One at a time four ot the guards whom the convicts had taken as hostages were executed by Danny's firing squad and their bodies pitched out the windows. One of the guards who escaped execution by carrying an ultimatum from Daniels to the warden described the scene inside the cell house. The guards were asked first if they had said their prayers and then shot down where they stood without a chance to defend themselves. On the other side of the law and order. Josephine Roche, secretary to the warden and Father Patrick O’Neil prison chaplain, were the surviving heroes of the riots. Miss Roche remained at her post during the early stages of the outbreak and had the presence of mind to call for the Canon city high school riot unit to supplement the work of prison guards until Warden Crawford could return to the prison from a business trip to Colorado Springs. I’pon his arrival he called for national guard airplanes, an howitzer company from the state militia and organised a citizens unit of 500 men who stood guard outside the prison during the rest of the battle. Father O’Neil’a opportunity for heroism came when the warden called for a volunteer to carry a charge of dynamite to the base of the convict's fortress through the exposure of the prison yard. Many felt that the assignment meant certain death for the man who undertook it. Father O'Neil came forward. “Lut me go,” he said. ‘‘l can’t stand watching this any longer. The national guardsmen laid down a barrage of machine gun fire to cover the priest's movements. He carried one charge of dynamite to a corner of the cell house. It failed to explode. Then another barrage was laid down and the chaplain placed the dynamite close to the west wall of the cell house. It tore a great hole in* the earth and shattered the windows of the prison. With each blast or fusillade of gunfire shrieks came from the rear of | the cell house where approximately 150 prisoners cowered in fear after refusing to take part Jn little Danny Daniels’ “party.” Earlier in the troubled night Danuy had appeared before them in the uniform of one of the guards he had captured and tried to induce them to Join him and his five companions, "ho at that time were holding a total °f 16 guards as hostages. Os that number seven were murdered, Including J. J. Elies, prison hangman and oldest, guard at the institution; four were wounded and five were set free to carry the bodies °f the comrades and terms of peace back to prison officials. Warden Crawford, whose head was grazed by a shotgun slug during the fiercest of the fighting, estimated after the riot had been quelled that property damage to the prison would amount to $300,000, He said the three bnildings which were burned would have tp be replaced and that extensive repairs would be necessary tor several other buildings.

also has a comedy interest, and Harry Knapp plays that party. A night scene is enacted during which a thief mysteriously enters and robs the safe of S7OO which Ezra and Bedelia have saved to pay off their mortgage. The scene then shifts to New York where all of Sweetheart Town has gone in search of Joe Brooks, Martin Pierce and the Zebra specialist, all of whom are suspected of taking the S7OO. Each difficulty is cleverly disposed of and a thrilling climax is shown. Musical numbers by several characters cleverly sung and acted, add much to the show. The "hits" of the show are the professor and l:<s sweetheart, Tillie, whose ragtime wedding, enacted in the second act. furnishes much mirth. The choruses are clever and have beautiful costumes, adding much by their dancing and singing to the show. The production will be repeated to-1 night at the high school auditorium, the curtain rising at 8:15 o'clock. o Mr. and Mrs. George Sho-'enbergl

DENOUNCES DRY AGENTS' ACTIONS Evansville .Judge “Ties Into” Enforcement Men For Laxity Evansville, Ind., Oct. 4. — (U.S) — Charges that federal prohibition agents refuse to make raids in Evansville have been made by Circuit Judge Charles Bock, in what is said to be the worst denunciation ever handed down from the bench in Vanderburgh county. “Federal Agent C. R. Wright told me, 'We don't have to make the arrest',” Judge Hock declared. The court vented its ire during the trial of Alex Stern, who was fined >3OO and given six months suspended penal farm term. Stern was arrested by police and one of the witnesses for the state was William Dochelman, head of the police dry squad, it was at Drochelman that Judge Bock directed criticism ot dry law enforcement work, and added a measure of censure for city and county officials. Referring to a visit of federal dry agents to his office, Judge Bock said: “They asked me for a list of violators, and I gave them 10 names. C. R. Wright came back and we talked about the list 1 had given him, as I had never heard any of the places had been raided. He said: 'You cafl't make me arrest these fellows.’ I told him that if they didn’t do their duty, I intended to tie into them, also that federal agents were just like the sheriff and police. I told them 1 was wasting my time talking to them about violations. Every day I receive i a number of letters and telephone i calls about bootlegging dives." | o MAY ASK FOR INVESTIGATION (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) into private hands. Chairman Jones of the commerce committee said he would withhold comment on the report until he had studied McCarl's charges. “Everyone has known all along that the ships were being sold for much FLOWERS We now have a supply of Tulip and Hyacinth Bulbs for Fall planting.

less than they were worth," he said. “And as far as the Irregularity is concerned, some irregularities might be exvicted In such a large operation “However, if the charges prove serious Irregularities I think the President should make the investigation with trained accountants rather than congress.''
