Mich., Aug. 28.—OP)—'Twen- < ty-four convicts from tiie Michigan .

J They made their way into a rotunda*, leading from the dormitory, rushed , the guards there, and likewise over powered them. They then charged the administrfi- ) tion office, where additional guards ( i and officials were seized. The prison |i authorities were marched back into. i the ce!l§ formerly occupied by the i prisoners, and locked there. j t About 400 men were confined in the 1 reformatory, but the escaping prison- * ers made no attempt to release anyi* others than those of their dormitory.] l Inmates of the institution are all ] , young nien rr jming in age from 18 to | [1 80 years, and most of them are first offenders. Only two life prisoners * are confined at the institution. ft A general alarm was sent out, ami , posses were formed at a half dozen , eities to assist authorities in appre- j bending the men. The alarm soon | spread, and residents of the district j were thrown into n near panic. |j About eight of the men fled in two i antomobileß which they sized. The 1 others were reported to have fled 1 afoot into the country. Several I hours after the escape reports Were,' seen heading toward I.ansing, Posses 1 were reported formed at a half dozen ' 1 towns to head them off, and serious trouble was feared. The twenty-four men who escaped, according to offi- | cials, include many of the most des perate criminals housed at the insti- I tution. An officer on duty at a telephone ! booth in the prison office sounded the nlarm. Officials succeeded in pre venting the esca|te of any of the pris oners confined in the other dormi tories. , About fifteen of the convicts later entered a garage on the outskirts of the city, commandeered four automo biles and sped away in the general I direction of Detroit. A squad of State police arrived early today to assist in the search. Frank Shean, warden of the refor matory, was absent at the time of the break and Deputy Warden Ed ward Haight was in charge. It was Haight assisted by Deputy Frank Iceland who prevented what probably would have resulted in a wholesale delivery. Summoned by the V switchboard attendant, they rushed to the scene of the disturbance and op ened fire on the escaping men, one of whom apparently being wounded. The deputies restored order in the other cells, where pandemonium had broken .loose. Fall Styles For IV3S Are Afore In triguing to Hollywood Stars. (By International News Servise.) Hollywood.

Raleigh. Aug- 27.—The now far famed Newton highway controversy is destined again to overshadow the deliberations of the State Supreme Court. which convenes Tuesday, August 31, for its fall term to con sider docket of 14 cases, none of which are criminal cases, all of which arc from the First Judicial - district. For of more interest than , any of these 14 cases, on the docket is the decision which the court will make as to whether or not it will re- , hear the Newton highway case. Peti tion has been filed for some time ask ing that the case be re-heard, and the court will have 30 days in which to make known its final decision. It is expected that an announcement as ■ to whether it will or will not re- i hear the case will be madg within a ■ few days after the court convenes. 1 The State Highway Department, I at whose instigation the rehearing i has been asked, is most hopeful that ! its petition will be granted, inns- I much as all work on the Newton- i Statesville link of Highway No. 10 is being held up pending the disposi- i tion of the ease. The Supreme Court i at the last session, made permanent the injunction granted against the , construction of the highway over the , route laid out by the Highway de partment, because it did not run through the center of Newton and , "pasr-fbe court house door.” The de- ' cision wag written by Justice Brog don, but a dissenting opinion was written by Chief Justice ‘ Stacy, which was also signed by Justice ' Adams. In the majority opinion by jus tice Itrogden, it was held that by failing to route the proposed link of highway “past the court house door” in Newton, the Highway Commission had failed to fulfill the spirit of the highway law whic specifically said that the main highways “must con nect county seats and principal towns,” the court holding that the proposed highway, since it merely intersected the city limits, did not •'connect" the county seats, to the extent which the law required. Hence the injunction previously granted by Judge J. L. Webb, lem porurily restraining the Commission from starting work on the section of promised highway in Catawba couu madc permanent. However, the injunction not only halted work on the route from the ty, from the Catawba river, was Catawba river to Newton, hut on the route in Iredell county as well, from Statesville to the Catawba, because if the road was not going to be built in Oatnwbn county to connect with the .Iredell county section of the road, there was no use in building it nt all until the entire new route could be determined. Ami if the court refuses to rehear the case, much delay will result, because an entirely new route will have to be surveyed and laid out by the High way department. It has since been explained by the Highway department that it was in an effort to more fully comply with the State Highway Act that the northern route was selected instead of the southern, not only because -it was shorter by a number of miles, and would cost fully $400,000 less to construct, but because it connected two more "principal towns,” namely Claremont and Catawbn, which at present ure entirely marooned from the course of the southern, and what was former'y believed to be, tem porary route. So in view of the many develop ments in the case, the Highway Commisaion is particularly anxious tjiat .the Supreme Court will grant the re-bearing confident that if it is granted, the previous ruling will be reversed. “Not more thnn ten people in tiie | city of Newton want the road built * according to the southern route, the route approve by the Supreme 1 Court” sold a prominent citizen of 1 Catawba county when in Raleigh the 1 other day, “and no oue outside of ’ Newton in Catawba county wants it - built on that route. But what we ail do want is to have the road built, 1 and aa soon as possible.” 1 And that seems to be the attitude of the majority of citizens of Cataw t’ ba county, aa well as the attitude of * the Highway Commisaion. It wants 1 to build the road as soon as all the * legal obstacle* can be removed- The 14 regular cases on the docket are for the most part if minor im i portance.

