Foster.
It wa* on appea! of one of these
that the case was before the (ilrcuit
court today. The other appeals have
been taken to the supreme court of

make it secure.
"A preliminary study of the situa
tion in the interior upper portion of
the executive mansion has indicated
a condition which renders the build
ing unsafe, both from the standpoint
of security in the structural features
and the fire hazard present," said
Major General Beach. "The condl
1 tions are such as to require that Im
mediate remedial measures be taken
to prevent a possible calamity.

his authority for the inclusion of the
item submitted herewith ($400,000) has
been requested. While such approval
has not yet beeen secured, the item
is tentative included herein.”

Dry Chief Here;
Visits Rohrer
W. L. Duncan Closeted W ith
Omaha Federal Prohibi
tion Director.
W. L. Duncan of Minneapolis, di
vision chief of prohibition enforce
ment, appeared at the federal building
in Omaha Monday.
Immediate cause of his visit was
not divulged. He was closeted for
some time with U. S. Rohrer, al
though the two operate independently
of one another in enforcing the pro
hibition laws. *
Duncan's agent in Omaha Is Robert
Pierce Samardlck.
Mr. Duncan was enthusiastic over
stiff fines and sentences being meted
out to offenders by Federal Judge
John F. McGee of Minneapolis, and
exhibited newspaper clippings telling
how the judge Imposed 112 sentences
in 130 minutes, consecutively, the sen
tences totaling 18 years, 10 months
and three days, and the fines totaling
133,700.
‘‘While I have no criticism of the
courts "here, I believe that heavier sen
tences would enable stricter enforce
ment of prohibition," he said.

Itentlary at tensing yesterday tyd
been surrounded near there.
By International Sierra Service.
Latnsing, Kan., Dee. 3.—An old
timer, who wan serving his second
term in the Kansas state penitentiary,
led the 13 convicts who escaped
through a tunnel to safety, according
to prison officials here today.
The prisoner, Frank Castro, 60 years
IflJl I/CVCIIIVCI ~Wf *%**•%*
old. had remembered the existence of
the old abandoned tunnel, which was
sealed about 30 years ago. Kven old
guards had not recalled the secret tun
nel and many of them about the peni
tentiary did not know of Ita exis
tence.
Castro had aided in sealing up the
old passageway for the new one. Laite
yesterday, while 1,000 other convicts
were enjoying Sunday, Castro led the
V
It other prisoners Into the secret
tunnel.
The escaped convicts literally bur
rowed themselves through rock, tnud
and slime which half blocked the
abahdoned tunnerl before they reach
ed an opening, 400 feet away.
Castro, the leader, and ''brains'’ of
the delivery, chose his men from
among the convict* who had good
prison records, a check up of the
prisoners at the institution today
shows.
Bloodhounds were placed on the
trail of the missing men, Immediately
their absence was discovered.
The pack of hounds took two trails.
>ne leading to Kansas City and the
other toward Leavenworth, indicating
•he prisoners had divided Into two
groups. The trails of both groups
sere followed for several miles but
were lost early today, prison officials
leclsrsd.
