R, LAIITZ ESCAPES FROMJCITY JAIL Man Is Mentally Unbalanced and City Is Scoured by the Officers.
Fearing that Ralph Iantz, the Milton young man. who has been confined at the county jail awaiting admittance to Eastern Indlaua. Hospital, who esraped from the county bastile early Wednesday morning, would secret himself bonicwhfro and attempt suicide, tho city and county authorities redoubled ordinary efforts to recapture the escaped Inmate. At a late hour not even tho slightest Information as to where h had none to after leaving the jail was gained by the authorities Lantz walked out of the jail about 6:13 o'clock Wednesday morning, having been given the liberty of the corridor, for which he had begged. Hit Absence Noted. It was not until the breakfast hour that hln absence was noted by Turnkey, Ham Roberta. Sheriff SSteen notified the police und Marshal Inischt 1 of Cambridge City, an it was thought that IanU might return to his father's home at Milton. The sheriff and his deputy, Oscar Mote, made a March of the river bottoms, pawn shops and other places in tho city where It was thought lants might make for. Pawn brokers were all notified not to do business with any men desiring loans on watches until after notifying the authorities. Sheriff Kteen was much worried over the escape. It Is the sixth one since he took the office, but the first one for which he takes the blame, and he does not accept ali blame even in this case, because, he said, he felt sorry for lnntz. who is mentally unbalanced, and had made It possible for him to have privileges not accorded regular Inmates because of his weak mental condition. Tho sheriff had given Lantz the privilege of sleeping in the unoccupied women's ward, which also Allowed him the privilege of walkiug about the lower corridor ami not mixing with the regular Inmates. Iantz had been In the habit of getting up about ! o'clock and awaiting breakfast by bitting In the corridor. Today, catching sight of the keys In the jail yard entrance, lintz, when the turnkey was not watching, quickly took advantage of the opportunity. He left without his overcoat or other belongings, including a considerable wardrobe, which his relatives at Milton hail sent him at the jail. It was found after his disappearance that he had changed his soiled underwear. NEW ENGLAND M. E.

KOHLSAAT IN A SENSATION
(American News Service) Springfield, 111.. April 5. H. H. Kohlsaat testified before the senate Investigation committee today that Charles H. Funk of the International Harvester company was the man who told him that a pool of a hundred thousand dollars was raised to elect lorimer to the senate. His testimony was like a bombshell. Kohlsaat took the stand under threat of being sent to Jail for contempt of court if he refused to divulge the information. Mr. Funk testified confirming Kohlsaat's testimony, adding that Edward S. Hines, the millionaire lumber man told him of the fund raised to further Lorimor's election, and solicited his assistance in raising the funds to reimburse the original contributors. Funk understood that Kdward Tilden, president of the National Packing company, would receive his contribution. Funk refused to contribute. Cyrus 11. McCoimick was mentioned as having been told by Funk regarding the Hines demands. McCormick was ready to take the stand. The political world here was turned upside down by the testimony today. An executive session was held after the testimony, during which Kohlsaat was relieved of all contempt. BRING INJLD LAW County Officials Get Surprising Information. My a ruling of the state board of accounts all deputy township and county assessors must pay 25 cents as a fee to the county for the privilege of serving in the capacity for which they were sworn in and that all county auditors who have not been collecting these fees, whether this year or not, will be charged up with the sums by the field examiners of the state board. The law on which this ruling was based was passed a half century ago, but so far as Wayne county officials know, it has been among the "dead ones" for many years. Those who had ever known of Its existence, thought it was in the discard. The fees have not been collected by Wayne county auditors for over twenty years, although Auditor Demas Coe announced Wednesday he would collect the fees for this year. It is probable that there are hundreds of dollars due the county because of officials' unfamiliarity with the law. It is doubtful, since it has been a custom so long not to tax these fees against deputy assessors, if the unpaid fees are collectable, either from the county officials or the deputy assessors who have served in years gone by.

RENDER All OPINION
Regarding Jobbers' Liquor License Fees. Opinions were received Wednesday from Indianapolis by County Auditor Dcmas Coe relative to the collection of fees in issuance of liquor licenses to wholesale and manufacturing liquor houses and also in regard to charging a fee ior approving bonds to be filed by saloon keepers who get into the business by having an old license transferred to them. In the former instance wholesalers or manufacturers who wish to do a wagon delivery business of from one to five gallous per customer, are required to pay into the county treasury $t for having a wholesaler's or manufacturer's license issued to them. This is the same fee exacted from holders of retail licenses for the same purpose. No fee is charged manufacturers or wholesalers for approving a bond, as they are not required to file bond with the county officials, inasmuch as they have to give a state bond. However for approving bonds of retajl dealers, the statutes provide the county shall receive $1 for approving the same. This will be charged against the saloonists who go into business by having a license transferred to them. 20,000,000 MEN DIED IN NAPOLEONIC WARS San Francisco, April 3. Baron d'Estournellcs de Constant, the French missionary in the cause of international peace, who is making a tour of the country, spoke here taking as his text "The Campaign in Russia." The Baron said, in part : "General ignorance has been singularly useful to governments in concealing the consequences of their wars from the eyes of public opinion. "For a long time I have been endeavoring in vain to find out what the wars during the revolution and the first empire cost France in men, exclusive of anything else. The figures vary from 2,000,000 to 5,000,000. Taking only the minimum and multiplying it by several generations. I find that France's population has been reduced by 20,000,000 in tho course of a century. But for these wars we should now, in all probability have a population of BO.OuO.OOO inhabitants instead of 40,000,000, who would, moreover, be physically stronger, inasmuch as without attempting to calculate the consequences of drink, which has a close connection with the matter these wars eliminated the men best fitted to perpetuate their kind." FIND THE HEATING PLANT A POOR ONE The county commissioners inspected the Home for Friendless Wednesday, finding the heating plant in a bad state of repairs, the walls needing redecorating and several other minor improvements which probably will be ordered, excepting the repairs to the heating plant, which will be made as soon as the weather moderates so that fire is no longer needed.

