CALGARY, Alberta, January q
(N.A.N.A).-In the opinion OF his
ranch friends who know him well. the
Prince of Wales will add luster to the
throne of the British Empire. which
he assumed following the death OF his
father, King George v.
His solid business judgment in the
supervision and direction of his large
ranch in the foothills of the Rockies,
they say, has earned the respect OF
experienced ranchers and farmers.
His majesty, King Edward VIII
probably often will think with no lit
tie regret of the picturesque ranch
which he loved so we'll.
Gangling George Lane. with an
iowa draWl. first interested the young
prince in Alberta ranchlands. Lane
owner of the famous Bar u, and a
pioneer cowman of the southern cattle
country, was a veteran known far and
wide when the prince paid the Ca
madam West visit in September
1919.

The prince was interested in horses

nonchalantly on fence while the
rancher advised his royal friend to
buy himself a farm. Lane familiarly
referred to his companion as Prince
and the royal heir, with a fine spirit
of comradeship heightened by an in
innate association with Canadians in
the trenches Of Flanders. listened to
the eX-IoWan's advice.
Shortly after. Albertans were gen.
timely thrilled by the news that the
prince had purchased 2,400 acres ad-
joining the historic Bar U. In charge
of his new ranch he placed w. L.
Carlyle. former professor of animal
husbandry at the Oklahoma Agricul-
tural College, then employed by
George Lane on the Bar U. Under
royal command, Prof. Carlyle soon
started stocking the "E. P" estate
with fine cattle. horses and sheep sent
out from England. These animals
and their offspring have for years
captured hundreds of prizes at the
largest exhibitions and Winter shows
on the continent.

Although he promised his rancher
and city friends to return soon to his
neWly-acquired ranch, the prince was
unable to come back to Alberta until
1924. this time incognito as the Baron
Renfrew." On this visit the prince
doffed his tweed suit. climbed into a
pair of riding breeches and buckskin
coat and enjoyed the life of a prairi.
rancher. He took long rides along foot
hill trails on favorite saddle horse,
Gopher, and proved himself skillful
rider Notwithstanding worldwide hui
morous references to his proficiency in
falling off horses. He took part in
haying operations on the ranch, rode
the hay rake and guided his team like
one to the manner born. He used the
pitchfork and thoroughly lived the
life of farm owner.

tanned and completely recovered from
a long grind of state and social func-

The present King paid his final visit
to Alberta in the Summer of 1927. Be-
fore leaving Alberta and the ranch the
Prince of Wales told friends he hoped
to visit his place every two or three
years at least.

court calendar never recorded and the
public knew little about.
Similarly, when the court has movec

at least for few days to visit his royal

when they went to Sandringham, lived
quietly and as much like ordinary
country people of position as their

else he has visited girls are said to be

winsome manner.
But there is nothing effeminate
about the Prince. He is manly and
frank and, above all, perfect gentle
man. Keen, intelligent-looking. he is
as shrewd and observant as he appears
to be.
Very little that goes on about him
eludes his notice. and he possesses in
marked degree the parental faculty
of remembering what he sees.

he has infinite capacity for making

San Francisco Newspaper,
However, Says Whitaker
Was Among Leaders.

SAN FRANCISCO, February g.
The Examiner said today the recent

Two leaders of the rebellion, which
occurred January 20, are on hunger
strikes in solitary confinement. the
paper said it learned from undis-
closed sources.
Means Among Leaders.
Among the leaders, the newspaper
said, were Norman T. Whitaker, con-
victed with CASTOR Means in a Lind
bergh ransom hoax; Ludwig Dutch"
Schmidt, Roger Toughy gang gunman
involved in the John Factor kidnap-
ing; Hartman Valley, kidnaper of g.

The riot started after the death of
Jack Allen, prisoner who was re-
portedly refused hospital treatment
because of his frequent appearance
in the sick list when there was no
sign of any ailment. The Examiner
said he died after an operation for a
stomach ulcer. The prison announce
ment attributed his death to pneu-

Capone Remains at Post.
When workers in the laundry. where
the worst criminals are assigned, quit
work, the newspaper said Capone re-
manned at his post despite jeers of

Others who refused to join the

said, were Kelly and two of his asso-
ciates in the kidnapping Of Charles F.

So many men were sent to the dun

screaming and bowling prisoners set
up when locked in their cells, that, the

eight more cells built in the dungeon.
The newspaper said Whitaker and

they are daily given forced feeding.
They, with Chase. Schmidt and Valley,
went on hunger strike in the dun

KNOX VICTORY SEEN.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, February g.
A definite possibility that Col. Frank
Knox might receive the backing OF
Ohio's Republican regulars against
Senator William E. Borah appeared
today.
Col. Knox's leading supporter in
Ohio, Clarence ]. Brown of Blan-
chester declared the Chicago publisher
was friendly" to the organization and
added:
IF Knox filed in Ohio, it would
be as a candidate himself and not
as a challenge to any one or anything
except the New Deal"
Senator Borah's announcement of
intention to seek Ohio delegates pledged
to his presidential candidacy was a
challenge to the Ohio organizations
determination to select delegates pledg-
ed only to an unnamed "favorite son. -
His hackers insisted this plan defeated
the purpose of the primary election to
give voters a chance to decide Oh
candidates.
Col. Knox's friends said privately
that at least two-thirds of the State
Central Committee would indorse him
and help put full slate of delegate
candidates into the race against
Borah's slate in the May primary.
Observers believed meanwhile that
the State Central Committee would
abandon its "favorite son" plans at a
meeting next week They said that If
Col. Knox filed, fight for a "favorite
son" would cut Republican strength
into three pieces.
Borah's announcement was regarded
as severe blow to the plans, but
whether a wide-open field for all can
didates or Endorsement of some poten-
tial or avowed candidate would follow
abandonment was unknown.

MINERS VOTE D. c. .
1888 CONVENTION
New Bituminous Negotia-
tons Program Adopted
With 3O-H0ur Week.

The United Mine Workers of Amer
lea today had wound up their epochal
session here.
Adjournment was taken yesterday
after the miners had voted to return
to the Capital for their thirty fifth
convention in January, 1888.
Just before adjournment the miners
adopted program to be followed In
negotiating new contract in the
bituminous fields to replace the con-
tract that expires March 81, 1887,
going on record for a. 30-hour week.
This is the same principle to be urged
in negotiating an anthracite contract
next month. The current bituminous
contract is on 35-hour basis, while
the anthracite agreement calls for
40 hours.
There were two outstanding de-
velopments at the convention just
ended.
The Mine Workers Endorsed Presi-
dent Roosevelt for reelection and
voted to contribute to his campaign
fund. 1t was the first time they ever
had taken such a step in a national
election.
They also voted to withdraw from
the American Federation of Labor If
that becomes necessary in their cam
paign to organize industrial unions in
the production industries - a
step that is opposed by the leaders of
the federation.

Roosevelt'S own ideas That is, none
of the various schools of presidential
advisers happen to have the presi-
dental ear at the moment. The lat

own initiative.
Agriculture Committee Freest.
Freest and easiest of all congress
sional committees is the Senate Agri-

came from there, or rather paused
there for constitutional refacing on
its way from the office of A. A. A.-er
