maintain order. In the dining
hall dishes and tables were upset.
Every available policeman In Co
lumbus was summoned for duty
both within the prison and on the
outside. A sub-machine gun in the
guard room protected the entrance
to the prison yard.
Two companies of regular army
troops and 1,500 Ohio national
guardsmen were stationed at
strategic places about the peniten
tiary. Every guard on both day and
night shifts was on duty.
Refuse to Obey Orders.
Still the thousands of milling
prisoners In the yard refused to be
quieted. When they were ordered to
assemble In the dining room many
refused. Later they were ordered
into the remaining cell blocks and
dormitories but they Insisted upon
staying In the yard, crowding about
the bodies which were arranged In
long rows five 4nd six deep.
Except for minor disturbances
there was no trouble, however.
About five hours after the fire
was brought under control the
ranks of scantily clad convicts be
gan to thin out and at midnight
only a few of them were left In the
yard.
Beacon lights and arc lamps,
placed upon the main wall for
protection played down on the
ghastly scene. Blowly the work of
removing bodies to the fairgrounds
proceeded. Far into the early morn
ing hours the official Investigation
went forward in the private resi
dence of Warden Thomas.
Terror Reigns.
Scenes of confusion and terror
accompanied the outburst of the
flames. They started in the north
wee tcorner of a new building of
cell blocks, part of which still whs
under construction. It was in tills
new part that the fire originated,
not more than hal fan hour after
a gang of prisoners working on the
Job returned to their cells.
Apparently the flames broke" out
i nseveral places, simultaneously.

Silver Springs, Md.—Encompassed
by a peace and serenity denied her
in the long years she has been fight
ing for labor causes, “Mother’
Jones will celebrate her 100th birth
day on May 1
A frail shell, her once fierce eyes
faded to mild blue, "Mother" Jone's
voice Is still miraculously strong
and vibrant.
As she lies among her pillows at
the country home of Mr. and Mrs
Walter Burgess near Silver. 8prlngs
Md., that amazing voice leaps out,
eloquent and cutting, to lash what
she terms the “foes” of labor. .
The word “tyrants” still comes
with force from a mouth tired and
sunken from almost eighty yeai-6 of
fighting on the platform and In the
field.
• Mother” Jones is not sick. She's
Just “wearing out” according to
medical explanation. She has but
one wlsti now, to live until her 100th
birthday.
Celebrations are to be held by the.
American Federation of labor in a
number of leading citlei In honoi
of it, and though she cannot attend
any of them she expects to send a
message by radio to her fellow-labor
ers all over the country.
Bands will play, noted men and
women will come to see her. And
“Mother" Jones has warned Mrs
Burgess that they must be sure to
have “plenty to eat.”
