14 PRISONERS TRY BREAK FROM JAIL Check-up Awaits Mansfield Reformatory—Guard Is Seriously Hurt. By the Assoclated Press. MANSFIELD, Ohio, October 3.— Fourteen prisoners in Mansfield Re- formatory attempted a break for free- dom last night, after one of their number struck and seriously injured a guard with an iron bar. The guard, Frank E. Hanger, 42, had not recovered consciousness several hours later, and physicians said his condition was critical. Check-Up Awaited. A check-up was awaited today to determine whether any of the prisoners made good their attempted escape. First reports said five got away, but reforma- tory officials later announced none got olt of the prison proper. The officials said the attempted break was the outgrowth of a well-planned plot. One of the prisoners involved, they sald, was Charies Willlams, 22, whose mother, Mrs. Ella Florenz Thomp- son, Cleveland beauty parlor operator, was arrested here last week, charged with having smuggled saws to her son. Hanger was struck twice at the base of the skull with an angle iron wielded by Murrell Chandler, Columbus Negro, | who had freed himself from a cell in| the correction department. Unlocks Cells. | While the guard lay unconscious, | Chandler took his keys and unlocked | the cells of 13 other convicts. It was| 15 minutes later before another guard discovered the situation and spread the alarm. Police and sheriff's deputies hurried to the scene, fearing a more serious outbreak, but the only prisoners found out of their cells surrendered without resistance when confronted by the armed force. Supt. T. C. Jenkins said Williams was one of the ringleaders in the plot, but refused to name the others involved until his check-up could be completed. NAVY ORDERS Lieut. Cato D.

PRESIDENT LEAVES TODAY FOR WEST Will Make Three Speeches in Des Moines and Others From Special Train. (Continued From First Page. Davenport, Towa City and Newton. Ac- cording to information received at the White House, there will be huge crowds at these stops and a tremendous ovation will be accorded Mr. Hoover at each. ‘The President’s special train will nd§ go directly into the station at Des Moines. but will come to a stop at a point about a mile and a half from the center of the city, where automobiles and a large escort of National Guards- men and State Cavalry will be waiting. From this point the President will head a large procession that will move slowly through the principal highway of Des Moines, carrying him through the heart of the city and past the State Capitol and to the Governor's mansion, which w‘fllillbe his headquarters during his brief visit. It is estimated that at least 100,000 people from various sections of Iowa will be on hand to join the citizens of the Towa capital in welcoming Mr. Hoover to their section. Speaks at 7:30 P. M. The President and Mrs. Hoover will be guests at dinner at the Governor’s mansion. This will be a private affair and only a few guests included. Im- mediately after this meal the President will go to the Coliseum, where at 7:30 pm. he will start the delivery of his principal address. It is understood this speech will occupy the greater part of an hour. Although this hall holds more than 7,000 people, it was not large enough to accommodate one-half the number of persons desiring admission. Because of this, tickels have been issued to these disappointed ones for the Shrine Temple, which will seat nearly 7,000, and where, through the medium of am- plifiers connected with the platform at the Coliseum, they will be able to hear the President talk. Amplifiers also will carry the President’s words to gather- ings outside the Coliseum and the Shrine Temple. James Rolph, jr. Upon the completion of his speech, 1932. “Lash of White House Influence” for Crowd At Address Charged By the Assodiated Press, Senator Harrison, Democrat, of Mississippi, in a statement today, said, “t] h of White House influence” is being used to organ- ize a crowd for President Hoover to address tomorrow at Moines, Towa. “We read from the White House report,” said the Sena- tor, “that a crowd for the Presi- dent to address is being organ- ized under Republican auspices and the lash of White House in- fluence. Special trains are being provided to carry Hoover partisans into Des Moines from remote centers. “Republican officeholders are frantic in persuading an attend- ance. As bad as is the situation in Towa, as it appears from a Re- publican standpoint, none of us ever dreamed that in that former Republican stronghold, office- holders from distant States had to be corraled in order to make & showing for the President.” Mr. Hoover will go to the Shrine