EIGHT PROBES ARE UNDER WAY IN PRISON REVOLT

THINK LEADER WAS SMUGGLED ARMS IN COAL Entire Penitentiary Aware of Impending Riots Via ‘Grapevine.’ 12 LIVES BATTLE TOLL Smoke Still Issues Frcmi Ruins, Representing Loss of $500,000. CANON CITY. Colo., Oct. 5. In the smoke-blackened ruins of the state penitentiary, scene of one of the worst prison riots in modern times, authorities sought today to discover how it could have happened. Investigators for eight agencies were treading the blood-caked corridors of the oellhouse where five embattled convicts held off an army attacking with machine guns and dynamite and calling prisoners from their emergency tents within the peintentiary walls for questioning. Colorado rushed its official investigation as it had its National Guard forces In the battle to quell the rebellion which had claimed twelve lives and caused property damage of $500,000 before the handful of embattled convicts ended the carnage by taking their own lives. Simultaneously the task of cleaning away debris and planning new buildings to take the place of the four destroyed and a fifth badly damaged by fire and dynamite blasts was begun by a reorganized penitentiary force. Governor On Job Governor William H. Adams and other state and federal and county officials personally supervised the intensive search for solution of the mystery of how guns and ammunition were smuggled into the reputedly well-organized penitentiary. They believe some sullen convict among the 1,200 milling about the prison yard knows the answer. Although but a handful of prisoners* had an actual part in the carnage many knew it threatened. Warden F. Eugene Crawford said. A low buzz, of conversation ran through the groups of prisoners and the warden realized the elusive and devious ' underground wires” were humming with comment on the reign of terror.

Sleep on Grounds With smoke still Issuing from the smoldering ruins of cellhouses, fired by the mutineers, many convicts j were forced to sleep on the ground j Friday night. Others were quartered lr. tents supplied by the national guard and additional tents were being erected today. As official agencies sought clews 1 to accomplishes outside the prison • who smuggled in weapons and tp [ possible connivance from within, J they counted the toll of the twenty- i hour rebellion and massacre as fol- j lows: Killed In battle three prison guards. Murdered while In hostage, four guards. Five convicts killed, one, the leader, evidently by his own hand. Seriously wounded, three guards. Others hurt, seven, including . two civilians. Besides that of Governor Adams. Investigations will be conducted by J. Edgar Hoover, chief of the bureau of investigation of the federal de- ; partment of justice; Sanford Bates, director of federal prisons, .state board of corrections, coroner's jury, state civil service commission, state \ military authorities and Warden Crawford. Danny Daniels, who incited the riot in the dining room of the penitentiary Thursday noon which cost the lives of three guards, who shot down other guards in the cell house stronghold, and who finally ended the terror by lining his fellow mutineers against the wall and shooting them to death as a prelude to his suicide, may in death furnish a clew to the conspirators outside, authorities said. Smuggled in Coal Daniels, born in Buffalo, N. Y., but who considered Miami, Okla.. as his home, was a coal heaver in the prison and officials incline to the belief that the weapons were smuggled to him in cars of coal. Father Patrick O’Neill of a local abbey, who risked his life in the prison yard to place dynamite against the building in which the ' mutineers were entrenched and systematically engaged in executing helpless guards, recalled today that his chauffeur, a trusty, remarked shortly before the uprising: "I’m mighty glad I'm being released this aftfrnoon, I think something lively is likely to happen.” What was the reason for the riot? Because the food was poor? The pr-son overcrowded? Guards cruel? Because libeit.es were tco few? The prison "grapevine” claims none of these factors was responsible. The prisoner are satisfied in that Danny Daniels was a “bad man —and more.” And they know what was in Danny's mind when he read in a newspaper that Governor Adams of Colorado never has extended leni.ocy to a convict and there was no indication he would change his attitude. Guards killed in battle or executed later in the campaign to force Warden Crawford to open the prison gates to the desperadoes, were: Walter Hinker, R. P. Brown, E. G. Erwin. Jack J. Eeles. Charles Shepherd, R. A. Wiggins and J. W. McClelland. In addition to Daniels, convicts who died In the riot wire: A. H. krvvte James Pardue, Melvin tßed)

