THREE ESCAPE BY
SAWING IRON BARS
White Prisoners Cut Their Way
Out of City Jail in Easiest
Way Possible.
USED PART OF OLD HACK SAW
iNot Missed by Officers on Duty
Until Called for Break?
fast.
With seven inches of a broken hack
f.iw, covered w tli a bit of rag for a
grip, three prisoners in the City Jail
some time Sunday night cut thetr way
to liberty. Four bars were severed
a.- easily as If they had been lead,
and a heavy galvanized Iron wire
bcreen was plied away with one of the
bars, which was,used as a lever. The.
escape did not become known until
yesterday morning about C o'clock.;
when a general alarm want out und j
the assts'ance of the police was
SSked to find thetn. A reward of S'.'OO
tvas at once offered for tnetr capture.
The following arc the escaped pris?
oners:
wniiam Hartman, alias j. v. Nelson,
thirty years old; six feet tall; 200
pounds; of ruddy complexion, lie wus
Indicted yesterday by the grand Jury
on two Charges of forgery. one-lialC
of tue 1200 reward is offered for ills
capture.
Charles Fox. twenty-two years old;
five feet eight inches tall; light hair;
light complexion; ; I5S pounds; slen?
der: blue eyes and bad teeth.'
Norman Johnson, twenty-two years
old; five feet eight inches tall; dark I
brown hair; slender; fair; bad teeth j
and a live-point star and letter J.
tattooed on lett forearm
Occupied the >nme Cell.
Johnson and Fox had been sentenced '
to one roar in the penitentiary for |
holding u.> and robbing Z. W. Smith.
S druggist, of 435 South Fine Street, t
Fifty dollars reward is offered for thej
capture of each.
The three men occupied the same j
tell at the end of the corridor of the;
second tier of cells. Hi the eastern wing
of the jail.
The insecurity of that portion of
the jail was made clear by the ease
with which they sawed through the
bare, supposed to be steel, but now be
in ved to be cast iron. Kxpert ma
?hlniats who were snown the saw,
the prisoners h:i\ing left it. which had
done the work and the bevercd bars I
declared trial each bar could have
easily been cut througlt in halt an
hour. In view of this fact it Is con
s.dered probable that an investigation
Into the construction of the Jnil may
be the result of the delivery.
Just how the three men obtained
the saw Is partly explained. Several
days ago workmen made repairs 'to i
the women's quarters, and it was i
necessary for them to use hacksaws. I
One of the blades snapped in two, and
it was thrown aside no useless. When'
the work was finished the broken'
blade, with other trash, was thrown In!
i. barrel and removed. It is Supposed
that the bit of saw was picked up by i
a "trusty" nnd given to Hartman,
Johnson and Fox. That is the belief
uf City Sergeant Satterficld and hTs
deputies, though nil "trusties" deny ,
any knowledge of it.
Saivcd Completely Out.
One bar was sawed completely out
of a bottom section oj the cell and
e second sawed nt the top and bent
iisliie at the bottom, leuvlng an open-;
lng sufficient for tho men to crawl
through. Going Into the corridor at!
the eastern end. the men cut out one,
bar and secured an opening large
enough for them to go through and
ciitnb down tho grating to the first
lloor.
Their progress was never onpe In?
terrupted. It was demonstrated yes
terday that the bats could be cut with
practically little noise, and as the men
arc believed to have done their work
during the storm of Sunday night,
they attracted no attention.
? teaching the first floor, they had to
walk probably fifty feet to reach the
top of a staircase lending to the base?
ment. At one of. tho wltidow? just n
few feet above the ground they cut
ftway a Jpurth J>ar. and with the aid
of It rirlejj, jtwfiy the screen, which
was then the. only obstacle to their
iiiilUJL??

Dignity in Travel
To properly represent yourself en

tidious about your luggage as your

Why not?
By what else, aside from certain
personalities, must the people you
meet judge you?
THE MODERN SORT OF

in ripping away enough of the loooen

A board fence, probably seven feet
high, was scaled, and they landed in

for breakfast yesterday morning. !
Frisoners in cells adjoining that cf!

that, while, he said, lie did not vlsli

himself Of any responsibility in the
matter, he thought that If the 'ast?

