On ploaBant days tho least violent
j patients are allowed to walk around
1 tho grounds. One of tho walks runs
along- the puhlln highways. On Wed
uesday, ns a group of patients,
among whom was Martini, reached a
placo near tho highway, a close car?
riage drove up. A woman sprang out
and beckoned to Martini, who jumped
away from the attendant, climbed the
fonco and was thrust into the car
rlagc by the woman.
Tho driver Immediately whipped up
tho horses. Tho other patients be?
came so excited that the attendant
could not report tho escape for some
time. When an effort was mnde to
find Martini It was learned that he
and two men had taken a train for
Now York, and are supposed to have
boarded a steamer the next morning
for Germany. It is Bald Martini re?
cently Inhorltod a fortune from a rela?
tive In Germany and that his presence
was required to claim It. The woman
who took him away Is believed to have
boon his wifo. It is thought that she
planned the entire affair.

following:
"That the first efforts of this as?
sociation shall be to establish the
departments of Immigration and |
commerce?full departments of the
state government?in each of the'
Scethern states as affording the best1
and most practical means of secur-|
lag the selected Immigration of the
South. That a committee from this;
association appear before the com-j
mhsinn of Immigration of congress
and ask such modification of existing
laws as will render the work of
state departments of Immigration
as effective as possible.
"That this association exert Its
best Influence and concentrate Its
efforts upon the work of arousing
a'l commercial, trade, Industrial and
like Influences to secure the earnest
and practical support of trans-At

trols the Sobago Lake supply to towns
