WARDEN STABBED
 IN PRISON RIOT
Reformatory Inmates Rebel During Moving Picture
 Exhibition
By Associated Press

Marquette, Mich, December h. A riot among prisoners at the branch of the Michigan state reformatory here during a moving picture exhi- bition this morning was quelled after Warden T. B. Catlin had re- ceived nine knife wounds, Deputy Warden Menhenite had been badly beaten and the latter's son, Arthur Menhenite, who was visiting his father at the prison, had been stabbed in the lungs. Arthur Men herite Is in a local hospital and said to be in serious condition. A large number of the prisoners had been taken to the chapel to wilt ness the entertainment. After the chapel had been darkened to permit the showing of tho pictures, a mum Der of the prisoners. scid by prison officials to have been led by Gypsy Bob" Harper, Jasper Perry and Charles Roberts. all of Detroit sprang upon Catlin. As a prison rule prohibits carrying of firearms with in the institution, the officials. aid ed by n large number of loyal pris- oners, fought the insurgents with their fists, feet, or with canes they carried.
 Carving Knives
 Carving knives, believed to have been obtained by some of the prison CTS from tho reformatory kitchen were brought into play, and Catlin fell before the knife thrusts. Arthur Menhennit went down soon after wards and his father was receiving a beating at the hands of the in- mates.
 Sam Foard, serving life sentence. rushed from the chapel as the dis turbance started and summoned Charles Muck, guard, from tho out CT wall. Muck ran to the chapel, leveled his rifle at the prisoners. and kept them at bay while the other guards were summoned. The prison CTS were herded to their cells.
 The leaders in the riot are in the prison bull pen tonight awaiting de- cision by Gov. Alex J. Groesbeck as to their punishment.
 Escaped Prison
 The trouble Is believed by prison officials to have had it's inception in friction between Warden Catlin and Harper. The latter was sem tenced to Jackson prison from De- troit for highway robbery some time ago. While at Jackson he killed a fellow prisoner during a knife bat tie, and was transferred to Marquette as punishment. Three months ago he escaped from the prison, but was recaptured at Negaunee, 13 miles from here, two days later.

CONDITIONS IN EUROPE BETTER
 HOOVER ASSERTS
Says Development Must Be Slow But the Outlook Is
 Not At All Gloomy
By Associated Press

Washington, December 1.-The economic recovery of Europe, while necessarily slow and difficult is making substantial progress. Secre- tary Hoover declared in a review of international trade conditions made public here tonight. The sit uation contains great dangers" he said, but is mot at all as gloomy as some statements would make it ap- pear"
 survey of the European condi- tions, he said. will show that the dan ger of bolshevism is past partly through improved standards of life and partly through the salutary les son of Russia.
 The commerce of the whole world. the secretary said, suffers from the failure in government finance and unless remedies are found the recu- peration affected in social, political. industrial, agricultural and commer- cial life will be endangered.
 The most dangerous of the unbal- anced imitation situations. Mir. Hoover said, is Germany whose case depends , upon the method and volume of rep aration payments"
 "As the United States does not par ticipate either In it's control or in it's receipts" he said. we have no voice or right to interfere 1t is earnestly to be hoped that the present negotia- tions upon reparation may succeed in finding sound basis that will secure permanent economical stability to Germany and certainty of regular payment to the allies. With this af- fected the way is open for consider alton of the situation mother states;
 Democracy Gaining
 "Outside of the government finance of limited number of states. the out lcok is encouraging. Democratic in- stitutions are gaining strength among the 150. 1000, 900 formerly supporting autocracies. In Russia itself extreme communism is slowly boiling to death in caldron of starvation and its leaders freely acknowledge it's fall ure.
 In the field of international poll tics. aside from conflict in Turkey. war has ceased and treaties of peace are effective throughout the world. Russia no longer threatens any se- rious military offensive. There are bright prospects, of limitation in na- val armament Agreed limitations in land armaments are not very hopeful but the economic pressure of taxes and unbalanced budgets Is slowly dis arming Europe and it will disarm more of them yet. The number of i men under arms has decreased by fully a million in the past twelve months.
 Tn the field of economic life the progress of agricultural and indus trial production year by year since the war is very marked. Famine has disappeared from Europe except in Russia. Generally. there is progress and the problems yet Ito be solved are being steadily narrowed and their so- lutions better understood"

FAMOUS ANECDOTES
OF FAMOUS PEOPLE
BISMARCK.

Bismarck and a friend were
out hunting one day when the
friend accidentally walked into
q marsh. Feeling himself sink
ing, he called out to Bismarck:
'Ssve me. Come to my help or
shall be lost in this quicksand!"
Bismarck saw that the danger
was great, but he retained his
presence of mind. ~
NO." he replied. ct will not
venture into the marsh to save
YOU. for then !. too, would be
lost. 1t is evident that you must
die. so to relieve you from the
cruel agony Of a slow death, I
will shoot you"
As he spoke. he coolly leveled
his rifle at his friend founder
ing in the mire.
S@Keep quiet" Bismarck cried,
Il can not take correct aim. Re-
member in order to kill you i'm
mediatefy, I-must shoot you
through the head"
The horrible brutality of this
1rove all thought of the marsh
from the friends mind. He
thought only of lodging Bis
marck's bullet. With this thought
in his mind he struggled so vio-
lently that, by almost superhu-
man effort. he finally succeeded
in grasping the root of a tree
and rescuing himself.
Il owe my life to your pres
ence of mind" he confessed to
