1K wA Awmltln trial ior forgery ftxrd wi
.nt In aver'al cities.
UoT?lng n Investigation conducted by
Cihlf of Detectives William fechregler. It
a learned that tho murderers, after
Heaping from th jail fled to eth street,
tjtenea to Cooper and" then turned In to
Ambler aired. They stopped momentarily1
,a front ot Ihe house at 208 Ambler street
to fet their bearings. Here they were seen
fcy sister of Elliabeth Dunbar, whom Ash
Wlcifft murdered.
SKe fled to the rear of the hddse and told
ft. relative that Ashbridge had escaped.
On her return to the door both meri had dis
appeared. It has been learned that no automobile
figured -In the escape. The police believe
that the men reached the ferry and came to
Mils city.
The escape 'was well planned. After the
'hooting- In the Jail the murderers locked
the door on the outside, walked coolly past
R policeman stationed at the door, and fled
fat the direction of the railroad.
Ashbrldgo was not separated from the
other prlsonern as such men Usually are.
He was a model prisoner nnd Indicated by
his demeanor that he had determined to
Walt and meet his fate. Ho was allowed
last night In the large exercise cage with
other prisoners. All the cells opened Into
this cage. The prisoners were marching
back to their cells and Hlbbs wns standing
outside the locked cage door when Ash
bridge approached the door of the cage and
called Hlbbs In his usually friendly tone.
THE MUnDERER'S TRICK. .
"I have something here I want to give
you," he said. The turnkey thought It was
a letter to mall. Ho opened the door. Ash
bridge pulled a small package from his
ehlrt The paper covering It fell to the
floor, revealing n gleaming revolver. Hlbbs
gasped In amazement and prisoners peered
from the doors of tin cell In half terror.
Before tho turnkey could recover from
bis surprise, Ashbridge swore at htm and
told htm to throw up his hands. But tho
turnkey was game. His hand went to his
back pocket. Just then Thompson came
rushing in. "Shoot I Shoot quick I" ho
commanded. Ashbrldgo didn't seem to havo
the nerve to pull the trigger. Thompson
putted the revolver from his hand and
shot Hlbbs In tho chest and stomach. In
the scuffle that followed the turnkey man
aged to get his revolver out. He was about
to raise It when a shot pierced his heart
And he fell dead nt the feet of the two
jail breakers.
Murmurs rose along tho corridors, nnd
the prisoners rattled tho celt doors In ter
ror. Some of them denounced tho two men
for shooting down the turnkey.
Like two highwaymen Ashbrldgo nnd
Thompson ran along the corridor.
"Wo'll kill the first man who shouts,"
they said. The murmurs gradually faded
away. The prisoners knew that they would
keep their word.
SEARCH FOR KEVS.
They searched the clothing of the dead
turnkey hurriedly, but failed to find the
keys of the outside door. They concluded
that these keys were carried by Ellis, the
other turnkey. .Ho was In the Jailors' room,
atlng his supper.
Thompson approached this room cau
tiously with a revolver In his hand nnd
opened the door. The turnkey's back was
toward him. Ho had received many favors
from Ellis. He faltered- considerably. But
tho rattling of tho cell doors resumed and
again there rose the murmurs of tho
prisoners.
The turnkey Jumped up. Ashbrldgo
pulled the revolver from Thompson's hand
and shot Ellis three times. One shot en
tered his stomach. Ho called feebly' for
help as he. fell to tho floor. Tho din of tho
prisoners Incrensed and the jallbrcakers
fired several shots to quiet them.
The two desperate men then' took tho
keys from Ellis, opened the door and en
tered the public corridor. They locked the
door after them. This undoubtedly pro
Vented a Jail delivery.
Very quietly Ashbrldge and Thompson
passed down a winding stairway and were
not recognized by any of tho court omclals.
This Is the third escape of prisoners from
the Camden jail. Seven years ago 'William
Brown, awaiting trial for forgery, broke
Jail, and was afterward captured In New
Tork. He Is now serving a term In prison
at Auburn. X. Y., and upon completing sen
tence there wilt be returned to Camden.
Another prisoner got away many years
ago and was never recaptured.
