Riotous Prisoners.

Jackson, Mich, Sept 4.-Breaking
out of the bull pen where they were
confined because of the riots Mon
day, fifty convicts at Jackson pris-
on today destroyed hundreds of dol
lars worth of property in the prison
factory and kitchen. They demolished
furniture and machinery.
One prisoner was shot in the arm
by guard. The disturbance was
finally quelled, Warden Simpson had
enlisted the state militia and a de-
tail of soldiers is now patrolling the
prison grounds. The fire alarm was
turned in shortly after the prisoners
broke out from theb ull pen and the
arrival of the fire department added
to the confusion.
The prisoners remaining in the cells
resumed their screeching and pound
ing which has kept residents III the
vicinity awake for four nights.

SEVEN MACHINE GUNS
Bishop p. ]. Donohuc, of the Diocese
of Wheeling, Member of the Com
mission.

Charleston, w. Va, Sept. 4.-Re-
freshed by sound sleep and dream-the
first they had experienced since last
April-5,000 miners and thousands of
women and children awoke today be-
lieving that the day of the mine guards
in West Virginia is over. They had
retired last night confident that they
would not be kicked from their cots
by the guards. Through the night
they slept under the protection of
martial law, proclaimed yesterday, for
the first time in the history of West
Virginia.
At Paint Creek Junction, the head
quarters of the district under mar
tial law, seven machine guns and l.
500 rifles were confscated from the
mine operations, the rifles had been
taken from the guards and miners
alike.
1t was the first time that West Vir-
ginia had asserted it's authority to the
extent of dealing out equal treatment
to the miner, operator and guard.
Heretofore the miners have not been
considered on the same terms.
Governor Glasscock's commission
went to Paint Creek Junction today
to begin taking testimony. The Gov
ernor asked the commission to probe
every phase of the mine situation in
the Kanawha coal field, including the
alleged brutalities on the part Of pri-
vate mine guards and the wage ques-
ton.
The commission is composed OF
Bishop P. J. Donohue of the Catholic
Diocese of Wheeling; S. L. Walker
of Fayetteville, lawyer and militia
captain; Fred o. Blue, of Charleston
State Tax Commissioner.

Progresses Sweep California.

San Francisco, Calf, Sept. 4.-Vir-
tually complete returns today from
the primaries held yesterday show
that the progressives swept the state.
They have carried a majority of the
legislature districts, thus giving con-
troll of the organization to the Roose-
velt faction. In the congressional
contests, the Taft faction possibly
split even, the districts being about
evenly divided between Taft and
Progressive candidates.
The result: of the election makes it
certain that the names of the Roose-
Welt electors will go on the regular
presidential ticket.
San Francisco, Calf, Sept. A.
Whether the Taft or Roosevelt FAC
tions will have control of the Repuo'
lican organization in California was
in doubt early today, following the
primaries held yesterday. lncom-
plete returns indicate that Taft con-
gressional nominees have carried
the Third, Fourth, Sixth, Seventh
and Eighth districts. Roosevelt can
didates won in the Second, Filth
Ninth and Tenth districts. The t1rs'
and Eleventh are in doubt.
At Progressive Headquarters, i
r
was claimed that their candidates to1
the state senate and assembly had
swept the southern part Of the state
Control of the Senate and Assembly
will settle the question of control Of
the state organization.

Denver, Col, Sept 4.-Miss Mar
garet Haines, niece of Archie NJ. Ste
venson, famous in politics as Big
Steve" of Colorado attempted suicide
at the Stevenson home yesterday by
drinking an ounce of carbolic acid
Physicians pronounced the young wo-
mans condition critical.
Miss Haines was able to talk but
refused to give any reason for her act
Stevenson and his wife declared they
we're unable to account for the at
tempted suicide, but it is believed
love affair was the cause. She Wis
tied one of the gardens with a young
man last night and while doctors
worked with her after she had taken
the poison Miss Haines constantly
cried for "Bert." Who Bert is was
not divulged.
Miss Hanes fought the persons who

mated Roosevelt from the Presidential

sire to defeat Wilson will have to vote

OLLIE JAMES'S
PREDICTION
Says Wilson Will Carry Ev-
cry State in The
Union.
RESULT IN VERMONT.
Kentuckian Greatly Pleased With
Returns = Optimistic Concerning
Maine.

Washington, Sept. 4.-'The result
of the election in Vermont indicates
that Governor wilson will carry pref
ty nearly every State in the Union,
said Senator-elect Ollie James, of
Kentucky, permanent chairman OF the
Baltimore convention, commenting to-
day on the returns from the Green
Mountain State.
'I am pleased at the result. but not
surprised he continued. "1t was
shown conclusively that the Democrat
ic party in the coming election for
President will not only hold its own
vote but get the accessions OF some
Progressive Republicans Also it was
just as conclusively demonstrated that
the Roosevelt vote is to come entirely
from the regular Republicans and
practically none from the Democrats
The Republican vote is to be divided
between Taft and Roosevelt while the
Democrats are to get all their own
and some Progressives besides.
"If the same ratio of distribution
continues Governor Wilson will have a
plurality in my own state of Ken
lucky of about 100000, the largest
that Kentucky ever gave to a Demo
cratic candidate for President"
James said he looked for even more
favorable Democratic Geturns from
the State of Maine next week.
Indianapolis, Ind, Sept .4.-Ihe re-
suit of the State election in Vermont
means victory for Colonel Roosevelt
this fall, said Albert j. Beveridge, Pro
gressive candidate for governor of In
diana today. "The news is glorious,
We did not think it possible" declar-
ed the former senator. at is wonder
full. This means the outcome OF the
campaign of 1912 sure. If Vermont
does this in September after only
two weeks of fighting, everybody can

Vermont. gave Allen Fletcher, Re-
publican candidate for governor, 26,-
200; Harlan P Howe, Democrat, 90,
100; and Rev. F. Frances Metzger,
Progressive, 15,700 Because no cam

'ber Progressives today were PLAIN
ly jubiliant over the 10000 vote which

in Vermont, the World edtorially to-
day said:

thing, it means a Wilson landslide in
November"
The Times:
"For the Democrats the figures JUS
tify not merely the hope but the firm
belief and full confidence that Cover
nor Wilson will be elected PresiH
dent in November"
The American: "Vermont's vote in
dicates that the Democratic party IS
holding its full vote but gaining none
from either Republican faction"
The Herald: "The significant fca-
ture of the figures is that the Demo-
Gratis in the face Of the Bull Moose
campaign, and with an increased to-
tai vote of 5000 cast, have made

Another heavy v0lley was fired at
Socialism yesterday by the Roman
CATHOLIC Church, when Cardinal Glib
bons gave out a statement in Baltl-
more, voicing strong opposition to
government ownership and public util-
tiles. The fight up until yesterday
had been directed primarily against
ultra socialism, such as communism
and anarchy, but the statement of the
Cardinal turns the fire on socialism in
general. Cardinal Gibbons declares
that government ownership of utilities
would eliminate competition, and
would thus bring about a government
al monopoly more obnoxious than
the socialists now regard the alleged
control of the trusts. He says that
the trusts are necessary institutions,
and that it would be disastrous to de-
stroy them. He favors governmental
supervision of the utilities, but is OF
the opinion that ownership would
prove fatal.
