Four-Hour Riot Ouelled
and the Leaders Are
f, Whipped i
SET BLANKETS AF|RE
Trouble Arose Over In
novation in Guest
Days
(By Associated Press)

Chicago, May 9-A four hourriot
in the Cook county Jail was quelled
early today when Wesley Westbrook,
warden, and thirty guards removed
the ring-leaders from their cells one
at a time, and whipped them. Dis
pleasure of the prisoners over a
change in the meathod of admitting
visitors led to the outbreak.
The riot started on the fourth tier.
Flaming blankets were dropped to the
ground floor. Dense smoke almost
suffocated many inmates. With steel
strips torn from their hunks, 1.-The pris-
oners beat upon the bars of their
cells, the bedlam being heard for
blocks. Crowds gathered at the Jail
entrance and police were calleds to
drive them away.
The women's ward is just above the
fourth tier and close to the center of
the disturbance. Four babies, who
were locked up when their mothers
and two other women were committed
last Thursday on contempt of court
sentence three years old, became hys-
terical and Jail physicians were called
to quiet them. One woman, about to
become a mother, was reported to be
suffering severe nervous shock.
Warden Westbrook said that after
each of more than 900 prisoners had
visitor on recent visiting day pack
ages left mounted so high it required
the entire Jail force nearly all night
to sort them. 1t was said that guns,
saws, files, drugs, and all manner of
contraband came into the Jail.
The warden then decided to divide
the Jail into four sections and permit
only fourth of the prisoners to have
visitors at time.

Building-Loan
Association Is
: Open for Business

There was a meeting of the board
of directors of The Palatka Building
and Loan association at the associa-
tion rooms in the Merryday building
on Saturday evening.
Clifton W. Loveland, the secretary,
reported that all plans were perfect
ed and the books ready and the di-
rectors authorized him to begin busi-
ness on Monday morning. He also
reported that certain of the so-called
3 per cent loan companies had made
surveys of Palatka with the idea of
opening business here and that he
had written the state comptroller
and that Mr.. Amos had replied that
these companies have features in
their plan which do not appeal to
him as being desirable from the
standpoint of an investor or borrow
er.
The directors expressed pleasure
at the equipment secured for the as
sociation rooms and stated that the
prospects. for successful business
were bright.
Although the association had not
advertised to be- open for business,
about $4,000 worth of shares have
already been subscribed for. The
plans of the association have been
laid out on basis to earn 8 per cent
per annum for the depositors, and it
is believed that so attractive a rate
of interest will be real drawing
card to small investors, especially as
they can feel that their funds are
safe since tehy will be invested in
improved real estate in Palatka and
vicinity. The directors wish to en-
phasize these most desirable features
of the association from a saving
standpoint. A deposit of but 25 cents
per week will produce $100 in less
than Z years and the depositor be-
comes a member of the association
with power to vote,
The association has already had
many applications for loans to help
build houses in Pala4ka.

Secretary Davis Issues an
Optimistic Survey of
Situation
RECORD CONSTRUCTION
Industrial Operations in
April Show a Big
Gain

| Washington, May 8.-Employment
conditions in the United States dem
onstrate that there is widespread
industrial awakening extending from
coast to coast" Secretary Of Labor
Davis declared today, commenting
upon Investigations and reports made
by the federal employment service.
Although there are STEW dark
spots" in which considerable unem-
ployment is yet reported, Mr., Davis
added, the entire country can be said
to have come out of depression.
"The farm situation is decidedly
encouraging" Mr.. Davis said. "The
demand for farm help from all sec
tions of the country is Indicative Of
the optimistic attitude of the farm
er. AS there are 6,44S,0O0 farms in
the country, they will absorb a tre-
mendous amount of labor.
"New York state reports a great
decrease in unemployment. There is
revival of business in the New
England states, Notwithstanding the
suspension in textiles. l am pleased
to advise that reports coming from
New Jersey state that building and
contract operations are now in full
swing. They are encouraging out
side workers to come to their state,
especially in the building lines. Ohio
reports increased activity along all
lines. Pennsylvania is showing de-
cided improvement in industry.
"There is considerable improve
ment in Indiana. The federal direc-
tor of Spokane, Wash, under date of
April %, reports labor conditions
throughout the state as showing
gradual improvement. Farm help is
| in demand, with slight shortage.
There is an increase in building op-
erations. Under date of April 29 the
, federal director for Kansas reports
that weather conditions are unfavor-
able, retarding industrial upward
movement, but that the prospects
are very encouraging.
"There has been a large absorp-
tion of labor in Baltimore, Md. Great
building activity is going on at that
point. Kentucky has not shown
much change in activity in the past
mouth. The west north central dis
trict, comprising the state sof Min
nesota, Iowa, Missouri, North Da-
kota, South Dakota, Nebraska and
Kansas, are all entering upon an era
of considerable activity. In some OF
these sections, especially North Da-
kota, there is an actual shortage of
experienced farm help"

tanning more than 500 men search

Chases Chang Through

No Further
ALL BRIDGES BURNED
WI Is Now Being Attack
ed by New Forces
From South

Tientsin, May 8-General WI Pei
Flu, who came to Tientsin from Pe-
king in pursuit of the Manchuriann
governor Chang Tso-Lin, was ordered
yesterday by the allied military COM
.manders here to leave the city, as his
presence was held to be in violation OF
the 1901 protocol. He refused to
leave on ythe ground that he was the.
acting governor of Chilli province and
would remain as long as necessary
for his purposes. 3
The bridges between this city and
Taku, on the south side of the Hun
river estuary, were burned by The re-
treating members of Chang Tso-Lin's
army. Two thousand of Chang's SOL
diers were reported yesterday in
Tangku, on the north side Of the river,
where their. demands for trains to con-
vey them to Mukden were fruitless,s
no locomotives being abailable. Free
quent attempts at telephone commu-'
nication with Tanku last night were,
unsuccessful.
Should WI accede to the allied de-
mands to leave, he would have to move
back toward Picking, as rail corimu-
iacation to the east and north has
been severed by the burning Of the
bridges, and a Japanese destroyer is.
preventing the dispatch Of his forces
down the river in barges. The situa-
tion, therefore, is that, while Chang
Tso-Lip had uninterrupted use Of the
Mukden railway for two weeks during
his offensive operations, his pursuer
is now unable to use the road to COM
Eplete his victory.
| A tug conveying the commander of
the British cruiser Curlew to this city
yesterday came between the hostile
troops on river banks who are firing
continuously. The British gunboat
| Narration was sent down river to con-
vey the tug here. e
Numbers of Manchurian soldiers
were discovered last night south of
the former German concession here.
American and Chinese guards, armed
with machine gun, were ready to
beat off any attempt at invasion, but
the men proved quite docile, and are
reported to have agreed to lay down
their arms if given food.
