Nashbille. Tenn. July 27.-CF)-
More than $50 patients. SO Of them
listed as criminals, escaped from
the main building of the Central
State Hospitals for the Insane early
today. when fire destroyed the two
upper floors.
Nine hundred of the 1872 patients
were back in the institution at dawn.
three hours after the blaze had been
brought under control.
Nashville police and officials Of
the institution were organizing an
intensive search for the others. IL
of whom were considered extremely
dangerous. It was expected that $50
Of the missinb patients would retnrn
of thei rown accord. or would be
brought in soon, as they were in
offensive.
Midnight Fire
The main building. which is SO
years old. caught fire about mid
night. The blaze gained great head
way before two companies of the
Nashville fire department and a
squad Of police reserves arrived.
All occupants Of the main building
were driven from their beds scantily
clad. guards and nurses taking only
time to warn inmates of their dan
ger. Whether or not there was loss
of life was not determined early to-
day. pending an investigation.
Warning shouts of guards, police
and firemen added to the terror of
the inmates. who, soaked by driz-
zling rain, darted across fields and
down highways and railroad tracks
illuminated by the flames.
When the upper walls started
crumbling the patients who re-
NAMED clustered about the insti-
tuition screamed and moaned in fear,
and broke through the police lines
repeatedly.
Countryside Warned
Officers tried frantically to round
them into other buildings of the in
stitution, and deputies posted or
highways took many of them to po-
lice stations in the city. although, So
far as could be determined. none OF
the dangerous criminals had beer
accounted for.
IA dawn the alarm was sounded
throughout the countryside, and
residents were put on their guard by
police messengers.
Many of the patients helped
guards with the unmanagable in
mates during the worst Of the dis
order. and some were drafted to aid
the firemen.
Some thirty nurses and guards
and doctors fled without their be-
lingings. The ydid not have time
even to salvage records of the insti-
tuition. This constituted serious
problem, as many Of the inmates
mostly the missing. probably may
never be identified again.
The loss was estimated at
$25O,OOO.

MOBILE LEAVES.
HEALTH BROKEN
AND ENFEEBLED
Hostile Cries From Crowd on
Quay Force Italians Be-
low Decks
ONE MAN is CHEERFUL
Cheers Greet Swedes While
Kisses Envelop Dirigible's
Crew

Narvik, Norway, July 27.-(AP)
The north's farewell to the sur
vivors Of the Italia when they
started for home was Kisses. Today
they were rushing southwark in q
special car to Italy where they will
face an inquiry into their fatal trip
to the pole.
Cheers sped the airship on its way
when it departed from Vadsoe on
May 5 for the Arctic. and the town
was decked with bunting and flags
in their honor. Hostility kept them
aboard their base ship, the Citta di
Milano, yesterday until the train was
ready to take them home.
General Umberto Mobile, COM
mander of the dirigible, looked like q
man broken physically and mentally.
He was pale, thin and stopped and
his haggard face showed plainly the
strain of worry and illness.
When the Citta di Milano arrived
at Fagernes, about two miles from
Narvik. the crowd waiting on the
quay ignored the appeals of the Ital-
ian crew to take the mooring rope
cast ashore. A sailor was forced to
jump to the quay to tie the ship and
finally a boy of eleven pitied them
and helped in the mooring.
Hostility Shown Zappi
Captain Filippo Zappi. navigator
Of the airship. appeared on deck in
tending to so to buy some clothes.
There were hostile cries from the
crowd on the quay and he decided to
remain aboard the shin.
There was a military air about the
vessel. Marines with bayonets fixed
stood guard over the gangplank.
Mobile did not appear for some
time after the ship had been moored.
He was working in the cabin and it
was stated he had been spending
much time compiling a report of the
expedition. He has now recovered
sufficiently to stand without a stick.
but is still much broken down.
During the afternoon the Italians
appeared on the deck of the vessel.
Natalie Ceccioni, motor chief, whose
leg. broken in tho crash of the air
ship, was bandaged, appeared to be
the merriest. He jumped around on
crutches with great cigar in his
mouth.
When the survivors landed Radio
Operator Giuseppi Biagi came down
the gangplank first. He threw him
self in the arms of his brother who
was awaiting him. Ceccioni fol-
lowed, refusing help.
Mobile Feeble
General Mobile still seemed nerv-
Gus when he said farewell to the
officers Of the Citta di Milano. He
walked down the gangplank feebly
and nearly stumbled.
A large crowd had assembled on
the quay by this time. There was
some kissing, but no disorder and
only two policemen were present.
The members of the Swedish re-
lief expedition who are travelling to
Stockholm by the same train were
loudly cheered as they boarded their
car.
The passage of the Citta di M.iano
from Spitzbergen to Narvik was
very slow. 1t was stated that this
was because Captain Alberto Mar
iano was still very i'll.
Mariano's leg became frostbitten
while waiting on the ice for rescue
with Zappi and it was amputated
after he and Zappi had been rescued
by the Russian ice breaker Krassin
on July IL.

