| CONVCTSBE OF BESEGERS ATACK More Troops Go to Kentucky Prison in Third Day of « Three-Man Revolt. Dy the Amoclated Press. ki EDDYVILLE;- Ky.: October 5.~ Three lone convicts whb for over two days have defled efforts of the execu- tive and military departments of the state of Kentucky to dislodge them from an improvised Yortress in . the penitentiary prison here seemed as- sured of holding their -position until ovening. following an announcement made by Warden John Chlilton today.’ Warden Chilton said further con- terences and efforts to dislodge tho mon would be held up urtil 5:30 this afternoon, awalting the arrival of three members.of the state board of charities and.correction.. Just what methods the board might suggest that hava not been tried by the military power the warden did not know. Laughter, even in the face of the crists, s caused, however, when some one suggested the board might advise the uprisers be tssued pardons and thus end the controversy. Effective Hiding Place, The effective hiding placy the con- | victs possessed was sald by Warden Chilton to be the main diffculty the state faced. He sald the convicts evi- dently had used four ninety-gallon iron steam boilers In the front of the bullding and a steel-sheeted bread mixer in the rear as hiding places, and said they were located at the only entrance ways to the building. In the warden's opinion, the con- . viets could hide in these places and each man could stand off a regiment, due to the strategic rapge of fire they would control if an advance was made upon them Their hands red with the lifeblood of three prison guards, Monte Wal- ters. Lawrence Grifith and Harry Ferland, convict murderers, passed through two barrages from _high- power rifles and two machine guns, that drove a hall of steel-jacketed bullets threcugh the mess hall walls, tearing out large holes In the north and west sides at points where the firc was concentrated; a gas attack released by tear gas bombs lobbed into the building through the breaches in the walls and a bombardment of rifle grenudes. More Troops Ordered. Just before midnight Gov. Edwin P. Morrow ordered additional guards- men to the scene. Acting upon a re- queet for reinforcements from War- den John Chilton, who said the ma- chine gunners were worn out by the strain of the long watch and needed guard rellef, Gov. Morrow ordered twenty-five members of Company L. 1i0th Infantry, from Mayfield, to the seene. Twenty-five thousand rounds of ammunition, together with a supply of rifle grenades. arrived late yes- terday from Camp Henry Knox. In addition the besiegers have obtained a quantity of dynamite, and it has Dbeon intimated that an effort might be made to mine the building and rage it with.a heavy blast of the explosive. The sensational break for liberty hy the convict tris. which resulted in the slege, was made early Wednesday morning. Maving obtained automatic pistols in some undetermined way. Walters, Grifiith and Ferland initiated the dash by shooting tc death Guard Hoillke Cunningham. Other guards wery attracted by the firing, and a running fight enswsd.iiri fwhich V. B. Mattingly, W. P. Glibert and William Gillihan were. wounded. Mattingly and Gilbert died from thelr' wounds. Stand OF Attackers. Failing to win the main gate of the prison wall, the conviet ganmen took cover in the mess hall. Their refuge proved a cul de sac. but the trio re- tired to the second floor, and, using windows as. loopholes, stood off at- tackers. During the two nights of the siege @ score of acetylene torches, placed 8t vantage points in the prison grounds, have cast their flickering Tight against the mess hall wal forming a cirele of light through which a man might not pass unde- men who waited and watched from the shadows on the outside of the flluminated circle. ik Opinion was expressed in some quarters that the beleaguered des- peradoes had been killed or seriously wounded by the volleys directed against their fortress. It was proved, lJowever, that at least one of the trio still was able to walk when @ figurs Wwae seen to emerge from the mes: hall door. Greeted by a spurt of bul Jets from the rifles of watching guards, the man fled back into the fdark interior of the building. Later |a guard, in attempting to place to \more advantage one of the torches, Amomentarily deserted cover, and three shots were fired from thé bullding. howing that the ammunition of the Tness hall defenders had not been ex- ‘hausted. i l LAUREL ENTRIES W (Entries for Saturday, Octeber 8.)

