EMERGENCY
KILLED IN STATE
Effect Of Initiative, Refer.
endum and Recall
Amendments
LAWS EXTENT OUTLINED
Will Not Apply to Peace,
Health or Safety
Measures

OLYMPIA, Dec. 11.-As the constitu.
tional amendments, including the in.
itiative, referendum, recall and the
time for the taking effect OF laws,
which were submitted to a vote of
the people on November 5, have car.
ried, as shown by the official canvass
emergency laws can no longer be pass
ed by the legislature, and the adoption
of such clauses will be useless except
in certain specific cases.
The new law cannot be applied on
measures needed to preserve the peace
health or public safety, or on appro-
priations for the support Of the gov
ernment. and existing public institu-
tions, but all other laws come within
the law and will hereafter take effect
80 days after the adjournment of the
legislature.
Number Of signers Needed
Under the referendum law no vote
can be had on questions relating to tn
regular appropriations for the main
tenance Of state institutions, but If the
legislature should appropriate money
for new buildings at the state college
and the Cheney normal school, a re-
ferendum vote could be had on the
question.
1t will require about 10000 signers
to petition to secure a referendum
and to initiate a law 1t will require
about $4,000, or 10 per cent of the
total vote cast, which was about '337,-
900.
Circulation Of Petitions
In regard to the matter of signing
the petitions, the question of whether
the petitions will be circulated or
whether those who wish to sign them
must go to a certain place to do so,
is one for the legislature to decide.
There is an objection to the circul-
alton of petitions, because of the fact
that sometimes paid workers bring in
fraudulent signatures. 1t is proposed,
however, to make it a misdemeanor
to hire any one to get signatures,
which, it is thought, will remedy this
evil.

Rawlins, wy, Oct. IA battle
ragged early last night IN Tie state
penitentiary here. Locked inside the
walls were hundreds of mutinous pris
oners, few guards fought desperate
ly to restore order and prevent
wholesale Jail delivery. Camped out
side the walls was a force OF citizens
heavily armed, ready to drive back
the convicts If they murdered the re-
naming guards and made rush
through the gates. Shouts and occas-
ional shots told of desperate fighting
within the walls and it was rumored
that several guards and convicts
were killed.
Another battle was in progress at
the same time in the hills south of
Rawlins between a posse of citizens
and from 20 to 40 escaped prisoners.
Two men we're killed in the streets of
Rawlins, one was desperately wound
ed and TWO conyicts were recaptured
following the escape of from 10 to 80
prisoners yesterday afternoon. The
town is in panic. Frantic kilograms
were sent to Gov. Carey, now at Sher
idan, imploring him to send state
troops to protect the citizens. Towns
people barricaded themselves in their
homes last night, or, heavily armed,
patroled the streets.
The outbreak yesterday was the
second within "a hours. About 3 p.
m. Saturday 20 prisoners escaped and
nine were recaptured before s o'clock
At 2.30 p. m. yesterday party of des
perate lifetermers overpowered the
dollhouse keeper, took his keys and
released their comrades from their
cells. Every prisoner willing to risk
at battle with the guards made a rush
for the gates.
A moment later the citizens of the
town heard fusillade of shots in
side the walls. A bedlam of shouts
and yells echoed from the prison. A
few seconds later more than a dozen
men dashed down the Main street,
armed with guns and knives. Hold
ing the few citizens at bay with re-
volvers, they charged into a livery
barn, holding up the proprietor and
hastily throwing saddles and brides

one game more to clinch the series,
not man of the Giants would admit
last night that he had lost hope. To
the contrary, al were bubbling over
with last ditch" sentimental. John
J. McGraw, the manager of the Giants
counts on his men to show in this
crisis the fighting form they display
ed several times during the league
season, when their rivals for pennant
honors had them forced into corner.
"Once more the team is forced down
to the last stand" said McGraw, land
/ am certain the men will put up a
fight that will make their friends
proud of them"
The arrival hour Of the Red Sox
from Boston last night was a late
one, and neither Managers Stahl
nor McGraw was more communica-
tive than usual regarding the selec-
ton of boxmen for the crucial battle.
Vanguard, however, looked to be the
logical selection ON the New York
side, he having had good rest since
he scored the only victory over Bos-
ton with which his club has been
credited. Probabilities pointed to
Stahl's pitching Collins, his left-hand-
ed star, who made such an excellent
showing in the tie game of Wednes-
day. Stahl would then, it was argu-
ed, be in superior strategical posi-
ton, counting on Collins to turn the
trick and end the series, failing which
outcome, Wood. with an additional
days rest, would still be available to
send back at the Giants tomorrow.
