By the Assoclated Pre FRANKFORT, Ky., Twelve prisoners, thres of whom were held on Federal charges, escaped from the Franklin County jail here at 4:30 am. by forcing open an iron-barred October and sliding down a -line of blankets which had been tied together. The delivery, carefully timed and executed, occurred during the brief in- terval in which the warden, Steven ‘Toppas, had left his office to go to his home, less than 50 yards away, to awake his_son. Shortly after it was discovered, emergency calls were forwarded to all nearby points, but two hours later no trace of the prisoners had been found. The prisoners figuring in the delivery ar Arthur Sills and Pat Brookhart, both of Chicago, held by Federal author- itles on a charge of violating the motor vehicle transportation act. Lee Sellers, serving a three-year sentence for robbery of a post office Horace McKee of Olive Hill, Ky. Will Chapman, Barney Richard of Le: and Zeb Stephens, convicted of violat- ing the prohibition law and serving sentences of six months. Sam Baxter of Franklin County, held for investigation in theft of automobile parts. John Johnson of Woodlake, charged with breach of the peace. Identity of two other prisoners who 5—| door, burrowing through a brick wall | ington, Wiley Henderson of Olive Hill| figured in delivery had not been es- tablished at 7 am. Sixty-eight other prisoners, a ma- jority recently convicted in Federal Court, did not avail themselves of an opportunity to escape with the others, but after the last man had slid down the blankets to safety gave alarm. An investigation of the jail soon after the warden returned revealed that the priscners, who were in one compart- ment, had forced open a heavily barred door by sheer strength. From the main cell the prisoners made their way through the death cell on the second floor and there, by use of tools which they apparently carried | with them, dug a hole through the brick wall. From this point the prisoners fastened the improvised blanket rope and dropped safely to the ground. No one apparently saw the prisoners after they left the jail.

Addresses on diseases and methods of treating them from the viewpoint of the osteopaths featured a session this morn- ing of the ninth annual convention of the Middle Atlantic States Osteopathic Association in the Hotel Washington, Dr. Ira W.

Other speakers at the morning session were Dr. John Martin Hiss of Columbus, Ohio, who spoke on “Care and Treal ment of the Feet.” Tr. R. A. Bagle of Richmend, Va., member of the staff, Terrace Springs Sanitarium, read a paper on “Case Reports.” Dr. Ernest E. Tucker of New York and Dr. Francis A. Finnerty of Mont- clair, N. J., are scheduled to speak this afternoon.

A revaluation of the property of the Capital Traction Co., now regarded in public utility circles as one of the last remaining moves to forestall a probable increase in street car fares, may be undertaken by the Public Utilities Com- mission, it was indicated today at the District Building. A valuation would take more than a year to complete and would keep exist- ing car fares in check for that period, it was pointed out, unless the company in the meantime went direct to the courts with a plea for financial relief on the ground that the present rate of return on its existing valuation con- | stitutes confiscation of property. | since the commission’s refusal to dis- miss the petition on the ground urged by People’s Council Ralph B. Fleharty— that the company is not in a poverty- stricken condition—the commission now. it was said, likely will either be forced to grant the increase or to make a new valuation. The commission, under paragraph 9 of the act creating it, is given authority to make a new valuation on its own initiative at any time. But there is some fear on the part of the commission, it was intimated, that a revaluation would result in an increase over the present value fixed by the commission and thereby pave the way for the company to demand n till higher fare than it now asks. This is the primary reason, it was said, why the commission has been somewhat hesitant in taking this action. Moreover, it W id, a new valuation would cost more than $100,000, which the car company would be re- quired to pay, and which would ulti- mately be borne by car riders in the form of higher fare. However, William A. Roberts, vice chairman of the public utilities com- mittee of the Federation of Citizens' Associations, who has tiken a leading part in the fight to prevent a fare in- crease, i-sued a statement today de- claring ‘hat the commission is legally {bound to make a new valuation with each rais - inquiry. Roberts also ap- pealed to the commission to suspend its decision on the fare case until after Congress passes on the merger agree- ment. ‘The commission does not plan to give any further consideration to the case until Monday, when it will proceed, it announced, to consider it upon the record. “In presenting my argument before the Public Utilities Commission in op- i position to any increase in the rate of fare,” Roberts said, “T did not reply for dismissal of the proceedings brought by the Capital Traction Co. upon the tech- nical objection that the company’s prin- cipal contention was for revenue support to pay dividends. Instead I placed squarely an issue of the question of val- uation which I have repeatedly insisted is the crux of the whole matter. “The law Is specific that concurrent with each rate inquiry there must be a new and current valuation of the prop- erty of the utility. I stated at the hear- | ing and now reiterate that the Public Utilities Commission should suspend its decision until after Congress passes on the proposed merger, for justifiable rea- sons of public policy, and further that it should decline to modify the rate of fare until a proper valuation, based on | legal principles, is completed for both companies.” A |
