BOARD FINISHES
PROBE Of STRIKE
At STATE PRISON
Killing of Baldonado De-
sCribed BY a Colored
Prisoner; Board Is Ex-
peCted to Report Quickly

Santa Fe, Aug. 25.--Testimo~ y
apparently unexpected and highly
sensational was introduced on the
fourth and last day of the investi-
cation by the board of penitentiary
commissioners into the food strike
of July 10, when Martin Badona-
do was killed and five other pris-
oners wounded by five Of the
guards. Having taken the testi-
mony, it is believed that the board
will report to Governor NJ. c. Me-
chem without delay. The testi-
mony, comprising some six hun
dred written pages, will be trans
mitted TO the executive as soon
as the transcript of the stenogra-
piers notes can be made.
Killing of Baldonado was de-
scribed by Claude Bennett, a col
ored prisoner, who said he was an
eye witness. He said he saw the
shot fired by the guard on the west
platform of tower No. /; that later
he was in the hospital when this
guard, Toribio Sanchez, came in,
pulled down the cover from Bal
donados face. laughed and re-
marked:
"Huh, | thought it was a white
man.
c. II. Blake, another prisoner,
testified he heard this remark
made by Sanchez. Recalled in
rebuttal, Sanchez denied having
tired the shot or made the re-
mark. but admitted he had
pulled down the cover and looked
at the dead mans face.
Charles and John Parks, broth
ers, testified that after they had
gone to their cells, following the
shooting, Canuto Alarid, captain of
the guards, directed guard in the
cell house to shoot the men IN
their cells if he heard any bad talk
from them Thomas Hughes,
board member, announced that he
did not believe Alarid had given
any such order
James d. Dankoff, federal prison
oner, awaiting arraignment testified
that after he had gone into the cell
house, a guard III the front tower
yelled at him, cursing and trying
to thrust a shell into his rifle.
while the shell stuck in the maga-
zine, the prisoner testified, he
lodged from the window.
Prisoners Stocking, Mcbride and
Haugh, said to have been active in
the strike were on the stanr in
stripes, with shaved heads and
wearing chains. They spent II
days lin the hole" and are now in
solitary confinement. Stocking
and Mcbride testified they were
stretched over barrel and
whipped in addition. At the con-
clusion of the investigation, A. NJ.
Edwards, assistant attorney gem
eral representing the state, de-
clared he found conditions in the
institution so very serious that the
board ought to take immediate ac-
ton, reporting to the governor at
once.

SECOND PRIMARY
IS To BE HELD
IN TEXAS TO-DAY
Interest CenterS in the Race
Between Ferguson and
MayfieId, Candidates for
the u. S. Senate.

Dallas. Tex, Aug. 25.--The Ku
KuX Klan, federal reserve bank
ing system, the Volstead act. trans
portation problems and rates. and
to a lesser degree attitude toward
organized labor and farmers clear
ly have become issues in the DEM
ocratic campaign for the nOmina-
ton for United States senator from
Texas. The second primary to finally
name the party's nominee will be
held next Saturday, August 26.
James r. Ferguson, former gov
ernor, has made known his
friendliness to legalzing light
wines and beer. He also has de-
clared opposition to the ku KluX
Khan. Among his pleas for sup
port is that he is a friend of organ
lied labor and the farmers. He
attacks his opponent Earle B.
Mayfield, a state railroad commits
sioner, charging tha: Mr.. Mayfield
is a klansman, and has the sup
port of members of that order. Mr..
Mayfield maintains the klan is not
an issue.
Mr.. Ferguson is antagonistic to
the federal reserve banking sys-
tenn, and frequently, in his ad-
dresses, blames it for financial diff
ficulties,
Mr.. Mayfield has been stressing
the transportation problems and
rates as needing more attention
from congress than the federal re-
serve system. He declares the
rates are too high, and that the
rate making powers should be re-
stored to the states.
Opening the campaign after the
July % primary Mr.. Ferguson
confined his remarks concerning
the Ku Klux Klan almost entirely
toward Mr.. Mayfield. Later in his
campaign, however, he asserted
candidates seeking nomination for
certain state offices had the sup
port of the khan, and suggested
that voters opposed to the khan
should cast their ballots against
the men he named. Among those
attacked by Mr.. Ferguson was Ed
r. Bentley, a candidate for the
nomination for Superintendent of
Public instruction. Anti-klan
votes should go to S. NJ. n. Morris
OF Travis county, ana against MI
! Bentley, Mr., Ferguson asserted.
The August 26 primary, known
as the run off, will finally de-
eide the nominees in those races

MIKE BRADY IS
EASY WINNER Of
H0N0RS At Golf
Oakland Hills Player Takes
the Western Open Title
Over His Home Course;
Two Tied for Second.

