In the worst fire in American
history, 3l8 prisoners were burned to
death or suffocated from smoke at the
Ohio penetentiary in Columbus. Many
others suffered severe injuries; some
of the victims were long-termers,
sentenced for Is to 80 years. Various
prison officials blame each other for
being slow in opening the cells of the
doomed men. The prison, originally
built for 1900 men in 1890, had 1900
inmates at the time of the fire. This.
together with many prison riots in the
last year or so, show that something
is remarkably wrong with our prison
system.

BODY OF FRANKEL
IS BELIEVED FOUND
Journalists Discover Bones
and Other Relics Near
Camp of Andree.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
STOCKHOLM, September S.-The
frozen Northern wastes of White Island
or Hvitvoen, have given up another
body, presumably that Of the third
member of the Andree balloon expedi-
ton of 1897.
A party of journalists aboard the
sealing vessel Isbjoern, excited at dis
coveries of the crew of the Bratvaag on
the island and. hurrying there them
selves, managed to land there Satur-
day to seek out relics of the Inflated
expedition which DR.. Gunnar Horn and
his associates left behind.
The skeleton found was presumed to
be that of Knut Frankel, third member
Of the Andree group, who, it generally
had been believed, died en- route to
White Island from the spot where the
balloon, in which they wished to cross
the North Pole, came down. The crew
OF the Bratvaag found only two bodies.
A group of bones they believed to be
the remains Of the third man turned
out to be polar bears bones.
In addition to the third skeleton the
Isbjoern party found a number of other
things left by the Andree expedition of
80 years ago, including scientific instru-
mentS, weapons, pieces of the basket
below the Andree balloon and Frankel's
note books. They said the camp was
in excellent order. They believed the
explorers died from sudden catastro-
phe, such as blizzard
Advices of discovery of the third body
probably will lead to postponement of
the memorial service planned for the
three until it is known for certain that
the body is that of Frankel. The
Swedish warShip SvenSkund will await
at Tromsoe for the Isbjoern, which
must travel slowly because of motor
trouble.
