CAMPAIGN ON

sheriff, and M. r. Hall, county at

means to solve a problem which
daily is becoming more and more
serious" she continued.
Service stations along all fire.
quently travelled highways will be
banrered and given information on
roads and where the driver may ex-
pect danger.
I'VE especially want to direct this
campaign at saving the lives OF
little children who often through
ignorance wander into the streets
and are run down. Mothers Of the
Valley can and will demand that
merchants employ truck drivers
who are efficient and careful. We
know that a great many of them
never have learned to control a
car in a crisis and many others
physically are unfit to be turned
loose on the highways at the wheel
Of a truck or car.
Children Killed
In this connection, I wish to call
to the attention Of the people re-
cent accidents near Raymondville
and McAllen in which children were
killed. In spite Of work already
done along this line, the percent
age OF children killed when acct
dents could have been avoided con-
Stantly is growing. It is time we
took concerted action to stop it,"
Many service bodies throughout
the Valley virtually have pledged
their support to the program of
e-ucation and I know that all of
them want to come in.
In pagan days, parents threw
their children under the wheels Of
the chariot. Are we going to let
the automobile take the place Of
the pagan chariot"
Support Enlisted
The Valley-Wide motorcade, Mrs.
Woodfin said, will be run as soon
as 1t can be assembled. Literature
which will be an important part of
the campaign, is being prepared
and the support of practically ev-
cry publication in the Valley is be-
ing enlisted.
In three or four years, we hope
avoldable accidents in the Valley
Will be only unpleasant memories"
Mrs. WoOdfin concluded.
Mrs. WoOdfin is the wife Of W. r
Woodfin, Rio Hondo, who Is asso-
clated with newspapers at Los Fres-

PRISON REGIME
AGAIN NORMAL
Defeated Convicts Subside
In Stubbornness Aft
er Rioting

DANNEMORA, N. Y, July o.
[P-Clinton state prison, known
throughout the underworld as Isl
beria," today was nearing normal
after the failure yesterday of 1900
desperate convicts to battle their
way to liberty and after a night
spent under the sleepless eyes OF
scores of guards reinforced by IA
state troopers.
The boots and Kisses and rau-
cuoas laughter flung by the con-
quered prisoners at the guards last
night after they were forced to re-
turn to their cells, leaving three of
their fellow rioters dead, had ceased.
II their place was a sullen silence,
or, at most, a guarded grumbling.
Prison, state and county authori-
ties sought to determine the back
ground of the riot L,hich led to the
simultaneous storming of three
walls by the battalions of desper-
ADDE'S yesterday morning.
The state department of correc-
ton devoted attention to a report
that the battle had its motive IN
the fact that the men had asked for
new potatoes instead Of old for their
meals, and wanted a full holiday
in the yards Sunday, requests that
had been refused. They have had
half of Sunday for baseball. games
band concerts, and other forms OF
amusement.
Warden Harry NJ. Kaiser, in q
statement, placed responsibility for
the outbreak on a group of %"lifers,'
sent to the prison from other state
penal institutions for discipline
Clinton was definitely set aside
more than a score of years ago as
a punishment prison" for tough

The Fafnirites rallied and scored two runs in the last half of the ninth to give them the game.
 Stanley Works won from the New Britain Machine by the score of to 0. Thomas Haines of Franklin street, catcher on the New Britain Machine team, suffered a fractured ankle in the eighth inning when Dick Schroeder slid into home in an attempt to score. Haines was taken to the New Britain General hospital where he was treated by Dr. Rob- bins. He was later taken to his home. The game was called at that time.
 The eighth inning was unlucky in both games because in that frame on Diamond No. 2, Lefty" Haher was knocked out when Zapatka bunt- ed along first base line and Haoer went to field the ball. Both collided and the Fafnir pitcher went out. He was revived and finished the game. His left eye was bruised.

Fafnirs came through with two run rally in the last half of the ninth inning to win a game that had apparently been sewed up early by the Rulers.
 Billy Wolfe and Lefty" Haber were in the box for their respective teams and the Stanley Rule veteran, though in no such form as he was last week, held his end up in great shape until he was hit by pitched ball at bat. This hurt Billy's leg and weakened him so that he was un- equal, to stem the tide of base hits sent out by Fafnirs in the ninth inning. Both teams hit freely, Stan ley Rule registering II hits and Faf- nirs IS.
 It looked like Stanley Rules first victory when the first inning broke. Four hits coupled with bad throw by Bucheri, gave the Rulers three runs. This looked like a perfect lead, | f,J1 INoF Frair 1n through m their half of the session with only one counter.
 Then, after two scoreless innings Fafnirs, through 9 single and a double, the single by Walicki and the two-bagger by Kenrue, got two men on and thinner" O'Brien arose 10 the occasion with a sizzling single and scored both to tie the count.
 Nothing daunted, the Rulers came back in the next session and with two out. started things popping again. Billy Darrow sliced double past the tree in right field. Argosy followed with single between first 'and second and once more the Rul- CTS were in the lead.
 Tight baseball was the order of the day for the remainder of the game and Fafnirs went into the DinAl1 inning one run behind. Fergu- son. first man up. hit single into right center. O'Brien walked.