Birmingham, Mich, Aug. % tby
the Associated Press.) -- Mike
Brady. Oakland Hills professional.
after trying for more than a decade
to work the combination of the
lock which holds open golf titles,
today broke his way through by
winning the western open over his
home course with score of 29l
for seventy-two holes--onIy three
strokes over par.
Mike outclassed his field at
every turn of the three days play,
taking the lead the first day and
sailing through with ease.
The second place score was ten
more than Mikes, Laurie Ayton,
Chicago. shooting his way into a
tie at sol with Jock Hutchinson
when the latter collapsed on his
afternoon round after having an
excellent chance to beat Brady.
At the 303 mark, fourth place,
was George Sargent, of Columbia,
while next came Emmett French,
of Youngstown, with 304, and
Johnny Farrell, of Mamoroneck, n.
Y, who lost his chance to win by
going to pieces on his second morn
ing nine today, finishing with So7.
Among the amateurs Chick
Evans, of Chicago, easily was the
leader with 314. Chick" would
have been an easy second or thlrd
place man had he not lost control
of every club in his bag this after
noon, totaling 81 for the final
eighteen holes.
Brady's work outclassed that or
any other player from start to fin
ish. II was his party throughout,
for he got the lao other entrants to
come to his own front yard where
he proceeded to beat them to a
fragile. He outdrove most of
them, outputted all of them.
Because of his many former fail
ures, it had been freely predicted
by the gallery experts that Brady
would blow up today and that
Hutchison would take the title.
Everywhere it was remarked that
Mike would not be able to stand
the pace that Jock would set. When
Jock finished the morning round
with rs against Mixes rs and was
only three strokes behind in the
total, the predictions were repeated
with emphasis. But this afternoon
it was Mike who set the pace and
Jock who blew up. Brady took the
heart out of the Chicagoan by
sinking a seventy-five foot runup
for birdie three on the first hole
and the more they played the bet
ter Mike shot and the worse Jock
handled his clubs.

FORT BAYARD Is
AFTER LEGION s
STATE OFF ices
Wants Headquarters Re-
moved From Capital; Man
at the Hospital Seeks
Commandership.

Especial Correspondence to The journal ,
Fort Bayard, n. NJ, Aug. 25.-
The Fort Bayard delegation to the
state convention of the American
legion in Las Vegas. August %, 20
and 80, left Thursday determined
to bring back to Fort Bayard the
state commandership and state
headquarters. Joseph c. Wallach
commander of the local post was en-
dorsed for state commander by the
local post at a meeting last Thurs.
day night. AS Fort Bayard with u
mem bership OF 500, has A dele
gates of the 1870 at the state con
vention, it can easily be seen thar
the wishes of Chester l.. Thompson
Post will he listened to with more
than ordinary interest by the dele
gates.
In order to move state headquar-
ters to Fort Bayard it will he nee
essary to amend the department
constitution, which now provides
that the state capital shall be state
headquarters. An amendment to
this effect is being fostered by Al
buquerquo lcgionnaires. As Albu-
duerque, Silver City, Deming and
Roswell delegates are said to be
behind Fort Bayard in this move,
there is a strong prospect that
state headquarters will be removed
to Fort Bayard and that Joe Wal
ZACH will he the next state corr
mander. WalIach has not author
lied the use of his name as can
didate. but II is understood
through his friends that he Is in n
receptive mood. II will mean a
great deal to southern New Mex
leo to have state headquarters at
Bayard. The Santa Fe post is eX-
pected to fight the proposed
amendment allowing state head
quarters to be allowed in the home
of the state commander, because
under the present constitution only
member of the Santa Fe post can
be state adjutant, the only salaried

Washington. Aug. 25.-Declaring
that the recent leasing Of the Tea

ming strengthened mOnopolisti1
control of the oil industry Senator
Kendrick, democrat. Wyoming, told
the senate in a speech late todaT
that the contract which turned over
the field to Sinclair oil interests
was vicious and criminally waste
ful" and that it would eventually
plague and even damn the admir-
istration."
The terms OF the lease. the sena
tor said, we're not only improVideyt
but would cause a shameful and
unnecessary destruction" of the
final naval oil reserve. He added
that 1t would not promote conlpe-
tition as claimed. but in time Of
huge overprOduction aid in turn
ing to private interests the millions
of dollars which the government
would realize" were the properly
to have been properly handled.
Fairs Claim Of Drainage.
The senator said the claim that It
was necessary to drill wells In the
Teapot reserve was not worthy OF
serious consideration. inasmuch Al
any assertion of such drainage fcr
an area of greater than ten acres
never had been substantlated by
scientists. He added that, of all
the myths and fables constructed
by the secretary OF the interior" u,
defense of the lease. none had less
real substance than that concern
ing drainage. Public attention
again had been attracted to the
Teapot Dome incident by the recent
sending of a detachment of ma
rines there to eject drilling crew !,
he said This action, he added
was done with the approval OF the
president. but added it was 'inex-
cusable" and was done over the
protests of the state authorities,

| had had no trouble since the re-
serve was first set aside in keeping
drillers out. and declared II wouli
have had no trouble in the future
despite arguments to the contrary
by federal officials here.
Analyses Contract.
In an analysis of the contrast
given "he Mammoth oil COMPANY
organized by the Sinclair interests
and which Senator Kendrick sad
maintained a "brotherly relation
ship" with the STANDARD interests"
the Wyoming senator declared that
it gave to the lessee a lower royalt"
rate than is provided in other fed

added, meant that the government
eventually would suffer the loss Of
huge sums in addition to possible
shortage Of oil for the navy, thu
object OF the tablishment Of the
reserve.
Criticising the lease further
Senator KendriCk said it provides

oeared ell but meant nothing. He
laimed that the contract rates
