CONVICT MINERS
ARE IN MUTINY
DEEP IN EARTH
Officers, Guards and 375
Convicts Are Locked
In Coal Mine.

LANSING, Kan, July 10-Six-
teen officers and guards and 975
miner-convicts are locked in the
coal mine of the Kansas State Peni-
tentiary 730 feet below the surface,
after a mutiny of the conyiets
The miners blocked the cage in
the shaft making 1t impossible to
send help down to the guards. The
prisoners tied the cage at the bot
tom of the shaft and cut the tele-
phone wires.
The prison officials express no
concern over the safety of the
guards and it is said the mutineers
will end resistance and come out
when they feel the pangs of hunger.
The Warden said he will make
no special efforts to send additional
guards below, in fact he was doubt
full if the shafts bottom could be
reached without the use of the cage
now in possession of the convicts.
A group of prisoners tied the
cage down several years ago and
refused for a time to come up but
there was no serious trouble.

CERTIFIED BY EXPERTS

able to verify all of Byrd's computa-

and also that they made a satisfac-

the sun compass used by the conf
mander On his polar flight.
Time Checks Within Minute
The experts calculation of the
time of arrival at the North Pole
differed from Byrd's by less than a
minute, he having figured he had
reached his goal at nine hours two
minutes.
Flying his plane to the right long
enough to take two sextant obserya-
tions," they reported, "he turned
around and took two more observa-
tions These four observations con
firmed his dead reckoning position
of the Pole. He then attempted to
fly his plane in circle several miles
in diameter. with his Pole position
as a center.
Flying at and about the Pole at
an altitude of 5000 feet. Byrd's field
of view was a circle of more than
120 miles in diameter The exact
point of the North Pole was close
to the center of the circle and, in
his near foreground and during more
than two hours of his flight, was
within his ken"
