Five men were wounded, at least two seriously. The end of the riot came after a half a day and a night of furious fighting during which guards, held hostage hy the embattled prison- ers, were murdered when their de- mands to Warden Francis BE. Craw- ford, for safe conduct from the pri- son were refused, During the riot, dynamite, barrages of mu- chine gun and rifle bullets and tear gas bombs failed to vanquish tne prisoners. . - Guards rushing into the cell house today found the bodies of the ringleaders, dead apparentiy about two hours. It was noted the rebellion had calmed about two hours before the prisoners march- ed from their stronghold, The exodus of the convicts fol- lowed immediately on receipt of news that the ringleaders of the rebellion which took the lives of at least 13 men had shot themselves during the early hours of the morning, Without opposition the guards swarmed into the enclosure about the cell house and surrounded the convicts, One of the guards who came out with the convicts said Danny Dan- fels, Major Davis, and "Red" Ril. ey, three of the known instigators of the riot, had committed sut- cide. Fifteen feet Inside the door lay the body of one of the guards, murdered last night by Daniels, the convicts said. A few feet fur ther along lay the body of Vane fels himself, leader of the riot and known executioner of at least three defenceless guards, The entering men came also up- on the bodies of James Pardue and Major Davis, other ring leaders. It was evident they had shot them- selves, the shots that killed them having been fired at close range. The features of the dead mutin- eers were mutilated, The convicts had made provi. sion for a long siege. In one of the cells they had stacked 25 huge loaves of prison bread. Two long butcher knives that might have been used as weapons were found near by. Marvin Duncan was still alive when taken from his cell, He was removed to Holmes Hospitas, Convicts Issue Orders The extent to which the 150 mutinous prisoners were masters of the situation within the prison walls, was indicated when a note tossed over the walls issued in ultimatum to Warden Crawford, that the prison guards held inside would be shot unless the warden bad three automobile outside the prison walls at sundown, The note added if the automobiles were furnished the guards would be taken along ag hostage to prevent the convicts being fired upon, At a safe distance from the prison the hr i would be released, the note sald, [] Warden Crawford refused to heed the ultimatum thrown from the prison, and informed Governor W. H.

The first of these was a matter of total tonnage of cruisers which the United States wants to make as low as possible. The second had to do with the yard stick of meastirement, which fundamentally is a question of how many G-inch gun cruisers should be regarded as equalling the 8-inch gun cruiser, Barn 1s Set Ablaze .

McAlpine Party ThoughttoHave Missed Route NOW BELIEVED TO BE MAROONED AND WITHOUT GAS Over Four Weeks Ago Since Explorers Left Baker Lake (By Canadian Press Leased Wire) Winnipeg, Man, Oct. 4.--Some- where on the Arctic shore of Cane ada's mainland, Col. C, D. H. McAl- pine and 'his seven lost companions are marooned today with their two gas-bereft scaplanes, This is the conclusion reached by a northern acrial search 'party after failure yes- terday to track down the missing ex- plorers, Back at Baker lake, near the west coast of Hudson Bay, after a recon- noitering sally along the supposed trail of the McAlpine party, Capt. G. S. Blanchet believes the McAlpine men missed the water route from Baker to Bathurst and soared on to the Arctic coast, either east or, west or Bathurst Inlet. McAlpine left Ba- ker Lake almost four weeks ago for he ice-locked radio post at the In. et. From Baker Lake to Beverley Lake to Pelley Lake, along the route to Bathurst, Capt. Blanchet's two plane search patrol followed the lost miners' route. Depletion of their gasoline supply forced them to return to Baker Lake, but not before their reconnoitering had definitely eliminated a large section of the barrens from the area that must be searched. The outright suggestion from Captain Blanchet that the McAl- pine group may have flown through to the northern sea leaves on the shoulders of Pilot "Lunch" Dick ins, the burden of hope for the lost men's immediate discovery, and it has been the signal for an immedi: ate summons to at least two added planes to join the battle against the impregnability of the barrens. The first half of the route from Baker to Bathurst has been combed by Pilots Roy Brown and William Spence of the Blanchet searchers. nd it remained to Dickins, flying alone over the midlands of the north to scan the latter portion of the supposed route of the lost men, Out of the lakelands just north of Alberta's northern boundary, Dick- ins hopped off two days ago en route over treacherous tundra wastes to Bathurst. If no clues accompany his return, he is to join Capt. Blanchets two planes in a hunt along the gulfs and inlets of Canada's farthest shore. 0 planes of the Royal Cana- dian Air Force, placed at the dis- posal of the searchers some days ago, were called into action today from Cranberry Lake, in Northern Manitoba, with Pllots Uhlman and Gibbs at the controls, They were requested to proceed today to without foundation, the report adds. Stoney Rapids, search base in Prospector Loses Himself Toronto, -Oct. 4.--Sandy Mcln- tyre, bewhiskered prospector who staked the Hollinger Mine, got lost in one of Toronto's skyscrapers yesterday. On the sixteenth floor, Sandy could not find any way to descend. He crawled out on the tire escape and started down. A woman who saw him, thought he was a burglar and gave an alarm. By that time, Sandy had arrived on the last flight of steps, and won- dered whether he was to jump the last twelve feet or so, - Explana- tions followed; and the old pros- pector was initiated into the mys- teries of modern elevators. Grain Loading Records Made 500,000 Bushels in Less Than Three And One Half Hours (By Canadian Press Leased Wire) Port Arthur, Ont, Oct. 4.-- Grain loading records were created at Port Arthur yesterday afternoon when in a space of three and one- halt hours (correct) 500,000 bushels were poured from Saskat- chewan pool elevator number 7 into the holds of the Canada Steamship Lines steamer Lemoyne an additional 50,969 bushels and 40 pounds were added for trim- ming purposes in one and three quarter hours, making a total cargo of 550,069 bushels and 40 pounds in four hours and 16 min- utes, something which is believed has never before been accomplish- ed at any elevator. The Lemoyne is the steamer which with a. cargo of 570,000 bushels taken out of Port Arthur last June, created a capacity grain carrying record. Yesterday's load- ing record was three hours and five minutes less than the best previous loading of the same boat. | Unique Dinner London.--The Prince of Wales will preside at an unique dinner to ¢ held two days before Armistice day.

