London. Aug. 1o.--ArchbIshop John
Mannix. of Australia. who was landed
yesterday at Penzance by British
destroyer which had taken him from
the White Star liner Baltic off the
Irish coast, arrived here at 6 o'clock
today,
There were only few reporters
and a. handful of priests present, to
greet the archbishop. There were no
untoward incidents.
A less impressive welcome for
Archbishop Mannix could hardly have
been staged than that which greeted
him. Only the late editions OF last
evenings newspapers published the
fact that he had landed at Penzance
and was coming to this city. There
fore only a few persons knew that, he
was to arrive today.
Tho police had made arrangements
to care for much larger crowd.
At Home of Priest.
Even the priests were not allowed
to greet the Archbishop until he had
passed the barriers into the station
proper. Here the police had some diff
ficulty in handling even such small
crowd, as nearly >every one insisted
in knceling before the archbishop and
kissing his hand. Later he was driven
to the home of q priest in the
suburbs.
Archbishop Mannix declined to say
whether he had any plans for the inn
mediate future and would not dis
close what he intended to do during
his stay in England.

an injustice to the public.
The decision was announced in the

way and Light Company, which was

straining the city OF Ottumwa from

Des Moines, Aug. 1O.-Dr. T. f.
Duhigg's announcement that he will
run as an Independent for congress
In the Seventh district and that he
favors amendment of the Volstead
law so as to permit light wines and
beers, has created much political in
terest here. 1t assures at least one
wet and dry contest in Iowa this fall,
in the political division where such
contests naturally fall. It will be UP
to congress to tinker with the Vol
stead act. and DR.. Duhigg Is seeking
"a seat in congress. He has something
to talk about. He makes good
speech. He plans an active campaign.
Few believe that upon this or any
other issue democrat can overcome
G. c. Dowell's popularity in the dis
trict. The interest centers, however,
on the question of whether Duhigg
can swing Polk county into line for
him, in view OF the oft repeated as
sertion that Des Moines really Is wet.

The resignation of Judge Anderson,
Of Sioux City. from the district bench

that he has resigned, to enter a law

Chicago. Aug. 10.-John L. whit
man, state superintendent of prisons.
ordered an immediate investigation
into the causes OF the fire which
practically destroyed the chair fac
tory at Joliet penitentiary yesterday
afternoon.
The fire, which is admittedly OF
incendiary origin, lis believed to have
been intended as a prelude to a
wholesale attempt at Jail delivery. At
the time 1t broke out, however. the
convicts were all in the dining halls
under guard.
Mr. Whitman, in the absence OF
Warden Murphy, confined 10 ais bed

assembled court OF inquiry as soon
as the fire was under control. Con-
victs working in the factory were
taken under guard to the prison Of
fices to be questioned.
The fire broke out in part Of tho
factory building where finished chairs
are stored for shipment 1t spread
with amazing rapidity, fed by stores
OF varnish and shellac. There were
several explosions. Before the prison
fire apparatus, manned by conicts
could get streams Of water on the
blaze II, was roaring thru the entire
building.
The prison flre whistle was blown
and every convict was hurried to his
cell and Looked in. The prisoners,
fearing that the fire would spread
and that they would be trapped in
the cells, began to howl and beat on
the bars.
The fire ragged for three hours be-
fore 1t was under control. The
damage was estimated by prison Of
ficials at about $4,000.
The building is the one in which
the prison riots Of June S, 1917, orig
mated. At the time several build
ings were burned by the convicts and
Capt. Peter Waters, a keeper, was
killed. A battalion Of the old Dandy
First" Infantry, camping near Joliet,
