JAIL DELIVERY FRUSTRATED
Sheriff Logan and Deputies Upset
Plans OF Prisoners


The plans of number OF prison
ers to escape from Elkton jail were
upset early Thursday morning OF lasl
week, by sheriff Logan and deputies
short and Burkins.
The principals in the affair were
VIM. Howery, of North East, servinE
a six months sentence for driving az
automobile while under the 3Rfiu'
ence of liquor; John Willis, OF deal
Fair Hill, who was committed "
Jail in default of fine OF 1895 I'M
posed for driving car while undel
the influence of liquor; Paul Sim
mons, aged 16 years, one OF the boys
who was arrestesd last month
charged with stealing $65 from the
Office of the American Railways Ex-
press at Elkton.
Plans had been in progress fol
the prisoners to escape for several
days, and in some manner Sherin
Logan learned about what was tran.
spring. He allowed them to 60
ahead with their plans, but kept 9
constant watch.
The prisoners tore up 14-fooi
plank from the floor of the corridor
and placed it from the cell window
on the second tier, to the 30-fool
stone wall which surrounds the jail
yard. They sawed the iron bars
across the cell window with a hack
saw, and used the blankets, stolen
from other cells for rope with
which to lower themselves from the
top of the stone wall to the ground
Howery was the first man to und.
ertake to escape. He climbed out
the window and crawled across the
plank to the Jail wall and was about
to come down to the ground, wher
the officers pulled their guns ON him
He was ordered to come down to the
ground the way he had intended
His two pals did not undertake te
follow him.
The work of saving the bars was
done while trains were passing tht
Jail, the railroad tracks being less
than a hundred feet away from tht
prison. They also used mouth or
gan to help deaden the sound. Some
time ago, Howery gave Sherih Lo
gan some money to keep for him
I and Thursday, he asked to have it

IN STOCK
PRICES CONTINUES
Market Makes Further Re-
covery Despite Appearance
of Profit Taking.
BY STANLEY w. PRENOSIL,
Associated Press Financial Editor

NEW YORK, June 18.-Stock prices
made further recovery in today's market,
although there was an increasing tend
ency to take profits on the rallies be-
fore the fhidyear credit stringency
began to make itself felt. Operators for
the advance succeeded in bringing for
ward new leaders whenever the general
list showed signs of weakening, but pub
lie participation was still on a rela-
lively small scale.
Credit Situation.
Call money renewed unchanged at Z
per cent, with indications in the early
afternoon that the rate would be MAIN
tanned all day. Return of the June Is
checks for payment at the banks has
been offset to some extent by the heavy
accumulation of funds here by large
corporations in preparation for midyear
payments, and by the temporary en-
ployment in the call market of funds
received in connection with stock SUBJ

The Federal Reserve Board condition
statement, showing decrease in mem
