PRISONERS BREAK JAIL AND ARE RECAPTURED. Three negro prisoners confined in the county Jail—Hugh Martin, "Red" Campbell and Will Plummer—made their escape Monday night, but their period of freedom was cut short by their arrest In Charlotte yesterday. The escape of the prisoners was made possible by the industrious use of a saw or saws slipped to them in some manner from the outside. The three prisoners, who were con-fined in a cell on the second floor of the jail, sawed the iron bars of the cell door, after which they went to the third floor and sawed the bars of a window. Their route to liberty then was short and easy. Descriptions of the three negroes were sent broadcast and shortly be-fore noon yesterday Sheriff Stafford •eceived a message from Charlotte stating that the prisoners were under arrest there. The sheriff and Mr. Jule Dillon, the jailor, boarded the first train for Charlotte and returned last night with the prisoners. Hugh Martin, who is believed to have engineered the escape, was ar-rested during the holidays at a block-ade still near Oak Ridge. "Red" Campbell was in jail awaiting trial at the next criminal court on a larceny charge, having appealed from a judg-ment of the Greensboro Municipal court. Plummer is a convict on the county roads and was brought to the jail recently to recover from an In-jury he had received.

Mrs. Martin Wyrick, an aged and beloved woman, died unexpectedly yesterday morning at her home about six miles east of the city. With the exception of a cold from which she was suffering, Mrs. Wyrick appeared to be in her usual health. She be-came ill soon after breakfast and died at 10.45 o'clock. Mrs. Wyrick, who had reached the ripe old age of 92 years, is survived by the following children: Mrs. George West, Mrs. John Heath, Mrs. Henry Kellam, Mrs. T. D. Whitting-ton. Misses Katherine, Louisa and Mary Wyrick and Mr. G. W. Wyrick. She also leaves a sister, Mrs. Malin-da Smith, and many other relatives. The funeral was held this after-noon at 2 o'clock at Mt. Pleasant Methodist church, of which Mrs. Wy-rick had been a member for many years. Rev. J. E. Woosley, the pas-tor, conducted the services. Mrs. Henry Fanlconer Dead. Mrs. Henry Faulconer, wife of a train dispatcher for the Southern Railway In this city, died Monday af-ternoon at her home on Asheboro street. She had been hopelessly ill for quite a while and the end was not unexpected. Mrs. Faulconer was 45 years old and a native of Gordons-ville, Va. She Is survived by her hus-band, two sons and two daughters. A funeral service was conducted from the home Tuesday afternoon by Rev. J. H. Bennett, pastor of Centen-ary Methodist church, after which the body wu carried to the old home In the opinion of a majority of the Democratic members of the ways and means committee of the house of rep-resentatives, the European war has not created a situation in this coun-try which demands any substantial revison of the Underwood-Simmons tariff law. That one or two schedules of the tariff may have to be changed to meet existing conditions, some of the members admit; but the sentiment is expressed that the measure would have accomplished everything prom-ised the country had It not been for the loss in customs revenues due to the conflict in Europe. As was expected, the Republican members of the committee are unani-mous in expressing their disapproval of the Democratic tariff law. They insist that, war or no war, it has been a failure and should be revised all along the line. ( These views were expressed by Democratic members of the commit-tee: Chairman Kitchin—"Our commit-tee will be called upon to provide whatever additional revenue is need-ed to meet prospective expenditures. But until we know the actual condi-tions existing and whether there is a demand for such outlay, I cannot say what our policy along this line may be." Representative Rainey, of Illinois —"The tariff law has never had a fair chance to demonstrate that it can do all its makers expect it to do. I think, however, that to quiet the apprehensions of manufacturers, an ant-dumping clause would prevent manufacturers abroad from selling their products here at less than the cost of manufacturing them here." Representative Hull, of Tennessee —"At the close of the war the new re adjustment of financial, commercial and industrial conditions will- begin. Then will be the appropriate time to consider whatever steps may be nec-essary to make our present competi-tive revenue tariff system conform to these new and changed conditions in the world's trade, finance and indus-try." Representative Garner, of Texas— If I had my way about it, I would have changed the tariff law at the very beginning. I was never in favor of free wool or free sugar. I don't think, however, that the European war has had anything to do with the case." Representative Collier, of Missis-sippi—" There is absolutely nothing that has transpired in this country since the outbreak of the European war to warrant any revision of the Underwood law." Representative Dickinson, of Mis-souri—" I do not favor any general revision of the present tariff law. I believe, however, there should be some expansion of the income tax measure and that sugar should not be placed upon the free list." i Representative Oldfield, of Arkan-sas—" Nothing has occurred up to the present time to warrant any revision of the tariff law." Representative