SHERIFF "DEEP SORROW Charles Bennett, Sneak Thief, Writes Reasons for Breaking Jail Charles Bennett, whose specialty in life is robbing his friends of their jewelry while they sleep, and who re cently got an indeterminate sentence of from 18 months to 15 years in the Washington peniteneiary at Walla Walla, has his behavior while in Clackamas county to thank for the severity of the punitive jolt. While confined in the county jail here last April Bennett "cut his way out" and escaped with another prisoner. His jailbreak was entered against him, and when he was rearrested in Wash ington the fact of his being a fugi tive from justice caused the commit ting judge to increase his sentence. After ' getting clear" here, Bennett wrote Sheritt K T. Mass a letter, in which he attempted to cite extenua tion for his escape. The letter is one of the most unique in the sheriff's collection, and reads as follows: "1 deeply regret this undertaking of breaking jail but it seems the only light lor getting out within one year, for my chances or getting a pa. role look mighty slim to my estima- tion, as I have been in jail four months. So I have come to the con clusion that it is long enough for the crime 1 committed. If 1 had got a parole I would have stayed in Ore gon City and paid all expenses ' con nected with my case and served as a good citizen. "I know that I committed that crime, but still for all that I did not do it with criminal intent: and I also want to lead a good life, which 1 al ways did until I did this thing, so I am going to take a chance if it costs me my life in so doing. "I am not leaving on account of bad treatment, as I have been treated good, and our eating has been excel lent for a jail. 1 have not been hun gry for a day while here. If this thing will be the cause of any trouble to you I will be deeply sorry. Leav ing my best wishes to you and also to Mr. Staats, deputy. Your3 truly, "Charles Bennett."

The evening was Councilman not Particular Regarding Culvert's Shape or Capacity Professor Tooze being absent from the special council meeting Monday evening, Councilman Templeton was able to put over some rather unex pected arithmetic on the city fathers. The subject under discussion was a proposed concrete culvert to carry the waters of Singer Hill creelc under Seventh street, andj,in a report sub mitted Mr. Templeton suggested that a concrete drain 30 inches square be built, and that the city advertise for bids on the work. In the course or n explanation of his report, Mr. Templeton said: "It is not definitely suggested that this culvert be 30 by 30 inches. It may be deemed to have it 40 by 20 in stead, or to use 30 inch concrete pipe. The idea is to use whatever shape culvert will require the least ecxava tion, and so save money for the city." This interested some oi the spec tators considerably, who figured out that the three named shapes of pipe would each have a different capacity. An inquiry was made as to whether all these forms of pipe would have ability to carry off the volume of water in flood time. Some of the spectators went away from the coun cil chamber busily figuring out the relative carrying capacity of a cul vert 30 by 30 in cross section and one 40 by 20 and found a considerable difference.
