PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti, (AP)
The. initiative and courage of two
privates of the Marine Corps saved
the lives recently of 14 Hawaiian
prisoners who were trapped in a
blaiing prison in the village of Croix
des Bouquets. Official commenda
tion of the two men In question,
Melvin J. 'B. Griggs of Cincinnati
Ohio, and Russcl M, Anderson of
Kllsvillc, Miss., was forwarded to
the Navy Department by Brig. Gen.
John H. Russell, the American High
Commissioner to Haiti, and by their
brigade commander, Col, Theodore
P. Kane.
The prison at Croix des Bouquets
is constructed of heavy cement waits
covered with a thatched roof. A
spark from the prison kitchen igni
ted the roof, and the guards were
successful in liberating the women
firisoners. In the endcavar to re
ease the fourteen men confined in
separate quurters the key became
jammed in the lock, and efforts to
break the lock with a stone by the
native guards were unavailing.
Griggs and Anderson, riding in the
vicinity, were attracted by the lilaze
and rushed to the spot. While Hai
tians dashed water against the blaz
ing prison, the, Americans broke
through the wall of fire that block
ed the prison door, and smashed
the lock with an iron bar. They then
entered the prison and dragged the
hulf-suffocatetl prisoners to safety.
Both men were slightly buttled while
risking their lives.
President of a big life Insurance
company told a lot of Boy Scouts to
"marry young and live to bo a him-
