They fled in the darkness of an early morning snowstorm. Saw Nothing Wrong Warden Thomas said he believed the men got the key to the tunnel door from a plumber inmate of the prison. He blamed the guards for their failure to observe the escape during their rounds through the tiers but TIsaacs, who made the rounds at about the time the men were believed to have effected their release, said he made his customary inspections and failed to notice any- thing wrong. The men alternated on their in- spections of the cells and an alarm system showed the rounds had been made punctually. POLISH CATHOLIC SOCIETIES GROW Oijniczak Reports Progress for Organization in America Several hundred members of the ocal lodges of the Polish Roman “atholic Union of America attended a meeting last night in the audi- {torium of the Sacred Heart school on Gold strect where they were ad- dressed by John Olejniczak.

In recent years it has made rapid strides in inereasing its wmembership and capital, and is run- ing a close sccond to the Polish ational Alliance, the largest Polish ve | organization in the world.

That the endorsement of Mayor Paonessa’s move to oust salacious magazines irom New Britain news- stands will be voted by members of the Lions club next Tuesday is gen- erally believed vy n.embers of :ne club, although there was some op- position to any further activity in this connection yesterday. The proposition that the club en- dorse the mayor's action was sub- mitted to a vote yesterday by Presi- dent George A. Quigley. An aye and nay vote indicated a division of sentiment. Before Mr. Quigley called for a rising vote or announced a de- cision, L. W. Vogel spoke on his re- actions to the movement, stating that he had been embarrassed by comments he heard on the strect. Mr. Vogel proposed a motion of apology to the library for remarks concerning that institution by Harry Hancock. Remarks were made by several other members, when W, C. yFrench announced that he felt a | speaker was entitled to 30 minutes and proposed a motion that “the iwhole matter be laid on the table until next Tuesday.” The vote was passed, tabling both motions.