Hon, Ramsay MacDonald, Britain's Labor Prime Minister, today. Europe, he asserted, just before setting foot on the soil of the United States, did not regard the Anglo-American disarmament ne- gotiations with fear and trembling, "An Anglo-American mutual .und- erstanding will be welcomed by Europe," he added. "Europe is not afraid," The Prime Minister and his daugh- ter, Ishbel were received here today with all the warmth and enthusiasm of which the United States metropo- lis is capable. Their reception was a veritable triumph, Land, sea and air forces of the United States were utilized in an en- deavour to show Great Britain's goodwill messenger that he and his mission are welcome over the liner Berengaria, proud with fluttering flags, flew 12 United States army, planes, while the municipal tug Ma« com with its welcoming committee steamed out to the liner, From the mast of the "Macom" floated the Union Jack, and while Mr. Mace Donald, his daughter and members of the party were transferred from the Berengaria to the smaller vessel, a military band played God Save the King and Rule Britannia. Previous- ly naval honors had been paid the Premier by the joining up with the Berengaria of the cruisers Memphis and 71renton. From the fort at the entrance of New York harbor, a sa- lute of nineteen guns was. fired, A grey sky in the early morning had given place to brilliant sunshine, and the trip ashore was made over roll- ing water, sparkling in the bright« ness of a fine day. As soon as the Macom reached the Berengaria, a reception commit= tee of distinguished citizens went on board and shook hands with the Bri« | tish Prime Minister and his daughe ter, Both Mr. MacDonald and Miss Ishbel apeared in the best of healthy They were smiling and happy. The Premier was dressed formally and he wore a top hat on leaving ther liner, ; What might have been a serious accident was narrowly averted when a hawser holding the Macom againsg. the Berengaria parted just as Mrq MacDonald was preparing to step a= board the gang plank. The macom slid back several feet almost pulling the gang plank oft her deck. Mr. MacDonald was wav ed back and a new hawser quickly adjusted. He and his, party then clambered aboard the city tug. Then the prime minister had ta face a bararge of cameras, With his daughter he stood smiling on the deck of the tug while more than a score of cameras clicked and motion picture operators "shot" him. He betrayed no' impatience and even obeyed directions called to him by anxious 'operators, : Anticipating a bararge of questiond from the large delegation of news< paper men which greeted him om board the Berengaria, Premier Mace Donald gave out a prepared statee ment, The statement follows: "At the moment of arrival I greed my hosts.
