The cells can be locked or unlocked from the outside of the cage, and the corridor in question runs in front of the cells, forming part of the steel cage, which includes all. . Since tho escape made a short time aco tho jailer has been ordered to be certain that all the men were in their cells and locked in before he opened tho door leading into the cor ridor. Wednesday evening Jailer John Dungnn entered the jail to re move the supper dishes and ordered the men- imprisoned in their c"ells.

I iilNHAND 1STRUSTAND CnURCH Investigation This Winter Will Bring Out Sensational Facts Involv ing Sugar Trust and Mormons. TOGETHER THEY CONTROL 65 PER CENT OF BEET SUGAR Minutes of Corporation for Past Seven Years Now in Hands of Government. CLEVELAND. O., Nov. 26. A Washington dispatch to the Cleveland Press today cays: "Tho Mormon church and tho sug ar trust have been for several years In partnership, and thoy together con? trol 65 per cent of the beet sugar In dustry in tho United States-. The above facta will bo proved at an in vestigation to be made by congress during the coming winter, by the production of the minutes of the sug ar trust's directors' meetings cover in ga period of seven years. Tho minutes were secured through a for mer director of the trust and tho doc uments are now in a vault in Wash ington. D. C. They will be produced when needed. It is unnecessary to say that tho inside view of the sugar trust's operations,, furnished by s, the stenographic notes of the board's do ings will expose the operations of this Industrial trust In a way which may legitimately be called sensational. "Hero are sorap of the things which it will do: Brings In Smoot. "It will show why Senator AldrJch turned over to Senator Smoot of Utah the management of the sugar schedules on the floor of tho United States senate last winter when tho tariff act was under consideration. "It will show how Aldrich has act ed as representative of tho sugar trust in tho United States senate. It will show tho sugar trust's connection wifTi tlm snnnosed lobbyists for Vi 'Amerlcau beet sugar growers,' nam ly, Charles B. Warren. F. It. Hatht way, Henry T. Oxnard and tho cci tidentlal relationship of tho latter tt Senator Burrows of Michigan. "It will show that now beet sugar factories havo been started during the past five years only with and upon the approval of the sugar trust. "It will show tho connection of va rious prominent financiers anad poll tlclans with the criminal operations by which the customs sorvlce has been cheated, secret rebntes secured,, competition suppressed and the anti trust law violated. "It will show what was done by tho sugar trust In a vain effort to head off the Investigation started by Pres ident Roosevelt when he appointed Special Agent Parro and by Collector T.oeb. AMrlch In It, Too. "It will show conclusively that Aid rich has been the political sponsor as, well as tho business partner of tho suear trust for years, These nre'a fow things which nro at tho disposal of any committee who may deslro to, Honestly investigate tlio corrupt ae tlvltles of tho sugar trust. Thoy aro not tho only things, but thoy will serve to Illustrate. It has been charg ed that President Taft mado a bar gain with tho sugar trust In regard to tho tariff legislation and with tho purposo to secure the sugar trust's support for his election, that Aldrich was tho agent through whom th" agreement finally was mndo and the Luke Wright, former governor gen eral of tho Philippines, took part ir tho negotiations Is another matter suro to bo brought up- Accordlng,to tho evidence Inland, Taft agreed that the sugar trust should have the same : protection in ine now taritt act mat it onjoyou unuer tho Dingloy -jajfd.
