C., WEDNESDAY, D)ECEMBER 29. 1920 PLOT TO FREE ALL CONVICTS OFFICIALS SAY Pine Bluff Machine Gun Comlpany Called Out by Governor of Ark kansas and Sent to Farms FOR WHOLESALE DELIVERY Two Men Serving Life Terms for Mur der Among Those Planned for Rek-ase Among First. Little Rock, Ark., Dec. 28.-Reliable reports of a widespread plot to free convicts in the state's penal institution were responsible for the mobilization of the Pine Bluff machine gun com pany of the Arkansas national guard, alording to a statemenl, tonight b.y Governor Brough. The plot, the gov ernar said, wats reported to him by penitentiary officials and ' Iivolvel plans for the release of Tom Slaught er ant Fulton Green, Oklahoma out jaws, now serving life sentences for murder. Slaughter and Green are confined at the penitentiary at Little Rock and principal precautions are to be taken there, but it was learned detach ments of the Piine Bluff company also will be sent to the state farms at Tucker, where white convicts are confined, an-I to Cummings, where negro convicts are imprisonled. Thu governor's ac tion in calling out troops fo'lowed a conflerence todagv wjth 'pentitenitiary nd military authorities, during which' it was stated the reports of the plot were given out. He said it waw; no: known how widespread the plans may be. No Details Given Governor lBrough declined to discuss details of the reported plot, and the plans of the state authorities to coun teract it, but stated that the troops would be kept o nduty long enough to prevent the contemplated escape and, niake practically impossible carrying out plans for a wvhclesale delivery Int er. The governor also declined to say whether the plot included repOrts of outside aid to the convics, as was the case several days ago when trusties at the penitentiary confessed that a sini htr plot was on foot to release Slaugh ter, Green and other convicts. Fyom other sources it was learned th't the troops stationed at the peni tentiary will conduct P. thorough search of the! convicts and the build ings within the walls for saws, wea pons or other tools or ialteril.s which might be used in an escape, and under orders from the governor prohibite'l any visitors within the walls. The troops detailed to Little Rock were scheduled to arrive shortly after 8 o'clock. Six of the 12 prisoners who escaped from the state convict farm at Tucker Sunday nigit were relported today as surrounded on an island in the Arkan-. sas rive'r near Pastoria, Ark. Two of I the men were recaptured shortly after the escape was staged. There was no information as to the whereabouts of the other four. Soldiers Leave for Posts Pine Blutl'.

The good looks says, "That the crave of money s the root of All evil," and with the recent years o, intense prosperity we lave enjoyed we are litt'e afraid that ve were becoming a little jealous of !ach other's wealth; and one of the vays to prev.nt money-making is to 'salt down" or not allow too much n circulation and when the initial nove iml any matter is started thous inds will follow in puirstuit.

A ter a week's ime he reported to the committee that ie had reached a decision and that wis hat he would have one of his eyes aken out which of com.se meant that >oth eyes of' his neighbors' should be n. This seems to illustrate to zome extent at least the spiit of our leople during the great wave of pros erity we have passed through, almost 'very man wanted to be considered the nost energetic, wealthiest, etc. But with'all the guessing as to vhat the new year or the new national dmimiistration will bring forth no one anows no more than we know.