The Rubr, it is ‘une = « street).”® Gen. Foch committed some. thing more than a French pun when e thus described Germany's Pitt: burgh district. Not only is it & very nprrow street, between the ‘Ruhr and Ite Lippe Rivers, but also & very short one—about twenty-seven miles {long As no place in all the world, this street is llned with a veritable picket fence of the tall chimne: which secm to join the horizon to the heavens as far as the eye can reach, from un amazing array of huge eel ‘plants and of somber coal pits and tipples. When I was lhere two years ago, that Cyclopean fence was respo ble for a vast amount of soot and |dirt—and energetic housewives equip- ped with washrag and soapstone. ‘Foday, hardly one of those chimneys has its normal bouguet of smoke: | that bouquet which smells so sweet in the nose' of every workingman becuuse it spells not only bread akd butter but also self-respect. Today “Ruhr strcet” suffers from a cleanli- ness that is almost ghastly. From end to end there broods ovér it & silence that fairly brings shivers. I had several of these lust, by the way, before I got here. Don’t Question the Guards. “Going into the Ruhr? For the lo of heaven, man, watch your: ste This was the advice glven to me al- most every mile of the route through New York, Paris, Coblenz and logne. The throats of passengers cut 1y robbers on the undermanned and badly sabotaged railronds operated by the Frenc imprisonment or rifled pocketbooks at the hands of un- friendly and halt-savage French sen tries from Morocco, or daggers plant od by desperate and highly suspicious communists—all these accounts made the approach into the district more than fairly exciting. Luckily none of these tales was verified in my experience. Neverthe. less the trip was.not a pleasant one. The colored or half-colored sentinels, with their long guns gnd_ bayonets, are not found in the Ruhr, though our train passed many of them In the Rhincland. But in one town where I ducked my head in order to read & notice through a gate, the young French guard growled a warning. When I approached him to ask what he had said. all the passers-by stop- ped stock still or edged away. I woke up to realize that I was engaged in dangerous business —armed sentries do not like te be questioned! At various points the regular means of travel have been purposely torn up. Instead of continuing with traln_ into Dusseldorf from Cologne you have to get out and take .the street car. After a short ride you must get out of that and either carry your baggage for half an hour's walk orwmanage to hang on to one of ti overcrowded wagons which have been ressed Into the emergency service. very so often you must open your baggage and submit your passport to the sharp eyes of the armed keepers of the district's extremely military law.

Lioyd George's rive from humble origin to the position of Britain's premier has been one of the most unusual in British politics. Born of Welsh parents in Manchester, Janu- 17, 1868, he lived in North Wales ith an uncle who adopted him when his parents died. He opened a law office in 1884 and was elected to parliament as a liberal four years later. Successively he became president of the board of trade, chancellor of the excheguer and minister of munitions in 1915. In December. 1916, he became premier. He was unseated in Ootober of last year through a realignment of his party forces. As head of the Brilish delegation to he peace conference hé- was one of the big_four—President Wilson, Pre- mier Clemenceau, Premier Orlando and himself. He also played an_im- portant part in the many post-Ver- sailles conferences, presenting _the British point of view to former Pre- mier Briatd and Premier Poincare of France.

When on May 18, another dispatch was written asserting that Harvey had brought score of trunks filled with official fi"’"' to the White House and that e would not long remain as ambassador to Great Britainfl cautiously worded de- nigls were issued from officlal quarters. President Harding really tried to per- sunde George Harvey to keep on at London,.and while the latter went back to London with the hope that he might continue for a short time longer, the death of President Harding brought matters to a climax, and the resigna- tion was passed on to Mr. Coolidge for action along with the routine resigna- tions of all the other ambassadors at the beginning of a new administration.

As for Mr. Child, he suppor:el nin self at Rome largely by his continucd writing of fiction stories for American Dubiications, but s sald to have tired of this. His sensational speech in fa- vor of fascismo and his public praise of Mussolinl which some intarnational lawvers sald was a diplomatic indie- cretion was made at a time whea he had already declded to resign. Mr. Child is known to be a close friend of President Coolldge and it would not be surprising if he were tendercd an important place in the Coolidge administration, on this side of the Atlantic.
