ARMY PRISONERS i AT TLEAVENW0RTH | HAVE MUTINIED Forty ninth Infantry Regi- ment Called Out to Pre-
 vent Disorder. ARE DEMANDING GENERAL AMNESTY Third Mutiny of Inmates
 Who Are Mostly Mem bers of I. w. W.

Leavenworth, Kan, July 23-More than three-fourths of the 2,272 mili- tary prisoners in the disciplinary bar racks at the Federal prison here went on a strike yesterday, refusing to leave their cells or do any kind of work. This is the third mutiny or strike of the inmates who are former soldiers or l. w. w. agitators, in the last six months. The prisoners de- nand a general amnesty setting them free, and they declare that they will not return to work until a promise is made that they shall have it.
 The first strike was largely due to the granting of pardons to conscien- tlouS ooJectors. This was settled by promises being made to the soldier prisoners that their court-martiai sentences would be reconsidered and modified. A committee of officers conducted investigations and made recommendations resulting in setting some Of the prisoners free and re- ducins the sentences of others
 The second strike was based on harshness of the prison rules and that the work of the Pardon Board was too slow and not liberal enough. In the meantime a Prisoners Commit tee was appointed and 1t has for sey- erai months been passing on all com paints and disputes, virtually usurp- ing rights of the prison officials. The climax was reached yesterday when demand was made for a general amnesty for all the prisoners in the penitentiary.
 when the gangs refused to work today they showed a mean disposition and made threats against the guards. All shifts of guards were called in and the 18th Infantry Regiment was summoned from the Fort Leayen- worth garrison and, armed with re- beating rifles, were thrown around the outside walls of the prison. Off, cers were instructed to check any outbreak at all costs.
 When asked about the situation last evening Colonel Sedgwick Rice, the prison commandant, said:
 About three-fourths of the pris- oners are on strike, but there has been no violence as yet
 The prisoners have made a de- mand for a general amnesty setting them free. and they say they will not return to work until promise is made to them that they shall receive it. They have demanded of the prison officials that they place the demand for a general amnesty before President Wilson, but this has not been done. All that has been done so far is to telegraph their demand to the Adjutant-General of the army, and no reply has been received from it so far.
 Aside from the demand for gen. era1 amnesty, the prisoners made some complaints about the food and other things of a trivial nature. They get the same food that is furnished soldiers in the army. and 1t is wei, prepared"

Wine played so important part in Inc civilization of ancient Greece that She lnost popular private entertain nent seems to have been the sy1np posi- um. The character of these festive af- fairs depended upon the desire of the guests and especially upon the person corresponding to the modern toast mAster at a banquet. He had much more authority than a toast master, however, for he not only directed the conversation but he also determined how much water should be mixed with the wine and how large cups should be used.
 The symposium was a drinking par ty and followed the last meal O. the day.

 On his return to America, at San Francisco and Sacramento, thousands gathered to see him. On his return to New ork, he was presented by his friends with a home in that city, and also with a gift of two hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
 He was soon prevailed upon to enter banking firm with Ferdinand Ward and James. D. Fish. The bank failed, Grant found himself financial ly ruined, and his two partners were sent to prison. He was now to struggle again for a living, as in the early days in the Galena, H., leather store. A l1lIltly OlleT came rom the Cen tury Magazine, to write his experi- ences in the Civil war. Very simply, so that even an uneducated person could understand. Grant described the greatest battels in which he was of necessity the central figure Un- used to literary work, he bent himself to the task of working many hours a day.
 On October P, 1884, cancer devel- oped in his throat, ana for nine months Grant fought with death, till the two great volumes of his me- nloirs could be completed and given to the world, that his family might not be left dependent. Early in June, 1885, he was rapidly failing. Night and day the nation watched for tid- fngs from the bedside of the dying hero. At last in July, when he knew the end was near, he wrote an affec- tionate letter to his wife, the Julia Dent whom he had loved in his early manhood, and put it in his pocket, that she might read it after all was over. The letter read: Look after our dear children, and direct them in the paths of rectitude. It would distress me far more to think that one of them could depart from an honorable. upright and virtuous life, lldI IL w WOulU to Know that they were prosprated on a bed of sickness from which they were never to arise alive. They have never given us any cause for alarm on their account and earnestly pray they never will.

