Prisoners Rebel
At StOCkade
TEAR UP FLOOR IN THEIR QUARTERS
authorities Double Guards and Stop RaOnS Until
Damage is Repaired

The county authorities have
been experiencing considerable
trouble with the men confined in
the stockade across the river and
as a result their l'atlOns were cut
off from Monday evening to We'd
nesday evening. Monday after
noon the prisoners became unruly
and as a protest against being
confined tore up a portion of the
floor and knocked several boards
off the side of the building.
Sheriff holland ordered the
prisoners to repair the damage
to the building and upon their
refusal to do so stopped their
rations informing them that
when the work was done their
rations would be started again
The men threatened to burn the
building down and fearing thty
would make a, break to attempt
to get away the guards were
doubled Tuesday night and We'd
nesday.
Wednesday evening the prison
ers changed their minds and re-
paired the damage and when the
work was completed they we're
given their regular ratiOns. A
man named Sullivan and one Of
the foreigners, both of whom were
arrested last week at Santa, were
the ringleaders in the trouble.
4 The county authorities are at
mpting to make arrangements
to have United States soldiers de
tailed here to take charge of the
stOckade. Press dispatches from
Moscow state that the military
authorities have taken over the
stockade there and are guarding
the prisoners and handling theil
rations and the authorities vii
attempt to have them MAKE
similar arrangements here.

Commissioners Brodhead and
Van Sicklen and Engineer Booth
Of the North and South Highway
Commission were in the city
yesterday looking over the ground
with a view of starting the sur
yey for the road through this
county which will be a part of the
North and South Highway through
the state. The commits sioners
could not spare the time to visit
the south end of the county but
looked over the proposed site of
the road from this city to Chat
icolet and expressed themselves as
being very favorably impressed
with it. They stated that engin-
ieers would be here and the sur
vey for the road will be started in
( about two weeks.
Upon completion and accept
ance of the survey it will then be
left to the county to provide its
portion of the funds to carry on
the work. This county will be
required TO furnish two-thirds of
the cost of the road through its
Ib0rders and the state will pay the
remaining one-third. After the
lcompletion of the road the state
provides for its maintenance.
/ Commissioner Brodhead stated it
was useless to look for any gov
ernment aid towards the road as
the policy being followed is not
TO provide funds for any roads
other than post roads.
Regarding the work Of building
the road the commissioner ex-
Irlained that the state advertises
for bids and superintends all con-
struction. A state engineer vii
he i'm charge of the work, which
must be done according to state
specifications, and all construc-
ton will be checked by him. The
road must follow a water grade
between here and Harrison as F.;

thursday morning by the Local
Board from Adjutant General
Moody stating that the new ruling
regarding dependents is such that
all married men are exempt ex-
cept in cases where they have
accumulated sufficient means to |
insure that the wife will not be ,
forced to work i'm order to sup |
port herself and family. The er-
feet Of the ruling IS to exempt all |
married men in Benewah county |
and will necessitate the board
making another call to furnish |
the quota required.
President Wilson's instructions |
in regard to the ilew ruling ON
the status of married men follow:
I'VE ought as far as practicable
to raise this new national army
without creating the hardships
necessarily entailed when the
head of a family is taken, and
hoped that for the most part that
those accepted in the first call
would be found to be men who
had not yet assumed such rela-
tions.
THE selective service law
makes the fact of dependents
rather than the fact of marriage
the basis for exemption, and
there are undoubtedly many cases
within the age limits fixed by law
Of men who are married and yet
whose accumulations or other
economic surroundings are such
that no dependency of the wife
exists in fact. Plainly the law
doesn't contemplate exemption
for this class of men.
THE regulations promulgated
on June 80, 1917, should be re-
garded as controlling in these
cases and the orders issued under
that regulation directing exemp-
tion boards to establish the fact
OF dependents in addition to the
fact of marriage, ought not to be
abrogated."
Since receiving the new in
structiOns the Local Board has
allowed all claims for exemption
filed by married men included in
the last i50 called and has re-
commended to the district board
: that all appeals from their for
! mer decision on applications for
exemption on the grounds OF de-
pendents be allowed.
When the board adjourned
, Wednesday evening, before the
, new instructions were received,
, Benewah countys quota of rs
, was filled and ready to be certi-
fled to the district board. Since
, receiving the new instructions
, the board has rcconsidered and
r allowed all claims for exemption
! where the applicant is married
and the quota for this county
, now lacks eleven Of being com
r pIete.

Lloyd George Not Ready
to Talk on Irish Question

London, May 25-on presentation
of a motion today for adjournment
of the house of commons for the
Whitsuntide recess Premier Lloyd
George said he was not in a position
to give a definite reply as to the COM
position of the convention which is
to attempt a settlement of the Irish
question. but that it. might be as
sumed that the house and the gov
eminent had lost no. time in getting
into touch with the various parties
with view to procuring a. represent
tation that would carry out the
scheme outlined by the government.
The premier said he had hoped to
make statement today but that it
would be a great mistake if, in order
to make an announcement, the gov
ernent were to take unnecessary risks
and by that means ALLEVIATE import
ant bodies of opinion in ireland. For
that reason the government had come
to the conclusion that it would be
better that no statement should be
made as to negotiations which have
not been completed.