Though "trusties" have from time
to time escaped from the J^il, this Is

could leave the prison.
Jail officials nt,: inclined to the be?
lief that most of the work was dOn'j
by Hartman, who is regarded us u
bad criminal. .Iolins:on und Fox 1 ad
received light punishment for their
crime, and strong efforts were being
brought to bear on Governor Mann to
commute it Hartman had been placed
In their cell at his own request, which
Is not unusual when prisoners are c-?n

The usual symptoms of Scrofula ore enlarged glands of the nook,
pores and ulcers on the body, akin affections, catarrhal troubles; weak
eyes, and general poor health. The inherited poison, transmitted through
the blood, pollutes and weakens this fluid, and in pltice of its nutritive
qualities fills the circulation with scrofulous mutter, which saps tho vitality
of the entire system. Thousands of children, born with a scrofulous taint,
bare spent their childhood in constant physical suffering, and grown to
manhood or womanhood handicapped by ill health and stunted growth,
end perhaps later some disease of the bones or joints developed. S. S. S.,
?iven in their early life, would have prevented this. It would have
cleansed and purified the blood of tho taint, nourished and steugthened
their systems, and assisted each to grow into strong, healthful manhood
cr womanhood. 8. S. S. is the very best remedy for Scrofula. It goes
down to the bottom (if the trouble, and cleanses the circulation of all
scrofulous matter. It supplies the weak, diso od blood with strength
end health-building qualities, and under th purifying effects of this groat
Remedy all symptoms of Scrofula pass away. S. ri. S. contains no minerals
In any form, and is an absolutely safo troatment fur children, ever, infants,

VIRGINIA PLUM TREE
IS SHAKEN BY TAFT
He Hands Out Ten Post-Office Appointments in
Hope of Strengthening His Dele?

[Special to The Times-Dispatch.]
I Washington, June 3.? Whether It
was the fear that ho mlsht Buffer a
loss of some of tin- Old Dominion del?
egates to the Chicago convention un?
less he -acted, or the result of that
dinner which he gavo Congressman
Blcmp, National Committee-man Alvah
Martin and Louis P. Bummora at tho
White House Saturday, President Taft
to-day shook the political plum tree,
With the result that a good hatch or
Virginia poal-offlco appointments wore
announced.
For some time the Virginia leaders
have heen trying to got these appoint?
ments made, hut for one reason of an?
other nothing was done First Mr.
Slcmp, the man who actually has in
hand the naming of the Virginia >ost
m stcrs. was absent, then the Presi?
dent was away on one of his ttumer- I
oua spell-binding trips. Saturday!
Slemp, Martin ami Summers dropped
Into the White House for a chat with I
tho President. The State lookB good
to them, and so far as they aro con?
cerned there will ho no bolting of
Virginia's G. O. P. delegates at Chica?
go. However, It was thought wiser,
just to make the thing doubly aute.
to have the President place his "O. K."
on some Virginia appointments with?
out any further delay, and to-day'B
action la In accordance therewith.
It will be noticed that these ten ap?
pointments arc pretty well scattered
over the State r;eogrnphlcally, and oth?
ers doubtless will be forthcoming dur?

