PRESIDENT FAVORS
JUSTICES ORDER
Indorses Department Ruling
Out Unsatisfactory State
and City JaiIs.

The policy Of the Justice Depart
ment in ruling out State and munic-
ipal jails as places of detention for
Federal prisoners where such institu-
tions are found to be unsatisfactory
was Endorsed late yesterday by Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
The President told reporters at his
semi-weekly press conference he had
taken g personal interest in the recent
escape from the Richmond city jail
of Walter Lengenza and Robert Mais,
under sentence of death for murder of
a Federal Reserve mail truck driver,
and as a result the Justice Depart
ment had moved to improve condi-
tions in all jails which would make
such escapes more difficult.
Conferred With Cummings.
After the escape of the two Tri-
State gang members the President
said he communicated at once with
Attorney General Cummings. and that
his reply showed the Richmond Jail
did not meet standards required by
the Justice Department. For that
reason. the Attorney General reported,
no Federal prisoners had been COM
mitted to that institution since Au-
gust. 1893.
Cummings also told him, the Presi-
dent said, that poor conditions exist
in many prisons throughout the coun-
try and that in the future no Federal
prisoners would be committed to insti-
tutions which dio not come up to the
Justice Department standards.
Bates Makes Report.
simultaneously, Sanford Bates, di-
rector of the Federal Prison Bureau.
announced that the Mckinley County
Jail at Gallup. N Mex, had been ruled
out as unsatisfactory.
Other jails the Prison Bureau has
found unfit for housing Federal prison.
ers are in Crown Point, Ind, from
which the late John Dillinger escaped;
Hillsborough Jail in Tampa, Fla. and
the Escambia County Jail in Pensacola,
Fla.

VICTIMS Of BLAST
HELD RECOVERING
Explosion Wrecks Fore Hold
of Oyster Boat at
Dock.

Although they were blown num-
Der of feet yesterday by an explosion
that tore open the fore hold of 65-
foot fishing boat docked at the Elev-
enth Street Wharves, the two men in
jured, today we're on the road to re-
covery. Only one of them was re-
quired to remain in the hospital.
He is Edward N. Tyler, 81, member
Of the crew of the Virgie Garrison,
Rhodes Point, Md, oyster boat that
makes regular trips from Chesapeake
Bay to Washington. He suffered severe
burns about the head.
Leak in Fuel Tank.
According to Capt. Otis Evans, own
er of the boat, three fuel tanks had
been filled at noon yesterday. A leak
sprang from one Of the tanks and
the fumes spread rapidly through the
ships compartments into the galley
where Edward Morris, SO, cook, was
preparing supper When he struck
a match to light the stove, the fumes
were ignited and the blast wrecked
the entire front part of the boat,
hurting Edwards about II feet back
against the bulkhead.
Tyler, who was on deck at the time,
was hurled into the water by the eX-
plosion and debris was scattered over
the dock. He was rescued from the
water and the two men were rushed
to Emergency Hospital. Morris was
released after treatment.
Women Flee Scene.
Two unidentified women were buy
ing fish from Willard Evans, second
mate of the craft and brother of Capt
Evans, when the blast wrecked the
boat. They disappeared in the crowd
before police could ascertain the ex-
tent of their injuries.
A $500 gasoline engine had just
been installed. Several pieces of fire
apparatus and the District fire boat
fought for more than an hour in eX-
tinguishing the flames that spread
rapidly toward the engine and fuel
tanks. Over $500 was saved from the
pilot house and about l,500 pounds
of small fish were unloaded before
the blaze was extinguished.
Capt. Evans estimated the damage
between $1,000 and $4,000 and said
the loss was not covered by insurance.
II will take several davS tO haul the
ship to dry docks and replace the
planks blown away by the blast, Capt.
Evans declared.

DEATH Of bends"
VICTIM ACCIDENTAL
Inquiry Concluded-Fatai-
ity Is First in Experiments
at Navy Yard.

A Naval Board of inquest yesterday
reached the conclusion that the death
of Chief Pharmacists Mate Thomas
C. Stebbins, 80, was accidental. Steb-
bins died a victim of the bends" "a
hours after undergoing tests in an
compression chamber at the navy
yards diving experimental unit.
The finding of five medical experts
whoa held the inquest will be sub
mitted to the navy yard commandant
Tuesday. 1t was said unofflcially that
Stebbins' death was due to "biologi-
cal idiosyncrasy," which caused him
to react to pressure in an abnormal
manner.
Volunteered for Service.
Stebbins volunteered to go into the
tank early Wednesday to test appa-
ratus designed to prevent the bends. )"
A companion in the tank was not
affected when the pressure was re-
leased, although Stebbins was Selzeo
with intense muscular cramps.
DR.. C. w. Shilling and Lieut.. r. A.
Hansen, in charge of the experiment,
entered the chamber with Stebblns
and had the pressure restored in an
effort to correct the pharmacists re-
action.
NAVY Yard officials said that dur
ing this time DR.. Shilling and Lieut..
Hensen remained under pressure for
at least l3 hours, perhaps the longest
time on record, striving to save Steb-
bins life.
The chief pharmacists mate had
been under pressure many times be-
fore. The pressure which proved fatal
corresponded to that exerted by
something over $50 feet of water.
Master divers at the Navy Yard must
undergo pressures equal to a depth OF
800 feet.
First Fatality.
It was said that any temporary in
disposition, such as might result from
too little sleep or indigestion, can
affect a divers reaction to pressure.
Stebbins' death was the first fatality
to result from Navy Yard expert
ments.
Stebbins, who lived at Brentwood,
Md, was to be buried in Brooklyn,
N. Y. He is survived by his widow,
Mrs. Helen K Stebbins, and son,
Thomas J. Stebbins, 9, and 3-month-
old daughter, Mary Eleanor Stebbins.
Stebbins had been in the Navy for
more than 10 years.

