(jF) The hunt for two escaped women convicts swung today from the Dwight women's reformatory area to Joliet after two men reported having seen them hiking toward Joliet. Eleanor Jarman, notorious murderess, and Mary Foster, bank robber and thief, fled from the reformatory yesterday. Although Warden Joseph E. Kagen of the state penitentiary at Joliet said it was possible the women still were hiding in one of the many cornfields around Dwight, Miss Helen Hazard, superintendent of the reformatory! said she had information indicating they were enroute to or had reached Joliet The women were given a ride 10 miles north of Dwight on State Route 47 to the center of Morris by W.

I. Goode, a Morris insurance agent He left them at about noon when he turned off the highway for his home. They continued north and last were seen in Morris on 'the north outskirts by J. K. Telfer, a rural mail carrier.

Goode, who identified pictures of "the women at the reformatory last night, said they told him they were going from Streator to Chicago for a visit Neither seemed nervous, he said, and during the ride their conversation centered around the plight of war refugees. A filling station attendant In Shanahan reported two women stopped there and told him they were going to Joliet Two women were seized last night at Moline but were freed when it was established that they were not the fugitives. KNOWN AS "TIGRESS' Miss Hazard said she believed the women had obtained a ride and were well outside the re formatory area before their disappearance was discovered and a highway blockade set up. Mrs. Jarman, 36, was known as the, "Blonde Tigress" for her rough treatment of holdup victims.

After engaging in 23 robberies with two men companions, she was sentenced to 199 years for participating In the killing of Gustave Hoeh, 71-year-old haberdasher. He was slain during a holdup in 1933. Miss Foster was serving a one to "10 year term for larceny. She wai convicted in January, 1939, of stealing clothes i hd jewelry varied at $10,000 from Chicago homes where she worked as a maid. As Margaret Allen she served two years in the federal prison at Milan, Mich, for bank robbery.

The women escaped from the cottage-type institution at Dwight by climbing over a 12-foot fence topped with barbed wire. Their prison garb was found In a cornfield less than a mile away. There they apparently had donned dresses stolen from the room of a reformatory employe. GUARDS ARE CALLED Guards from Pontiac reformatory and Stateville prison were summoned to aid state police in the search. Warden Ragen sent a plane aloft to scout cornfields frQm the air.

Miss Hazard said the escape was discovered when the two women failed to appear for lunch. The fugitives had been doing housework in one of the buildings until an hour before noon. Miss Hazard said that one of the escapees apparently fixed the safety catch on a door when unnoticed by Mrs. Etta Tranbarger, a warder on duty in the building. Mrs.

Jarman was the first woman to be sentenced to a 199-year term in Illinois. She was convicted in September, 1933, along with George Dale and Leo Minneci. Dale, who fired the shots that killed Hoeh, was executed and Minneci was sentenced to 199 years. TWO MEN PERISH IN CHICAGO FIRE Chlcaeo Two men. np-' a hold in China almost 100 years ago, in 1843 in the "opium war" and fought another war and the Boxer rebellion to hold it.

British troops are stationed at Peiplng, in the legation quarter; at Tientsin, in the British concession, and at Shanghai in the international settlement. Left to defend foreign interests are American marines at the three cities, with the main force at Shanghai where they have their own defense sector in the international concession, and French troops, who guard the French concessions at Tientsin and Shanghai. It was said authoritatively, im mediately after the brief with drawal announcement, that the United States government had been kept informed of the British intention to withdraw and that Japan also had been notified, FORCES TO BE CUT There are about 1,500 British troops at Shanghai, it was said authoritatively two battalions minus one company. At Tientsin there is one company (perhaps 150 to 300 men). At Pieping there are a handful.

It was announced last November that the North China forces, stationed at Tien tsin and Peiping, would be reduced to the number necessary "to pro tect property and maintain order." The original purpose of the British troops at Shanghai was to protect the international settle ment, rich and built largely by foreign and, among foreigners, British interests, from Chinese vi olence. It was considered that the pres' ent garrison was too small to meet any major situation at Shanghai but that it was sufficient to be useful "elsewhere." Withdrawal, it was said today, had been under consideration ever since the European war started. "IN BEST MANNER" The press association, which en Joys excellent sources in sltua tlons like the present, comment' ed: "Britain at war must dispose of her forces in the best possible manner." As long ago as 1927, during a Chinese revolt, Britain had withdrawn its troops from the British concession at Hankow, abandon ing the concession, and had en visaged the possibility that it might have to withdraw from Shanghai, even though it rein forced its garrison with crack household guard troops from Lon- lon for a defense. At that time authoritative sources had said that it might take a minimum of 1,000.000 for eign troops even to hold, the big ports of China against a deter mined, united Chinese attack. During the World war there was no analagous situation, because China and Japan were on the allied side.

