Troops Ordered to Joliet,
Ne1U Riots Feared

JOLIET, ILL.,, March 18 Q.N.SD
To forestall further rioting by
thousands of enraged convicts,
militiamen are to be stationed at
the State penitentiaries here, it
was reported today.
A demand was made upon the
services of the guardsmen, it was
said, after officials learned a plot
was brewing to foment a new
mutiny, the proportions of which
would by far overshadoW the dis
orders of last Saturday, when
two prisoners were killed at the
old penitentiary.
Convicts Have Knives
A new outbreak, according to
Warden Henry C. Hill and his
aids, would be of unprecedented
seriousness because some Of the
cOnvictS now are possessed with
weapons. When they wrecked the
kitchen and dining hall Saturday,
they took several hundred knives.
Supposed ringleaders in Satur-
days riot have not been released
from their cells. They are living
on bread and coffee. They are
to be kept in confinement until
after the legislative committee
investigating prison conditions
meets here Friday.
CatcalIS Continue
Boos and catcallS, revealing the
sullen spirit Of the prisoners, still
resounded through the "big house
today.
Before the riotous prisoners are
restored to privileges, the 120

invention Of the imagination, he said, and has
no relation to the real nature Of matter. .
DR.. Tesla said he could think Of no results
Of great value which stem directly from these
modern conceptions. Virtually all progress"
he declared "has been achieved by physicists
diScoverers and inventors; in short devotees of
the science which Newton and his disciples have
been and are propounding.
Personally, it is only efforts in this direction
which have claimed my energies. Similar
marks might be made with respect to other
modern developments Of thought. Take, for
example the electron theory.
Perhaps no other has given rise to so many
erroneous ideas and chimerical hopes Every
body speaks Of electrons as something entirely
definite and real. Still, the fact Is that nobody
has isolated 1t and nobody has measured its
charge. Nor does anybody know what 1t
really Is
"In order to explain the observed phenomena
atomic structures have been imagined none of
which can possibly exist. But the worst iIlu-
sion to which modern thought has led is the
idea OF tmdeterminacy.' To make this clear
may remark that heretofore we have in posi-
tive science assumed that every effect Is the
result Of preceding cause.
"As far as I am concerned, can say that
after years OF concentrated thought and inves-
tigation there is no truth In nature Of which
would be more fully convinced. But the new
theories Of 'indeterminacy' state this is not
true, then an effect cannot be predicted in
advance.
eff two planets collide at certain time and
certain place. this is to the student of positive
science an inevitable result Of preceding inter-
actions between the bodies; and If our knowl-
edge would be adequate, we would be able to
foretell the event accurately.
"But In the spirit of the new theories this
would simply be an accident. 'Tndeterminacy'
introduces into the world of inert matter q
principle which might virtually be compared
with the universal Illusion of free will.

this holds true even In the most complex and
involved manifestations Of human life it holds
true with the same force In all the world of
matter"
9TH this pessimlStfc outlook expressed
Wv earlier In the interview DR.. Tesla was
not satisfied to contemplate the world spin
ming eternally around on it's orbit.

may collide with u.s."

gested. His reply had note of grim humor.

aphorisms. "a pitcher may go too often to

DR.. Tesla, the American inventor was born
at Smiljan Austrian Croatia, in 1857. He re-
ceived his early education at Karlstadt, at

and the University Of Prague He became in
terested In electricity and was first employed
In the Austrian government telegraph engineer
ing department and later in Budapest and
Paris. He was with the Edison Co., IN the
United States for time, but afterward estab-
hshed the Tesla Laboratory In New York City.
Mr.. Tesla was the first to conceive an effective
method of utilizing alternating current. He
invented the principle Of the rotary MAGNETIC
field embodied in the apparatus used in the
transmission of power from Niagara Falls as
well as many new forms Of electrical apparatus
DR.. Tesla has devoted a great deal Of thought
and study to the development Of the airplane,
and especially to q heavier than-air machine
that would ascend vertically. He also predicted

him credit for being the father Of radio" As
far back as the early nineties he delivered q
series of lectures in which he submitted draw
ings and plans that later gave ideas to men
who brought into being the wireless sets that
were used for telegraphic communication and
then gathered musical programs and what not

desert, while it is a commonplace to every one
here.
Speaking of technical achievements however

derful to those who have no knowledge Of the
mechanism or agents limiting the effect to the
cause.
''To be truly wonderful there must be about
the manifestations observed an element Of
mystery which the human race has not yet
fathomed
"That inanimate matter should run into
organic forms must be considered q wonder
because we have not yet ascertained why and
how this is brought about"
"You mean, for instance, food being changed
into tissue, so that life gees on?"
He nodded his head in the affirmative and
continued: THE human being is one Of the
greatest mysteries of nature and consequently

tons. But a time may come when all the subtle
and involved processes that are part Of our
living existence will be laid bare and under

removed"
A SKED to select his choice of the greatest
modern and future wonders, the electrical
wizard refused to accept the popular notion of
what is wonderful. His reply led him into on
sIaught on the scientists who have abandoned
"cause and effect" and who take the position
that there are accidents In nature and that
anything might happen.
ITO the popular mind" he said, "any mani
