R|OF|N PRISON
Hunger Strikers Hold Dormitory
Until Attacked by Several
High Pressure Streams.

BAL lmOnC, Nd, aug. So.-
Seventy hunger strikers, segregated
in a dormitory of the Maryland
penitentiary here, broke out of their
cells about 2:30 o'clock this morn
ing and rioted in the building until
daylight.
DORMITORY IS WRECKED.
The interior of the dormitory was
escaped City policemen and firemen
were called to help quell the disturb
ance.
Not until fire hose were turned on
the rioters did they show any sign of
quieting down. The authorities waited
until daylight before entering the
building, because the prisoners had
broken all the electric fights before
the trouble started.
At o'clock the prisoners were, still
in charge of the dormitory, but had
quieted down under the persuasive
influence of several streams of water
from fire hose.
At O'Clock the prisoners were still
in possession of the dormitory. There
were thirteen guards on duty when
the rioting started, but Acting War
den Bailey could not say wheher any
of these had been injured. The war
den refused to allow newspaper men
to enter the building.
ONE FIREMAN HURT.
When firemen, at daylight, made
their way into the building, preceded
by a barrage of water from the high
pressure system, one of the firemen
was seriously injured, one of the riot
ing prisoners hurling an iron door
against him, burying him under the
heavy weight. Comrades rescued the
injured fireman.
There are hundreds of prisoners in
the Maryland penitentiary, and at the
height of the rioting the din could
be heard for blocks. By the time the
city police and fremen arrived, the
prisoners had broken the windows,
battered their cells, and torn up
everything within reach. Buckets and
bricks were hurled out OF the win
dows at the policemen who surround
ed the building to prevent the escape
of any OF the men. Shots were fred
by the police to frighten the rioters,
but to no avail.
Hundreds OF prisoners went on a
strike a few days ago for a better
variety" of food. The warden met
this with an ultimatum that the men
who would not work would not eat.
The majority of the prisoners decided
to work. But the seventy who took
part in this mornings rioting refused
to work and we're segregated in a
dormitory and put on bread and
water diet.

ALARM CALL
 PART OF DRILL Only About 60 Actually Out For Duty At
 Capitol.

Hartford, Conn.,, May 1-As part Jf a drill in giving an alarm call. members of the First regiment, Con- necticut State Guard, early today got word to be ready to report for duty. Only about so men were actually called out and these in squads were sent out on guard duty and for pa trolling until daylight when they were dismissed except one corporaPs squad which remained at the state armory.
 Judge Lucien F. Burpee, president of the military emergency board today said that some time ago he received a notice from the department of jus tice at Washington that it would be advisable to be prepared for any dis turbance which might occur in Con- necticut on May Day. There was no specific instructions as to what should be done nor was any information given which might have led the board to presume that something untoward was to happen on May Day.
 In~ accordance with emergency plans regimental commanders were informed of the advices from Wash ington. A fortnight ago the first regiment members of the state guard were told that a service call might be given to test their readiness There were also to be drills and in- struction in guard duty. About last midnight, Col. c. W. Burpee, coIn- manding the regiment, sent out an officers call and this was followed after a short conference, by an alarm to subordinate officers and their men The response, as reported to head quarters, was a prompt one. The men were released from alert ir about two hours, except about sixty men who had been among those re- porting at the state arTnory. These men squads were sent out on guard duty, to the state capitol, the muni- cipa1 building, the Hartford Electric Light Works and several other places Others went on patrol. All were withdrawn at daylight and sent home except a half dozen who remained at the armory.
 Nowhere else in the state was ar alarm given or the men told to be ready for duty.

Miss Helen Grimes, president of the Con- gress and a member of the Federal Fair Price committee here, told those present that staple clothing is sold at far lower prices than articles of the same quality of material which are cut and trimmed in conformity with the latest styles.
