ATTEMPT TO SffEAK

Hadley Files Way From Cell;
Irlves Up After Dig
- gifig in Bricks V
Another attempted break from
tne Manon county jail came to
naught when Burdette Hadley,
forger, filed his war through the
bars of his cell, dug a row of
bricks from the north wall of the
court house, and then abandoned
tne project; The incident is be
lieved to have occurred shortly
after midnight Thursday morning
but did not become known until
later in the day. - r
The reason tor Hadiey's aban
donment of the attempt remained
as much a mystery as did the
source of the tools with which he
almost made his way to liberty.
Up For Parole
. More nnexplainable still was the
fact, that Thursday was Hadiey's
day to come on tor sentence before
Circuit Judge Kelly, and Hadley
wanted a parole. It was considered
probable - that he would get one.
In view of the fact that the charge
against him Involved forgery of a
check for only $19 and restitution
of the money was being made. The
upshot of it was that the parole
was denied and Hadley will spend
the next 12 months in prison, v
' "No charge was placed against
him for his start for freedom." it
was started Thursday by Oscar
Bower, sheriff, "There would have

U DDIS PLANE
WITH BUT ONE HID
Famous Flyer and Fiancee
Take Short Flight Day
.1 Fallowing Mishap
MEXICO CITY, Feb. 28 (AP)
Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh
demonstrated with one hang his
confidence in flying even while
his right arm remained in a sling1
as the result of his "mishap" of
yesterday. Miss Anne S. Morrow,
his promised wife,' bravely follow
ed his lead with undiminished
faith in the abilltv of the colonel
and the safely of the work which
has been his life.
Miss Morrow apparently found
tonic in the medicine prescribed
in the training corps of the United
States' army by Which, a .flier is
sent back Into the air to renew, his
confidence as soon as possible
after a crackup. She seemed, a
trifle nervous as she entered the
airplane but. after ' three short
flights over Valbuena field she
was as gaily confident as her com
panion. '
The aviator himself showed no
uneasiness at managing the-plane
with his left hand nor did. he dis
play any awkwardness in handling
the commercial plane to which ne
was a stranger.
Lindbergh made three takeoffs
and landings within half an hour.
The flights were limited to circl
ing over, the field. - f
Details' of the crackup yester
day when the aviator brought his
plane down, knowing that he baa
dropped a wheel on the take oil
from- thehrpicnlc ground m tne
country, showed that he had con
sidered the protection of his fian
cee In every way. Not only did he
exhaust the gasoline supply to re
move the danger of explosion or
fire but he lowered the cabin win
dow so that Anne would not be
cut by flying glass. He warned her
that the- machine .was likely to
turn over; but assured her that the
crash would not be serious.

In view of the narrow margin
by which the measure passed the
hcuse. its fate In the senate is
somewhat in doubt, although the
senate has in - general exhibited
more Interest In telephone rate
legislation than has the house. '
Both branches have passed two
memorials calling for federal in
vestigation. The senate Toted
dowa Senator Upton's bill for a
general 1 per cent reduction

ators said at that time, that they
opposed this bill because the

the same purpose, namely that of
throwing the entire matter- Into

Officials of the company tonight
could not ascribe a definite cause
for the explosion of the tank of
compressed air which was three
feet 'wide and 15 feet long but
said they believed it was due ei
ther to a defect or over-compres
sion. -
Forty Workman

o'clock while forty of the 180
workmen employed in Qarry were
passing through the timekeeper's
office, three feet from the tank
of the compressor, checking out
after the day's work.
Suddenly and with a loud de
tonation the tank - exploded, de
molishing the time keeper's office
and scattering bits of eteel among
the workmen.
The four negroes were dead
when other workmen on a work
train nearby reached the scene
and Sowan died before an ambu
lance arrived. Davis and Glaze died
in an ambulance en route to a
hospital in Atlanta. i
The accurate list of the injured
was not available tonight.
The streets of this little town
were crowded with townspeople
tonight, the majority of whom de
rive their income from the quarry.

Plain Truths
Repeal of Salmon Wheel Bill
Still Up In Air; Debate
Grows Warm
Representative Settlemier. of

spoken when he speaks at all on
the floor of the house, rared right
backra his haunches and told Ms

tee some plain truths Thursday
sight when discussing the bill to
repeal time law putting fish
wheels out of business.
Representative Anderson de
clared that the people voted elim
inating the wheels and the voice
of the people should be obeyed.
Settlemier countered this by
reminding Anderson that the lat
ter had- voted an Income tax when
the people have rejected, one nine
times, the last time only four
months ago; that Anderson had
voted down an increase in com
pensation for legislators, and that
Anderson had voted for a Ueuten
ant governor when the people have
repeatedly voted that down.
Injustice Admitted
By lower River Man
Metsker said elimination Of the
wheels bad been an Injustice and
he i disliked working an injustice
on. anyone, but his people in Co
lumbia county use nets and not
wheels, so they would not like to
see the wheel law repealed. 'How
ever, he would favor reporting
the bill out without reccomenda
tlon it the emergency clause was
deleted. Settlemier, Childs and
Knapp agreed to this proposal if
Metsker would make the motion.
Then Metsker asked permission
to sleep on it over night.'

against F. fJ. Seufert, whose
wheels were topped, when he
was Interrupted by Settlemier,
who told how Seufert had made

cherry trees to the farmers to be
paid for when they had their first
