JOLIET JAILBREAK PLOT FRUSTRATED Woman Involved in Cunning Scheme Involving Pistols, Knives, Code Telegrams Convicts Planned to Start Riot in Shops, Seize Guards As Hostages and Escape JOLIET, Dec. 8 (AP) -A desperate plot for a wholesale break of convicts from the Illinois State Penitentiary, scene of one of the bloodiest prison riots in history, was frustrated today by the vigilance of guards. SIx long term prisoners, most of them incorrigibles, were placed in solitary confinement on bread and water diets, warrants were issued for a man wife outside the penitentiary, and prison officials were tracing evidence toward other unruly convicts. The plot.

was described as unusually cunning. It centered about smuggled pistols and knives, code telegrams and letters, and plans for inciting a riot to befog a walkout with guards as shields from gunfire. Several of the plotters were ring leaders in the vicious Statesville riot of 1931, in which several were killed as thousands of convicts fought for liberty. Joe Latino and his wife, Jeanette, were arrested at Rockford, as the couple wanted outside the walls for assisting in the escape. Prison officials first discovered the escape plan a week ago when a wooden box containing a pistol and ammunition was thrown over the prison wall.

The box was allowed to lie in the courtyard. The following day an inmate was seized as he attempted to loop it with a wire and draw it into a work shop through an open ventilating shaft. Guards then found six knives secreted in a a barrel in another shop. Another convict was seized when he attempted to retrieve them. Previously a telegram came to the prison saying "Deowert sympathies death.

of convict your to father." whom it The was father addressed died 20 years ago, prison records showed. The telegram and several coded letters allegedly were traced to the Latinos, and so was the pistol and ammunition. Originally the plan was for the prisoners to seize a group of women singers who gave a concert in the chapel last Sunday and use them as shields in escaping. The plan was abandoned because too many guards, secretly warned the plot, were on duty about the place. The outbreak was postponed.

Today the plotters planned a riot in the shops, seize guards as hostages, and walk out of the gates with the knives as their only weap035. Seizure of the knives and of the leaders in the plot prevented it. UNIONS TO PROTEST DELAY ON WORK PROGRAM There will be a meeting Monday of the State Federation of Labor, Building Trades Council and the Central Labor Union at the headquarters of the latter to complete pians for a mass meeting to be held here next week to protest inaction of the Legislature on the public works program. The musicians' union already has promised to supply music for the meeting. Speakers probably will be announced Monday.

Thursday, the three organizations sent a telegram to H. E. Hopkins, Civil Works Administrator at Washington, protesting that labor is not represented on the State CWA board, and that women in the Wilmington sewing unit, since last Saturday, have been paid but 35 cents an hour, though they were previously paid the NRA rate of 45 cents an hour. ROBBERS CHLOROFORM FAMILY AND LOOT HOME CAMDEN, N. Dec.

8 (AP)-Chloroformed by thieves, four persons awoke this afternoon to discover their home ransacked. Charles Bryant, 70, who usually arises before 8 was the first to get up.

The thieves had also searched other rooms.

The front door stood open. Detectives said it was the first case of its kind in Camden's history. JOHNSON SEES SIX- HOUR DAY FOR INDUSTRY SOON NEW YORK, Dec. 8 (AP) -Eventually industry in the United States will operate under the six-hour day, predicted General Hugh Johnson, recovery administrator, today. "Eventually we will have to come to it," he said.

"Our figures show that if we return to the 1928-1929 standard of prosperity there would still be four million unemployed. And there would be no other way to take up the slack without having a 30- hour week." Asked for his reaction to Alfred E. Smith's reference to "baloney dollars" the administrator replied: "What does Al Smith know about any kind of dollars?"

JOHN BIGGS DECRIES ENDING ASSEMBLY, IGNORING JOBLESS (Cortinued From First Page) Democratic members of the two houses were at all times ready to go mare, than amendments half-way, to as their witness projected their plan of financing to meet the numerous objection raised by the Republicans. Regrets State's Lone Position "To my mind, it seems unfortunate that State of Delaware will be the only in the Union that will not follow the Reconstruction Program of President Roosevelt in his effort to rehabilitate the nation. "As a Delawarean and as a Democrat I voice the opinion of many who have called me tonight on the Governor's act, that after all the problem was our Governor's.

