"No," Says This Prison Warden,
for Less Than Half Die in
Prison Cells"

Madison, Wis, Nov. 5.-The pris-
oner who enters prison under life
sentence has no reason to leave all
hope behind, according to Warden
Daniel Woodward of the Wisconsin
penitentiary at Waupun. He has
made study Of the subject and finds
that Sc per cent of ''lifers" ultimately
obtain their freedom. He bases his
conclusion on 81 years Of history of
'1ifers" in Wisconsin penitentiary,
which he claims is verified by statis-
tics gathered in other states. This is
the first analytical study of this
kind to be announced.
Here are Warden Woodward's con-
illusions:
Thirty per cent of the 'ifers" are
pardoned after an average service of
nine years.
= Fifteen per cent are released by
the courts; average incarceration
four years.
Six per cent are paroled; average
incarceration 81 years.
Five per cent have their sentences
committed.
Eleven per cent go insane.
Two per cent commit suicide.
Two per cent escape and are never
caught.
TWenty-nine. per cent die Of nat
ural causes in, prison; average incar-
ceration IL years.
(''Of 81 offers" who have been
committed to the Waupun state
prison, the records Of 222 have been
closed. Eghty-nine, including three
women, are still inmates. The oldest
lifer in the prison at the present
time is W NJ of Oconto,,

Barnard's Figures Show Large
Number of College Women
Become Wives.

Graduates of women's colleges, and of
Barnard College In particular. show no
propensity to shun matrimonial bonds,
according to statistics compiled at
Columbia University.
Since the founding of Barnard College
in 1893, 1,113 women have received de-
grees, and of this number a total OF
25S have married. The class of 1918 is
not included in the figures and as the
girl graduates in 1911 and 1912 have
hardly yet had time to pick out the
men they want the statistician puts the
percentage of married women among
Barnard alumni at 23.i. with the C.asS
of 1902 having twenty-five of its forty
nine members married.
The class of 1910 shows that the ten
dency IN the recent alumnac classes is
just as strong toward matrimony as in
the older classes, for already eleven out
of eighty eiSht have married and nu-
merous ENGAGEMENTS are on record.
So far teaching as u profession has
outstripped marriage with total OF
S24 engaged in educational work. This
list includes only nine members of the
class of 1872. 103 of whom reported when
the figures were gathered that they
had not yet decided as to what they
planned to do. II is estimated. how
ever, that seyenty-six Of the 10S have
gone into teaching since that time. SO
that the number Of teachers graduated
from Barnard is 40o,s or Il percentage
of nearly 56
Among the graduates there are

Situation Now Peaceful

Calumet, Mich, Sept. 4-Troops
and deputies line up daily in anticipa-
ton of trouble from the copper mine
strikers who are reported to be pre-
pairing to make a concerted effort to
stop work at the Calumet and Hecla,
where nine shafts are in partial opera
ton Six hundred strikers carrying
flags and led by large number of
women appeared and were joined by
the militia and deputies, who accom-
panied them to prevent possible trou-
BILE. The strikers paraded through the
Calumet and Hecla and Osceola loca-
lions daily but have made no attempt
Ito interfere with workmen. Gen. p.
L. Abbey, with his staff, in an auto
mobile, leads the parade, and follow
ing in order are infantry, cavalry, wo-
men and strikers, signal corps, patrol
and deputies. At the Quincy mine
near Hancock 500 strikers paraded and
stopped at one of the shaft houses,
where the militia ordered them away.
The leader refused and was placed
under arrest. The others marched
away. At the Superior mine detail
OF militia escorting men to work was
pelted with eggs and other missiles
by women. -
Leaders of the miners denied today
that the strikers were breaking ranks.
In response to the statements that
work had been resumed in different
shafts, the leaders declared that these
activities were insignificant.

Erie, Pa, Sept. 4-Serious rioting
was the outcome ON an attempt to.
break UP strike of iron molders in
the several plants which has been
dragging along since December asst:
Nonunion men were brought in, and
this inflamed the strikers and their
sympathizers. The sheriff and the
police had not exhausted all of their
means before they appealed to Gov.
Tener to send the State constabulary
aEd protest was made to him by
the labor leaders against such action,
and according to the understanding
reached, promises were made through
the Governors representative that the
constabulary would not be sent to Erie
until an investigation had been made,
or that conditions become so serious
that such action would be necessary.
Despite the promise of the Governor,
two troops of the State constabulary
were dispatched Immediately to the
city. Not long after they had taken
charge of the situation one of their
number struck a striker over the. head
with the butt of his rifle, injuring him
quite seriously. Previous to the ass
sauit no effort had been made to ar
rest the alleged defender nor had any
resistance been made on the part of
any of the strikers to the orders is
sued by the members of the troopers.
Following this action, the strikers be-
came very much excited, and the re-
suit was a clash between the two, in
which the troopers rode roughly over
the men with their horses. AS a re-
suit of this action, one striker and
sympathizer ar enow in theA hospital
and a score of others were 5more or :
less injured. The streets of the city
were crowded at the time the disturb
ance occurred, and it is fortunate that
nothing more serious resulted, as the
citizens generally are very much in.
censed at the manner in which the
constabulary was hurried TO the scene.
There was serious talk of calling
general strike to assist the MOlders,
announcement to that effect appearing
in the local papers. The matter, how
ever, was seriously debated at spe-
cial meeting of the Central Labor I'm
ion and the leaders of the strike. A
decision. was finally reached at the
urgent request of the representatives
of the Molders that the interest of that
organization would be best served by
not calling a general strike, and it was
finally determined not to do so. The
situation is still critical and probably
will remain SO as long as the CON
constabulary is on the scene, as their
presence in various places of the state
whered ifficuIties have existed hereto
fore has promoted toruble by their
extremely arbitrary and ill-considered
action. The men are more determined
than eve to continue the struggle until
successful results are obtained.