MAY TIE TO AXIS Now Japan, under a new gov ernment which had announced a new "greater east Asia" expan sionist policy, and had planned a single-party parliament on fascist lines, was threatening to tie her self to the German-Italian "axis." Britain had thought it best, un der Japanese pressure, to close the Burma route of supply to China, and to agree not to send goods into China across the Hongkong border. Even today, a United Press dispatch from Manila said that 20 American military planes and minor quantities of dynamite, powder and other war munitions, had been unloaded and stored there pending the hoped-for reopening of the Burma road. They were consigned to China, and the dispatch said that it was under stood the Chinese government had ordered the unloading. SILVER DEMANDED Britain had been involved in a long dispute with Japan at Tientsin, resulting in an only recently lifted blockade of the British and French concessions. Japan alleged that Britain was sheltering Chinese terrorists in the conces sions, and demanded that it hand over millions of dollars worth or.

silver held by Chinese banks in the concession. Recently. Japan suddenly start ed arresting prominent Britons in Japan and Korea, charging them with espionage. Some were released; one was said to have committed suicide while in custody; others are still held. Britain started arresting Japa nese in Britain and announced that two Japanese subjects had been arrested before the Japanese arrests.

It was asserted that the arrests were coincidental with those of Britons but the Japanese held- otherwise. MARINES TO REMAIN Washington Acting Sec retary of State Sumner Welles In dicated today that American ma rines now stationed In Shanghai will remain there, at least for the present, regardless of the British withdrawal of Its troops from the international settlement. Welles said the British action would have no affect whatever on the United States policies and position in the Far East. He said this government had been informed ome time In advance of the British decision to withdraw the British troops from the settlement. Both the British and the Amer- can troops were sent to Shanghai DEEPENS; MAIL IS SEIZED, INSPECTED Disclosure Made Man Who Hit Stewardess Got Into-Baggage Area Though She Had Key Nashville, Tenn.

(U.B What happened to the beautiful young stewardess of the luxurious sleep-' er plane high over the Tennessee mountains became more of a mystery today as postal authorities ordered the plane's mail impounded for inspection. The order plus a new disclosure gave the mystery a sinister cast. The man the girl said slugged her from behind in search of the key to the baggage compartment, actually got into the partment though she swallowed the key to prevent im from get-in it. The compartment contained part of the ship's mail cargo. Postal Inspector Thomas Cotton rode with the plane's passengers on to Los Angeles and soon after he arrived there, he ordered all mail that had been aboard the plane held up pending the completion of his investigation.

He interrogated all the took their names and addresses and permitted them to go their way. Some passengers, who left the plane here, had not been questioned, however. FOUND UNCONSCIOUS r' Officials of American Airlines operators of the plane, had asserted that Stewardess Rosemary Griffith, 24, had been found unconscious in the women's lounge. They permitted no outsiders to talk to her, in a local hospital, but quoted her as saying that a man had entered, demand ed the key to the baggage com partment, then slugged her before she could see him. On the floor, before she lost consciousness, she swallowed the key to be sure that he wouldn't get it Last night United Press report-'1 ers learned from a postal inspec tor and from John Oman of Nashville, that Miss Griffith wss found not in the women's lounee but in the baggage compartment.

Oman said his son, Lieut John Oman had been a passenger on the plane, had seen 'the girl in the baggage compartment Oman had gone to military maneu vers at Camp Selby, and was not immediately available for comment In Memphis, Roy Mitchell, assistant operations man ager of the air lines, said it was possible that Miss Griffith had been found "partly in the ladies lounge and partly in the baggage compartment" because the two doors adjoined. NO EXPLANATION MADE There was no explanation of how the baggage compartment door could be unlocked after she had swallowed the key to keep it from being unlocked or what caused her to believe that it would be better for her to swallow the key than run the slightest risk of it falling into unauthorized handsT" Mitchell said the compartment contained only passengers' baggage and "local" mail destined for Memphis unregistered mail whose contents would be known only to the mailers. The other mail was in a compartment for' ward, unaccessible to anyone while the plane was in flight la New York, R. Smith, president of the lines, said that so far as he knew there was nothing particU-? larly valuable in the mail or tae passengers' baggage. tl also is under consideration.

Ralph E. Ammon, director of the state department of agricuN ture and manager of the state fair, said the dormitory would cost about $80,000 and the grandstand addition about $8,000. If the 1940 fair, to be held Aug. 17-25, makes enough money, ground will be broken this fall or next spring for the projects, Ammon said. The dormitory would be two stories high, about 100 feet long and 80 feet wide.

It would accommodate about 800. SECOND FLOOR -NaT I I Y. Denver Indianapolis Kansas City La Crosse Los Angeles 1.16 .91 .37 Milwaukee Paul New Orleans New York .13 1.08 St. Louis Salt Lake "'City 100 T0 1 GUARDS WILL NOT LEAVE U. ROOSEVELT (Continued From Page 1) and leaving office, Mr.

