FIFTEEN OF PRISONERS REPORTED RECAPTURED Ringleaders Unlock All Cells and Invite Others to Flee, But Some Refuse to Join In Flight. (By United Press.) CLEMENS PRISON FARM, Bra- zorla, June possea of guards and civilians scattered out again at dawn today In an effort to round up the convicts still at large out of the forty-three who escaped from the prison farm here after powering three guards. Searchers straggled back to the farm last night with empty hands after searching bottom lands In Brazos county since early morning.

Fifteen of the forty-three had been definitely reported recaptured, with possibilities that others might be held by officers in nearby towns. That tho search would be concentrated near Sweeney, where residents reported the woods "swarming with convicts," appeared likely. The convicts scattered In all directions and posses were being formed In every town within a raUius of fifty miles. Warden Takes Charge. Warden Harrell of the state penitentiary at Huntsville, who came to Clemens farm immediately upon being Informed of tho delivery, today had taken active charge of tho hunt nnd was dispatching searching bands armed with sawed off shotguns, in every direction.

In tho meantime Warden Harrell had begun an Investigation of the break. Statements gathered from prison guards and others about the farm showed that Robert "Red" Massey, serving three ycurs for theft; J. O. Williams, serving live years for robbery, and Leo Smith, life termer, were the ringleaders in the break. None of the three were recaptured.

Williams, pretending to be ill, sidled up to Picket Boss Emmett Moore and, when the guard's back was turned, held them up with a revolver. Smith then appeared also armed. They took Moore's keys and gun. Unlock All Cells. Overpowering two other guards, the ringleaders unlocked all the cells nnd invited the prisoners to escape.

Forty took advantage of the opportunity. Of the more than 200 In the prison, about 150 refused to attempt an es- cape. Many of the prisoners were armed, convicts who witnessed the escape Hald, but officials were at a loss to understand whore they got the weapons. The alarm was not sounded until almost an hour after the break, the remaining prisoners cowering in their cells, afraid to give tho alarm. Tho ringleaders had threatened those who remained behind If they attempted to release the guards or ring the prison bell.

DROP IN PRICES OF JULY COTTON By OKOHOE DEWITT MOU1SON. (Copyright, 1929, by Attoona Mirror.) NEW YORK, June process of liquidating the July position in advance of notice day Tuesday had a further depressing effect on July quotations on the' cotton market today but with little influence on the general price level.

Steady selling on the part of tho long Interest in the old crop delivery widened the spread between July and new crop months further so that July sold as much as 40 points under October whereas six months ago July was selling 40 points over October. Excellent weather, the best in several years at this season, brought reports of constantly improving conditions in nearly all sections of the belt and the plant Is responding rapidly to the warm weather and limit rainfall. In this respect, the situation Is the reverse of a year ago when the plant was deteriorating throughout the month of June, whereas now the average is rising and the June 25th figure is generally regarded as likely to be considerably above the average. Predictions were for generally fall- weather In western and lower Mississippi valley sections, with widely scattered thunder showers in eastern states. Very little rain fell during tho last 24 hours so that fully three quarters of the belt has now enjoyed three consecutive weeks of unusually favor- Ing weather conditions.

Prices this morning eased off a few points on July which sold within a point of 18 1-4 cents and at midday quotations for all months were within few points of last night's closing figures.

eastern standard time, giving the country fourteen hours and fifty-five minutes of daylight. By JOSEPH S. WASNBY, Stuff Correspondent. WASHINGTON, D. June Summer arrives officially today and with the advent of the now season Dr.

Hugh S. Gumming, United States surgeon 1 general, made public a few hints on how to keep cool. At exactly.6,01 p. eastern standard time, the sun will reach the summer solstice point, the highest portion north that It travels and from then until about July 20 the earth will absorb rays. "Drink plenty of Cooled water and wear cool, comfortable clothes to avoid suffering from the heat," Dr.

Gumming said. "Keep out of the direct rays of the sun as much as possible and avoid excessive sun burn. "Iced drinks can be consumed only In moderation. Iced tea and coffee and ice cream are delicious and give temporary cooling effect, but after the effect wears off the body gets warmer than before." Dr. Gumming suggested that people eat aa little heavy food as possible during the warm months.

He urged that menus be made up of vegetables, salads and fruits. "Light colored clothes apparently reflect the heat and afford protecting influence. The mental reaction' of dressing in white or light colors helps persons to forget they are warm, Sack in about 1888 it was the vogue to wear red flannel undershirts' to keep out the heat but we have advanced considerably since then and know it was wrong, "Women wearing short sleeves, short skirts keep up with the style and are more comfortable than those Who wear sleeve dresses. In addition, the short sleeves, low neck and back dresse's allow them to acquire A healthful tan. "Both men and women should wear low-heeled shoes in the summer.

San? dal shoes afford ventilation for the feet. "Care should be taken Hot to wear baits too tight, for, when the waist Is strapped, freedom of the muscles is retarded and that is injurious as well as uncomfortable in hot weather." Dr. Gumming stressed the point that everyone should wear underwear In the summer, explaining It was the wrong idea that the less clothes one wears the cooler a person stays. "Under clothes take up the perspiration, and are, absolutely essential to keeping cool. Under-garments should be changed daily and a bath a day will go a long way toward keeping one cool.

"People should not fret about the warm weather. The more a person worries over the heat the hotter he gets. Avoid discussing how hot it is and you will be better off." ANOTHER DAY OF LIGHT SUPPLIES By C. 1929, by Altoona Mirror.) UNION STOCK YARDS, CHICAGO, June day of light supplies failed to help the hog market today and prices were weak.

