Set Several Buildings on Fire—Na- tional Guard Called Out—Finally Driven to Cellhouse by a Rainstorm. Joliet, TIl, June 5.—Serious rioting among convicts at the state prison here broke out today. Several build- ings were set on fire. Copmpanies E and F of the First Illindis infantry, now in federal service, and encamped near here, were called to assist the guards in quelling the disturbance.

Detroit., THE FRISBIE-McCORMICK CO. 52 Shetucket Street, Norwich which responded to the alarm, met op- position from the convicts, who used bricks and tools stolen from the im- plement house as weapons. There were some knives among them also. The buildings fired include the rat- tan and chair factories, which are of considerable size, and the chapel The first work of the soldiers was to clear the convicts away from the blaz- ing buildings so that the firemen could work. This was quickly accomplished and ghen the soldiers began heading them toward the ceils. The infantry- men were instructed not to shoot un- less to save their own lives. Mr. Bowen, temporary warden, yes- terday issued orders that no visitors except relatives would be received at the prison. This is said to have in- censed the prisoners. 1,200 Convicts in the Prisan. There are about 1,200 convicts and the situation soon got beyond the con- trol of the 50 guards. The temporary warden telegraphed to Governor Low- den for military assistance. For some time there have been re- ports of lax discipline at the prison, and conditions were the subject of a recent investigation-by a legislative committee. Warden Zimmer resigned some time ago voluntarily to accept another position in Chicago. His suc- cessor has not been appointed and Mr. Bowen has been acting temporarily. Yesterday, in the interests of disci- pline, he instructed that hereafter no visitors except relatives would be ad- mitted to the grounds. Anger at the order first made itself apparent at breakfast today. Dishes were hurled at the guards, tables over- turned and the convicts surged into the grounds, shouting and making threats. They seized what missiles and weapons they eould and obtained more from the implement house. They set fire to the rattan shop twice, the first blaze having proved abortive. Other fires followed. Firemen from this city responded to an alarm, but were op- posed by the convicts, who threw vel- leys of bricks at them. Chief Royce was knocked down, but was rescued by his men. The battle was proceeding briskly when the soldiers arrived. The troops were ordered to hold their fire, and although outnumbered nine to one they began an orderly at- tack with bayonets and ciubbed rifles. In the course of the fighting Peter Waters, a guard, was injured, and three convicts were wounded by bayo- net thrusts. Capt. H. C. Ridgway of B company was guarding ‘solitary” when he was attacked by a big convict. There was a_terrific encounter for a moment un- il the soldier knocked his assailant unconscious with a blow from his pis- tol. The soldiers gradually forced the scattered groups of convicts to a_cor- er of the yard. The work was ham- red by darkness caused by the smoke of the burning buildings. Acting on the order of their commanders, the soldiers fired several volleys, aiming jhigh €0 as not to kill. The shots had n.immediate effect om the spirits of the convicts. At noon it was declared that the fires in three of the five bui'dinzs were under control. Captain Ridgway or- dered his men to keep the convicts in a corner of the yard- remote from the fires. The injured were taken-to the prison hospital for treatment. Soldiers and prison guards were posted on the walls as eoon as the hand-to-hand struggles ceased, to guard against escapes. Officials said only a count of the prisoners would shpw with cer- tainty whether any convicts had es- caped. The stubborn 200 held out until 3 o'clock, when a rainstorm broke over them and accomplished what the sol- diers had been unable to do, drive them”to the cellnouse. The men had faced the bayonets for hours, but when the ciouds opened and the deluge came they hesitated a few moments, then with a vell broke for shelter. ONE PRISONER KILLED EIGHT SEVERELY INJURED During Three Outbreaks at the State Prison at Joliet, III. Joliet, Tils., June 5.—After one pris- oner had been killed, eight severely in- jured and several others hurt today during three riotous outbreaks at the state prison by a thousand convicts, a rainstorm drove the last 200 of the mutiners to the cell housé although they had stubbornly refused to move before the bayonets of the national guardsmen who_ quelled the outbreak. Fires set within the prison ings destroyed the prison buildings, entailing a total loss of $200,000. Several _other buildings were damaged by the flames. John Murphy, life convict, sald to be the leader of the riot, suffered a frac- tured skull when he was struck by a guard with a clubbed rifle. There were three riots during the day, but the disorder was almost con- tinuous from the first outbreak until order was -finally restored by troops. Al offenders are locked in cells to- night. The first disorder came at breakfast when 900 convicts showed displeasure over an order issued by ‘Warden Bowen that hereafter prison- ers could recelve no visttors except relatives. John Flaherty, a life convict, was killed by jumping from a window. vard's IS THE GERMAN ARMY BECOMING DISCOURAGED? Information to That Effect Has Reach- ed Canadian Army Headquarters.

The despatch asserts that “as the man power fails Germany is turni more and more towards machine in the use of which there has been an increase.
