PRISONER SLAIN DORINE RIOT IN WARE City Penitentiary of New Scene of Disturbance and Available Police Officers Called MANY ARE INJURED IN HALF=HOUR Peace Committees Meet to tie Racial Animosities Parley Results in Outbreak. By OLIVER S. GRAM LING New York, Oct. 22. iff 1 )—One pris¬ oner was killed and many injured to¬ day in rioting at the city penitentiary on Welfare Island which started in fighting among prison “peace mak¬ ers” in the warden’s office. Two committees of peace makers had met with the warden to settle rac¬ ial animosities which had broken be¬ tween prisoners. The peace makers suddenly began fighting and George Holshod was stabbed to death. The killing was the signal for general rioting which spread among some 200 prisoners of the 1,660 confined in the institution. The rioting continued for half an hour before it was quelled and many were injured in the fighting. The riot caused one of the greatest police concentrations in years. Be¬ tween 600 and 800 policemen, emer¬ gency squads, police boats and air¬ planes were sent to the scene. The police army was equipped with machine guns, rifles, revolvers and tear gas bombs. The peace committees consisted of two ipen each. Joey Kao, Harlem gangster, and Frank Mazzio, repre¬ sented one racial group while Hol¬ shod, the man who was killed, was one of the representatives of the other. Holshod was said to have struck Mazzio and then the fight began, spreading among some 200 prisoners who were being marched past the warden’s office at the time. The prison has a normal capacity of 1,368 but there are at present 1,- 660 inmatqs. The hundreds in their cells began screaming and shaking the bars as the fight began and for almost an hour there was bedlam. After the riot was quelled the sur¬ viving “peace makers” were taken to the warden’s office for questioning and about 50 prisoners were herded into an ante room for examination later. They seemed in. an ugly mood and more than 100 patrolmen were assigned to watch them, ready with revolvers, rifles and gas bombs to stop any new outbreak. The police boats continued to circle the island and the planes to wheel close overhead. None of the injured was ser iously hurt. Rao was believed by the police to have been the intended target of gangster bullets in the so-called Har¬ lem “baby murder” in east 107th street in July 1931. Vincent Coll, since slain by gangster machine gunners, was tried and acquitted of the Harlem shooting, in which one child was killed. Access to the island is gained either by ferry or by elevator from the cen¬ ter of the bridge. The island is sur¬ rounded by swirling currents coming out of Hell Gate, where the fast East river open into Long island Sound. Many timds prisoners have sought to swim to liberty from the island hut few have succeeded because of the treacherous currents. Inspector Vincent Sweeney sent 50 detectives to the island from police headquarters and ordered all squad commanders to send additional detec¬ tives from all over the city. As a pre¬ cautionary measure detectives patrolmen were sent to Tombs pris¬ on near- police headquarters to prevent any sympathetic outbreak there. The Tombs was the scene of the last ser¬ ious prison riot in New York. Besides the bridge elevator and the regular ferrv service the island is connected with the shore by an emer¬ gency exit from the B. M. T. subway tunnel from Manhattan to Queens, which runs directly under the island. There police airplanes were ordered to make a reconnaisance flight over the island to investigate a report that the prsioners had set fire to the great stone buildings.

HOOVER TAKES HIS DRIVE INTO OHIO PRESIDENT SOUNDS ANOTHER APPEAL, CONTINUING CAM¬ PAIGN FOR RE-ELECTION By NATHAN ROBERTSON Aboard President Special, En Route to Detroit Oct. 22. (IP)—President Hoover carried his campaign for re election into the pivotal state of Ohio today for the third time in as many weeks, after telling West Virginia audiences “the country is beginning to right itself” and pointing to Re¬ publican tariff policies as “a neces¬ sary factor” in the trend. At Charleston, W. Va., the first stop in his hurried, dawn to dusk dash to Detroit for a campaign speech the president told a throng overflow¬ ing the city’s football field that, the Democrats proposed to lower tariff rates and destroy the tariff commis¬ sion. He said they were attacking the Republican tariff with an ingenious hypothesis and a “fantastic idea.” Again at Huntington, W. Va., where lie left his train a second time to speak from an improvised platform at the station edge, the president at¬ tacked the Democratic tariff policies. While a crowd that filled an open park beside the station applauded and cheered him, Mr. Hoover said, “I am happy to tell you that during the last three or four months since we were freed from thet obstruction of the Democratic parly in the congress these measures (for reconstruction) have proved themselves so vital and so potent and so powerful that we have begun to see the evidence of recovery in every part of the country.” “That’s true, too,” someone shouted from the crowd that spread out be¬ low him. In contrast to what lie called the Democratic proposals for reductions {Charleston in tariffs, the chief executive told his audience he had asked the tariff commission to reinvestigate the tariff schedules to see whether many commodities were getting adequate protection in view of depreciated for¬ eign currency.

Five of the alleged victims are ,w - men. inc luding a mother and dattgiiL-i, two are white men and three are m - groes. Sheriff’s deputies and the police withheld the names of those who re¬ ported today, saying secrecy would aid them in their investigation of the cases. One of the floggings occurred last August, a woman told authorities. She saiil she feared another punish merit from the ('loggers if she report¬ ed it sooner. This woman said two cars loaded with white men came to her- chicken farm in east Jacksonville, severely heat her with a stick and left her there, telling her the reason for their act was because she “lived in a negro district.” The woman denied Ibis, saying she owned property in the district and operated a chicken farm on if, but did not live there. The other' woman who reported her' case today lives in the fashionable Ortega section. Two white nterr reporting today live in the Lackawanna section and near Ortega.

Wilcox, in charge of the Riverside precinct sta¬ tion wlro is leading the investigation for the police, today expressed tin' belief the floggings were the work of a band of 12 or 18 men. In each instance, tire officer declar¬ ed, the victims were told why they were being beaten or being mistreat¬ ed, and in some of the cases investi¬ gation has proven the floggcrs' charges unfounded.

Plante Prepares To Spend Fifth Year Outdoors Flynn’s Line, N. R., Oct. 22. {A') The gathering winds of winter' are whistling about a dreary, hoiaded-up house on the Canadian border, whose owner' lives in the. woodshed and is barred from even entering his own house. Arthur Plante, banned by the Unit od States immigration service into his own back yard, is patching up the ( hinks in the woodshed and preparing to spend his fifth winter there. The woodshed leans against, tire back of the house, hut is separated from it by the international boundary line. But if Plante may not, enter his house, neither ran the immigration inspectors, for the only entrance now is through the woodshed itself, and that, is in Canada. All other doors and windows Plante has hoarded up. Plante, a French-Canadian, immi¬ grated to the United States and lived 30 years. Then immigration agents were informed that Plante had made a visit to Canada, and fortified Iris rights to dwell in this country. When he returned to his property, the im¬ migration office at Malone refused to let him across the line. He became what is called in the service “line bound.” Washington, Ottawa and London became interested. The secretary of labor commended the officers. Plante resolved to stick to his prop¬ erty. He sealed his woodshed against cold, brought a big Canadian stove and “dug in” for the winter. He has lived in the shed ever since. PRICE FIVl: CENTS PROSPER!!!!
