Warmth from the sun, bringing welcome contrast to the two past days of chilly blasts and swirling snows, caused water literally to pour from the city's, skyscrapers and left streets fiHed with mushy dirt and ice. Business and transportation, both all but paralyied during the storm which brought a record of 19,2 inches of snow, were rapidly being restored to normal operation and the whole city was rejoicing at one piece of good luck which blew in with the proverbial ill for 40,000 men clearing away the slush and chopping through thn packed drifts.

JEFFERSON CITY, March 27 (By A.

uprising of more than. 1,200 convicts in the Missouri penitentiary today, the second within 24 hours, was speedily put down with the use of tear bombs and clubs to subdue about 400 of the most rebellious prisoners, and drastic disciplinary measures were put into effect tonight to prevent further disorders. Twenty convicts were injured, none seriously, in the melee which took place at noon in the main prison dining room after 750 convicts had refused to leave the hall. Prison guards and state militiamen dislodged about 400 'of them after the other 250 had fled outside under threat of an attack. Earlier in the day a strike against work by more than 600 convicts had forced suspension of operations at prison factories and about 88 per- jcent of the penitentiary's population had been locked in cells.

Machine' Guns Posted. No shots were fired during the riot, but machine guns were trained on the prison court, scene of the disorder. The convicts had no weapons. Warden Leslie Rudolph said tonight the situation was well In hand, but he was uncertain as to whether the backbone of the mutiny, in evid- lence for some been broken. He said no effort probably would be made to operate factories tomorrow.

In a late today in the court yard to 600 of 800 convicts who did not take; part today's disorders, Warden Rudolph laid down a new and drastic set of penitentiary rules designed, he said, "to make this a real prison instead of a kindergarten." Refuse to Work. Today's clash climaxed a rebellion which started immediately after breakfast when fifty convicts rb- i fused to go to work in the chair factory, and which spread rapidly to five other factories where convicts, with, no threat of violence, simply quit work. The'riot in the main dining room was started by the same 750 who yesterday mutinied for two hours without violence because they ob. jected to stew that was fed them for lunch. Today they ate their food, but when the sigfnal to leave was given, they stubbornly refused to move from their tables until routed.

Later in the day Warden Rudolph received reports from convicts that the outbreak was planned overnight as a general strike with a possible attempt to burn two or more of the factories so as to get out of work. Investigation into.lhese; reports was ordered. ARE SLIGHTLY HURT.
