final period while running up seven points to make the final score read ' 24 to 15. The Yellow Jackets seemed tired 1 after their strenuous battle with Huntington in the afternoon and weakened somewhat in the final quarter of the Bluffton struggle. Coach Curtis inserted four reserves i in an effort to gain scoring power but the attempt failed. After all is said and done, Bluffton was just too good Saturday night. By virtue of their victory in the regional tourney, the Tigers won the 1 right to meet the Frankfort Hot' Dogs in tho first round of the stale ' 1 final meet. This game will be play-• ’ cd at 2p. m. Friday in the Butler field house at Indianapolis. 1 Coach Herb Curtis started J. Hill land Snedeker at the forward posts, 1 Schnepp at Center and Deßolt and Zerkle, guards. For Bluffton, Coach Templin started and finished with Bender and Emshwiller forwards, Hesher center, and Hector and Wainock, guards. First Quarter Decatui; took the first tipoff, J Hill picking the ball out of a mess of players. Deßolt hit a long one from side center to give Decatur a 2-0 lead. Warnock counted Bluff-. ton’s first point when he was fouled by Snedeker. The Yellow Jackets increased their lead to three points I when Deßolt worked loose under the basket to cage a short shot. Zerkle fouled Bender and the big Tiger forward registered a point. WarInock dribbled the length of the floor and sank one to tie the score when decatur defense was crossed up. Decatur called timeout with halt of the first quarter gone. On resumption of play, Bluffton took the lead for the first time in the game when Emshwiller dribbled in to sink a two-pointer. Bender followed in a shot and tipped the ball in to increase the Tigers’ lead to four points. Hesher made one and missed one when fouled by Deßolt. Rector scored a point when Beßolt fouled him, giving Bluffton a 10-4 lead at the quarter. Second Quarter A double foul was called on Rector and J. Hill and both men sank their foul tosses, making the scory 11-5, Bluffton. J. Hill made one ami missed one when hacked by War-, nock. Zerkle snagged a basket on a follow in. J. Hill hit a medium length shot from the side and Bluff- 1 ton called time with the Tigers hold ing a 11-10 lead, and three minutes of the half left to play. J. Hill mulled a chance to tie the score before the half ended when ho was fouled by Emshwiller. Third Quarter Deßolt tied the score at 11-11 soon after the start of the second lialf when he registered on Rector’s personal. Bender gave Bluffton a lead which the Tigers never relinquished when he sank a one-hand-ed shot from the side. Rector increased the margin to four points when he was loose underneath. DecaTttr called time with three minutes of the period played. Coffee replaced Snedeker in .the Yellow Jacket lineup. Hesher was loose underneath the basket for his only basket of the game.

