Scores Wounded When
Guards, Emergency
Officers And Citi-
zens Quell Riot

DANNEMORA, n. Y, July 22.-tP
Three convicts, two Of them serv-
ing life sentences, were shot and
killed during a riot of 1900 inmates
of Clinton prison here today, War
den Harry M. Kaiser said in state
ment issued after the revolt had
been quelled and the prisoners had
marched back to their cells early
this afternoon. A score of inmates
were in the prison hospital being
treated for gun shot wounds in
flicted by armed guards during the
revolt.
AS the convicts filed into their
cells under the watchful eyes Of 1924
prison guards, state troopers, GUS
tom border patrolmen and private
citizens, all heavily armed, they left
behind them three of their number,
dead in the prison yard, and assisted
at least a score Of others injured by
rifle fire from the prison walls.
The attempt to gain freedom oc-
Cured about a. m. The group Of
convicts. working in the carpenter
shop dropped their work. hurled
aside the guards and broke for the
nearest prison wall, stopping only 10
fire the shop.
Open Fire
Guards on the wall opened fire,
and almost at the same instant the
prison siren walled out its warning
of an attempted prison break. Rifle
fire from the wall turned back the
prisoners who had attempted to
scale it by the human ladder meth
Cd, one climbing on the shoulders Of
the others.
Two dropped to the ground,
stopped by bullets, while others stag
gered back under the hail Of rifle
fire.
Two guards were injured. They
were Phillip Murphy and F. G.
Bressette, caught in the first rush
Of the revolving convicts. Murphy
was struck on the head with stone
as the prisoners broke from the car
penter shop. Bressette wag in the
ward when the disturbance broke out
and was badly beaten before ne
escaped from the mob, which surged
around him with shouts Of XIII
hirn!"
The rioters, according to prison
guards. were all from the group in
the carpenter shop, where discon1'
tent was said to have been Smoul-
dering for some time. Several hunc
dred convicts in the south hall OF
the prison remained at work and
did not attempt to join the riot.
Tailor Shop Burns
The tailor shop, adjoining the
carpenter shop, caught fire from the
spreading flames and prison officials
were powerless to combat the blaze
as the conviCts held the prison yard.
Many Of them carried tools with
them. which while ineffective
against rifles at long range, could
prove deadly if officials had entered
the yard.
Meanwhile, the regular prison
guards had been reinforced by every
available state trooper and customs
border patrolmen while two COM
panies of the 26th states infantry ar
rived from Plattsburgh barracks un-

I'm OUR
VALLEY

THOUSANDS of Valley citizens
and tourists missed their Sunday
afternoon dip in the surf.
Hard showers of rain fell on The
road to Boca Chica Sunday morn
ing and there was some rain on the
Point Isabel road.
More hardy motorists-those who
were most anxious to visit the guIf
put on chains and made It
through to Boca Chica. But a a;rge
number Of cars attempting to get
through were stuck in the mud and
other motorists who had gone to
the beach before the rain had diff
ficulty in getting home.
THE ROAD to Point Isabel was
In better condition and number
Of cars got through, but the Sun
day crowd was greatly reduced.
The water was unusually fine, be-
ing clear as a crystal, although the
waves were not high enough for
real sport.
The rain not only ruined an out
ing for thousands Of persons it
ruined a day of business for bath
house operators and other business
places at both beaches.
Some day paved roads will con-
meet the beaches with the Valley
and then there will be no more dis
appointments.
Tourists at the seaside demand
that the surf be available at any
hour of the day or night. They have
right to make this demand.
The gulf coast is the Valleys
greatest recreational asset.
a WOMAN visitor from Oklahoma
Is not familiar with bathhoue prac-
tices.
She paid 35 cents for suit at
O beach bath house.

and started to leave with it.

had not bought the suit.

she asked.
She didn't.

It also leads in quantity-and

Ice plants belonging to the Cen
trail Power and Light Co. located
in various Valley towns already
have a capacity of more than 1000
tons per day.
Now the company is to add 210
tons per day to this By erecting
new plants at Mercedes and Elsa Of
$50 and so tons capacity.
The company supplies ice for
icing vegetables and fruit, IN addl-
ton to selling a large part Of the
ice consumed in Valley homes, les
taurants, meat markets and the
like.
Approximately 10000 cars of per-
tsfables we're shipped under refIig-
Grafton last season.
All of these were iced by the Cen

located over the Valley.
Not all of the capacity Of the new
Mercedes plant will be needed at
present, Frank Ludden, manager Of
the company, explains, but the COM
pany, following its set policy, plans
