TACOMA, Wash., Sept. 5.—Roy Gardner, notorious California mail train bandit ,escaped from Federal authorities for a third time today

he made a dash for liberty fence at McNeil Island peni-

tentiary. Two others who joined in the break were shot. Everett lupyn, serving- a life term was killed, and

the other, Lawardus Bogart serving a life term was

probably mortally.

First reports said Gardner was wounded. Officers started the chase for him immediately. Warden Maloney and his deputies said they were confident Gardner had not escaped from the island unless he had confed-

erates waiting.

Break Comes During Game The break took place during a hall game when more than 250 prisoners were w’atching the game. Gardner was playing on the team. The. three prisoners are said to have made a rush for the fence. Impyn w’as shot and killed almost instantly by the guards. Gardner got over the fence. Bogart was recaptured and taken to the prison hospital. SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Sept. 5.— Roy Gardner, on two occasions previous to his escape from prison today, escaped from officers while enroute to the penitentiary. Gardner made his first break for liberty in August, 1920 from a train at Port.and, Ore. One June 11 of this year he escaped from guards on a train near Castle Rock, Washington. He was captured at Centralia, Wash., on Jnne 1*5 and retaken to McNeil.

TOLEDO, O., Sept. 5.—Three men ! well, on the ground that they would,

convicted of conspiracy in the $1,000,000 postoffice robbery here last February 17 and, awaiting trial next month for alleged robbery in the same case, escaped from the county jail early this afternoon

without firing a shot.

The men are Joe Urbaytis, George Lewis, alias George Rogers, and Charles Schultz. The escape was effected by overpowering two deputy sheriffs who were left in charge of a jail full of prisoners, including eight

the bad.

Just why the Republican Congressmen should be in such need of a rest is hard to understand, for the votes recorded in the Congressional Record prove that the average roll call showed only about two thirds of the Republican Membership present, ex-

more convicted in the postoffice rob- i cepting during the first few days and hery, while Sheriff Jack Taylor was I the last few days of the session.

Walk out of Jail The fugitives walked out of the jail unmol^fted, after seizing four large revolvers from the sheriff’s desk. No trace of the convicts had been found late tonight despite a thorough search made bv practically j every available police officer in the

city.

All three of the convicts have long police records according to the authorities. Lewis is said to have been identified during his period of incarceration by California authorities as an escaped lifer from San Quentin, where he was serving for murder.

As the following summary indicates, the losers scored heaviest in the eighth inning on an error and sev eral hits. Only one umpire was used, and he being from Roachdale, did not do the unusual but seemed to favor the home team at least. The A. Z.

CONGRESS ON A VACATION WHILE NATION SUFFERS

By Wallace Bassford

(Special News Correspondent)

WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 6.— It was a splendid assemblage that gathered last March to witness the inauguration of President Harding, after eight years of Republican w.an dering in the wilderness, largely due to President Taft’s strong leaning to ward corporate interests and to Republican legislative favors to th* ^>ig rich. The crowd on the Presidential pavillion and the reserved sections was made up largely of silk hatted gentlemen whose names are found in the lists of the directorate of the big industrial corporations, railroads and banks. There were many greetings, much of handshaking and congratulating, but perhaps nothing was more enlightening than the brief con fab between one of the guests and one of the wise old Republican Senators who had seen McKinley and Taft come and go. The director was in tine fettle—the conditions were auspicious. He remarked, as he looked about <>n Republican Senators Representatives and hanger on, sleek prosperous and without number, that “it looks as if the niilennium has come.” "Yes”, replied the old and wise Senator,” and that same milennium will, within a few months,

blow up with a loud bang.”

It has not yet blown up, but those who saw the beginnings of cleavage in the Republican ranks in 1908, and saw that split result in the election of a Democratic Congress in 1910, are strongly reminded of those days. Dissention is strong in the Republican ranks today. Tbejr are again finding ample causes for disagreements along the old lines of standpatter and Progressive. While the Tariff Bill was being put together in the House, the Democrats ,with the assistance of Republicans who re-

BOONE COUNTY SHERIFF SLAYS FtOOZE RUNNER

LEBANON, Ind., Sept. 5.—In a

battle with booze runners late today on the Noblesville road, eight miles from Lebanon, Sheriff Joseph Cain shot and instantly killed one man, probably fatally wounded another and was himself badly beaten about the head. Three of the booze runners escaped. One of the heavily laden booze cars was abandoned. The slain man, the wounded booze runner tind Sheriff Cain were brought to Lebanon in a ambulance .