Whether his decision to adjourn the two houses is a wise one remains to be seen. For me I cannot understand why it is that the Republicans in dais State have been insistent in opposing the Federal grants, particularly when one recalls the many public utterances of high in this State decrying the fact that Delaware gets back such a small part of the Federal taxes paid by her citizens. I express the hope that a kind Providence will temper the cold Winter winds 50 that the suffering of the unfortunate will not be too great." Clifford Pryor, of Blackbird, Democratic member of the House, in 8 statement he issued after the Legislature had been adjourned, said: 'The news that Governor Buck has proclaimed an adjournment of the special session will be good news to some. Personally I have no regrets. I am sorry, however, that those who looked for ILS to accomplish, something by way of a public works so as to provide for employment of the many unemployed artisans will be disappointed.

For them it is another weary Winter, in which they and their loved ones will be cold and hungry. Self of those citizens will sink. What the possible outcome may be I fear to think. Of course, the forces of Republicanism have triumphed. Democracy again takes it on the chin because elected Senators and Representatives refuse to heed the call of their constituents and listen only to an administration which is out of step with the rest of the country.

I call upon the people of the Senatorial and Representative districts to rise at polls at the next general election in November of 1934 and elect people, men or women, who will be moved only by considerations of fair play and public weal. The State of Delaware can no longer afford to have here in the legislative halls men who are supine and consider only the call of the individual selfish politician. If it continues that we have men here who do the bidding of the several wealthy interests; who as stupidly ignore the call of the people to leadership; who are interested to defeat the passage of needed bills like a work relief plan because of political reasons or refuse to take up bills like the one for the establishment of a Utility Commission to protect the consumers from the overpowering burden of gas and electric rates, then I say that a new element will spring to power that may not be all that we want or what is needed. 9 DELAWARE COUPLES MARRIED AT ELKTON Special to The Morning News ELKTON, Dec. 8-For the first time in many weeks a falling off in the issue of morriage licenses at Elkton was observed this week, when only 79 couples were granted licenses to wed.

A. compile a list of established service stations eligible to receive part discounts from dealers. To receive these discounts the service station operators must have signed the blanket code. The board announced that in order to receive recognition from the A. M.

A. all these service station operators must register with the A. M. A. or with Mr.

The directors therefore passed a resolution directing the secretary to communicate with President John E- Hazzard and City Council and offering to appoint a committee to cooperate with Council in preparing an ordinance to properly classify all service stations and thus aid the city in obtainng more revenue.

OIL PRICE FIXING SUBSTITUTE FILED WASHINGTON, Dec. 8 (AP) -Secretary Ickes, oil administrator, tonight public without comment two proposals of the petroleum industry substitutes for price fixing. They provide for removing excess stocks of from the market and for guaranteeing profit margins to distributors.

The proposals signed by 24 major companies, provide for a national petroleum agency which would employ an equalization fund contributed by the industry to control excess gasoline stocks, and for a code of marketing practices designed to protect distributors from price wars. While not making known his decision, Ickes has' indicated approval of general purposes and methods of the proposals. The primary aim of the industry is to stabilize gasoline prices on the ground that their unsteadiness is the major factor disturbing the oil price structure, and that if this correction is made crude prices may be set successfully under the present program of production control both of gasoline and, crude. The signers of the agreements represent all conflicting factions in the industry and are but the first cf many more oil companies which were said to be ready to sign.

CITY TO PROVIDE 20 PER CENT OF FUNDS EXPENDED (Continued From First Page) thereafter, Mr.

Frazzard called the meeting for last night and Mayor Speer replied his call remained unchanged. The upshot was a statement, from Councilman Grant after the meeting last night that Council positively will meet at noon today; for what purpose he said he could not say. Call of Meeting Questioned There was a reflection of this controversy last night on the floor of Council when Councilman McManus questioned the legality of the meeting. He insisted a call should have issued and signed five councilmen. President Hazzard conceded this and a five minute adjournment was taken during which a formal call was scribbled out and signed by five councilmen.

