RlOTINGAT SING SING PRISON
One of Convicts Told Clancy That
Fellow Prisoner Started Fire Out
of pure DevilishneSs."

UsslnIng. y. Y-Following a fire in
! Sing Sing prison. the old structure IN
which many New York state prisoners
are now confined. serious rioting and
! mutiny occurred among the convlcts
! prior to the removal of the leaders of
| the disturbances to Auburn prison. a
new state institution The total dam
age caused by two fires, one of which
beyond doubt was of incendiary origin.
| amounts to 100000.
The trouble at the prison followed
close after the appointment Of John ~
Clancy as warden to succeed EDWARD
en- Kennedy, who has been indicted
since his removal from office. The
new warden, however, was quick to
act, and the trouble was soon quelled.
although several hundred convicts
were confined in their cells for several
days and kept on a diet of bread and
water
Efforts were made during an invest1-
CATION which followed to ascertain the
names of the convicts who were re-
sponsible for starting the fire in the
prison. Several of the cOnvicts were
called in as witnesses. One of the men
stated that he heard that the fire was
started out Of pure devilishness" by
one of the prisoners.
1t was learned that cocaine has come
into the prison in considerable quaint
ties in the sheets purchased for their
cots by the convicts. These sheets
are soaked in cocaine, and so are the
leaves of books brought in to the
prisoners. The prisoners suck the
sheets or the leaves of the books to
get the drug Since the fire, it was
said, much cocaine had come into the
prison in spite Of the vigilance of the
warden and keepers. 1t was said that
this had been responsible for much of
the trouble.
1t was learned also that the leaders
of the disturbance were locked up in
the so called coolers" There are
ten of these coolers. and they were
all full. They are outside Of the cell
block. on level with the Hudson
river. and are dark, damp cells seven
feet long. six feet seven inches in
height and three feet three inches
wide. They have two doors, the first
of wire and the outside one of wood.
Ia the doors there are two little holes
for ventilation. but they do not admit
any light. These coolers figured in
the presentments returned by the
grand jury last June, and in view Of
this some surprise was expressed that
Warden Clancy had made use Of them.

WHEAT OUTLOOK PROMISING,
Yield Probably Will Be Greater Than
Big Harvest of 1912.

Prosperity is indicated by the wheat
crop prospect. The present outlook for
the total yield Of spring and winter
grain is that the nation will produce
as much as it did last year, when the
aggregate was estimated at 730,O00.0OO
bushels.
Winter wheat. according to the latest
government report, indicates a total
of 4S3, 100000 bushels compared with
4OO.O0O00O bushels last year. Iowa is
sending fattering reports Of the win
ter wheat yield Thrashing machine re-
turns in many instances are from forty
to fifty bushels an acre. The average
yield for that state, it is now estimated
by the state weekly crop bulletin. is
about thirty bushels an acre.
Compilations on the government re-
port issued some time ago show that
the spring wheat yield probably will
be 24S,OOO.OOO bushels instead of 49,
100000 bushels. as was suggested i'm
mediately after the report became pub
lie. If these later estimates be correct
the total production of wheat in the
country will be slightly more than that
of 1912. or approximately 731,0O0.OOO

MAYOR FAVORS MARTIAL LAW
BECAUSE OF RIOTS NEWSPAPERS
SUPPRESSED IN SEATTLE.
Disorder of Sailors Was Directed at
the Industrial Workers of World.
Much Damage Wrought.

Seattle. Wasn-rolIowIng noting and
disorder by sailors from the Pacific re-
serve feet Mayor George F. Cotterill
issued an order suppressing the Seat
tie Times. a newspaper. unless proofs
Of all its contents should be first sub
mitted to him. The newspaper secured
an injunction against the mayor and
gained a decision in Spurt, and no edi-
ton of the paper was held up. The
mayor took the ground that the Times
in a "garbled account" Of the address
Of Secretary Daniels of the navy de-
partment with reference to driving out
the apostles Of the red flag had melted
the sailors to disorder
The disorder followed a strike led by
the Industrial Workers of the World.
Mayor Cotterill also issued an order
closing the saloons, saying the police
had received information that another
attack on the Industrial Workers had
been planned by soldiers on leave from
army posts about the city. He said
he was determined to keep the saloons
closed until after the POtlatch festival
crowd had dispersed.
The judge, however, also set aside
this order of the mayor, and the drink
ing places were literally patronized.
Still another order by the mayor
directed that all street meetings be
stopped This none the less did not
prevent a big crowd gathering when
some fifty soldiers assembled on First
avenue The soldiers predicted further
trouble, but were themselves careful
not to start any demonstration.
The damage done by sailors will not
exceed $4,000. In their excitement the
sailors demolished a Salvation Army
meeting room, having been told it was
the quarters of a branch of the Indus
trial Workers. BY the light Of matches
the sailors began to break chairs and
benches. One stout sailor hurled an
organ off the platform and then, seiz-
ing a heavy chair, proceeded to demol-
ish the organ.
Suddenly one of the men, tearing
down motto, God Is Love" from the
wall, started back and said, Boys, !
we're all wrong" Some of the sailors
shouted to their comrades to stop the
smashing, and word was passed that
the place was a Salvation Army meet |
ing room Most Of the men thereat
left the place.
Mayor Cotterill's action in assuming
full control of the city was much like
a declaration of martial law. He pre-
ceded his stringent orders by procla-
nation.

