morning and after the names of pupils were recorded and an effort was made to place as many children as possible in the schools the pupils were dismissed and today it Is uncertain whether many of the pupils who were sent to certain school buildings will be kept there. There are hundreds being trans ferred.
 Attempts to get an estimate of en- rollment did not meet with success. MT. Holmes being of the opinion that the children will not be settled un- til Wednesday.
 With the opening of the public schools and the opening also of St. Matthews parochial school all the schools in the city are now in ses- sion for the year. The three other parochial schoolA St. Mary's. St. Joseph's and the Sacred Heart opened last week as did tho New Britain State Normal school.

SHADE URGES PUPILS
 NOT TO BLOCK WALKS
H. s. Principal Calls At- tention to Rights of
 Public

Senior High school pupils were warned today to yield one-half of the sidewalk to pedestrians passing them in the opposite direction. Principal Louis P. Slade stated that the personal safety of the pupils. the reputation of the school for courtesy and the convenience ard rights of others suggest that regu- lations should be made.
 The regulations are as follows:
 Students frequently use the streets in groups. They should therefore be particularly careful all ways to yield a good one-half of the sidewalk to pedestrians passing them while going in the opposite direction.
 Before and after school, students should avoid standing on the side- walks in groups. When waiting is necessary the students should stand on the school property.
 The location of the school rooms requires so much passing on the sidewalks and crossing of the streets that the greatest care should be used to avoid accidents from auto- mobiles. All crossing should be within the lanes. the boundaries of which are painted"

 The men had received outside aid. for Owens and several otheru had pistols with which to overpower the guards. The break had been plan- ned to follow baseball game yes- terday afternoon.
 5. J. Beck is believed to have pre- cipitated the break with the word: I'm going" Owens saw he had to act and he pushed his automatic toward the backs of two guards.
 Instantly the other convicts swung into action. There was 8 concerted rush for the penitentiary arsenal. There the men obtained shotguns kept for the guards and then the dash for freedom began and with it tn. fusillade of fire.
 Race F0e River
 The fifteen men raced for the broad Mississippi river . short dis tance away. hoping to seize . boat and escape in the darkness.
