REPORT IS DENIED
THAT GUARDS HELD
Unconfirmed Rumors Have It
That Officers Held Captive
and Lives Threatened By
Prisoners.
Kingston, Out. ,Oct. 21.
mouth penitentiary, where more than
900 prisoners ' rioted last Monday, was
in a state . of ... siege today . , after another
serious outbreak yesterday.
Gilbert Smith, acting warden of the
prison, said quiet was entirely restor
ed / I early aovlv inio this morning tviAl'nimv after ff -flxtx tlie dis¬
turbances which turned the peniten
, tial V into a bedlam for nearly 12
hours during the afternoon and even¬
ing and caused the authorities to call
in troops with machine guns to assist
the guards.
Tile warden denied reports that 10
prison guards were being held by the
prisoners as hostages., The report,
published by the Toronto Mail and
Empire, said the prisoners threaten¬
ed to take the lives of the guards if
“unduly repressive measures” were
used against them.
The Mail and Empire said that the
Royal Canadian horse artillery, 150
strong-, was mobilized within the
prison gates, hut the troops were not
taken within the walls of the peni¬
tentiary building because the pris¬
oners threatened to kill the captive
guards if the soldiers were brought
in to put the riot down.
It also quoted Hugh Guthrie, minis
ter oi justice, * . • as .......• saying he 1. . .......1.1 would l»,x be

There was
during the afternoon and evening yes¬
terday. It appeared to be into the air
for the most part, however, although
one inmate was wounded in the shoul¬
der by a bullet.
The gunfire ceased after 9 p. m.,
and with it the prisoners ended the
howling and yelling which they had
kept up and which townspeople, gath¬
ered in huge crowds along the lines
established hy the troops, said sound¬
ed like “a football game.”
Throughout the night, the steel-hel
meted soldiers paced back and forth
on the walls. Floodlights and a pow¬
erful searchlight were used to spot
an y movement which might be made
toy the prisoners to charge the walls
and gain the outside.
The riots this week have coincided
with the one-hundredth anniversary
of the old grey prison, which was built
in 1832 to accommodate 700 prison¬
ers. It is understood 906 are now
housed there.
PART OF BUTCHERED
LAMB GIVES LIGHT
TESTS ARE STARTED
Madison, Wis., Oct. 21. DP)—-A
shoulder of butchered lamb, which
apparently contains some kind of
phosphorescent bacteria around the
bones and shines in the dark like an
illuminated skeleton, has been turn¬
ed over to the state dairy and food
division for inspection,
The man who bought the meat took
it to his home, rubbed a bit of salt
into it for preservation and put it
in a dark room off the kitchen.
When his wife went into the room
to get it, the mutto.n glowed with a
yellowish light and the bones were
outlined as in an X-ray picture.
Frightened, she called her husband.
He examined the meat in the sunlight
and found it looked just like an ordin¬
ary shoulder of lamb.
Ari examination now being made in
the University of Wisconsin bac¬
teriological department has revealed
a type of bacteria in the shoulder
meat around the bones believed to con¬
tain phosphorescent properties.
In 25 years as a chemist for the
state department Harry Krueter said
this was the first case of its kind
brought to his attention.
“The meat is perfectly harmless and
could have been eaten,” he said.

Heavy Taxation
On Big Fortunes
Columbus, 0„ Oct. 21. ( IP) A levy
of possibly $-10,000,000,00(1 on large
fortunes was advocated last, night hy
Norman Thomas, socialist candidate
for the presidency, as the practical
means to readjust economic unbal¬
ance.
Thomas Addressing a campaign audience,
recommended the levy to
“take care of the national debt, un
employment relief, and a considerable
pad of the reduction of municipal
and farm debts.”
The candidate estimated a levy
on a graduated scale starting at 5 per¬
cent on fortunes in excess of $25,000
and increasing in wealth in the high¬
er brackets, would raise between 46
and 57 billions of dollars. Raising
j the size of the fortunes Lo he levied
j upon a minimum of $256,000 would
[provide from scientific 36 to liquidation 44 billions, he said.
“The. or re
Iduction of founded debts hy a capital
! levy is both just and practical,"
Thomas said. “II is just because it
i would fall equitably on all member: of
the owning class as piecemeal confis
nation or debt, repudiation would
j not.”
‘ Economic reconstruction, Thomas
, said “requires the transfer of our na
tional resources, our public
our hanking system, our monopolies
and near-monopolies from private to
public ownership and control.”

Springfield. 111., Old. 21. t/P) - (iov
I ernor Franklin D. Roosevelt in a cam
! paign address before a near capacity
crowd at the big Springfield arsenal
(today advanced a three-point pm.
gram for agricultural relief.
"The three great steps which we
must, take,” he said, “are, first, the
federal government owes it to agriiu!
Utre to see that it gets a fair price for
its products. That means that the
price of farm product;* must he raised
above the present rtcillously low lev¬
els to which they have fallen.
A properly adjusted tariff can do
much in this direction, hut the present
tariff policies of the Republican ad¬
ministration have dune precisely the
opposite. Pending the relief that
will he afforded hy properly adjusted
tariff policy, measures must, he taken
to give the farmer immediate tariff
benefit. This means in substance a
pract ieiilde plan agreed to by agricul¬
tural leaders which will provide foi
the funner a higher return for cer¬
tain of his crops. I set forth these
principles which such a plan must em¬
body, in my Topeka speech, and these
principles have been widely eccept
ed as a basic plan of action in form
ulnting the necessary legislat ive• re¬
lief.
Glinrges of Republican “intimida¬
tion,” promises of aid for the coal
mining industry and fanner, new
pledges to seek added revenue hy le¬
galizing beer these were campaign
[weapons of Governor Roosevelt today
jas he pushed on toward file west and
south.
Speeding out of Indiana which he
hailed as "not even in the double
class,” the Democratic presidential
nominee expressed a determination if
elected to undertake “stabilization" of
the coal industry hy “common sense"
methods.
To the crowds swarming about tiro
observation platform of his special,
train at Terre Halite last night, 'm
declared tie felt “very strongly” that
“a new administration in this country
will bring hack the level of farm
prices and can do much to aid the
coal industry.”
“I’m not going to appoint a lot of
commissions when I go to Washing¬
ton,” he said. “But I'm going to un¬
dertake to get the coal industry sta¬
bilized and not just have a lot of
talk.”
Before a huge open air throng es¬
timated hy police at between 56,000
arid 75,000, the Ne.w York governor at
Indianapolis a lew hours earlier re¬
ferred lo the “propaganda of fear”
which “dangles the old ghost of panic
before our eyes.”
In a second address at Indianapolis
before parly workers assembled at
the Glaypool hotel- he asserted that
"telling the nation the country is go¬
ing to the how wows unless the Re¬
j)U blioiui administration is re-elected
is a kind of intimidation.
“The country has not gone to the
dogs when il had a Democratic ad¬
ministration,” he added, “and it is not
going to the (logs when we take office
on the fourth of March.”