McGilltcuddy, of Maine—"I cannot see the necessity for any revision of the tariff law at the present time. The measure is working well and business is being adjusted to it." Representative Allen, of Ohio— "Generally speaking, I do not believe there is any necessity for a revision of the Underwood law. It may be necessary to collect some additional duties when the emergency arises, but this situation is not confronting us at this time." Representative Crisp, of Georgia— "I am not in favor of any general re-vision of the Underwood law." Representative Casey, of Pennsyl-vania—" I do not believe that any re-vision of the present tariff law should be attempted until we know exactly the condition of the public revenues and what our expenditures in the fu-ture are to be. It will be time enough then to talk of tariff revision or what changes should be made in the exist-ing measure." Representative Helvering, of Kan-sas—" I do not see the necessity at this time for any general revision." Montenegro is being treated to a steam roller attack similar to that which crumpled up its friend and neighbor, Serbia. The Austrian on-slaught, which has been a long time In preparation, is now being prose-cuted with great violence, menacing several important positions close to the; Adriatic coast. The great Montenegrin stronghold, Mount Lovcen, has fallen, according to an Austrian official communication. The attack has been largely assisted by Austrian warships and the guns of the Cattaro forts. In addition the Montenegrins say the Austrians made abundant use of asphyxiating gas contrivances. A battle is raging on the whole of the northern and east-ern frontiers of Montenegro. On the east the Montenegrins have been com-pelled to evacuate Berane. For the British public the latest statements regarding the situation in Mesopotamia will not entirely relieve the anxety. The British General Ayfmer's column, which is advancing to . the relief of Kut-el-Amara, has met and repulsed' a strong Turkish force, but its present position is by no means satisfactory, for it finds in front of It a Turkish army greatly superior In numbers. Therefore it is evident that a successful juncture of the two British forces, although they are only 20 miles apart, may prove a iifflcult matter. There have been no fresh develop-ments on the Russian front, where the cold weather again has set in, the thermometer at some points touching 20 degrees below zero. Al-though for the moment the Russians have ceased their attack upon the Austro-German lines from the Pripet river ,to the Bessarabian frontier, in-formation from German sources is that,they have not given up the ven- . merely.... re-organizing their forces for another formidable assault. The Russians are reported as for-tifying the positions recently won by them and In this way their front has been gradually extended until they occupy about 34 miles of the east bank of the middle reaches of the Stripa river, a position which it is deemed is secure against recapture by the Austro-Germans. As far as the western front is con-cerned the center of interest is still the Champagne region. According to French accounts, there was clearly nothing casual or ordinary about the big German attack which the French claimed they successfully stopped. The French lines here make a tempting salient, but the position evi-dently has been made corresponding-ly strong. Paris claims that the French, by vigorous counter-attacks, expelled the Germans from all except a small sec-tion of the trenches which they had won in Champagne. Deeds conveying Guilford county real estate have been filed for record this week as follows: E. E. Bain and wife to the Cun-ningham Brick Company, three tracts of 77.66, 5.52 and 4.91 acres in Gil-mer township, adjoining the lands of C. D. Benbow, E. E.

Marion Butler, acting for Randolph county Republicans and others, yes-terday filed with President Wilson a petition and affidavits preferring charges against W. C. Hammer, United States district attorney for the western district of North Carolina, and requesting his removal. The probable course indicated would be for the president to sub-mit the petition with the affidavits to the attorney general for investiga-tion, and in the event an investiga-tion Is ordered the hearing probably will take place in Washington. There are five charges, which re-late to alleged practice of fraud In connection with the election of No-vember 3, 1914, and alleged non-per-formance of duty as district attorney. It is claimed that Mr. Hammer coun-selled and advised voters and election officers of Richland township, Ran-dolph county, "to omit and violate their duty by which voters were pre-vented from voting at the election for a representative in Congress and deprived of their privilege as elec-tors;" that he took possession of bal-lot boxes unlawfully; that he failed to perform his official duty; that he failed to prosecute persons, and that he misconducted himself by official action toward a grand juror. A Mothers' Circle.—A mothers' circle wil be formed at Concord school house Friday afternoon, January 14, at 2 o'clock. The women of that sec-tion will rally at the school uouse at of the deceased in Virginia tor inter- this time and the circle wiU be form-meat. ed. Gqldsboro, Jan. 12.