melina. two prisoners, to escape late
Sunday night or early yesterday morn-

mine whether the tire doors from thel
corridor to the boiler- -room were left

According to reports originating in
Hartford the state police department
has received orders to conduct a mer-
ciless camputgn throughout the state
against petty gambling devices, lot-
teries and other games of chance.
The report has caused considerable
of a furore in those cities and terms
of the state in which such things are
overlooked, especially as it is said
that policemen have visited
many places for the purpose of collect
lug evidence.
Thousands of petty devices calcu-
lated to catch pennies and nickels are
being operated in Connecticut cities
and towns. The police of some places
have stopped petty gambling of this
nature, but in other places it is not
interferred with and it is said that
many complaints hays reached the.
state authorities. in some places
children have been squandering their
pennies in catch- penny schemes in
which candy and glmcrac‘ks are of-
fered as prizes. :8 1‘4. '
