MRS. GANN AS STUMP SPEAKER WINS LAURELS First Spellbinding Tour in Middle West Made by Curtis' Sister. Bit United Press WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.—Mrs. Edward Everett Gann, sister of VicePresident Charles CurtiS, has returned from a speaking tour of the middle west, a full-blown flower.

into half a dozen fates where she addressed count--1 *s women. She reported her resists to the White House like any seasoned trouper. Mer reputed success was so great slfe is believed likely to be sent out afSiin in an eflort to “resell Hoover" to! the women. ‘‘She made a hit,” one administration leader commented. “She has made a success as a political speaker, and I wouldn’t be surprised her making other trips. She isjiked by the women wherever she goes, and that is an asset in politics.” ?Dolly” herself gleaned the impression that the women she saw weere still for Mr. Hoover. She spoke in* Topeka, Kan.; Omaha, Neb.; Chicago and other cities, and reported: it was her first baptism of political fire, and to all accounts she loved it. Her oratory has been characterized as somewhat on the “fourth of July” order, full of oft-spoken verities and flag-wavings. In one of her speeches she is reported to have referred to the depression as no longer in existence. HOARDING ARGUMENT! RAT CHEWS UP $250 Indiana Farmer’s Misfortune Used as Campaign Propaganda.

Following is the explanation of Ripley’s “Believe It Or Not,” which appeared in Thursday’s Times: Seven Irishmen in a Single Birth—The account of the seven Irish children born in one birth is contained in Aubray’s “Natural History of Wiltshire.” The mother of the set of septuplets was Thomas Bonham’s wife, Edith, who became the mother of twins at the age of 40 and then, after an interval of seven years, bore seven children in a single birth. This incredible event was recorded in the parish register of Wishford Magna, Ireland, and was commemorated by a monumental inscription in Wishford, where the

WOMEN SCALE PRISON WALL Two Escape After Stealing Keys From Matron. Two women criminals who escaped from the Indiana Woman’s prison Thursday night by scaling a wall, are sought today by city and state police. The women are Jean Stamper, 21, of Muncie, convicted of conspiracy in connection with the $15,000 robbery of the Twelve Mile State bank, and Juanita Daughty, 23, of Terre Haute, serving a term for aiding in a Brazil jail delivery. They stole the keys of a matron, while on duty, in the prison kitchen, unlocked a door to a terrace and climbed a wall bordering an alley in the east boundary of the institution. Both were dressed in prison garb and were reported seen in the vicinity of the prison an hour after the escape. No further trace of either prisoner had been reported today. Miss Margaret M. Elliott, prison superintendent, said the matron supervising kitchen workers had placed her keys on a table when called to another part of the prison. According to prison records, the Daughty woman has escaped twice before and Mrs. Stamper once previously. Mrs. Stamper was sentenced to two to fourteen years, Oct. 24, 1930, following conviction in Newcastle of aiding her husband, Joel Stamper, in robbing the Twelve Mile State bank in August, 1930. Stamper was sentenced to fifteen years at the Indiana state prison. Miss Daughty was convicted April 12, 1929, of smuggling saws and keys into the Brazil city jail. Escape of three men followed.

By United Press CHICAGO, Feb. 19. step, the march toward a climax in Chicago’s startling municipal financial crisis advanced today.
