"I haven't got enough money and I can't swim back." was the reply and the prisoner dropped Into a chair and turned his face away with a forlorn expression. Sieberg apparently had been hob nobbing with Miss Moonshine and when he went to the swimming pool he felt like starting something. It started after he arrived and for a time he kept all the guards at the es tablishment busy. They tried to cool 'Mm off by holding him under a cold shower but that failed to have the desired effect, so they sat on him. When the police arrived Sieberg refused to tell them which locker he had so they could get his clothes. They took him to the station dressed as he was.

Al most forgotten in the swirl of more sensational news is the fact that Ger many is in the throes of a serious economic crisis. Many factories are being forced to continue the discharg ing of men and to cut down the hours of work for the survivors. As a re sult, unemployment, steadily increas ing in the past two months, has passed the record unemployment fig ures of last February. At that time 400,000 were unemployed, one-third of them women and they Were receiving unemployment subsidies from the authorities. Now nearly 400,000 mem bers of families :.re unemployed and are receiving similar support. A typical case is the famous Daimler Motor Car works, which has just fired 2000 men out of 8000 and has reduced the working time to 50 per cent of normal. As the unemployment and economic pressure Increases, a re markable near-radical labor move ment is beginning to sweep Germany and is accelerated also by the recent advance of the red Russian armies. The new movement Is to turn the so called non-political shop councils into political shop councils, or, in other words, into real Soviets. At the Daimler works the workers voted by S000 in favor of holding elec tions for a political workers' council. The powerful organization of Berlin's metal workers likewise, by an over whelming majority, voted to hold elec tions for political factory Soviets, which will vitally affect the big metal Industries of Greater Berlin. The new movement also has spread to Munich. The movement is strongly com- munistic in complexion. It indicates that communism is rapidly gaining ground with the German proletariat. Forerunners of a second revolution continue to multiply. From Essen comes a report that the communists are unfolding an inten sive propaganda along the whole Rhenish-Westphalian industrial re gion, with large communist meetings at Essen, Dusseldorf and Eberfeld. The communist leaders are appealing to the workers to seize the power. The only place where 'actual trouble has been reported is in . the small town of Velbert, where 100 reds seized the town hall, deposed the mayor and proclaimed a soviet republic. They seized 1,000.000 marks from the Keichsbank branch and proceeded to requisition money and automobiles. WILD APE FOILS HUNTERS SIMIAX MILKS COWS TO VARY VEGETABLE DIET. Peculiar Tracks Betray Raider When He Strips Udders of Herd Xear Mine Shaft. (Copyright by the New York World. Pub lished by Arrangement.)' PITTSBURG. Pa., Aug. 22. (Spe cial.) Kept close to "his haunts by posses intent on snuffing out his life, a big ape which for the past three days has terrorized the coun- tryside-.bout Homestead, was forced today to assume tne pari or a mutter and secure his suscenance irom sev eral cows grazing in the vicinity of an abandoned mine pit, where the big simian is said to be making his abode. During the first few days of his sojourn in the Homestead and Mifflin township district, the ape took to diet of fruit and vegetables. After terrorizing mining villages and keep ing the women and children of the district in abject fear, the ape brought law down on his head and as a result several posses were organized by county officials to hunt him down. This afternoon farmers living near the abandoned pit, 'Where the ape is said to be domiciled, reported that their cows were being milked by some unknown individual. A check showed that eight of the best milkers, in three herds, for the first time in many weeks were absolutely dry when farm milkers attempted to secure their Bupply of lacteal fluid. Investiga tion disclosed tracks of peculiar shape in the fields where the cows had been grazing. A keeper from the Highland Park zoo who examined the tracks de clared they had been made by an ape. From the size of the tracks he was convinced that the ape was one of unusual size. Two sheep killed yesterday, apparently strangled to death, and three hound dogs used to trail the ape, found dead in differ ent wooded sections, has convinced the Mifflin township authorities that they" are dealing with a dangerous beast. Any intimation that the cows may have been shorn of their -valuable product by Darwin's distantly re moved relatives of the ape is indig nantly refuted by the farmers, who point to the fact that no such oc currence ever before happened in the same neighborhood. 16 EOF JA1LBREAKERS' AID Three Escape at Baker, One Is Recaptured.. TWO ARE YET AT LARGE Bar of Third-Story Window Bent and Trio Slide to Courtyard. Pair Left In Building. BAKER, Or., Aug. 22. (Special.). Three men escaped from the Baker county jail early this morning. Two who are stilltat large, are believed to be hiding in the city. The prisoners in the jail either sawed an iron bar or found a rjar already sawed, which they bent so they could squeeze through and lower themselves from the third story of the courthouse into the courtyard. The men who escaped are D. . M. Morgan, arrested on a charge made by a girl of Huntington, Or., Jack Hanson, one of two o-rested in Pen dleton on charge of stealing an auto in Baker last Monday, and Hay'den Manning, accused of robbing the com missary of the Oregon-Washington Railway & Navigation Co. at Hunt ington. Manning was captured by Baker policemen just after he had descended from the third story of the courthouse. He was lodged In the city jail. The, nrisoners had been left In a barred corridor with their individual call doors open. When ready to es cape they tore all the bed clothes into strips, and tied the strips together, raaklnir a rope which reaches from the third story barred window to the ground. It has not been ascertained whether two prisoners in the county jail were unable to escape Deiore Manning was grabbed by policemen or whether they refused to escape. The prisoners who did not leave are Fred Gorsung. said to be Hanson's accomplice in the auto theft, and man brought to Baker from Whitney, Or., charged with .insulting a young Brirl. Jack Hanson, one of the escaped prisoners is still' at large. He says he is a resident-of Portland. He and Gorsung said they were ex-service men.

He as promised evidence to support his harges that $15,000,000 was the re publican "low mark with the sky apparently the" limit." The governor today received a tele gram from Senator Reed, democrat. Missouri, member of the senate In- estigating committee, saying the orrimittee would resume its inquiry tomorrow at Chicago. That "a 'great deal of money is to e expended outside of the republican national committee fund" was stated by Governor Cox in commenting on New York newspaper reports of sub- eriptione to an alleged history by William Barnes Jr., New York re publican leader. Governor Cox also made public a message sent to Gov- rnor Harding of the federal reserve board at Washington, requesting that teps be taken to aid in moving the fall crops. My attention has been directed in everal parts of the country," said the telegram, "to a condition "which think the federal reserve board should and can correct. It is with reference to movement of crops. Farmers allege that grain elevators are unable to procure sufficient credit take in the season's yield. The farmers are without sufficient gran ary facilities to carry them over. In many instances this creates un naturally fictitious prices."

Klamath County Engineer Sued for Insurance Protection Fund. KLAMATH FALLS, Or.. Aug. 22. (Special.) Suit has Deen started in the circuit court by the state indus trial accident commission against C. T. Darley, county engineer, to col lect $300, alleged to be due as premium on protection of carpenters and laborers employed by Darley on a railway building contract at vari ous times between the years 1915 and 1918. During the period, it is asserted, defendant at no time waived the pro tection of the provisions of the in dustrial accident act. This is one of several similar suits filed in the last few weeks since an agent of the accident commission commenced an audit of local payrolls. Defendants are all small employers who. apparently, because they em ployed only a few workers intermit tently, thought it too much trouble to go throught the routine of insur ance.