Then the session started anew. Before adoption of the resolution agreeing to put up 20 per cent of the CWA funds, there was but little discussion. A few of the Councilmen to remark they would vote for arose, amount if it would get the work started. Mr. Grant moved that the 10 per cent resolution adopted November 30 be rescinded.

This was carried unanimously on roll call. Then he moved to adopt the same resolution inserting in place of the 10 per cent clause, the words "and agrees to contribute 20 per cent of the money allocated and used on Civil Work projects in Wilmington, allocated by the Federal Government." This was carried unanimously. $450,000 for County Previously in the meeting Mr. Grant made a brief statement in which he said $450,000 had been allocated New Castle county in Civil Works funds so far, with $200.000 for the rest of the about $380,000 of this; that, of State; that do Wilmington would get, 000 worth of projects for Wilmington already submitted to the Federal Government, $160,000 worth had been approved. In his statement on Mr.

Gant earlier in the day, Mr. Hazzard said among other things: "We feel that his duties with the CWA will require but a small amount of time because Mr. Gant will have a competent staff engineers working under him. We also wish it understood that Mr. Gant is serving the CWA without pay.

We feel that inasmuch as he has started the work and 15 carrying it out in a very capable manner, he should continue to at least give a portion of his time to it. "At today's conference, we agreed that Charles T. Eichroth should remain as CWA engineer under Mr. Gant. We were also permitted to submit three names, one or more of tional engineers under Mr.

which would be selected as addle. One engineer is to be selected for each county. Will Be Non-Partisan "It was further agreed that the CWA organization would be ed on a non-partisan basis and that all concerned would make every effort possible to start the CWA program A in this city."

There is little prospect for further considerable rise in dairy, products prices within the next few months, except as a result of a distinct rise in the general price level. Dairy prices have lagged somewhat behind those of other farm proproducts, and it is probable they will now follow this usual course. Large Number of Milk Cows The number of milk cows is abnormally high and cannot La quickly reduced without greatly increasing the number of cows marketed.

The large number of milk cows on farms, the tendencies toward milking more beef cows and toward earlier weaning and the ample supply of labor favor a heavy increase in the output of products if prices are materially dairy, increased with no control of production. MARY PICKFORD FILES SUIT FOR DIVORCE FROM DOUG (Continued From First Page) recorded here during the afternoon in her name. Since they have kept their business interest largely separate, Pickfair is believed to represent the major part of the community property.

Her admission came when Pickfair, always referred to by the actress as her "dream home, was advertised for sale. Later it was withdrawn from the market. Since then she has been residing alone in the great mansion. The key to the situation which has engulfed the her lovely Mary was conseparation admission. "I love my husband," she said, her voice choking with emotion.

"I don't want to say there will be a divorce. Divorce for someone you love as dearly and tenderly as I have loved Douglas for 16 years is almost an unbearable thought. Our separations, 85 you know, have become more and more frequent." As the months went by, Mary, alone in the vast richly furnished home, brooded, friends said, and dwelt upon happiness of past while Fairbanks, announcing that his sole interest was travel, played wth royalty and nobility and the spectacular figures of London's Mayfair. Second Marriage For Both At the time of their marriage, Pickford was at the height of her Miss screen career. They were married in Los Angeles May 28, 1920 and separated, the complaint stated, May 29, 1931.

She had been married to Owen Moore, firm actor, but when Fairbanks himself divorced from Beth Sully, entered her life, Miss Pickford often remarked that the "one great love of my existence was born." She was divorced from Moore at Minden, Nev. A whirlwind courtship followed with Fairbanks, playing in real life, the role he was assayed so often on the screen. Then they bult Pickfair, valued at $500,000. MAN SEIZED IN KILLING OF GIRL AT CRISFIELD Captured by Sheriff as Father, 8 Brothers of Victim Hunt Him PRINCESS ANNE, Dec.
