the ringleaders from their cells one
at time and whipped them. Dis
pleasure of the prisoners over a
change in the method Of admitting

The riot started on the fourth tier.
Flaming blankets were dropped to

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. Four babies who were
locked up when their mothers and
two other women were committed

APPROPRIATIONS FOR
CARE OF DEPENDENTS
FOUND TO Be SAVING

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.-County OF I
ficers in many states are finding Il
sound economy to make appropriations
for local care of dependent, defective
or delinquent children, rather than tc
allow this work to be carried on by in
dividuals or other private groups, ac-
cording to a report by the children's
bureau of the United States depart
ment of labor
Administration of care of neglected,
handicapped or delinquent children
by local boards of citizens, employing
trained workers aided by state boards
is, according TO the summary, the plan
which IS gaining approval in a con-
stantly increasing number of states.
Within recent years laws requiring
or permitting some for of county well
fare organization of broad scopes have,
been passed in Arkansas, Minnesota,
Missouri, North Carolina and Virginia,
while individual counties, private agen.
cies, or state boards in Alabama, Cali
fornia, Florida, New Jersey, Penn
sylvania and South Carolina are work
ing out similar plans without. special
legislative action. County organization
concerned mainly with the care of de-
pendent children is found in Arizona,
Indiana, New York and Ohio.
Depended on Individual
In the past, the report said, the de-
velopment of preventative and con-
structive activities for children in
rural sections usually depended on the
willingness of some private individual
or group to assume the financial op.
legations. The recent rapid growth
of county welfare work has come about
largely as a result of the development
Of statewide plans, but a local organi-
zation is usually put into effect only
after the county has indicated desire
for it,
While it was found that plans are
not alike in any two states because
of variations in local conditions, the
basic principles are in agreement. "
The general tendency is in the direct
ion of broad, co-ordinated programs,
according to the report.

New Garden township and Fountain
City people complain that the highway
was frequently impossible last winter
and, they say, the same condition will
again be experienced this coming win

gravel has been worn off the road be-
tween Chester and Fountain City.
There are numerous parts of the road
where the surface has been worn
through to the large boulders put down
last winter to hold up sections where
the entire base of the road collapsed.
Last winter following heavy thaws,
many vehicles, particularly heavy
trucks and motor hacks, became mired.

Old Bridge Closed.
The closing of the old covered wood
bridge on the Richmond-Ft. Wayne
pike at the southern edge of Fountain
City yesterday probably averted a
tragedy. An examination of the bridge
by road repairmen resulted in the dis
covery that one of the two large floor
beams had been split through. The
structure would probably have col
lapsed when the first heavy vehicle
attempted to pass through it.
Rpairs are now being made to the
bridge and it is expected it will again
be open to traffic within day of two.