SherlfC Joshua Haines Is greatly embar
rassed over the tragedy. He tried the plan
of treating the prisoners kindly. "This Is
ay reward," ho said.
Albert Hlbbs. a son of the murdered
turnkey, was killed about six years ago
by a negro.

CHEER SOLDIERS'
'WIDOWS' AT HOME,
GENERAL PLEADS
Philadelphians Can Make
Men Happy by Comfort
ing Families
PRICE'S WORD 0 CITY
By CARL L. ZEISBERG
Evcnlna Ix&atr Staff Correspondent
EIj PASO. Tex., July 18. -Adopt the
"war widows." (Jive- tho soldiers' children
a "big sister."
This was the message of General Price
to the people of Philadelphia today In re
sponse to numerous Inquiries as to what aid
could bo rendered tho troops hero on the
border. The vork of the noncombntnnts
lies not here, but In Phllrdelphla, the gen
eral declared. He was most emphatic In
his statement.
The prbposltlon of General Price briefly
may bo summed up as follows:
"Tho soldier, with every material want
provided for, craves cheerful letters from
his home, and this home must bo made
cheerful by the cltlzon3 of Philadelphia In
order to produce cheerful letters. More Im
portant than the little luxuries which will
ing hands provide, more Important than
food Itself, are these letters.
"A wonderful opportunity for patrlotlo
service lies before those nt homo who havo
tho menns to command," said General Price.
"I ennot emphaslzo too strongly In what
direction this opportunity lies. It Is not
games and little nicknnc'ts and coddling that
we need. We huvo food, plenty of It, and
of the very best quality. Our health Is
bounding. Thcro Is scarcely a man In nil
this army who has not been Improved In
his physical condition by this life and this
cllmato. We want for nothing in a mate
rial way. We could whip our weight In
wildcats If wo knew that all wbb well at
home.
NOT CHARITY. DUTY
"Dut, unfortunately, many of our men
left at homo wives nnd children dependent
upon their earnings. Happiness left theso
homes when the soldier-husband left. Lone
liness and. In all too many cases, actual
want has entered these homes, and from
theso homes come discouraging letters from
tired wives. It takes tho starch out of a
soldier to hear of misery In his family."
Here, declared General Price. Is the op
portunity for Philadelphia tb helD her soldier-sons.
The proposed campaign Is to take
happiness Into tho homes of those dependent
and partly dependent on tho meagre earn
ings of soldiers on the border. The plan ho
outlined included the apportionment of "war
widows" among the visiting lists of wealthy
women and thoso wno really wish to por
form a service, who would pay regular vis
Its to tho homes which a private's plttanco
cannot maintain.
Littlo gifts and automobile rides nnd
a big picnic on some country estate, with
distinctive souvenir badges for the children
of soldiers, were suggested by General Price
to cheer the wife In her lonely home and In
turn tho soldier In his tent.
"The badge would bo n badge of honor
for the child, more significant than that of
the Sons of Revolution," said General Price.
"It would put pride In tho henrt of a father
to know that his child had been singled out
because of his sorvlce to his country. And
It would put now life Into an anxious father
to recelvo a wholesomo letter from his wife
telling of a visit paid by Mrs. So-nnd-Bo,
who left a pretty new crib for the baby who
Is to como In August. Ho would be a fair
match for a drovo of wild elephants."
Tho campaign, the General pointed out,
would not be one of charity, but of patriotic
sen-Ice, .of duty. It must bo undertaken In
a friendly spirit that recognizes the supreme
sacrifice which the soldiers' wives nre mak
ing for their country, he said.
"Plain common senso tells one that visits
nnil irlffQ unrlpr thpsn (MreumHtnnei.R nrn not
charity. People of great wealth and people I
In all walks of llfo exchange presents
among themselves. These presents should
be extended to the women whose husbands
havo given up their Incomes, because the
donors realize that these women are doing
a service which Is not given every woman
to render."
IT'S PAYDAY.
Tho mirage of payday, which became an
actuality for tho lBt Regiment yesterday,
Is floating before the other regiments. To
morrow a bespectacled man at Fort Bliss
will come down from the hill and pay tho
2d and 3d Regiments, they say.
Private Howard Berry, of Company C.
