NEW YORK, June 3-Without any

made further substantial gains over
the prices scored late in Thursdays

which had dropped far below their in

these were Great Northern Is, which rose

I'VE should do our utmost to
stabilize world conditions. There
has been too much talking on the
subject. It's a matter of give
and take-mostly give on our
part"
Then, after describing the hot
political situation in Louisiana,
where DR.. Paul NJ Cyr claims the
undisputed governorship, as "en-
tirely settled" Long took up the
question of jews-harps and pot
likker, two hobbies" Of which he
is very proud.
II didn't bring a harp with me, ;"
he said, "in fact, I've given all
fifteen of them away. found out
recently that Sears Roebuck
makes a better one than any I
had, so I'm waiting for one of
theirs.
Long appears to be very disap-
pointed over the pos likker situa-
ton in Washington, but said he
had some good recipes from which
he thought SOM one here would
be able to make "the old time
dish"
Mrs. Long, just 30, the same age
as the Governor, made the trip
to Washington along with several
state officials. She is attractive,

to be an electric CRATE.
Then he settled back on the
couch, pulled away at his cigar
and wiggled his toes.
What have you to say about
the next presidential. racer" the
Governor was asked.
Il have no preference in par
tlcular, but 1 might say that there
are one or two who could win in
a walk if nominated.
Pat Harrison Democratic Sem
ator from Mississippi, and an old
friend OF Longs, could win cas-
lily. Speaker Jack Garner and
Joe Robinson Democratic floor
leadeO would be good candidates.
IF Alfred E. Smith were nomi-
Il mated again he would win"
the youthful Long said.
But he added that Governor
Roosevelt of New York, in his
opinion. wouldn't have a chance.
He praised Senator Borah, in
Surgent-Republican of Idaho, as
''our greatest senator next to Will
liam Jennings Bryan"
Il am delighted to hear that my
Office is next to his"
Asked to discuss the interna-
tional financial situation, partic-
ularly debts, Long said:

it back.
A ways and means" committee
was appointed to perfect the process.
It consisted of Phil zoercher, state
tax commissioner; William Co.'S
grove, assistant state auditor, and
Arthur Sapp, state highway COM
missioner.
zoercher wrote Sapp and wanted
him not to ask Attorney General
James M. Ogden for an opinion re-
garding the legality of the deal.
However, the highway commission
erS ordered Director John j. Brown
to do so.
Ogden's answer, in three pages of
legal phrases. was nothing doing"
So the finance committee, con-
sisting of the Governor, Floyd E.
Williamson, state auditor, and Will
liam Storen, state treasurer, will
borrow" the 100000 from high
way funds, and give noninterest

pect to pay.
Anyway, the tax rate will not be
increased, hackers of the plan point
out.

What about prohibitions" he
was asked.
Il haven't a thing to say on

Thugs Warn Wealthy Man
They'll Collect Ransom
or Kill Him.
BIZ United Press

By Untted Press
DENVER, Jan. 25.-Benjamin P.
Bower lived today under threat of
death.
The wealthy 62-year-old bakery
official, abducted from his home last
Tuesday night and held blindfolded
five days for $4,000 ransom, was
freed unframed early Sunday, but
the kidnapers said they would see
him in a few days to collect the
ransom"
They told Bower they would kill
him unless he paid.
Police guarded him closely.
The Rocky Mountain News, in a
copyrighted story, said a note, pur-
portedly from Bower while in the
kidnapers' power, saying he would
be killed at p. m. Saturday unless
his wife paid the ransom, was a
hoax designed to save the life of
Bower"
The story said the note was writ
ten in the News Office by Manager
of Safety Carl S. Milliken and Police
Chief Albert T. Clark while Bowers
life hung in the balance.
The note simulated genuine
note from the kidnapers and was
designed to make the kidnapers be-
lieve that Mrs. Bower and the
authorities had not received the
genuine note, but rather a note
from a gang of extortionists trying
to muscle in on the case to collect
the ransom.
The News copyright portrayed
Italians, who frequently have
figured behind the abduction.
Bower was guarded so closely that
his story Of his 100 hours of terror
in the kidnapers' hands was I'M
revealed further than sketchy de-
tails.

LONDON, Jan. 25.-Prison riot
ing which the press declared "out-
rivalled the imagination of Holly
wood film producer" an outbreak
unprecedented in British prison his
tory, failed to free a single convict.
One hundred long term inmates
of Dartmoor prison in the loneliest
section of the Devon moors at
tackled their warders Sunday, start
ed fire in the warden's Office and
main cell block, and were prevented
from gaining control Of the prison
only by truckloads of police from
Plymouth.
Damage was estimated at $4,000.
Raid Liquor Canteen
Tooays morning newspapers gave
more space to the convict riot than
to any story Of recent years, not
excluding political and financial
events of international Importance
and the unrest" in the British navy
at Invergordon.
Some of the convicts were report
ed madden with liquor, which they
seiVed in raid on the prison
canteen.
Fifty Boobies" from Plymouth
arrived at the prison gates just as
the convicts, grouped together and
armed with sticks, stones and i'm
provised weapons, were inviting the
warders to come and get it."
The policemen shed their great
coats, drew their truncheons and
with shouts of come on, lads
charged the mob. A few minutes
later seventy convicts were I'M
conscious in the prison yard. The
police used only their truncheons,
as the regular "Bobbie" in England
does not carry gun.
Twenty in Hospital
An official statement from the
home Office said that 100 of a total
of 400 prisoners at Dartmoor par
ticipated in the movement. The
prison warderS guards equipped
with guns fired to prevent escapes.
No prisoners escaed and none was
hurt seriously, the statement said,
About twenty were taken to hos
ital.
No prisoner has escaped from
Dartmoor since 1885,
There were stories of gallantry
during the riot. One life termer,
named ODonovan, saved the life Of
a deputy prison commissioner by
beating off convicts who threatened
to kick him to death.
Another convict used a shovel to
beat off prisoners attempting to at
tack warder in a boiler room.

as he put it down.
Smoking is not permitted in
