JACKSON, Mich, Sept. 5.-The siS-
day rebellion in the Michigan Peni-

and 200 volunteer guards to enforcs
the warden's order.
A list of fifty leading disturbers IS
being prepared. and under the au- 4
thority given Warden Simpson Tues
day by the State Board of Control the
convicts will be f1ogged, put in soils
tary confinement and fed on bread
and water. Instead of a whipping
post the "slap-barrel'' plan of fog
ging will be utilized. This system is
to strip the convict, lay him across
the barrel with the face down, and
cover him with wet sheet. A water
soaked strap is then applied to his
back with a stinging torture.
From an administrative point OF
view this is preferred to the whips
ping-post, as the fish of the victim: Is
not so mussed up The State law pro-
vides that convicts for a certain
maximum amount of labor may be !
paid as high as fifteen cents a day.

factory wanted fifteen cents day.

been established for the remainder OF .
the calendar year, and that no change
in the so-called overtime money
would be made.

There are 775 convicts The muti-
neers, some 600, assert they are en-
titled to the is cents day under
the law and point to the amount OF
labor done. They have complained !.
that the management is more anxiousS
for a record for economy than their
welfare.
Two years ago sixteen sicks OF
dynamite, two bottles of nitroglyce-
rine and several small firearms were
found among the prisoners here. For

ly. His successor did not stay long.

disclosures the deputy warden re-
signed.

FOR BIG ENGLISH CONTRACT

Council has agreed by an oerwhvelm.
ing majority to place large contract
for steel rails with an American firm
instead of a Sheffield firm.
Ono councillor said the American

that from Sheffield, the American

livery was quicker.

turers to equip their works on Amer.

lish workmen were idle. while the
council was sending work to America.

ITO be sure we smoked" said Mrs.
Richard Mond. wife of one of Ger
many's eminent physicians, today.
Smoking by women In Germany Is SO
common under such circumstances that
we think nothing of It. am rather
sorry we ran counter to American Gus

does not strike us as unbecoming."

entertain foreign women and then criti-
else their customs" said Miss Jane Ad.
dams today. "The women who smoked
at the banquet did 80 without any con-
seriousness Of breaking any custom.

sclousness of her act"
