2 FLEE JAIL AT EASTON, MD.
Remove Bricks in Corridor Wall
and Make Their Escape

Two prisoners awaiting trial fol
highway robbery at Easton, Md.
escaped from the. Talbot county
Jail Sunday night. They are Will
liam Gambrill, thirty, of Baltimore
who was a paroled prisoner from
the Eastern Penitentiary, Philadel-
phia, at the time of his arrest
three weeks ago, and Frank Camp
bell, colored, of Talbot county. On
two occasions Gambrill had been
detected picking the lock of his
cell on the second tier, and last
Thursday after he had been placed
in Campbell's cell both men were
found picking the mortar from the
wall. At that time the prison
guards used tear gas before they
were able to subdue Campbell and
Gambrill to have them placed in
separate cells. Sunday both men
had been given the liberty of the
corridor with other prisoners and
made their way to the rear of the
corridor on the first floor where
they climbed to a window and
quickly picked out the mortar and
then a dozen bricks above the win
dow. AS soon as the opening was
large enough they crawled through
and slid down an improvised rope
Of bedclothes to the prison yard.
One end of the bedclothes rope was
found tied to a radiator below the
window. Then the men managed
to scale the fifteen-foot wall sur
rounding the Jail yard and escape.
Gambrill was to be tried next
month for holding up William
Mitchell, Of Ridgely, Md, and
Clement Bray, Of Easton, Md, in
their automobiles near Easton on
the same night about three weeks
ago. Campbell is accused Of hav-
ing held up Harold Davis, an Eas-
ton merchant, several months ago,
when the latter parked his auto
mobile in front Of his home. Since
their escape they are suspicioned
as having robbed the White Hall
Bank, suburb of Baltimore, Md,
Of $4,000 early yesterday.

Not only in Delaware but in
many other parts Of the coun-
try the farmers have been
caustically complaining about
the milk situation. "And they
appear to be right nine times
of Of ten" says The Morning
News. '"There is wide mar
gin between what the pur-
chaser of milk in the cities
pays and what the farmer re
ceives. 1t should not be so
large. AS showing the agita-
tion, about one hundred farm
ers met in Middletown in the
heart Of New Castle County
to consider the situation. All
three Delaware counties and
several Of the Eastern Shore
were represented. The estab-
lishment of more creameries
was discussed, and other mat
tiers were considered, includ-
ing the various regulations of
the Interstate Dairy Council
and others.
''This is important in every
angle. 1t was contended that
numerous farmers with dairy
herds had complied with all
the regulations prescribed by
the State Board of Health,
but some dealers notified the
farmers that they would not
buy milk except from dairies
where the floor and much 9TH
er work are of concrete.
'It was held that the change
demanded would require a
heavy expenditure by the
farmers, more than they
they could reasonably pay in
view Of the depressed situa-
tion in agriculture. The re-
ceipts from many crops have
been trifiing. Although the
changes would put the farm
ers to additional expense it is
not recorded that the dealers
offered to pay more for the
milk if the improvements
were made. The people want
of course, milk under sanitary

Great Falls Soul ptress will Make
Russell Statue For Hall of FANNIE
(By JOHN X.

"Ug, that's Charlie" an old
wrinkIed Indian exclaimed the other
day as he pointed to one particular
model among the several which
were submitted by noted sculptors
in the United States for the large
statue of Charles M. Russell, noted
Montana cowboy artist, which will
be made by Mrs. Jessie S. Lincoln,
of Great Falls, for the Hall of Fame,
at Washington, D. c.
The other day as Governor Erick-
son was sitting in the lobby of a Great
Falls hotel, he noticed an old Indian
standing on the street and recognized
him as one of Russell's old range
friends, SO the executive requested sid"
Willis, proprietor of the Mint, which
has the largest private collection of
Russell's original paintings in the
world, to invite the Indian in for him
to make his choice of the models which
were then before the Montana memoir
lal commission to select the winner for
the life-size statue of Montana's below
ed artist. The Indian hestitated only a
moment as he looked over the work
OF seven American sculptors, before he
pointed his finger to Mrs. Lincoln's
model, which showed the artist in n
Of his characteristic poses of medita-
ton, mentally gazing over the pictur-
esque prairie and the beautiful sun
set in the west. It was unanimously
selected for the Hall of Fame at Wash
ington, D. c., by the Montana Russell
memorial commission at Great Falls
the next day.
The work of the Great Falls artist
was selected out Of a group Of seven
models submitted, some by leading
sculptors in the United States. In the
words of the commission, Mrs. Lin
coins model showed Russell as an
artist, in which capacity he served
Montana and as such tells the desired
story. 1t also shows him as a cowboy
and in a characteristic attitude. 1t
depicts the artist as a westerner and
as a thinker.
The little model, from which a life
size statue will be made by Mrs.
Lincoln, shows Russell seated upon a
rock with a paint brush in n hand
and a palette in the other. He is sit
ting in a slightly stopped position with
a far away look in his eyes, mentally
picturing familiar scenes which he re-
