HELLO GIRLS' ABILITY
Mutiny Follows Removal of War
den Liked by the Prisoners,
Further Outbreak Feared.
OSSINNING, N. Y„ July 24.—Mu-
tinous convicts, in open rebellion
against their keepers, to-day made an
attempt to destroy the entire Sing
Sing prison property by fire.
They set fire to the clothing manu
facturing building, in which all the
fhoes, clothing and like articles are
made. The fire was extinguished by
the prison Are department after it had
swept the shoeshop.
The entire penal population is be
ing kept under lock in fear of further
outbreaks.
Fire Laid to Trusties.
The attempt to burn the prison
building came early to-day after a
night of wild excitement in the prison.
When the warden, James H. Clan-
cey, was told of the threats, he di
rected that no prisoners, excepting
the trusties, should be allowed out of
their cells. It is believed that some
of the trusties, acting under orders ^f
their Imprisoned fellows, applied the
match to the clothing factory build
ing.
As the Are raged the criminals be
hind locked doors set up a terriAc din.
They shouted “Are,*' called vile names,
beat their doors and made the prison
hideous with noise.
“We want Kennedy,” came the
constant chant above the din.
Protest Warden’s Removal.
This protest against the removal of
the former -warden, who was indicted
by the Westchester County Grand
Jury, was the keynote of the entire
rebellion that for 36 hours has had
the State’s largest penal institution in
a state of mutiny.
All night long the convicts kept up
their riotous demonstration. They
made the food the Arst basis of com
plaint. They contemptuously tossed
away bits of food and went to their
cells surly and disobedient.
Guards are on duty to-day all along
the prison walls, the oAlcers fearing
that the sullen convicts may make a
concerted effort to escape.
Seeking to relieve the perilous sit
uation at the prison, Warden Clancey
this afternoon made arrangements
with the railroad to take 200 second
and third term prisoners to Auburn
to-morrow. With these riotous pris
oners out of the way, the warden be
lieves he can restore ord^r in the in
stitution.
Sewage Plant To Be
Finished by Sept. 1
W A. Hansel, assistant chief of
construction, has announced that the
Peachtree Creek sewage disposal
plant will be ready for operation by
September 1. With the completion of
this plant Peachtree Creek, about
which there has been much complaint,
immediately will be purified.
The main part of the plant practi
cally is complete, but the city has not
yet been able to get sufficient stone
for the Alter beds.

‘NEW YORK, July 24.—The Gov
ernment’s real object in secretly in

STONY CREEK FLOW SOUTH?
NOBLESVILLE, IND. f July 24.—
Nine hundred pint and quart bottles
of whisky and beer were dumped into
Stony Creek to-day by the Chief of
Police.
If you do not believe the simple life
is conducive to better work, ask some
of the heads of departments of the
Bell Telephone Company. They’ll tell
you that since the establishment of
Camp Wyanoke at Lakewood Heights,
where the young women employees of
the company spend their vacations
and their week-ends, the work of the
“hallo girls,” the stenographers and
the other young women who work In
the big building at Mitchell and Pryor
streots, has greatly improved.
“The idea we had in mind when
Camp Wyanoke was established,”
Miss Katherine Tatum, who is in
charge of the camp, said, Thursday
morning, “is working out splendidly.
The girls come back to Atlanta after
a few days or a week’s stay at the
camp invigorated and almost with a
new lease on life. They have breathed
pure, fresh air; they have worked
about the camp, and they return to
their w*ork with a vim and a determi
nation that is usually lacking during
the hot summer months.”
Simple Life Throughout.
The simple life is lived in all its
phases at Camp Wyanoke. With the
exception of the harder and unfa
miliar work of cooking all the work is
done by the girls. They wash dishes,
wash their own clothing—or most of
It—keep house, sew and do a hundred
and one other tasks.
When work is done they go swim
ming and wading, or take long rides
in the automobiles the company rends
out to them several times a w r eek.
Every’ Wednesday and Saturday
nights there are dances and games of
various kind*.
The practice of sleeping in the open
air is considered by Miss Tatum one
of the best features of the camp. It
gives many girls who heretofore have
•been cooped up in tiny city rooms a
chance to recuperate.
Sunday School in Camp.
Every girl employed by the com
pany is given a chance to taste the
joys of camp life. Those who had
taken their vacations before the camn
was Installed have been given a leave
of absence of three or four days, that
they might visit the camp. Others
spend their entire vacation there.
There are always about twenty girls
at the camp, and on Saturday and
Sunday this number is sometimes
swelled to a hundred, by the girls who
come out to spend Sunday. Sunday
school is held in the open air under
the trees, and is usually attended by
about a hundred young women.
