SING SING ADOPTS NOVEL METHOD OF
 PRESERVING ORDER
The Self Organization of Prisoners Uses Stripes and Circles on Clothes to Denote
 DisOhedience

Ossining, N. Y. July 19.-Members of the Mutual Welfare league. the self-rule organization of the prisoners at Sing Sing. have adopted novel method of inhicting punishment for attempts to escape or vio- lation of prison rules.
 Suspension from the privileges of the league Is the basis of the punishment. Offenders suspended for five days more will be compelled to wear a yellow circle as large an orange on the breast of their gray shirts. Those suspended for 10 days more must wear not only the yellow circle, but a yellow stripe down the middle of the back. In case of sus- pension for 20 days yellow stripes on the trouser legs must be worn, The heads Of all offenders suspended for 90 days will be shaved and in addition they must wear the yellow stripes.
 Warden Osborne said the idea originated with the prisoners and was based on the feeling that if man offends against the rules he shows "the yellow of his char acter and the same color should show on his uniform. Two prisoners found in- toxicated from drinking mixture of al- cohol and water will be the first to wear the yellow stripes.

Hundred Thousand Men Affected by Concessions-Both Sides Warned to Make Immediate Adjust

Geneva, Switzerland, July 19.-(Via Paris, 2:20 D. m.)-At a meeting held at Essen yesterday, according to advices received at Basil, between the administra- ton of the Krupp Gun works and the rep resentatives of the workmen, the Krupp officials are understood to have granted a portion of the mems demands for in creased pay.
 Directly and indirectly about 100000 men are involved. Minor cases in which ma chinery has been destroyed have been reported
 The military authorities before the meet ing, the Basil advices say, warned both sides that unless an immediate arrange ment was reached drastic measures would be employed.
 The Krupp concessions are understood to have brought about temporary peace, but the workmen still appear to be unsat- isfied and many have left the work. A strike would greatly affect the supply of munitions. and for this reason the mili- tary has adopted rigorous precautions.

The Turks know every inch of the ground and pour a tremendous number of shells into the ravine, which Is dotted for miles Up from the shore with lonely graves marking the last resting place of some soldier buried where he fell.
 "As the correspondent travelled up the ravine 24 hours after the battle there were visible plenty of evidences of the strenuous character of the fighting, scattered bodies half pro- truding from the ground. hastily dug graves, hundreds of broken rifles and scattered equipment and everywhere great fires burning. giving forth sickly stench. for on the fires Turkish dead in hundreds were being burned.
