Jan. Fraiiklin D. RoosevelJ, private citl- zen and president-elect, who is gradually getting "the feel" of the new duties he will take over March 4, will. confer this afternoon with Secretary of State Henry L. Stimson on the international situation.

Just what specific problems they will discuss was not revealed by either Mr. Roosevelt or Mr. Stimson in advance of the conference. The president-elect, who devoted his attention last week to domestic affairs, gave the impression he merely intends to consult Stimson about details of the conduct of the state he Senate Committee Puts O.K. on Repeal Measure; i WASHINGTON.

The brief-lived outbreak was quelled by prison guards with revolvers before the mounted troopers, hastily summoned from outlying provincial stations, arrived at the prison.

Aitho authorities at the penitentiary maintained strict silence concerning the affair, it was learned the flareup was part of a long planed general riot, in which the convicts planned to engineer a wholesale escape. The plot, said to have matured for several days, was tipped off to a guard by a friendly convict. Thru the convict, prison officials learned the disorder was to start late Saturday afternoon when the inmates returned from the prison workshops to their cells. Extra patrols of guards were posted immediately and the prisoners were ordered to qiu't work 15 minutes earlier than usual. Confused by this acticn, the convicts marched quietly to the cell blocks and no trouble started until most of the men had been locked in.

A scattering of the convicts still in the corridors then turned on the guards while others hurled matters with which the States is now dealing. Stimson is expected to confer with Mr. Roosevelt at some length-probably for several hours. The president-elect will have opportunity to obtain from Stimson authoritative and official information on such subjects as war debts, the far east situation, the problems of European countries as related to the world-wide depression and the question of United States recognition of Soviet Russia.

Roosevelt yesterday discussed the foreign situation with Senator Thomas J. Walsh of Montana, one of the ranking Democrats on the senate foreign relations committee.
