Three young convicts serving time
for local robberies were back In GUS

after dash for freedom down an
underground conduit and into ravine
at the edge of the unwalled prison
grounds last night.
The three were captured as they
lay In a ditch. awaiting a chance to
slip by the outer watch tower on the
northeast corner Of the grounds. The
prisoners surrendered when search
light spotted them and guard turned
his gun in their direction.
The convictS were:
Jay c. Lankford, %, of Union, S. c.,
serving two to three years for assault
and battery. He was committed No

term, having escaped from a prison in
the Southeast, Lorton officials said.

who was serving two to five years for
robbery and joyriding. He was COM

Cecil r. Kenney, 18, also of WASH
ington, who was serving 18 months
to three years for robbery. He was
committed October IS.
Hunted With Bloodhounds.
The three we're unaccounted for
until almost IL O'Clock last night.
They huddled In a ravine. afraid to
make dash across the grolnd lit by
searchlights and covered by the guns
in the watch towers, while half q
hundred guards hunted them with the
aid of pack of bloodhounds.
The prisoners had been gone for
about three hours when they sur
rendered. They told Col. William l..
Peak, superintendent, that they
slipped out of the dormitory for Sec
ond offenders shortly after the 7:30
pm. check-up. They dashed across
the prison yard unobserved and let
themselves into an underground con-
duit through q manhole
The fugitives worked their way
through the conduit for steam pipes
and emerged In the boiler room, from
crawled along it toward the outer
limits OF the grounds.
Alarm Is Given.
Meanwhile. the prison telegraph"
spread rumor that three men had es-
capped. Another check-up was ordered
and the missing men were identified.
The alarm WAS oivop opd tho o,,ordc
turned out for general search.
When they saw they were spotted
the prisoners shouted, raising their
hands above their heads:
I'VE give up!"
A dozen armed guards marched
the convicts back to prison. The three
had sought to elude the bloodhounds
by going into the steam tunnel, which
was excessively hot.

An attendant this morning found

In fact, Lorita came to the Union
so long ago no one could remember

Lorita was given the freedom Of the

shouted greetings In Spanish and Eng

him-"Hello, hello there" or "Buenos

Lorita won the disfavor Of former

STREET WELCOMES
RELIEF INQUIRY
Believes Impartial Probe
Will Reveal Lack of
Funds for Work.

Belief that an impartial investiga-
ton of the relief situation here would
show a tremendous" need has not
been met for lack of sufficient appro-
priation was voiced today by Elwood
Street, director of public welfare.
Speaking for the Board Of Public
Welfare. Mr. Street welcomed" the
investigation planned yesterday by the
House, when it appropriated $4,000
for the purpose. and he added that
the House District Committee was "a
highly competent and intelligent
group of gentlemen"
Mr.. Streets statement read:
Il would welcome any investigation
Of the Public Assistance Division Of
the Department of Public Welfare, and
its administration of relief funds, by
any impartial and competent author
ity. as recommended in the House ap-
preparation bill
Tremendous Need.
IF $4,000 can be appropriated for
this purpose and extended, really to
get at the relief needs of the District,
including the need for adequate per-
sonnel. am all for It, I believe that
any impartial investigation of the
facts will show that there is tre-
mendous unmet need in the District,
and that adequate and competent per-
sonnel is necessary for the economical.
effective and human expenditure Of
relief funds.
Il believe further that any such in
vestigation will show that relief funds
have been expended as we'll as they
could be by the staff Of the Public
Assistance Division, within the limit
of the funds which were appropriated
for personnel to carry on the work of
investigation of eligibility for assist
ance, amount of assistance needed and
ways of developing resources which
might reduce the amount of relief
needed or make 1t unnecessary.
The Board of Public Welfare would
be happy to cooperate to the fullest
extent of its facilities, providing for
such an investigation all available in
formation. not only as a matter of
official responsibility, but also as a
service to public understanding Of re-
lief needs and the most effective way
of meeting them.
Welcome Suggestions.
If out Of such an investigation
sound and constructive suggestions
could be developed for the improved
handling of relief funds. they would
be most enthusiastically adopted with
in the limits of the funds which are
available, and the laws which govern
the expenditure OF those funds. The
Board Of Public Welfare welcomes at
all times suggestions for Improvements
OF service from any competent source
and will be happy to do all that lies in
its power to make this investigation as
effective as it possibly can be for the
sake OF the needy people of Washing
ton and for the sake Of the conserva-
ton Of taxpayers funds.
Il see by newspaper accounts that it
is proposed that this investigation be
made by the House District Commit
tee. think this is highly competent
and intelligent group of gentlemen. I
should welcome the opportunity of
working with them on a survey such as
the one which is proposed"

rugged individualism of this sort
In the service. .-..
Yesterday, however, the Board
Of Tax Appeals held that, although
Mr.. Van Valin's transactions ran
high into the thousands, his net in
come for 1888 was only $l,298.13,
and, with deductions, left nothing
for taxing.
In 1884. the board said, the net
was $6,081.4l, and the tax to be
. paid on that still Is to be deter
mined.

delivery carrier for Nelson and

The tax dispute hinged on the
question Of whether or not the

said yes.

 Radio and the motion picture are held partly responsible for a general debasement of the English language by President Dixon Ryan Fox of Union College.

It may be; but, after al the typewriter very nearly seventy old. It in universal by the beginning of the present century. Did the decline in language standards begin early that?
 There may be a pretty research problem in Henry James. In his later years he dictated his novels to secretary. One might find out when Henry James took up the dangerous habit of dctation Dr. Fox considers it. and whether the effects traceable in the Henry James style.

HOW ABOUT SWAPPING WRANGEL IS LAND FOR 4 DEFENSE PROGRAM?

Aaskans generally will approve the stand o1 U S Senator Robert M Reynolds of North Carolina in favor of Alaska defense bases The Senator sound ed similar note when he up here last summer and in an interview in the Army and Navy Journal now comes out for Army air base at Fairbanks, naval bases at Stka and Kodiak and other defense measures far out into the Aleutians as well as into -~the Arctic We hope the Senator will be able to con- vince his colleagues in Congress of the need for setting aside sufficient money carry this defense pro- gram in the north.
 M And he will win vote of thanks from most Alas --kans for anything he do to further the Inter- national Highway and improve steamship service to the Territory from the States which he also advo- cates All are things which need the support of such men as the Senator from North Carolina.
 Senator Reynolds also says he is going to intro duce bill in Congress calling on the State Depart nent to establish title to Wrangel Island north of Siberia And Alaskans will find objection to that. However would like to make the suggestion that if and when the United States gets title to it. that it be sold to Russia whoever wants it and the money obtained for it be used to carry out the Alaska defense program ably outlined by Senator Reynolds

PLANNED DEVELOPMENT"

Territorial Senator Victor c. Rivers, speaking recently before the Fairbanks Chamber of Commerce advocated policy of planned development" in con- trast with of planned conservation" The Sena- tor was taking exception to the Resources Com mittee report of January prepared for the Pres dent expressing the fear that will lead to further bureaucratic dominance of Alaska
 He saw danger of tie up of timber and mineral resources as handicap to the individual in his de- sire to develop the country and expressed fear of the possibility of adoption by the administration of policy of controlling mining and permitting operations only under a lease system.
 There is much to be said in support of the Sena- tors thought of planned development" It first crystalized at the last legislative session when the Alaska Planning Council created. Since that time the Planning Council has been working along the line suggested by Senator Rivers, one of planned development and the progress it has made is expected to be one of the hghlights which will bespresented to the 1889 Legislature when it convenes here in January.
