city by the Italians.
A news agency dispatch from
Vienna says it is reported from Con

has bombarded and occupied Nifty
lene, capital of the island of Lesbos,
in the Grecian archipelago, belonging
to Turkey. Tripoli has been bonn
barded, her forts and other defenses
are in ruins and the Turks have
hoisted the white flag.

Apparently intoxication is coming to

tance only once during the contest.
The closing games of the 1911
American League season have been
played BY virtue OF its victory over
Cleveland, Chicago finished the sea-
son in fourth place. a fraction ahead Of
Boston; Cleveland was third, Boston
fifth, New York sixth, Washington

Ad Wolgast, the champion light

the English champion, will meet in a
ten-round bout in New York October
2S. Announcement of the bout, which
was arranged several days ago, but
called off because of an insufficient
guarantee for Wolgast, was re-made
by George Mcdonald, manager for
Wells.
In the minds of the baseball public
the coming duel between the Giants
and the Athletics for the worlds S
championship has narrowed down to
a question of pitchers. This is the
opinion of Connie Mack, and McGraw
has agreed with him. Some have ar
gued that hitting will settle the cham
pionship, but that is practically the
same thing, as the hitting will depen j
entirely upon the strength or the
weakness of the pitching.

Women After Penitentiary Warden.


Denver.-The State Federation of
Womans Clubs, by accepting and ap-
proving the report of the committee
on state institutions. stands in the po-
sition of making these charges against
Warden T. j. lyman, of the state peni-
tentiary:
That prisoners are not taught
trades as provided by the law.
THAT paroled prisoners are fire.
quently sent away from the peniten-
tiary without being given the money,
clothes and transportation to which
they are entitled by law.
THAT the prison is under political
domination, and that the warden is
independent of the board of commits
sioners."
Warden lyman makes this flat an
swer:
THE report is unfair and untrue in
every particular, and l challenge the
committee to substantiate a single
one of the charges. The arts and
crafts, the trades, farming, poultry
raising, poultry incubation, scientific
hog, cattle and mule raising, are being
taught to the men in the penitentiary.
Btsides this, we have taught and are
teaching scientific cement and brick
work, and all of the building trades,
and in our schools 165 convicts are
being instructed in everything from
the alphabet to civil engineering"

are coordinate concerns, with having
gathered in 154 acres in Las Animas