—Sweeping in-to town this morning shortly after midnight In automobiles, 100 or more armed and disguised men took John Richards, the negro who had con-fessed participation in the murder of Anderson T. Gurley, a planter of the county, from the Wayne county jail, and, carrying him to a river bridge where the body of his alleged victim was found, hanged him to a tree and riddled his body with bullets. Richards' confession implicated three other negroes, two of whom, Ben Coley and Isham Smith, were in the jail at the time, but these men the mob, at the request of Deputy Sheriff Toler, whom they had in their power at the time, left in their cells. Since making his confession Richards had showed signs of insanity, feigned or real, and It is alleged that he made another confession before being put to death in which he again implicated others. Richards, hurried from the jail, was placed in a waiting automobile and the party in a short time had set out on the river road to Hooks bridge. This point reached, at the corner of the bridge where Gurley's murderer dragged) the body of his victim and threw it into the river, Richards was swung up to a limb of a tree overhanging the spot. Possum Mr. T. L. Neece. of Richland, Iowa, hunters who were within hearing say | arrived today to spend a few weeks the body Three former officials of the United States internal revenue department and four other men, one of them & North Carolinian, are to be placed on trial during the term of United States District court which convened in Port Smith, Ark.. Monday on charges growing out of a big blockade .iquor conspiracy In which It is alleged that the government was defrauded of many thousands of dollars in taxes. The defendants are James L. Sur-ber, Atlanta, Ga., former superin-tendent of the Georgia revenue divi-sion; J. W. Grider. Sonora. Ark., and Newton C. Spradling, Aurora, Mo., former government whiskey guagers; J. R. Thomas, a Fort Smith saloon keeper; Moses B. Brock, Salisbury, N. C, alleged owner of one of the moonshine distilleries; James L. Smith, Atlanta, Ga., and Will Smith, of Fort Smith. Former District Attorney A. E. Holton, of Winston-Salem, is in Fort Smith appearing for some of the de-fendants. The Indictments against the men resulted from the operating in Fort Smith of the J. C. Brewbaker distil-lery, alleged to have run without a license for thirteen months in 1914 ind 1915, its product having been shipped to Kansas City and distrib-uted from there. More than a score of persons were Indicted in connection with the case in June, 1915. Five men pleaded guilty, among them being John L. Casper, of Kansas City, formerly of Winston-Salem, named as "the brains of the conspiracy," who was sen-tenced to nine years in prison and a fine of $33,000. Knox Booth, also indicted, died three days later in Memphis, Tenn., and government Je-tectives are still investigating his death. He had been superintendent of the Tennessee revenue district, and was expected by the government to testify against his former associates. He is said to have told friends he feared for his safety. Guy L. Hartman, of Kansas City, alleged to have been Casper's busi-ness associate, was arrested, forfeit-ed a $25,000 bond, and is said to be In Mexico. J. C. Brewbaker, also of Kansas City, and against whom a number of Indictments were return-ed, also is missing. Surber, Grider, Spradling, Thomas and James Smith are defendants in an indictment charging sixty-four overt acts, which are alleged to have formed a conspiracy. Thomas also is defendant to an-other indictment, alleging thirty-three overt acts, constituting "moon-shining." Brock and Will Smith are defend-ants to an Indictment charging twen-ty- six acts of "moonshinlng" and con-spiracy, and involving the operations of the M. B. Brock distillery In Fort Smith from July 1, 1912, to April 30, 1913, a year before the government alleges the Brewbaker distillery op-erated illegally. The Brewbaker plant is the one formerly occupied by the Brock distillery. The indictment concerning the Brock plant charges 100.000 gallons of liquor were distilled at the place and that 75,000 gallons were remov-ed without payment of the custom-ary tax of $1.10 a gallon. Charlotte Outstrips Greensboro. Greensboro is not the only place on the map where a meat Inspection law is being discussed. Charlotte has just passed a law requiring the inspection of all meats offered for sale as human food that goes a bow-shot farther than the Greensboro or-dinance. A farmer desiring to sell fresh meat of his own raising in Char-lotte is required to submit the car-cass of the dead animal, with ail the internal organs, to the city inspector, •nd if the meat is found satisfactory, it will be stamped and the farmer given a writen permit for its sale. A farmer can have his meat inspected inly between the hours of 9 and 10 o'clock in the forenoon on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. POWER COMPANY SECURING RIGHT-OF-WAY FOR LIKE. The Southern Power Company Is continuing to purchase rlghts-of-way for a power transmission line (and perhaps later an electric railway) be-tween Greensboro and Spray and Reldsvllle. It is understood that the work of building the line will be begun as soon as the desired rlghts-of- way are secured and other pre-liminary arrangements made. Dur-ing the present week deeds have been filed conveying rights-of-woy to the Southern Power Company from the following owners of land in the northern part of Guilford county: J. L. Tate, J. A.
