NTESIAYS | ESCAPED BANDII Fumtive Killed by One of the - Six Men He Freed. From Prison.: Bymlm LITTLE CK. Ark., Decemiber 10. —The’ last escape of Tom Slaughter, noted bandit, with a record of nearly & score of breaks for. freedom. from southwestern jaila and prisons, led to his death in theé Saline county hills at the hands of one ‘of the convicts he liberated. according to the story on which 'Sherift J. J. Crowe's posses early today were baaing their lureh, for mngmer- body. The posses were awaiting dlyll(htl -early today to start-on the trail of the seven convicts, starting from th peint- where . they abandoned their - bullet-riddled llll.omabfle lnd fled lnfio the woods. - b J. C. Howard, who surrendered with . four bthers of the six who accepted Slaughter's offer of freedom, told of- ficials he shot Slaughter In the back and had Intended td" shoot Him from the moment the party made . their escape. . The note Howard says he left -in the ' prison bearing the same &tate- ment could not be found. early today. Beside the body of Slaughter, ac< cording to Howard's statement, lay a dying negro, wounded in a brush with the authorities of Benton, who were watching for the fleeing prisoners, How Slaughter Escaped. Slaughter's plan for escape began to take form yesterday evening, when, feigning illness, he sumioned a guard and asked for a blanket. The guard entered the death cell, where Slaugh- ter was to be quartered until Decem- ‘ber 16, the date set for his electroc: tion, and advanced to the desperad cot. He was met with a gun in the bandit’s hands. The guard was dis- armed, and then taken to the war- den’s office, where three other guards were disarmed while Slaughter used a guard for protectian. He then locked the guards in a cell. Continuing to the hospital ward, Slaughter forced a nurse to lead him to the warden’s home. He made the warden and his family return to the prison, locking them in the death celi and the one adjoining. Leaving the prison, Slaughter and his compahions took an automobile, and the tires from another nearb: and escaped, after attiring themselves in_civilian clothing. Posses from Hot Springs, Little Rock, Benton and nearby towns took up the chase after the gun fight at Benton, finally forcing the bandit and his party into the woods of Salina county, where Slaughter was report- ed killed. A number of prisoners, including si: negroes who were sentencéd in_con. nection with the Elaine rigts, refused to accompany Slaughter in his escape. Howard a Former Trusty. Prison authorities today were en- deavoring to trace the source of the pistol which gave Slaughter the chance to effect hig six-hour domina- tion of the penitentiary, disarm guards, lock the warden and his fam- ily in the death cell, secure civilian attire and an automobile for the escape and offer freedom to all the convicts who wished to join him. Howard, the man who slew Slaugh- ter, is twenty-five years old. He was received at the penitentiary last March to serve three years for for- | W Shortly after Howard was melved at the prison he was made & trusty and assigned to the commissary. Some time however, when goods taken from the commissary were be- lieved to have been stolen by him, his status as trusty was revoked. Prison authorities sald that his record w not a good one.

By the Associated Press. ~HONOLULU, T. H., November § (by mail).—The decision of Prince Jonah {Kuhio (Cupid) Kalanianaole against being a candidate again for the po- sition of Hawalian delegate to Con- gress, after twenty years' consecutive serviee, will bring to an end—in 80 far as mainland activities are con- cerned—a career unique in the annals of American politics. Prince of the royal blood of Hawail, educated abroad, attendant at the na tive monarchs’ court, a political pris- oner for one year following the at- tempt to regain the throne for Queen Liliuokalani after the republic of HX- wali had been declared, and delegate | P islands to Congress for ten [ from successive terms, the genial prince, who has long been a picturesque fig- |1 plre at Washington, has decided t forsake the glamor of life at the Na: tional Capital, “in order that 1 ma; best serve my own people,” by serv. ing on the Hawailan homea commis jon, established by Congress in an ort to rehabllitate the dying Ha- ailan race. Life Full of Roma: The life of the prince has been re- plete with incidents that breathe of the romance that tinges the shores ot his_native isles. He was born in 1872 at Kapaa, Island of Kaual. His father the High Chiet David Kahale- pouli Piikol, a descendant of the King of Kauai, the last of the independent monarchs to be overcome by Kame- hameha the Great, who consolidated the inslands into the Kingdom of Ha- wall ‘became its first ruler. Prince Kuhfo's mother was the Princess Kinoiki Kehaulike, sister of Queen Kaplolani, the consort of King Kala-| 3 kaua. Kuhio's elder brother was the Prince David Kawananakoa, who died in San Francisco in 1908. Kuhio and his brother were broug%t up in the court of King Kalakaua, the “merry monarch” of Hawall. Kuhio | o0 attended school here and at St. Mat- thew's College San Later he was a student at-the Royal Agricultural School in England, and also took & course at a business col- lege in tbe United States. Later he spent a year in Japan as M the guest of the Japanese govern- ment. King Kalakaua was credited with a mre( desire thay Kuhio might marry a princess of Japan, which would strengthen the sition of the Hawalian monarch. 'he desire, if held, came to naught, however. Engaged While in Prison. - While in prison he was secretly en- gaged to Elizabeth Kakanu Kalei- wohi-Kasuwal, the present princess, who visited him in prison every day and brought him fobd. About a year after his release, they were married and toured the world for two years. Now, with his twenty years of serv- first Hawalian up homesteds in accordance With the rehabilitation act, the prince is living qm.fly with the princess in his home the site of Qllcen Liliuokalani’s !o r beach castle, by the sea at wnml, with ths ocean surf booming against the shore, scarcely ten yards from m- ‘windows.

