itancc That He Never Cot

Charles Ballard, member of "a So
cially prominent family Of Louis
vile, Ky, who was an ensign on the
battlcship Illinois during the World
War, yesterday obtained an order
from Justice McCook directing Mrs.
Mae Ballard to show cause why the
alimony of s75 week and counsel
fees Of $3.50 awarded her in separa-
tion suit should not be reduced.
Ballard, now a salesman for mo-
tion picture company said the alimony
is beyond his means and was granted
on the allegation by his wife that he
had received $4,000 from his mother,
which Ballard says he never received.
Ballard denies that he abandoned
his wife, on which alleged ground she
is suing, and in his counter claim for
a, separation asserts that Mrs. Ballard
abandoned him while he was at Anna
polls.
Ballard was on leave Of absence
from the naval academy when he was
married. Mrs. Ballard had been an

tents in the tent city at Edgemere,
Queens, were destroyed yesterday by a
fire which is thought to have started

gear.
Some Of the tent dwellers were in
bathing when the fire broke out. and
were unable to reach their temporary
homes in time to save even their cloth
ing. They huddled about fires on the
beach during the remainder of the af
to bring them clothes.
Tent City has about 750 families.
The property is owned by the Gilrose
Realty Company, which is the owner of
the cottage that was burned. The area
swept by the fire is between Beach
Fifty-second and Beach Fifty-fourth

Rule of COnvicts /
Proves Failure in
Fort LeavenwOrth
Beatings and Black Eyes in
Name of Discipline
and Prison Moonshine
Named Among Causes

KANSAS CITY, Sept. 3.-The United
States disciplinary barracks at Fort
Leavenworth, Kan, was ruled by a
Council" Of prisoners from January TO
July, 1919. and this method Of admins.
tration was adopted on orders from
the War Department.. it was ssse rted
in report made to-day by Oscar C.
Schmitz. special agent for the Depart
ment Of Justice.
A statement in tho report from Colo
mel Sedgwick Rice. commandans at the
prison council" was established. says
that he conferred witt War Depart
ment officials in Washington in Janu
ary, 1919, as to conditions in the prison
after one Of q series Of strikes"
among the prisoners.
Demands Delivered to Baker
"The demands Of the prisoners, in
writing. were delivered by me in per-
son to Secretary Baker" Colonel Rice
said in his statement. "His reply in
writing was delivered bv me to the
prisoners. The establishment of the
prisoners conference committee fol-
lowed, on orders of the adjutant gen.
eral Of the army"
MANY OIL the OcJdllS OIL tne manage
ment and administration were turned
over to committees of prisoners. ac-
cording to statements of prisoners and
former prisoners. A judicial commit
tee was established and sub-commit-
tees for the kitchen, dining room, yard
and sleeping quarters. A constitution
was drawn up for the government Of
the prison. The judicial committee
was given the right to try offenders
against "lesser laws" and to inf!ict pun
ishment.
Prisoners testified that the sub-com-
mittees became tyrannical and over
bearing and that the punishments fre-
quently consisted Of beatings and black
eyes.
The Kitchen committee" it is al
legged, smuggled out potato parings
from the kitchen and manufactured
liquor from them.
Theory Didn't Work
"The theory was not bad" was the
assertion Of George Auday. a prisoner,
in his testimony. "It would not work
out, however, and now l see why.
While there were several hundred men
in the prison who desired to do what
was right and had been sent there for
trivial offenses, there were also several
hundred hardened criminals, who pre-
ferred prison life to the danger Of
the trenches and sought to escape serv-
ice by committing an offense that in
sured them term long enough to pass
the war period. They cared not at all
for oaths or laws-the only rule they
knew was force"
Testimony set forth in the report
indicated that the prison council"
system was discontinued in July, 1919,
after it failed to restore satisfactory
conditions to the prison. Colonel Rice
was relieved as commandant of tho
prison shortly afterward.
