 Agitation for abolishment of the convict colony has been revived simultaneously with reports of re- cent wholesale escapes. More than 100 convicts have escaped within the past six months, leading tc suspicious that a secret organized band is aiding them, for a price in fleeting through the perilous jungles or across the shark-in- fested Caribbean Sea.
 Criminals condemned to hard labor, mostly murderers and pro- fessional thieves, are kept at St Laurent du Maroni. The crimin- ally insane, usually sent to the colony for life, are segregated at St. Jean du Maroni.

 Good behavior may gain con- victs place on model farm at Courroux, or in Cayenne, where they sleep in a prison but may hire out by the day as domestlcS or in stores and offices.
 Any criminal sent to Guiana must stay there in exile after his release for as many years as his term of hard labor calls for Most who escape have served their se- tence and are existing as besl they can off the scant irregular employment afforded by the tiny colony, where a tenth of the 50,00( population are, like them, banish- ed criminals.

Frank Lyon, of Mclean, Va,
Fairfax delegate to the Virginia
election october 3, will vote
against repeal of the Eighteenth
Amendment, he said yes .erday in
q letter to Deets Pickett, of the
Prohibition Emergency Movement
Of Virginia.
Lyon sa>. he is not opposed to
saloons, because they keep liquor
out Of the homes of citizens. He
also is against State regulation.
Liquor either should be prohibited
through national constitutional
action, or permitted to flow freely.
He said:
my own view Is that If
liquor is to be sold legally there
should be no more regulation
Of 1t than there is in the sell.
Ing Of ginger ale or any other
drink that Is lawful under the
statutes Of Virginia."
Lyon said, however, that he
will vote against repeal even
though he knows it is a positive
certainty the liquor ballots will
win the election. When the ma
tional law is repealed, Lyon con.
tinued, he will devote his efforts
to provide a place where the
man Of ordinary means may
drink other than at home, giving
him the same opportunity as the
well-to- do have in their clubs"

|OWANS FACE:
CIVIL TRIALS

LEMARS, Ia, May 3. UP)-More
than 100 Iowa farmers under mill
tary arrest here probably will be
tried on civil charges of contempt
of court, advices received today
from Gov. Clyde l.. Herring at DeS
Moines indicated.
Previously it had been planned to
courtmartial the suspects, accused
of participating in an outbreak last
week when Judge Charles G. Brad
ley was dragged from his court
room and nearly hanged. Plans for
courtmartial were abandoned be-
cause the attack on Judge Bradley
occurred before national guardSmen
established martial law.
A military commission of four
men will assemble evidence for the
trial.
Military officials believed the
back of the rebellion was snapped
when the Ed Durband family an
nounced it would abandon its farm
in the face of military rule.
Resistance of the Durbands to civil
eviction attempts after a mortgage
foreclosure had led to several fights
between sympathetic farmers and
deputies.
Authorities said troops may be
withdrawn by the end of the week.

MEETING OF
CITY COUNCIL

There was no special session
of the city council yesterday
afternoon for the purpose of

Bill No. 452, nor was the bill
tabled by the council for fur
ther consideration according
to accurate information OBJ
tanned on this matter today by
The Press from city official.
Members of the city council
met informally at the city hall
yesterday afternoon, The Press
was advised. With no roll call
or any formal opening of a
meeting, the members fore
gathered and INDUCED in a
discussion of various topics,
some Of interest to themselves
and others pertaining to the
general welfare of the city
without, however, having any
intention of treating said sub
jects in any formal or definite
manner.
Among the subjects talked
over in this informal manner
by the members of the council
was bill No. ASH, and it was

bers thereof might be inclined
to discuss it informally.

