SACRAMENTO, Calf, Aug. II

prison outbreak at Folsom Peni-
tentiary was frustrated with dis
covery of three revolvers and 66
rounds of ammunition, it was
disclosed yesterday by Daniel j.
O'Brien, State director of pen
ology.
The firearms were hidden in
keg of nails that was acci-
dentally overturned by a convict
in front Of a guard.
The keg had been shipped to
the prison with other building
material by a San Francisco hard
ware firm, according to O'Brien.
Several convicts were queS-
toned concerning the discovery
with the result that Warden
Court Smith and Harry Hickok,
investigator for the State bureau
Of criminal identification, were
sent on a hurried trip to Los
Angeles.

job DETECTORS
'RED-BLOODED'

Describing The Washington
Times Job Detector Force as a
"red-blooded organization for red
blooded boys" George A. G..
Woods, president Of the Washing
ton Gas Light Company and act
ing president of the Washington
Chamber of Commerce, today
lauded the boys for the splendid
services they have given in find
ing jobs for the unemployed of
Washington.
The job detectors will officially
close their original program of CO.
operation with the District Com
mittee on Employment In the
midsummer job campaign tomor-
row, but George j. Adams, jr.,
executive secretary CT the COM
mittee, is considering means for
extension of the services.
In commencing the services
Of the job detectors Mr.. Wood
added:
"The Washington Times Job
DetectOr Force is. strong evi.
dence that The Times is deeply
concerned with the plight of
the unemployed working peO-
pie of this city. That the boys
who compose the force are per.
forming a cOmmendable public
service goes without saying.
That they derive much worth
while experience from their
jOb.finding activity is patent to
the most casual observer.
"The fact that they earn q
generous reward in the form
of many happy outings does
not detract in the least from
the disinteredness Of their
work."

REJECTED BY
JUGOSLAvS
Nation Hit by Moratorium
Seeks Help; U. S. Can Do
Nothing About 1t, Says Castle

Jugoslavia, in a futile gesture
to the State Department in pro-
test against losses she would in
cur through suspension Of Ger
man reparations under the
Hoover moratorium, has formally
notified Acting Secretary Of State
Castle of her rejection of the
plan.
Castle declared JugOslavia
would have to determine with
Germany arrangements to care
for reparatiOns due her. This
Government could do nothing for
her, he added.
Would Lose $16,OOO,OOO
The Jugoslavia government Is
understood to have informed the
experts committee at London.
which recently reached an agree
ment to reconcile the Young
plan to the Hoover moratorium,
that she would lose more in pro-
portion than any other nation.
Germany pays her $19,000,000 an
nually in reparationS, out of
which she pays $4,000, 900 on war
debts to other countries.
Jugoslavia sought to borrow the
amount of the deficit she would
entail by accepting the plan. She
was given $4,000, 900 and promised
an additional 100000. With a
threatened net deficit of $11,000,-
900 confronting her, she ought to
raise the money through the
central banks of Europe.
Matter For Bankers
At the State Department, Off
cials declared the situation a
matter Of Jugoslavia convincing
financiers she had good security.
From the bankers viewpoint,
the Jugoslavian government was
informed that with the $5,00O,-
900 loan already assured, she
would have sufficient money with
which to pay interest on private
loans, and that the $1,000, 900
could be saved by internal econo-
mics. Jugoslavia's answer to this
was that she had already re-
trenched as far as possible.

has lacked.
There was an immediate response
to his kindness and graciousness,
to that light in his hair, his eyes,
his beard, his spats, that never was
on sea or land"
There were signs that he may
bring with him a cavalier spirit so
infectious 1t may soften his more
grim colleagues. Not even the SEN
ate could resist his bowling and gen.
Injecting, his dancing masters poses
and pirouettings, his brown plume
and white beard, his october brown
ensemble.
Watson Dashes Over
Gray tom" Walsh melted into
a smile. Sunny Jim" Watson,
whose bonhomie and backslapping
now become eligible for a political
museum, showed he harbored no Ill
feelings, by dashing across The
chamber.
Wesley o. Jones, whom Lewis de-
feated for the house back in the
COS out on the coast, felt both his
gnarled hands grabbed by the slim,
expensive, aforementioned fingers
of the newcomer. Dick Riddell,
chief page, found himself lost in a
fatherly embrace. Then 81. Ham"
looked around for more to hug.
Up stepped tom" Hef1in, gone
but not departed, wearing his
cream-colored vest, black cutaway,
pince-nez hanging on black rib
. bon. AS if ~. Ham" senSed a
rival, he approached Hehin, stood
off to contemplate the southerner's
appearance and, then, pulled the
pince-nez from Heflin's pocket, so
that, in accord with the precedent
set by the prince of Wales, it would
dangle loosely on the outside. 81.
Ham" gazed about the crowded gal
leries after that gesture of sartorial
defiance.
Right as Usual
Without a welcome from Henry
AshurSt of Arizona, hitherto the
senate's most courtly and polished
member, the new senator's re-
ception would have been incomplete.
But Ashurst, as always, did the right
thing. The two bent, bowed and
clasped hands-both hands. But
81. Ham" struck a pose reserved
only for his peers, and none could
deny that poor Henry came of
second best.
Next came colleague Otis r.
Glenn of Illinois, who was to escort
Lewis down the middle aisle. The
careless Glenn, apparently not
recognizing the Importance Of his
occasion, arrived with the lapels OF
his business suit disarrayed. 81.
Ham" Strengthened them out,
brushed them down, ruffled his
wavy, auburnish beard and the pro-
cession down the middle aisle to the
vice-president'S rostrum started.
Bow for Curtis
To the Honorable Charles @. Cur
tbs there was bow. For the clerk
who gave the oath as u. Ham" up
lifted his whole body there was a
bow, and. afterward, a gracious nod.
The oath administered, everybody
within reach was swept within the
new senator's radiance-and his
arms-and, his eyes sweeping the
galleries, he marched back to the
rear of the senate.
Only for a moment did 81. Ham"
stand there. No great actor, he
realized, remains on the stage too
long, and So with another bow, he
strobe through doors which seemed
opened by invisible hands, into the
cloakroom.
