Disaster can come to your Auto, Tractor or

Liquor Vessel
Bill Introduced
in Commons
Measure Would Enable British to
Cancel Captains' Certi
ficates London The House of Commons,
by a vote of 215 to 142, on April 15,
gave a Liberal member leave to in
troduce a bill to entitle the Board of
Trade to suspend or cancel the cer
tificate of any master, mate or en
gineer engaging in the illicit impor
tation of intoxicating liquor into
United States territory.
Isaac Foot, Liberal member from
Cornwall, moved at the end of the
question period on April 15 for per
mission to introduce such a measure.
Under the rules only one speech was
allowed for and against the bill.
After Mr. Foot had spoken for 10
minutes advocating the measure,
Frederick .A. Macquisten, Conserva
tive member from Argyll and a law
yer who sometimes acts professional
ly for the liquor trade, opposed the
bill. ... i."
Edwin Scrymgeour,.; Independent
member who is secretary of the Pro
hibition Party, interrupted Mr. Mac
quisten and protested . against his
speaking on the bill. Lady Astor,
American-born peeress and ardent
temperance advocate, also interrupt
ed Mr. Macquisten several times.
Mr. Masquisten made several re
torts to Lady Astor's interruptions,
and at one point reminded her she
had nearly lost the Sutton Division
of Plymouth in the last election
her plurality was 221 and he pre
dicted that the next time she would
lose the seat altogether.
The House divided on the question
whether leave to introduce the meas
ure should be given, resulting in a fa
vorable majority of 73.
As the bill is a private member's
one, it was said in the parliamentary
lobby that, like most others of this
category, it had little chance of pass
ing into law.
Mr. Foot, in Introducing the bill,
said that it was supported by mem
bers of all parties, and he did not
ask the House to express any opin
ion on what the American people
had decided for themselves. A bill
along similar lines, he said, already
has passed the Canadian Parliament.
It was Intended, he said, "to defeat
the purpose of lawless men who
would lower the reputation of this
country, to prevent misuse of the
British flag and to bring together
the two peoples."

reports received in Managua. In ad
dition to killing the two American
officers, the machine gun fire also
seriously wounded Sergeant Gon
zales, who was expected to die.

MRS. WILLIAM DEBUS
"I am glad to recommend Konjola
most highly," said Mrs. William
Debus.. 4207 ' Twenty-first street,
Kenosha, "Wis. "For a long time I
suffered from the effects of a dis
ordered stomach and my liver was
also a source of worry. Gas formed
on my stomach, I was made miser
able by bloating, and sharp indiges

I had frequent dizzy spells; lost
strength, and became very nervous.
"I didn't think there was any
medicine that could help me. But
I was wrong. Konjola proved dif
ferent from all the rest. I was sur
prised at the way Konjola went to
the source of my ills, and swept all
of them from, my system. I don't
tire nearly so easily and dizzy spells
and headaches are gone. I now have
a fine appetite and everything I eat
digests as it shouhL Konjola surely

