held for early trial in superior court

men, II of them convicts, died dur
ing the mutiny or from wounds re-
eeived in the fighting.

attorney, had read the complaint to
the accused men, James Gregg, sem

gee anybody or the chance to talk

constitutional rights would be re
spected and it was pointed out that
no promise of special consideration
had been given before the surrender
other than that each of the ring lead
ers would receive one square meal 2
Gay instead of straight bread AMI
water diet.
Although prison officials and rep
rcsentatives of the prosecutor of
flee refused confirmation or denial
reports that Gleason was getting
ready to turn state s evidence were
gaining strength today.
Gleason was quoted as telling 4
prison guard that "life looks pret
t. good to me even if it is behind
prison walls. -
This remark of Gleason was conn.
led with statement from the
prosecutors office that at the tria1
witness would be produced who ac,
taally saw Singleton stabbed.
1t was generally believed Gleason
would be that witness, and that in
return he would be let off with 4
sentenced no longer than the one he
is now serving.

WASHINGTON, Dec. l. - Vice
President Charles G. Dawes, after
calling at the White House today,
declared he is not a candidate for
president and that he unqualifiedly
supports the candidacy Of former
Governor Lowden Of Illinois.
Dawes said that while he would
work this session for s:mylification
Of senate rules, he was not going
to make an aggressive fight because
whatever he said would be unmis-
takably interpreted as an effort ON
his part to exploit himself in a per-
sonal or political way.
The vice president, who called at
the White House to pay respects,
was extremely reticent on leaving
the executive, but on being question
ed by newspapermen became so agi-
tated that he called them to anteroom
and with the aid Of the White House
stcnographer dictated a statement
while pacing the floor excitedly.
Dawes said he favored the Norris
amendment to the constitution abol.
ishing the short session of congress
If this amendment was adopted,
he asserted the evils of the filibust.
er would be lessened, but not at all
destroyed. The filibuster in the last
session resulted in n feeling among
senators themselves that a change
in the rules was not only advisable
but necessary, he said.