Roosevelt smiled. All he had to say, he remarked, was that he was a poorer and wiser man than when he went to Albany as governor of New York in 1928. VOTE FOR PASSAGE Washington (ff) Senators Wiley, Republican, and La Fol lette, Progressive, of Wisconsin, and Brown, Democrat, and Van denberg, Republican, of Michigan, all voted yesterday with the sen ate majority which passed legis lation, 71 to 7. authorizing the president to call out the national guard and reserve forces for ac tive training. wney voted with the group which rejected by a 39 to 38 count an amendment by Senator Adams, Democrat, Colorado, which would have limited use of the national guard and reserves to continental United States, American posses sions and the Philippine islands.

Senator La Follette. Brown and Vandenberg all voted in favor of the Adams amendment. During debate on the amend ment, Vandenberg said he would vote for the bill and would later vote against peacetime conscrip tion. "If necessity ever arises for sending the national truard out side the United States," he said, "it a decision in which congress should specifically participate." As lor conscription, he added. "If and when primary peacetime methods fail" he would support it and do so "while there is yet time." Vandenberg read a legal opin ion that, in general, members of the armed forces would not lose their voting right by virtue of their service.

MONSTER TANKS FOR DEFENSE LIKE NAZIS Washington 0P) The. army has decided to build monster land battleships like the 70-ton German tanks which are generally given much of the credit for breaking through French and Belgian fortifications. The national defense commission has cleared a $5,689,725 contract with the Baldwin Locomotive Works at Philadelphia for the construction of heavy tanks. Army officials refused to disclose details of the order, but it was reported that the tanks would weigh in the neighborhood of 70 tons each and would carry 75-millimeter cannon, equivalent in size to the famous fast-firing French field gun. Cost of carrying out the initial order will be high in view of the fact that much new machinery will have to be developed to turn out the parts.

Estimates of the number of tanks which would be obtained under the first contract varied from 20 to 50. No date was given as to the time deliveries could be made. WAUSAU SPECIALIST, DR. SCHLEGEL, DIES Wauaau. Wis.

VPh-Dr. H. T. Schlegel, 70, Wausau eye, ear, nose and throat specialist for 30 years, died today in a local hospital after a short illness. His widow and one daughter survive.

to protect the international settlement where most of the British and American residents of Shanghai live, and where both British and American Interests have valuable investments. At that time the nationalists armies of Generalissimo Chiang Kal Shek were sweeping northward from Canton In a military unification of China and serious disturbances were feared in the settlement gars to be erected would house 14 planes. Heil, after listening to arguments presented by a score or more of persons at the meeting, said: "Nobody is on the spot like the governor. He's going to please somebody and make somebody else mad. The governor then read a letter from Lieut.

Col. B. F. Giles of the war department's national guard bureau, saying Milwaukee was a better site than Madison. "I want to have two facilities built, one at Milwaukee and the other at Madison," Heil asserted "We have orders to build only one now, but I have it from compe tent sources that I can't mention that we'll get another air squad ron." Heil continued: "The adjutant general hasn't recommended either Madison or Milwaukee to me.

This morning he gave me to understand that either place would be all right The good general also gave me to understand that we could get another WPA grant for a second project. If his memory isn't so clear this afternoon I will absolutely go to the war department myself. NO RECOMMENDATION "I'm going to allocate this squadron to Milwaukee. But I've still got enough friends in the U. S.

government, even if I am a Republican and the Democrats are in power, to get another squadron for Madison and a third one for Superior before Jan. 1." Replying, Immell said he made no official recommendation to the governor yesterday because none was asked, but added: "I think it's been apparent to everyone for a long time that I'd like to see the squadron located at Madison." Jackson began firing questions at the governor, asking whether Immell's opinion as the air base site had been sought by the gov ernor. Heil retorted: "Now just wait a minute. I'm not being cross examined. If you don't like it I'll take that second squadron away from Madison and give it to some other city." After another verbal exchange Heil asked: "Would you have been so insulting to your governor if I had given that squadron to Madison?" "TWICE AS LARGE" Madison PJ.R) Mayor James R.

Law said today that every effort will be made to acquire for Madison a second national guard air squadron "twice as large" as the one awarded to Milwaukee yesterday by Gov. Julius P. Heil, Law was a member of the Madi son delegation at a Milwaukee conference at which Heil made the award. Heil said a second squad ron probably would be allotted the state. "I didn't realize there was to be a second squadron until I got there," Law said, "but if it is allotted, as indicated, it will be twice as large as the one now granted to the state." Col.

J. W. Jackson, executive director of the Madison and Wis consin foundation, declined to comment on the conference, at which he engaged a sharp verbal exchange with Heil. No further statement "would do any good now," he said. POSTPONE FISH NET CASE, JURISDICTIONQUESTIONED Sheboygan, Wis.

