WASHINGTON, July 23.—Altho there was sporadic firing of fire arms in some negro districts until early this), * morning the major casualties of last night’s clashes between whites and blacks consisted of only one white man killed and another probably fa- tally wounded. Scores were injured as a result of blows from fists, clubs, stones and knives. The men killed and wounded were members of the defense guards and were shot down on the street by ne- groes while doing duty in the negro district. The fourth night of race warfare was less violent than Monday. Feel- ing which was inflamed by reported attacks upon whites by negroes thru- out the day was no less bitter but an all-night rain and the presence of 2,- 000 soldiers, marines and sailors do- ing duty with 700 police and several hundred home defense guards acted as a deterrent upon any attempt at organized mob violence. Revised figures from the period of disorders since Monday showed five dead, at least ten fatally wounded, hundreds less seriously hurt and the hospitals and jails literally overflow- ing. =e MOONEY FAILED TO GET JUSTICE SAYS U.S. AGENT (By The Associated Press.)

The report, which is dated November 1, 1918, was sub- mitted to the house today in re- sponse to “The pl report, “that there is nothing about the case to produce a feeling of confidence that the dignity and majesty of the law have been up- held.” “There is nowhere anything re- sembling consistency, the effort be- ing a patchwork of incongruous make-shifts and often of desper- ate expendiency.” (ny A inted Press.) WASHINGTON, July 23.—Congress was asked today by Secre- tary of the Interior Lane for a special appropriation of half a million dollars to fight forest fires in Montana, Idaho and Washington. Latest reports from Idaho, he , declare that the fires not be extinguished save by heavy rain, of which there is no imme- diate prospect.” Secretary Lane authorized the use of $40,000 appropriated for the land office field service.
