When folks get on a car marked
Madison-SpringfieId, they know that
Springfield is as far as that car will
take them. Practically all of the cars
that run out to Austin are close to
half empty when they reach Cicero
(49th). There is a switch at this
corner, which would take cars from
the west-bound track to the east
bound track. Why not, then, make
about half of the present Madison
Austin cars Madison-Cicero and
when they get to Cicero, switch them
back to the barns, or on downtown
for another load. People who get on
Madison-Cicero cars would know
that they could only ride to Cicero
and no arguments would occur. The
Madison-SpringfieId cars cause no
arguments. Why isn't this sugegs-
ton for betterment of service (Which
the car company soIicits) worth try
ing out?

There, again, is the suggestion
that folks who live in the west end
of Chicago, near Madison street, or
in the west suburbs, are making to-
ward betterment of Madison street
car service.
It is in response to the, Chicago

for suggestions from its patrons. The
car bosses say such ideas will be
gratefully received and acted upon.
It would seem that it is now up to
the car company to try this plan out
Thursday night, it was the old
story, on at the end of the Madison
line. Folks who paid five cents to
ride to the end Of the line were
forced to get off seevral blocks from
their destination and walk the bal

night because, through what looks
like poor management, cars are al
lowed to jam up the tracks for from
three to five blocks in the evening

panies of the Illinois militia and the
combined fire and police depart
ments Of the city of Joliet are en-
gagged in desperate fig..'. with 500
convicts in the Joliet state peniten-
tiary.
Five buildings in the interior Of
: the prison are in flames, having been
ignited by the infuriated inmates.
At noon the fighting appeared to
be increasing in fury.
At that time, five convfcts had
been seriously wounded and score
prison guards, soldiers or police had
been reported injured
A disturbance at the breakfast
table this morning soon reached such
proportions that the prison authorf-
ties could not cope with it, 1t ap-
peared to be a general agreement
among the convicts to attempt to
make drive for freedom. Hurried
calls for help were sent to three
companies Of the First regiment,
Illinois national guard. which has
been guarding power plants and
bridges near JOlltl loi sCNC'di
weeks. Three companies with loaded
rifles responded. With the riot ap-
parently under control new men,
ace appeared at 10 o'clock when
building after building in the interior
of the institution broke into flames.
At noon five buildings were report
ed to be on fire, three Of which
seemed to be doomed to complete
destruction.
The Joliet fire department was
called out ana the entire police de
partment and reserves were sum-
moned short time after.
Firemen who were battling the
flames were menaced by the con.
victs who had armed themselves
with clubs, bits of iron and anything
else they could put their hands on.
The firemen several times were
forced to abandon fighting the fire
to turn their hose upon advancing
inmates.
According to reports, the trouble
today started as a result of an order
posted yesterday by George L.
Bowen, acting warden of the prison
to the effect that none but relatives
of the convicts would be permitted
to visit the institution.
There was a roar Of cat calls and
Kisses when the order was an.
nounced The grumbling last night
finally subsidized, but during the night
leaders of the convicts apparently
passed the word around that gen.
eral break for liberty should be
staged early this morning.

y Early indications were that
nearly rs percent of the young men
in the eligible list under select1ye

Weather was threatening and IN
some places a drizzly rain had al
ready begun, but while the long lines
of prospective soldiers and sailors
were soaked to the skin their pat
riotism was in no way dampened. II
there were any slackers they were
not in evidence early. Police and

sque1ch the least indication of anti
registration demonstrations reported
everything quiet and confidently pre-
dicted that conditions would remain
so throughout the day
A downpour started in Chicago
shortly before the polls opened, but
Dennis J. Egan, chief clerk OF the
election commission and head OF the
registration machinery in this city,
said that If early indications were
borne out, more than 70 percent or
the total registration would be in by

the things that contributes satisfac-

day of oblivion. There are some
things that we have thankfully buried