RUM RUNNERS ARE CAPTURED (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) Tlie SBO,OOO cargo of the trawler and crew of three were seized by tlie coast guard patrol boat CG-212. The CG-808 rescued the four-man crew of the speedboat before It sank. While coast guards were firing one-pounders nt fleeing craft offshore, state police at the Groton barracks received a report that men and trucks were gathering at the Griswold dock. Officers dispatched to tlie scene under Gergeant George Weber encountered the empty trucks speeding away. Apparently the shots had warned the shore party that a contact was unlikely. INQUIRY INTO KILLING STARTS (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) Starling. Three young Wilmington girls were found to be in the truck, but were uninjured. One of them. Elizabeth Hines, said she was driving because Roberts had complained of a headache. It was said Roberts often had carried passengers with him. Roberts and Starling, the two victims, were said to be relatives by marriage. o FEAR FURTHER OUTBREAKS IN JOLIET PRISON I (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) ' tlie riot while we have the men I confined,” said Warden Henry C. I Hill, “but who can say what will 1 happen when they are given their j usual privileges?” As special guards paced beats ; outside the prison walls and others I stood ready upon a moment’s warm jing to man the newly-installed ma- ' chine guns, curses, jeers and catI calls were heard from the cells Sunday while members of a legislative committee investigated the disorders and their results. Shouts of “when do we eat?” were heard frequently from the men who had been served no food since they tore up the mess hall and scattered provisions about the place during the Saturday noon j hour. State Representatives Rog|er F. Little. Harry McCaskrin, M. |E. Bray, and William G. Thorn, [yesterday made a preliminary inspection tour of the prison. Escorted by Warden Hill, they examined the mess hall, where the riot started in which Albert Yarbeck. Jr., 23, Chicago, was killed i when a guard shot into a group of I convicts who were beating Capt. D. A. Davenport, head mess hall I guard. After the committee had completed their inspection and had conversed with an unnamed prisoner, Representative McCaskrin said lie believed decisions of the board of pardons and paroles had precipitated the riot. Other members intimated that n investigation of this board might be made after further inspection. They insisted, however, that no cause for any of tlie recent outbreaks could lie determined until a more complete examination had been made. The recent series of prison breaks began more than two weeks ago when three convicts were shot and killed by guards as they scaled the prison walls in the early morning in a well-planned escape attempt. It was reported today that Chaplain George Whitmeyer, who resigned she day after the killing, quit because lie disapproved of the guards killing the men outside the walls instead of stopping them before they got outside. The death of Joseph Coakley, solitary confinement prisoner, in cell last week prompted an investigation in which officials were relieved of all responsibility. Hardly had this matter been cleared up when the open mutiny was started. o PRESIDENT WILL VISIT INDIES (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) tatlons to spend a genuine vacation in some expensive southern resort. It is understood he does not feel justified in idling in some rich man’s playground while there is widespread suffering in the country. The ten-day West Indian tour is in line with this attitude. Both Porto Rico and the Virgin Islands have stiffen’d heavily physically and economically in recent years. Porto Rico, of which Theodore Roosevelt is governor, is under the jurisdiction of the war department. The Virgin Islands recent ly tame under the administration of the interior department, having been controllcxl previously by the navy. This accounts for tlie presence of Hurley and Wilbur on the trip While Mr. Hoover may be able

to spend not more titan a day in each place, it is felt that even such a brief visit will be of great value. The Virgin Islands were purchased from Denmark in 1917 for military reasons. They have a total area of only 133 square i miles, with a ixtpulation of 20,00(1. Tlie latter has been shrinking rapidly of lute due to heavy migration of native negroes to New York City. Women now outnuml»er the men by 20 per cent. There Mr. Hoover will see government buildings erected by the painful toil of slaves — beautiful stone structures rising from the bodies of primitive, densely ignorant negroes of the period before 1848. He will see startling and depressing contrasts —historic old landmarks centuriies older than the government he represents — squalid atul rudimentary native huts — tiwering, matchless royal palms. He will see a pathetic people impoverished—well nigh forgotten tor years—their formerly lucrative export trade in rum and bay rum gone. He will see Islands that have been devastated by earthquakes — islands foredoomed by geologists to oblivion when some gigantic future earth tremor engulfs them. The Porto Rican vista, while depressing, will be brighter to some extent due to the recent assiduous efforts of Governor Roosevelt to mitigate the lot of tlie natives — to build up waning industry and | introduce new trades — to foster education and better social conditions. Yet here too, will suffering j meet his eye—suffering from the blighting breatli of inexorable hurricanes. He will see extremes of beauty and squalor—broad sugar and coffee plantations controlling the fertile land, while native laborers, few of whom own an acre, dwell in palm thatched huts or crazy I abodes of scantling witli galvaiii ized iron roofs. o HOOVER NAMES NEW SECRETARY (CONTINUED FROM President. Tlie appointment will complete Mr. Hoover's corps of secretaries, the third being Lawrence Richey. The Boston newspaperman is 41 years old. He was born in Leominster. Mass. His newspaper career includes service with the Associated Press from 1908 to 1913 und in Boston for the Transcript from 1913 to 1925. Since 1925 he has lx>en political correspondent in Washington. • o « Fireplace Heating Among the advantages of heating a room with a fireplace may he . listed ttie fuct that the fireplace takes little space, its disadvan tages are Its low efficiency, uneven heating and frequent enre required SIX ARE SHOT, FIVE KILLED IN AUTO ACCIDENTS (CONTINUED FROAI PAGE ONE) an invented errand last Friday.

When Fisher asked Ireland to accompany him lie told tlie deputy it was unnecessary to take a gun as he “knew” tlie brothers would not resist. At the farm, the sheriff was reading tlie warrant to William Taibutt when Scott stepped suddenly from a corn crib and opened fire witli a shotgun, killing Fisher instantly. Ireland, unarmed, ran.