Democrat Calls on Farmers to
Oppose Election of Secre.
tary of Commerce
FETISHEs CHALLENGED
Religious Intolerance Issue
Squarely Met by Smith
Party, Speaker Says

Des Moines, Iowa, July 27.-F)-
Democrats in the present political
campaign have no need to back
track or seek desperately to get into
a "band wagon" for democracy
stands today for the same brand Of
farm relief as it did months ago and
is not asking the people to endorse
a blanket contract on the assurance
of Herbert Hoover that it is all GO
ing to be taken care of and in due
time, G. A. Kenderine, Of Iowa City,
temporary chairman, declared today
before the Democratic state conven-
tion here.
Those Of you who believe in Nc
Nary Haugenism and the equaliza-
tion fee, may place the failure Of
that program if you will where it
belongs, but do not charge it to the
door Of the Democratic party, but
rather to the door of Calvin Cool
idge, controlled, as is the general
belief, by none other than the secre-
tary of commerce, Herbert Hoover,
now candidate on the Republican
ticket for president with the en-
dorsement of Calvin Coolidge"
kenderine said.
"Protestations of a Hoover may
fool Brookhart, placate a Dickin-
son Congressman L. j. Dickinson,
Of Iowa) and satisfy a John Ham,
mill, (governor of Iowa. but they
will not satisfy the men and women
Of the farms and the towns of Iowa
we who realize the states prob
lens and know that when bread was
asked the farmer was given q
stone."
"In the campaign of 1925" Mr..
kenderine said, ''two historic
fetishes have been challenged which
have existed for years, and we be-
lieve, without sanction or approval,
amid a great mass of cross-section
q Of the American people, One is that
q Catholic may not be elected pres
ident of the United States; the
other that a citizen south of the
Mason Dixon, line likewise is pro-
scribed from that high office.
THE Democratic party by its ma
tional nominations today, proclaims
it's freedom from the old bigotries
and prejudices Of sectional hate and
religious intolerance, and challenges
all forward looking men and women
who believe in united country and
in real equality before the law to
express their opinion by their VOTE "
Touching upon the Republican ad-
ministration at Washington, Mr..
kenderine said:
"You farmers of Iowa and of the
nation who have had your taste of a
Hoovcrized, Coolidgeized, Mellon
lied, industrialized administration,
you know, if you are thinking men,
too well, what your fate will be if
this condition is to be continued and
your woes are not assuaged. Up in
North Dakota they told you to go
home and slop your hogs, that legis-
lation was no concern Of farmers,
that that would be attended to by
the wise men in the legislative
bodies.
Down in Kansas City, they
slammed doors in your faces and
summoned the police to drive you
hence, lest your complaints might
receive too wide attention and cause
too much unfavorable newspaper
publicity"
