CAP.) Three hundred convicts at grim Dartmoor prison, enraged over a nfess of sugarless porridge, waged a bitter, futile battle with prison guards and police today in one of the most violent penal outbreaks in British history. Two convicts were understood to have been "killed, 95 wounded and 011.5 was believeXl to have escaped in an all-day conflict in which the prisoners burned the principal buildings and attempted a wholesale get-away over the walls.1 Twelve wardens and police were injured. The home office in London issued a statement, however, saying no inmates had been killed and none had escaped. Only about 20 remained in the hospital according to this souice and none of the injuries to guards or police was serious. The prisoners, who claimed to have been goadejj on by mistreatment which reached a climax when sugar was from their breakfast porridge, rioted early in the day and seriously threatened the lives of the governor, S.

N. Roberts, and a commissioner, Colonel Turner. Long before dawn the prison was in. a hubbub with the inmates beating on their cell doors and walls in protest. When the men were paraded Into the courtyard for exercise previous to chapel they banded together and began to battle with their guards.

Auto Show Attendance Of 50,000 Seen Record Number Expected This Week Dealers Optimistic Over Opening Day's Crowd High optimism prevailed among automobile and accessories dealers Sunday a consequence of the unexpectedly large attendance at the Hartford Automobile Show on the opening day Saturday. "We are looking forward to a record breaking total approximating fifty thousand during this week," Arthur Fifoot, show manager, asserted.

"Considering the fact that it was raining Saturday, the attendance of more than 4000 was far better than We expected. It shows the interest which people have in the new models." Sees Real Upturn Indicated. Enthusiastic over the show itself end the beauty of the decorated hall, done in silver to mark the Silver Jubilee of the Hartford Automobile Dealers Association which is sponsoring the show, Mr. Fifoot said he found in the widespread interest in the show a real Indication of the upturn of the automobile industry. "I know personally of several sales that took place Saturday night," he said.

"There is no doubt that car owners and prospective car owners are impressed by the new models. It imnossible for them not to see that they are getting far more value for their money than they ever got before In the new cars. And I am sure many will decide to take advantage of this by turning in old cars and buying new ones at these remarkable values." Dealers Express Confidence. Mr. Fifoot based hjs belief of an upturn of the reasoning that the first Impetus in the industry must be given by purchasers.

With renewed buying will come renewed activities on the parts of dealers, distributors find manufacturers. Such renewed buying, he said, appears inevitable in view of the attendance Saturday and the record breaking attendance expected this week, when the show will be open dally from 1 p. vr 10:30 p. m. Two new models were added to the 1 show Sunday and others will be added to the show during the week, Mr.

Fifoot said. The new models will be brought from the Providence, R. show which closed Saturday night. Automobile dealers whose models are on exhibit at the show expressed equal pleasure at the results of the opening day and were enthusiastic in expressing their confidence of a.n outstandingly successful week.
