GUARDSMEN keep
PEACE IN OHIO
STATE PRISON
Convicts Give No Sign Of
Trouble Following Mar
tial Law
By HARRY w. SHARPE
United Press Staff Correspondent

COLUMBUS, o., April 30. U.H-
a thousand national guardsmen,
prepared for any emergency, main
tanned in Ohio State penitentiary
today the first real peace it has
known since the disastrous fire.
Encamped in front of the prison
while strong detachments patrolled
the thickly crowded cell blocks in
side, the troopers appeared to have
quieted, for the time being, the
1900 mutinous convicts whose pent-
up resentment burst forth Yesterday
in a violent uprising.
Although the serious outburst in
the "White City" sector resulted in
the wounding of two of their num-
Der, the rebellious prisoners seen to
nave won a partial victory in their
demand for a change in the prison
regime. Warden Preston f. Thomas
still was the nominal head of the
penitentiary, but all the orders to-
day came from Colonel Robert
Haubrich of Fort Hayes, command
ing the militia.
The more unpopular guards were
missing, ana the conVlctS appeared
pleased with their substitutes, the
militia.
Complete silence rcigned in the
interior of the penitentiary last
night, welcome contrast to the
ominous restlessness which had pre-
vailed since the Easter Monday
fire. More than 200 troopers were
assigned to guard the cell blocks
where the convicts launched yester-
days attack.
from death row yesterday by the
rebeilious prisoners, were lodged in
the city Jail under heavy guard. All
were placed in irons and double
guard of prison guards and police
was posted over them.

CHICAGO, April 80. U.p>-
Buns along West Madison
street reminisced today about
an old buddy whom they knew
as wild Bill'' Shattoff in his
freight hopping, soap box har-
anguing days IL and more years
ago.
For news had come from the
far Eastern republic in Siberia
of the completion of the Siber-
ian-Turkestan railroad and the
awarding Of further honors to
VLADIMIR Segerevich Shatoff,
minister of transportation and
moving force in the completion
of the railroad, which is design
ed to make the Turkestan
wastes a rich cotton field Of gi-
gantic proportions.
The builder Of this 100 mile
railroad, opening of which was
celebrated with elaborate cere-
monies at which nine American
newspaper correspondents were
guests, is the same wild Bill"
Shatoff who once urged the
West Madison street buns to
adopt the communistic princi-
pie.
HE was just jump ahead
of the sheriff the last time I
heard about him here" recalled
a weazened old man who summed
himself in the street of the

SERIOUS BLAZE
CAUSES DAMAGE
IN BORDER CITY

A large section of Calexico's bus
mess section was threatened with
destruction early this morning when
fire nearly destroyed the old Var
ney Brothers building on Second
street. This building, owned by
the Globe Mills company of Los

According to available informa-
ton the fire, of undetermined ori-
gin, started in the show window Of
the department store at l O'Clock
this morning. 1t was almost i'm.
mediately extinguished and no fur
ther trouble was expected until a
few minutes later a blaze broke out
through the roof and front of the
building and it was then discovered
that the fire had worked its way
up through the partitions to the at
tic and roof.
Fearing that the conflagration
might get completely out of con
troll. call was sent to the local
department and that of Mexicali
both of which responded immediate
ly and assisted in fighting the fire,
Chief Tom Reams and four men left
here at lis o'clock and returned at
3, having laid 600 feet of hose to
help bring the fire under control
Damages to the buildings are es-
timated: Ellis department store,
$4,000, totally covered by insur-
ance; to Sam Donaldson's store,
$4,000, with no insurance, and to
the hardware store, $4,000, partially

United Press Staff Correspondent


WASHINGTON, April 30. U.D-
Chairman Legge of the federal farm
board today invaded the enemyl
camp and charged members Of the
United States chamber of commerceI
with opposing the administration
cooperative farm relief program.
The farm board head, himself al
former giant of the business world,
spoke before 5000 industrial lead
ers gathered in annual meeting here.
He said they were unsympatheticI
with the farmers plight.
In the past, Legge said, the cham
Der has favored the copoerative|
marketing of farm products. Butt
he added that the attitude Of theI
chamber in recent months has offer
ed considerable evidence that en-
tirely too many Of your members
were for the principle Of coopera-
tion only so long as it didn't work. =
81 am sure most of you will agreed
that you know more about the agri1
cultural marketing situation and
how to meet it than l do" he said
"a considerable percentage O.
your membership has made thai
quite clear, and perhaps the best
answer | can make is the statement
that if this be true, and you really
do know so much about it, that sit
uation presents a very severe i'm
dictment of the organization whichl
having full information Of the fsetaU
has made so little effort to remedy
the situation.
Certainly none Of you has seen
any constructive action on the part
of the chamber of commerce, will

two years ago, looking to a remedy
for and permanent improvement il
the situation which your own in
, vestigators have warned required
substantial assistance, if not from
you, then from the government"
Climax OF Battle
Legge' speech climaxed the battlt
between private grain interests, lee
by Julius Barnes, intimate Of Pres
ident Hoover and chairman Of the
| board of the chamber, and the farm
board Early in the controversy
the President indicated his whole
| hearted support of the farm board
"When it became apparent that a
! means had been provided that really
would help the farmer get organized
comparatively so that he, like other
producers, would have some voice in
determining the sale price Of his
commodity, the effort was branded
as government price fixing, putting
the government in business" LeggeI
said.
81 do not recall in years gone by
of hearing you business men making
any such complaint against govern
ment aid that was extended to the
manufacturing industry, to trans
portation and to finance. And these
all played their part in adding to,
the disadvantage of the farmer as
did also the preferential treatment
Of labor through immigration re-
striction and other measures"
In a speech prepared without
knowledge of what Legge was to|
ay, Daniel A. Millett, Denver
banker and stockman criticized the
acreage reduction policy of the farm
board.

FINDS SAFEGUARD
AGAINST LIGHTNING
Discovery of Material Known
as Thyrite Announced to
Electrical Engineers.
By HOWARD W. BLAKEsLEE.

NEW YORK, January 81 (R.-Dis-
covery Of a new material named thy
rite, which offers better protection
from lightning, was announced to the
American Institute of Electrical En-
gineers today by Karl B. McEachron
Of the General Electric Company.
Thyrite is a compound, in appear
ance a cross between black slate and
porcelain. It's name of Greek deriva-
ton. means gate, and for electrical
current it is almost literally gate in
more senses than one.
ClaSsed As Good InsuIatOr.
For the ordinary currents used in
the industrial and household worlds,
thyrite is a good insulator, reStrainer
that keeps the current from jumping
out of bounds, closed gate. But when
electricity becomes to ardent, thyrite
gives it the gate" If a tremendous
overcharge comes along the wire, such
as a stroke of lightning, thyrite
changes from insulator into a good
conductor, offering a ready and harm
less pathway for escape of the over
charge.
"Thyrite," said Mr.. McEachron,
''has the property of decreasing its re-
SlStance as electrical voltage increases.
1t possesses the remarkable property
of being substantially an insulator at
one potential and good conductor at
certain higher potentials.
New Study Becomes Possible.
''For the first time in the history of
lightning protection it becomes possible
to calculate accurately the performance
of lightning arrestorS. The idea of
using lightning ancestors along q line
is not new, but suitable arrestors have
not been available from the standpoint
of size or cost.
''Thyrite can be produced in any shape
which can be nodded. The great adj
vantage of the new arrestorS lie In their
performances, small size, low installa-
ton cost, small weight and the pre-
disability of the results to be ex-
pected."
