SEVEN PRISONERS AND
TWO GUARDS IN PARTY

Raleigh, Feb. 15.-(AP)-Seven or
eight heavily armed desperadoes kid
mapped two officials and escaped from
Caledonia prison farm this morning,
and at midday the penal division re-
ceived reports they had kidnapped one
or more motorists as they fled into
Warren county.
Caledonia officials reported at noon
everything is under control here"
Reported in Warren.
First reports said the convicts head
ed toward Virginia, but shortly after
IL o'clock. they were seen Between
Arcola and Brinkleyville, small viii
lagos in Warren and Halifax counties,
heading west just south of the Vir-
ginia State line.
Caledonia is in Halifax county on
the Roanoke river, about 40 miles
south of Virginia.
Capus M. Waynick, Highway and
Public Works Commission chairman,
said he had rumors the prisons had
kidnapped a 19-year-old red-headed boy
and taken his car and also comman-
deered another machine so they could
abandon a prison truck they took at
Caledonia.
Two Guards Held.
Waynick expressed the belief the
prisoners still held Captain r. D.

Caledonia, and Steward w. L. Rob-

phase of the appropriations bill had
been discussed and explained in COM
mittee meetings, which in turn had
been presented in the newspapers, so
that all those members who wanted
to understand the bill already knew
all about it's provisions.
The second reason for it's quick en-
actment was that the revenue bill had
already passed the House and the
members knew that if the appropria-
tions were increased any, that the
revenue bill would also have to be in
creased and thus bring itNback to the
House for three more readings.

TIl'; pm . was rush ! through at the
him and the entire membership Of
the House an injustice.
Two Reasons Given.
There are two principal reasons for
the quick enactment of the appropria-
tions bill by the House, calling for
an appropriation of $79,834,OOO the
first year Of the biennium and of $7O,-
1874, 900 the second year, it is claimed
Fapilier With Bill.
The first Of these is that the bill
had already been explained to the
House members, item by item, while
the revenue bill was still under con-
sideration, with the result that they
already understood its provisions
thoroughly before the t2ill came up for
final consideration. In addition, every

from army engineers there was no
cause for worry anywhere.
The situation for inhabitants Of a SO
square mile area of inundated low
lands northwest of Vicksburg was not
SO encouraging and refugees continu-
ed to pour into camps provided by the
Red Cross Federal and State agencies.
At Baton Rouge, Governor Richard
Leche ordered levees on the Louisiana
side of the river in Concordia parish
parolled by National Guardsmen to
relieve them of the weight of thous-
ands of grazing cattle and hogs driv-
en- from lowland pastures by back
waters.

work there is now absolutely no roof,
the sky being the limit might be
taken by industrialists to give them
carte blanche to work their employees
up to the very edge of the law. Thus,
they fear, the measure might become
a boomerang. 1t is reliably reported
that the 55-hour bill was actually writ
ten by and with the consent of big in
dustrial interests.
Th"n too, there are some advocates
OF shorter hours who see little to be
commended in the measure likely to
De made into the law of the State. One
OF them pithily characterized the bill
thus 1T makes it unlawful for any
one to work more than "a hours in

The city'S gesture of goodwill,
completely endorsed by the state

throng of spectators who damned
around his open automobile at

"Im glad, too, that it was built
