Kansas Penitentiary Prisoners Mutiny
Below and Above Ground; One Shot
Lansing. Knns., June 21. —Mutiny
in the ranks of the convicts of the
Kansas penitentiary here flare<t up
above ground early tonight, while 32S
prisoners barricaded 720 feet under
the surface in the prison mine defied
officials of the institution.
Occupants of B. cell house over
powered three guards, looked the cell
house door and planned to burn the
I twine factory as a means of escap
ing the prison. The riot was brought
under control when the day guards,
who were just going off duty, were
‘hastily called back, equipped with shot
guns and began tiring on the rioters.
J. E. Thomas, one of the guards
in the cell house, which quartered
310 convicts, was stabbed twice in the
chest. A prisoner was shot in the
leg by Deputy Warden R. H. Huds
peth. in charge of the prison in the
absence of Warden W. H. Mackey.
Thomas' condition is not serious.
Before order linally was restored
the prison was being patrolled by lli»
guards armed with riot guns.
Nine prisoners were removed from
the cell house, marched across the
prison yard, and put in solitary con
finement. About a dozen knives and
clubs were taken from the rioting
prisoners.
The riot was belived to have been
part of the plot of the mutineers in
the mine, as it was in B. cell house

A Newspaperman’s Qualifications.
Mineral Wells Index.
A young man asked its our opin- j
ion about entering the newspaper
field. We answered this wise:
If he can listen with a smile to
tiresome things lie's heard oftimes j
before; if he can refuse to do what j
three or four people ask him to do
without making them mad; if he can}
write in away to make people
laugh when he feels like ensuin', or;
ill away to make them weep when)
he feels like cracking his heels to-j
gether and laughing out loud; if he
can remain silent when he feels like
he'll burst wide open if lie dons not
talk: if he can argue without get
ting mad or making the other fel
low mad; if he can refuse a woman’s
request for free publicity without
making all the members of her set
mad at the pa per: if he can react
to the loss of a good news story and
catch a better one on the rebound ; it
he can explain a typographical er
ror without using up more than 30
minutes’ time; if he can concentrate
and write intelligent copy while
three different conversations are go
ing on around him. several type
writers clicking away and the tele
phone ringing and the subdued hum
of the presses in the next room
drumming oil his ears; if he can ex
plain why Mrs. Jones's poem in "The
Sylvan Depth of October Woods”
did not appear in the paper without
her husband stopping his- advertis
ing; if lie can take a four-line story
and spread it to a half column, or
take a two-column story and con- •
dense it to two paragraphs; if he can
read proofs without overlooking an
error anfl write headlines without
murdering the king's English; if he
has a nose for news, an Itch for
writing and an inclination to work
15 hours a day. then we'd advise
him to get into the game.
leeless lee Soon to Be I'sed in Soda
Fountains.
Although today's soda fountain is
a marvel in mechanical ingenuity,
there are still many chnages in store '
for it, declares Norman S. Hall in an
artilce in this week's Liberty. "An
other soda-fountain revolution is prom
ised," Hall asserts, “when experts now
at work have perfected the solidifica
tion carbon dioxide, a kind of iceless
ice.
"Even now," the writer ]H>ints out,
“this substance is being used in ice
cream containers and for shipments.
A few months ago a firm in long
Island City. New York, successfully
shipped a cargo of ice cream to Buf
falo with no other preservative than
this solidified cartoon dioxide, which is
;140 degrees colder than ice.
"A disk of this chemical weighing
half a pound, placed in the bottom of
a quart container, will keep that
amount of ice cream twenty-four
hours. The day of the solidified car
bon-dioxide soda fountain, experts
assert, is about to dawn.”

