WlffliR, RULING WITH

NAMES OF ' NEGROES

One Han Is Serving Time If The Penitentiary Of Wisconsin. SPECIAL TO THE TIMES1 CROWN I'OINT, Ind.. July 18 The "War Department this morning made public the list of slackers, now rated as deserters, for the part of the county outside of the cities of the north nd. The list Includes twenty-nine tames of men who registered for service but who could not be located afterwards. John Donnaha of this city, head ot the draft board, said today that Lake county's list would have been mucft smaller had It not been for a number of negroeg who were registered- "The Erie had a construction camp at Scherervilie and some smaller crews at other points along tbe line in the county. Nearly all of these men wre negroes and many or. tnem never heard from after they registered." he said. Our list was much larger when f first made it up." he ' continued, "hut we kept weeding: out the errors until It dwindled to twenty-six.- Several more were added by the federal officials. The abrupt ending cf the war caused some complication. Questionnaires had Just been sent out and the War Department at first announced that men, who had revived them did not need to mail them back. However, this ruling: was charged and 1 wre supposed to return their pai.tr?. Many did not learn of the second ruling and these were at first Included in the slacker list. The majority of thorn were reached by us and the difficulty was straightened out. Their names were taken from the list." Several of the man listed have disappeared and their families have not heasd from them. The board with the aid of federal authorities searched a long time for Bail C. Emmons, listed below, and only recently learned that he was serving a sentence in the Wisconsin penitentiary. Following is the list: Gust Alex. Shelly. Ind. Walter Appling. Palmer, Ind. Boses Baley.

SOME ANXIETY Contractors and bu'.lding tradesmen of North township kept an anxious ear turned toward Chicago today. Word had been received that Judge Landls was expected to hand down his ruling in wages and working conditions which were to 'be observed In Chicago. The same report has gained circulation at regular intervals since the matter was rirft put up to the federal judg and has failed to materialise. Judge Landis admits that there are many more angles to the proposition than he had anticipated and he says he is going into it thoroughly before he makes his findings. Only the bricklayers, carpenters and laborers have signed agreements in Hammond with the contractors to accept the Chicago scale. Several attempts were made last week to brinl an understanding betweu the contractors and ulasterers but without avail. The plasterers" union has only a sma'J j membership and all of these men are working on edd jobs', it Is said, which pay them the old scale or more, and they refuse to bind themselves to any agreement which may mean the accept 3nce of lower wages. numbers also have refused to sign up with the plumbing bosses and yesterday some contractors advertised in Chicago newspapers for men to work in Hammond under the Chicago agreement. The result was that the planners organization had several men pick eting Hohman street today watching for mn who might come to the city ; investigate the proposition. III! Ill BALLOT INDIANAPOLIS.

Rioting Breaks Out During Fire Which Partly Consumes Pennsylvania Prison PITTSBURGH. Pa.. Jury 18. A dozen or more prisoners at the old Weitern penitentiary are known to have been shot, some seriously wounded, and a large part of the historic old Pennsylvania prison is m rums this afternoon following a fire which started just after noon with a riot breaking out in the dining room at the same time. A number of prisoners were burned and seriously injured by falling timbers. At 2 : 30 o'clock the fire was believed to be under control, but the tumult within the prison had not been quelled at that time. Hurry calls were sent to New Brighton and Greensburg for troops of the state police. Prison guards, augmented by city police, deputy sheriffs and civilians, patrolled the prison yards to prevent the escape of hundreds of terrorstricken and desperate prisoners. In mid-afternoon there was a stream of doctors and nurses entering the prison gates in response to urgent calls from the prison authorities . Several buildings which were burned collapsed at 2 o'clock and again the prisoners began yelling and howling. Prisoners were making mad efforts to smash the bars to their windows as the heat grew intense. The buildings destroyed so far are the weaving shop, shoe, broom, tailoring shops, dining room, instruction room and several other structures. Just before 2-o'clock , the,re was a rattle of what appeared to be gun fire. Unconfirmed reports said that many prisoners had been shot in 4 resumption of the rioting. The confusion is so great within and without the prison that it is impossible to get accurate reports of what is taking place. The prison, one of the most famous in the country, was first built in 1816 and rebuilt in 1685. There are about 600 prisoners, according to the latest official records.
