KNOX URGESLAWS
BEFEWER, BETTER
Washington Can't Run U. S.
Business He Says at
HagerstoWn.
BY the Associated Press.

HAGERSTOWN, Md, August 90
Col. Frank knox, delivering his third
campaign address as Republican vice
presidential candidate in pelting
shower. told an audience of merchants
last night that 1.-The business Of this
country cannot be run from Washing
ton"
Knox addressed business men Of the
United Retail Merchants Association
composed of retailers from Maryland,
Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Vir-
ginia, while rain drenched hundreds
of his audience in the Hagerstown
Fair Grounds.
Before the rain broke. John r.
Fisher, president Of the 'URMA," eS-
timated the crowd at $4,000. Those
in the covered grand stand laughed
while others scurried for cover.
Takes Refuge With Nice.
Other estimates of the crowd ranged
from 10000 to $4,000.
Knox, grinning as the rain soaked
his white linen suit, took refuge under
a tarpaulin with Gov. Harry w. Nice,
Republican chief executive Of Mary
land, and others on the open speak
er's platform.
The rain began only 10 minutes be-
fore Knox was slated to talk. Imme-
diately the public address system was
connected with a small judging stand
to the right of the speakers platform
and Knox opened his speech on sched-
ule, hidden from sight Of the south
sections of the grand stand.
Knox drew applause when he de-
manded fewer laws and better laws"
and when he denounced "regimenta-
ton" and cracking down"
His declaration that the Federal
Government cannot run business"
also was saluted with whistles and ap-
plause.
After the first downpour, the rain
continued to drizzle. A crowd police
estimated at 1,500 stood in the rain
as Knox spoke from the small judges
stand on the race track.
Pays Tribute to Richie.
Knox paid tribute at the outset Of
his speech to Democrat, the late
Gov. Albert c. Richie of Maryland,
as great American" and declared:
While he was my political opponent,
in the fundamental issues now before
the Nation he would be speaking the
same ideas in the same language"
The reference to Ritchie was
cheered loudly.
Knox called for a Government of
simplicity, economy, and certainty"
asserting: 1T is high time we abandon
this foolish notion that Government
can direct industry and control pro-
duction and guarantee profits and in
sure wages"

The shirt tag precipitated immediate

Serving S1a-Year Term.
Oliver had been serving a 3la-year
sentence on two convictions for chickea
stealing and receiving stolen goods In
Capitol Heights. Md. He entered the
Baltimore Penitentiary November 2,
1885, and about a month later was
sent to the Spring Grove State Hos

Baltimore. On July 81, he was trans

ed prisoners.
Gall was committed to the peniten-
tiary January 8. 1888, for burglary in
Baltimore. His sentence was to have
expired March 9, 1887.
The two men became acquainted
at the prison farm, where they worked
in stone quarry. Like their $50 fell
lows, they were unguarded and al
lowed to roam the farm more or less
at will.
"Taps" at the prison usually is
sounded at 10 pm. and a check-up
made of the inmates. Saturday night,
however, the men were allowed to
stay up little later than usual be-
cause they have no work on Sunday.

Oliver and Gall were in the recrea-
ton hall about 10:15 pm. When an
overseer turned his back, they ran
out the door, customarily locked, but
left open that night because Of the
heat.
Prison officials believe the pair ran

had received q letter from him in
forming her that he had been trans

Both Oliver and Gall at first at

police, but Oliver subsequently ad-
mitted his escape and that he had
been prowling around Farr's house.
divers first story was that he had
been drinking with two friends and

BY JAMES J. MONTAGUE.


News that fish suffer toothache
gives the anglers . new excuse Tor
getting no bites.)
If you fish for trout or a salmon,
Which refuses to rise to your fly,
There is more to his fright
And reluctance to bite
Than meets the more casual eye
You may think that fish has no
worries,
That its life is unhampered by laws;
But you cannot be sure
What he had to endure
Maybe toothache is racking his jaws
A fish cannot go to the dentist
When his molars are out Of repair
He suffers in vain,
But won't grouse or complain
AS long as he's safe in his lair.
He knows that for any assistance
1t is utterly useless to look.
Though his tooth causes pain,
There is nothing to gain
BY being impaled on hook.
No wonder a trout prefers places
In which he may safely abide;
And rarely will roam
A long distance from home.
In the foaming and turbulent tide
No wonder he fears the keen angler
And always keeps peeled a sharp
eye:
He's pretty bright scout,
Is the average trout,
And he'd rather have toothache
than die.
