"Mutiny May Days Old, The' mutiny in the prison nas been going on for five days. It is a protest of the convicts against the management. The system used is the one in
their labor Instead of the 10 they are paid for nine hours of work. They have complained that the management is more anxious for a record of economy than for their welfare. The convicts have also complained of their food. In addition they have a grievance that their applications for pardons when they have served their minimum sentence with perfect deportment and good work are not given the consideration they deserve.

"Shortly after he took the drinks I noticed .something was wrong with him, but didn't think much of It as he had been drinking so much.

Miss Ford will be an important witness at the coroner's inquest which was continued in the hope that she might be found.

Rumors that the Gary Land company, of the steel corporation, will once more increase the price of its first subdivision lots were current today. The company only increases its prices during a healthy and rising market, and it is a singular fact that an Increase in prices Is always attended by still heavier sales following the adjustment. of lot figures. Officials of the Gary Land company would not discuss the truth or untruth. the rumor today. " "i'esterday the company did a regular "land-office business," there being sold in all some nineteen lots, mostly In the west Bide of the city. The. heaviest demand is for stuff north of Fifth avenue and it is being rapidly
settled by high-salaried tinplate employes. More than a score of residences and apartment buildings are going up In this district at the pres-

classes wil begin their studies in Oc-

The tranportatfen committee to
which the communication was referred thinks that there will be little diffi
culty in proving the present structure's inadequacy to the satisfaction of the
members of the commission.
The absence of all sanitary arrangements, and the depot's v crowded and filthy condition especially in the winter will be easily proven. In the mornings, during the coif weather the depot Is so crowded with workmen that
bulk of their attendance from among the foreigners and Superintendent Canine hopes this year that others will also participate in their benefits. The matter of the convention of federated commercial clubs to be held In Indiana Harbor October 3 and 4 was brought up. The Auditorium has been secured for the banquet and Matt Sternberg will probably do the catering. The club decided to make secretary Rutledo-e a member of the Pacific.
