FIVE CONNECTS ELUDE
 ALABAMA SEARCHERS
Men Repair Car and Dis appear-Tip Comes
 Too Late

Montgomery, Ala, Aug. Pl-- five convicts who escaped early yes terday afternoon from Speigner prison, near here, continued to elude officers early today. They are now supposed to be in the vicinity of Birmingham. since their machine, stolen from a guard who was over powered was seen about six miles from Clanton on the Birmingham highway last night.
 Clanton officers were notified that the auto had broken down and first reports were that the convicts had abandoned the car and taken to the woods. However, before the Clan ton officers reached the scene, the convicts had repaired the trouble and disappeared.
 It is believed by Speigner authori- ties that the convicts chose a seldom used road to reach Birmingham.
 The five men escaped after over powering J. P. Richardson, prison guard, and taking his gun and keys. Richardson was unhurt.
 An investigation was made Friday night of an unlocked door in the cotton mill building through which the prisoners escaped to a guards car. It was reported that the door. which had always been kept bolted, was not locked. Carelessness was blamed
 The five fugitives are Frank AL len L. A. Harper, w. A. Smith, Will liam Miller and w. D. Cobb, alias w. D. Cole. Harper was serving a 50 year term for robbery.

 Says-Stains on Defendants Auto
 Prove to Ec Blood.
 Columbus, Ohio, Aug. 3.-tP)-C. r. Long, Columbus City chemist. held the pivot position today in the murder trial of Dr. James H. Shook for the killing of Theora Hix as the state moved from the establish ment of the crime to the definite effort to fasten 1t on the 49-year-old former Ohio state professor
 Examined Girls Stomach
 Long holds the story upon which the state rests much of it's case. He made the examination of Miss HiX stomach which the state maintains contained an emotional excitant giv- en her on the night of the killing by her professor-lover. He also analysed the stains on Dr. Shocks automo- bile. on the hammer and knife with which the defendant has admitted he killed her and the suit that Dr. Shook had cleaned the day after the staying.
 Long has already made known that the stains on the seat and door iambs of Dr. Snook's car and on the knife and hammer were human blood. Interest in his testimony to- day centered largely in his analysis of the girls stomach.
 DOctored Sandwiches
 Prosecutor John J. hester, Jr.. in his opening statement, said that the state would show that on the night of the killing Dr. Shook bought sandwiches. put in them a concoc- ton intended to excite the girls emotions and that she ate them as they drove to a rifle range on the edge of the city where her body was found.
 There the state contends Shook killed her when she repulsed his ad- vances. Longs testimony today was intended to bear out this promise of the opening statement.

 Accomplish Plan
EVERYONE AGREES THAT
 PROJECT IS SOUND ONE
Expert Tells Institute of Politics Re- ports On International Conferent es Make Very Discouraging Reading Urges Study of Moral and Ma terial Welfare of Mankind Back Of Proposal.

ITOpOSal.
 Williamstown, Mass, Aug. 3 lPN The greatest problem in the limita- ion of armament lies in the query how to disarm ?" Rear Admiral C. L. Hussey, U. S. N., retired, said to- iay in discussing arms limitation be- lore the Institute of Politics.
 Everyone believe in limitation Of armament" he said. "The question is how to do it.
 "The navy would welcome limita- ton of armament provided national security is not endangered. It is that sort of limitation that Britain and France are seeking: the only sort that any wise people will sane ton.
 Reports Discouraging
 "The official reports of armament conferences are discouraging read ing. While it may be presumptlous to criticize the methods used in these conferences, it is evident that under the auspices of the League or outside the League these last ten years of intense activity in the inter- est of the limitation of ornaments mas not borne fruit.
 "I believe the solution to the problem lies in going back of ar maments to a study of the material and moral welfare of mankind, to the changing world; the chances wrought by science; and the evolu- ton of civilization. There we will get a better line on the inherent character of concepts of human re- lations. There we may find tho answer to our question "how to dis arm" in considering another ques- ton, Why arm?'
 Selfishness Cited
 Lack Of consideration for the rest of the world is the outstanding char acteristic of al! nations in delibera- tions for the settlement of interna- tional problems, Admiral HusseY said. In the league and out, he said, self interest is the dominating note of discussions and has ham, pered their progress.
