800 ENRAGED CONVICTS
BATTLE ILLINOIS MILITIA
Three Probably F ataIIy
Wounded, Many Injured,
Prison Buildings Fired

JOLIET. Ill. June 5.-Mutiny at the
Joliet state prison today resulted in
probable fatality of three convicts.
minor injury of a score of others and
the serious injury of two guards. The
outbreak was under control this after
noon.
While there was still fighting inside
the prison enclosure, it was gradually
dying down, and prison authorities
wired Governor Lowden at Springfield
that the situation was we'll in hand.
Fire set by the convicts had destroyed
the oil and lumber houses, and it was
believed the chapel would be consumed.
The other buildings. it was said, would
be saved.
Three companies of militia. the entire
Joliet police and fire department and
all the deputy sheriffs in VIII county
were called out to battle the 500 inmates
when they started the trouble.
The guards seriously injured were
named Ward and Waters. The former
was struck by a bullet which ricocheted
from a stone wall. Waters was hit on
the head by a brick. The names of the
injured convicts were not announced.
Governor Lowden has ordered Charles
l.. Thorne, head of the department of
public welfare, to this city to take
charge of the situation.
The rioting began at the breakfast
table, following Acting Superintendent
Bowens announcement that none but
relatives would be permitted to visit
the institution in the future. The con-
victs began pelting their guards with
dishes, knives and forks and chairs.
In the meantime the number of rioting
convicts had grown to nearly 500. The
guards were showered with rocks, clubs
and other missiles. Two convicts made
their way into the oil house and emerged
brandishing two cans of kerosine. While
the prison guards tried vainly to fight
their way through, the torch was APP
piled to five buildings, the chapel, repair
shop, oil house. lumber house and boiler
shop.

SENATOR SMITH NAMED
PRESIDENT BY VETERANS
Son of a Veteran Makes Nom
mating Speech at Mock
Senate Session
by RALPH SMITH.

| WASHINGTON, June 6.-Senator
Hoke Smith was nominated for presi-
dent of the United States today at a
mock session of the United States SEN
ate in which Confederate vets, their sons
and daughters predominated. The nom
| nation speech was made by veteran s
SON from Tennessee and was received
with loud applause.
Meeting a great number of veterans
and their friends in the corridors of the
capitol shortly before noon, Senator
Smith invited them to accompany him
on a sightseeing tour of the capitol.
Most of the visitors were from Georgia,
the Carolinas and Tennessee. There
must have been a hundred in the crowd.
After the visit through the marble
hall. the presidents room, expatiating
upon the wonderful painting and mir
rors, Senator Smith invited the crowd
into the senate chamber. A veteran was
escorted to the chair usually occupied
by the vice president, and held an
| imaginary gavel while Senator Smith
told something of the senate, it's his
tory and procedure.
Finally the young Tennessean arose
and. in a brief speech, expressed the
tanhks of all to Senator Smith for his
kindness. He said they could not recip-
rocate, and least of all himself since
he lived in Tennessee.
But all 1 can do and say Is that If
the distinguished Georgian ever becomes
candidate for president he will have
the solid support Of the Tennessee dele
cation in the nomination convention and
Tennessees vote in the electoral col
lege." said the young man.
Then, on motion of Senator Smith, the
crowd adjourned to the restaurant,
where the senator was host at luncheon.

New York, N. Y.-It is conserva-
lively estimated that over three mill
lion people annually in this country
alone are taking Nuxated Iron. Such
astonishing results have been reported
from it's use both by doctors and lay
men that a number of physicians in
various parts of the country have been
asked to explain why they prescribe it
so extensively, and why it apparently
produces so much better results than
were obtained from the old forms of
inorganic iron. Extracts from some
of the letters are given below. A special