UNSUITABLE SHIP MODELLED
Water Tight Betting Is Claimed to
Be the Secret of Crafts Remark
BuOyanCy.

/
! RemarKaDle experiments with the
model of an unsuitable ship are de-
scribed in a letter TO the London
Times by John Rees, harbor superin-
tendent at Llanelly. Wales. The mod
ell, four feet in length. nine inches
wide and scaled to represent a steam
boat 40 feet long and y wide, draw
ing p feet. was loaded through five
hatchways with copper ore down to
the Plimsoll mark and Mr. Rees was
invited to do what he liked with it
He tilted the vessel sidewise until
water filled the whole interior to the
deck level: then he let go. She imme
diately righted herself and floated east
ly and buoyantly, with the deck just
above the water level.
Mr.. Rees pressed her well down IN
der the water and then let go. She
Immediately bobbed up to the sur
face and fioated exactly as before.
With her whole cargo shifted and still
full of water. she had a correspond
ing list, but still three-quarters of her
deck was well out Of water.
This floating power is obtained by
such a plan of construction as to al
low water tight betting being built
outward and downward from the deck
level. 1t is absorbed in the ships
form, does not extend to the water
level and. following the lines of the
ship is roughly triangular in section.
There is thus apparently no interfer
ence with speed. so far as water con-
tact with the hull is concerned, nor
does it interfere with cargo carrying,
for the vessel to all intents and pur-
poses is an ordinary sized and shaped
one.
The inside betting being divided into
water tight compartments, If any pOr-
ton of it is injured owing to collision
there is only a loss of floating power
to the section crushed in
and rendered useless.
The inventor has been working on
his idea for twenty years He says
that the added cost Of construction to
embody his idea is about per cent

WOMAN ALWAYS INTERIOR

Ever Great Musician.
! Woman has been an inferior crea-
ture ever since the human race was
developed. and she must always re-
main so. The presence of large num-
bers of women in occupations hitherto
monopolized by man is unnatural and
indicates racial decline or at least
racial stagnation. This is an unpro-
gressive age, and on this ground alone
can be explained the relative success
of woman in competition with man"
That is the opinion just voiced by
Professor Frederick Starr, who holds
the chair of anthropology in the uni
versity of Chicago
Continuing, the educator said
1.-THE race is at a standstill We are
not making progress in really impor'
tant fields. We are inventing automo-
biles and aeroplanes, 1t is true, and
are worshipers of machinery and sys-
TEN.
"But that does not count for the
true advancement of civilization. Man
is stagnant. The male has dropped
out of the struggle and until he enters
II again we shall make no serious ad-
vance.
Unequal by Nature.
Woman by nature is unequal to
man in the development of those quail
ties which make for human progress
She never has distinguished herself by
important discoveries in any line OF
science.
LAS compared with man there never
was a great woman painter, sculptor,
musician, architect or scientist She
has never invented anything Of benefit
to the race.
1.-THE elements Of sex superiority
were fixed back in the vegetable king
dom, and she cannot overcome them.
She is conspicuous in affairs now only
because she is playing an inevitable
part in a great race experiment in
which the activities of man have been
temporarily abridged
LAS soon as man resumes his nor
NAL stride woman will drop back i'm
mediately to the natural position of in
feriority which the female has held
through all the centuries that life has
existed in the earth"
Evolution Slow But Sure.
DR.. Cornelia B. Debey, a noted wo'
man physician. upon being told of the
professors sentiments said:
"In a general way he is correct, but
in one great particular he is wrong.
Woman is evolving slowly and when
she is of full stature she will be ready
for larger action
Man to date has had abundant evil
dence of his own superiority, but the
great issues of life. the human issues
the problems of existence and ADJUST
ment, the spiritual problems-will be
solved by woman. The male still be-
longs to the crust of things.
1.-THE great. large eternal womanly,'
as Goethe calls 1t, is the human species
that will solve the great differences of
humanity. The very slowness of wom-
ans evolution gives promise of larger
fuIfllments This gentleman has mis-
read the scientific evidence. He has
taken the superficial and left the pro-
found.
after all, the woman is the mother
of the babe, and a baby is a greater
poem than Shakespeare ever wrote. a
greater creative evidence than man
ever demonstrated"
