PRISONERS REVOLT IN
ILLINOIS PEN|TFNT|ARY
FIRE YARD BUILDINGS
Set Fire to Penitentiary Buildings
and Attempt to Make Their
Escape.
TROOPS QUELL THE RIOT
Heavy Rain Storm Drives Remain
ing Mutinees to the Cell
House.

Joliet, ILL.,, June 5.-After one pris-
oner had been killed, eight severely
injured and several others hit today
during three riotous outbreaks at the
State prison by thousand convicts.
rain storm drove the last 200 of
the mutineers to the cell house, all
though they had stubbornly refused to
move before the bayonets of National
Guards men who quelled the outbreak.
Fires set within the prison destroy
ed the yard buildings, entailing a to-
tai loss of 100000. Several other
buildings were damaged by the flames.
John Murphy, life convict, said to
be leader of the riot, suffered a
fractured skull when he was struck
by guard with dubbed rifle.
There were three riots, but the dis
order was almost continuous from the
first outbreak until order was finally
restored by troops. All offenders are
locked in cells tonight.
First Disorder.
The first disorder came at breakfast
when 800 convicts showed displeas-
ure over an order issued by Warden
Bowen that hereafter prisoners see
no visitors except relatives.
The second outburst followed the
setting of fire in the chair factory
about three hours later.
The threatening attitude of the con-
victs caused the warden to ask for
State troops.
BY the time the soldiers arrived
fires had been set in several places,
threatening the entire prison.
Call for Troops.
The outbreak then became so
threatening that Capt. Ridgeway or
dered the soldiers to drive the men
back with fixed bayonets while the
fire department fought the flames. AS
the sharp points Of the steel pene-
trated the clothing of the front ranks
of the convicts they WINGED and fin
ally broke into run that carried all
the outlaws to the prison walls.
There the men were told that they
must return to the cell house. With
the flames cracking near they refused
to yield, apparently hoping that the
fire would release all to the open field.
AS the flames began to die down many
revolters gave up. All but about 200
OF the convicts were thus placed un-
der lock and key. The remainder
Sullenly stood their pronnd and tho
officers decided not to fire upon the
men except as a last resort. Rain
began to fall in torrents on the pris-
oners and they surrendered to gain
shelter.
While the Tightening of prison rules
was said to be the sole cause of the
disorder, Hinter C. Clabaugh, of the
Federal Bureau of Investigation at
Chicago, sent eight men to determine
what part, if any, objection to con-
scription registration played.

at Submarine Attacking
Her.

London, June 5.-The American
steamship Mongolia fired four shots
on June 1 at German submarine
which discharged torpedo at the
liner Neither the Mongolia nor the
submarine were damaged.
The Mongolia was 250 miles from
the British coast when the submarine
appeared and fired torpedo. By
skilful maneuvering the steamer es-
capped the torpedo and opened on the
submarine with her guns. Four shots
were fired. The submarine fed al
though unhit. The Mongolia pro-
ceeded on her voyage and has ar
rived at a British port.
1t was the Mongolia which fired
he first gun for America in the war
and sank a German submarine. After
leaving on the voyage just completed
this liner put back to port on account
of an accident to gun.
On voyage to England in April
he Mongolia fired on a submarine in
British waters. On his arrival in
London Capt. Rice said there was no
doubt the submarine had been sunk.

the captain of the U-boat had been
Killed and that the craft had been
damaged badly but had reached Kiel.

Breaking the Pinate''

Not until after the religious service
mas dancing and feasting begin in the
City of Mexico. One of the curious Gus
toms Is the breaking of pinates. says a
Mexican writer in the New York Sun.
THE pinate is a very brittle eartben
ware pot or vessel, usually gay In color
and Of various shapes. These pinates
are sometimes modelled ara dressed to
represent a clown, a ballet dancer. an
angel, almost anything your fancy
might conceive. Into the pinate are
stuffed the small fayors of the Christ.

tsN~breakable toys and little silver ar
ticles.
Swinging high in the well lit court
yard of the Mexican-home, the game
is for the children to reach up and
break the pinate. Parents and chill
dren all gather under 1t. Each one is
blindfolded and given a long stick,
placed under the pinate, turned round
three times and told to strike at 1t.
One is given three tries, usually un-

things tumble to the ground there is a
general scramble for them.
This ceremony takes the place of
the Christmas tree. which is purely
a fiesta for the children. After the
children have been sent to bed we who
are grown up enjoy a typical Christ
mas supper. 1t Is usually a feast Of
fish, salads. sweets and wine. Dancing
on well waxed floors to the music of
a strineed orchestra follows.
Around the sala, or dancing room. on
tables are placed costly gold and gilt
ornaments. These might be analogous
to your cotillion favors, except that
they are bestowed on everybody. 1t

dawn of Christmas day, when the

CORDUROY USED AS LINING
Ribbed Velvet Gives Substance to
Coats Whose Outer Fabric Is of
Light Weight Material.

