W. W.’s Into Fight (Special to The Tribune.) Fargo, N. D., June 21—Both at the headquarters at the Gardner fotel and at the I. V. A. offices on Broad way confidence that the primary elec- tion June 30 will mean a smashing defeat of Townleyism is growing stronger as the election date is getting nearer. Chairman Torger Sinness considers the election practically won, but there will be no let up in the cam- paign and every ounce of energy at the command of the anti-Socialist Repub- lican headquarters will be applied to increase the lead over the Townley forces. Secretary Theodore Nelson of the Independent Voters’ association also predicts an overwhelming victory for the initiated and referred measures. Leaders of the campaign against state socialism are not losing any sleep over the much heralded onrus of league agitators after the Minne- sota primaries today. The whole horde of socialist spellbinders now on the’stump in our sister state east of the Red River will then be let loose in last hour desperate effort to save North Dakota for Townley. Chairman Sinness bases his predic- tions of victory not only on the large crowds attending and cordial hearing given the anti-Socialist speakers on the stump. and the splendid support given the Republican cause by the In- dependent newspapers of the state. but more particularly on reports from working organizations in the several counties.

Nearly a hundred automobiles trom Devils Lake and intermediate points braved the rain and! plowed through the mud, bringing several hundreds of outsiders to Edmore in honor of “Bill” Langer. Local showers prevailed over a large district, in places the roads were unusually heavy | and considerable difficulty was experienced by Langer enthusi- | asts, many. of whom covered a distance of up to forty miles in or- der to have the opportunity of hearing the workings of Townley-! ism explained by the leader in the fight.

Anticipating this move on the part of the big league boss, A. J. Gronna, candidate to succeed himself as Unit- ed States senator, and Attorney-Gen- eral William Langer, anti-Socialist candidate for governor. have issued an appeal to all the anti-Townley for- ces in the state to spend the last week in putting the finishing touches to the progressing Republican campaign. This appeal has met with splendid response, to such a degree that Chairman Sin- ness. who usually is very cautious in his statements, does not hesitate to predict an overwhelming victory. | Through the release of Kate Rich- ards O'Hare from the prison in Jet- ferson City, Missouri, Townley has re- ceived a new active ally in his fight against the farmers’ interests in North Dakota.

In a statement printed in the ‘Appeal to Reason for June 12, Kate O'Hare gives the farmers of North Dakota cause for rejoicing in the fol- lowing words: “We want Gene Debs free; we need him in the White House; we want the lowliest, the most ob- secure I.

Several more persons were killed in this morning’s fighting. The firing is being maintain- ed with desperate intensity. Business is suspended and the postmen are declining to de- liver mail. When the troops got the fighting stopped in one seetion, the dispatch adds, firing breaks out in another. Men Thrown in River From two to five o’clock this morning there was intermittent firing in many parts of the town. Between five and seven | o’clock three unionists were shot, one of whom was thrown into the river. Thereupon, a large body of unionists charged down Carlisle street, firing vol- ley after volley toward the na- tionalist stronghold in Bridge street. The Sinn Feiners _ re- turned the fire. The two sides maneuvered, keeping up a fusil- lade of revolver and pistol shots. Streets Deserted Troops with an armored car broke up the fighting tempor- arily at 10 o’clock this morning. Shops and schools were closed and many houses were barricad- ed. The streets were deserted by all except those fighting or protecting vantage points. The dock workers struck, declaring they would not handle freight until peace had been restored. The rioting, which started at 2 o’clock this morning after the troops had been withdrawn, con- tinued all day. Reports of ‘addi- tional casualties were received but travel was so dangerous on the streets that it was impossi- ble to obtain accurate informa- tion.

Jonas, alleged radical agitator and three negroes in connection with rioting in Chicago’s “black belt” last night, during which two white men were killed and two negroes seriously injured. The fighting followed the dis- persal of a crowd of negro mem- bers of the Star Order of Ethi- opa, an organization claiming to advocate return of the negro to Abyssinia and immediately aft- er one of the leaders of the pa- rade had set fire to an American flag. Police today emphasized that the rioting was not the result of racial feeling but more probably the result of a radical plot. They pointed out that negroes had co-operated in an effort to resent the insult to the flag. However, several incidents, including the maltreatment of three negro min- isters and many blacks occurring late in the night savored of race rioting. The negroes sought as leaders in the plot to burn the flag are Joseph Fer- nom who id to call himself “the great Abyssinian, his son and Grover Rebbing, who it is said claims to be a native of Abyssinia. The three negroes led the parade yesterday mounted on horses and wearing fan- tastic arraignment. Booming Thompson Jonas, who, police declared, was back of the movement for the return of negroes to Abyssinia yesterday was the principal speaker at a meet- ing which had as its object the launching of a boom for William Hale Thompson, mayor of Chicago, as a third party candidate for. president, who would “rally the solid Irish and negro vote.” The killing of the white men, who included Robert L. Rose, a sailor sta- tioned at Great Lakes, aroused hun- dreds of sailors on leave in Chicago and caused issuance of an order for the arrest and immediate dispatch to the Great Lakes naval station of all sailors found on the streets. The other white man killed was Joseph Hoyt, 59, a clerk in a cigar store near the scene of the shooting. He was shot with what is believed een a dum-dum bullet. His head was split as though with an axe. The negroes who were wounded in- cluded Joseph Owens, a policeman. Burned Flag One of the leaders of the proces- sions. believed to have been the elder Fernam, took a flag from a package which he was ‘ying and set fire to it, it was said. Policeman Owen was notified of the act, rushed to the scene and toward one of the men, his club raised as though to strike, witnesses said. One of the men on_horseb: it is de- clared, fired at him with a short rifle, wounding him with the first shot. Rose, the sailor, who had been turn- ing the south side with two compan- ions, sprang from an automobile and almost at the policeman’s side when the latter was shot, according to spectators He turned and ran into a nearby cigar store. Several men with rifles ran to the door of the cigat store and fired a revolver, ac- cording to persons near the scene. Two Drop Dead Rose and Hoyt. the cigar. store clerk, dropped dead. During the shooting a second flag was thrown on the flames but was rescued be- fore it was burned. Shortly after the rifle firing police sent out word for the arrest of Jonas. Before the order for his arrest was issued he was scen by a newspaper man and declared that he had noth- ing to do with the parade. He de- nounced Fernami as a radical and an agitator but when the police tried to locate him he had disappeared. Police today arrested Rebbing and seven other negroes who are said to have been leaders in yesterday's pa- rade. Rebbing was caught at a rail- way station just after he had_ pur- chased a ticket to St. Louis. The other prisoners are said to have been pants of automobiles in the parade, Federal authorities also were inves- tigating the rioting of last night. Questions Negroes Edward J. Brennon, chief of the de- partment of justice, questioned several alleged rioters including one of the Abyssenians to determine whether prosecution hnder the espionage or ist law is possible. Police are continuing to hunt for two of those who. escaped last night. Dr. R. D, Jonas, the white man of Washington, | D. C., who is said to have accompa- nied the negroes when they came to Chicago, was arrested at noon. Sailors who thronged Chicago after the shooting threatened to avenge the killing of their mate had all been rounded up by a provost guard and the police this afternoon. Naval authorities are considering barring sailors from the city until the trouble dies down. Jon when arrested. denied re- sponsibility for last night’s affair and said that he had been ejected from a meeting of the Abyssinians the pre- ceding Sunday.
