An organized gang of yeggs,

street, over the weekend, obtaining
loot far in excess of $1,000, it was

The Redfern company officials
were unable to estimate their loss
until checkup could be made.
However, it was said, two checks in
the loot, which included all of Sat-
urday's cash receipts, totaled more
than $1,000.
Obtaining tools from the COM

the office and battered open a large

Former Chicago Utilities
Magnate Fights to Re-
gain Freedom.
By United Press

bW CHltCU IffSS
ISTANBUL, Turkey, April g.
Samuel insult was placed under for
NAL arrest by Turkish authorities
today, preparatory to turning him
over to the United States for extra
dition to face trial in Chicago.
insult was arrested at the little
London hotel, where he has been
under close police guard since he
was taken off his chartered Greek
steamer, the Maiotis, yesterday and
held by the courts to be subject to
extradition.
Fighting desperately for freedom,
insult consulted his local lawyers,
but it was not believed the purely
executive process of surrendering
him to the United States could be
long delayed.
In Detention House
From his hotel he was taken to
the house of detention to be kept in
custody until American authorities
call for him.
He stumbled upstairs to the re-
ception room where he waited I'M
til transferred to special quarters
He was formally advised he was
under arrest.
The spectators dispersed after tl--
huge iron doors had changed shut
behind INSULT. The detention house
is preliminary prison, housing
about 600 inmates.
May Come to N. Y.
1t was believed insult would be
placed on an early boat bound either
directly for the United States or
to a port where he could be trans
ferred to a New York boat.
He could be sent overland by the
Orient express to a European At
lantic port. Such step was re-
garded as unlikely, however, in view
of the various countries through
which he would have to pass, with
the danger of complications.
Although all action taken by Tur-
key in his case so far has been with
out an eXtradition treaty, one is
pending before parliament at An
CORA. 1t will be made retroactive,
so that insult comes under its terms.
1t may be passed today.

pageantry as the pope, wearing the
white papal mantle richly decor
ated with gold needlework, escorted
by cardinals, bishops, priests and
representatives of the Roman
clergy, carrying lighted candles and
singing hymns and psalms went by
way of the royal stairway to the
portico of the basilica and into St.
Peters Square cheered as the pro-
cession entered.
At the confessional altar, the Pope
knelt in prayer. Then the relics
were exposed-the piece of the true
cross. the lance with which, accord
ing to tradition, Roman soldier
pierced Christ's side on the cross,
and the veil with which st. Veronica
is held to have wiped the face of
Christ as he carried the cross to
Calvary and on which is repre-
sentation of Christ's features.

YOUTH FLEES
CHAIN GANG:
GUARD QUITS
Escape Unknown for Sew
eraI Hours; Deputy Re-
signs, Takes Beer Job.

Zone short for supper" was the cry
that echoed through the Marion
county Jail Friday, resulting in dis
covery that John Allen Lay, 10, al
legged burglar, had slipped his hand
cuffs several hours before anc
escaped.
While being led from the court
house to the Jail at noon Friday
hanocuffed to a prisoners chain
Lay squeezed his hand through the
handcuff and, in front of the jail
unostentatiously stepped away from
the chain gang of prisoners and
Joined group of persons walking
from the Jail.
The escape was not reported to
police until tWenty-four hours later
Deputy Sheriff Joe Tragresser, who
was guarding the rear of the line
of prisoners, surrendered his badge
to Sheriff Charles (Buck) Sumner
Saturday afternoon. He previously
had stated he intended to resign to
take position with the ABC
Brewery of st. Louis. He began
work in his new position today.
Sumner Told Saturday
II wasn't notified of the escape
of Lay until Saturday." Sheriff
Sumner said today. Immediately
1 fired Tragresser, who was going
to resign anyway to enter the beer
business. 1 am not sure that the
prisoner even was handcuffed."
With ten other prisoners, Lay was
being returned to Jail from criminal
court, all of them manacled to the
long chain. The prisoner who was
manacled to the opposite side of the
chain from Lay told John Bcvce
chief jailer, that he saw Lay walk
away, but said nothing about it at
the time.
Boyce explained today that Tom
Bell, a deputy sheriff, borrowed
from the sheriff'S Office in the
courthouse, was heading the line of
prisoners, who had been handcuffed
to the chain by Tragesser.
This is only the second prisoner
to escape since Sheriff Sumner took
Office" said Boyce. Three men lost
their jobs over the first man who
got away, but that was a case of
inexperienced deputies, who left a
door open soon after taking office.
Bill Is Exonerated
This case was different. Ira
gesser had been a deputy more
than three years. Bell was not to
blame because his back was to the
prisoners. 1t is hard to imagine
how any man could be at the rear
of the chain and not see Lay slip
his hand out of the handcuff and
walk away in a group of Jail Wis
itOrS.
"Tragesser told the sheriff he did
not know one prisoner was gone.
He did not account for the empty
handcuff. When one short for
supper was reported hours later, a
check was made. Lay was miss
ing"
Lay, living at 400 Virginia avenue,
is alleged to have confessed to po-
lice that he and Robert Ruff, 25, of
IT'S LIE Grande avenue, robbed two
drug stores.

The local situation relative to
the municipal light plant is very
much stirred up. and if we are at
all interested, should keep in very
close touch with things so as to take
advantage of any opening that
might present itself
The plant requires additional
equipment to add $4,000 XIV to the
station and cost about $1,000,O00-
and they have about 100000 avail
able to do this. The Manufacturer
Association has petitioned the COM
mission for a standby service with
an outside utility instead of build
ing to the present plant and also
asking for lowering of the rate
"The newspaper is against the
standby service and the lowering of
the rates, taking the position that
it is the first step to insult get
ting the plant. The newspaper
would rather see us get the plant
than insult, and are for us if tn
public sentiment is in favor of sell
ing the plant.
It's a Nice Mess
THE mayor and city attorney are
taking orders from Ed Harris, the
newspaper.
The city council is against the
newspaper and is for extending the
plant and lukewarm on lowering
rates. If rates are lowered they
can not 90 ahead with the plant i'm

Dan Hess, plant manager, is
working with the council, but is for
standby service and lowering rates,
which fits in with the manufac-
turers' ideas.
"A nice mess all around.
Dan Hess positively will talk
business with us any time we are
ready. This he told me last week
and will be glad to go anywhere for
a conference. Columbus or New
York.
Asks for Orders
"The commission has not def
nitely rendered a decision on stand
by service or the rates. My guess
is that they will straddle the ques-
ton on standby service and tell the
city that the rates at present are
low enough and that they must
have earnings to make improve
ments.
The manufacturers will hit the
ceiling and demand to be permitted
to make outside connections or
move away, or something to that
effect.

 When examination showed that the four coats could not possibly be done for $2,4S4, according to the architect and investigators, the matter was takenup with the New York MIRA office, since the com pany which got the bid has it's office in New York. Acting on all the information at hand, the MIRA compliance board of the metropolitan area found that the successful bidder had "underbid" to get the contract and notified the firm of that fact. Consequently the firm told the treasury depart ment at Washington that it would be forced to withdraw from the terms of the contract. Yesterday Postmaster James T. Kelley of this city was informed from Washing ton that the contract had been voided and that the HIM company was to be ordered to remove it's equipment from the postoffice building.
