Michigan Convicts Create Se- I

rious Disturbance."
ONE PRISONER SBQT DOWN
Palis to Halt When Ordered and la
Stopped by Bullet From a Guard.
Presence of 8tata Troops Puts an
End to the Outbreak.
Jackson, Mich., Sept. 4.—Rioting
among convicts confined in bull pens
baa broken out and the men are now
In the prison yard with the officials
exerting .every effort to keep them
from going over the walls. Local
companies of the state militia were
ordered to the prison at once and, it
is said, have orders to shoot tbe first
prisoner who attempts to scale the
walls.
One fleeing convict, failing to halt
when ordered, was shot down by a
guard. The prisoner was running
•cross the yard when told to stop.
The fire department was called to
the scene, fires having been started by
the convicts.
When the prisoners entered the yard
they began ruining everything within
reach and fearing they would set the
factories on fire, the city fire departs
stent was summoned.
About seventy-five convicts were in
the bull pens, which were opened by
the inmates, and practically every
prisoner obtained weapons of some
kind. Knives, hammers, barrel staves,,
etc., were used by the convicts in an
endeavor to overpower the guard sta
tioned Inside the prison walls.
On seeing the fire department enter
the prison yard many of the rioters
fled into the prison, while others hid
In the various factory buildings hoping
to climb over the walls when an ob
portunity presented.
It is said that during the excite
ment three convicts scaled the walls
and now are at large.
As fast as the members of the two
local national guard companies are
rounded up they are being rushed to
the prison in automobiles.
An hour after the outbreak the con
•lets apparently had been cowed by
the presence of national guard com
panies and firemen, who hurried to the
scene. There were no fatalities, hut
considerable property was damaged.
The convicts were locked In their
«ells.

INSPECTOR N. C. MACDONALD
MAKES COMPARISON-^ FAVOR
CV' OF NEIGHBORS.
North Dakota is behind Canada in
the conduct of its rural schools, effi
ciency in training and pay of teachers,
is the cdnclusion arrived at by N. C.
Macdonald, state inspector-of. schools,
who has just returned from a trip
•through Canada to study the system
of rural schools. Mr. Macdonald says:
•Within the past two weeks I have
been in the province of Manitoba vis
iting schools, il made this trip at my
own expense to* secure some more in
formation at first hand concerning
their rural schools- I visited several
rural and town schools, besides con
ferring with the minister of education
and his assistants. In a few essential
respects their country schools are
much In advance of ours. This is so

qualifications of teachers, consolida

Impress Y. W. C. A.
MI8S GOLDA B- NELSON, ONE OF
THE DELEGATES, WRITES
INTERESTING LETTER.
Miss Golda B. Nelson, teacher of
Latin at the State 'Normal school, a
delegate to the Y. W. C, A. convention
at 'Lake Geneva, Wis., has written an
interesting letter to the Times-Record,
telling how the North Dakota dele
gates have been received and what
an impression representatives of this
state have made upon the convention.
Miss Nelson writes:
"The state of North Dakota is well
represented in the great Y. W. C. A.
convention, in session on the shores
of Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. This
convention is comprised of delegates
from the north central and central
territories of the United States, includ
ing girls from various nations across
the seas: China, Japan, India and
others. There are twenty representa
tives from the Colleges and Normals
of North (Dakota and the largest num
ber from any one of these is from the
State 'Normal of Valley City, the only
two Daculty members in the delegation
being also from our Normal.
Far Away North Dakota.
"Folks here seem to have a well de
fined feeling that North Dakota bor
ders on the North (Pole, and that bear
meat and venison must surely be our
regular diet as the natural result of
the life of hunting and pioneer 'ad
venturing' which we Tevel in up there.
It becomes quit€ funny when even
Minneapolis girls lift up their hands
and exclaim, 'From iNorth Dakota! Oh,
how far you girls have come!'
"In consequence of these incessant
remarks, when ''Stunt Day' last Tues
day arrived, the girts of the North
Dakota delegation carried out the idea
by presenting most effectively "The
Star of the Frozen North,' a sort of
moving tableau affair with appropri
ately chilling 'Iciclian' songs improvis
ed for the occasion.
Beautiful Camp.
'It is hard to imagine a more beau
tiful camping site than this—the clear
lake stretching before us, the wooded
hills behind us, everywhere charming
nookg and delightful views. We feel,
indeed that 'tis a fine thing just to be
living^ and we are glad to be here."
TO KEEP HIS VOICE Hi SHAPE
Roosevelt Will Carry Physician Dur
ing Western Trip.
On Board Roosevelt's Train, Sept
4.—That Colonel Roosevelt realized
his Western swing would be about the
most strenuous campaigning he ever
did was indicated in the announce
ment that in addition to the colonel's
entourage at St. Louis would be a
physician.
Roosevelt's luggage includes two
huge oxygen tanks for use to keep the
colonel's throat in good working or
der.
Elated with the success with whlrh
he bowled over an Interlocutor In
Hartford, Conn., who might have be
come troublesome If allowed to go
unanswered, Roosevelt adopted the
method of Inviting Questions from his
hearers and he expected to keep that
up throughout the trip.
