Speaking last night at Warrenton on “The Making of the Constitution,” Newton Brooke, the fifth of six speakers, told the entire story of the framing of the Constitution from the calling of the convention at Philadelphia to the redrafting of the Articles of Confedera- tion, through the final stages of the assembly at which the document was signed. He talked for 5 minutes, 32 seconds. Miss Neale, the second honors winner, was the third orator to take the stage last night. She spoke on “The Con- stitution: A Challenge to Citizenship.” ‘The main challenge of the Constitution, she contended, lay in the demands which the instrument makes upon the people governed by it for their active participation in its l'-ponllhlllllel duties and benefits. She spoke for 5 minutes, 50 seconds. The first of the Fauquier County orators to be heard was Hazel E. Poe of the Hume High School, who spoke | on “The Origins of the Jury and the Constitution.” She showed how many | of the features of American jurispru- dence was taken from the English by | !.hl American Government founders. She spoke for 4 minutes, 56 seconds. Micha Nicholas Kadick of the Mar-| shall High School was the next con- testant and discussed “The Oonstitu- tion and the Present Orisis” In his oration he cited difficulties in trying and conviction for income tax evasion of Al Capone, Chicago ter and beer baron, as evidence of the peril to which the Constitution is subjected. Although Capone was known as & power in the criminal world, Kadick declared that the Government agents who compiled the evidence against him, | Re, sought not to learn how much crime he committed, but merely “how much profit he made.” Kadick spoke for 4 minutes, 38 seconds. Miss Neale was next and then Loulse Kinney of the Upperville High School took the stage. Kinney was al- ternate to Lucy Alfreda Sisk, who was unable to compete, and spoke on “John Marshall and the Constitution.” She resented much historical data to {llus- te Marshall's contributions to the framing and subsequent launching of the Constitution. She spoke for § minutes, 36 seconds. *Constitution Origins” Topic. ‘The Warrenton High School contest- ant was next and then the final speak- er, Samuel Read, of the Calverton High School took the stage. He spoke on “Origins of the Constitution.” Read was still talking when the whistle blew after 6 minutes. W. H. Thomas, superintendent of Fauquier County schools, was chair- man of the Warrenton meeting. his introductory, Mr, Thomas pointed out that the National Oratorical Con- test had had an influence for the good in the schools of his county by inspir- ing students generally to greater study efforts and to the organization of pub- lic speaking groups, the activities of which materially promoted ascholarly | bor pursuits in the schools. ‘The judges of last night's meeting were Allison R. Williams, Gordon Dun- thorne and Mary Dunthorne. FOUR ESCAP.E PRISON ON IMPROVISED ROPE By the Assoclated Press. PITTSBURGH, April 27 80 feet to the ground from the roof of ‘Western Penitentiary on an improvised rope, John Maug, leader of the notorious “Maug gang,” and three other convicts broke jail early todsy. They have not been apprehended.

Prince was sel from 15 to 30 years for highway robbery. He escaped from police in Columbus, Ohio, in 1919, | but the automobile theft charge against him there was dropped for lack of witnesses, Geisler was serving 20 to 40 years for robbery. Pittsburgh police telephoned to Cleve- land, as Maug and his confederates are known to have had former hang-outs in that ecity. Rewards of $150. on each of the four escaped convicts were announced by Western Penitentiary suthorities short- ly after the escape. S e ae said he n bers to surrender without lnxght or gunplay if friends furnished firearms. “The gang is smart, and I doubt that any member would hesitate to shoot,” | he mld “I do not believe they sought cover city, but headéd out of town ald from outside se- complices.” THE EVENING STAR, W FRED CUTTING.
