KILLS CONVICT FOR RIoTINa.
San Quentin Guard Fires During
Second Outbreak of Inmates.

SAN QUENTIN. Cal, June 1O.-One
convict was killed and four desperately
wounded when the guards at the state
penitentiary fired on a mob of rioting
inmates who started a mutiny in the
dining room.
This was the second demonstration
made by the LOO convicts within forty
eight hours.
The riot was the result Of dissatisfac-
ton over the food served Nineteen
hundred prisoners were sitting down to
dinner yesterday afternoon when go or
300 of the men began a concerted demon
stration. Not content with volcing their
protests with shrieks and cat-calls. the
demonstrants began throwing dishes and
food about. Some made a rush for the
ad dining kitchen and began hurting
heavy pots and pans around the room.
The men were driven out with hose
spouting steam, several of the rioters be.
ing severely burned.
The majority of the men who had TAX
en- no part in the demonstration. made
rush for the three doors. Several rioters
gathered and endeavored to block egress,
their purpose being to keep the men in
the mess hall and prolong the demonstra-
ton.
II was here that III. L. Lynwood. one
OF the leaders of the mut!neers. was shot
down. guards bullet pierced his chest
and he died almost instantly.
The prisoners were quickly marched to
their cells, but the rioters, even after
being locked up. continued their shrieks
of defiance. and kept up their shouting at
intervals until late at night.

Young Widener's collection is remark
abe in view Of its owners age. and rep
resents, in addition to keen appreciation
of books and their value, an ability Of
selection worthy of a reader of great ex-
perience. The disposition of the library
became known when Harry Widener' 8
will was admitted to probate together
with that Of his father. George B. Wide
ner.
His grandfather has decided that while
Harvard's possession Of the library will
be a great tribute to his grandson, the

is expected that the project will be. car

the term Of the President to six years
