Heroes of Fire Listed

Columbus, O., April 9. (UP)- Outstanding heroes of the Columbus peniteptiary fire tragedy, in the opin- ion of Warden Preston F. Thomas, were Captain Thomas Little and Guard Will Baldwin, who fought the heat and flames until they were over come, to release the prisoners in their charge.
 Baldwin and Little, the warden explained, had just gone on duty when the flames were discovered.
 q told them to unlock the c. and H. blocks" the warden said. They came into my office and got the keys, and then they unlocked cells until they dropped of exhaustion. On the two top tiers they had to smash the locks. The guards who were the real heroes were Will Bald win and Thomas Little"
 Captain Little told his story of the delivery simply:
 We had just come on duty" he said. when we heard Convict Shoel- ky of Cleveland crying, 'Fire!. We passed the word down the line of convicts, but we were helpless at first because another guard had all the keys to the cell block.
 Ordered to Hold Men
 "Finally we succeeded in getting the keys and were unlocking the lower cells when the smoke began to pillow around us. The other guard said the orders were that no convicts were to be released until police and soldiers had completely surrounded the pen.
 We started to carry out the pris- oners, however, who had been over come by heat and smoke. As fast as we released the convicts. they set to and helped us to get the other in- mates free.
 That is the last I remember un- til came to in the hospital"
 Baldwin was removed to the hos pital as he collapsed, almost at the same moment Little was overcome.
 The captain declined to comment on charges freely made by prisoners that the third guard refused to re- linquish the keys and, according to report, said "Orders are orders-let lem burn."
 The prisoners themselves gave every credit to the two men for con- tributing to the rescue of scores of lives.

CONVICT DESCRIBES
 SCENES OF HORROR
(Continued From First Page)


 
 let 1t run wide open and pretty soon the floor was covered with water. We laid down and rolled around in tho water trying to get cooled of. Prisoners all over the cell block were screaming to beat hell. We would put our faces down in the wa ter and roll around in it and splash it on each other.
 Knock Lock on Cell We had given it up. We expected to die, lying there in the water with flames cracking all around us. Then at last a couple of prisoners came along and knocked the lock off our cell door with a sledge ham, lner.
 We dashed into the hall--a hall Of flame. We helped knock the locks off of three cells and helped the men get out.
 Before we could get out to safety the flames were scorching US, singe- ing the hair of our heads.
 It's my personal opinion that the fire started from a short circuit. They've been having trouble with the lights. They were all the time go- ing on and off for no apparent rea- son.

Elsie Janis work in pictures has been
confined to writing, supervising and
directing at times. She has composed
lyrics for some of the songs that have
largest revueS to come out OF the studios

vision.
Her home in Beverly Hills has been
the center of unique hospitality, the
bathing pool being lined during the
week ends with famous ones. Ma"
Janis enjoyed in the new group much
the same position Of beloved chaperon
as Peg" Talmadge has had during the
reign of her famous daughters.

I Bringing modern methods of speed

spondence with the sister republics.
\ In anticipation of rapid growth IN
this mode of transporting secret and

Because CT the present maximum

the more important rush dispatches
are sent by airplane. Department Of
f1cials ere making a survey of the cost
to the Government of carrying all diplo-
matte correspondence by air between
North and Latin America. Preliminary
estimates place the cost at about
81 900 900 annually. So it has been de-
cided to continue for another year air
mailing only dispatches which cannot
wait for the slower schedules OF the
mail boats.
The time saved by airmail varies
from five to IS days and many OF
the dispatches which now are airmailed
formerly we're sent by cable. While the
air service is much more expensive
than boat service. a considerable sum
thus is saved annually in cable tolls.
The heavy leather diplomatic pouches
themselves weigh some three pounds
each and experiments are being made
with linen and lighter materials which
might save considerable weight without
sacrificing security.

PRIME BONDS HOLD
AT RECENT PRICES.
Small Changes Recorded in
VaIues-Foreign List
Is Firm. d.
BY F. H. RICHARDSON.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, June 2.-Quiet strength
in prime investment issues marked
trading on the bond market today.
Volume was still at its low level Of
last week and with few exceptions,
where some special reasons obtained,
the whole list was inactive. The same
applied to the foreign department,
though German bonds were still bene-
fitted by moderate amount of mark
ing up preparatory to the reparations
loan flotation.
Tentative sales of the new repara-
tons bonds were being made on the
Street today at 81, or a point above
the indicated offering price. 1t is be-
lieved now that the issue will be
brought out at the higher figure.
Money rates were unchanged and the
advance of Government obligations and
high-grade railroad, public utility and
industrial bonds was laid to anticipa-
ton of some United States Treasury
financing to be shortly announced.
There was a moderately heavy turn
over of Liberty fourth 4As and Treas
ury 3a4s at small advances. Atchison
general As, Baltimore e. Ohio first as,
Canadian National SIS, Canadian Pacific
as, Union Pacific first As, Great North
ern rs, Standard Oil of New York 4las,
Philadelphia Co. SIS, Columbia Gas &
Electric SIS and Utilities Power & Light
512s were all well bought.
In the convertible group prices sagged
in dull trading, the amusement compa-
MES showing the only strength. General
Theater Equipment IS, Loews IS and
Warner Brothers Pictures gained. This
paralleled an upturn in amusement
stocks. Pathe rs rose u points. This
issue is now 10 points above its low
point of last week.
Heavy buying of Chicago and Great
Western As caused only fractional
gain in the price. This bond is now
yielding about s per cent to maturity.
The company's funded debt totals ST.
$50 per mile on ID ,409.34 miles of road,
which is considered low figure. st.
Paul Adjustments were again actice
and shade above Thursdays closing
levels.
National Dairy PRODUCTS 514s were
heavily traded at fractional decline.
International Mercantile Marine IS,
Dodge 6s and Goodyear SIS were strong
Anglo-Chilean Nitrate rs, United States
Rubber 5s, American Sugar Refining 6s
and all of the oil company issues of the
semi-speculative class were weak
In the foreign group there were gains
in German Central Bank IS, Berlin 612s
Batavia Petroleum 412s, Bavaria 61as
KarStadt IS, Austrian rs, French rs,
Belgium IS, Copenhagen IS, Argentine
