Back in the cells were 13 other convicts who had joined in the Sun- day dash for liberty, while Mrs. George A. Waters—the nation’s only feminine warden of a male prison— shunned praise for her heroism and sought the source of pistols smuggled to the leaders. Hastily summoned sheriff's posses rode throughout the night over the short grass plains seeking to flush the felons from their hiding places. All major highways were blockaded and farmers grimly guarded their homes against possible depredations of the freed killers and robbers. Break Follows Cruelty Probe ‘The break followed an investigation into reports of cruel treatment of the inmates. “We have been having trouble down here all week,” said the warden, who Sunday exposed herself to gunfire of the prisoners, “We took every pre- caution but we couldn’t guard against guns being smuggled in from the outside.” ‘The ringleaders appeared suddenly at the side of ® prisoner, ia meg, b+ it i) TU) NEW HGH MARK “Give us the keys,” they hissed. ‘With cold precision, the malcontents rounded up all inside turnkeys and Day Sergeant Walter Ford, locking them in a cell. “Come on,” they yelled. 7 A mob of youthful prisoners’ ral- lied to the cry, rushed headlong up- Supreme Court Justices Ruling on Gold Cases Victory for New Deal Here is the way the supreme all the gold Hughes, Stone, up five to four on ity: RELIEF ROLLS FOR cases: Majori , Brandeis, Roberts and Minority: %McReynolds, Van DeVanter, Sutherland court Cardozo. and Butler.

The decisions were accepted at the White House as a “‘com- plete victory for the government.” This announcement was made by Attorney General Cum- mings and Senator Robinson of Arkansas, Democratic leader, after a lengthy discussion with President Roosevelt and Secre- taries Hull and Morgenthau. Washington, Feb. 18.—(AP)—Dividing five to four, the supreme court Monday in effect swept away any government or private obligation to pay gold bonds in gold. While it was held that the government must pay off its own bonds in gold or the equivalent in devalued currency, another ruling that the court of claims had no jurisdiction over such cases was interpreted to mean that it would be impossible for holders of federal bonds to collect on their old gold basis, Bond Holders Cannot Make Collections This, in effect, would mean that while technically the holder of a $1,000 federal bond was entitled to $1,690—prac- tically he could make no such collection. The court of claims is the only tribunal before which suits against the government may be taken. Other courts may not entertain such suits without a special act of congress, lawyers said. In declaring congress could not abrogate the gold clause in its own bonds, the court added that those who had brought the suit had shown no right of action. Power of Congress to Act Upheld In the opinion, read by Chief Justice Hughes to the crowded courtroom, the power of congress to deal with currency was fully upheld. a The court decreed that those who owned gold certificates ran : stairs into the visitors’ room. ‘They ran of Nebraska Monday as 0 also had no cause of action and could not sue the government, used the women and children as} More persons were on North Da-| Washington, Feb. 18.—(#)—Finan- best artigo sant of A bill Lagu for a 3 per cent Prog tegmaaa —o Satisfaction within the administration was evident at once. shields. cial activities of this administration, |of gold, > Of | retail sales tax was introduced in the! the ar Poecaeace ve G Killea kota relief rolls during December, | court's |More than $100 per person, and pro-| North Dakota senate Monday by the The the new I’m satisfied,” said the New Deal senate leader, Senator oe 1994, than in any other month in the |!*8ding up to the supreme viding a penalty for violations. senate committee on taxes and tax| Nebraska law atlawing gold | Robinson of Arkansas.