Many CoIors in Dust
BL FRED MATSON
Times Staf Writer

Red sandstone from the Dakotas.
rich black loan from Iowa and Illt-
nois, bright green wheat roots from
Kansas-these are a few of the agri-
cultural products imported into In
dianapolis by the dust storm yester-
day.
Of course one can not see the
beauty of these things with the
naked eye, but viewed under high
powered microscope, this bothersome
dust is a rare melange of color.
A Times reporter went to the
home Of William F. Collins, Ass
Washington boulevard and took
several peeps into his microscope.
Mr. Collins, in addition to being
conservation editor for The Times,
is lover Of phenomena.
Last night he placed a bakelite
panel, thoroughly washed and
weighted, outside basement win
dow. This morning the panel was
covered with fine sheet of the
peculiar dust. Again he weighed
the panel, and then began a little
figuring. His computations re-
vealed some interesting statistics.
Assuming an equa; distribution OF
the dust, there is fve-sevenths of
a ton of the dust per square mile
in indianapolis. This is approxi-
mately l,400 pounds, the weight Of
a small automobile.
Continuing his computations. based
on wind velocity reports from the
weather bureau. Mr.. Collins esti-
mates that about fourteen and
half tons Of dust per cubic mile
hung in the air over the city yes
terday.
Housewives. take notice, and get
your sweepers and dust pans in ac-
tionsl
A smear of this unusual dust
placed under the microscope pre-
sented a strange sight. Bright green
wheat rootlets twined around and
held together grains of red sand
stone, black loam particles and
transparent crystals Of silica. Ia

MATTERN BRINGS
FAIR INVITATION
Famous Filler Tells Plans for
$4,000 Race to
Australia.

Jimmy Mattern, a stocky and
pleasant gentleman with an almost
bashful smile, dropped his white
Waco plane softly to earth at mu-
nicipal airport today with the COM
plant that the business of being a
messenger of good will led to
pretty short" flights.
Then. while official welcomers
came in droves, the world-circling
pilot intimated that he expected to
get his everlasting craving for long
flights out of his system by enter
ing the London -to-Australia $4,000
race next fall.
Whoever wins that will be the
ace of aces" he grinned-and the
grin held anticipation. He explained
that he was considering three
planes, one of them a Lockheed. At
bystander's suggestion that his
Waco might do. he laughed and
added:
She does 125 miles an hour top
and that's really top. Nothing
under 200 will have a chance in this
race"
Mattern. who came here to ex-
tend invitations to the Century of
Progress to the people of Indiana
through Governor Paul V. McNutt
and Mayor Reginald Sullivan, was
asked whether he expected TO try
another solo round -the-world flight.
That's been DONE" he answered.
I'm always trying 10 90 something
that hasn't been done before"
A motorcade of eight cars went
to the airport to meet Mattern. The
welcomers included representatives
of the Chamber of Commerce, the
Indianapolis Aero Club. the Aircraft
Owners Association of indianapolis
and the city.
The famous flier was taken to
Governor McNutt's Office from the
airport and from there to Mayor
Sul,jvan's office and. finally, to a
luncheon given in his honor at the
Antlers' hotel.

DEATH VICTOR
OVER SCIENCE
N. Y. Police Battle in Vain
to Save Pneumonia
Stricken Baby.

By United Press
NEW YORK. May 11.-A two
days battle enlisting modern science,
police emergency squad and gas
company experts failed today to
save the life of Roy Barry the
weakest of 6-monthS-old twins sut-
fering from pneumonia.
Roy died this morning, but his
brother, Ross, was believed out OF
danger.
The twins, sons of Peter and Rose
Barry, were stricken Wednesday,
The doctor appealed to the gas
company for oxygen and then sent
a second and third appeal to police.
An emergency squad sped the sup
plies to the Barry home and eventu-
ally an oxygen tent was fitted over
the crib
Exactly a year from the day Mr.
and Mrs. Barry watched twin
daughters, Vera and Eileen, die of
pneumonia, the battle to save Roy
failed.
Ross, larger of the 6-months-old
twins, breathed almost normally,
and the oxygen tent was removed
from his crib.
AS the crisis approached many
neighbors weer seen to drop to their
knees on the sidewalk outside. 9th
ers offered candles at nearby Holy
Name Catholic church. Among the
supplicants were three older Barry
children, Ronald, 8; Marie. 7, and
3year-old Robert, kneeling in grave
mimicry.
For year until recently clerk
and carpenter Barry was jobless.
Then as he rejoiced at new job