1st Regiment, the monarch of all Penn ath
letes, has decided to add to his collection
of athletic trophies the 50 cents which he
received yesterday as his one day's earn
ings as a soldier. The pay was for tho
period ending June 30, and Berry was mus
tered In June 29.
A line of trenches, dug by Mexicans,
gradually is approaching Camp Stewart, tho
new homo of tho Pennsylvania division.
The Mexicans are not hostile, but are re
ceiving $1 25 a day for laying the water
pipe lines. The approach of water to tho
burning plain Is being hailed with delight
by the cavalry and the 3d Brigade, which
already are encamped there, hauling water
In tank wagons and bathing In buckets.
It's alt a huge Joke for the Pennsylvanlans
out there on the dusty Alamogordo road
They bet on how many Inches of pipe the
Mexicans will lay In an hour. The speed
record Is held by a gang of eight Mexicans,
who laid two sections of pipe In eight hours.
BUY BURRO FOR 32.50.
The cavalry, which Is the largest regi
ment in United States service, with 1200
troopers. Is In fine physical condition. Only
seven men were today on tho sick list, and
their cases were trivial with one exception,
a slight case of measles In Company K.
Old Van Stable Head Is Dead

flesh In this part of the country, died yes

and Lehigh avenue, from paralysis of the
heart. He was 7C years old.
Man Badly Durned in Explosion

North 8th street. Is in a serious condition
In the Roosevelt Hospital, terribly burned
about the hands, body, neck and face, as
the result of the explosion of a carboy

PIERRE SPENT MONEY
LIKE WATER, BROTHER
A. I. DU PONT DECLARED
Witness in Powder Suit at Wil
mington Tells How Head of
Company Viewed
Partner
TREASURER ON STAND
WILMINGTON. Del., July IS. At tho
opening of thu du Pont powder hearing
in United States District Court today,
John J. Itaskob, treasurer of tho company,
testified on redirect examination, when
asked as to tho attitude of Alfred I. du
Pont toward Incrcaso of wages mado by
the company, that du Pont lion satd to an
cmployo thnt "Plcrro was In a frantic fight
over a strike of tome carpenters nnd was
spending money like wntcr."
Asked about the credit of $5,600,000 from
tho Morgan Company, Itaskob said ho had
looked up tho records yesterday nfternoon
and ascertained how tho money had been
checked out In depositories. Five of tho
banks participating In tho tjun received
none of the money, while Homo of It went
to banks In Chicago and Boston. This, he
said, was a snmplo of the manner In which
this Job nlwnys was done. The list of banks
which took part In tho distribution and tho
checks were next offered In evidence.
Mr. Itaskob Identified the minutes of the
Flnanco Committee meeting of February
8, 1915, when it was decided to amortlzo
the J12.000.000 spent In extraordinary con
struction duo to military contracts at tho
rato of $1,000,000 a month, as well as the
$3,200,000 spent on tho International Smoke
less Powder and Chemical Company.
John G. Johnson cross-examined Raskob
about the distribution of tho Morgan credit.
Counsel becamed engaged In a squabble
over tho Morgan balance, Johnson claiming
it was excessive and George S Graham thnt
It was not. Graham asked Itaskob If any
limit had becri placed on bank balances, and
he said none had been.
Henry F. du Pont was called and asked
his reasons for voting, as a director, ugain&t
tho nurchase of Coleman du Pont' stock.
Ho said ho did not sanction "the company
buying Its own stock nnd thought tho money
could be put to bettor use In extending
plants and generally taking caro of tho
contracts on .hand. He wns not then Inter
ested In the du Pont Securities Company,
which he did not enter until moro than a
month later.
Mr. Johnson wanted to know if Raskob
was Influenced In his opposition to purchase
by the company by Judge Laffey'a opinion
that the company could purchase the stock
only to tho extent of its surplus. He said
ho wns, "In a measure."
Ircneo du Pont, brother of Pierre, tho
president, wub asked the reason for tho
directors meeting of March 6, 1916. Ho
said It was to discuss the proposition to buy
the Coleman du Pont stock from the securi
ties company, and to determine whether
the president had tho confldenco of tho
board. He voted against the purchase, his
strongest reason being that tho company
should not speculnto In its own stock.
