(Associated Press Leased Wire.) SALEM. Ore., Aug. 1 3. With nothing seen, heard nor indicated as to the exact whereabouts of Tom Murray, Ellsworth Kelly and James Willos, convicts who succeeded in making their escape from the Oregon state penitentiary here last night nfter killing two guards and wounding another, since 8 o'clock last evening when they deserted the taxicab they had command eered and disappeared into the marshy lands near Pratum. eight miles east of here, the manhunt this afternoon had settled down to a waiting game. Some of the possemen, craving excitement, were getting restless and were drifting back to their homes, allowing some or der to shape itself in the conduct of the search which through out the night and morning was more or less a) haphazard and demoralized affair. Just before noon newspaper reports from the section where the search is going on estimated that between 150 and 200 armed men were participating in parties of from three or four up to twenty, most of them operating independently and with no general supervision. Warden Dalrymple had five men headed by Wright Gar ner, prison guard and experienced woodsman, on the ground operating under the direction of his office. George L. Cleaver, former state prohibition commissioner, and four men were conducting still another campaign. Added to all of these innumerable groups of farmers and other volunteers, seeking excitement, were wandering here and there, but no clews were reported. About 10 o'clock this morning. Deputy Warden Lilly left for the scene of the hunt to see if some more effective or ganization could not be affected that would coordinate the ef forts of all and try to eliminate some of the volunteers.

Other police armed with saw-ed-off shotguns, were guarding all the roads leading into Port land from the south. Those who were on all night were re lieved early today. WITH STATE POSSE NEAR SILVERTON. Ore.. Aug. ' 3. Three men believed to be the fugitives from the peniten tiary were1 reported to have been seen to vanish into the brush at a point between Silverton and Pratum at 10:30 today. A posse investigated, but did not find the men. Deputies from the sheriff's office in Portland were in the posse. They are accompanied by W. E. Gardner, a guard who was with Guard Holman when he was slain last night. This group today is working out the Scotts Mills and Mt. Angel dis tricts. Belief that the bandits mav double bark in tUm n;L, from the densely timbered Waldo Hills has been expressed by officials. This is thought likely because Tom Murray, leader of the desperadoes, has always made his way to Portland after previous crimes, as ne considers his chances for escape best in Portland with its numerous railway outlets.

Fur ther differences between railroads over construction projected in Central Oregon, were developed before the Interstate commerce commission today, when tho Ore gon Trunk railroad tentatively assume a hostile position to the plan of the Central Pacific to build 40 miles of line from Kla math Falls, Oregon, to Cornell, California. The Oregon Trunk declared Its own proposal to 'extend a rail road from Uend, Oregon, to Kla math Falls, would be affected by the Central Pacific's plan. The Oregon Trunk desires to Investigate and determine whe ther a line of railroad extending southeasterly from Klamath Falls through the territory referred to in the application herein and con tinuing to connect with existing lines in California would he Justi fied, the declaration said. "It helieies that the applicant, (the Central Pacific) should not be given permission to build a forty mile extension from Kla math Falls southeasterly If the granting of the application would adversely affect the consideration of a future application for the right to Imlld another line of railroad southeasterly from Kla math Falls.

Miss Daphne Hughes, 15-vear-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Washing ton Hughea of this city. In four matches, taken in straight seta, won the Southern Oregon open championship for women. In the tournament held In Ashland. Miss Hughea played a wonderful game, and defeated older and more ex perienced players with little dlffl-' ctillv, defeating the city champions of Medford, Ashland and tirants Pass. She returned to Roseburg last night undefeated In eight seta. It waa her expectation to remain over today to play 1n the mixed doubles with Royd Bruton nf thia city aa a pardner, but Mr. Bruton was Injured while participating In the senior singles, and was unable to continue In the tournament. M'lss Hughes' first match was Dlnved with Mildred Beeaon, Med- ford's crack lady player. Mls Beeson was defeated 6-1 and 6-8 by the Roseburg girl, who had little difficulty In outguessing and out playing her opwonent. n the second round of the eltm- - Inallon Mlsa Hughes was matched with Kathleen Pratt, of Ashland, who was defeated 7-S and 9-7. The hardest match In which the local girl contested was the seml final, played against Helen I)elt rich, city and high school cham nlnn of Ashland. Miss Deltrlrh hns a cnnnonball serve which gave Mlsa II unties considerable difficul ty, anil this was the hardest match of the entire tournament. Miss Huehes took the first set 10 8. af ter nearly every game had gone to deuce. In the acond aet Mlsa Deltrlrh. although two years old er than the Roseburg girl, waa too exhausted to continue the atrenu uous pace, and was defeated -4. In the finals Mlna Hughea -was matched with Florence Riddle, city champion of Oranta Pass. The first set waa won 7-5 and the sec ond 6 4. Mlsa Hughes will be awarded a gold medal, suitably engraved, as a trophy for her playing and In recognition of the championship which she now holds. Her victory Is all the more outstanding, when It Is taken Into consideration thai practically all of the entrant In the ladles singles were over 20 years of age.

Royd Bruton, who won his first match of singles, was eliminated yesterday afternoon while playing doubles with Arthur Ollmore, also of Roseburg. His leg was badly wrenched, and although he waa able to finish the match, he was forced to withdraw from tho tournament.
