The free lance contributor to American newspapers and magazines Ohio Briefs ijp Two hundred rampaging convicts were corraled in a wire-enclosed freight siding at the Greater-ford Prison Farm of the Eastern Penitentiary tonight, to await transfer to the "Cherry Hill" branch of the prison in Philadelphia. State police, highway patrolmen and guards kept watch over them after a riotous three hours. Fires started by the prisoners and other destructive tactics caused a loss of thousands of dollars, it was said officially, but not a shot was fired. There were no serious casualties, and none of the convicts escaped.

Dr. Guy T. Holcombe, president of the prison board of trustees, said he was awaiting return of Warden Herbert Smith from Quan-tico, before the transfer from the "model prison" at Greaterford to the old "Cherry Hill" institution. Rev. Joseph Kenny, acting chaplain, approached the enclosure this evening and asked the prisoners to join him in prayer.

Their only replies were cries of "we want food and tobacco." Dr. Holcombe said he did not know what started the outbreak, but added an investigation is beginning without delay. Although the expansive prison grounds confines more than 1,600 ly inaugurate an intensive activity to promote this work, E. J. Winter, executive secretary of the commission, announced today.

The safety service program which is sponsored in conjunction with State Highway Department will include a direct appeal, to civic leaders, public-spirited organizations and public officials, automobile clubs, motorists, school authorities, and the public throughout Ohio.

Beginning with the September school term there will be more intensified activities sponsored by the Safety Service Commission among the -school children of the state. It is proposed to carry on this work in all schools, public, parochial, and private in keeping with the general appeal of the program. In addition the "safety appeal" will be conveyed to employers and employees in industry with mutual cooperation invited to further the program of "accident reduction" on the streets and highways of Ohio.

Ex-Convict's Body Is Found in Trunk at New York Home NEW YORK, Aug. 25. (ff) The mutilated body of a small-time ex-convict was found in a trunk today in the areaway of the home of a former law partner of Police Commissioner John F. O'Bryan. The nude body, legs hacked away, was identified as that of Bernard McMa-hon, 41 years old, arrested six times since 1914 and who served a term in the Elmira, N.

refromatory, through fingerprints. Tony Tarantino, caretaker at the 154 West Seventy-fourth street home of General Louis W. Stoesbury, former O'Bryan partner, made the gruesome discovery when he went to the areaway to perform his morning cleaning task. He was positive it was not there yesterday. Crushed and bruised, the body was shoved into the metal trunk, three feet in length and two feet in width, face downward.

One of the dismembered legs was wrapped in orown paper, the other in a double-breasted blue coat which had all marks of identification removed. Tomorrow the Legion members will hear a talk by the Rev. Robert White of Washington. Six candidates are in the field for board said. Members of the Board of Trustees of the Indiana Reformatory also filed their proposed budget, containing requests for new building to cost $116,000.

Their total budget for the two years is $1,000,780. The third institutional budget filed today was that of the Village for Epileptics at New Castle. That institution is seeking $8,000 for laundry equipment, $15,000 for three; cottages and equipment for assistant physicians', $162,500 for a new infirmary to house 124 men and $24,370 for other improvement. Adj. Gen.

Elmer F. Straub also announced today that he will seek a $210,000 increase in appropriations for the National Guard for the next two years. Straub went to the Dunes State Park today to explain his proposed budget to Gov. Paul V. McNutt.

"About noon 200 of the prisoners, armed with clubs and bars of iron and tools, who apparently are responsible for the riot, after doing all the destruction they could in the cell blocks, got on a hill and defied the guards to come and get them. "At this point, Capt.

Leitheiser (Deputy Warden in charge) called on Major Adams of the state police for reinforcements. Forty state policemen arrived in 10 cars and more are being held in reserve nearby.

(Continued From Page One) he deny that Charles Dunn, who was decisively defeated in the effort to be chosen County Chairman at the party's County convention last May, was one of those sponsoring the club. In a statement today, Fred Pickett, as County Chairman, pointed out that it was such a split in the County organization as is again fostered, that "jeopardized" the chances of the party for success in election campaigns. His statement follows: "The regular Democratic organization has neither sponsored, approved nor opposed the formation of the so-called New Deal Club.

"It is my observation that such clubs have inevitably led to party division which have seriously jeopardized its success in previous campaigns. "The regular selected precinct committeemen and women, many of whom have rendered long and faithful service to the party, merely desire the opportunity to serve in the same efficient and effective manner that has characterized their services in the past. "I prefer that these regularly chosen leaders conduct this campaign. "The New Deal Club is sponsored largely by employees of the State Administration whose chief interest at this time should be for the complete triumph of the party in this campaign. "We will be pleased to have them join us in accomplishing this purpose." Organization of the New Deal Club in Wayne County follows a meeting recently held here, at which Omer Jackson, Democratic State Chairman, voiced the desire that all functions be administered through the regular party organization channels.

Its formation here is looked upon by many of the regular party workers as a desire on the part of those repudiated at the county convention to take over control of the county party work. The club, according to Chairman Pickett, is not sanctioned by the regular organization, and is apart from the regularly chosen county organization. A similar organization was formed in Wayne County prior to the 1932 campaign, and was known as the McNutt for Governor Nonpartisan Club. Party organization leaders sav NEXT (Continued From Page One) would buy the first suit he tried on.

Powell followed the two holdup men who dodged and sprinted through the milling crowds, finally turning south on South Ninth street. There Yaryan Treffinger, 124 South Fifteenth street, accompanied by Joseph Dixon, 514 South Fourteenth street, took Powell into his car. They overtook the holdup men near South A street but their quarry evaded them by forcing themselves into Hickman's car. Treffinger and Dixon followed kidnapers and captive for some time until they finally lost trace of the car in the far South End. They thought the Hickman machine had gone south on the Boston pike and so advised the police.
