‘HONOR’ CONVICTS IN ILLINOIS STAGE WILD UPRISING

5 BUILDINGS BURN IN RIOT OF PRISONERS Four Men Are Shot, Dozen Others Hurt in Fighting at ‘Farm.’ TROOPS ARE ON GUARD Outbreak Among ‘FirstTermers’ Flares When Escape Fails. 'Ey United Press VANDALIA. 111., May 25.—Four men were shot, a dozen others were injured In hand to hand fighting, and five state buildings lay In ruin today as the result of the latest outbreak in the series of riots that have flamed during recent months in Illinois penal institutions. Probably four persons escaped. With the bayonets of national guardsmen bristling around the barbed-wire inclosed farm and the ‘ honor” prisoners apparently subdued after a short but mad riot during which they burned their dormitories, officials felt certain all danger of trouble was past at the state farm for misdemeanants about a mile from here. Unlike the riots held in other prisons in recent months in protest to treatment, Sunday night’s riot here was said by officials to be directly the result of the failure of iour men in an attempt to escape. All the 600 prisoners had known for weeks, Superintendent C. J. Metzger said, that the break was planned. He had known of it also and had placed special guards around the farm. Four Named In Break The four men named in the break were Charles Rogers, William Simonds, Arthur Ragan and Charles Lewis. They were crawling under the fence, it was said, when the guards ordered them to halt. 'File men stood up and started to run, but surrendered when peppered with buckshot. None was hurt seriously. The shots awakened other prisoners. The riot started. The buildings were fired one after another. Police and firemen rushed from Vandalla. Scores of citizens joined them in surrounding the farm to prevent escape. Inside the fences the prisoners shouted and danced about the burning buildings. When officers tried to enter the gates, the convicts drove them back with clubs and stones. Dozen Hurt in Fighting About a dozen were injured in the hand-to-hand fighting. Police Chief C. A. Hubbard was among these.. He was knocked unconscious by a rock, but recovered quickly. - The national guards were rushed here by Governor Louis L. Emmerson and soon after their arrival the prisoners became quiet. Destruction of the buildings was said not to be of great importance “fto they W'ere old and not valued at more than SIO,OOO. They were to be destroyed soon. Colonel Frank Whipp, superintendent of state prisons, arrived at the farm shortly after the riot was quelled. He agreed that it was not a part of general prison unrest in the state, but a direct result rather of the escape plot. Five Buildings Destroyed The five buildings destroyed by flames were old frame structures. Anew and modern dormitory has -been erected and will be ready for occupancy within a few days. The farm here is an “honor” institution in fact as well as name. The windows of its dormitories are not barred. No wall surrounds it, although there is a double fence, barred and fifteen feet high. The men sent here are first offenders. Prisoners do not wear prison garb. During the daytime they are allowed almost perfect freedom, except that they must work. -CHANGE UTILITY VALUES T.

In fact, on a few lines now, the airplane ticket is less than the combined rail and Pullman fare. Demand for airplane passenger service is increasing rapidly. More people are flying today than ever before. Almost every month shows an increase in airplane passenger traffic. Air express and airmail are also increasing rapidly.

nes which now touch virtually evi planes, it will be possible for the air transport companies to use large planes. In place of the present small planes, we shall see giant planes, powered by many motors, carrying from thirty-five to fifty passengers on every trip. Between large cities these planes will be operated on hourly schedules. Small planes operated from smaller cities will act as feeders. Another factor which will bring dow r n cost of airplane tickets is the progress in airplane manufacturing. The industry already has begun to make so many operating and manufacturing economies that a plane w’hich sold in 1929 for SBO,OOO now may be purchased for less than $55,000. And today’s plane is a better one than last year’s. It costs approximately SIOO,OOO to build a modem sleeping car. An airplane with the same passenger capacity costs from $20,000 to $25,000 less.

ry section of the United States. own motive power, W’hile the railway car must depend on a costly locomotive. a a a Tl/TUCH of the cost of railroad A transportation is the result of the necessity of hauling heavy equipment. Weight considered, airplane engines develop more pow’er than any known motive force. For example, the engines that pull the Twentieth Century Limited weigh approximately 150 pounds for every horse power developed; we now have airplane engines that develop 1-horse power for every fivesixths of a pound of total weight. Another factor in the high cost of railroad fares is the millions of dollars w’hich must be invested in stations, rights-of-way, bridges, switching facilities, repair shops, coaling stations, etc. Thousands of miles of track, millions of ties, hundreds of bridges, many of which are damaged every year by floods—all these necessities in railroading are absent from the operating costs of air transport companies. Many railroad passenger terminals are located in congested districts, w’here land values are high and where costly track elevations are necessary. Interest on the money tied up in these terminals eats up a huge share of railroad revenues. Most airports are located on comparatively inexpensive land, in suburban districts. a a a IN comparing railroad travel with air travel, we must remember that the railroads have been developing for many years. They have had a long time to bring their organization to a high standard of efficiency. Prior to 1927 there was virtually no regularly scheduled passenger transport air services. In these three years a network of airlines, manned by. efficient and careful pilots and ground crews have been built up. Millions of dollars, have been invested in planes and landing fields. The very fact that our airlines can continue to operate under present conditions, with only a fraction of the total traveling public now patronizing them is, to me, positive proof that it is only a few years until the bulk of first-class, longdistance travel will be by air. Development of aviation is being hampered by the need for more landing fields. In the country there are about 1,600 airports. a a a PLANS for 1,410 additional airports are under way. But even when these are completed, much will remain to be done to provide needed facilities for the rapidly growing airplane industry. When I visited Los Angeles in 1925 there was but one field—Clover field. Today there are fifty-six airports in the Los Angeles district. A lot more than just a flat, open field is required for an airport. Many present fields need to be leveled and drained. Nearly all fields need additional hangars and better runways, as well as improved facilities for taking care of passenger traffic. One of the greatest needs in many airports is improved lighting facilities. A large proportion of airports have no lighting facilities at all. This means that as far as nisjht flying is concerned these airports are useless. NEXT: Future trans-Atlantic travel.
