DETROIT, March Time was
when communist demonstrations in
Detroit occasioned bloody scalps and
black eyes. A young red-headed fell
low named Murphy took charge of
affairs and changed all of that.
Today, Mayor Frank Murphy says he
has solved the demonstration problem
and wonders why others haven't done
the same thing; it appears so simple.
His policy is based on the belief that
"the fathers of the country meant what
they said about free speech. People
naturally are sensitive, impatient, dis
satisfied, and the best policy is to let
them give expression to their feeling !"
Soon after Mayor Murphy went into
office, Communists said something about
a public demonstration. "All right" he
said. take Grand Circus Park. Grand
Circus Park Is double square in the
heart of the downtown section, and
such thing as q demonstration there,
or any sort of public meeting, never
had been heard Of.
Then they wanted to parade" re-
lated the mayor, land told them to

come to the City Hall, and told them
I'd be glad to, see delegation in my
Office while thu rest stood outside"

II CONvICTS BURN
TO DEATH IN CELLS
All Victims in North Carolina
Stockade Fire Were Colored
Prisoners.

By the Associated Press.
KENANSVILLE, N. c., March T.
Trapped in their cells, IL colored con-
yicts burned to death early today as
flames swept through the huge wooden
stockade of Duplin County.
Forty-one of the prisoners, % of them
colored. were led from the burning
building by guards.
owen Basden and B. S. Nicholson,
the guards on duty, discovered the fire
shortly after 2 am. The flames started
in the kitchen. Their origin has not
been determined.
The stoekade, built of heavy timbers,
was located one mile from here. 1t
was virtually without fire protection.
Dan H. Bridgers, Duplin County coro-
ner, began an investigation immedi-
ately. Pending its completion, he re-
quested the two guards not to discuss
the fire.
Residents of the community who first
reached the fire said, however, that
Basden rushed into the burning build
ing time after time to lead forth the
prisoners.
Some indication that the blaze might
have bsen of incendiary origin was De-
ing investigated.
The stockade was a quadrangle. Cor
rugated iron covered the fatal cell block
which was in the center and apparently
the victims we're literally roasted TO
death as the flames from adjoining
structures turned the iron white hot.
