Two Convids Guilty
Of Staying Guard
Al AItatraz
Say They Expect to Spend

In Isolation
- the Associated Press.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. ga
jury Of business men today con-
victed two young Alcatraz convicts,
James G. Lucas and Rufus Frank
lin, Of numbering a guard during
an escape attempt, but refused to
send them to death in the lethal
gas chamber.
The result was that Franklin, %,
had another life sentence added to
the two already standing against
him and an indeterminate amount
OF time was appended to the 30
year stretch the 26-year-old Lucas
Is doing for Texas bank robbery and
automobile theft.
In the few minutes between pro-
nouncement of the life sentences
and their start back to Alcatraz,
the two convicts had time to tell
reporters they expected to spend the
rest of their lives in isolation on
"The Rock" where the Government
keeps 300 or more of its most dam
gerous prisoners. They said 1sola-
ton would mean continuous i'm
prisonment in unlighted cells on one
meal day.
Guard Killed May %.
Harold Faulkner, defense attor-
ney, who contended the Govern
ment's witnesses from Alcatraz
made "a mess" of the prosecution,
reiterated his argument that Frank
lin and Lucas did not kill the guard,
ROYAL c. Cline, and that the Federal
prosecutors had fallen far short OF
80 proving.
Cline was beaten to death in the
sawroom of the prisons carpenter
shop last May %, shortly before
Lucas, Franklin and another prls-
oner, Thomas Limerick, climbed to
the roof of the building and rushed
a guard tower in an attempt to flee
the island.
The tower guard, Harold P. Sites,
fatally shot Limerick, drilled Frank
lin through both shoulders with rifle
bullets and cowed Lucas while other
guards raced to the spot and ended
the threat.
Work Jacket Produced.
Star witness for the Government,
Texas mail robber convict Milton
Pettijohn, placed Franklin, Lucas
and Limerick at or near the saw
filing room just before the killing,
but the defense produced a bloody
work jacket which the prosecution
had withheld from evidence and
which was identified as Pettijohn's.
The defense admitted the three
convicts had been trying to escape,
but commended the killing of the
guard was not necessary for the sue
cess of their plans and that Cline
could have been slain by any one
Of six prisoners who had been in the
saw-f1ling room about that time.

COUNCIL FOR D. c.
Five Com miSsionerS
Plan Suggested

Establishment Of q commission
form Of government, operating
with a city council Of IS elected
members, was suggested to the
House judiciary Committee by the
Federation Of Civic Associations
today.
The federation proposed that
the Board of Commissioners be in
creased to five members, three OF
whom would be appointed by the
President, as at present, and two
to be elected by citizens council
Of IS members.
FEDERATION PROPOSAL
The proposal of the federation
follows in full:
The Federation Of Civic AS
sociations of the District Of Co
lumbia petitions your honorable
body to favorably recommend q
measure Of self-government to
the residents of the District in
accordance with such joint reSo-
lutions as may in your wisdom
best secure democratic inStitu-
tions at the Capital Of the ma
ton, especially in the face Of
the challenge to our forms, both
within and without our national
boundaries.
I'VE submit without possibility
of refutation that Popular
governments are not based upon
the theory that they will not
always govern wisely and justly,
but on the theory that in the
long run they; will be oftener
right than any other kind Of
government, and that they can
be. relied upon to correct their
own mistakes more implicitly
than any government imposed
from above by groups or indi-
vidualS can be relied upon to
correct mistakes and injustices.
IMPLIED POWERS
THAT the Congress has such
sovereignty respecting the Dis
trict Of Columbia because Of the
implied powers of the creation Of
a National Capital over which
it should have exclusive juris-
diction in all matters whatso-
ever; said sovereignty having
been interpreted as relating to
safety, morals, health and vel
fare" most certainly makes it
possible to grant local control
over such matters.
I'VE submit that the hear
ingS,' which have occupied so
much of the valuable time Of
committees Of the Congress,
have been concerned with diver
gent opinions on just those
phases Of local administration,
together with the general sub
ject Of taxation and legal rela-
lions about which American
citizens have always been most
jealous"

Mrs. Baldwin stated, "the

years Endorsed and worked for

She pointed out that at its last
convention in st. Louis in April
1888, full suffrage for the District,
including the establishment Of a

here, was Endorsed by the League,
I'VE are of the opinion that
citizens of the District" she
said, "are not only entitled to
representation in both houses of

Is likewise a right that should
not be denied citizens Of Ma

Il was a worker for women
suffrage many years ago." she
said, land the arguments which
1 have been listening to here
against District suffrage are
very similar to those made when
we women were fighting for the
vote.
There was talk Of corruption
in politics and also that we
could accomplish more by the
indirect method than by the
vote.
Some one in the room has
suggested that if I patted the
members of Congress on the
back could make better head
way than with the vote. We
prefer democracy. however"

SUPPLY DRAINING
Huge exports Of the invaluable
fertilizer are fast draining the
nations supply, particularly in
Florida and Tennessee, while the
nations soil faces q continuing
loss Of its productive capacity, the
President asserted.
II invite the especial atten.
ton Of the Congress to the very
large percentage Of known phos-
phate rock which is on Govern
ment-owned land - probably
three-quarters Of the whole sup
ply" the President declared,
land to the fact that the East
ern supply, while in private own
ership, is today being exported
in such quantities that when
and If it is wholly depleted,
Eastern farms will have to de-
pend for their phosphate supply
on the Far Western lands.
CONSERVATION URGED
SIT is, therefore, high time for
the nation to adopt q national
policy for the production and
conservation Of phosphateS for
the benefit Of this and coming
generations"
The President reported that the
total known world supply of phos-
phate rock is estimated at 17.2
billion tons, of which ~ billion
tons is located in the. United
States. Great Britain, France and
Russia control nearly all of the re.
mainder.
Ninety per cent Of the American
supply is located in Idaho, Mon
