CONNECTS HEROES
 IN PRISON BLAZE

TrsenTton, Sept 2s.-Two ir1cendiary fires were started in the penitenttary here yesterday afternoon The first one was in the shirt factory. It was extinguished without much difficulty by the prison volunteer hremen, all most all convicts.
 Then came the second fire. Con vfcts who have revo1ted against the labor system are believed to have started the first, and, angry because it had been put out so quickly, went under the administration building, where they kindled a blaze and tore the gas pipe apart
 The convicts were just starting from their shops to the cells when the cry Of fire sounded. Panic followed among ], 1,5oo men and women prisoners. It was with difficulty that the guards could restrain them and prevent 9 concerted attempt to break from the prison.
 jMeantime gas was escaping in great volumes and the fire was gaining -headway. Some one had to turn off the gas in the cellar or 1t was plain an explosion would soon occur John Schuyler, serving 8. life term for a murder in Hunterdon county seven years ago, volunt teered to go into the ! gas and smoke filled cellar, turn off the gas and play a stream Of water on the blaze.
 Permission was given to Schuyler and he went straight to the cellar. He worked a short time and then fell un- conscious Then three other convicts volunteered. They are Robert Bowler, Edward Oswald and Harry Killey. They, too, were overcome. Other pris- oners offered to go, but the officials would not allow them.
 The Bremen came Assistant Chief l William Stackhouse and a dozen of his men fell overcome by gas and smoke After a hard fight the hren1en got the blaze under control and the convicts, including Schuyler and the three others who had been revived, were marched to their cells. Following the fires the closest watch was kept on the prisoners, especially those who are known to have q griev-
 ance The second fire caused 9 dam age of $1, 800.

Germany and Austria The whole az
fair is being shroudsd in deepest mys-
terry and the issues befogged and be-
clouded at every step.
Every possible effort is being made
by every government involved TO keep
their people and the rest OF the world
from getting an inkling of what is
happening in the thearers Of war.
Even the meaEer statements issued
by the French war office. the British
press bureau and the war offices Of
Germany and Russia are so intricate
and ambiguous, so involved and round
about in their wording that they con-
Tey little information.