that the convict miners were quar
tered.
No word had been received from
the men in the mine, who late this
morning overpowered the 14 guards
and bosses on duty in the workings,
and barricaded the cages in the shaft.
' The outbreak in the mine followed
a demonstration among the prisoners
for cigarettes, which are banned un
der the prison rules.
The ‘ prisoners in the cell house
overpowered the three guards, toqk
their keys, and looked them in a cell.
Thomas was stabbed during the en
counter. The convicts plan nod to
make a break for the twine factory
nearby, setf'it afire and escape during
the confusion. However, the guards
quickly rallied and the prisoners then
locked the cell house door.
Deputy Warden Husdpeth grabbed
a shotgun, climbed up to a window
and began firing on the prisoners,
shooting twice
Harry Baird, doing a life term for
murder at Wichita, called out that
the prisoners would surrender if the
shooting was stopped. The guards
rushed forward with their shotguns,
ami the prisoners opened the outer
cell door.
The deputy warden an hour after
the outbreak announced that the situa
tion was well in hand, and more ser
ious trouble was not expected.
'LOOK OFT JUNE 27TH
FOR PONS COMET
Will Come Within 3.500.000 Miles of
the Eearth and Be Visible to the
Naked Eye.
; New York World.
• A comet, wierdest of all heavenly
! phenomena, will be visible to the 1111-
; aided eye early on the morning of
June 27th. Only once before in his
tory has a comet been closer to earth,
; and that was in 1770. In addition,
} it will be the first time since Halley's
• comet made its celebrated appearance
jin 1910 that such a celestial visitor
j will be visible without the aid of a
! telescope.
At its nearest approach the comet,
j mimed after Pons-Winnecke. its dis
j coverers. will be a mere 3.500,000
miles away, .something like fourteen
j and a half times as far away as the
j moon, blit much nearer than any of
the other heavenly bodies.
A few minutes after midnight on
the morning of June 27th the comet
will be plainly found in the south
eastern sky in the zodoical constella
tion. Aquarius. At 3 a. m. it will,
he directly south of and near the star
Altair in the constellation Aqitiia. the
eagle. Altair is in the center of a
row of three bright stars.
I Persons who expect to see a bril
liant display in the sky will be disnp-
pointed. Officials at tlie Harvard
i observatory pointed out yesterday that
■ i! will have to be a very dark night
for it to be seen at nil. and even then
probably nothing more can be seen
than a faint patch of light. They
added that in its past visits this comet
never has shown any tail at all.
Although it is small, this comet has
a historic origin. It was in 1819
that it was discovered at Marseilles
by an astronomer named Pons. It
was lost sight of until 1853, when
Winnicke, a German astronomer,
found a comet and it proved to be the
same one I’ons hild discovered eight
eight years previously. It reappears
about every six years, but never has
been visible to the naked eye.
This year an American astronomer
in the Yerkes Observatory of the l.'ni
versity of Chicago sighted it first on
March 3rd. Although the largest re
flecting mirror in the world is part'of]
the Y'erkes equipment, the comet was
located by means of a reflector in I
which a concave mirror replaces the
convex lens of the refractor.
Comets nre so light and gaseous in
composition that thinnest wisps of
smoke or fog are coarse in compari
son. Even the smallest stars shine
through them undimmed. Nor does
the tail of a comet follow the comet
itself like a train. Instead it is a
luminous shadow, always opposite the I
sun. The tail of the great comet of:
1843 was 150,000,000 miles long and
3,000,000 miles wide. Tails of 25, 50
or 75,000,000 miles are by no means
unusual.
Only once, so far ns astronomers
know, has a comet come as close to the
earth as Pons-Winnicke. That was
in 1770. when LexeU’s comet came
withiu 1.400.000 miles, only six times j
the distance of the moon. Astrono- I
raers hardly dared to leave their tele- j
scopes for fear it might collide with {
part of the system of Jupiter. But |
nothing happened although the comet |
traversed the orbits of Jupiter’s four!
small moons from end to end.
Although the Pons-Winnecke comet'
will come forty times nearer the earth
than ever before, there is not the
slightest chtfnce of anything unusual ;
happening. Sinte it is finer than
mist, it would be possible for the comet
to collide with the earth and the ordi-!
nary person never would know it. i
The Pons-Winnecke comet made its
last appearance here in June 1921. At I
that time, as on its other visits, it was
not visible to the naked eye, .but
through a five-inch telescope it looked
exactly like an ordinary star of the
eighth magnitude, except for a baxe
that encircled it. Its distance from
the earth at that time was between
13,000,000 and 14,000,000 miles.
Comets are very peculiar bodies.
Consider the case of Beila’g comet, |
for example. It was scheduled to ]
cross the orbit of the earth on Oc
tober 29, 1832. It came and went
exactly on schedule. Sixteen years
later it was due to come back again.
It did, but imagine the consternation
of astronomers when two comets ap
peared, traveling side by side. The
comet bad been apiit without any
body ever knowing bow. |
Nor did the strange antica of Bella’s
comet end here. In 1873 it was
agaip announced for the night of No
vember 27th. No ctfmet appeared, bq*
in its place was six hours of shooting
stars. At one observatory in Europe

estimate that in all 100.00 stars fell.
They all came from a point near the
bright stqr Gamma in Andromeda, and
it was evident that Belia's comet had
broken up into pieces.
The most spectacular comet of all
history came in 1456. three years after
the capture of Constantinople by the
Turks. Its tail reached from the
horizon to the zenith. Christians be
lidved it signified the whole world wns
threatened by the infidels. The Turks
in turn, imagined it resembled a cross
and feared it even more than the
Chii stians. to whom it represented the
dreaded Turkish weapon, the yat
aghan.
Pope Cnllixtus 111. ordered the
church bells rung every day at noon
and a prayer to be said in effect:
"laird, save us from the devil, the
Tqrjt and the comet.”
In 1680 a comet excited such terror
in Europe that a medal was struck
and distributer! among the people to
allay their fears. The inscription
read: "The star threatens evil things;
trust only; God will turn them to
good!.”
In 1835 the appearance of Halley’s
comet was followed by death and de
struction over the whole world, al
though of course there was no con
nection. Immediately after the comet
became generally visible in the old
world the bubonic plague, generally
known as the “black death,” broke
out in Egypt. In the city Os Alex
andria alone 9.000 persons died in a
single day. By the Moslems this
calamity was generally attributed to
the' influence of the comet.
] In America the comet became visible
to the naked eye only late in the year.
I Shortly after its brief blaze over
North America the great New Y’ork
fire laid waste the entire business sec
tion of the largest city in the New
World. All the commercial center
of the city, including the richest firms
and largest warehouses, were laid in
ashes. In all 830 houses burned
' down and property valued at $18,000,-
! 000 was burned.
| In Florida at the same time, Os
ceola, the chieftain of the Seminole
I Indians, called upon the comet as a
I signal for war against the white. The
Indians called the comet “Big Knife
in the Sky.” ,
