Two Prisoner«, for Whom There Were

Entire Fimily Had Been Stricken But
It W as Thought She Was
Out of Danger.
Nine men found their wny to lib
erty in a «taxational break from th<
eouuty jail at Eugene shortly after
12:30 Friday morning. Four of them
were r«»captur«*d during the day. Thir
teen other prisoners in the jail showed
no inclination to take advantage of
th«* op)N»rtunity to escape.
Those who eacaped are Z«*no Hansard,
serving a sentence for bootlegging; C
L O ’Brien, bound over to the grand
jury on a charge of larceny; VV. B.
Kellison, VV. T. Fisk, Leonard H. Fisk,
Chester J. Wlu al fill and Harold J.
Stuman, all«*gt*«l auto thieves, nud
Clan*nee (M arvin) Peterson and VV. II.
Nesbite, charged with passing ba«l
checks.
Thus«* r«»captured Friday ar«* Stuman,
Wheat fill, O'Brien ami Nesbitt.
Young Htuman admitt«*d to the offi
e«*rs after his recapture that he and
Wheat fill broki* the loeks to the cell
l«*v«*r control boxes, thus allowing the
other prisoners th«* freedom «>f th«* cor
ridora. 11«* said that h«* unl«>cked the
inner st«*«*l door with a k«*y fashioiie«!
from an old spoon and that some one
**1 m * unlocked th«* secoml steel door
and, reaching through a crack, lifted up
th«* iron bolt on the nut*id«*. It was
th«*ii an easy matter to batter down
th«* wooden d«M»r, several men at a
time lunging against it until they
broke th«* screws in the hinges. The
J«M*k held fast.
Ktumau said that the m«»n all sep
a rated aft«*r their liberation. He said
that the br«*ak for liberty hail been
planned a number of days b«*fore. Hev

who chose to stay “ at home” stand

back in, and those who had previously
retir«*«! resumed their sleep ami all was
quiet again in a very short time. One
man in the women's cell hear«l the
other prisoners br«*aking out and called
through th«* window, but there seemed
to ! m * nobody on th«* str«*et nearby.
Sh«*riff Htickels, t*ornm«‘ntiiig ii|»on
th«* escape, said it was due to the over
crow«le«l condition of the jail.
Htuman and Wheat fill, who admit
bri*aking th«* locks to th«* c«*ll door con
trols, had to b«* k«*pt outside th«* cage
1 m *«*: i u s <* there was no room for them

HIGH RAIL RATES DIVERT
LUMBER TO WATER
Eugene Lumberman Sees Revival of
Lumber Buying in East aa Build
ing Campaign Starts.
That there is a probability of a low
uriug of th«: lumber freight rates,
which would be of aubstuuliul beuein
to the Pacific coast industry, is ih«*
opinion ot A. (J. Dixon, manager lor tho
Booth Kelly Lumber «a>mpuuy, ot Lu
gene, who returned Humlay from tlm
eust alter uttending a hearing before
the interstate commerce commission as
the representative of th«* l'uciiic coast.
Mr. Dixou, with other lumbermen oi
the northw^si, tu their nrguui«*nls be
lore the federal commission, cited fig
ures concerning the present situation
of the lumber luduatry ou the coast
and the necessity of u more favorabl*
rate on the rail lines from coast points
to the eust. A decrease of 30 per «tent
in the shipincut of lumber over the rail
lines since the increase in tariff oi
August, 1920, was pointed out to the
commission, states the loeal manager,
who also declared that shipments t»y
water have increased in that period
from 50,000,000 to 200,000,000 feet, in
dicating that the water craft were
making luroads ou the busiucss of the
railroad* due solely to the fuct that
the present rates ou the rail hues were
excessive.
This factor of high fr«*ight rates is
one of the lending causes ot the falling
off lu the lumber shipping from the
Pacific coast, according to Mr. Dixou,
who states that transportation charges
are at present in excess of the total
cost of production at ih«* northwestern
mills. Although a general discussion
of freight rales was not the object of
the northwestern repres«.»utalives of the
luinLcr industry, the fact was touched
upon that the transportation charges
on lumb«»r, which is a bulky couimod
ity, is a very large factor in the final
cost kto the consumer.
lu Hp4*ukiug of lit«; outlook for the
lumber busiucss which he noted in his
trip of four we«»ks through the east,
Mr. Dixou state«! that he sees a sub
stantial increase in the demand for
lumbt*r with the revival of building,
especially iu Chicago, where he found
that an extensive building program is
about to start, following th«* end of a
building trades strike that had beeu
in effect there for three years.

Mr*. George Matthew* is the mo*'
imverely injured. Her left hitud be
eame entangled in the electric
wringer uud all the finger* had
been fed intu the roll* before she
could get the power di*coniiocted.
The thumb did not go between the

from being fed iu. The flu*h be

was lacerated and the finger* are
tender from the .severe pressure, but
it is thought the bones were not in

Mr*. Victor Kent sustained sever
al burned fingers when they were
caught in the steam from a briler

Both are young married women.