You will find this on my person after my demise" Before the body was placed in its casket, the eldest son placed a plain gold ring on the little finger of the right hand, the gift years before of his wife. but which had grown too large for the enaaciated finger in life. In his pocket was placed a. tiny pack age containing a lock of Mrs. Grants hair, and a solemn farewell, read ing. "We will awake, and remember. and understand"

of wine mixed with five parts of water, 1t took longer for intoxication to set in.
 Plato describes one of these syUpo- sia at great length, and he tells us that even at this assemblage of philoso- phers there was much drunkenness. At the end of the party, which had lasted all night, many of the guests had departed and most of the rest had fallen asleep over their wine. Only Socrates, Aristophanes and Agathon remained discoursing. Finally Aristo- planes nodded and was soon asleep. Agathon soon followed his example. And then Socrates, as fresh as though he had been sleeping instead of drink ing all night. walked out of the house. went to the bath, and spent the day in his usual manner.
 The usual symposium was probably much more of a debauch than this one that Plato tells about. There was a good deal of singing ant music which was orderly at first, but which became very disorderly, as the wine went to lggesting the Burning of PersepOlis.

CHILDREN STREW
 FLOWERS FOR
 PRINCE OF WALES
Had Visited Coal Regions
 For First Time.

London, July 23.-(Correspondenc of The Associated Press) Children strewed with flowers the path of the Prince of Wales and bombared his automobile with roses when he visit ed recently the coal mining regions of South Wales and went down into a mine. The Prince scored with the coal miners of Rhondda Valley by telling them that 1t was not his fault that it was his first visit and that his absence was due to the war.
 On his way to the mine he Sur- prised one woman by asking to see her house and garden. He stopped his car when another woman held up her baby to give him rose
 Arriving at Owymmer pit, the Prince donned the cap and overalls of a miner, and gratefully accepted from the foreman a silver safety lamp, the gift of the management. Miners and their families crowded around him, and cheered while the Prince waited for the cage to rise from the depths of the shaft.
 Suddenly there was heard tha sound of singing apparently from the bowels of the earth. The cage cano in view bringing a small party of miners, black with coal-dust, straight from the toll of the pit and singing a Welsh anthem.
 When the singing stopped the Prince and his official guides then stepped into the cage and, swiftly buS very carefully, were lowered into the mine.
 At the bottom of the shaft soma one had written on a bank timber with white chalk, Welcome to our soldier Prince" The Prince was manifestly pleased and asking for chalk wrote beside it Thank You,-, and signed 1t Edward F."
 Then they took him through the mines. showed him the ventilation system which guards the lives of the hundreds of men and boys while they work, showed him the working faces" where miners were digging coal, and explained to him some of the difficulties attending the under- ground life of the toilers.
 He insisted on trying 1t himself, and taking the pick handed to him by grimy old miner. struck few vigorous blows. Later, while thank- ing the people for his reception ha said he could appreciate the ltyen- uous charaetsr of . uainsE'o sgeg I

the heads of the guests. The Greeks seem to have been fond of plaIng great many trivial games at these par ties. At q late hour of a symposium an admirer of Greek culture who look ed in upon one of these gatherings would robably have received 6 rude shock. He would have seen a number of able looking men lolltng upon coucheS in various stages of intoxica- ton. A few of them might be discuss ing learnedly and some might be play ing games of skill. But most of those present would probably be seen cheer ing the feeble jokes of professional en- tertainers or trying to upset nutshells floating in water by throwing upon them drops of wine.
 Sometimes the guests at one of these symposia would form a procession and march through the streets, singing and dancing with the girls who furnished the music, playing all sorts of noisy practical jokes and often getting into fights with reputable citizens.
