Song Of the Flame" has to do

While the Pennsylvania saw little

Canon City, Colo, Feb. 7.-Re
Within the gray granite walls Of the
Colorado state penitentiary q restless
prison population awoke today to
find itself under control Of a military
dictator-a man who rose from q
sick bed to strike with the mailed fist
at d riotous group Of convicts who in
four months have taken Is lives and
caused inestimable property damage.
The man, austere In manner and
curt in speech, is Col. Patrick j. HAM
rock, bred to army traditions and by
his own admission "a fighting Irish
man." He led troops and won hon
ors in the Sioux Indian campaigns,
in Cuba and In France.
The dictatorship was declared yes
terday by q harried state board Of
correction which Just had worded q
public statement refusing to comply
with a demand by Gov. William H.
Adams that it resign. It's edict Of
military rule in the walled city said
that, while Warden F. e. Crawford
would retain his post, Colonel Ham