sideration of the ordinance

VANDERBILT ASSERTS STATE
NOW OPERATING IN RED

SACRAMENTO. Cal, May 3. U.P)
ROLAND Vandegrift, director of
finance, announced California to-
day was operating in the red"
The finance director urged the
legislature to adopt an emergency
measure today or tomorrow divert
ing $8,779,850 from the gas tax
fund to the general fund, thus
preventing impairment of the
states credit This sum would re-
imburse the general fund for ex-
penditures incurred during the
present biennium for payment of
interest and redemption of state
highways bonds
Vandegrift said the general fund
cash account was 1887 1858 There
are state warrants in the control
lers office today obligating the
state for a sum in excess of that
amount.
Total tax receipts on May 20
when the books for the month are
closed will be 81 ,687 1853, Vandegrift
said. The state will need, however,
81 lbs, 900. Estimated red balance
as of that date was $437,431.
Vandegrift admitted the state
could borrow sufficient money to
operate on from special funds but
pointed out such action would i'm
pair the states credit. He said word
had come to him of instances

TWO LEADING
BILLS PASSED
BY CONGRESS
House Approves Initiation Bill
And Senate Does Same For
Muscle Shoals Measure.
LATTER READY FOR SIGNING
Momentous Steps Taken By Ad-
ministration Given Endorse
ment By SolOns.
By WILLIAM F. KERRY
United Press Staff Correspondent

OIiteu freSS OLdII Correspondent
WASHINGTON, May 8. <U.PJ =
The ROOSEVELT Norris program for
development of the Tennessee val
ley and government operation of
the vast Muscle Shoals power pro-
ject was passed by the senate to-
day after more than two days Of
debate. The vote was SO to 20.
The senate action virtually COM
pleted congressional approval of
the measure. Barring a conference
on a few minor differences the bill
is ready to be submitted to the
President.
For Senator Norris, Repn., Neb.,
passage ended a II year fight for
government operation and cheap
electric power for the south. For
Mr.. Roosevelt it represented the
first step in effecting huge i'm
provement and employment pro-
gram proposed during the presi-
dental campaign.
The senate bill, in common with
that approved last week by the
house. combines the old Norris leg
islation on Muscle Shoals with the
Presidents own program of devel-
oping the Tennessee valley through
flood control, navigation facilities,
power, use OF marginal lands, re-
forestation and aids to agriculture.
Under authority granted by the
bill Mr.. Roosevelt may cooperate
with the states in surveying the
Tennessee drainage basin for de-
velopments "that may be equittably
and economically advanced through
the expenditure of public funds or
through the guidance and control
of public authority
A Tennessee valley authority, in
corporated under federal sponsor
ship, would be charged with oper-
alton of the Muscles Shoals Power
and Nitrate development in Ala
bama and of the proposed Cove
Greek dam on the Clinch river in
Tennessee.
Under the senate bill, it would
work with state and cooperative
agencies to develop cheap fertilizer
and experiment with its use. The
IlOuSc JILL plONlOCo III COiliLiiCl OAol
fertilizer manufacture, but Norris
argues the process used at Muscle
Shoals is too expensive for this
purpose.
Power generated in the two devel-
opments would be sold by the cor
poration to states, municipalities
and other local units and to private
distributors. The latter would be
the last served, however, and must
agree to a reasonable maximum
price to the consumer.
WASHINGTON, May 3.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt's 100000 100000 in
flation program was approved to-
day by the house.

where state warrants were being
discounted.
The situation is further aggra-
waited, the director pointed putt
by the condition Of the bond mar
ket. The state has invested in
moneys from the general fund
$l,326,000 in bonds. These cannot
be sold, under present market con-
ditions, without sustaining a severe
loss.
THE legislature has been aware
for months that the state was APP
preaching this crisis" Vandegrift
said. II have reminded them of
it almost every week. Now it is up
on us and the legislature has done
nothing.
THE governors budget balanc-
ing program, as originally drawn,
would have averted this situation.
But the legislature turned it down.
But it has done nothing, so far,
to avert the crisis.
Immediate passage on an ur-
gency basis of the gas tax diver
sion bill will help the state out
of its present financial predica-
ment for the time being"
The gas tax diversion proposal
is a part of the taxation program
offered by the committee of IA"
Opposition is inevitable. There is
a group of legislators who have
maintained the gas tax fund should
not be "raided.'