REAL ESTATE FIRMS
WILL JOIN EXCHANGE
Forty Representative Dealers Attend Meeting-,
Indorse Plan and Pledge Their Hearty
Support?Want big Membershin.
After twenty yours" of intermittent
effort, forty representative real estate
firms yesterday agreed to form and
maintain an organization to bo Known
us the Richmond Real Estate Exchange.
The percentage of doalers who attended
the meeting was enough to insure the
,establishment of an exchange, but be?
cause a number of others were unable
to bo present, it was deemed best that
the organisation be not completed un?
til u future meeting, when every man
legitimately in the business sh-jll have
received a copy of the by-laws adopted.
.Meanwhile (J Herbert b'unsten, wlii.
presided yesterday, will remain as tem?
porary chairman und R. a. Jacob us
temporary secretary.
The committee on organization, which
drafted the by-laws, was rcapp'jtnted
as a committee on membership to have
signed up those members of the trade
who did not attend this meeting, it
consists of William Totld. La-Hoy IS.
Brown, B, a. Jacob, J. J. Pollard, It.
K. Harrison and J. A. McCudy. Tula
committee Is to report to Mr. K?nsten,
who will then call another meeting ft.r
the election of oflicers and Hie perfec?
tion of plans for the exchange. Thu
utmost harmony prevailed throughout
the meeting, and there wad not u j
change of consequence made In tho by?
laws as submitted by the organization
committee, although it was taken up j
section by section. Kven the annual
fee Of $1U0, which Is larger than thai
charged In other cominurclal organ?
izations, brought out no adverse com?
ment. Every one present signed up as
a member, und muny of them stated
that if the exchange accomplished tiie
purpose for which it was designed It
would be many times worth the price
of membership.
I'urpo*cn or the Organisation.
When Hie office of Business .Manager
Dabney, of the Chamber of Commerce*
where the meeting was held, was about
lllled with prospective members of the
exchange, Mr. K?nsten, who had been
named us temporary chairman at a
previous meeting, outlined the purposes
of the organization, in part as follow*?:
"To secure uniform rates of broker?
age In real estate transactions.
"To promote harmony and good feel?
ing among real estate and money bro
I kcrs of each city.
"To provide and maintain a place
j where members may meet and exchange
Ideus upon such subjects as may inter?
est them.
"To protect tho business from tho
encroachment of unlicensed and unau?
thorised persons.
"To maintain practices of honesty and
fair dealing in the- operalons of .till 1 -
ated real es.tate brokers.
"To stimulate greater activity In real
I estate by Joint effort in effecting sales
and transactions, rather than by scat?
tered individual work.
"To discourage tho unfair division
of brokerage and commissions by per?
sons not In Hie business.
"To maintain the real estate broker
in his position of dignity and respon?
sibility, to refute unjust attacka when
made, and to initiate meusures to keep
tho business upon a foundation of in?
fluence and perninnenoy.
"To bring the Influence of the or?
ganization to bear upon municipal and
.Stute legislation in matters pertaining
to real estate.
"By joint effort of our active mem?
bers and co-operation with other or?
ganizations, to bring factories and de?
sirable enterprises to our home city.
"To promote and protect real estate
interests In our city and Its suburbs.
?'To better enable Us members to
transact their business connected with
the buying mid selling, renting and
coring for reul estate and the loaning
of money upon the same, by the adop?
tion of such rules and requirements as
they may deem proper and for their
common good, and by such other means
us may |>c determined upon by It.i
members."
Question of Fair Ho tea.
In ciosing, Mr. Funstcn said:
"We all want the business. Vou
want your share and your competi?
tors want theirs. Not only do you want
It. but you expect a fair and reason?
able remuneration for services ren?
dered. Where standard rates are es?
tablished and lived up to by an or?
ganized body of agents the uniformity
of charges asked in every office pre?
vents the slashing of rates, und at
once, impresses your clients or pro?
spective Clients with the absolute fu?
tility of trying to get a dollar's worth
Of work for 48 cents. It adds to the
dignity of your position not to be
obliged to haggle over your rato of
pay. and at once puts agent and prin?
cipal at ease in reference to what
might be an embarrassing subject for
both.
"An examination of the rates
charged in 100 American cities shows
commissions varying from 1 per cent,
to 6 per cent, for apparently the same
class of work, and minimum charges
varying from $15 to $50. This would
seem to Indicate that some communi?
ties expect their real estate men to
work for very small pay. Only by
thorough local organization can a fair
rate of commission be enforced."
To ne Ably Managed.
Tho by-lews adopted ate similar to
those of other organizations of the
kind. The government and manage?
ment will be vested in a president,
first nnd second- vice-president, who,
together with a board of directors,
consisting of ten members, of which
the officers uro cx-offlclo members,
shall elect a secretary and troasurer.
N'o compensation will bo paid any
member of ttio exchange except by
order of tbo board of directors. It la
provided that the officers shall bo
elected in January of each year, and
that none of them savo the secretary
and treasurer shall hold office muru
than two years.
While in their essential parts, the
by-laws adopted yesterday will stand
tor ull time, those new inenibcrB who
come In at the next meeting will be
allowed to go over them and otter
such amendments as they uec tit, sub?
ject to tho vote of the incmbcrab'p.
There seems hardly a doubt but that
the membership will be more than
doubled by the time the next meeting
ij called, out those who wer? present I
yesterday slated that they already
had enough to put the project through,
and said that they would <lo so even
though there were not another name
added to the list when Chairman Fun
Hten calls the lirat real meeting to
<. rdcr.