Aug. 27.—Gertrude Ederle was given a homecoming ova tion today such ns New York never before has given a woman. Packed throngs that witnessed her triumphant procession up the canyon of lower Brondway were estimated as greater than those that welcom ed returning heroes of the wor d war. It Wars the day of days for the youthful swimmer who was the first of her sex to conquer the English channel, and in n time better than any man had ever achieved. A triumphant parade, brass bands, fluttering flags, showers of confetti and ticket tape and thunderous shouts of applause marked her prog ress up the famous thoroughfare. Tiie crowd that gathered outside the city hall, where Mayor Walker presented her with a scroll com memorating her deed, reached such proportions that 100 extra police were called to prevent serious trou ble. Six women and children were in jured when crushed in the mass of humanity. Fences were broken down under the windows of the city hall and the doors were stormed after they had been closed following the welcoming ceremonies. Later Trudy’s arrival nt 1 her home in upper Amsterdam avenue was the occasion of a jubilant celebration by her neighbors. Ederles turned out to the mfmber of 42, sisters, cousins and annts, not to mention uncles and brothers, ac cording to one of them counting noses on the tugs that bore the bilg reception committee down the river this morning. On the Macom, with the mayor’s committee headed by Grover Whaien, was Mrs. Ederle, with two sisters and two brothers of “Trudy’s” and a dozen or so of the closest of the clan. Mrs. Ederle, tearful and excited, declared herself “tiie proudest mother in the world today.” When the tug drew alongside of the Berengaria just before noon, and the mother hurried across the gang plank to meet her daughter, rhe young queen of the channel declared herself “the happiest girl in the world today, to have mom again.’’ Sirens shrieked on half dozen en c'rding tugs. airplanes hummed qverhead, fireboats played and crowds cheered in as great a display as the baftor has even seen. Trudy for a few minutes after the reunion clung only to her mother. “Gee, it’s good to hace you again, mom. Don’t go.” she cried as with wet eyes, she kissed her mother re peatedly, Together they faced the im patient battery of cameras.

In i the event an answer is filed, a date i will be set for a hearing. i Although, in accordance with the , rules of the court, no public notice , of the protest was given until it had been determined today that Bar- . ringer passed the bar examination. , held Monday, the protest was filed with the clerk of supreme court more than a week ago. A few days after it had been filed Everhardt, following, it is understood, a conference with Barringer, requested that it be with drawn. But the court denied the re quest because of “the nature of the protest.” Everhardt alleged specifically in an affidavit filed with the court that Barringer obtained $465 from (lim by “false and fraudulent misrepresenta tions of facts,” in that he represent ed properly on which he gave a mortgagge to secure the money to be free from encumbrance when in fact there were already two other mortgages on the property, and the sale of it did not yield a sufficient sum to pay them all off. Everhardt gave notice that he had brought suit in Rowan county superior court to recover the amount, and a copy of ' his complaint was filed with his pro test. The transaction of which Ever . hardt complains took place during the latter part of 1024. nccoiding to the copy of the complaint filed with the protest. Barringer, who has long been prominent in labor circles, is now I serving his second term as president of the State Fedeiation of Labor, having been re-elected at the annual convention a few weeks ago.
