DALLAS, Sept. 5.-Harvey
Bailey, charged with kidnapping
Charles F. Urschel, Oklahoma oil
millionaire, and with the shooting
of four officers and their prison
ers at Kansas City, escaped from
Dallas county Jail.
He covered the jailer with a
gun when the latter went to the
cell to take breakfast.
Bailey then locked the jailer in
the death cell and escaped in the
officers automobile. He was later
seen driving north out of Dallas.
When he took the breakfast up,
the jailer found Bailey with a pis-
toll in his hand. He walked small
flight of stairs to the death cell
above the fifth floor.
The jailer unlocked the door
of the runaround and found Bailey
had sawed his way out of the in

the jailer in the death cell. He
then walked down to the sixth
floor where Ed Morrow was jailer
on duty.
He covered Morrow and asked
about the elevator. About that
time the elevator came up with q
negro operator and a Jail chef.
Bailey forced Morrow and the
chef into a cell. The negro dis.

UVALDE, Tex, Sept. 5.-Far
from the hubbub of Washington
with its problems of national re-
covery and international affairs,
Mr.. and Mrs. John N. Garner have
been spending a quiet summer hol-
iday in their Uvalde home.
So casual is the vice president
of the United States about his of
ficial duties that fellow towns
people have to pinch themselves
occasionally to realize he is really
right here in their midst.
Usually Found At Home
Garner has been here ever since
congress adjourned. He has rarely
left his home, nestled in clump
of pecan trees, except to go on a
fishing jaunt or a hunt with some
hounds recently given him.
There is good deal of tele-
phoning and telegraphing from
the Garner home, however, to say
nothing of the work that goes on
in a little frame structure only a
few steps from the comfortable
house where the Carriers live. The
Garner offices" are in that build

Virgil S. Lowe, Sc years

yesterday morning about 7
O'Clock when an automobile

Billy Lowe, son of Virgil,
was also a passenger. He
went through the terrible ex-
perience with no injuries and
told the first coherent story
of the accident.
While going over the bridge it
was noticed that the radiator cap
had fallen off. Mr.. Lowe applied
the brakes to stop the truck and
recover the cap. The vehicle skid
ded, tore through the guard rail
and went down out of sight in the
channel.
After terrific struggle to get
out of the cab on the truck, Mr..
Lowe and his companions started
to swim to shore. Billy was
shouting directions to. his father
and Mr. johnson was bringing up
the rear.

HAVANA, September S.
-Cuba's revolutionary gov

prepared to resign in favor
of commission of five men
selected by leaders, soldiers

seized power through
bloodless coup d'etat last
night soon after details be-

The coup placed power in

Privates, corporals and

control, placing machine

They said the commission

Soldiers were dissatisfied
about pay cuts. Although
there was no fighting in the

Got to See Knapp

He is said to be the man who
makes Maryland's big political
shots. He is what you might
call a one-man Tammany. It
seems you've got to have Judge
Knapp's approval before you
can be anyone of significance
in Maryland-which is one of
Washington'S next-door neigh
bors if you please.
Outside of the fact he is the
Free States master legal mind
and the fact that he is a tall,
gaunt, important-looking indi-
vidual, who incidentally never
makes you feel as though he
were important, there's no
more excuse for calling him
judge than there is for calling
you or me by such a title.
Courtley, gracious and sedate,
his voice has that rhythm and
resonance and kindness, too,
that instinctively make you say
to yourself -" why, that man
must be a judge, no less!"
Leastways. Judge Knapp is
just that to me, and truth or
fiction, he's a judge in my book
and there's absolutely nothing
that can be done about that.
