MUTINY AT THE CONVICT FARM.
One Negro Shot by Guards-Another
Gets Away.

Gets Away.
What APPEARS to have been well-or-
ganized mufpy broke out on the State
farm yesterday afternoon. but was
promptly suppressed.
Guards Quarles. Hudgens. and Tucker.
were detailed to weed the tobacco plant
bed, which Is on the south side OF the
river on ground which Is leased from
Mr.. Daniel Tucker for the cultivation
OF corn and tobacco. All through the
morning the gang had worked with
alacrity, and their demeanor did not In
any way arouse suspicion.
ATTACK UPON THE GUARD.
During the dinner hour the men were
allowed the usual license. and conversed
freely. Immediately after the midday
meal Riddick Christmas, a burly negro,
approached Guard Hudgens ostensibly to
ask favor, but when he came close to
him he spit large quantity OF tobacco
Juice in his face. at the same time seizing
the rife which the guard carried, and
attempted to wrest II from him. A des-
perate struggle ensued, which was, how
ever, ended by a shot from Guard
Quarles. which penetrated the ne
TO relinauish his grasp. A second shot
from the same rifle went clean through
Christmas's ankle, and Guard Hudgens,
who had by this time wiped the tobacco
Juice out OF his eyes. shot and wounded
the convict In the left buttock.
AS soon as Christmas made his assault
on the guard several OF the gang broke
for freedom. but the sound OF the first
shot acted like magic. and brought them
all to a standstill save one, James Mall
lory, who made good his escape, under
cover Of the prevailing excitement.
The wounded man was carried 10 the
hospital connected with the state farm,
where the bullets were probed for, but
none were located. The shot in the ankle
appears to have passed clear through the
Joint. The guards were armed with
Winchester repeating rifles. loaded with
buckshot. The weapons had been tested
at a distance Of eighty yards. and the
shot had passed through half-inch boards.
They will repeat six times.
MUTINY CAREFULLY PLANNED.
Superintendent Lynn praises very high-
ly the coolness and bravery OF the guards
who succeeded in holding all the gang
except Mallory, and returning them sale-
lv TO the farm. He Is of the opinion tnat
the mutlny had been carefully planned TO
take place after dinner, when the river
was high and all other conditions favor
able for successful breakaway. Ihe Su-
perintendent says he has frequently tried
70 in,press on his guards the absolute
necessity of shooting when prisoner
attempts to escape. Very few such on-
iect lessons. he thinks, would ehectuaiy
break up these attempts, which nave
grown somewhat frequent OF late;
reward OF SO has been offered Tor NAL
lory. -.

GRAVEYARD OF EUROPEANS.
Almost Incredible Mortality of Batavia, on
the Island of Java.


Eliza Ruhamah Scidinore, author Of
"Jinrikisha Days" contributes to the Au-
gust issue of The Century, which is IA travel
number, an article on Down to Java"
The writer says:
No Europeans live at Tandjon Prick or
in the old city of Batavia, which, from the
frightful mortality during two centuries,
was known as 1.-THE graveyard of Euro
peans. y The banks and business houses,
the Chinese and Arab quarters, are in the
"old town." but Europeans desert that
quarter before shutdown and betake them
selves to the new town" suburbs, where
every house is in park of its own, and
the avenues are broad and straight, and
all the distances are magnificent. The
city of Batavia literally fair meadows"
grandiloquently "the queen of the east"
and without exaggeration 1.-THE gridiron of
the east, dates from 1921, when the Dutch
removed from Bantam, where quarrels be-
tween Portuguese, Javanese and the East
India company had been disturbing to
trade for 10 years, and built Fort Jacatra
at the mouth of a river off which cluster
of islands sheltered a fine harbor.
Its position in the midst of swamps was
| unhealthy, and the mortality was so ap.
| palling as to seem incredible. Dutch rec.
! in the government hospital between 17l4
| and 1776 and that moro than 200, 900
died within the city walls between 1880
and 1862 the place at no time claiming
| over Al, 900 inhabitants all told. The peo-
pie were long in learning that those who
went away to the higher suburbs to sleep
and who built houses of the most open
construction, to admit of the fullest sweep
of air, were free from the fever of the
walled town surrounded by swamps, cut
by stagnant canals and facing a harbor
the mud banks of which were exposed at
low tide. The city walls were destroyed
In this century, the quaint old alright
Dutch buildings were torn down, and
streets were widened and there is now u
great outspread town of red rooted, white
washed houses, with no special features OF
picturesqueness to make its street scenes
either dstinctively Dutch or tropical Mod
ern Batavia has 100, 600 inhabitants, less
than tenth of whom are Europeans
While the last century stadhuis might have
been brought from Holland entire, a steam
tramway starts from its door and thence
shrieks its way to the farthest suburb, the
telephone helloes from center to suburb
and modern inventions make tropical liv
ing possible.