R. R. M. Carpenter, a director, testified
ho participated In the negotiations for the
purchase of tho stock nnd In the formation
of the securities company. He voted against
tho proposition of the purchase of the stock
by the du Pont Company, believing It would
be unbusinesslike for the company to buy
such largo blocks of Its own otock for it
self.
Judge Laffey. legal counsel for the du
Pont Powder Company told of advising tho
directors that tho. company could not pur
chase stock in excess of Its surplus funds
without Impairing Its capital. The opinion
was given off-hand, but later he gave It full
consideration and confirmed It, informing
Plerro du Pont.
On cross-examination Judge Laffey told
of receiving 500 shares of the purchased
stock. It was given on condition that he
remain with the company another year,
although he said he then had no Intention
of leaving. Tho shares were given him by
the du Pont Securities Company. Mr. John
son asked him If he was familiar with tho
company's charter and he said he was.
"And you gave the advice about the pur
chase of the stock being familiar with the
charter?" asked Mr. Johnson.
"I did." replied tho witness.
"That's all," rejoined Mr. Johnson.

DENT MUST SERVE TIME
Judge Staake Declines to Fix Minimum
for Burglar in Eastern Penitentiary
Judge Staake, In Quarter Sessions Court
today, refused tp order the release of
Samuel Dent, a burglar, now serving sen
tence In tho Eastern Penitentiary. Dent's
relase was asked for because of an error
In the sentence pronounced by tha Cum
berland County Court. In which the man
was convicted. Dent was sentenced under
the "Third Offense Act." since repealed by
an act passed two years later.
It was contended for Dent that the sen
tence would have specified a minimum as
well as a maximum sentence of 30 years.
Tho Commonwealth conceded that the
crimes for which Dent was convicted wero
committed in September, 1309, and that
he should have been sentenced under the
act of May of that year, which provides
for a maximum and minimum sentence,
the latter of which not to exceed one
fourth of the former.
Dent has not served teh minimum sen
tence, which, In his case, should have been
eeven years. Judge Staake ruled that
whatever error was made should be cor
rected by the Cumberland County Court
by resentencing, as pointed out by the'
Superior Court In other cases. The Court's
opinion was very exhaustive.

WILL RENEW EFFORTS
Uv o 8talJ Correspondent
WASHINGTON, July 18. When Senator
Boles Penrose, of Pennsylvania, today pro
posed to havo a volumo of tho Bethlehem
Steel Company's nrguments ngalnst tho es
tablishment of n Government armor-plato
factory printed ns n public document at
tho expense of the United States Senntor
James A. Reed, of Missouri, objected.
Senator Penrose asked that tho bulky
document bo referred to tho Scnnto Print
ing Committee and that It bo printed It tho
committee desired It. Senator Reed ob
jected to that section, und as ft result Sen
ntor I'onroso withdrew his rcrjucst tem
porarily, giving notlco of his Intention to
bring It up again later.
"I have no doubt," said Senator Reed,
"thnt tho Bethlehem Steel Company would
llko to have Its br printed nt Federal
expense and circulated free under Govern
ment frank.
CHARGES ROBBERY.
"If tho Bethlehem Steel Company wants
It printed, let It print it out of tho profits
It has mado from selling nrmor to tho Gov
ernment during the last 2D years. Tho
company now offers to sell armor to tho
Government nt a price lower than It has
ever sold It. yet claims tho price of every
thing that goes Into It is the highest In
history a plain, bald confession that It
has been despoiling nnd robbing tho Gov
ernment for 29 years."
Sonator Pcnroso reminded Senator Reed
that his objection could not block him from
getting tho Bethlehem Steel Company litera
ture Into tho Congressional Record.
"I can read this Into tho record If I no
deslro," ho nald.
"Unquestionably the Senator can read It,"
ngrced the Missourlan. "So can the Sen
ator read any other ndvcrtlsemcnt that ho
sees fit I hardly think tho Senator will
Imposo this on the Senate. If so, wo may
havo to havo a night session."
"I nm .tho best Judge of my own
propriety," said Senator Penrose. "This
Is not an advertisement, nnd I intend to
bring it up n littlo later,"
Senator Taggart. of Indiana, made a
speech In which he asked Senator Swan
son, of Virginia, who Is In chargo of the
navnl bill, whether tho Government could
mako armor plate cheaper than tho private
plants now In operation.
