"Well why don't you go back then?"
he was asked.
"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.

BERLIN, Aug. 22. (Special.) 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

(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.

TWO ARE YET AT LARGE

Pair Left In Building.
BAKER, Or., Aug. 22. (Special.).
Three men escaped from the Baker
county jail early this morning. Two

be hiding in the city.
The prisoners in the jail either

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

as promised evidence to support his
harges that $15,000,000 was the re

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 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.
