| & + rene a CONVICTS ARE SURROUNDED IN TEXAS SWAMP Prison Officials Anticipate Little Difficulty in Cap- turing 35 Men Houston, Texas, June 22.—(P)— Thirty-five long term white convicts, who escaped from the Ferguson state prison farm near Madisonville, 80 miles north of here, at midnight last night, were believed to have heen surrounded this morning in a densely wooded Trinity river valley, near their camp. Guards from the prison camp were forced by volunteers from all ons of Madison county, called farm authorities to assist in the man hunt. Many of the prisoners were described as desperate char- acters. "s All efforts to communicate with the farm by telephone failed, indi- cating the convicts had cut all wires. So far as could be learned, no one was injured in the break. Headed Off at River ‘he men sawed through their bunk house and ran to a highway where they started toward a ferry on the Trinity river, a short distance north- cast of the farm. Guards hastily took up a position near the ferry and the fugitives were turned south- ward before they céuld cross the river, Dogs were then secured and aided in chasing the men into thickets along the river bank. The section throvgh which the chase led is a vir- tual swamp with mud sever] inches deep. It is impassable in many places to anything except men on foot. Prison officials said they antici- pated little difficulty in’ capturing the men. They declared the dogs would be able to trail the prisoners and that, with the large force of guards and velunteers available, it was only a question of starving the fugitives, into surrenden A mes- sage from th that the fugitives were GAMHONS’ 108 MAY: MAY NOT END ON JULY 4 Governor’s Veto Leaves Him With Job, But No Pay— ‘Way Out’ Is Rumored Approach of July 1 has brought a hush of expectancy tothe state cap- itol here, at least to those who inter- est themselves in the various politi- cal maneuvers which are made by the various factions. Chief among the questions which ure expected to be solved on, July 1 or shortly thereafter. is that of the secretaryship of the state industrial commission, Enough money remains in the. sal- ary fund of the industrial commis- sion to give the present secretary « pay check on July 1 for his services during June. The fund then will be completely exhausted and there will he no more forthcoming, for Governor Sorlie vetoed the appropriation for his salary. Independents Stand Pat Despite the question of where his salary will come from, -Independent members of the commission appar- ently are determined that John Gam- mons, the incumbent, shall remain on the job and rumors filtering through the capitol halls are that they have found a way to pay him, despite the luc that the appropriation was vetoed. Y When other state departments run short of funds they appeal to the emergency commission for aid. Such a course would be useless in this case, however, since the governor controls the emergency commission. The law creating the secretarys! of the industrial commission pro: vides no fixed term of office and no statutory salary. In the event that the salary was fixed by law it would have been useless for the governor to veto the salary appropriation. Since the Independents control the commission and are unwilling to lose Gammons, the governor cannot ob- tain the appointment of someone else in his place, even though he migh be able to raise the money. elsewhere. Meanwhile, capitol circles are quiet- ly waiting for the next step which will come when the money rurs out on July 1, Cooperative Elevators Discussed Before Chicago Group (Continued from paze one) petitors 49 per cent and five to eight competitors 37 per cent.

The re- mainder use two or more of the sources listed.

FOOD BLOCKADE INSTITUTED BY MINE COMPANY Union Plans to Combat Move, Called Effort to Oust Miners From Homes Pittsburgh, June 22—()—Leaders of the United Mine Workers today prepared to combat-a “food block- ade” they alleged police of the Pitts- burgh Terminal Corporation have es- tablished at Mollenauer, a mining town, in an effort to oust union min- ers from houses owned by the com- pany. Proceedings brought by the company to evict the miners now are pending in state superior court with a possibility that no decision will be reached before next winter. Philip Murray, international vice president of the United Mine Work- ers, declared yesterday that the com- pany police have declared an embar- go against all deliveries from Pitts- th merchants and that miners at lollenauer are forced to buy at Castle Shannon, more than a mile Electric lights, he said, have been turned off, necessitating the use of oil lamps and lanterns. President Issues Statement Asked for a statement, Horace F. Baker, president of the company, said it had been found “against our ‘interests to have every one going on our property where there were both union and non-union miners and therefore we laid down rules to ex- clude them.” The Terminal Coal . Corporation, which owns eight mines in the Pitts- burgh district, has been secking to regain possession of its houses for amonths. With the suspension of operations in union bituminous mines April 1, the company announced it would reopen its mines non-union. Its Coverdale mine was reopened April 26. The legal fight over occupancy of the houses began April 20 when the company filed eviction proceedings against 10 union miners at Coverdale. ‘Spokesmen for the corporation at that time said the company would file similar proceedings against some 6,000 union miners and their families who were occupying the corporation’s 1,200 houses. Subsequently. such pro- ceedings were filed against about 100 ‘miners. Carried jo High Court With the filing of the first 10 suits, the union began its fight to prevent eviction of the miners. As each new batch of eviction suits was filed, union council guined a respite through some counter-court action. Eventually all of the ejectment proceedings were carried to the su- perior court by the union. The court will not convene until fall and a de- cision may not be handed down for some time after the session begins.