The dead man was about 26 years of age, of medium height, dark complexion and dark hair. He was shot in the center of the forehead. Sheriff Beaten on Head Sheriff Cain was beaten severely about the head and face, his assailants using “black jacks”. His wounds are not serious. One of the cars operated by the boo ze runners broke down near Rosston. Sheriff Cain was notified and with Policeman L. M. Pemberton drove to the scene and placed the five men under arerst. The sheriff took two of the men in his car and policeman Pemberton used one of the booze cars to drive the other three to Lbenon. Three Attack Sheriff En route to Lebanon the booze run ners attacked the officers. Sheriff Cain’s car was ditched. Policeman Pemberton was disarmed and covered with his own revolver while SherCain battled with three of the men. The sheriff, though repeatedly struck ab<iut the head fought on.

party whip, succeeded in modifying the bill in half a dozen important par titulars. In fact, they beat the organization on everything on which they were allowed to have a separate vote. Now it is learned that bill is to be laid aside, at least for a time, in order to give the right of way to the taxation bill, which was not started until after the Tariff Bill had passed the House. There are those who think it is being laid aside permanently. The President seems impressed with the regularity with which Republicans defeat has followed their tariff tinkering in the

past.

The session which recently took a month’s recess while the country is suffering from a score of serious ills passed but one bill of wide application and large importance—the Agricultural Credits bill. The President called the session to pass a new tariff bill to reduce the burden of tax ation and to take care of the railroads by legislating so that they could at once receive the money owed them by the Government and defer for ten years payment of those sums which the roads owe to the Treasury. None of these three things, which the Republicans claim are wise, salutory and needful, has been accomplished. The Congress got each

Harold Walker, of Cloverdale, was fined $5, for assault on Troy Broadstreet and Broadsjtreet although acquitted of a charge of provoke, was ordered by Judge Hughes to pay Walker $2.50 as a final settlement of a debt, when the cases of the young men were called for trial on Tuesday morning. Broadstreet, it seemed had hired Walker to take him to Patricksburg in his auto and was to pay him $12

only $9.50, when Walker told him that unless he paid the balance he would whip him. When Broadstreet refused to pay, Walker carried out

his threat.

Then Broadstreet filed an affidavit charging assault. Walker retaliated by filing an affidavit charging provoke. The hoys told their stories to Judge Hughes who straightened out the tangle by fining Walker and ordering Broadstreet to pay the $2.50

“If ail the run down, suffering people in South Bend knew what I know about Tanlac they certainly wouldn’t lose any time in getting a bottle,” said Charles E. McGriff, a coal truck driver, living at 205 East Dubail Ave., South Bend, Indiana. “My back used to hurt me so bad when I stooped over to pick up my shovel it seemed that I would break in two and the pains were so sharp I could hardly straighten up. I also suffered from indigestion, lost my appetite, and couldn’t eat anything without bloating all up with gas. I suffered §o much from headache and nervousness I couldn’t half sleep at night, and I often felt that I would gladly give a thousand dollars if I could get my health back. “Well, nothing helped me until I got Tanlac. I began to pick up rapidly after taking it, and now my back never hurts me a bit and I can shovel coal all day long without getting tired. My indigestion is gone., I eat three good meals a day and sometimes a snack between meals and I’ve actually gained twelve pounds in weight. My nerves and muscles are like iron again and I sleep like a lop every night and feel strong and well as a schoolboy.”

"Sir Robert Ball Is as full of fun as of learning.™ said the editor. “Once 1 dined with him and a half dozen other scientists at Stratford. At the end of the dinner Sir Robert’s eyes twinkled and he said to the landlady of the quaint Stratford Inn: “ ‘Madam, I am going to give you a lesson in astronomy. Have you ever heard of the great platonic year, when everything must return to its first condition? Listen, madam. In 26,000 years we shall 1 all be here again, on the same day and at the same hour, eating a dinner precisely like this one. Will you give us credit until then?’ “ 'Gladly,' the landlady replied. 'It Is Just 26,000 years since you were here before, though, and you left without paying then. Settle the old bill and I’ll trust you with the new.’”

The Gesture Language. Gesture, or sign, language was, beyond doubt, the earliest form of the communication of ideas Long before there were such things as words men talked to each other by mesns of wellunderstood signs. There are still tribes of men in Australia and the Islands of the Southern Seas, as well as In darkest Africa, who, when they wish to exchange Ideas at night, are obliged to build a fire so as to see by Its light the gestures that are their only meant of mental Intercommunication. To this day the sign language Is found useful even among highly advanced peoples. When yon cannot make a man understand your words you can oftentimes get along with him fairly well by “making motions.”
