Worst in States History.

The riot-the most serious in the hts-N
tory of the penitentiary-was due to-
two causes. There was resentment
among some Of the men because they
had to register under the draft law.
Six hundred and fifty are eligible. The
second cause was an order OF Mr..
Bowen that all men should stay In
their own shops during working hours
and that women not related to pris-
oners could not visit the penitentiary.
Anger at the order first made itself
apparent at breakfast. Dishes were
hurled at the guards, tables over
turned, and the convicts surged into
the grounds, shouting and making
threats. They grabbed what missiles
and weapons they could, and obtained
more from the implement house.
They set fire to the rattan shop twice,
the first blaze having proved abortiye.
Other fires followed.
Five persons were wounded in fight

prisoners were shot, but this was de-
MED by the authorities. One convict
was stabbed with a bayonet. Two
prisoners were hurt leaping from Win
dows. Orders were then given to
shoot to kill and an appeal was sent
for more militia. Companies Z andf G
of the First infantry, which were do
ing guard duty near Joliet, were tive
first on the scene. Capt. Hamlet G.

Firemen from Joliet responded to an
alarm, but were opposed by the con-
victs, who threw volleys of bricks at
them, or engaged in personal encoun-
ters.
Chief Royce was knocked down, but
was rescued by his men. The battle
was proceeding briskly when the sol
diers arrived. They were ordered to
hold their fire, and, although outnum-
bered nine to one, they began an or
