WAYNE COUNTY MAN TAKEN AFTER EFFORT TO ESCAPE PRISON JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind., May 9 Oh'e guard was killed, one prisoner

probably fatally wounded and another prieonos-- slightly wounded in a desperate aUejp.pt of six ; inmates ot Indiana. state reformatory, here to break prison kl& Sunday night ".' ' Following' the break of the six, a ."battle, in which many shots, were fired ' by both side3, ensued between the sextet and guards for an hour and a half before two of the prisoners were shot down and the four others captured by guards. John H. Grimm, 50 years old, In-

diana state reformatory guard, was '""shot through head by mutineers with

own revolver, and killed. Herrick McCarty, 23 years old, sen tenced April 1, 1919, from Delaware

c county to one to fourteen years for " forgery; shot in back; probably will

die. Fred Mullett, 21 years old, sentenced 'May 27. 1920, from Randolph " " county from two to fourteen years for rape, was wounded. Nick Harraker, 19, sentenced from Putnam county in January, 1920, to two to five years for escaping from "' ihe reformatory. Will Lopinskay, 17, " sentenced from Elkhart county from "' three to fifteen years; William Den- " ton,' 19. sentenced Oct. 5, 1920, from ',' Huntington County, for grand larceny. " and Christian Knitte, 20, sentenced . April 28, 1919. from Wayne county for forgery, were captured by guards. Trusty is Alert. Failure of the plot of the six to escape was due to presence of mind of Harry Goldman, trusty, on duty in a cage leading to one of the prison entrances. Goldman, covered, made a move to unbar the door before him, but, in

stead, dodged swiftly out of range of;

, the guns, and spread the alarm that ; : resulted in frustration of the most ' 4aring plot at, escape made at Jeffereonville in years. J Mutiny of the six prisoners evidently was the culmination of a carefully ; i hatched plot, conceived after the sextet hadbeen refused hearings before the pardons board recently. Tbe- Christian Knitte named in press dispatches as having aided in the attempted jail delivery at JeffersonviUe is not recorded on city ', or county "Officials' books. A Clifton Knipp of Cambridge City . was sent to Jeffersonville from this county on April 26 on a charge of forgery. He was 18 years old wheh"sentenced; wnich would make him the same age as the main ha rued as Knitte. Clifton Knopp pleaded guilty to forg?y'Tft-W'ayar: circuit :;court on Aprjr"2Sn919. 'According to the evi denee produced at that time he drew a check for $20 In favor of Henry McFarland. signed by Van Crawford. This was drawn on the Farmers Bank of Milton and was cashed at the First .National bank of Cambridge City.

NICHOLSON DISCUSSES PROHIBITION RESULTS S. E. Nicholson gave an address Sunday night at the Second Presbyterian church on the "Social and Economic Results of Prohibition." He spoke first of the significance of the subject to Mother's Day, and said there were fully a million mothers in; America that were happier because of the coming of prohibition. He presented a mass of detailed information showing the benefits of prohibition during the "past two years although as yet prohibition has only been partially enforced. He cited the fact that returns from 59 of the largest cities in the country showed total arrests for all causes in 1920 of 109,768 as against 316.842 arrests in the same cities in 1917. Figures were quoted showing the beneficial results of prohibition in Indiana, and business men in Richmond were said now very largely to be against a return of ihe saloon. Mr. Nicholson charged a great laxity ot law enforcement in this city, and said responsibility for it lay at the door of the officials. He said the time had come when the good citizens of the city should get together and demand the enforcement of prohibition. "Stop the bringing in of liquor from Hamilton and other places," Mr. Nicholson said. "If officers will not do the duty, citizens should take steps to supplant them by others who will enforce the law impartially." The speaker called attention to the new prohibition enforcement bill in'ttOduced;in congress recently by Mr. Voi,8j.ead." 'This measure would proibji'he, use of. heer aa medicine and rovid,fcfime-other restrictions, the -4iece9sTtyfo"f 'which has grown out of the operations of the original Vol- . stead enforcement law.

Williams, county superintendent of schools, in answering a charge made by opponents that he bad hampered county agent work and prevented the hiring of an agent "I believed, however, that the initiative should come from the farmers and that we should not hire an agent before the farmers wanted him. "As soon as the farmers showed the desire, I called the board together and we hired an agent. If I had been actually opposed, I could have refrained from calling the board meeting and no action toward the hiring of an agent could have been taken. "I have always voted for an agent whenever the question came up, but the townships and their trustees would not consent until four years ago. At that time I called in Isaac Wilson, A. L. Baldwin, Everett Hunt, and other representative farmers ot the county, and told them that we were ready to hire an agent whenever the farmers wanted one. The first agent was hired immediately afterwards." Cites Former Efforts Mr. Williams said he has exerted 6trong efforts in behalf of the present agent, and it is due solely to his influence that Wayne county still has the services of an agricultural agent. "There is a strong movement in the courthouse," said Mr. Williams, "for the removal of the agent, and I have had a hard time to defeat it." Asked about agricultural instruction in the school courses, Williams replied: "I have advocated agricultural instruction in the schools, and, in fact, there is instruction in the seventh and eighth grades, as required by law. I have advocated agricultural instruction in the high schools also, but the schools which have had such instruction have asked for a change back to , manual training instruction." j "I have tried to put Smith-Hughes i men in the high schools also," said ' Mr. Williams, "but the townships do not want them. The only thing that . is possible in agricultural instruction ! in high schools with their present at-; titude, is to put in regular under high school teachers." courses Short News of City Return from Convention Mr. and Mrs. William H. Rindt have returned from West Baden, where Mr. Rindt attended the National Wholesale Jew-: elers' convention as a delegate. i Grace Church Society The Worn! an's Home Missionary society of the ' Grace M.
