Few Regain Liberty Once Doors of Sing-Sing Cl ose H W Y O R K.—Escapes from prisons are bv no means a rarity, and will not be until plucky and energetic criminals have passed from the earth; but there probably never was a more daring and romantic escape than that of William Green from Sing Sing a short time ago. When the delivery is described as that of William Green, it is not for- j gotten that four other convicts es caped with him. Rut it was Green's delivery and not theirs. His was the j conception, his the execution: the other men simply accepted his invita- j tion to go along with him when he had made the way, beaten down the keep ers, and. in the presence of 195 con victs. spent 20 minutes in leisurely carrying out his plan. Rut for the crowded condition of Sing Sing prison he couid not have done it—at least, not in just this way. A man of his determination and in genuity would probably have found some other. For. as a well-known prison official said to a New York Times reporter: “Well, the Brooklyn bridge was opened in 1£S3. wasn't it? And after that the transit conditions in New York had to get to the point of unen durability before another bridge was opened, didn't they? And your Sub way was opened only when the ele vated railroads were absolutely un able to carry the passengers, wasn't It? And your subsequent subway and other transit improvements have come only when the patience of the public was taxed to the last notch, haven't they? "That's the answer. You can't get a reform in New York state until con ditions have become positively un bearable. It's no use to point out the advisability of a reform; you've got to prove that not a wheel can be turn ed until the reform is enacted. Other wise you won't get it." New Prison Projected. In 1907 a commission was appoint ed to relieve the congestion in Sing Sing prison. It recommended Bear Mountain as a site for a new prison, and work was commenced. It went on for two years, and then J. Pier pont Morgan. Mrs. Edward H. Harri man. the Rockefellers, and other rich people got together, bought up the surrounding land, and presented it to the state as a park, with the proviso that no rart of the ground should be used for prison purposes. The state accepted the gift, with the conditions, and that put to naught all that had been done in the meantime in the way of relieving the Sing Sing congestion and made it necessary to begin all over again. This escape of Green's was more or iess of a novelty. The usual course has been to make a rush. But Green, In the most leisurely manenr in the world, attacked the two keepers in charge of the dormitory, laid them out, then took out a saw which he had se cured somewhere, sawed at a window for 20 minutes, invited his fellow-con victs to join him, was reinforced by four of them, dropped out of the win- ! dow, and disappeared. Few Get Away. Warden Frost said to a Times re porter that in his Incumbency there had been six deliveries at Sing Sing, and in five cases out of the six the ; convicts were caught before they were out of the prison precincts—that was | a case in which four men made a rush. 1 In another case, in which two men ; rushed the guards while they were at work in the kitchen, the men were , caught before they had been gone j three hours. The historic instance of an escape ; from Sing Sing was in 1893, when Roehl and Pallister escaped. It was an unfortunate escape for them, for a few days later one of them shot the other In a quarrel and then commit ted suicide. But in the meanwhile they had baffled all the efforts of the state to recapture them. Pallister and Roehl lay In wait for Hulse's partner. John W. Murphy, let him into the death house, and shut on him the heavy, ironhound oak door that shuts the corridor from sound and sight. Then they pinioned and disarmed him and thrust him into Roehl's cell and locked him in. After ttiat Roehl and Pallister open ed the cell of Carlyle W. Harris, the medical student who murdered his wife, and offered him freedom. Harris declined It. They made the same of Diagram of the Escape at Sing Sing. fer to two other murderers, both of whom refused. In each case Roehl and Pallister. having received the re fusal, locked the cell doors on the doomed men. Roehl and Pallister broke through a skylight, hoisted themselves to the roof, dropped easily to the ground, scaled a twelve-foot fence, got down to the riverside, and shoved off in a small boat. The scene of the escape was quite near that where Green and his followers fled the other night. Ail clues were found false, and no attempt to capture the men proved successful. But while on their way down the river they quarreled, and one of them shot the other with Hulse's pistol and then committed sui cide. Escapes from Sing Sing have not been very frequent, and no concerted jail-breaks have been successful. Be fore the tall iron fence was built along the river front prisoners sometimes es caped over the