Among the new ideals for the COM
ing season are long coats and wraps
lined with corduroy instead of the
usual satin brocade or fur.
The lining of ribbed velvet will give
substance to coats whose outer fab
ric is of light weight material. The
interior color may be of white, putty
or any of the pastel %colors, according
to that of the coat material.
1t is yet to be seen just how the new
idea will take. Two or three seasons
ago a prominent French %couturiere adj
vanced the lining of linen for the jack
cts of silk. The sheer novelty of the
thing attracted attention, but beyond
that the vogue was not advanced. 1t
is thought hat something of the same
sort may happen to the transposition
for corduroy from the fabric of outer
composition to that of the lining.

WAISTCOAT OF FUR
This Is One of the Successful
Novelties of the Season.
Can Be Worn With Most Severely
Plain Tailored Suit and Is Both
Attractive and Comfortable

The coy little fur waistcoat is one
of this seasons successful novelties.
Waistcoats of this kind are being
made of all sorts of different furs,
astrakhan, musquash, squirrel, beaver
and dyed rabbit. Such waistcoats
can be worn with the most severely
plain tailored suit and they not only
look attractive, but they are so warm
that the coat can be thrown open in
the manner now considered so SUI
premely correct"
The winter suit which is shown in
the sketch was created by Worth. 1t
is simplicity itself, but so beautifully
cut and so admirably well chosen, so
far as materials are concerned, that
it might be worn on the most elab0r-
ate and ceremonious occasion. The
material of both coat and skirt was
Guaranteed -duvetyn and the trim
ming was musquash in a dark brown
shade, writes Italia de Villiers, a
Paris correspondent.
Worth is making many winter suits
of this order and he is using quanti-
ties of soft duvetine and corded ga
berdine. I noted many different
shades of rich red in his showrooms,
but the bright currant shade seems
a special favorite. This red has a
touch of purple in 1t and 1t is particu-
larly attractive in diagonal serge,
duvetihe and %gaberdine.
Worth is not making any walking
skirts shorter than "ankle length"
and nearly all his new model skirts
are plain and fitted at the waist.
Large slip pockets are introduced at
the sides and the skirts fall in per-
fectly straight lines from waist to
hem without giving any idea Of the
ugly "hobble" outline. Please take
special note of the large turnover col
lar shown in this sketch.
This style of collar appears on all
the new winter coats made at the

There is a split in the congregation
OF the Wild wood Methodist church.
AT the recent annual election of the
Sunday-school B. G. Ingersoll was re-
elected superintendent, but as the
quarterly conference refused to con-
firm him he cannot serve. District
Superintendent Neal held the confer
ence in the Wildwood church recently
when Mr.. Ingersoll publicly defied
him. Mr.. Ingersoll then announced,
so 1t is said, that he would quit the
church as long as DR.. Edwards re-
manned here as pastor. Last Sunday
Mr.. Ingersoll, Mrs. Gale and others
conducted Sunday-school aud church
services in the Swedish church on
Davis avenue. The regular Sunday
school of the Wildwood M. e. church
is at the corner of Roberts and Pacific
avenues, to which the children are
invited. There are a number of new
teachers on duty.

Huge Buildings. for Offices at
Washington

Washington D. c., Nov. 5, 1917
One Of the manifold problems present.
ed by the war Is that of furnishing ade-
quate office accomdations for the thou
sands of additional officials, clerks, and
other Federal servants who are pour
ing into Washington. The Govern
ment is exercising its p%reroeative In
this direction and has commandeered
conveniently located office buildings
and apartment houses with a free hand.
In addition, it is erecting huge temper
airy structures for use as offices, and in
the building of these contractors are
brea king time records for construction
work. A building to house the six
hundred officials and clerks of the
Council of National Defense, contain
ing more than 100 600 square feet of
floor space, was erected and fully equip
ped in fifty-three days. Similar build
ings nearby are for the use of the Food
Administration, Fuel Administration,
and Army ordnance. Work IL well
under way on q mammoth structure
which will three city blocks to
house the overflow of the War and
Navy Departments, the contract for
which calls for completion In four
months.
By these methods the Government
keeps in advance of its actual needs.
At the present rate of increase the usu-
al 81, 900 Federal EN- ployees in Wash
iDgton will be more than doubled il
the war continues another year. Work.
ers Of all kinds are being appointed,
stenographers and typewriters and
craftsmen for the service generally,
and what are known as schedule clerks,
index and catalogue clerks, clerks quail
flied In statistics or accounting, and
clerks qualified in business administra-
ton for the Ordance Department OF the
Army, being in great demand.
Representatives of the Federal civil
service commission at the post offices
in all cities are the official recruiting
agents for the great civilian army, an
army of half million behind the men