Temple, where he will deliver a brief speech. Afterwards the President will go to & lmcll“y erected platform in front of t State Capitol Building, where he will deliver another address. This one will be to the citizens of Des Moines and the people of Iowa. It is expected that from 25,000 to 50,000 people will be assembled to hear the President's voice from the Capitol platform. By that time it will be well aiter 10 o'clock, and according to the President’s sched- ule, he will go immediately from the Caplitol to the railroad station to board his special train and start at once on the return journey to Washington. Mrs. Hoover's Program Heavy. A busy program has been arranged for Mrs. Hoover during the Des Moines visit. According to. her schedule, she will have activities entirely apart from those arranged for the Executive. She will be the central figure at several | women's gatherings, and it is under- stood that because of her schedule, she will not be present during the Presi- dent’s coliseum address. It was said at the White House today | that Mr. Hoover's campaigning on this trip will not end with his departure from the Jowa capital. It was said that & number of stops en route back to ‘Washington have been scheduled, at each of whick Mr. Hoover will appear rear b&hmm of his train and % will make brief talks. . Hoover’s invasion of the Midwest as the Republican nominee has been so scheduled as to serve as the signal gun to set the Republican home-stretch campaign in full stride and which, from be carried on with on the in all Mr, ollowing Mr. Hoover's Midwest trip that will send more than 260 speakers throughout the Midwest and Far West with a view to turning the tide in the favor of their candidate. | Mr. Hoover has agreed to make three | speeches outside of Washington, but he has not yet announced just where the other two will be. It is known that arty strategists are urging him to make second speech in the vicinity of Ohio, Indiana or Illinois, and the final one In either New York City or Boston. Confers During Morning. President Hoover kept tusy at his desk virtually up to the time of his departure. During the morning he held several conferences with administration | associates, the principal cne being Sec- | retary of State Stimson. It is under-| stood, however, his talk with Mr. Stim- | son dealt principally with the latter’s| trip to Philadelphia Saturday night when he delivered an important political address. The President conferred also| with Assistant Secretary of State| Secretary of Agriculture Hyde was an- other of the President's conferees. It is thought the President desired a final talk with him before putting the finish- ing touches to that section cof his Des Moines speech which will deal with farm relief. The President also talked with Chairman Fort of the Home Loan Bank Board and Attorney General Mitchell. | FORMALITY 1S AVOIDED.

Ohio, Michigan, Minnesota and Wis- consin joined in a motion submitted to the Supreme Court today by Attorney General Gilbert Bettman of Ohio ask- ing the court to enforce its decree in the Chicago Sanitary District case. ‘The four States said the Sanitary Dis- trict is not making the progress required by the court in erecting sanitary plants to reduce the volume of water it is now taking from Leke Michigan. The Supreme Court by its decree in April, 1930, required the diversion prac- tically to cease by 1938. Attorney General Bettman, explaining the motion submitted today, said that in issuing its decree the court expected Chicago (o be able to build sewage disposal plants at a cost of $100,000,000 |by 1938, making further diversion of lake water unnecessary. The court has kept in its hands the three cases brought by the Great Lake States, including New York, against Illi- nois and the Chicago Sanitary District and Chicago has been filing every six months reports on progress of the work. Bettman stated that at the rate Chicago had progressed, it would have required 37 years to complete the dis- posal plants. He added that owing to lack of finances. the work has entirely ceased. The petition asked the appointment of a commissioner, receiver or United States marshel to carry out and make effective the Supreme Court decree. IS AR Boat Flies Through Air. “Hydro-Skipper” is the appropriate name of the new idea in high speed water craft developed by Dr. Oskar G. Tietjens, research engineer of Westing- house Electric. By attaching hydro- foils—thin, narrow planes—beneath the hull of the boat, the scientist lifts the craft out of the water, eliminating the crag, and causes the boat to skip over the water at almost double its former speed, with no increase in power.