"Wo can mako It at a lower price than we
ever havo been ablo to buy It." s'ald Sen
ntor Swanson. "I don't know what tho
armor plate manufacturers are willing to
pay now to keep the Government out of
tho business."
Senator Taggart called attention to the
repeated offers of the private steel manu
facturers to make armor at a price fixed
by the Federal Trade commission, and
said that In view of that offer It seemed
to him a wasto of money to appropriate
$11,000,000 for a Government plant.
Senator Oliver gave notice of his Inten
tion to offer an amendment to strike out
that section of tha bill which calls for
tho appropriation.

I HUNTING OF SHARKS
OFFERS TAME SPORT
AT ATLANTIC CITY
"Man-Eaters" Have Not Been
Seen Near the Famous
Boardwalk of
Resort
VISITORS NOT ALARMED
ATLANTIC CITT, July 18. Hunting
sharks from an aeroplane does not seem
to appeal to Atlantic City sportsmen, be
cause of the smalt promise of roal sport In
results so for attained. Potting, from nloft,
tho little fellows that sun themselves on
tho surface Is a tame pastime, not likely to
bocomo popular.
No largo sharks or "man-eaters" havo
been Been off this beach nnd the owners of
neroplanes find more profit In showing the
adventurous spirits the beauties of view
from the air than In going on hunting ex
peditions when no game Is In sight.
Tho "shark scare" has not seriously nf
fected this resort, for tho simple reason thnt
the visitors rcfuso to tnko It seriously.
Sharks even the big fellows nre known
to bo cowardly and aro frightened away
by any unusual commotion In tho water.
No one who hns seen the Atlantic City
beach and surf at tho bathing hour would
havo any fear of tho Intrusion of sharks.
In addition, the constant beach patrol
and presence of gunrd boats beyond tho lino
of breakers makes tho unannounced
approach of a shark virtually Impossible.
Tho beach Is the most popular part of
this city at tho present time, most of the
visiting population putting In all of their
morning hours nnd part of tho afternoons
on tho snnds. A few peoplo go fishing In
tho mornings, arising at hours that they
aro unaccustomed to at their homes. Others
tako a sail on tho bounding waves. A
small proportion sit for hours In the Bonrd
walk pavilions, but tho masses flock to tho
ocean's edge Immediately nftor the break
fast hour and linger thero ufitll the last
call for tho midday meal. Many of tho
younger visitors don n bathing BUlt nt nn
early hour and remain on tho beach for
threo or four hours, but actually consume
only about 20 minutes for their bath In tho
ocean. The rest of tho tlmo Is spent In
strolling, gossiping and taking sand baths.
Children's carnivals aro now In full swing
nnd tho kiddles are having tho time of their
lives nt theso dancing jubilees, nnd doting
mothers aro made happy when their off
spring aro allowed to pose as semlstars In
the elaborate numbers put on. TheBe affairs
attract large crowds.
Many of tho cottngo residents own yachts,
craft that aro luxurloua In appointments
nnd many of them of tho speediest kind.
While many of theso boats could show a
clean pair of hcclo to competitors In a race,
but few of tho owners hero enter them In
races. They aro mostly used for tho pur
poso of entertaining friends, many parties
being mado up dally for trips to sea or
through tho numerous bayn which nro near
here. Fishing trips on boats, which aro
hooked up with many devices for passing
the tlmo pleasantly when tho fish aro not
biting, aro always enjoyable. Some of tho
larger yachts, which are provided with elec
tric lights, are frequently seen off shore
at night, with a merry party aboard, en
joying a dance or dainty luncheon far out
at sea.
Tho dipping of automobile wheels In the
Atlantic Ocean preparatory to a trip across
tho continent, which was originated hero
last year, has startod again. Many of tho
people who start off on ono of theso trips
novor reach their goal, with a backing Into
the waters of the Pacific as a climax to
tho trip, but they make a good start at
least. Today a man and his wife, who won
a small auto, nro to start on one of theso
trips, and their dip Into tho water will ho
eagerly watched by many bathers, who will
Immediately proceed to forget all about It.
