Few Prisoners Unac- counted For I11 Quick Check-up. In- vestigation Ordered.

(By Ted Farah Canadinnlrress Stiff’ Writer)

GUELPH, 0nt., Jam. lib-Mildly astonished at the result of a day- long cheek of names and fares, Ontario rcformatory authorities announced tonight only four or five prisoners who escaped durIng Sun- day's riots were still at large. They had believed more than 20 were free until the check was romplet- 2d. Deputy provincial secretary C. F. Neclands raid 22 convicts had either surrendered or been recaptured since the upxisirrg was put down late last night. But so confusing ivas the situation that it was im- possible to determine until tonight what prisoners were missing.

Throughout last night. it was ieamed, police used tear gas bombs

repeatedly when groans in the cells ,

became disorderly. Officers patrol- le‘ the cell blocks and whenever a

number of the prisoners opened vp '

with shouting or tried to tear apart the cell furnishings a bomb was ipened and dropped inside.

Auihories Disturbed

‘Use of tear gas bombs continued today and while the situation was said to be under control tonight, authorities were derribezl as dis- tilrbcd about the problem of coping with possible further disorders. 1t was thought a request for more tear gas bombs might be sent to Provincial Police at Toronto.

Judge James Madden of Nnp- anee is expected here tomorrow to make a preliminary investigation after which a formal inquiry into the mass riots will be conducted under the public inquiries act. Judge Madden presided ever cases arising from the riots at Kingston Penitentiary in 1932.

OTTAWA, Jan. 18 — Western wheat made an early debut in the debates of parliament today as Conservative Leader Bennett char- ged the government with violating the wheat board act by exempting ; the board from the duty of buying ; wheat at a. fixed minimum price.

He referred to the course taken in the present crop year when the fixed price was continued at 8'1 1-2 cents a. bushel but the board de- cllned to buy unless the market price fell below 90 cents. This ac-

thanked him for his assurances of support and co-operation. He said he hoped Mr. Bennett would ac- cept the government's invitation to join the official delegation to the coronation.

Discussing economic rccoveryMr. Bennett said the present govern- ment had not started from “zero? u had Dursued the same policies on great issues as the formcrCon- servative Government and the rc-l covery now in evidence had begun ,| in 1934.

Revenue increase during the current fiscal year had been large- ly due to the increased sales tax and to the tax on incomes earned in 1935.
