CONNECTS RIOT
TROOPS CALLED
Serious Riot Among COnvicts
AT Illinois State Prison
Tuesday.

Joliet, ILL.,, June s. Serious rlotlng
Z Broke out among convicts at the state
prison Tuesday. Five buildings were
on fire. Two companies of guards
men were called to assist in quelling
the disturbance.
The order that no visitors except
relatives of the 1 200 convicts be adj
mitted to the prison grounds seemed
to anger the convicts. AT breakfast
they hurled dishes and surged into
the grounds. The situation soon was
beyond the control of the guards.
Soldiers were called and began an at
tack with dubbed rifles and bayonets.
Meanwhile the fire companies en-
deavored to extinguish the blaze but
were met with a volley OF bricks. The
soldiers drove the convicts to the cor
ner of the yard and the firemen be-
gan TO throw water on the burning
structure. Three cOnvicts and a
guard were injured in the melee.

Spite Of German Agents and
Fanatics, Mind Of Nation
Is Shown Unanimous.
OVER 10000, 1000 RESPOND
Returns Check Closely With
the Estimates Announced
the Census Bureau.

Washington, June 6.-More than
10, 1000, 600 young Americans enrolled
themselves for war service. Regis
tration day, with but few weeks Of
preparation, saw the first military
census ever taken in the United States
completed without single untoward
event of consequence.
The manhood of the nation obeyed
the Presidents call and volunteered
en- masse, setting at naught all the
schemes and plottings Of German
sympathizers and the few cranks who
have agitated against registration. II
remains but to select the men who
are TO go to the front.
From virtually every state reassur-
ing messages came tonight to Brig.
General Crowder, provost marshall
general, federal supervising officer,
of the great enterprise. While no
complete returns from any state were
transmitted up TO late hour, the gov
ernors were unanimous in reporting
that complete quiet had prevailed
throughout the day, and that full
registration was indicated.
In some precincts the late corners
forced officials to keep the polls open
until long after the 9 p. m. closing
hour set in the regulations. General
Crowder authorized them TO keep
open as long as men wished to enroll
themselves. The result was further
to delay the transmission Of returns,
however.
The early reports, showing full
turnout all over the country, indicated
that the estimates Of the census bureau
as to the number'of men within the
specified age limits would be verified
by the count. Wherever partial fig
ures were available the estimates
checked closely.
IA typical message received was
that from Idaho:
Registration will be one hundred
per cent. "
The situation was so clear and the
response so ready throughout the
country that governors from 46 OF the
AS states had sent similar assurances
long before registration had closed
and the other two states were close
on their heels.
A feature of the registration was
the refusal of hundreds of thousands
of men to make any reply to the ques-
ton DO you claim exemption Even
men who reported that they had de-
pendent families; men with obvious
physical disabilities ami those whose
occupations are certain to keep them
at home declined to make sucha claim.
Apparently they have entered fully
into the very spirit of the law. They
are content to leave the question to
exemption boards. They have nc
claims TO make, but are ready to dc
their share, whatever it may be.
Instructions to registrars were COM
plete and clear. Their task has been
made as simple as possible and Gen.
eral Crowder is hopeful that another
SO hours will see the full record OF
the country in his desk.

Many Newspapers For Sale.

In the Publishers Auxiliary of June
2, more than so newspaper plants and
offices are advertised for sale. This
is the largest number ever published
before in one issue Of that paper. This
is strong indication that with the
prices of paper, the position of con-
gress to increase the postage rate and
also to put tax on advertising, is
having a discouraging effect upon the
newspapers of the country. Congress
man Fordney is reported to have said
that the newspapers caused war to be
declared and he wanted to see them
made to pay for it.

No Slackers Among the Brave
Young Men Of Old
Christian.
In FULL DETERMINATION
Four Thousand Men Said To
Uncle Sam, ''Here"
| Am"

Quietly and without excitement or
complaint 1900 young men in Christ
ian county between the ages of Fl
and 81 years went to their polling
places and enrolled for military SER
vice, each man fully realizing that at
least one out of every ten Of them
will be in a training camp within
ninety days preparing to carry the
war into Germany. With steadfast
patriotism, practically all within the
age limit performed the duty re-
quired of them like brave and loyal
citizens.
AT nearly every precinct the regis
tration was larger than expected. Up
to the time the registration began,
more than 100 citizens away from
home had sent in to Sheriff Smiths
office their registration cards filled
out in other localities. These will be
added to those registered by local reg
istrars. Most of those registering did
not claim exemption, but are ready
to obey the country's call. Many who
could have claimed exemption did
not ask it.
Out at the State Hospital Supt.
La Rue registered about 80of the pa
tionts. About so others were 81
years old according to their commit
ment papors, no exact dates being
given, and none of these were regis
tered. All who were registered will,
of course, be exempted from call.
Two copies of the lists will have to
be filed in the Office of County Clerk
Harris, and Mr.. Harris wants several
young ladies to volunteer to copy
these lists without cost to the govern
ment There will have to be about
5000 cards filed out in all, but patri-
Otto girls will no doubt volunteer to-
do this work for their country. AT
the First Baptist church open house"
was kept all day, fourteen members
volunteering to be in charge one hour
each. At Grace Episcopal church a
patriotic service was held by Rev.
Geo. c. Abbitt at 10 clock.

will constitute a brigade. commanded
by General Gather. OF Maryland.

2.400 men.
Already 1000 Firginians have
been sent for from Camp Lee. The
Virginia depot battalions will be

The Maryland depot battalions

necessity for efficient officers is more
recognized, now that the
outfit is beginning to take shape.
