GOVERNOR ACTS.
TO CURB STATE
PRISON ESCAPES
Night Patrol at Gates One
of Four Regulations Put
Into Effect.

Steps to curb the epidemic of
'walkaways" of TRUSTEES at the In
diana state prison have been taken
by Governor Paul V. McNutt, after
a conference with Warden Louis E.
Kunkel.
Spurred by the increase in
escapes and revelation that the
prison setup for TRUSTEES was such
! that some were able to get into
Michigan City for dates" the Gov
ernOr and Warden Kunkel adopted
four regulations they hope will cut
down the number of escapes.
Effective at once, the Governor
| said, officers of the institution will
be on duty in the yard in front of
the prison at both the north gate
and main gate of the prison yard.
Night patrols will be maintained
in the yard and the north gate to
the yard will be closed at night.
This gate, in the past, always has
been left open.
The parking of automobiles on
the drive in front of the prison will
be discontinued as soon as posi-
BILE, the Governor said. A parking
lot for employees of the institution
will be constructed west of the ga
rage and parking lot for visitors
will be built east of the prison.
In announcing the changes, the
Governor reiterated that fleeing of
TRUSTEES from the prison can not be
regarded as escapes" because the
prisoners are not under guard.
These men have been selected
as TRUSTEES because they have been
found to be trustworthy and only in
rare instances do they violate the
confidence that has been placed in
them" the Governor said.
They are assigned to the various
farms where they work, eat and
sleep. The farmer, civilian, superin-
tends their work and one of their
own men is clerk, keeping track of
all the men. At certain seasons of
the year, there are as many as fifty
men in the barracks on a farm"

Copyright. 1884 by United Press
PARIS, May 2-There was NJ
hero to flag down the Riviera Ex-
press in time to save Judge Albert
Prince, who was tied to the rail.
near the city Of Dion, and so Judge
Prince because he knew toe
much about the Stavisky affair.
Albert Prince was a substitute
judge in Paris whose path, unfor-
tunately for himself. crossed that Of
Serge Alexandra Stavisky, master
crook of France. When he became
dangerous to the safety of the po-
litico-criminal gang he was "lqui-
dated" and the rapidity of events
with which this was done may be
emphasized by brief chronology
Early in February. after the Sta
visky exposure had aroused the ma
ton, Judge Prince was accused by
Public Prosecutor Georges Pressard
brother-in-law Of former Premier
Camille Chautemps, Of causing the
delay in the Stavisky trial Angered
Prince asked for time to consult his
records.
Cut Short With Phrase
Pressard cut him short with a
single phrase-'Monsieur. you lack
reflexes!" Prince stumbled out of
the office and went home to search
for the document that would clear
his name. He found it-a letter
from one of his court superiOrs, or
dering him to drop the financial in
quiry into the Stavisky fraud of
1926.
He slipped the letter into his
pocket and said calmly to his wife:
If I have no reflexes. at least I
have proof of my innocence" This
proof. it would seem, involved
"higher-ups."
On Feb Is, Judge Prince took
his valuable letter to NJ. Lescouve,
presiding over the inquiry board,
and announced his intention of
having it photographed before turn
ing it over to the inquiry as an eX-
hibit. He made a second appoint
ment for Feb. II. and promised a
complete record" on that day. He
began writing a voluminous report.
L shall triumph" he told Prose-
cutOr PresSard proudly.
On Feb. Is, Prince saw his report
would be too long to complete by
the following day. He arranged for
a pOStpOnement of its presentation
until Feb. 21-and promised to
name the guilty magistrates.
And the Last Day
On Feb. 20. one day before he was
to deliver his fateful documents. he
died under the wheels of the Ri
viera Express.
The murder was accomplished
with such precision of detail that
to this day the police have been
baffled.
Prince had received a fake"
telephone call announcing that his
mother. in Dillon, was critically i'll
and must nave an immaculate OPP
Grafton. He put his reports in a
brief case-to have something on
which to work during the four hour
ride to Dijon-and was seen at the
Dion station at 4 p. m, where "a
tall man" met him. He was found
to have been registered at nearby
hotel and to have sent telegram
to his wife, telling of his safe ar
rival.
Then he and his brief case van
ished. Trackwalkers found his
body-and an empty brief case. The
report was gone.

We have passed the cross-road
OF intellectual confusion, and
come to the place where our
knowledge Is no more like a great
shop without order or inventory.
We know what we possess and Il
Is high time to make Il serve US
In our needs This can only be ac-
complished through organization.
There are two branches of lit
erature: first, the literature OF
knowledge: and secondly. the lit
erature OF power. The function OF
the first is TO teach; the second.
to move. Those of us who have the
literature OF knowledge should
step out among the masses and
convert them TO the necessity OF a
united struggle for racial liberty
and independence. instead Of re-
lying on others. God helps those
who help themselves. Without
cultivation they are little removed
from the beast that perish. What

The less we have the more II
should behove us to make the most
of that little. We cannot hope to
become bright as the sun as
