Mounts Wall And Flees From St. Elizabeth’s Deprived of Cork Limbs He Used as Flails, Cripple Escapes to Harrisburg, Pa.~Captured Later by Police. After a legless journey, which took him over the high wall around St. Elizabeth’'s Hosapital for the Insane, through the streets of Washington and up to Harrisburg, Pa., a man, who 1s known only as “Christ Lazarul the name he gave himself, wa: ‘brought back to Washington yesterday. The patient, a man about eixty, came along with his cork legs to Washington to see the Prosident in lorder to gét protection from peaple who, he sald, were following and p secuting him. “He was referred to the authorities at St. Elizabeth’s Hospital, who assured him that he would get ample protection at that ‘Institution. Shortly after his arrival, two menths ago. the patient suddenly took & bel- Ll.( rent attitude toward his fellow ok e gave vent to aking off his cork “beating up” the other patlents. vigorous did he become in his leg. activities” that those in charge at the hospital decided to relieve him of his legs and place him in a wheel chalr. Everything went well, and the offi; cials at the hospital were delighted at the results, until about ten days ago the man wheeled himself to the wall surrounding the _institu- tion, pulled himself to the top, and with the aid of a man working out- ide on the gas mains managed to reach the pavement. He h"fi" a ride downtown in the autompbile of 2. passerby, and when he reached the city he begged enough money on the streets to purchase a railroad ticket to Harrisburg, Pa., where, ‘sz‘ he started in the street begging iness again. He did not last long until the police of that city sent him back t¢ Washington.

Acting as pinch-hitter for the scheduled speaker that failed to ma- terfalize, the correspondent prefaced his impromptu address on world events by saying he felt like Jack Dempsey when the fighter was called upon for | a few words at a banquet glven him {in London by the late Lord North- cliffe. “The place was crowded with the cream of London's sporting world,” said Mr, Wile. “Lord Northcliffe and others had welcomed the American pugilist with elzborate addresses, and ally it came time for the mighty k to respond. Slowly rising, with the red showing back of his ears, Dempsey floundered about for a min- ute, grabbed at the air several times and then said: “Gentiemen, public speaking ain't in my line. But being a fighter, 1 fecl it a duty to do my best, and on behalf of my profession lemme say, I can lick any man in this room.” ! Aud at last a comprehensive report on just how California republicans regard President Coolidge and his succession to the presidency has drifted in through Representative George P. Darrow of the seventh Philadelphia _district, who but re- cently returned from a two-month éruise to Haiti, the Panama canal House committee on naval affairs, and | who is gtopping for a few ddys at the Hotel Haleigh. > “Aftef landing I made it my par- ticular business to interview public officials, prominent business men and those of standing in every city, town and hamlet I visited, and the uni- versal opinion out there is that Mr. Coolidge is a/safe, szne and evenly balanced executive, m splendid type of American and_the right man in the right place. Chairman Crocker of the republican national committee from that state was most enthusiastic over the President, and said the country was lucky to have had such a man to step into the shoes of the late Presi- dent,” was the gist of a lengthy state- ment given by the Pennsylvanian Mr. Darrow was greatly satisfled with the voyage of the committee, which was taken on the naval trans- port Shawmont for the purpose of in- vestigating and studying needs of the naval situation on the Pacific coast, a5 suggested in the twenty-five-year naval program drafted by the Navy Department. “It was one of the most thorough investigations of an exceedingly im- portant controversal subject = ever made, I believe,” man.’ “At times, besides members of the committee, Admiral Koontz, of the American fleet; Admiral Gregory of the bureau of docks and yards, and representatives from the bureau of aboard.

The engineer gave the writer an interesting explanation of the causes of the earth's disturbances, stressing the formation of “faults,’ measure- ment of “throws.” etc,, and said that the throw In the recent Japanese catastrophe must have been far greater than that which caused such havoc in San Francisco. “A clean performance” Was the terse but expressive phrase used by Hale Holden of Chicago, president of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy rail- road, when asked in the New Willard Hotel how the carriers had measured up during the past year. “Never in the histotry of Amerlaan railroads has' such a prosperous year been experienced,” ficial, as he dictated a telegram. “Es- pecially is this true since last April, when the $1.500,000,000 budget went into effect. The distribution of this vast sum, which has been almost en- tirely utilized, has been one of the main factors in the present prosperity of the country. The peak of all hauling was reached Quring the last week in August, when more than 1,100,000 loaded cars were moved, the greatest number in his- tory. There were also weeks in July and August when the million mark ~was touched. From present indi tions this unprecedented business will ; continue through the fall, and there is every reason to believe that next year's hauling will be greater than th “ %Ot course,” continued Mr. Holden, “the roads have had an exceptional ear in the matter of disturbances their progress. - There | the relations between carriers and shippers are growing more friendly each day, and never has there been such co-opera- tion between the two and the labor groups as now. Throughout the country’ meetings of shippers and road owners are being held and the more the two come together the bet- ter is their understanding of each other's difficulties. It is really won- derful.” . Mr. Holden explained that the ex- penditure of more than $450,000,000 on permanent way, improvement of signal terminal and track facilities had alded greatly to the present prosperous _situation. “Naturally,” sald he, “the spending of such amounts will lessen dividends tem- porarily, but the Increased business later will repay security holders a hundredfold. “You see, our program stimulates road building, erection of homes, hotels, etc., and thereby makes work for thousands in labor. It is one of the prime factors in golving the coun- try's economical problem. it was learned further that the percentage of bad order equipment of the roads of the country Was at its lowest mark at present, that there is no car shortage and that a substan- tlal surplus is being realized Mr. Holden called on President Cool. 1dge, but said that all he talked about was the age-long rivalry that had al- ways existed between his alma mater, that retard | Base ball park, Sep Petworth Auxiliary R chuckled the of- !
