Concord. July 24.-Though the fact
that four prominent citizens of this
town maid fines and costs aggregat-
ing 1929 for taking 127 short trout In
New Hampshire on July IL was
known here the matter had been
kept quiet until today when dis
patches to the newspapers dated at
Littleton, n. H., told the details OF
the affair

The party had been in camp at
the Brewer cottage, a short distance
from this place. and decided to go
into New Hampshire on fishing
trip. a fish and game warden ar
rested the men at Whitefield, ~ H.
and they we're fined s. for each
short trout in their possession. The
costs amounted to nearly 500. The
warden who took the men into Gus

only about three inches in length
Had the men been allowed to FISH a
few hours more. providing their
luck in taking fish had continued.
the fines and costs might easily
have ran into thousands instead OF
hundreds Of dollars
This is the second time within a
few wees that Vermont fishermen
have fallen into the clutches Of New
Hampshire officers on the charge OF
violating the laws. 4 party OF St.
Johnsbury men paid fines in the
Granite state recently.

ID. Il. Coping.


Folk dancing on the green in cos
tune will be a feature of The Play
Day meetings on Saturday The
programs for both afternoon and eve.
ming will be the same throughout.
There will be no charges of any
kind or appeal for funds at either

for both national and local work
from various people. The time of
the evening meeting on the lawn of
the Playground has been changed
from seven to six-thirty on account
of the early dusk and everyone is
asked to be there promptly. Invita-

interested who has been overlooked
or who may prefer one time to the
other will be welcomed at either
meeting

the establishment of Kindergartens
and Fairgrounds in several OF the
western states has devoted some
time to professional storytelling;
and was Supervisor of Fairgrounds
in White Plains, New York, before
taking up the work of playground

Accounts from other cities which
have had Play Day meetings are
very favorable and report very en-
ioyable afternoons of games and folk
dances and speak highly of the lead

Fire at Sing Sing
CONVICTS JEER KEEPERS
Resent Removal Warden Kennedy
Who Has Been indicted for
Malfessance.

New York, June 25.-Two compan-
les of state militia were waiting in
White Plains and Yonkers, N. Y,
last night under orders to respond to
a possible emergency call in view of
the situation at Sing Sing prison,
where mutinous convicts have been
causing serious trouble for two days
past Invoking the riot law, Super
visor John S. Jenkins called upon the
Westchester county authorities to be
ready to dispatch guards men to 0s-
shining
fire, believed to have been set
yesterday by incendiaries, was follow
ed by a strike among 100 convicts.
Threats that extreme measures
would be adopted induced the NAL
contents to return to their cells
Last night the boots and jeers of
hundreds of convicts could be heard
all over Ossining. Warden Clancy
announced that the prisoners were
well within control and that this
morning so of the leaders, most of
them second-termers, would be sent
to the State-prison at Auburn.
The warden beheves that visitors
have told the convicts that Gov. Sui
zer's recent removal OF John S.
Kennedy since indicted for alleged
malfeasance in office, as warden,
was due to politics. Kennedy was
personally popular among the men.
For week or more, Clancy said, he
had expected a strike and feared
fire. He had been warned by
prison official while in Albany, he de
clared. that trouble with the prison
ers was in prospect, while a 'trus-
ty" warned him that arson was to
be attempted.
The blaze yesterday started In the
clothing shops and the prison fire
brigade Nextinguished 1t after a hard
fight without outside aid. 1t was
the second fire in the prison this
week, Notwithstanding the fact that
the guards had been doubled since
$4,000 worth Of property was burn
ed up there three days ago. If these
fires were started by convlcts, the
warden as yet has been unable TO
place the blame.
When the fire broke out yesterday
in the clothing shop every precaution
was taken TO guard against the es-
cape of convicts. While the guards
and the TRUSTEES detailed to fire
duty we're attacking the flames, more
than 1000 prisoners. locked in their
cells, raised a chorus Of yells that
sounded high above the noise of the
alarm. The men at work in the
building were marched out in good
order and the blaze was extinguished
after most of the contents of the
shop had been tossed out OF the win
dows and drenched with water.
