MYSTERIOUS PROBLEM SOLVED BY WARDEN OF COLUMBUS PRISON (By Associated Press) COLUMBUS. O.. Feb. 5. Calling to mind the village gossip, and how quickly news travels in a small town soiv. ed a worrisome, and apparently mysa t i . f b a, O AAA te.rioii. nrnhWn. affecting some 2.000 i convicts, for Warden Preston E. Thomas of the Ohio penitentiary here. Secret and, to all appearances, mysterious means of communication between prisoners in penitentiaries and big correctional institutions cease to be puzzling when human nature is considered, in the opinion of Warden Thomas. Noted Criminals Held. When Thomas took charge of the big grey stone prison here, known for the many criminal characters it has housed, including Morgan of Morgan's Raiders of Civil war times; Cassie Chadwick of more recent times, and lately "Red Shirt" Morgan and "Billy" Goldman, he was worried and puzzled at the apparently inexplicable way news of a confidential or quasi-secret nature quickly became known to the prisoners shut up in their cells. "Prisoners are gossips, worse than any small town talker. They have nothing else to do. Their minds are working all the time. They like to ' -J - I talk, and whisper knowingly beninu their hands. That's the answer," said I Thomas. Before he arrived at that conclusion, the warden continued, he had dilligently and painstakingly probed thelories of secret sign languages, unknown channels of communication, systems of rapping on cell doors, and eVe.u telepathic means. "i was Up against it, until I sheared the problem of all its mysteriousness, and stopped to think that there is only one way news travels in any large gathering by word of mouth," Thomas continued. Guards and Officials Talk. "Of course prisoners had to get the word some way. I investigated, that and found dishonest guards and even some officials to blame. They would drop a word here and there to prisoners, whom they wanted to impress upon that they were 'in the know." "Prison life makes men suspicious, developes their minds to a remarkable degree. It makes inveterate gossips of them. They 'buzz, buzz,' worse . . n. 1 . 1 than anv old woman. Their minds are constantly tuned up to catch the slightest word affecting them. A word here, another there, and their minds, with nothing else to do piece together 4 complete story. Sometimes they conjure right from scraps of conversation. "Often times. I've told a guard, or official I suspected, a lie, concerning the prisoners. In every instance it would be known to practically every man in the penitentiary in a short time. "The homilv that walls have ears is one way to prevent prisoners from at least Knowing a pari 01 ujuuh6 might want to keep a secreet. That is not to tell it to a soul.

ANTI-RED PROPAGANDA TAUGHT IN WISCONSIN UNIVERSITY COURSE Py Assocla-ted Press) RACINE, Wis., Feb. 5.Believing! that the only method of effectively combatting Socialism, Bolshevism, I. W. W.-ism and the other revolutionary groups is by meeting them on their own grounds with 'soap-box versus soap-box' and 'soap-boxer versus soapboxer,' the Constitutional Defense League of Racine has established here ! the world's first Soap Box University. students are being trained to meet the revolutionary agitator with all of his own weapons, and it is planned to turn out an alumnae of propagandists who will be able to counter every , ialist agitation by their J inuv 01 Duciansv Hguuiiuu ny t

knowledge of the Socialist cag oriciusively by prices in

tricks." The university is the outgrowth of the experience of a grouo of ex-service men who formed the Constitutional Defense League more than a year ago . in order to vigorously fight Socialism in Wisconsin. They say they realized at the beginning that much of the propaganda that has been waged in the past against Socialism has been wasted. For one thing, it hasn't reached thf audience that the' Socialists talk 1 to; it hasn t. been founded upon a knowledge of the psychology of the radicals. r-ouow socialists' ivietnoas. The Constitutional Defense League, linear 1lna lr.o.T.fiir-v r, f Ta r L- fVRrlon under the leadership of Jack O'Brien, of this city, decided to try a new theory. They would imitate the Socialists' methods. They would go out on the streets as soap-boxers, and give Americanism to the crowds instead of revolution. They would challenge the Socialists to debates on all occasions and hoist them before the public on their own fallacies. Mr. O'Brien and his staff carried out the program. In Racine, Sheboygan, Green Bay, Manitowac, Wausau and other Wisconsin cities, he soon began to capture Socialist audiences. But there was one difficulty which was increasingly evident to the league. And that was the lack of anti-revolutionary propagandists. The lack of men who understood the Socialist philosophy well enough to combat it on the soap-box. To strengthen the university, Harold Lord Varney, magazine writer and lecturer, who was for many years al national leader in the I. W. W. and j Socialist movement, has been engaged ' to have charge of the Correspondence j School. The course is divided into twelve lessons and covers such subjects as the study of the American form of government and the Marxian economics and its loopholes.
