BUDE OF SING SING ~ MAKES HIS ESCAPE New York, July 25.—Three automo- bile searching parties—one headed by an alumnus and another by an active member the Mutual yesterday of League—spent, Welfare afternoon racing ‘over the hills of Westchester County hunting for Ernest Le Ford, his kéepers Early ‘this morning the cy ders of the automobiles were still hot and Le Ford was still at liberty Le Ford is known as “the dude of Sing Sing.” He has served parts of four terms im prison but between sen- tences has found time to play socicty, rand its jewer: for all it and to act as Mrs. Alfred G. Vander- bilt's chauffeur. * Despite his prison garb, there has always been an un- disguised air of jauntiness about him. True to his reputation as a Beau Brummel, when he left Sing Sing yes- terday to work with a score of fe low prisoners on the highway near Mount Kisco, Le Ford wore natty tan shoes, silk hose and a silk shirt be- neath his rough convict's jumper. “Some make-up for road work,” another inmate called to him. “All T have,” Le Ford laughed back. Toward noon, Le Ford fell ill—des perately ill. He confided his misfo tune to Officer Way, in charge of the road workers, who suggested that he sit on a stone at the roadside to re- cuperate. Le Ford accepted the sug gestion gratefully. When, five minutes later, W glanced casually over his shoulder, h saw that the stone was still visible, but that Le Ford was not. He had quietly slipped away into a worll where persons don’t poke fun at silk shirts and natty tan shoes. ews of the escape was flashe Warden Osborne by ’'phone. ‘T Tony” Marino, who once escaped from Sing Sing, but returned to give him- self up, chanced to he at the prison. He volunteered to head one searching party, and was placed in command of an automobile loaded with prison guards. George Hodson, a “trustie” and re- fpected member of the Mutual Wel- fare League, commanded a second motorear party. Deputy Warden Spencer Miller took charge of a third. |One by one the automobiles -vent chugging through the outer gates of the prison at twilight, each with many clews, but none with “Sing Sing's dude.

With but three- weels of tHe fiscal year remaining. the selectmen and other town officials who have a part in expending the taxpayers’ contribu- tions to the treasury are Making prep- arations to close their accounts. While the figures have not heen tabulated, different officials rather indicate that the ‘hyginess of. the town has been handled during in economical faghion and unless there, are some - extraordinary expenses during the next three weeks, the revenue from taxatibn will prob- ably prove sufficient to pay the bills. Increasing the rate of taxation has proven a success during the past few years and the town is now getting into a condition where its financial standing is a most gratifying improve- ment. The move makes it possible for the men chosen to fill the various offices to spend a little money for needed improvements without feeling that they are pushing the town far- ther into debt. Although the selectmen have taken good care of the highways and have made some badly needed improve- ments in different sections of the town it is not thought that the road expenses will he above mormal The other departinents, with the exception of the schools, which of necessity cost more to maintain each vear, are pected to figure approximately same as last year, the little made in one being offset by crease elsewhere. Selectman Johnson proposes to close his hooks on time this year, abon- doning the custom of keeping the account open for a week or two in the hope that certain bills due the town will be paid in time to get them credited on the selectmen’s report. This year, no matter what conditions exist, it is the plan to start another fiscal year immediately after the old one closes. This id will meet with | general approval as the old method was far from businesslike and caused the auditors considerable annovance besides making interpretation of the annual reports difficult for the vote the savir an in- very Return Home Soon.
