‘FLEECING' IS CHARGE FLUNG AT WATER CO. Property Owners Declare Charges for Connections ‘Much Too High.’ Charges for water connections made during construction paving projects were protested again today by East New York street property owners who appeared before the works board. The ten property owners, who said they represented all owners along the newly resurfaced and widened street from Colorado street to Emerson avenue, charged that sls for moving a water box a few feet is much too high. Their demands for relief from such "extra charges” were similar to those issued by Emerson avenue property owners a few days ago. Owners on both New York street and Emerson avenue argue that the $2 a foot, paid the contractor for water connections, is exorbitant. Works board members informed both groups that "property owners have the right to hire a private plumber to do the work, providing it is done before the contractor starts the improvement project.” Special notices to the effect now are being mailed to all owners of property where connections or wa-ter-box changes appear necessary. New York street representatives contend that the expense of w r ater connections ought to be borne by the water company. ‘‘Other utilities do not impose high charges for bringing their products to our doors,” they told the board, referring to the gas and electric companies. A charge of about $5 Is made by the gas company for connecting homes w’ith the gas main, it was pointed out.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES r

WARDEN SHOT WHEN CONVICTS ESCAPE PRISON Desperate Long-Termers Recaptured After Mad Dash for Liberty. (Continued from Page One) village of Glendale and attempted again to change cars. The school teacher who owned the automobile came out of the building, saw the men in her car, and demanded what they were doing. One of the men slapped the teacher in the face, according to reports received in Leavenworth, and told her to get back into the school and ‘‘mind her business." Reports reaching Leavenworth said the bandits, apparently fearing the immediate approach of a posse, abandoned attempts to take the teacher’s car, returned to the automobile they had stolen from the Negro hunters, and drove west. Utmost confusion prevailed at the penitentiary for more than an hour after the escape. All available guards were summoned. Appeal was made to the police and fire departments of Leavenworth and the county sheriff’s office, and troops were called from Fort Leavenworth. A picket line was thrown around the prison nearly a quarter mile from the walls in every direction. Detachments of soldiers entered the courtyard, machine guns were placed on the walls, and possibility of a general outbreak among the prisoners was halted. Routine schedules were suspended and the convicts ordered to their cells. Today’s outbreak was the second major disturbance in the Leaven-

worth penitentiary in a little more than two years. In August, 1929, about 2,200 convicts, by prearranged plans, rioted in the mess hall. The riot became general, with convicts attacking the guards with knives and dining hall utensils. Guards turned three fire hose on the mutinous convicts, but the prisoners wrested the hose from the guards and turned the streams on them. Two guards almost were drowned. Mike Martiney, a convict, was killed when guards opened fire on a group of convicts. The gunfire quelled the rioters and all returned to their cells in less than an hour. The rioting followed general uneasiness which was brought to public attention by the murder of Robert Warnke, a prison employe working in the laundry. The riot broke out a few days later, on Aug. 1, 1929. No prisoners escaped, fifty were njured, none seriously. Two guards were hurt. In 1901 the prison had its most serious outbreak. One convict was killed trying to escape and three were killed while resisting recapture some time later. This riot occurred while the present penitentiary was under construction.

SENATE SCANS TWO JOBLESS RELIEF BILLS La Follette and Costigan Put Measures Up, Defying Hoover’s Views. By Scripps-Howard Xctcspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.—Two federal unemployment relief measures, one by a Republican and one by a Democrat, are before the senate today for consideration, while echoes of President Hoover's message, declaring his opposition “to any direct or indirect government dole,” scarcely had died away. One bill, by Senator Robert M. La Follette, proposes that $250,000,000 be n.ade available for relief work immediately. The other, by Senator James P. Costigan, would provide $125,000,000 for relief until next July, and $250,000,000 for the year following. Both propose that the money be

i i distributed to the states, and by them, or by agencies working under them, be allocated to relieve suffering. La Follette pointed out in connection with his bill, that acceptance of funds is optional with each state, and that his relief plan is in har- ! monv with the President’s contention that relief should be adminis- ; tered locally. The La Follette bill nrovides for appointment of a federal emergency , relief board ol three members, each to receive SIO,OOO a year. It makes, j the chief of the Children’s Bureau I executive officer of the board. Miss Grace Abbott occupies this position and La Follette points out that she has had greater experience in relief | work than any other officer of the I federal government, j Costigan's bill would put adminI istration of relief funds in the hands I of the chief of the Children’s Bu- : reau, chief of the vocational rehabilitation service of the board for | vocational education, and the director of the extension service of I the department of agriculture. Both bills suggest use of wheat i held by the Grain Stabilization j Corporation for relief of the needy, i La, Follette would have his board purchase the wheat; Costigan would i require the corporation to donate it. 1
