FEW coNVlcTs IN. PEN.
Local aOption, "Werk or Fight" Rule,
Labor Demands. Responsible.

Saltwater, Mimi, July 23.-The
sharp decrease in the number Of in
mates in the state penitentiary here,
has attracted considerable attention.
On January 1 the prison housed
1902 convicts and at present 1t has
1872 prisoners. OF this total, 1875 are
serving life terms.
Prison authorities, in stating that
this total is the lowest in years, are
inclined to hold three causes re-
sponsible. The war comes first. It
has taken thousands Of men from
the state. The heavy demand for
labor and enforcement Of the work
or fight order has kept undesirable
characters on good behavior, it was
said. The third reason given, is the
fact that local option had made
much more than half Of Minnesota,
dry territory.

Created at Wilson's Behest
The supreme council was created
at the urgent insistence of President
Wilson for aggressive action this
year. based on co-ordinated plans
under the direction of a single
agency. The exact scope of the
councils authority has never been
disclosed. 1t was said, both by

Ambulance Is Busy
Two trips of the Harrisburg am
bulance were necessary to take the
victims to the hospital.
The rest of the mon received first
aid treatment at the scene of the
accident, and were able to go to their
homes.
The accident happened. at 7.50.
The shift of $50 men employed in
the casting room began work at 6
o'clock. The "bell' which blew off.
is the receptacle into which the ore,
coke and stone is fed for the manu-
'facture of pig iron. From the bell
it is dumped into the furnace, and
then run into the moulds which form
the floor of the casting room. This
bell was blown off when the pres
sure of the gases pumped beneath il
from the huge stoves nearly became
too great to be taken care of by their
outlet, known as the feeder" stu
ated at the top of the furnace.
The pig iron is not used at the
Central Iron and Steel Company for
the products they manufacture, and
therefore none of their other con-
tracts will be held up. The pig iron
is shipped mostly to the Luken Steel
Company and another large steel
company here in Harrisburg.
Official Statement
The official statement given out at
the Central Iron and Steel Company
following the accident this morning
follows:
Due to irregular working condi-
tions, high internal pressures de-
veloped and lifted the top off No. 2
blast furnace. 1t was at first thought
an explosion had occurred but such
was not the case. Necessary replace
ments and repairs will be made ~

within thirty days. Several men
were injured but none seriously"

dicted yesterday in its weekly war
review, the council will not be
forced to hold it's reserves for de-
fensive purposes, and can devote this
new agency to attempts to smash
weak points in the German line.
Scene May Shift to Italy
Opinion as to the sectors offering
the best opportunity for allied as
saults varies widely here. There is
substantial agreement, however, that
the Italian front may, in fact, be-
come the main theater of war this
year. Austro- German concentra-
tions and possible offensives on that
front, also noted by the weekly war
summary, may represent the recog-
milton of this view by the German
high command.
In any event, even though the
supreme council might have decided
to make the effort to break through
in Italy, it is believed the first moves
in the game would be played in
France and Flanders. Drives with
all the appearance of being the real
offensive would undoubtedly accom-
pany or precede the main thrust.
The pooled allied reserves. under
direction of the supreme council,
would make possible a campaign of
such nature, designed to keep the
German command perpleXed as to
which assault would be driven
home,