Sunday School Lesson

The International Uniform Sunday School Lesson for Oct. fi. Fulfilling our obligations to others. Mark 12:28-31; James 2:14-17. Bv WM. E. GILROY, D. D. Editor of The Conrregationalist IN the lessons which we have been recently studying concerning the period of the restoration of the Jewish people to Palestine after the exile in Babylon, we have had emphasized the part played by the discovery of the Book of the Law and instruction of the people by competent teachers in the great Ideals expressed in their literature. The use of law and literature, however, depend upon the spirit and intelligence with which that use is made. Literature is an expression of thought and of feeling. The better and greater it is, the more truly inspired, the more inevitably does it come out of great spiritual convictions. When, however, the w r riting in which these great convictions have become expressed becomes to those of a later day largely formal, read and interpreted in the letter with little regard to the spirit that originally called It into being, the law and literature that, properly used, have given inspiration and help, become a barrier to real progress. The Quibbling of Scribes Here in this New Testament lesson we come at once in contact with this limitation of law and literature in their false use to stifle freedom and initative in thought and action. Where the scribes of a former day had interpreted the law in terms of glowing moral convictions, some of these scribes of a later period made the law through their quibbling a stultifying influence upon moral and spiritual life. When Jesus came, speaking with great directness concerning the fundamental truths by which men must live, asserting these things upon the authority of truth itself, the scribes immediately brought to bear upon him the letter of the law.

The particular scribe in the lesson may, of course, have askfd his question concerning the first of all the commandments with some sincerity. Whatever may have been his motive, he gave Jesus occasion to enunciate with great clearness i what he regarded as the sum and substance of. religion. A similar passage in Matthew 22 sets this forth with somewhat more precision than in the passage in Mark chosen for our lesson. There, in Matthew’s account of the matter, we have the record of the two great commandments as stated by Jesus with the added comment "on these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.”' Considering that “the law and the prophets’’ included for the Jew the whole of the Old Testament Scriptures, that was simply a Jewish way of saying “these commandments constitute the whole sum and substance of religion.” Loveth God First It is to be noted that Jesus places as the first of these great commandments the duty of love to God, and

second, though like unto it, is the command to love one’s neighbor as one’s self. Some have suggested that this order is wrong and have quoted the words of John. “If a man love not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?”. But the order in which Jesus placed the two commandments was not a matter of chance. In fact, it ought to be said that back of these two commandments is the great fact of the Gospel that Jesus brought to men—the Gospel concerning the love of God. It is here that the religion of Jesus begins, not in the love to God or in love to man, but in the love of God. It was the proclamation concerning the love of God that constituted the Gospel that Jesus brought to man. Here It is in some measure that the old religion and the new religion meet, the old religion laying much stress upon doctrine and taken up largely with individual life, faith and character, the new religion placing its chief emphasis upon the social side of the Gospel and the expression of Christianity in social relationships. There is no dscrepancy or cleavage between these two types of religion. No man can have Christian faith or Christian character without becoming immediately a fact and a factor in social redemption. The great purpose of the Gospel is world salvation. The fact is written on almost* every page -of the New Testament, and there is no such thing as real or vital Christianity apart from the social purposes of the Gospel. Hence it was that Jesus gave distinctiveness to the religion of Israel by reviving and emphasizing what the great prophets had declared before him. He brought religion out from the letter of the law into reality. He made the words of the ancient prophets glow with new and immediate application to the life of his own time. No Faith Without Works The fact that there can be no real expression of true religion without its manifestation in practical daily living needs constant emphasis. Even in the early days of the church in the generations succeeding that in which Jesus had given his great teaching and while those who had listened to his words were still living, it was necessary, as in the Book of James, to point out that there is no real faith without works, that ail the professed faith in the world and all the protestation of belief in Christ that one can make avails nothing unless it manifests itself in character and life. The fact is so simple that one would think it would never be disputed, and yet the crying sin of Christiandcm, the thing that has blighted and blasted churches, has been the making of religion a matter of creed and profession with a disregard of its expression in the | ordinary relationships of life in ! home, business and _

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

LEADERS SHUN TARIFF TEST Can Not Muster Votes to Bar Industry Rates. Hu United Prra* WASHINGTON, Oct. 5. The lone-hand play of Senator Elmer Thomas (Dem., Okla.) to strip the tari ft'bill of all industrial rate increases caused'a scurrying of leaders on both sides of the senate chamber today. The far mßepublicans and Democratic strategists, who have been working in a coalition on the ball, favor Thomas’ motion in theory but disagree over the advisability of pressing it at this time. Preliminary checks of strength indicate they would have a hard fight to adopt such a motion and it is possible that, by unanimous consent of all save Thomas, action may be indefinitely deferred. Farm members, such as Senator Borah of Idaho, feel they can get more vote from both Republicans and Democrats by fighting against each individual industrial increase than they could on the broad proposition of Thomas. They have asked Thomas to let the matter go over until next week and -he has consented. Thomas admits he did not consult any of the leaders before serving notice he would make a motion to recommit the bill to the finance committee with instructions to preserve only the farm increases. “There is nothing in this bill for my state," Thomas said. “There is nothing in the bill for agriculture, so why not have done with It now?” Farm bloc members believe they could not master their full strength as they did when they defeated the flexible provision this week, 47 to 42. It appeared likely, therefore, the coalition leaders will reaqh a decision during the week-end to fight industrial increases on each individual rate apd shelve the Thomas action.

