VOL. LIV. NO. 81 PRISONERS ATTEMPT TO DESTROY PEN Set Fire to Buildings and Rush Guards?Six Con victs Are Shot Pittsburg:, July 18.?Prisoners in the western penitentiary here today broke all bounds of dicip line, fired four buildings and tor a time kejpit the institution in an up roar,, wnile prison guards, deputy sheriffs and policemen, reinforced by" armed citizens, battled to put down the disorder. Six convicts were shot and two others cut in the battle^ Prison officials said that (three or lour of the wound ed would likely die. "The outbreak," timed to start with the ringing of: the first fire gong, began in the dining room where the convicts sought to de tract ?the attention of guards from the fires," prison officials said. .". Alarms sounded from tour places in the in tsi tut Ion almost simul taneously when guards discovered the prisoners had fired the build ings with ny material available. Some six hundred prisoners had just taken their seats in the big din ins: room when one of ithem sent a soup bowl careening down one of the long tables. Instantly the room was in an uproar, for at the same moment the fire gong sounded an alarm from the con struction shop, the linen shop, the kitchen and the chapel. The guards in the dining room tried to quell the outbreak, but the thoroughly maddened prison ers pelted them with tableware and cutlery, all the time shieking and howling. The lire department finding the blaze was beyond its control, called the city firemen, while riot calls were sent in tor ?he police. Meantime the guards, in the dining room, had regained, in part, their control and forced some of the men back to their cells, but 200 or more dashed for the prison yard, and when faced by other guards backed into a building and ran for a "top of a tier of cells. From this vanitage point they pelted the guards, now reinforced by every available man in the prison, with bricks torn from the top of the wall. Deputy sheriffs and police from every pre cinict in the city soon added no the fighting force within the enclosure aid it was not long"until the pris oners had been chased from the wall to tfc^ir cells. They signaliz ed their reincarceration by break ing the glass in the windows and bhrieking and howling to the ithou bands of persons gathered in the streets, and filling the house tops .nearby. > Within j two . hours ? the fire was ^.jmder control but .not until a number of .h.uildings had been de stroyed with an estimated loss in ?excess of $o0.000. . ; ? John M. Egan, parole officer, af ,ier quiet had been restored, said that the outbreak was the result of a period of discontent among the 1,135 persons confined in the institution. About 800 of these, he said, were long term men, many of them desperate criminals. Re cently a party of convicts was brought here from the eastern penitentiary in Philadelphia. These men and women, Mr. ?gan said, made many demands which were not recognized in any penal institution, but which, when de nied, only added to the discon tent. So many cell locks were broken that tonight picked men from ithe Pittsburg police are on guard in the corridors, while outside, the streets are heavily patrolled. RACIAL EQUALITY TALK IS PROBED People Should Bear Tra dition in Mind, Says Judge Miami, July 18?The Dade county grand jury which convened today, began an investigation of the kidnapping last night of the i Rev. Phillip b. Irwin, white pas-, tor of colored church here, who was whipped, tarred and feathered and then dumped out of an auto mobile into one of the main streets - of Miami. j Irwin's alleged doctrines of rac- j ial eqnaiity were said to have pro-j yojed the attack. In his charge j to the jury, Judge Brannig said: j "The court suggests that while i this country allows freedom " of j speech, one exercising this consti-1 tutional privilege should advise j himself or bear in mind the time j honored traditions of a people." I Although Irwin was given forty eight hours to leave tne country i by the eight masked men who seiz ed him, he declared today that he would remain in Miami a,nd con tinue" in his pulpit. ''However," he added, "they won't find me so easily if they come after me again. Irwin told the grand jury that he would not be able to identify any of the men. He is a British subject, but declared he had no intention of reporting the matter to the British vice consul here, saying it would be an insult to the American flag if he appealed to him for protection. ?uring the war, Irwin was close ly watched by federal authorities after he was alleged to have ad dressed N?ssau negroes to resist United States draft laws?

