A second recommendation of Presi- | dent Hoover—reorganization of the | tariff commission—today was before | the senate. The announced opposition so far has been slight and indications point to a more favorable reception than that accorded the suggestion of the chief executive for the retention of the flexible tariff plan as it now ex- ists. The president desires authority to reorganize the tariff commission as part of his plan to speed up its work j and make it more effective in reliev- ing injustices that crop up in the tar- iff acts. The proposal before the sen- ate aims to accomplish this by giving him specific power to change the membership. ‘SCHILLING SUPPORTS | finally written into the measure, will |Farm Board Member Recom-| enable the president to appoint new members to the commission irrespec- mends That Southern Farm- | tive of the terms or Card now serving. tks int.

Shambles During All Night Siege : CATHOLIC PRIEST HERO OF OUTBREAK= Guard Goes Stark Mad from Terror, Watching Cold Blooded Murders of Pals; Dynamite - And Machine Guns Used to Quell Massacre _ Canon City, Colo., Oct. 4.—(AP)—One of the bloodiest prison mutinies in the nation's history, which claimed the lives of seven guards and five convicts, ended at the Color- ado state penitentiary here this morning when the four ringleaders of the uprising committed suicide, if Barricaded with more than 150 other convicts in cell house number 3, surrounded by troops, police and prison guards, and hopelessly outnumbered, the ringleaders first killed a wounded comrade and then fired bullets into their own brains. The other convicts then surrendered and were marched out of the cell house just at sunrise, The mutiny left in its wake a list of 12 dead, and as many wounded, some of whom may die. Four of the dead were prison guards, disarmed and slaughtered in cold blood inside the cell house, to em- phasize the convicts’ demand for unmolested freedom. [ Warden Francis E. Crawford, who declined all offers to parley with the embattled prisoners, was himself wounded during one of the attacks on the cell block. { National guard troops and police details from four Colorado cities fired more than 7.000 rounds of ammunition into the convicts’ stronghold during the night. The battle was marked by two attempts to dynamite the cell house walls; one blast breaking. all the windows, but failing to effect a breach in the masonry. The hero of the dynamiting attempts was a Catholic priest, Father Patrick O'Neill, who carried the bombs to the foot of the cell house wall, under cover of machine 61 fire from the prison walls. Three guards were killed at the outbreak of rioting yesterday and four more during the night. The floor of the cell house, which Inst night served as the execution chamber of four unarmed guards. was slip- pery with blood. The bodies of Charles Shepherd and John W.
