The shorter you make a thing the easier It I; to under stand. Bear this In mind when you're telephoning. Let your facts be as bare as possible. Remember that the party at the other end Is probably In a warm booth and neither your wit nor English will alleviate matters If tjio air Is heavy. The word "please" sounds pretty good on such occa sions and has a- tendency to throw a dash fit sunshine among disagreeable clouds of the day. It Is well to be a member of the "please" society. Its aim Is to show that courtesy and kindness are not yet dead, despite the fact that the world Is munitions mad. When the thermometer rises hold yourself In check. You'll never know it's hot until some one tells you.

The President went to the Capitol and for more than an hour Issued his orders to the .Senate Democrats. He made it plain that he was prepared to make a definite fight for action on the child labor measure, even to the point of forcing a serious break with the powerful group of Southern Demo cratic Senators, headed by Senator Smith; of South Carolina, who are bitterly opposed to the bill. Senators Kern, Owen, Williams, Martin, Simmons, James anT"aHughes and Vice President Marshall were among those sum moned to the. President's: presence during his stay at the Capitol. They were notified that the president, for various reasons, con siders the passage of the child labor meas ure of paramount Importance. The leaders at once, cleared the decks for a fight to Pass the bill, and as a, first; step they sought to placate the opposition Sen ators. Their early efforts met with little success, and It was apparent that the Pres ident was confronted with the most sertou test of bis leadership that has w for marked his Administration. lly Kvcnlnc IxjclBer Stall I'hotoir-aphcr.

Ashbrldge, who had fled with him. The murderer was subdued after a strug glo In his room on tho third floor. Ho was facing a mirror when Detectives Padgett nnd Robinson burst In the door, Ashbrldge reached for his revolver as he turned. Bo fore he could pull the trigger the detectives pinioned him to the floor. Mrs. Ashbrldge uas about to nld her husband when Deteo tlvcs Hunt and Schragle, of Camden, ar rived and overpowered the woman. "GUKSS IT'S ALL UP." "I guess It's all up," said Ashbrldge as he sank In a chair. "I guess It Is," said Hunt Mrs. Ashbrldge, according to the police, confessed that Bhe helped her husband and Thompson to break Jail. Ashbrldge waived extradition and with the "woman -was bundlcd Into an automobile and whtaked off tt the Pennsylvania Railroad station. They were taken Immediately to tliii ofllce of Prorecutor Kraft and later locked ia tho Camden County Jail. Edward Fry, proprietor of the Keystone Hotel, said the couple reached his place about 10 o'clock this morning. He noticed that they were tracl-stalncd and nervous. HOTCLMAX REPORTS. Fry nsslgned them to a room on the third floor. Ha noticed also that Ashbrldge an swered.ti description of one of the men who broke Jail In Camden. Ho quietly Informed the Chester police and, after dispatching tho two detectives to the scene, the chief of po lice at Chester notified Prosecutor Kraft. An immense crowd followed the auto mobile which carried the pair to the rail road station. There was also a big throne at the county Jail when Ashbrldge was brought there In heavy Irons. The police believe that Thompson Is still In Chester and expect to arrest him this afternoon. Ashbrldge wan caught two hours after the reward was offered. The women who visited Ashbrldge and Thompson in the jail yesterday have been eliminated from the case. They proved to be workers of the Camden Rescue Mission Society and their visit to the murderera was part of their regular work. Recently, the police say, Mrs. Ashbrldge and her husband became reconciled and she called frequently to see htm. It Is believed he told her he was sorry for his past deeds and looked to the time that he could return to her and their two children. Ashbrldge was known as a "ladles' iroan" and had the knack. It Is said, of arousing the sympathy of those whom he met. Mrs. ABhbrldge lived near 26th and Fed eral streets, but moved yesterday aftejr drawing money from bank. Another feature of the case to which the police are giving much consideration is the discovery that Ashbrldge sent a letter to a Mrs. Shelton in Baltimore last Sunday Ac cording to State Detective Walter S. Le Tourneau he gave this letter to Howard Marshall, of X762 South 6th street. Cam den, with the request that t be mailed Immediately, Just what connection thUi woman has with the life of Ashbrldge la ft matter of conjecture. ' BALTIMORE POLICE NOTIFIED. The police of Baltimore have been notifies and will endeavor to locate her There is also a. probability that a former . prisoner, who visited Ashbrldge and Thomp son last Thursday, may be able to throw some light on the case. A vigorous search Is being made for him. Thompson, who was a man of superior education. Is believed to havo beeq the master mind In plotting the escape. He was formerly an attorney and was dis barred. It is said, for questionable methods.
