EXPERT EXPLAINS
CAVE-|N IN RIVER
Eventually viii Become SAD.
cerIike Depression, State
GeoIogist Asserts. ~
BY the Associated Press.


SHARON SPRINGS, Kans., March
13.-The Smoky Hill River cave-in 4
miles southeast of here probably will
result in a saucerlike depression. at
the bottom Of which will be a circular
pool of water. G. S. Lambert OF the
Kansas Geological Survey said yester-
day. The earth around the crater, Mr.
Lambert believes, will gradually crum-
BILE and subside to gentle slope.
Old Maids Pool, miles northwest or
Sharon Springs, which is older than
the memory of the Oldest resident here,
probably was caused by a subter-
ranean flaw such as Mr.. Lambert said
caused the sinking Of the earth in the
Smoky Hill River bed here Wednesday
morning. Mr.. Lambert holds to the
belief that both depressions were
caused by the absorption of subsurface
strata by water. Old Maids Pool Is a
saucerlike. depression, with water In
the bottom. ...
Fumes Of sulphur and other gases
noticed soon after the cave-in, Mr..
Lambert said, probably resulted from
the sudden oXidization of subsurface
chemicals when air was admitted with
the collapse.
Mr.. Lambert is skeptical OF the
theory that an underground stream
flows in the region. He said the water
in the great hole is the upward seep-
age Of sheet water beneath, which
exists under very low pre- ssure.

PRISONER
OF ARIZONA HELD
IN TEXAS PRISON

Frank Scott, paroled prisoner
from the Arizona penitentiary, has
jumped into trouble at Brownsville,
Texas, according to the folliwing
article from the Brownsville Herald
of January IL, and the question
is now pending whether he should
/ be imprisoned in the Texas peni-
tentiary or returned to jail in this
state.
The Brownsville newspaper pre-
sents the case in the following in
teresting manner:
Frank Scott, a paroled prisoner
from the Arizona penitentiary, wants
to get out of the Cameron county
Jail where he is held pending de-
velopment of charges of automobile
theft filed against him, so that he
can go to the Arizona penitentiary
he explains in letter to Sheriff
Sam Robertson, asking that the Ari
, zona penitentiary head be notified
of his presence.
And I respectfully turn down his
proposition" Sheriff Robertson said
this morning.
Scott was arrested here more than
a week ago along with D. L. Gentry
and Dan Miller, the three being
charged with the theft of an auto
mobile belonging to Walter Shaw of
the Llano Grande plantation near
Mercedes. The car was taken from
the street where it was left in
Brownsville and three men were
stopped in San Benito and brought
back here. The three men said they

1--WE are going to do all we can to
send him to the penitentiary here,
and give them chance to pardon
him, and then he can go back to the
Arizona penitentiary and be paroled
again" Sheriff Robertson said. "He
evidently had rather be back there
than in the Jail here"
In his letter to Sheriff Robertson,
which was written with a pencil,
Scott said, 81 want to ask you to
