I STAB5 It became Known here today that in an altercation at the state penitentiary about three weeks ago bttween two convicts, J. C. i Burrie, a convict sent up from Klamath county, was stubbed in the arm by Ole Brown, colored, a lifer" from Wasco county who was sent up for murder. ' Wbere Brown got the knife with which he stabbed Burrls has n6t een ascertained by prison officials and Brown succeeded in hiding the weapon where it could not be found. Brown at one time since be wan received at the prison, was ad judged insane ai'fl was transferred to the state hospital for the in sane, but w&3 later taken back to the state penitentiary. At the time of the row the two men were in the "dog house," a place where the prisoners congregate when tbey are not busy. It is under stood that Burris was about to attack Brown with a chair or a club when Brown wielded the kulfe on him. Burrls is the second Klamath county prisoner to be the victim or .n attack. John Taylor, who was in the holdup of a pool room in in the holdup ot a pool rom In which a man was killed, on the day he was received here was ntruck from behind and knocked clown. He did not know who bit him or what he was hit with, but said his assailant was neither Sim Pate nor Pete Sullivan, two other men who were convicted with him for the holdup and murder, and both of whom were given llff sentences. It is nelieved the as sailant was some convict who felt a grude against Taylor because he furnished evidence for the state in the trial that resulted In the con viction of himself, Pate and Suit i van.

Washington, May 1. t Deny ing the government's re'quest for a limitation ot the order suspend ing operations of the packer con sent degree, Justice Bailey in the supreme court of tbe District of Columbia, today entered a for mal order suspending the decree "in every particular." The order entered today is to remain effective until further or der ot the court, which, It was stipulated, will be entered, if at all, only after a final hearing and proof of tbe government's original case filed In 1920.
