Men Cleaning
Lift Escape
From Jailer
Sheriff’s Deputies Make Fruit
less Search for Fugitive*
—Both Convicted of
Felonies.
Two men. both convicted of felonies,
escaped from the county jail shortly
after 6 yesterday morning.
The men, JJovd ' Johnson. serving
three months for auto stealing, and
Clarence Parker, six mortfis for rob
be^y, were trusties. They were scrub
bing the prison elevator.
"! shouted several trmes to them to
stop when I observed that they were
lowering the lift," said Fred Koenig,
one of the jailers, "They would not
stop."
'.Then I ran into the sheriff’s office
for help."
Several deputies made a fruitless
effort to locale the men, who. ac
cording to police, are dangerous
criminals.
'Chief Peputy Foster stated that
Sheriff Entires has no elevator man
in the forenoons. Usually the "in
sidfc" deputies take turns at the lift.
Although: the men escaped at an
early hour, no information was given
to the press until several prisoners,
waiting to be arraigned in criminal
court, told of the jail break.
It was said by one prisoner that
several other trusties could have
made their escape because uf the
confusion that followed.
Jailer Joe Sherry Was noncommit
tal on the escape except for saying
that he "trusted" the men.

Hughes, were outlined yesterday in a
telegram made public by the State

hued with the spirit of our institu

ernment of law, a sinpere desire to
better in every practicable way the
conditions of human life, loyalty In
all the relations of life and the dis
position to he kindly and fair in all

Peace Trend iii
Ruhr Row Seen
Both Allies and Germans Tir
ing of Contest, Correspon
dents Declare.
London, March 10.—Although of
fering no very definite evidence to
support their statements, some of
the British correspondents in the
Ruhr assert that there is a tendency
Inwards peace and that both sides
would welcome a settlement, ending
the strain of the last few weeks.
Both the workers and the indus
trialists on tlie German side are tired
of the struggle, the correspondents
say, the former seeing no hope of
winning while at the same time,
their sufferings are augmented
daily. The industrialists, with the
exception of one or two of the most
influential, are feeling Increasingly
the pinch of lost trade and are fear
ing for the future.
The French on their part are
represented as suffering scarcely
less. They have not gotten what
they went into the Ruhr to obtain,
and French industries are being se
I rioualy affected by the curtailment
of the coal supply.
The suggestion in these dispatches
1 is that, it will be impossible for pres
ent conditions to continue much
longer.