PREMIER'S VISIT IS NOT SOLELY PEACEMISSION MacDonald and Hoover Are Expecte dto Discuss Many Things. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS, Scripps-Howard Foreirn Editor WASHINGTON, Oct. s.—" The time has come, the walrus said, To talk of many things, Os ships and sails, and sealing wax. Os cabages, and kings.” It may be accepted as a foregone conclusion that the British premier, Ramsay MacDonald, who arrived in this country Friday, will say something ike this to President Hoover when he reaches the White House, or President Hoover will say it to Premier MacDonald. They certainly will not confine their conversations to the "ships and sails” of naval limitation. Until the late .war and, to a certain extent since that time, the rulers of the world had the habit of paying state visits to one another and discussing their respective problems, thereby arriving at some definite, general policy concerning them. President Hoover and Premier MacDonald will do something like that. Os course neither can bind his government to any definite course of action In any such manner, even on naval limitation, but there is nothing to prevent Ihem from airing their views on AngloAmerican problems of whatever nature. MacDonald would not be MacDonald, and Hoover would not be Hoover did they not seek to learn all they can from each other. Twitted by Tories Premier MacDonald is known to feel that it is not always the obvious thing that plays the most mischief in international affairs. He twitted, before he came into power, by the Tories who charged it was danger that the trade and financial policy of a British Labor government would make co-operation with America impossible, he said: “There is far more menace to the friendly relations between America and ourselves in anew tariff bill introduced in Washington, or in a tariff reform agitation conducted here from Tory headquarters, certainly far more i nthe feeble handling by our government of the disgraceful conduct of the liquor interests in conspiring to violate the law of America.” Trade Viewpoints Palpably, the British statesman is not going to discuss pending legislatibn in the United States in his official capacity. He is far too well versed in diplomatic usage to be guilty of any such error. But privately, as man to man, if Mr. Hoover should ask Mr. MacDonald’s views on this and that, Mr. MacDonald, no doubt, would state them quite frankly and amicably, giving Mr. Hoover the benefit of the European point of view. And just as frankly and amicably Mr. Hoover would reciprocate. In thisc andidt exchange, both stand to profit enormously. It is more than the chance of a lifetime. Such a thing never has ahppened before in the history of AngloAmerican relations, and it should mean much in understanding. Today the nations of the old world are discussing the creation of a United States of Europe. Obviously its main purpose is not to create a political union, like the United States of America, but to form an economic, industrial and tariff union to offset the handicap which the American high tariff wall Imposes. Mr. Hoover, in his private caoacitl, likely will learn a lot about this important development from his distinguished visitor.

shall put men there to make cases.” Judge Bock declared that nothing was done after he had given three prohibition agents, headed by Wright, the names of “big fellows” in the liquor business and that Wright has declared: “You can’t make us get those fellows.” Several raids netting “big fellows” have been made recently in Evansville, Browning said.

Ogden, attorney general, has informed Dr. Edward C. Elliott, Purdue university president. In requesting the opinion, Dr. Elliott said aviators sometimes fly so low as to endanger spectators’ lives, and to disturb the players. Disturbing a public assemblage is punishable by a fine of $5 to SSO. More serious penalty is provided by a newer law, which provides fines up to SSOO and imprisonment of not more than one year fox aviators who fly so low as to endanger lives of persons on the ground.

USE OF LOBBY CASH TO CHIEF PROBE QUERY Senator Caraway Believes Inquiry Should Aim to Find Corruption. Bu ftcripps-llmcard Ynrspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Oct. s.—The possibly corrupt expenditure of the millions of dollars annually contributed for lobbying at the capital should be the chief objective of the senatorial committee to be appointed to investigate lobbies and lobbyists, in the opinion of Senator Caraway of Arkansas, sponsor of the inquiry. “I don't care so much where the money comes from," said Caraway, ‘although we can save the American people from being mulcted of minions and business interests from spending money needlessly. What I want to know is where It goes. Who gets it, what does he do with it and can he affect legislation? "The money often comes from the gullible, as it did in the case of the Shipbuilders, and it Is passed on to an individual, like Shearer. But the great question Is where It is finally deposited.” • Small Lobbies Important Caraway and Senator Norris will appoint the investigating body. Though the major lobbies will be the tariff, tax. Muscle Shoals, Army and Navy, peace and war. power and immigration groups that seek special favors or leglsation, there are smaller bodies that will come under scrutny. “The lesser known lobibes are as important as the big ones,” said Caraway. "Those headed by men like Joseph S. Grundy, have a semblance 1 of interets in their work. But the workers for special bills, the advocates of selfish legislation, are the ones who create a public impression that their government and their legislators are daily bought and sold over the counter.”
