758 eachirs have been allotted to the

anticipated that fully as many as 175
additional techers will be needed this

exceed the total of last year.

had been missnig more than a weeK,
were found today between Sudbury
and Abi’ibi canyon in northern On
tario. They were ill from the hard
ships they had undergone in the bush
country.
In order that the outside world
might learn of their plight, the two
balloonists cut down a telephone pole,
knowing that repairmen would be
sen tout to fix the damage. They at
tached to the pole the following
note:
‘‘This telephone, pole was cut §teP

a gun and some food, but are both
sick, evidently from ptomaine poi

we will answe-r. Please hurry.”
Patrolman James Barrett was sent
out this morning to determine what
was wrong with the telephpne line.

Scores of armed guards early today
began to close in on a cknebrake seven

were believed surrounded after a
bloody Sunday prison break, in which
three men were killed and at least,

Twelve convicts, three of them in

many of them long termers, used
smuggled pistols to take possession of
Camp E, a sugar farm at the State
penitentiary, during a Sunday after
noon bseball game.
They held guards at bay and ter
rorized visitors at the prison farm for
a half hour, raided the arms lockers,
confiscated a dozen shotguns, rifles
and pistols, and then shot their way
through the main gate of the prison.
The fleeing convicts left one of
their own dead, Bill Stone, 28, of Dal

visitor’s automobile, which was aban
doned at the cane brake. It was be

Army Officers Demand He
Step Aside
Havana, Sept. 11.—(AP)—Cuba’s
Fourth government in a month rode
in the saddle today with a 48-year
old former professor at the reins, and
the going was none too easy.
No sooner had Dr. Ramon Grau San
Martin, chosen president by a junta
which assumed control only last
Monday, pledged himse4f to ‘‘fulfill
entirely the revolutionary program,”
than 300 former army officers de
manded he step aside in favor of
Carlos Manuel de Cespedes, whose
brief regime began a month ago.
In Santigao there were disquieting
reports that heavily armed bands
roamed the coontryside ready for re
volution in behalf of former Presi
dent Maiio de Menocal, that unrest
led merchants to close their stores
and-, that army officers refused to re
turn to their duties.
And in Havana’s central park, 5,-
000 persons met to hear agitators de
cry the newest government as lend
ing itself to the “machinations of
Wall Street’s financiers,” shout
“Down with Yankee imperialism,”
and demanded the withdrawal Os

waters.
Banners carried by communists re
