CANON CITY, Colo, Oct. Two
convicts we're in solitary confine-
ment at the state penitentiary today
following discovery that two more
Tevolvers had been smuggled into
the prison, where rioting cost twelve
lives and $4,000 900 damage Thursday
and Friday.
, Convict Leo W. McGentry, Denver
gunman. was locked in solitary Sun
day. Charles Davis, La Animas
county bandit, previously had been
confined after testimony of about
thirty convicts had been heard by
authorities investigating the riot.
1t IA believed the two prisoners
could shed light on how arms and
ammunition were smuggled into the
penitentiary, making possible the
sanguinary battle between mutineerS
and an army of national guards
men, prison guards and citizen
volunteers.
Killed Followers
After killing three guards. five
convictS barricaded themselves in a
cell house with other guards as hos
tages. They murdered four before
A. A. Danny Daniels, the leader,
ended the carnage by shooting down
his four followers and committing
suicide. The property damage re-
suited from the burning of prison
buildings by the rebels and blasting
resorted to by national guard
forces.
The two revolvers were found in a
coal pile. Daniels and Jimmy Par
due, his chief accomplice in melting
the mutiny, we're coal shovelerS,
handling the fuel as it came from
the cOnvict-worked mines.
Warden F. Eugene Crawford, who
thought his only wound was from a
shotgun slug which struck his head,
discovered he had a bullet imbedded
in his chest. Tt had passed a quar-
ter Of an inch below his heart, ply

Doctors probed for the bullet Sum-
day but we're unable to recover it.

ford will go to Denver today to at

A statement, printed in the Rocky
Mountain News, credited to a Den
yer business man and ex-convict,
said officials Of the p~enitentiary
knew Of the smuggling of guns into
the prison.
The e~x-convict is quoted as say
ing that he would be willing to ex-
pose a dope and liquor smuggling
ring In the p~enitentiary if insured
protection by the state.
The statement goes so far as to
charge that Boon Best, former war
den Of the penitentiary, was killed
because he was attempting to break
up the smuggling.
Best died when his automobile,
driven by a convict. was struck by

machine on a railroad track.

YORK LINKED
With EvAS|vE
SCHOOL DEALS
Supplies Are Bought With
Bidding Eliminated by
Business Manager.
SHIP is BENEFICIARY
System Is Exposed by Tax
Board Member; ZoerCher
ASsaiIs Transaction.

G. G. York, business manager of
the Indianapolis schools, vas linked
definitely today with the system of
making supply purchases totalling
thousands of dollars without COM
petitive bidding or contract.
The system was exposed by Phil
Zoercher of the state tax board
and condemned as being vicious
and illegal"
Under the present Indianapolis
school statutes, no purchase for
more than 5000 can be made with
out bids and contract.
Zoercher today displayed a series
Of orders signed by York, by which
$500 worth of "Red Star scrubbing
compound was bought in evasion
of the law by making orders for less
than 5000. The entire amount was
purchased from the Corkins
Chemical Company, Cincinnati,
during September of this year. All
orders were signed by York.
Had Denied System
Four of them, for $3.50 each, were
issued on Sept. ~. On Sept. 10, 20
and 81 he issued orders for sixty
gallons of the scrubbing compound
a day, all scheduled for use at the
school syStetm shops. Each order
was for the technically legal, but
debatable $120.
York had denied that this system
of purchasing is in use at a hearing
before the tax board ten days ago.
At that time Zoercher had con-
fronted school officials with orders
for G. c. Ship ventilating supplies
for School SO, bought on the 5000
installment plan and totaling more
than $4,000.
Carl w. FIrton, superintendent of
buildings and grounds for the
schools, pointed out that these pur-
chases we're made back in 1928, be-
fore York became business manager.
THAT couldn't happen under me-"
York asserted.
Other Orders Barred
zoercher also displayed other or
ders today, showing how $1,682.20
worth of plumbing supplies and
$1,063.34 worth of radiators we're
purchased under the law evasion
system. All purchases we're made in
June and July 1928, from the Cen
trail Supply Company.
Deliveries we're to School SO, indi-
eating that plumbing and heating
units were installed there without
bidding and contract, zoercher
pointed out.
This system has prevailed
throughout the regime Of the pres
ent school board and officials indi-
Gated that it will continue as long
as they remain in power.

New Nonstop Distance Record
Established by French Ai17nen
Coste and BeIIonte Land in
Manchuria; Travel
1888 Miles.

By United Press
PEIPING, Oct. 1.-THE French
legation received a telegram from
the French fiers, Dieudonne Coste
and Mauric Bellonte, today saying
they had flown 1888 miles without a
stop from Lebourget field, Paris, to
Manchuria, to break the worlds
record for nonstop, long distance
flight.
The telegram, signed "Coste and
Bellonte" read:
Landed safely on remote desert
Of Heilung Chang, Sept. %. COW
cred 1888 miles, continuous flight,
breaking all records. Travelled
week, reaching Tsitsihar. Oct. g."
The estimate of the distance of
the flight made by Coste and Bel
lonte was higher considerably than
early approximations which had
been made on a basis OF geograph-
ical position. However, consider
ing that the flierS left LIE Bourget
field with fuel for fifty hours fly
ing and that aided by favorable
winds they had averaged at times
as high as 1875 miles an hour, the
5,958-mile figure appeared probable.
Because of the scarcity of reports,
it could not be determined to what
extent the airmen varied from the
straightline course, which would
account for the nearly 1000 miles
difference between their estimate
and the straight-line distance be-
tween Paris and Tsitsihar.
Their statement that the fight
had been made without a stop left
no doubt that they had broken the
record of the Italians, Arturo Fer
rarin and Carlo Del Prete, who flew
from Rome to Brazil in July, 1928.
