Sheriff Humphrey nt noon
was mill trailing Fred Ford and Ous
make their escape, and it h highly
possible that It a car was provided,
so also were arms and funds for tho
getaway.
No authentic report ot any trace
of Ford and Christ had boen received
this morning, but it is believed they
beaded south and persons told tho
sheriff that two men answering tho
description had been seen In tho
country south of here. Whether
they were tho fugitives or not Is
open to doubt.
Tho prisoners had planned tho es
cape carefully and some time beforo

door between themselves and liberty,
tho outer door of the women's apart

foro tho 08ca,e the Jal1 was cleaned

door was not locked, the officers of
course believing that the coll lock
was Intact. This gave the prisoners
tholr opportunity, and lifting the
previously prepared lock on their cell
from Its place they walked out wlth

The lock-sawing Job was cleverly
done. The lock Is one pf the Yale
patent padlocks and tho prisoners

When 'the time came for tho get-
away It required only a twist of tho
wrist and the doors were open to
liberty,
Dr. A. A. Soule, city health
officer, stated today that thero was
a great need for special officers to
enforco Quarantine restrictions
against influenza.
"Unless we can enforco tho quar
antine," said the physician, "our
efforts to control the situation are
crippled, and instead of nipping tho
epidemic in tho bud, wo aro likely to
drift along until the disease spreads
so far that tho state board ot health
will take hold of tho situation and
close up tho entlro community."
It is understood that tho city ad-
I-mlnlstratlon hesitates to appoint
quarantine officers because ot short
ago of a fund from which to pay
them.
Dr. Scule maintains that thero is
no necessity ot resorting to cxtronio
measures nnd that control ot tho
situation can bo gained ns efficiently,
nnd without tho community and in'
dividual loss resulting from general
closing, If quarantine restrictions
against all cases of influenza and
suspected Influenza aro rigidly en
forced.
Ho says, however, that without an
adoquato force of inspectors tho.
quarantine cannot bo maintained.
Patients who aro ablo to ho about
travel around and sproad1 tho dls
oase. Rooms which patients havo
occupied aro no fumigated before
being used agaln especially; in room
ing houses.
There is no, qauso for serlolis

the doctor, but iu order to keep'tho

uy Representatives Slakes State
ment of Government's Stand; Will
not Stop Monday's Strike.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 13. A deci
sion was reached as to the adminis
tration's policy in dealing with the
railroad wage controversy today la
conference with representatives ot
the railway brotherhoods. The
President said that the govern
ment's policy is "based on Justice to
all interests," but the text ot the de
cision was not announced at the
White House.
-Government officials said It was a.
decision containing a definite pre
posalfor settlement of the wage
dispute and it is assumed that there-
la a counter-proposal by the railway
representatives.
The" conference lasted 1ST minutes.
The President appeared In a wheel

LBIG-TOURIST RUSH
IN SOUTHERN CAU
(Portland Oregonlan.)
"They 'are holding", up pecple In
Los Angeles, and rather than be
stuck by the profiteers, -I drove to
San Francisco to get a bed," says
James M. Blakely of Klamath Falls.
"The Los Angeles streets are so
crowded that It looks like a carnival
period. The sidewalks are not wide
enough, and -people walk in the
streets. The pedestrians on the.
pavement make it next to impossible
to drive a machine. They climb on
your radiator, on your bumper and
on the ninning board. You drive a
block and then wait a quarter of an.
hour before you can go another
block. There is talk of, not permit
ting cars to be parked Inside of
Figueroa street from that street
into town but the merchants are
protesting against such a regulation.
In November and December there
were 1000 tourists arriving every
day, and the big rush did not start
until January. People stand in line
at tho restaurants to get something;
to eat. The congestion Is terrific
and the hotels gouge the patrons for
every cent they can. Conditions are
far better in San Diego and San
Francisco."
