Carlstrom attempted to appear Mon
day, when Senator Nye, with a state

again asked to be heard, but was re-

Mrs George Dean, president of the
Illinois Republican Women's Club, said
she returned a check for 5000 sent to
the club by Col. Mccormick, since it
does not and never has sponsored an
individual candidate. She said the
club had, on occasion, received dona-
tions from Mrs. Mccormick, but that
she believed these were all made long
before the primary campaign.

The committee expected to con-

PEN BREAK LEADER
URGED SUICIDE AS

Whittemore Tried to Kill Self
When Trapped, Baltimore

BY the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, September 17.-Cor-

police after an unsuccessful attempt to
escape from the Maryland State Peni-
Tertiary, Rawlings v. Whittemore. serv-
ing 20 years for robbery, tried to get
the others TO kill themselves.
Failing, he turned the pistol on him
self, but the cartridge failed to explode.
Guard Expected TO Live.
The drama OF the desperate attempt
late yesterday of nine convicts to fee
over the high walls of the prison, in
downtown Baltimore, was revealed to-
day with the excitement stilled and an
investigation under way.
The one casualty, a guard, Arthur
owen, 81, was in a hospital with a
wound in his side, but the opinion was
expressed that he would recover. An
investigation by prison and State
agencies was under way and officials
said they planned to get the prisoners
to re-enact the attempt.
Warden Patrick Brady said today he
learned that Whitttemore, brother of
a man hanged in the prison several
years ago for murder in a similar escape
attempt, said to the three others: Let's
bump each other of. They'll give US
the rope, anyhow"
Others Refused Idea.
The others refused to consider suicide
and Whittemore announced he would
shoot any one who tried TO enter or
leave the laundry, where they were
barricaded. His fellow convicts pointed
out that Owen, disarmed and shot at
the start of the escape attempt, might
not be dead, and after an hour White
more and his three allies surrendered.
Five others had given up earlier.
The fact that only 8 Of the more
than 1000 prisoners were implicated
in the attempt and that the rope ladder
failed to function prevented, officials
said today, the likelihood of general
disturbance.
Prison Termed Worst in East.

the National Society of Penal Informa-
ton last December, was called the

FAIL TO BRING FORWARD A
SINGLE PROPOSAL OF CON-
STRUCTION IN LONG SEES
SION OF CONGRESS

WASHINGTON, D. C. Especial
to the News) fifteen long
months of Illuminating on Capitol
Hill, the Democrats go forth to the
country in the coming Senatorial
and Congressional elections with
out having sponsored a single con-
structive proposal.
AS usual their program during
the long special and regular SEES
sions of Congress has been only
of obstruction and destruction.
This is natural since they found
the field of constructive thought
and action thoroughly covered by
the Republican program which
they sought so assiduously but
vainly to obstruct.
The major part of their energy
has been directed to misrepres-
entation of the situation respecting
the tariff bill which recently was
enacted. Their sole purpose was
to delay this measure so that the
full beneficial effect of it could not
be felt in advance of the Novem-
Der elections. This is an old dodge
of the Democrats which should not
fool the people.
While they were denouncing the
bill in the same terms that they
have denounced all other Repub-
lican protection tariffs-as "the
worst ever"-as destructive of
American foreign commerce, etc.
they were seeking most successfully
to write into the measure high
rates protective of industries in
their own states or sections.
Much of the new law is of Dem
ocratic writing, and the rates
which the minority put forward
were strictly protective rates and
in no sense those for revenue only

the Democratic theory of tariff.
Naturally these rates were accept
able to Republican protectionists.
Two proposals which the Dem
ocrats embraced during the SEES.
sions of the list Congress were
rejected as contrary to- the best
interests of the country. Foremost
among these was the uneconomic
export debenture proposal as a
subsidy to agriculture. The Pres
ident and fiscal experts of the gov
eminent thoroughly exploded this
theory as one Which would destroy
rather than aid the agricultural
industry.
The second proposal was that
on the flexible tariff under which
the President may raise or lower
impost duties within a radius OF
so per cent of the rates fixed in d
measure enacted by Congress
They proposed to take this power
away from the President and i'm
pose it in Congress.
By this very act, they sought tc
freeze" upon the American peo-
pie the very measure which they
SO violently denounced as imposing
an impossible burden upon con
sumers as we'll as foreign com
merce.
This is highly illustrative of the
consistency of the Democrats anc

be expected should they obtain