All that is required is. the personal follow-up work.” Pons-Winnecke Comet Visible Last Night Chicago, June 22. , 22—)—The Pons- Winnecke comet, traveler of the skies, became visible last night to the naked eye as it hurtled earthward at the rate of a million miles a day. Chicago observers saw it noar the star Vega, almost ,.overhead — and slightly to the northeast. It had the appearance of a hazy star. ‘As the comet speeds neater the earth ‘during the next few days, astronomers said, it will increase in apparent size until, at its point of nearest approach, will seem larger that the full moon, New York, June 22—~()—Star-gaz- ers on the lookout tonight for the Pons-Winnecke comet should search for a “small patch of illuminated fog” visible an hour after sundown in ; the northeastern sky midway be- tween the horison and the zenith: The celestial visitor will not be difficult to distinguish, say astronomers.

The fire started in the basement from an electric iron which had been left on a shelf. Miss Annie Dickson, a governess, who was believed to have discovered the fire, was the only other person in the building. She was rescued, partially overcome, while clinging to a balcony on the fourth floor of the i” front of the palatial home. ir, Shearer left yesterday for New York on his yacht. PROBLEMS ARE DISCUSSED IN PRIVATE TODAY (Continued from page one) technical ones. actually convey to all the delegates, STATE DEPARTMENT REMAINS OPTIMISTIC Washington, June, 22 — — The state department exerted itself today to make clear that the American proposals presented at the Geneva arms conference represented the best thought of the administration at this time, and that, barring the usual concessions of compromise on detail, the plan should be maintained as the basis for any final agreement. Particular stress was placed on the Japanese stipulation that present naval strength be based on the num- ber of effective ships, which would eliminate from consideration more than 100 American destroyers and cruisers now beyond the replacement age. It was asserted, however, that if the Japanese insist upon their pro- posal, use of the word “effective” would be accompanied by some lib- eral interpretation so as not to re- strict the country’s naval construc- tion, British Program Out of Order As to the British program, the view was held that in addition to b ing out of order at this time because of its relation to the 1922 pact, it offered no tonnage limitation of aux- iliary craft, which is a specific rec- ommendation in the American plan. Personal views of Ambassador Hugh Gibson, chairman of the con- regarding the. two, counter, vosals, had not been cabled to the state department today and the fact was interpreted by officials as evi- dence that he is carefully forming his opinion after conference with their proponents. It was pointed out hat Mr. Gibson would reach his own decisions in company with his naval experts before referring to the Wash- ington government. With the matter completely in Gibson's hagds, Secre- tary Kellogg is maintaining silence on the discussions. Department Optimistic. Despite impressions cabled from Geneva that naval limitations pro- posals put forth by-the three powers in the conference there were so wide- ly divergent as to afford little mai gin for immediate common discus- sion, the department today clung to its optimism that an eventual agree- ment would be, reached. Hope was held that the American proposals for extension of the 5-5-3 principle to auxiliary craft would be accepted virtually intact. The American proposal had the careful consideration of President Coolidge as well as the state and navy departments and was held to represent this country's minimum naval requirements. Therefore it was emphasized that it could not readily be scrapped to accept a for- eign substitute offering less in the way of naval protection. The British counter proposal, which would revise features of the Washington treaty concerning capital ships and aircraft carriers, it, was believed in some quarters here, would not be pressed to the point of en- dangering the conference. The same view was taken of the Japanese pro- posal to maintain the status quo in auxiliary naval strength. Three Prisoners.
