THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE TUESDAY, OCT. 28, 1930. PALACE TONIGHT 0r"WOOLSEY GREATER THAN EVER IN A MONSTER FUN SHOW in the Easter Monday fire. Convicts of the Ohio Penitentiary Convicts Butl(l F ountam Memorial To 320 Victims of Ohio Prison Fi lrc have built this memorial fountain to the 320 prisoners who died COLUMBUS, 0. Oct. 26.—From the cmbers of the Easter Monday fire at the Ohio penitentiary has risen a memorial (fountain to the 1320 convicts who perished. It was designed by architects whose real names have been chang- {ed to numbers, and it likewise was built by the convicts themselves. The new fountain replaces an old one which has been damaged and discolored by winds and rain, and finally was blackened by the blaze that swept the “I” and “K” cell blocks in one of the most disastrous ,of prison fires. The fountain is a Grecian urn, Corinthian in style, atop a simple frieze work. It was George Richmond, who is serving a 20-year term for bank robbery and who is editor of the Penitentiary News, who arousec interest in replacing the old foun- tain. Warden Preston E. Thomas readily agreed to the project. “Imprisoned men dread drab sur- roundings,” said Warden Thomas, “and they earnestly seek beauty The fountain idea became popular.” Many of the prison fire victi were trapped in their cells, beating helplessly against barred dgors which guards could not open. e MARTHA SOCIETY DINNER Will be given in the church par- lors of the Presbyterian Church Oc- tober 29 from 5:30 to 7 o'clock.

Death came to him when he was years old. He was stricken by apoplexy while standing on the porch of his summer home at Char- {main, Pennsylvania. General Allen ved with distinction in the Sp: lish-American war, the Filipino surrection and the World war. Joseph Ulmer of Fairbanks has | written the following account cf | General Allen’s trip of explora | which brought him to the Tanana vV'\lloy befo any other white man 1 {had seen it: “The late General Allen with Private Fred W. Fickett and Ser | geant Cady Robertson and the pro | pectors Peter Johnson and John r r, left Nuchek, oppe | of the Copper R & |Hinchinbrook Island, March 20, 1885, to explore the Copper, Tan- ana, Yukon and Koyukuk rivers. “Chief Nicclai of Taral acted as t As- cending Mentasta Pass they look into the Tanana Valley, ised land, from that point, the first white men to view valley. ivate Fickett kept a daily jour- being the nal and of the trip along the up»: per Copper River he says: “‘May 28.

From there they traveled along the coast to St. Michael, from which place they ]@,axl;ed for San Francisco August 29 |on the 8. 8. Corwin. Outstanding Feat “Lieutenant Allen's trip of ex- “)lnrauun is one of the most out- |standing feats in the history of |Alaska when one considers the ob- stacles, hardships and privations |that were met with. “Gen. Allen, after the Armistice jcommanded the American Army of Occupauon in Germany. His hu- mane and lofty character had its |first tempering in Alaska and is probably best demonstrated by the |fact that the women and children ‘of the Rhine have erected a monu- ;ment to him, an enemy- gen ral. |General Allen was an Alaskan, and | Alaskans are proud of his carcer.” | 120 AC {kna, ACTRESS"'AND GOLFER TO MARRY ’ Viola Dana, at one time one of the best known stars in motion pic tures, will be married in Colorado Springs to Jimmy Thompson, pro- fessional golfer of the Broadmoor Country club of the Colorado city. | " Assoclated Press Ph {“Keeping Up With Says l.
