CHINESE PRISONERS
 DASH FOR LIBERTY

PEKING, Oct. 3.-A murderous at tack upon Wang Yuan-cheng, the su- perintendent of the model prison in Pekin, hos brought to the attention Of the general public an institution which is worthy of imitation in many coun- tries supposed to be far superior to China in the management of peniten- tiaries.
 Wang Yuan-cheng, the founder and superintendent of the prison, and a number of guards were attacked re- gently by a group cf twelve prisoners who were inspired to revolt after the restoration of the monarchy. He was stabbed in the head and abdomen with bayonets and dangerously but not fatally wounded. Ten convicts escaped.
 Although Mr. Wang Yuan-cheng narrowly missed death through adher- ing to humane methods, he still be- lieves in the system adopted in the prison and will not alter it.
 Six years ago MT. Wang was com- missioned by Yuan Shik-kai to open modern prison, and given only 5000 With which to carry out the work. He managed the institution so skillfuly, and employed convict la Dor so profitably that the prison now has s30,OO0 in the bank and has paid all it's administrative expenses.
 Six hundred men and one hundred women are confined in the prison, and of this number only twelve partici- pated in the dash for liberty. Prac- tically all the others attempted to prevent violence and to protect the superintendent and guards.
