April 29; May 6, 13, 20, 27 GUARDS OPEN FIRE ON OHIO CONVICTS (Continued from page 1) "we'll play ball," he reported. It was believed that Haubrich's entry into the prison marked the end of the morning's violence. Governor Myers. Y. Cooper issued a statement the trouble was in progress, saying that "order must be restored" and explaining that "the civil of the warden has been reinforced with such use of the national guard as necessary." "The governor feels that sufficient consideration has been given for the extraordinary conditions resulting from the fire and loss of life and the time has now come when the routine of institution regulate established," the governor's statement said.

All morning there had been unrest and an ugly spirit in the prison. During the night city firemen had come into the prison and prepared to train their fire hoses on the convicts in event of trouble. Caicials also had recognized the increasingly irritated situation by preparing to declare martial law in case of further trouble, and this eventually was done. Tuesday morning guards and troops were proceeding with the work of segregating prisoners, isolating the agitators. Presence of the firemen was bound to have set off a demonstration while the work of segregation was proceeding.

A few windows were said to have been broken by the demonstrators. Guards lined at the partition between the cells and guard rooms, according to information coming out of the prison, answered the demonstrations with a volley from sawedoff shotguns. Convicts fle dfor cover shouting "butchers" while the guards stood with coco guns ready to fire again, "Look at the dead men in here," came the cries from the convicts. "If you don't tear this place down we will." Fire apparatus and then stretcher-bearers were moved into the prison enclosure while troops and guards kept the prisoners covered. At 11 a.m.

the situation had quieted sufficiently to permit Col. Haubrich to enter and notify the convicts that he was in charge under the declaration of martial law. Governor Cooper announced Col. Haubrich had taken over complete control of prison, subject to orders from the warden. The soldiers, however, he said, have authority to take any action they deem necessary in the absence of the warden's orders.

The outbreak was described by three newspapermen who were standing in the guard room when the first volley was fire J. They said six penitentiary guards and three national guardsmen were lined against the west wall of the guard room. Their guns were pointing towards the cell block. Convicts had forced them from the east side of the roont which 1s separated from the cell block by bars covered with wood and beaverboard. Convicts inside were storming the partition, part of which collapsed and small objects, bolts and nails were being thrown through the aperture.

Stimson confined his remarks on the treaty to the brief statement above, but Senator Robinson, democrat, Arkansas, paved the way for the controversy that the senate promises to indulge in over the treaty.

He issued a statement in which he said: "It is province of the president to decide when the treaty shall be stibmitted to the senate for tion. Indications are that the treaty will be submitted at a very early date. I am not informed concerning the length of time allowed for discussion. "From my viewpoint the treaty presents issues which are not difficult to understand.
