BALTIMORE, September 18.-After a
riot last night threats of a general strike
at the Maryland State Penitentiary here
were made this morning by prisoners.
Guards were redoubled. A score of
city policemen and 10 city detectives
were called to the prison
Guards herded 300 prisoners from the

stools and anything that came handy
and throwing everything loose at the
guards who patrolled the corridors.
Report Held Cause.
Officials of the prison said that re-
port of Stuart S. Janney, director of
the State Bureau of Welfare, abSolving
the officials and guards of the prison of
charges of cruel and inhuman treatment
of prisoners, which was made to Gov.
Albert c. Richie Saturday was respon-

WRANGL|NG MARKS
VARE-W|LSON CASE
Senate Body Fails to Make
Progress Due to Tits Be-
tween Counsel.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Further effort to get light on the
Ware Wilson senatorial election contest
of 1926 was made today before the Sen
ate investigating committee, but the
constant legal squabble prevented much
progress.
Ralph H. Frank, counsel for William
B. Wilson, the Democratic opponent OF
william S. Ware. called E. B. Babcock,
county commissioner of Allegheny
County, to question him as to charges
of fraud in the Pittsburgh primaries
of 1926. From the moment the wit
ness took the stand there was en-
Uttered language, as counsel for the
Ware forces insisted that the primary
election of 1926 had nothing to do with
the general election, the result OF which
Wilson has protested.
II propose to show election frauds,
ballot box frauds, other frauds" Frank
asserted, land that the primary is part
of the general election system in Penn
sylvania; that there was fraud in both
elections and that the matter Is a
continuing system"
Questions Alleged Plot.
In the ensuing argument, Edward
Kelly, chief counsel for Ware, demanded
to know "how Ware, loser in the Al
legheny County primary, could have
been an element in the conspiracy that
carried the county against him. Charles
D. Pritchard of Pittsburgh, Keily's as
sociate, contributed the remark that
the Wilson lawyer was "again using thu,
committee to broadcast repeated
charges of fraud which they never
prove" -.
While Roland B. Mahany, another OF
the Wilson representatives, demanded
projection from the committee against
! ,,nseemlv imputations," Chairman
Waterman sought to stop the wrangle
He ruled that Frank could proceed with
questions as to the primary election
though the evidence might not be ad-
mitted later by the committee, and en-
deavored to stem the flow OF objections
by additional rulings with the threat
that sit might be necessary to exclude
somebody" unless the controversy
quoted.
One Box Affected.
Babcock, when allowed to testify, de-
clared that the Allegheny County re-
turning board had not found election
frauds in Pittsburgh ''of sufficient con-
sequence to leave mark in my MEM
ory." Frank pushed the examination as
| to one contest there affecting the
status of State legislative candidates
and Babcock said this affected just one
election ballot box out of 1,400."
| Chairman Waterman seriously cues
toned the bearing of the testimony
sought on the senatorial contest, on the
ground that "a primary election is only
an interparty squabble" and that the
general election was the real object Of
the investigation. He assured the Ware
lawyer that they would be given every
opportunity to argue before the full
committee for the rejection Of thu
testimony they contested.
