, Wire Them Together for
Shield; Warning Shouted
Before Final Dash
WALLA WALLA, Wash., Feb.
lt.-JPi-&ix men were slain, one
of them prison guard, in a
bloody outbreak at the state peni
tentiary late today which guards
from prison towers quelled with
Machine gun bullets. Ten were in
jured. The guard, H. L. Brlggs, was
cut down with a knife wielded by
one of the convicts as they rushed
the gates. Walla Walla national
guardemeb, aided by a cordon of
militia, surrounder the prison and
no one escaped.
The dead:
H. L. Brlggs, guard.
H. R. "Buster" Clark, convict,
sentenced from Walla Walla coun
ty. James R. DeLong, convict, from
Pierce county.
Wallace Turcott, convict, from
King county.
Paul Krause, convict, from
Seattle.
Gerald Hill, convict, from
Clark county. .
The men injured were four
. guards and six convicts. '
The outbreak, apparently plan
ned for some time, began shortly
after the lunch, hour when about
30' long - term prisoners over
powered guards In both wings of
the prison. They had armed them
selves In some way with butcher
knives and other Improvised
weapons.
The guards overpowered in
eluded Brlggs, W. H. Truman,
head of the Identification bureau,
S. B. Bowen, chief engineer of
the prison, and H. M. Williams,
chief turnkey.
Wiring their prisoners togeth
er, and using them as a shield, the
convicts left one of the doors and
advanced toward the administra
tion building, where the main
gate la located. In the meantime,
the prison siren sounded the
alarm to the countryside.
marksmen on the walls shot oyer
the heads of the officers used as
shields and killed one of the con
victs. 'Captain of the Guards J. P.
Gemmel shouted at the little
band: ... -
"We will not open the gates.
Harm those men and not one of
yon will be alive tomorrow. We
will kill you where you are."
' With a run, the convicts then
dashed forward, and the guards
opened' fire, with their stuttering
machine guns and several rifles,
.aiming carefully to avoid hitting
the prison employes. Several con
Ticts were shot down outright,
and their advance .was halted.
Finally those not wounded
dashed back into the main cell
building.
Scarlet Fever
Prevalent but
Not Epidemic
There seems to be more scarlet
fever prevalent la Marion county
than at this tlme'ln other recent
years but the number of eases has
not reached epidemic proportions,
according to Dr. Vernon A. Doug
las, county health, officer. Most
of the. cases have been found in
the northern part of the county,
particularly through the Brooks
and Woodburn areas. . One new
case was reported at Woodburn
Sunday. ' -
A characteristic of the .cases
this year is that they are result
ing in later complications such as
kidney and throat ailments, Dr.
Douglas states.

FRANCE VS. BRITAIN
Tl
S
Quotas and Duties Basis of
Squabble; Reprisals on
Both Sides Talked
(By the Associated Press)
Great Britain and France moved
toward a trade war. Monday.
Commercial relations were crlt
ieal. as each government ordered
reprisals against actions on quo
tas or duties taken by the other.
As the British announced they
would place an extra 20 per cent
duty on most French imports in
retaliation for reduced quotas on
British imports to France, the
French government denounced
the trade treaties of 1826 and
1882 which gave to Great Britain
certain shipping advantages.
The situation was so serious
the British cabinet itself was di
vided over the question of repris
als. The foreign office opposed the
new duty as harmful to Franco
British relations and European
political problems, but the board
of trade, which issued the order,
remained adamant.
The United States figured prom
inently though indirectly In the
controversy.
In London, board of trade offi
cials contended France discrimin
ated against British by granting
certain new full quotas to the
United States recently.
The French, on the other hand,
asserted Britain herself invoked
the quota system in the recent
agreement with the United States
which covered exchange of Amer
ican hogs and pork and Scotch
whisky.

FATE OF PROJECTS

February 15 Deadline Under
Original Plan; Jobs May
Continue, is Hope
Although February 15 is un
derstood to be the deadline for
completion of CWA projects, the
playground improvements at both
Olinger and Leslie fields here are
far from being fulfilled. At both
places portions of the tennis court
surfaces remain to be laid and
only the foundation work has
been laid for the swimming pools.
Asked what the fate of these
two projects would be, CWA Ad
ministrator Glenn C. Niles yester
day declared he had no definite
idea, that he had received no In
structions regarding them, or oth
ers. He Etated, however, that un
less he received further orders,
he thought the work could be car
ried past February 15.
Both projects have been slowed
down considerably by shortage of
the allotted number of workmen,
according to Dr. B. F. Pound,
school director and chairman of
the Salem Park and Recreation
committee. The full number of
workers allotted at each place
has never been on the locations
at any time, he said.
Dr, Pound voiced a belief, how
ever, that the projects would be
completed with funds from the
anticipated new CWA appropria
tion. Materials for both projects
have already been purchased.

Control Appears

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-Af-Wllliam
P. MacCracken was lock
ed up in a three room suite at
an exclusive hotel tonight to
await the will of the senate.
His eounsel, Frank J. Hogan,
was planning other legal steps,
but for the time being Mac
Cracken was under guard in a
suite large enough for the self
admitted snores of Chesley Jur
ney, the senate sergeant-at-arms,
pot to disturb him, and sufficient
ly well equipped to affaird a
shower bath.
MacCracken, former assistant
secretary of commerce and now
an aviation attorney, was return
ed to the custody of Jurncy by a
justice in District of Columbia
supreme court who found the
senate had the right to order his
arrest and refused to grant bond.
It was his second appearance
before the court in a habeas cor
pus proceeding. He already had
been held In contempt of that
court once because of a too hasty
attempt to gain such a writ, but
after he actually was arrested and
taken before the senate another
writ was issued.
This could not be served while
MacCracken was on the floor of
the senate, but after a review of
the senate's authority to punish
him, the senate put -the case of
the aviation attorney over until
tomorrow.
Outside the august chamber,
the writ was served.
While the spotlight centered
upon this case which had its ori
gin in the refusal of MacCracken
to turn over correspondence in
his office to the"senate airmail
investigating committee, the army
was going ahead with plans to fly
the mails, legislation was taking
shape for commodity and sugar
market regulation and an eleven
million dollar bank was being
formed to handle trade with Rus
sia. The mail flying by the army
was arranged after the postmaster
general cancelled contracts with
existing airmail lines as a result
of the disclosures by the senate
committee of the manner in which
the contracts were made.
