JACKSON. Mich, September 3.-Rioting
convicts of Jackson prison overcoming all

tered the prison bull pens and liberated

ordered, was shot down by a guard.
shortly after noon today. The prisoner
was running across the yard when told to
stop and refusing he was dropped with a
bullet from the gun in the hand of a
deputy.
When the prisoners reached the yard
they began running everything within
reach and fearing they would set the
factories on fire the city fire department
was summoned.
Hundreds of shopmen and others are
on the streets surrounding the prison and
the special police, hastily summoned. are
having trouble in keeping the crowds
orderly.
Prisoners Have Weapons.
When the bull pens were opened practi-
cally every prisoner secured weapon of
some kind after gaining his liberty.
Knives, hammers, barrel slaves, ETC., were
used by the convicts in an endeavor to
overpower the guards stationed inside the
prison walls.
On seeing the fire department enter the
prison yard many of the rioters fled
back into the prison. while others hid
in the various factory buildings. hoping
to step over the walls when an oppor-
tunity presented itself.
1t is said that during the excitement
three convicts scaled the walls and are
now at liberty. AS fast as the members
of the two local national guard COM
panies were rounded up they were rushed
to the prison in automobiles. All militia

Three Ways Are Open.

No less than three separate and dis

sumed here that because there is more
than one available avenue for British
shipping TO seek relief the British for
eign office has said the notice of an
appeal for arbitration was premature.
President Taft has indicated one method
by which the problem may be attacked
Congress. however. did not think we'll OF
the suggestion. That was to include In
the act a paragraph giving jurisdiction to
American courts to pass upon whether
the act constituted a discrimination
against British shipping in violation OF
the Hay-Pauncefote treaty. This sug-
gestion may yet be adopted at another

May Test Act in Court.

Another means of dealing with the Brit
ish grievance would be to allow any
British shipowners to test under existing
law. before any United States court. his
right to use the canal under the treaty
on terms OF equality with American ship
owners Chairman Adamson of the House
committee on interstate and foreign COM
merce and many senators and other rep
resentatives, have declared that il British
rights have been infringed there was al
ready a remedy in the statutes.
The last avenue OF relief is arbitration,
though many publicists have held that
owing to change of sovereignty over the
Canal Zone and other events developed
since the Hay-Pauncefote treaty Great
Britain has no actual right to demand
arbitration.
AS the canal proper cannot be opened
for "a year and a half there will be ample
time for the British foreign office to elect
which method OF relief shall be employed.

Usual Absence From the Polls.
Many politicians pointed out today that
while the total registration in the state
at each election in the last twenty five
years was close to 10000. it has been
seldom that more than 50 or 60 per cent
of those enrolled to vote have come to
the polls. Some of the small rural towns
during the past few years polled less than
10 per cent of the total vote.
No political apathy was anticipated to-
day. but to guard against it nearly every
voting place was well equipped with cabs
and motor cars TO bring the aged and in
firm to the polls.
Early Voting in Cities.
Voting began in some cities shortly
after am, but in the smaller country
towns the authorities waited until after
chores had been done before starting the
balloting.
The regular Australian voting system
obtains in Vermont, with the customary
officers, check list. marking booths and
registering ballot boxes. Chances for re-
peating were said to be minimized, for
nearly all the ballot clerks knew each
voter personally. A state law provides
for the closing of the polls in the 246
cities and towns at ) pm.
