New York The most serious rioting
since the transit strike in this city be
gan two weeks ago occurred Tuesday
night in various sections o f Manhattan
when'attempta were made to run cars
on tha Forty-second and Fifty-ninth
street croaatown surface lines. Moba
of strikers and their sympathisers
stormed two carbarns, overpowered
the police and put to flight all railway
employes in the vicinity.
Several motormen and conductors
who had not joined the strike were
beaten. Much property damage was
done before police reserves arrived.
The police assert that the strikers
took advantage of the fact that many
policemen were detailed to polling
booths in the primary election. The
strikers apparently planned their at
tacks, it was said, as disorders oc
curred in many places at the same
time.
At Forty-second street and Broad
way. one o f the busiest spots in the
city, a large crowd bombarded a car
with stones they had gathered from a
subway excavation.
The police reported late in the day
that all surface cars had been ordered
to the barns.
Numerous arrests were made and
many of the rioters were clubbed.
Several passengers were hurt by
missiles.
Later, the strikers attacked the ele
vated trains from housetops with bot
tles and bricks. Policemen then were
stationed on the roofs along elevated
routes.
A fter a citizens' committee had
failed to effect a basis of settlement
between the striking union car men
and their employers, it was announced
that apparently the only hope o f avert
ing a threatened sympathetic walkout
o f 700,000 workers, set for Friday,
lies in a final appeal to be made to the
labor leaders. The citizens' commit
tee probably will confer with Mayor
Mitchell and Oscar S. Straus, chair
man o f the public service commission
in an effort to find some solution of the
problem.
Fewer Irish Go Insane.
Dublin — Insanity in Ireland has
lately shown a decrease, chiefly among
women.
This is something new, as
Ireland's statistics for insanity have
always been unusually high.
The su
perintendent of the asylum at Belfast
declares the reason is due entirely to
the improved standard o f living and
to the restrictions on the liquor traffic.
Many who lived in poverty are now in
comparative luxury. There are solid
grounds for
hope that, especially
among women, Ireland will witness a

Many Paroled Men
Make Good Showing
Salem — Men paroled from the Ore
gon penitentiary under the plan pur-
eued by the preeent administration
have more than juatifled the confidence
placed in them by making good, mo-
cording to Joaeph Keller, state parole
officer.
With the new system now followed
in the release of convicts on |>arole,
they are Hret provided with employ
ment, and reports made by them to
the parole officer show that during the
last year paroled men earned a total of
$66,614.86. At the present time there
are 326 men on parole. Thirty-one
were recommended by the parole board
to Governor Withyrombe for executive
clemency this month. Of this number
26 were recommended for parole. Offi
cer Keller said that he hail found work
for nearly all of these prisoners.
Since the passage of the parole law
in 1911, the records show that 711
prisoners have been paroled. The per
centage of parole violations during
this time has been 29, and 26 per cent
during the preeent administration.
Of the 711 paroled men in the last
six years, 173 have been discharged
after having demonstrated that they
had made good outside the prison. In
the same period 76 parole violators
have been returned to the penitentiary,
and 136 violators were not returned.