FECT MATERIALS. MARCH'S, 1224 11THAVE. The prosecution against Jeremiah L. Mclntyre, Altoona contractor, charged with two statutory offenses in connection with his alleged intimacies with his 18-year-old niece, Pearl L. Gates, daughter B.

Gates of Roaring Spring, came to a sudden termination at quarter sessions court at Hollldaysburg yesterday afternoon. On motion of District Attorney Richard H. Gilbert, a nolle pros was entered. The conditions, of the termination of the case were that Mclntyre pay the costs, a $25 doctor bill which had been incurred in behalf of Miss Gates and enter into his own recognizance in the sum of $1,000 conditioned that he keep the peace toward all good citizens and more especially toward Miss Gates; he was likewise admonished that he would be obliged to keep away from the girl, the father acquiescing with that condition imposed. Scarcely had the words of Judge Marion D.

Patterson died away when the girl made an attempt to get to Mclntyre. Mr. Gates grabbed the daughter by the arm and swung her in the opposite direction; Mclntyre, who apparently wanted to talk with tier, was detained by Constable Joseph IT. Flltz of the Second ward, Hollldays- burg, while Sheriff Ira F. Balrd took charge sf Gates.

This displeased Judge Patterson, who directed the arrest of the girl. David K. Wierman, Martlnsburg constable, forthwith made information against tier before Justice of the Peace Isaac M. Irwin, charging a statutory offense. Both Mclntyre and Miss Gates were then taken to jail.

Mclntyre is held tor the costs, a friend having put up a bond of $1,000 for his apprehension some tlmo ago and advanced 5255 for his return from LaJunta, Colo. This bill, as well as the court costs and witness fees, must be paid before Me Intyre can be released. Besides, Mcln- tyre is held on a- charge of issuing a fraudulent check, a charge having been made before Alderman Robert A. Conrad of this city. No hearing has yet been held in this.

Constable Wlcrman stated last evening that Miss Gates is very repentant. Visited in her cell by her parents, she told them that she would forever spurn the attentions of Mclntyre if she could only be released. No one knows just what the future holds in store for her. In court, Mclntyre claimed to have been wedded to the girl in Canada, having previously been divorced from his wife in an Ohio court. What are alleged to have been undue Intimacies with the girl became public property last September, an elopement following.

A trip to Canada and through parts of eastern United States was followed by Mclntyre going to Colorado and the girl coming home. Through the interception of letters which Miss Gates is alleged to have written to him, Mclntyre was located, arrested and brought to Hollldaysburg by Sheriff Baird. A jury yesterday afternoon acquitted Alek Krywakulskl, East Juniata man, on a charge of larceny. It was claimed by the prosecution that the defendant had sold brass fittings and rings to John Moyer, a junk dealer, and that articles which bore the stamp of the Pennsylvania railroad were found on his premises when search was made. Krywakulskl denied sale or theft and said the articles found on his premises were nothing but Junk and were there when he bought the place.

Jesse Hoover, Martlnsburg, was charged with fraudulent conversion. His counsel first made an attempt to have the indictment quashed and failing in that sought and obtained a continuance of the case to the October sessions, so that an audit of books might be made to determine the status of himself and a corporation for which he had been engaged to sell on the commission plan. Hoover maintains that an audit of the books will disclose that he owes nothing and his lawyers maintain the prosecution is a clever ruse on the part of the company to collect a civil debt in a criminal court The prosecution against E. M. Walters, charged with larceny of tools from the Pennsylvania railroad, was quashed, on approval of the district attorney.

Judge Patterson dismissed the Jurors who had rendered service during the week, with thanks, and adjournec court until Monday, July 1, at B.30 o'clock. HO CARS FIGURE IN CORNER WRECK Two automobiles, one registered in name Of F. 3, Albright, 302 Logan avenue Llyawen, and the other owned and operated by Andrew Nic- cas, an attorney, of Canton, were both badly damaged in a crash at the corner of Third avenue and Thirteenth street, Duncansvllle, yesterday morn- ng. Mrs. Nlckas, who was accom- her husband on a trip to Beth- ehem, and Washington, D.

suffered slight injuries, which were by a Duncansville physteian. The Ohio attorney's car fared very tadly in the accident, which was said have been due to the high speed of Albright car in approaching the ntersection, a wide curve being necessary in getting around the corner onto Third avenue, from Thirteenth street, crowding the Nlckas car over he curb on the far side of the street. The body and frame were badly bent and twisted and many broken parts sustained, including three wheels and a puncture of a tire on the fourth. Mrs. Nickas was thrown against the car and suffered a slight head Injury and a cut on the leg.

The Albright car, a practically new coupe, was occupied by the driver and two young women, all of whom were fortunate in escaping uninjured. The disabled cars were removed to a Duncansvllle garage following the crash. Later In the day the Albright machine was brought to a garage in this city. Before leaving for Bethlehem by rail, Mr. Nickas left instructions to have repairs made to his car, to be completed upon his return.

Damage to the Albright car consisted of a broken left front wheel and damage to the left front part, where it plowed into the Ohio car, which approached the intersection from the west. The Albright car was traveling south on the Sixth avenue-Duncans- vllle road and was turning westward onto the William Penn highway. Nickas drove far to the right in a vain attempt to avert being crashed into. PROSECUTE 58 FOR FOOD VIOLATIONS LAST WEEK OF OUR REMOVAL SALE AT 1300 11TH AVE.