A recent report of the board of children’s guardians, which cares for the Districts dependent children who are without suitable homes and who must be supported at public expenu.‘ stated that fifty of its wards were suffering from tuberculosis. These children cannot safely be placed in toarding homes with normal children. States and cities having children's atoria are usually unable to ac- c’ll patients from outside their own borderl. as they frequently have a waliting list of their own. Stresses Need of Sanatorium. In 1918 the Washington Tubercu- losis Association, in its annual report, of the need of a children’s sanatorium, said: “Even better than ia day school for this class of children would be a sanatorium where the beneflts of rest, special feeding and ir treatment, with medical at- tenfl& and nursing service. might be furnighed twenty-four hours a day seven days & week, instead of five hours five days a weék, as at Dreu- ent. Much of the perspective gain ob- tained at the tuberculosis schools is sacrificed on account of the intermit- tent character of the treatment af- forded, and frequently such gain as is may be lost during vacations or because of home conditions.” CAPITAL NEEDS GROW.

AS RIVAL OF MOTOR Association Claims -Greater Economy on Haul Within Animal’s Work Radius. CHICAGO, December 10.—Data com- piled by the Horse Association of America indicates that there are more than 19,000,000 horses and mules in the United States, 17,000,000 of which are on farms and more than 2,000,000 in cities, according to the annual re- port of Wayne Dinsmore, secretary of the association, made here before the annual meeting of the assotiation recently. In speaking of the value of horses and mules as compared with automo- bile trucks, Mr. Dinsmore said: “As a result of studies, other sur- veys made and definite. statements with cost figures furnished to us by firms who own and use 51,927 head of horses, we are now in a position to working radius- tance team can travel in a day— horses furnish more economical serv- ice than motorized equipment. Store and Home Delivery. “On local delivery work, from storc to store or house to house, the evi dence is overwhelmingly for horse- drawn _equipment. Ice compani coal companies, bakeries, milk con panies and all others whose business involves frequent stops and delivery work, agree emphatically with the great packing companies whose ver- dict is, ‘On all hauls under twenty miles per day the horse is most eco- nomical. In _speaking of horses in the cities, Mr. Dinsmore said: “Qur investigations in cities during the past year show that competition will force all cities to develop abundant terminals and team tracks. and this factor will inevitably lesll to increased horse use. Bostol many wharves and team track: hu very few hauls that are not under two miles for the round trip, and Boston moves her enormous ship- ments of wool. leather, fi table: Seventy-five per cent chfindlsu is horse-drawn and she e joys the distinction of having the best lot of horses, on the average, of any city in America.” Helps Every Section. In showing how the development of the horse helps every section of the country, the report said: “The Georgia farmer who buys a team of mules pays over money Which finds its way into the pocket of a Nebraska farmer, who. in turn, buys clothes made from the cotton raised Both profit Nebraska cannot produce cotton, and it is more profitable for Georgia to raise cotton than to rear mules. “Faulty road_building in Pennsyl- vania has reduced the prices of horses in Colorado, for hard-surfaced roadways, without side roads for farm teams, have forced farmers ad- jacent to such highways to keep their teams off the public roads because of danger of injur. | Every Book of New and Popular | FICTION Save Money, and RENT The Book You Want— ‘When You Want It The only library in the world giving prompt service of new titles.
