FIFTY men
Will HELP
OFFICERS

Fifty prominent business men Of
Greeley are banded together in Il
secret committee to rid the city of
undesirables.
They comprise vigilance COM
mittee that will aid the police in
ferreting out the undesirable resi-
dents who are known to the police,
but who take advantage Of the small
force to repeatedly break the city
laws.
The campaign against the un-
desirables will start at once and will
he kept up until the city is rid OF
boOtleggers and their idle and vicious
followers.
? This is the announcement made
this morning by Chief of Police
Camp, wlsO has been quietly organ
| izing the committee for several days
When the announcement was first
! made 1t was regarded by soNne a.
Joke. but developments indicate tina
the organization will prove thu
grin,est Joke of its kind ever sI'rllna
here. II followed the report of the
police department that there weis
not Officers enough to cope with thu
toOtlegging situation. which apVar-
entity tlrives in spite of every effort
to eliminate the iIle"nl sale Of the
liquor in the city limits.
The reward offered for evidence
to convict caused the boOtleggers to
band together to ''get" anyone who
should turn infOrmer or furnish evil
dcnce in court against them. One
man, 1t is said. feared for his life
and has left Greeley for good. Others
WHO have information are afraid to
divulge it. Drastic measures were
needed and patriotic citizens have
come to the front in n campaign
, that will be final.

DRAW PLATFORMS SEPT. IL
Republicans and Democrats Required
by Law to Meet on Same Date
income Law Puzzles Democrats.

Madison.-The platform conven-
tions of both the democratic and re-
publican parties, at which the plat
the two tickets will seek election in
November are to be drafted, will be
held in Madison on Sept. II. The
date and place of holding the con-
ventions are fixed by law, the statute
calling for meeting of all nominees
the same month in which the pri-
mary election is held.
Interest will center chiefly about
the drafting of the democratic plat
form In view of the nomination of
Judge J. c. Karel for governor and
Harry W. Bolens for lieutenant-gov-
ernor, both ardent critics of the pres
ent income tax lay, it is probable
that the income tax plank adopted at
the democratic state convention will
be withdrawn and substitute plank,
pledging the repeal of the present
law, offered.
Supporters of the measure in the
democratic ranks, however, contend
that Judge Karel and Mr.. Bolens will
have a fight on their hands if they
insist on absolute abolition of the
state income tax. They contend that
many of the assembly and state sena-
torial candidates who favor the law
will insist on the insertion of some
provision calling for a referendum
vote on the matter
The candidates on the republican
ticket are in accord with the present
state administration, and little trou-
BILE is expected in the drafting of the
platform. Interest in this convention
will center chiefly about the attitude
toward the national republican
ticket.

STATE MILITIA QUELLS
RIOT AMONG CONVICTS
Prison at jackson, Mich, is Scene Of
Wild Acts-one Prisoner
Is Shot.

jackson, Mich, Sept. 5.-Riot at
the prison, brewing since Friday,
reached climax when prisoners con-
signed to the bull pen escaped from a
dungeon and proceeded to demolish
prison property. They made wild
dash to the dining room, driving the
TRUSTEES from there and the kitchen,
and grabbed handsfull of food.
Warden Simpson, fearing they
would fire the institution, called out
the fire department, and Captain
Mackman of Company L, M. N. G.,
with recruits. Extra guards were
placed around the prison and on the
walls, with orders to shoot any con-
Wet showing resistance or trying to
escape. The men hid behind an old
engine house and when one, Peter
Matool, ventured out to reconnoiter,
he was shot by guards from the
guard room, the shot hitting him in
the arm, but not seriously wounding
him.
When the militia appeared and be-
gan work all but IA of the most des-
perate of the 62 men escaping prompt
ly held up their hands and, like
whipped ours, were taken back to
their cells. AS more militia arrived
on the scene they were divided into
squads and thorough search made,
with the result that all were found in
various places in the yards and
placed in cells.