AIRMENSEND GERMAN SHIP TO BOTTOM Old Ship Withstands Many Attacks But Fin ally Gives Up and Goes to Bottom I On board the Destroyer Leary, En Route to NortoiK, Va.. Juiy 15. ;?(By the Associated Press).? Bomoing aircraft destroyed the fonmer German hgnt cruiser Frankfurt late today sixty miles east of the Virginia Capes alter an ail-day attach whien both navy and army air officers had be gun to fear would be unsuccessful. A bomb which failed to hit the target, but exploded in it he water close by the starboard side near the bow, sent the cruiser down. Up to tne time this bomo, a 6 00 pounder, was launched at 4:22 p. m., by an army Martin plane irom 1 L?ngiey Field" Va., the Frankfurt j had withstod eleven direct hits, i five of them "duds," without be- | ing vitally damaged and prepara- | tions for a gun lire attack on i her by live destroyers had been put underway. As the bomb left its carriage under tne great wings of tue M?r tin plane from an attitude of I about 1,600 fe"et, it appeared as i though it would strike on the fore castle deck. It missed by a scant i few'feet and upon striking tne ; water exploded with terrific iorce. The. Frankfurt literally was rorc- i ed up several feet by the concus- | sion and upon settling down after j rocking and rojling lor a minute or two she began to go down grad dally by the head. Another army Martin plane put two other 600-n>sund bombs close by the port bow and these were believed to have hastened the end. The cruiser's bow filled slowly and in twenty minutes her forecastle deck began eolng under. The end was not long delayed then as the ship had sunk low" enough for the water to rush through two gaping holes in the hull at the upper deck caused by the explosion ~of bombs dropped earlier in the day. Twenty-eight minutes after it began to settle the battered and twisted bulk disappeared, the main mast, which had been weak-1 ened by the explosion of one bomb, snapping off as the once proud ship took the final plunge amid cheers from the crews of the ob serving battleships, destroyers and other surface craft. Brig. Gen. Mitchell, assistant chief of the army air service, whose declaration before a con gressional committee some months ago that aircraft tast were making capital ships obsolete caused some thing of a sensation, circled around the sinking hull in a last pursuit plane in which he had ac companied to sea the fleet of big uomoers under Capt. Lawton, which destroyed the cruiser. In all 78 bombs, 57 of 250 and 300 pounds, and 21 of 520 and 600 pounds, were launched at the Frankfurt by naval and army air craft which came S5 miles from Hampton Roads and Langley Field- The navy machines were the first to attack, beginning at 9.12 a. m. and noe direct hit was scored by the first division of F-5 L seaplanes to go into action.

July 19?The rail roads or' the state have been in formed by the South Carolina Rail road Commission that the recent ly proposed revised schedule of freight rates on cotton was not ; acceptable. A hearing is to be ! called by the commission at an early date, but as yet no date for j this has been set. ! The railroads proposed a read | justment of cotton rates, lower on i short hauls, but higher on hauls I of more than 130 miles. The rail I road commission has received pro j tests from cotton men. and one i railroad that bad publisher! the j revised tariff has withdrawn it. : this being the Piedmont & North I ern. an electric line operating ! from Greenwood to Anderson and j Grenville to Spartanburg. i The rates it was found, was a i reduction on short hauls, but this ' was of no benefit to the cotton ! planter or buyer, because of the ! fact that motor trucks are use:l ! so generally now for the very short hauls. For the longer hauls the new rate proposed was an ad vance, so that the railroad com mission took the position that to allow the new rates would work a hardship rather than a benefit on the cotton interests. No official order has been issued by the com mission and this will not likely be done until after the hearing' with cotton men and railroad of ficials.

The exposition company also gave the city of San Francisco the huge exposition auditorium here and its organ. The last dem ocratic national convention was held in the auditorium. Another gift to the city result ing from the exposition, is an area of four blocks along the Marina, a bay front stretch of the exposition grounds not far inside the Golden Gate.

COTTON LOOKS MORE OPTIMISTIC END Ex-Governor Manning Reports a Brighter Out look For Cotton Con ditions Columbia. July 19?-If the gov ernment's figures, predicting an acreage reduction of approximate ly 2S per cent, are correct, then cotton will go higher; if this es timates is incorrect, then the price of the South's staple will go low er, but the salvation of the finan cial situation facing the cotton producer is a matter for him alone, and he need not expect outisde aid. This is the substance of in formation brought by Former Gov ernor R. . I. Manning f rom the World's Cotton Conference, held in Liverpood and Manchester,! from which Mr. Manning has just returned. The eyes of the English manu facturers and of the world are on the present cotton crop in the south. Governor Manning was told in England. The future price of cotton deepnds on how large the 1921 crop will be. Governor Man ning says the cotton men of the world make it plain that if the cotton farmer is to get a fair liv ing out of the staple& it is up to him to work out his own salvation. The southern afrmer must make his farm self-supporting; cotton growers must cooperate in market ing, and cotton must be exported as the demand warrants. With the present supply, exportation is the hope. Governor Manning said: Over one hunderd Americans at tended the cotton conference in England. The International Asso ciation of Cotton Growers was or ganized during the conference and D. R. Coker of Hartsville, was elected president. The Americans were received with cordiality on the part of the Englismen. Givernor Manning spoke inter estingly to newspaper men today of his trip. He told of .the enthu siasm with which the settlement of the coal strike was received. He told of the spirit of optimism with which the English are facing their present situation, due to the reconstruction period. He said that England is bearing a heavy burden, as well as is America. The income tax ranges from one-third to one-half of the Englishman's income. Speaking of the exportation of cotton. Governor Manning stated today that the American! roducts Exports and imports Corporation of which he is president, has seen a steady increase, in exportation of cotton, and that recently the demand for cotton abroad has shown an increase.
