BIZ United Press
LEAVENWORTH, Kan. Aug. g.
Troops at Ft. LeayenTorth, includ-
ing crack machine gun squads, were
prepared today to cope with any
further outbreaks at LeaYenWorth
penitentiary where one prisoner was
killed and three others we're serious
ly injured in a Seven-hour riot.
Armed guards patrolled the cell
houses. All prisoners we're locked
up as officials searched for Teapons
and explosives.
The convicts vent supperleSs
Thursday night and breakfastless
today. Men working in kitchens
were not allowed out OF their cells.
Details of the rioting. which be-
gan at Thursdays MONDAY meal,
were yet to be learned. Officials re-
fused to give out information. None
from the outside has been allowed
within the prison walls, Warden
Thomas B. White said an official
statement would be issued later in
the day from Washington.
Trouble had been brewing for
some time. Last week a prisoner
killed the foreman of the laundry
A quarrel occurred in the shoe shou
Thursday.
Prisoners Were SuIlen
The prisoners we're sullen as they
we're marched into the mess hall
at noon. At their plates was Mexi-
can rice. They had complained
several times about this dish. Plates
began to fly. Windows we're broken.
Men confined to cells tore I'D their
bedding and sought to wrench the
bars.
Guards began to fire into the
rioting mob. Mike Martinez. 38, a
Mexican, sentenced from Texas, was
killed.
The prisoners shouts and the
rat-tat-tat of the guns could be
heard In LeavenWorth, although the
penitentiary is a mile outside the
city.
No Guards Killed
Hundreds rushed to the prison.
The gates were closed. None we're
allowed to communicate inside.
Anxious wives and children of the
guards begged In vain for news from
within. 1t was hours before they
learned no officials nor guards we're
slain or injured.
Nearly $500 men are doing time in
the penitentiary which, according to
officials, has Accommodations for only
half that many. There are only 10
guards.
When the riot became serious,
White said, guards we're ordered to
fire on the most obstreperous of the
convicts, OF the three who we're in
jured, he said, one is In a serious
condition, but probably will live,
while two suffered only minor in
juries. None of the guards vas in
jured. The dead convict, he added,
was killed as he stood at a window
hurling missiles at a guard below.
White gave no reason for the up
rising.

ABOARD THE GRAF ZEPPELIN,
Aug. Our progress, retarded for
a while by the bad weather along
the Rhone valley, was satisfactory
during the night, with the five new
motors flmctioning perfectly and
pushing the dirigible along at high
rate of speed.
For the most part, the passengers
on board we're calm and confident
when the Graf passed through the
stormy area Thursday, although
women we're slightly nervous when
we encountered strong ilead-Winds
shortly before lunch, winds which
buffeted the ship about considerably
for an hour or so along the Rhone.
Much Stormy Weather
1t was along the same stretch that
we encountered so much stormy
weather during our last start for
the United States several weeks ago,
when We were compelled to land at
Toulon, France. Our progress was
retarded for while Thursday, but
now we are sailing along smoothly.
Our route across France and the
Mediterranean was not what DR..
Hugo Eckener, the commander, had
planned. But it was necessary for
use to make the detour in order to
avoid storm from the north and
east sections of Spain.
There was much excitement
aboard Thursday when a water tank
located over the salon, burst, sat-
urating the whole ceiling. This soon
was fixed and our bridge games in
the salon continued We had an
excellent session of bridge during
the afternoon.
Bottle COrks Pop
When we left Friedrichshafen q
huge crowd was at the field to see
US off.
Jacobim Rickard arrived at the
hangar at the last minute and got
on the ship just a few seconds be-
fore she was ready for the take-off.
AS soon as the ship was off We
began to open bottles of champagne.
which, Of course, resulted in late
breakfasts in the morning.
The young German stoWaWay who
is aboard will be deported innme-
diately upon our arrival in the
United States.
He will be sent back to Germany
and severely punished for endan-
gering the lives of those on the ship
by jumping on top Of the bag from
the hangar.
He now is a prisoner in tine crews
quarters.
Strong head winds have retarded
our speed so far.

A BRILLIANT LIGHT GOES OUT.

brilliant light went out when Lewis P. Shackle- ford died in Tacoma. He had many of the char aceristics of genius. With fine legal education and brilliant mind he who arrived at quick conclusions and usually acted quickly. Yet he capable of careful preparation and usually went into court fully fortified with thoughtful consideration of the authorities and all of the facts It is very unfortunate that he permitted himself to give so much time to politics and to business ventures and promotions. If he had practiced law throughout his years with the assiduity that char acterzed his brother the brilliantly successful Judge John A. Shackeford, he unquestionaby would have taken rank among the greatest lawyers of the Pacific Coast.
 One of the chief characteristics of MT. Shackle- ford was his loyalty to friends and associates. This applied in his social life and to his lawyer and politician. He stood steadfast in the fight-so steadfast that he often criticized for the lengths to which he would go to win for his cause and his friends and associates.
 III health burdened MT. Shackeford for several years, but when he employed about two years ago in the litigation between Inventor Carlson and the smelterS that had used his patents, which survived attack, it soon demonstrated that he
 was still the shrewd, capable lawyer that he Ina

 We're probably a nut, but for a girl to hang earrings on her ears always looks as silly to us as hang ing lace curtains at the windows of flivver coupe.
