shriekng like maniacs, and rafting and

The guards were doubled and each carried
a shotgun loaded with buckshot. Two men
who were released, their terms having ex-
pired. have told what the desperate con-
victs are planning. According to this story
It has been agreed among the ringleaders
that when they are permitted to return to
work in the jute mill they will make a sud-
den rush. kill Engineer Young, IL neces-
sary. overpower the guards and wreck the
magnificent plant on which nearly 81, 900, 900

There are 1.3O4 prisoners within the
walls at San Quentin. Over half Of them

the men are trivial Director wilkins de-
clares they have no real grievance. Prison
Surgeon Lawler says the opium fiends. who
have been deprived of the drug, are at the

in the name of decency. honesty, justice
and the American principle of local self
government, to defeat those measures. The
resolutions provide for the appointment of
comrhttee of one hundred to visit SPRING
field this week and wage war on these
measures The chairman, Il. b. Bryan.
VIII appoint the committee today
Alderman Harland, the late candidate
Ior mayor on the independent republican
ticket, made the principal speech. Mr..
Harland called some of the officers. of the
gas and street railroads by name and
charged them with the guilt of bribery at
Sprinfield. The speaker said that a profess
sioEai leading citizen was an anarchist
at heart. because he knew no law above
his own will. When the peoples hatred of
dishonest wealth, he said, becomes a
hatred Of all wealth. the safety of society
and the republic will be at stake. He beg
ged the honest rich to join in the contest'
against the despoilers.

de Wecherlin, minister for the Netherlands:
Mr. Du Bose Of the Spanish legation; Mr.
Rautkowsky Of the Russian legation, and
DR.. Vogel OF the Swiss legation.
In addition to keeping scores OF the
games, these gentlemen act for the English
players in making their moves on the board
as fast al they are received and In starting
the clocks Of the local players when 1t is
the latter's turn to move.
The time limit adopted Is fifteen moves
to the hour. In other words. each player
has one hour Of his clock within which to
make fifteen moves. or an average of four
minutes to the moves. Allowing for de-
lays. should each player consume the full
amount of time allowed, there will not be
over about six moves made by both players
every hour. at which rate about thirty
moves would be made in each game today.
It is probable, however. that none OF the
players will consume the full amount Of his
time, especially In the first hour.
The Time Limit.
The time Is allowed to accumulate. how
ever. and what is gained in making the
first fifteen moves can be used i'm the neyt
fifteen. and SO on to the end Of the match.
Should player at any time in the match
exceed the time limit he forfeits the game.
The time limit is slower than that usually
adopted. In the late cable matches the
time limit was twenty moves to the hour,
which Is the time limit In tournaments and
matches at the Washington Chess Club.

senting the resolution, that the House had
performed Its duty last March by prov1d-
ing for this matter in the deficiency ap-
preparation bill, which was passed. The
Senate, instead of passing the bill, had
lifted out this item and made a separate
resolution of 1t.
Mr.. Cannon refrained. he said, from COM
menring upon the fact OF the Senate origi-
mating appropriations, a function which de-
wolves upon the House. and In the face Of
the emergency presented. which was that
the government printing office could not be
conducted without the money this resolu-
ton provided, he would ask its passage.
1t is not expected that the government
printing Office will be compelled to close