NEW G. S. AND F. AGENTS.
MACON.—Howard C. Montague has
been appointed commercial agent for
the Georgia. Southern and Florida
Railway at Chattanooga, vice James
F. Slowey, resigned. Harold L. Peters
Is appointed soliciting freight agent at
Tampa, succeeding Mr. Montague.
WASHINGTON, July 24.—The an
swer of the Interstate Commerce Cora j
mission to the application of the rail- |
roads east of the Mississippi and J
north of the Ohio and Potomac Rivers
for permission to make a general in
crease of 6 per cent in freight rates,
will be as follows:
1. The application will be denied.
2. All railroads will be ordered to
discontinue making “allowances" to
certain favored big industrial com
binations.
This will save the general public
from paying the additional $42,000,000
a year which the railroads are asking j
for and deprive certain big industriaJ I
corporations of a sum ranging be- I
tween $50,000,000 and $100,000,000 an
nually.
The Commission during the past j
few months has secretly made an in- j
vestigatlon to determine just the ex
tent to which the practice of making
"allowances” to industrial short line
railroads, owned by manufacturing
concerns, Is prevalent.
His Names and Facts.
It Is now In possession of the
names of the concerns which receive
these “allowances” or rebates, or dis
criminatory rates—nnd in addition it
has the names of the railroads which
pay them, the amounts received by
the favored industrial corporations
and something of the extent to which
the practice Injures the competing
manufacturers, who are not in a po
sition to enter Into such arrange
ments.
In a large number of instances, It is
claimed, the practice amounts to ex
tortion. The railroads are compelled
by the demands of competition to
make allowances to the manufacturer
for transferring his product over hie
own insignificant trackage to the
junction where the regular railroad
takes up his cars. Where several
railroads are bidding for such a man
ufacturers business the one which
makes the most liberal allowance
usually gets the freight
To End the Extortion.
In view of this fact It is expected
that the answer which the commis
sion will give the railroads will meet
with their approval and co-operation,
and will do away with the most Im
portant of existing improper prac
tices without the necessity of prose
cution.
The railroads are asking for the
five per cent Increase on the ground
/hat they must have increased rev
enue to pay their large operating
expenses, and particularly, to pay
the higher wages demanded by their
employees.
The recent demands for higher
wages would take $17,000,000.
Can Pay Wage Advance.
Under the order which the Inter
state Commerce Commission will is
sue the railroads will get more than
$42,000,000 by simply cutting off an
improper expense, and corresponding
ly, the favored trusts and combina
tions which have been mulcting them
of the amount will be deprived of It.
The railroads will be placed in a
position to pay their employees the
living wage they demand, the danger
of a huge strike will be avoided, and
the whole thing will be accomplished
without the shippers—and through
them the general public—being re
quired to pay more for the transpor
tation of the necessities of life.
Board at Work to
End Strike Deadlock
NEW YORK, July 24.—Hoping to
end the deadlock and avoid the
threatened strike of the 100,000 train
men on the Eastern railroads, the
Federal Board of Mediators to-day
went into consultation with the men’s
representatives Later the mediators
will meet the railway managers.
The deadlock is the result of the
Insistence of the employers that their
grievances also be arbitrated at the
same time the men’s demands are
taken up.
Settlement Sought
Of $14,000,000 Debt
WASHINGTON, July 24.—A debt
of $14,000,600. probably the largest
dispute of a financial nature in the
1’nlted States, will be the subject of a
conference in this city to-morrow.
Virginia is trying to collect that
amount from West Virginia and com
missions representing the Legisla
tures of both States will meet here
to-morrow and try to reach an agree
ment.
The debt arises out of West Vir
ginia’s withdrawing from Virginia a
half century ago and since refusing to
pay for improvement* Virginia made
Champ Clark Won’t
Let His Wife Fly
WASHINGTON, July 24. — The
yearning of Mrs. Champ Clark, wife
of the Speaker of the House, to en
gage in an aviation flight, while visit
ing Representative and Mrs. Baker,
at Wildwood, N. J,, received a setback
when the Speaker flatly refused to let
her go.
“I never talk back to Champ,” ch“
said. He Is master of his own house
and so i guess I won't fly Just now."
Democrat Is Elected
Arkansas Governor
LITTLE ROCK. July 24 —Latest
returns to-day showed George W.
Hays, Democrat, was elected Gover
nor of Arkansas by a. large majority.
The Republican, Progressive and So
cialist candidates were running far
behind.
The surprise of the election was the
failure of the Bull Moose faction to
display any strength. Colonel George
W. Murphy was a poor third.
Harry Meyers, Republican, carried
the normal Republican counties. Both
Democrats and Republicans before
the election predicted heavy losses to
the Progressives.
