SMASH LOCKS ON CELLS
Tear Bombs, Machine Guns
Are Ready to RepuSe
Freedom Break.
BY HARRY w. SHARPE
United Press staff Correspondent

COLUMBUS, o., April 28.-An-
other convict rebellion at the state
penitentiary was thwarted today
when prison officials braved danger
infested cells and isolated ring lead
ers who had been attempting to in
cite mutiny.
With 200 heavily armed policemen
and deputies massed in battle for
nation in the prison quadrangle,
guards under direction of Deputy
Warden j. G. Woodland, entered the
cell blocks, segregated the trouble
makers and removed them to the
penitentiary dungeon.
The time for words has passed"
Warden Thomas said. This rebel
lion must be put down at any
cost"
Troops Mass Outside
The policemen and deputies were
marched into the prison at $50
a m. while 300 national guardsmen
and naval reserves under Colonel
Robert Haubrick surrounded the
prison wall, placed machine guns
and automatic rifles at strategic
points and armed themselves with
hand grenades and tear and gas
bombs. The blue coats inside we're
similarly armed.
Issuing orders that the prisoners
return to work in the prison shops,
Warden Thomas directed guards to
march the men to the mess hall
for breakfast, then assemble them
at the chapel. where Woodland and
one of the so-called ring-leaders,
Murray Wolfe. exhorted them to
maintain order.
Gull Out Leaders
While 800 convicts were at the
chapel, half the police guard was
narshaled in front of the White
City cell block, where the insurrec-
ton was fomented and guards
passed among the prisoners who
had refused to leave the block, GULL
ing out the agitatorS.
With the leaders confined in the
dungeon, Warden Thomas said he
believed complete order would be re-
stored quickly.
When the prisoners refused to go
to the shops they we're not pressed.
No man raised a hand in violence,
although one Negro was brought
rom the interior on a Stretcher,
presumably after a fight with in
mates.
To Be Transferred
Thomas said the LEADERS,
which he expected to number fifty,
would be transferred to the London
prison farm, twenty-five miles west
Of here.
Rebellion has fiared sporadically
since last Thursday. the day after
more than three hundred prisoners
persisted when sections G and H Of
the west cell block were swept by
fire.
Failing in attempts to incite a
general break, the ring-leaders or
ganized and persuaded the convictS
to refuse to work.
Threats of force by the warden
we're met with defiance.
Asked If he intended to use force
on the prisoners, the warden said:
we will attempt peaceful means
firSt--but we might have to use
force"
When the A and B convicts be-
came unrIly Sunday night. Deputy
Warden j. c. Woodland ordered cof-
fee and decks of cards distributed to
them. Many played poker into the
dawn.
A Bible confscated from one pris-
oner Sunday contained a knife and
two small saw blades.
Police Chief French was in charge
of the policemen. He revealed they
had been told to shoot to kill'' If
necessary TO overcome resistance.

NO TEAPOT DRAINAGE,
WALSH is CONVINCED
Gas Pressure Tests Have Settled
Question, Senator Who Prose
cuted Inquiry Holds.

An important issue of the Teapot
Dome naval oil reserve scandal
whether the reserve could be drained
by nearby fields-has been settled in
the opinion of Senator Walsh. Demo-
crat, Montana, who prosecuted the
inquiry.
It was the contention Of Albert B.
Fall, former Secretary of Interior that
one of his reasons for leasing the
reserve to Harry F. Sinclair and others
was to prevent its drainage by the
nearby Salt Creek fields in Wyoming.
Herman Stabler, chief engineer Of
the conservation branch Of the Geologi-
cal Survey, now reports that there has
been virtually no drainage from the
Teapot Dome reserve although produc-
ton has continued in the Salt Greek
fields.
MY information" said Senator
Walsh today, "is that careful tests Of
the gas pressure in the wells drilled in
the dome reveal that there has been
no diminution, fact that is regarded
by experts as conclusive that there has
been no drainage from that area into
the Salt Greek or any other field"
Senator Walsh, however, challenged
a contention that recent estimates
showing a capacity of "a Loco, 900 barrels
for Teapot Dome were far below pre-
vious estimates of its capacity. He said
that was believed to be the value of
the property when the Senate inquiry
was made.