(IP) Justice of the Peace George S. Goodell to day adjourned to Sept 5 the pre liminary hearings of three Two Rivers fishermen charged with use of illegal nets. The court acted on motion of counsel for the defendants. The latter, Conrad La Fond, Arthur Luebke and Arthur Lonzo, were placed on $500 bond. Defense counsel contended the court had no jurisdiction, declaring that nets which state game wardens seized last Tuesday were taken from a spot in Lake Michigan adjoining Manitowoc county and not adjoining Sheboygan county, In the New York foreign trade rone machinery has been installed that will take the ordinary dried pea, as it is imported, steam tne skin, which is then blown off and bagged, to be sold, as fodder.

Schafer said he was wonderine how these children were going to come to this country when only two weeks ago the state department said British visitors would not be admitted because a showing could not be made when the visa expired that they would be able to return.

"I called the state deDartment in an attempt to brine over here for a visit my mother-in-law's sister, who now resides in England," the congressman explained. "if the state department cor rectly informed me only a week ago that they would not issue a visitor's visa to an English citizen to come over here under a visitor's passport because they could not make a showing that when the passport expires they can return to England, how can they, under that interpretation, issue a visitor's passport or visa to the children covered in this bill?"

The national debt may cross $50, 000,000,000 in a year or two more All lessons from past history teach us that this means infla tion.

If so, metal prices could soar and prices of metal securities could zoom. On the other hand, we have gone so far along the regimented road that the government may establish top prices for raw materials, may turn us back toward deflation. Furthermore, the threat of a German-con trolled Europe will continue to hang over the metal securities as long as the war continues. Summing up, I find that mines and mine investors are not the most optimistic people with whom I have talked on this trip. On the other hand, they are not so discouraged over the outlook as some importers, shipping agents, office-equipment makers, -'and others who have been practically put out of business by the turn of world events! My observation is that they feel that there is a 50-50 chance for the metal markets to score substantial gains or to continue in the doldrums!

(Special) If Germany wins the war, America's gigantic mining industry is in for a rough ride. The real prosperity of cur mines has depended on foreign markets. We cannot begin to consume, as much as our huge mines can produce. The last 10 years have been tough enough, but with Germany out "to get" us in world markets, there is hard sled ding ahead for United States copper, zinc, and lead producers, while the silver people are in an even tougher spot. This is the consensus of opinion among people with whom I have talked here in the mining country.

It explains the unenthusiastic following for metal and mining se-curities in recent weeks. People are afraid that prices are going to even lower levels than at present despite our defense program. Stocks of the leading nonferrous metals are very heavy. Production is still outstripping consumption and prices of metals have been among the weakest of com modities since the war boom blew up in Wall Street last September. Worries over the future price trend of the American metals are the basis for weakness in the price of metal stocks.

SILVER VULNERABLE Silver is in an especially vulnerable position. We are still buying foreign silver at the world price and are purchasing millions of dollars worth of the domestic white metal at about twice the world price! The treasury has tons and tons of the metal on hand a big enough supply to cover our industrial uses for years ahead. The silver purchase pro gram of the government is uneconomic and unsound. There is no more reason why the govern ment should pay a fixed price, far above the world price, for silver than for any other United States commodity wheat, apples, alum inum, or oil. With the pressure on congress to cut out all unnecessary ex penses, this silver-purchase program will be under fire.

Certainly, we ought to stop buying foreign silver, which has been helping to finance foreign governments without mutual benefit to us. The whole silver-buying idea has been one grand grab, one wild scheme which has cost the taxpayers since early 1934! With $14,000,000,000 defense program to finance, we cannot afford to continue to ladle out that kind of money to any group or to any minority no matter how powerful their influence. When the treasury stops paying 71 cents an ounce for silver, many a mine out in this country will have to fold up. THE BRIGHT SIDE That is the darkest side of the picture. There's another side and a brighter one.

Copper, zinc, and lead are all vital raw ma- booming. America is embarking on the biggest defense program in history. Few people yet realize the tremendous supplies of metals that will be used in this armament program. Hence, even, if our export markets are cut off, our defense program will, for the next few years, take up much of the slack in the case of many metals. Probably the most important long-term effect on the American metal business is "ersatz." Plastic substitutes are increasing by leaps and bounds.

Hundreds of articles which only five years ago were made from metal, today come from chemical substitute. There is no question but that these new plastics which pop out of the laboratory at a surprising rate-will eventually raise havoc with the metals business. Some of these plastics are cheaper to produce, easier to handle, shock-proof against abuse. I do not mean to imply that I believe that metals will be entirely or even largely replaced, but plastics will make inroads. INVESTOR'S CHANCES 50-50 from an.
