In connection With the Lecpold phase, investigators revealed today that two kmves have been missing the - prison shoe shop, where d was in charge of giving out {and collecting them. One of these was found at Streator after a gun fight with five of the convicts, and efforts will be made to determine how it was taken from the shop. It also was recalled that Leopold was in solitary confinement near the cell of Charles Duschowski, leader of the plot, who is still at liberty. All of his companions, excepting James V.

Three hundred alleged beer runners, gang. sters and gunmen are being sought as_witnesses.

L believe it a national conviction and the national conscience that the principle of our protective tariff—as far as the principle can be practically applied, difficult as it is—is that the measure of that protectlon shall be the difference between wage scales and lving standards of our own workers and those whose cheaper ef- forts may seek to undermine our own. I find few leaders of industry in America. who would not be willing to rest thelr commercfal success in re- taining home markets and those abroad on the qualities of resource- fulness and enterprise alone, without protective tariff, just as soon as the world’s wage sciles and living stand- ards approach our own. So that halt- ingly und imperfect as the applica- tion of the principle may be, there is an underlying fair principle in ou protective tariff which we may well argue the world to preserve in its own interest.’” Englishman Explains Crisis.

Proposuls of the Washington Rapid Transit Co. to establish a terminal for its bus routes at Sixteenth and Ken- nedy streets met with strenuous op- position from members of the Six- teenth Street Highlands Citizens’ As- night in lution were adopted unanimously pr testing against any plan for using park space for .a bus ter- as brought out that a large sec- tion of park area would be utilized for the enterprise if permitted by the Commissioners. Traffic at this point is already very heavy, it was sald, three thoroughfares coming into Six: teenth street near this point—Ken- nedy place, Kennedy street and Mor- row drive. With the busses making the loop there, it would create a bad situation, it was sald. Because the group of cedar trees at the corner of Sixteenth street and Morrow drive obstructs the sidewalk and prevents o clear view for the protection of automobilists, it was voted to urge the Commissioners to remove the trees and widen Morrow drive to make way for a straight thoroughfare connecting with Ken- nedy street and leading into Rock Creek I'ark. Provision for the drain- age of surface water at this cor ner also 18 sought. It was sald that for a week or more after each hard rain a pool of water settles there and becomes stagnant. Characterizing the intersection at Fourteenth street and Colorado ave- nue as one of the most dangerous in the city, resolutions adopted request that an automatic semaphore be placed there for the direction of traf- fic. It was pointed out that{a number of deaths and serious accidents have occurred at this corner and some measure of relief is desired. The assoclation voted to suspend meetings until October, or until the president deems it advisable to call a meeting. In _the absence of Presi- dent John D. Rhodes, Dr. Lewis J.

Y., May 11.—Rain- drenched, hungry and wretchedly cold, Lilllan McDowell, the “Cat-eye Annie” of numerous spectacular jewel thefts, who escaped from Auburn Prison early yesterday, was recap- tured at daylight one mile northeast of Weedsport. She was tound in an open fleld, partly hidden in a pile of weeds and brush, which she had collected to pro- tect her from the cold and rain. Still clad in her prison uniform of blue and white gingham, she appeared to have suffered greatly from exposure during her 24-hour flight. She said she walk. ed to Weedsport yesterday, 8 miies, e e this tiernoon atithia| ko o AR chsllenpee. o : s afl a | A farmer living near the spot where she was found saw her leave the road and go into the flelds last night, and notified the prison authorities. It was the oplnion of the guards that their prisoner was glad to be re- captured. The prospect of dry cloth- ing, warmth and something to eat ap- peared to interest her more !hm‘ any- thing else on the trip back to prison, “Cat-Eye Annie” made no state- ment upon her return to prison. She declined to discuss her methods of escape or her experiences since she slipped over the walls yesterday morning. She had no weapon or money on her person when taken. 700 MINERS WALK OUT.

Rallroads Are Willing. “The railroads are ready to do their full share in meeting the imminent problems with which we are faced. They are rveady to co-operate with Federal or State regulating bodies, with highway authorities, with the motor car industry and with the United States Chamber of Commerce and with all associations interested in these public problems for a speedy and permanent solution of these diffi- culties.” “Installment selling was charac- terized as the strategy of bitter war- fare with the spirit of jazz economics by O.
