WARDENS BATTLE FOUR
 HOURS QUELL|NG RIOT
Prisoners in Cook County, H., Jail Revolt-Ring-
 leaders Are Whipped

Chicago, May s.-A four hour riot in the Cook county jail was queled early today when Wesley Westbrook, warden. and 30 guards removed the -ingleaders from their cells one at a time and whipped them. Displeasure of the prisoners over a change in the method of admitting visitors led to the outbreak.
 The riot started on the fourth tier. Flaming blankets were dropped to the ground floor. Dense smoke also suf- located many inmates. With steel strips of iron from their hunks, the prisoners beat upon the bars of their cells the bedlam being heard for blocks. Crowds gathered at the jail entrance and police were called to drive them away
 The women's ward is just above the fourth tier and close to the center of the disturbance. Four children, three years old, who were locked up when their mothers, and two other women were committed last Thursday on a contempt of court sentence became hysterical and jail physicians were called to quiet them. One woman, about to become a mother was report ed to be suffering a severe nervous shock.
 Warden Westbrook said that after each of more than 900 prisoners had visitors on recent visiting day pack ages left mounted so high it required the entire jail force nearly all night to sort them. Guns, saws, files, drugs and all manner of contraband was found, he said.
 The warden then decided to divide the jail into four sections and permit only one fourth of the prisoners to have visitors at one time.