DR. EARL S. SLOAN,
CHAMP CLARK IS FOR RECIPROCITY
So Are Democrats, Says New Speaker Fight Starts in the House on Rules. American News Service) Washington. April 5. Speaker Clark today denied that he had intentionally omitted reference to the Canadian reciprocity in outlining the Democratic program yesterday. "I have been for Canadian reciprocity for some years. ! don't know when Taft became converted, but when he sent his reciprocity bill to the house, all the Democrats except five voted for it, and he could not pass it through) a Republican house. Democrats are for reciprocity, but I could not mention everything in a five minute speech. It is a political trick when any one attempts to make capital out of the fact that I did not refer to reciprocity, which the Democrats have favored since 104." The second day of the Sixty-second congress opened with a wrangle over the rules to be adopted by the newhouse, which developed into a filibus ter, led by Mann, the minority leader. After routine business had been transacted. Rep. Henry, chairman of the new rules committee, sent to tho desk a special rule providing that new rules of the house should be the order of the day and that a four hours' debate should be had upon them, and that the Republicans should have the privilege of offering a substitute for the Democratic rules. Rep. Norris of Nebraska, a leading insurgent, was on his feet immediately, ' I want to know if we will not have a chance to offer amendments?" asked Norris. "We present these rules as a party measure and will allow your party to present a substitute for them," replied Henry. Norris declared this would be entirely satisfactory and indicated that the changes desired by the insurgents might be included in the substitution. Henry is now the Democratic steam roller man. Representative Mann stepped into the breach and with a suggestion that a forty minute debate he had before the Henry resolution was adopted, inaugurated a filibuster. The debate on rules themselves, it was expected, would occupy the entire session. There was also received from the President and Secretary of the navy information called for in the Lafollette resolution, agreed to in February, relating to the construction of battleships for the Argentine navy in this country. At 12:18 the senate went into executive session, and adjourned at 12:25 until tomorrow at noon. WRECK AT ELKHART KILLS ENGINEER (American News Service) Elkhart, Ind., April 5.

WANT TRACKS If! MIDDLE OF ROAD T. H., I. & E. Asks to Amend National Road Improvement Contract.
Request was made Wednesday to the board of county commissioners by representatives of the Terre Haute, Indianapolis and Eastern Traction company to amend the provisions of the contract between Frank Cronin and Wayne township for the improvement of the National road west from West Fifth street to the Center-Wayne township boundary line. The company wants its tracks in the middle of the road. The commissioners have taken no action. Inasmuch as farmers who are in the habit of driving on the highway make serious objection and a change in the original plans at this late hour would increase the cost of the improvement by at least $2,500, it is likely that the board will turn the proposition down. Farmers who are in the habit of driving horses which are more or less timid when seeing an approaching interurban, which in the country run at high rates of speed, are particularly anxious not to have to share any more of the road with the company. The company's proposition is that the contract with Frank Cronin be amended permitting it to lay its track in the center of the highway from West Fifth street to Easthaven avenue instead of from West Fifth street to the west corporation line of the city. Also instead of placing their track outside of the south curb line from Easthaven avenue to the WayneCenter township boundary line that they put the tracks within the curb line. The reasons given for desiring to place their tracks in the center of the highway as far as Easthaven avenue were that some day this would be done and the company might as well save this expense by providing for the inevitable now. It was claimed that Richmond's west boundary line would some day be Easthaven avenue, and a city ordinance compels the street car company to place its tracks in the center of the highway.

ATTEMPTS A FORD AND WAS DROWNED
Tragic Fate Met bv Preble! County Farmer Wife Witnessed Tragedy. r.iium. v.. .-prii ,. rair.ng 10 need the voice of his wife, w u implored him to cross the stream by a bridge only a s-liort distance below, Alonxo Arthur, 1!7. Tuesday morning att empted to ford Twin Creek at a point about three miles south of Lewishurg and was swept to his death under the surging waters. The wife, alarmed for tiie safety of her husband, believing that he would attempt to ford the stream, follow c J him from the house and was on the banks of the stream when the tragedy occurred. Arthur was riding in a covered spring wagon and driving a small horse. The broad sides of the vehicle were caught instantly upon entering the stream, and it was overturned. The horse was released from the harness and swam to the shore, but Arthur went down in the wagon. The too and the sides of the wagon are believed to have imprisoned him and prevented any etfort in saviiig himself. The high waters turned the wagon over and over and Arthur's body was finally thrown out. The alarm for help given by Arthur's wife was answered by three duck hunters, who happened to be proceeding along the stream. Hut on the arrival of the men, the time for assistance had passed. The news of the tragedy soon spread, and in a short time a number of neighbors and others were on the scene. A close watch was made along the stream the remainder of the day for the body of Arthur, but this proved futile, and late today it hud not been recovered. The point at whie'.i Arthur lost his life is know n as the old Eli Ozias ford and is near the farm known by thr.t name, but later owned by Joseph Mattis, who died a few weeks ago. Besides the grief-crazed wife, he is survived by two small daughters, aged about 3 and 5 years. Appropriate. Hiy do they call your new dog Aviator?" "Because he's a Skye terrier."
