Suggests insurgents Should
Join RepubIicans-0utIines
Proposed Program.

Abandonment of the traditional in.
surgent policy of absenting them
selves from regular Republican con-
ferences was urged yesterday by Sena-
tor Nye of North Dakota, one of their
members. The insurgents should
seize the opportunity furnished by
their control of the balance of power
and put forward a constructive pro-
gram in the next Senate, he said.
Such a program should be carried to
the conference and its adoption urged
there.
Senator Nye said the opportunity
was especially favorable" for this
group to establish once and for all
it's position las a constructive in
fiuence" and dispel the idea often put
forward that it entertains radical
ideas" and is a force of dissatisfac-
ton.
Program of legislation.
Outlining what he regards as a
constructive program of legislation,
the North Dakota Senator declared
first for a farm relief bill along the
lines of the McNary-Haugen measure
and secondly for the solution of the
Mississippi River flood problem.
Any Treasury surplus remaining
after these major problems ndo DeeH
taken care of would be devoted to re-
tirement of the public debt, with no
income tax reduction, but rather with
an increase in the upper surtaX
brackets.
In Nye Program.
Other proposals in the Nye pro-
gram are:
Pass the Norris constitutional
amendment abolishing the short ses-
sions of Congress.
Government operation Of Muscle
Shoals.
Repeal the McFadden branch bank
bill and decline to recharter the Fed
eral Reserve system until the dan
gerous powers exercised by the Fed
eral Reserve Board are curbed by
legislation.
Encourage more definite effort in
behalf Of the Great Lakes-St. Law
renee waterway project.
Legislate against huge and exces-
sive campaign expenditures in primary
and general elections.

For some reason the three American
convicts did not accompany the
Mexicans,
The three remaining conyicts
took complete possession of the
prison and using arms given them
by the Mexicanss locked the guards
In cells.
A tremendous crowd, awakened
by the shooting which proceeded the
capture Of the prisoners, surrounded
the Jail, despite police warnings
that they might be killed.
Telephone calls to the old Joliet
penitentiary and the new one at
Statewide brought re-enforcements.
Other squads were sent out on coun.
try roads leading from Joliet toward
Chicago.
All six convicts were to have been
hanged today, but were granted q
stay by Justice Frederic d. Qoung,

ing a review Of their conviction.
The three who failed to make their
getaway from the prison, realizing
they were trapped within the Jail,
the three desperadoes cut the wires
ana threw the place into darkness.
The sheriff sent a hurried call for
reserves. Guards from the State
prison, city police and private citi-
zens came to his aid.
A Gordon of several hundred
armed officers and citizens sur.
rounded the Jail. The sheriff then
had his men hurl tear bombs into
the darkened Jail. When the con.
victs firing ceased it was believed
the tear bombs had accomplished
their. purpose. A squad of heavily
armed men advanced cautiously to.
ward the Jail. They entered the
door.
The convicts, as well as all other
prisoners were found overcome by
the fumes. The desperadoes were
quickly put in irons and then the
jail was given an airing and the
other prisoners revived.