300 Convict
Die in Fire at
Ohio Prison
One of the Greatest Losses of Life
in a Fire in History of the
United States
Columbus More than 300 prison
ers in Ohio penitentiary were killed
by smoke and fire in ono of the
moft appalling disasters i.i Amer
ican history Monday night.
Trapped in their locked cells, the
victims had no chance of escape. The
fire, as well as other blazes in the
prison yard, was believed to have
been of incendiary origin.
After a struggle of several hours
with loose convicts who refused to go
to . their cells, soldiers and guards
get the situation in hand and all
was quiet in the prison enclosure at
midnight. Then the work of re
moving the dead to the state fair
coliseum was begun, and investiga
tions into the disastrous blaze were
started.
Driven Back to Cells.
For hours, as firemen battled fire
and fought back recalcitrant con
victs who cut their hose, several
thousand convicts had milled about
the prison enclosure. But shortly
before the midnight hour, soldiers
and guards gained the upper hand,
and drove the prisoners into their
cells and other prison buildings.
Under the glare of floodlights,
turned into the prison yard, the
scene waa one of appalling tragedy.
Here, on the damp grass, covered by
blankets, lay the bodies of several
hundred men who, trapped in their
locked cells, went to death like rats
in a trap. Smoke suffocated a ma
jority of the victims. Some were
killed by fire.
Warden Preston Thomas was in
consultation with state officials at
midnight, planning his investigation.
Practically all sources agreed that
the. first fire, as well as other blazes
in the prison yards, were started by
prisoners.
After the prison yard was cleared.
National guard trucks were taken
into the prison. These were to be
used to carry the bodies of victims to
the colliseum in the state fair
grounds.
Like An Armed Camp.
The penitentiary yarde resembled
an armed camp after a pitched bat
tle. Lying on the grass were the
bodies of some 200 victims of the
blaze, most of them killed by dense
smoke. In the prison hospital base
ment lay almost 100 other dead. A
few dead were, known to be in the
guard and hospital cell blocks where
the fire burned furiously for several
hours after it started in an adjoin
ing block and spread rapidly under
a still west wind. - .
The loose convicts were being
driven into the dining halls. Troops
were having trouble controlling the
men who, earlier in the excitement,
had pitched in and aided in rescue
work.
Start at Same Time.
The first intimation that the first
fire was of incendiary origin came
from State Fire Marshal Ray Gill.
He said he believed the fire was set
in several places simultaneously in
the I and K cell blocks. The later
fire in the cotton mills was incen
diary, he said.
Chief of Police French of Colum
bus, helping to command the situa
tion in the prison enclosure, ordered
all women nurses from the peniten
tiary at 9.4 5 p. m. He said he issued
the order to insure safety for the
women.
The convicts in the yards, prodded
by soldiers and guards, were tinning
out and it was believed all men would
be in their cells within an hour.
Later in the night some of the
convicts cornered In dining halls
again got loose in the yards, and
at 10:15 p. m.. it was estimated that
about 2,000 of the more than 4.000
men in the prison were still milling
about in the enclosure. . ,
Thing All Incendiary.
Fire department officials believed
all the fires were incendiary. The
first firet-on the I and K cell block
roofs, was near the spot where men
had been working during the day
with an oil prepartion to repair the
roof. This, it was believed, was used
to start the blaze. Other places, fired ,

with oil soaked, cloth, included the
Catholic chapel, cotton mill and wool

The fire was started in a manner
much the same as the Junction City
prison plant blaze, when some twen
ty convicts were burned to death.
Convicts slugged three firemen and
injured another, while the men were
attempting to gtt a line of hose on
the flames. All four injured firemen
needed the attention of a doctor.
Prison officials and " fire depart
mtnt heads said the damage would
be only about $11,000.
Chief Ijams, of the Columbus fire
department, said the blaze spread so
rapidly that guards on duty there
had little or no opportunity to un
lock cell doors. Warden Thoinaa
rushed four guards to'lhe blocks
with cell keys but before they could
get to work on the doors they were
overcome by the dene smoke and
carried out by convicts.
The fire chief sail there was no
electric wiring in the block.
Scene of Disorder.
The scene within the prison yard
continued one of utter disorder jis
darkness descended. At least fio
convicts, all orderly and aiding res
cuers and firemen, were in the yard.
Prisoners, row upon row. lay on
the lawn, covered fully with blan
kets, and numbered among the deed.
Prison guards rushed about attempt
ing to keep the prisoners orderly and
aiding in the rescue work.
The prisoners in the cast cell
blocks, the bad men of the Ohio pen
itentiary, screamed and yelled, fear
ing the fire would reach them. Guards
were trying to quiet these men. They
were prepared to open the cell doors
if th flames continued to sweep to
ward the east. State Journal.
EDUCATION INSTEAD OF TAXES
In November, according to the re
port of the Department of Public
Works, Division : of Motor Vehicles
of the State of California, there were
2G18 motor vehicle accidents.
Of these, 1479, or more than one
half, occurred at street or highway
intersections,' resulting in nearly
one-third of total fatalities and in
considerably more than one-half of
total injuries. This does not include
75 accidents which occurred at runil
intersections, compared with but 6"
at railroad crossings. In other words,
the number of accidents occurring at
railroad crossings .was less than 2.5
per cent of the total.
It appears from a nanalysis of this
report that if all the railroal grade
crossings -were eliminated the re
duction of accidents would be com
paratively small. .
The practicability of wholesole
elimination of grade crossings as an
accident preventative, through the
medium of bond ireues or taxes on
the people, may well be given serious
consideration in the light of 'these
figures. "" '
The- remedy -seems 'not to lie in
graie:elimjenation It may be.advis
ablewtt .so ciUf)Jr tor,, accident. Jjr'
vehfioh as for convenience and ex
pedition of highway' traffic, to elim
inate railroad grades at main arter
ies or densely traveled crossings, in
which event the cost should be borne
by users of the highway who are the
principal beneficiaries.
As for the remedy for accidents,
experience shows that it lies in a
correction of practices on the part of
drivers rather than in bond issues
or increased taxation.'
