...week spread to the Federal penitentiary at Leavenworth, Kan. It infected U. S. convicts with a fit of riotous fury which took six hours to cure. The prison temperature was 100°. Spanish rice was repeated at the noon mess. Nine hundred of the penitentiary's 3,758 inmates rebelled, threw their food and plates about, broke windows, seized knives and forks. Ordered back to their cells, they bolted for the prison yard where they screamed curses, milled about frantically, became altogether unruly. When a fire hose failed to break them, guards opened fire with riot guns. One convict was killed...
...Connecticut constitution requires a governor to sign all legislation within three days of the adjournment of a legislature. In the last ten years, Connecticut governors have approved bills leisurely, long after the three-day period. Last week the Connecticut supreme court of errors threw the state's legal machinery into serious confusion by invalidating, through a test case, 1,493 laws, large and small, which governors had thus signed unconstitutionally.

A "lemon squeezer" movement was being applied to the invaders when an armistice ended the "war," leaving 43,750 dead and wounded on the battlefield...

Officials refused to allow Kieselhorst his record because of a "tail wind." For the first time, three intercollegians threw the javelin more than 200 feet-Stanford's Leo Kibby winning with...
...ones. McGrath smacked a single to right and the tying runs came in leaving men on first and third. It was here that the Rhode Island defense weakened and the game was lost and won. McKenzie, behind the bat, foolishly tried to catch McGrath as he went down and threw the ball into centerfield, Nugent scoring. And then to complete the damage, the centerfielder heaved past third and McGrath trotted in with Harvard's final fally. HARVARD a.b. r. h. p.o. a. e.