Hudson ice in winter. Once a prisoner constructed a duck shaped helmet out of felt obtained from a hat factory operated in the prison. He floated out into the river with it drawn over his head, drifting with the tide for a mile, when he land ed and made good his escape. Almost Gained Liberty. Two men were caught once under a load of barrel-staves a contractor was hauling away from the prison yard. A guard stationed on the Ossining bluff noticed that the horse was straining harder than usual in making the up hill trip and ordered the load thrown off. Alfred Walker, who was once a prison contractor, had a flowing beard. A prisoner made up a beard like his and drove out of the prison in the bug gy in which he had just driven in. none of the guards suspecting him. He was overhauled a mile away and re captured. Another prisoner, in the days before the close supervision and the practise of patrolling the walls, at tempted to ride away on a saddle horse on which a contractor named Anthon Murray had ridden up to the prison The horse was shot from ud der him and he was captured. The most remarkable jail delivery in recent years, before Green’s adventure was recorded, was a thing that hap pened in Sing Sing on July 2S last. The sudden sight of an open gate, unguarded and within easy reach, stirred an unpremeditated wanderlust in the hearts of several hundred pris oners. Twelve had the courage of their convictions and broke for liber ty. but of these eight wavered and turned back when bullets from repeat ing rifles in the hands of assembling guards began to kick up the dust about them. The four who kept goir^ enioved a period of hunted freedom lasting for fifteen minutes In the case of three of them and an hour for the fourth. The break occurred at 9:30 o'clock and the next two hours were the most ■ xciting of any in the big prison since Warden Frost took charge, up to the time of Green's flight. The warden himself was in the prison yard when the guards began to shoot from the north wall, and he assumed command of the situation, ordering that the north gates be swung to and every prisoner Inside marched as speedily as possible to his cell. All work was shut down, and while the guards pursued the four prisoners j outside the 1.S32 prisoners remaining ! —that was the number then, in this prison built to hold 1.200—were locked in their ceils, from which they could hoar the rifle shots a.nd speculate up- , on the fate of the four who were tniss tng. It was not due to the marksmanship of the guards that the prisoners were recaptured. One of them ran a dis tance of 300 yards under tire and fell from exhaustion. Another made for an ice house in the flat north of the prison wall, and succeeded in reaching it. only to be discovered by a search ing party as he was attempting to crawl under the floor. A third made a clump of bushes 400 yards away in spite of the bullets that spattered around him, and was hunted out of his hiding place. The fourth had as exciting an ex perience as any dime novel hero could wish for. He worked his way along the prison wall directly beneath the guard towers, where he was in easy range, scaled a stone wall that was higher than his head, braved a maze of railroad signal wires in leaping to the railroad track, and then caught a freight train as it passed him at full speed. Had it not been for the fact that residents of Ossining who had been attracted by the excitement in the prison yard and out of it saw the pris oner swing in between two freight cars he probably would have succeed ed in getting away. Several citizens ran down the bluff east of the prison and notified Warden Frost that one of his men was going south at twenty mile clip with a good hold on a coupling device between two cars. The attention of the warden’s force had been concentrated on the land ly ing close to the river, and they were still scurrying over it when the news about the freight train reached them. Six guards were immediately hustled into an automobile, and. with an extra supply of ammunition, were sent south under orders to overhaul the freight train and cut off retreat into the hills along its left flank. Another squad was sent directly down the track on foot to see that no body wearing a prisoner's gray es caped in that direction, while a pas senger train was commandeered to rush a squad past the freight and form an advance guard for it. The freight was ordered stopped by wire from a signal tower and the pas senger train speeded past it. stopping immediately afterward long enough to let off Warden Frost’s men. They be gan their search of the freight on a siding just north of Scarborough, into which it had been directed to pull by the railroad officials on request of Warden Frost. The guards coming rrom the rear and those who covered the roadways leading toward the hills closed in grad uallv, while the squad that had con'.’ on the passenger train searched care fully through the freight cars. At first it seemed that their quarry had got away from them, but suddenlv : he darted out from between two ca- - . and made a break northward up the 1 track, only to find himself an easy cap- j tive In the hands of a squad of guards who were too tired from their long run from Ossining to chase him fur-; ther and were willing to use their re peating rifles. The prisoner, by skillfully manoeu vering between the cars and under them, had escaped detection during the first part of the search, but had ; finally broken from cover to take a chance on the fleetness of his heels ! He was marched back up the railroad to Ossining surrounded by the three ; squads that came out to make the cap ture certain. When he was taken to his cell the count stood 1.S36. which ; was the full number of- Warden Frost's list. ON A JAPANESE WARSHIP Quick and Intelligent Work Is De manded of the Sailors of the Mikado. The life of the sailor aboard the ( fighting craft of Nippon is one of mOch hard work and very little recrea tive opportunity. The American sailor, for all his characteristic energy and enthusiasm, would doubtless prefer to be "serving time" in Moyamensing. A writer in the Morning Post de scribes the active energizing from early morning till the night watches aboard a Japanese cruiser: “We were bowling along with de serted decks and the slop of water creaming beneath the chrysanthemum at our bows. Suddenly the sharp stac cato notes of a bugle rang from the navigating bridge, and in 60 seconds the continuous stream of little brown men. pouring from every nook and cranny, had resolved Itself into small groups at their appointed stations. The desert-decks were dotted with oases ol sock-shod sailors—silent, i grim wWt. The steady drone of the engines alone broke the heavy still- I ness. "For a moment the groups stood j like carven images. Then another I bugle shrilled, and the groups fused j into a mass of ordered chaos. Diminu- j live figures sprang up chains into the ! outhanging boats, canvassed them | against splinter by shell, and swung j them Inboard; a'wnings. ensign masts, , stanchions, chains, loose gear and ropes disappeared as if by magic; muzzle plugs, gun cloths and a hun dred and one other things that litter the deck in piping times of peace fled with the rapidity of a magician's art; signal flags, ammunition, stretchers, gun-sights and range finders popped from secret places, sped hauled j through the air by unseen hands, dis- j appearing in fighting tops and other I unexpected places. For a few brief | moments the ship took unto herself 1 the appearance of a beehive. Then. I within seven minutes, the clustering masses melted, until the decks again j lay silent and bare but for the knot of bridge officers and men about the j smaller guns. All were a* their sta- 1 ’ions—half a hundred tiny townships : conected by electric nerves and speak ing tubes to the central authorities in conning tower and fighting top. " 'Bad, very bad—I told you so,' said the commander sadly. "The snails have taken seven minutes to clear for action. Now. on the Mikasa or Sat suma we do it in under five.' "Personally I thought seven minutes a miracle of speed in which to change a ship from a yacht into so wicked looking engine of war. and told him SO. “'Igh; we are a pleasure ship' he grunted in disgust.” . Women Sailors. Women sailors are employed la Denmark. Norway and Finland, and are often found to be excellent mar iners. In Denmark several women are employed as state officials at sda, and particularly In »he pilot service. They go out to meet the incoming ships; they climb nimbly out of their boats; they show their diploma, and they steer the newcomer safely Into the harbor. It is the same in Fin land. WRONG IN THAT DIAGNOSIS Physician's Method Msy Have Boo* All Right, but Her* H* was at Fault.

You i are suffering from 'liver.'" "My right eyeT" asked the patient. "Yes." returned the doctor. "It shows me plainly that your liver is cut of order." "Excuse me. doctor." said the pa tient. apologetically. "Mv right eye's a glass one." AWFUL BURNING ITCH CURED IN A DAY • In the middle of the eight of March 30;h I woke up with a burning itch m my two hands and 1 felt as it 1 could pull them apart. In the morning the itching had gone to my chest ana dur tng that day It spread all over nvy body. I was red and raw from the top of my head to the soles of my feet and I was in continual agony from the Itching. I could neither lie down nor sit up. I happened to see about Cuti cura Remedies, and l thought I would give them a trial. I took a good hath with the Cuticura Soap and used the Cuticura Ointment. I put it on from my head down to my feet and then went to bed. On the first of April I felt lilts a new man. The itching was almost gone. 1 continued with the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment i and during that day the itching com pletely left me. Frank Grid’ty. 333 East l?rd Street. N'ew York City.
