prison today in 4 conflict with the au-
thorities. The number of others in
jured in a bitter clash was not made
known
Troops were concentrated at Worli
Sunday after attempts by hundreds of
prisoners to force their way out of the
prison Enclosure.
Repairs to the barbed- wire fences &C.
cupied their attention all day yester-
day. Today a procession from the con-
gress went to the prison.
While the troops and police were en-
gagged in erecting stronger barrier
about the internment place the natives,
1nstigated by agitators, attempted to
block the work of the troops.
Mob Insults Police.
The mob insuited the police and mill
tary by splitting on them. This iYnme-
diately led to strife, which was increas-
ing steadily.
The encounter occurred when a large
group of prisoners within the Enclosure
made a rush for freedom.

Women from the mill area nearby
were the first to precipitate the en-
counter. They attempted to interfere
with the work of the soldiers. They
were forcibly removed.
The incident so enraged the volun-
teers that they made an immediate
rush for the entanglements. There were
1000 of them within the Enclosure.
Troops Restore Order.
The volunteers were put back in their
quarters, but as this was going on a

This was the signal for general con-
fusion The police made several charges
with their bamboo sticks, inflicting ex-
tensive casualties.
A company of the 18th Hyderabad

order.

Sloan Danenhower, Sir Hubert'S

This first truck has a number of Seri-
Gus disadvantages. It Is too heavy to

TANK TRUCKS AID
IN FIGHTING FIRES
Forest BIazes Are Checked
More Quickly by Use of
Equipment.

The introduction of pump and tank
trucks in fighting forest fires has been
a notable advance in the effectiveness
of timber f1re-f1ghting. according to a
statement made public by w. T. Muir
ply of the United States Forest SerV-
ice. Mr. Murphy stated:
With all the time an effort that
are being put into the study of forest
fire suppression tactics, we can not
get away from the primary Importance
of water as a means of eXtinguiShing
fire. In Southern California, where
water supplies are probably as limited
as in any other forest area in the
United States, special effort has been
made to speed up the development Of
tank trucks and pumps and of sources
of water supply. One of the most
notable advances made on the Angeles
National Forest in provision for sup
pressing fires has been the introduce
ton of combination pump and tank
trucks.
The start was made by lining up
for fire duty as many road sprinkler
tank trucks and orchard heater distil-
late tank trucks as 1t was possible to
get. Provision was made for mounting
portable gasoline operated fire pumps
on some of the tanks. Owing to the
length of time required to get them
0eGN
only on large fires that had been going
for some time. We soon discovered
that in order to have water available
at the start of fire and at the time
when IL would do the most good we
should have to acquire our own tank
trucks and keep them in constant read
mess for use.
Our first tank truck was placed in
commission during the Summer of
1928, and has been in regular service
ever since. This truck is a 21a ton
model carrying an 50-gallon-capacity
water tank equipped with secondary
transmission. An Edwards rotary gear
pump driven from the truck motor by
means of a power takeoff and chain
drive serves as the primary pump unit.
This pump has a capacity of about 100
gallons per minute and delivers pres
sure of about $50 pounds for ordinary
working conditions. The equipment on
the truck consists of 900 feet of lh-
inch rubber-lined cotton jacket hose, q
Ross portable pump, and monitor
nozzle mounted on, the tank itself for
service along the roadside. An added
feature Is that the tank and hose draw
ers can be detached and ordinary stake

ROBBERS CUT WALL
FOR BIG GEM HAUL
Crack Safe of Baltimore Firm and
Take Jewels Valued
at $4,000.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

special DlSpatcn 10 The Star.
BALTIMORE, Md, May 3.-Robbers
who cut their way through brick wall
to gain entrance to the Albert s. Smyth
& Co.. wholesale jewelers. of this city,
last night used an electric drill and ex-
plosives on large steel safe and made
away with jewelry estimated between
$4,000 and $4,000. The job was done,
detectives thought, in the middle of the
night and indications were that the
men apparently worked at leisure for
several hours. A number of tools that
had been used by the robbers were
found scattered on the floor about the
open safe.
AS there is no Waterman in the
building In which the wholesale jewellers
are located, the Offices are equipped
with burglar alarms designed to ring
IN the Baltimore detective headQuar-
tiers.
The robbers, however, circumvented
the burglar alarm system, with which
they apparently were acquainted, by
breaking through door of an adjoin-
ing office and then cutting a hole
through the wall into the Office of the
JeWelry concern. The police reported
that the man had connected an electric
drill with socket in the wall, bored
into the safe and by the use of the ex-
plosives opened the heavy door.
The men apparently were jewelry ex-
perts. for only the real diamonds which
had been in the safe were taken. Some
OF the cheaper jewelry that had been
placed IN the safe last night was dis
carded by the robbers along with their
tools.

T|[SON FORESEES
DEBENTURE'S VETO
House Leader Doubts il
Hoover Will Sign Tariff Bill
if Clause Remains.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press. ~-9~---@
Representative Tilson of Connecticut
the House Republican leader, declared
in the House today that he did not
believe that President Hoover would
approve the tariff bill if it contained
the export debenture plan.
Tilson presented letter from the
President to himself, in which the
Chief Executive said that he had not
changed his opinion on the debsnture
which he expressed in letter to Sen
ator M NJ Vary Republican. Oregon. on
In his letter to Senator McNary, the
President had indicated that he could
not approve tariff bill carrying the
debenture plan.
Would Save Bill.
Tilson said he had asked the Presi-
dent in a letter whether he had
changed his position.
In my Judgment. the President
could not approve a bill with the
Questioned by Democrats, Tilson said,
"If 1 thought the placing of the
debenture in this bill would kill it, even
though / favored the debenture, I
would ask that it be placed in a sep
arate bill rather than kill this BILL"
Representative Hawley, Republican,
Oregon, had said the debenture pro-
posal would cost the Government $780,
100000 annually and result in foreign
nations retaliating with countervailing
duties.
The debenture plan was rejected by
the House last June, $50 to 113, after
the Senate had twice incorporated it In
the farm bill.
A vote was to be taken in the House
today after 2 hours and 20 minutes
of debate.
Letter Is Read.
Tilson read the Presidents letter OF
May l, addressed to himself, as follows
II have your letter Of inquiry as to
whether I see any reason TO change

20 last year upon the so-called deben-
ture plan introduced by the Senate into

Avalanche of Selling Forces
Pivotal Shares to New

NEW YORK, May Stock prices

changed hands.

With the reduction In the Federal

but the market has evidently become
more concerned over business condi-

progress toward recovery Is generally
acknowledged, and fundamental condi-
