Estimates of the number of negroes who perished in the fire ran as hizh as 250, but there was nothing - thentic on which to base these esli- mates, except that hundreds of whites stood around the edges of the burning and fired at the negroes as fled from their homes.

Wallace said he, a negro minister and a negro physician were returning from St. Lo last night when they saw white “joy riders” ride down a block into Market street and fire into the houses. The neighborhood was aroused and the negroes armed them- selves Wallace did not see the negro mob fire on an automobile filled w:th po- licemen this morning, but he said a vitaess tod him that the negroes theught when the police automobile et-—-ned that it was the joyv riders re- t ne. he shooting began, he was before this misunderstanding was The officers were in plain “iock tonight estimates of the Cetd in today's race riot and fire y ~=-4 from 15 to 75, of whom two N ite men. ¢'ngs were still burning at four ent points in the city at that hour.

Forty injured negroes and six in- fured white men were in one hospital Mob Searching For Negroes. At 11 p. m. another fire had brok- e nout in the extreme nodthern portion of the city, where there is a negro sec- tion and a smaller mob was search- ing for negrges. This brought the burning sections up to four, lighting the entire city with their glare. Colonel Tripitt, assistant adjutant- general, stated shortly before midnight that the rioting crowds had for the most part dispersed. Negroes Quartered in City Hall. Nearly 500 negro men, women and children are quartered in the city hall and the police station. At frequent intervals all evening and until late tonight trucks brought ne- gro refugees from burning sections to augment the cowering groups of these refugee buildings where a strong guard of troops was stationed. Terrer Stricken When Out. Terror spread among the black men and women at 10.30 p. m. when all the lights in both buildings suddenly went out, due to the destruction of electric wires in the downtown district. When a report came to military au- thorities that négro = inhabitants at Brooklyn, Iils. a city entirely popu- iated by negroes, were moving on East St. Louis, a truck full of guardsmen was sent to the “black” bridge to meet any attack that might be attempted. At the same time another truck load of solliers was rushed to a corner near the post office, where negroes barri- cated in upstairs quarters had been firinz at soldiers standing guard in the streets below.

WILL BE NO TROUBLE OVER BITUMINOUS COAL Secretary Baker's Repulation Will Not Affect the Agreement. Washington, July 2—Repudiation by ecretary Baker, it was announced to- day at the offices of the defense coun- cil's coal production committee, will not affect the agreement between pro- ducers and government officials for the reduction of bituminous coal prices. The general price at the mines of $3 a ton to the public with a 50 cent reduction on government purchases will stand until a final figure is set. The threatened trouble in the cab- inet over Secretary Baker's action ap- parently vanished today though the question it has brought sharply to the front, the policy the government will pursue in dealing with business, is still a matter to be settled. Secretaries Lane and Baker lunched together to- day in a downtown hotel and it is understood the incident was discussed and that there is no ill-feling over it. Barlier in the day Secretary Baker is- sued a statement denying that there were any differences of opinion be- tween Secretary Lane and himself. He said his letter to Director Gifford, of the council of national defense, dis- approving the agreement, was written to prevent a popular misconception of what was going on in the coal situa- tion and to make clear that so far as the government was concerned no price would be fixed until production costs were determined by the federal trade commission. CONSPIRACY AGAINST SHIPPING ON THE GREAT LAKES Disclosed By Secret Investigation by Government Agents. Washington, July 2.—Secret investi- gation by zovernment agents has dis- closed the existence of a great conspir- acy to destrov or hinder shipping on the Great Lakes and thereby delay or- ganization of American war armies and check the flow of food and munitions materials from the western states to the Atlantic coast. No conspirators have been captured and the identity of none has been made public, but it was learned today that the state, navy and justice de- partments are co-eperating to bring the offenders to punishment, and that the Canadian government probably wili be called upon to_help. This plot, engineered by Germans as- sisted by sympathizing American cit- izens, is believed to have been respon- sible for the succession of “accidents” to lake shipping, especially in _ the neighborhood of the Saulte Ste Marie Canal, which began about a month ago. FINAL DRAFT OF WAR TAX BILL COMPLETED : Carries $1,670,000,000 With No Provi- sion for Additional Bonds. ‘Washington, July 2—A final draft of the war tax bill, reduced from $1.- 800.000,000 to $1,670.000,000 and carr; Ing no’ provision for additional honds, was completed tonight by the senate finance committee and will be reported [% the senate tomorron Next yvear’s war expenses are piac- ed in new estimates submitted tod. by the treasury department at $2.926.- 600 but Secretary McAdoo advised the committee that additional bonds wer |not necessary at this time.

First inEastern Galicia DATE TENTATIVELY SET FOR FIRST CONTINGENT LOCAL BOARDS NAMED Exemptions Are to be Left to Local Boards—No Announcement is Made of What the Process of Selesti Will Be. Washington, July 2.—Preparation for the mobilization of the first con- tingent of 625,000 troops of the new national army advanced another step tocay when President Wilson promul- zated the regulations to govern ex- emptions from military service. Local and appeal exemption boards already have been appointed and the issuance of the regulations will permit them to organize immediately and pre- pare for the concluding phases of the task of getting the men under train- ing for duty in France. Three Steps Organization. In the order which they must come, theer are three steps in the organiza- tion process of the national army as prescribed by congress. They are registration, selection and exemption. The first step has been carried through. The regulations issved today cover in detail the operaticn of the third step, exemption. Information concerning the second step in the series. however. is _still lacking and officials are guarding close- Iy the method by which selection is to be applied. The exemption regulations annonc- ed that the boards will be advised of the selection process later, although none of the steps prescribed axcept the organization of the hoards can be car- ried on until the selection machinery has furnished the names of the men of whose fitness and desirability for army service the'boards are to judge. There is one hint, however, as to how the selection machinery is to work. The local poards are directed upon organization 1o take over from the registration precincts the cards and lists of the men registered June 5, and as their first duty to provide a serial number for each registration card. This has given support to the belief that the selection is to be by numbers. Reports were current recently that the selection drawing was to be made in Washington. Process of Selection Unknown. Presumably the process of selection will be announced only a short time before it is put in operation. - When that wigh be is not known. Septem= ber 1 has been the tentative date set for calling the 625,000 of the first con- tingent to the colors for training. Pro- cess with construction of the sisteen divisional cantonments for the troops will govern that action, however. It is now believed there will be no serious delay. No Delay of More Than Three Days. The exemption process will not take a great deal of time. It is difficult to calculate the time the local boards will need in passing on the cases that come before them. The reguiations provide, however, that decision in any individual case shall not be delaved more than three davs by the local board or an additional five days when an appeal is taken to the district boards. The whole process probably can be carried through in less than thirty days. There were no surprises in the ex- exemptior. regulations. Th> task of passing upon the individual cases is left entirely to the local boards. While the president reserves the right to designate industries necessary for the public good. the question of whether retention of anv individwal enzazed in these indusiries essential ix left to the boards. GOVERNMENT IS TO INSURE COUNTRY’'S FIGHTING FORCES Legislation Giving That Power is to be Asked by the Administration. Washington, July 2—Issuance by e government itself of the insur- ance that is to be given to every man the country’s fighting forces was approved today by more than a hun- dred prominent Insurance company officials in conference at the treasury department. legislation to carry such a plan into effect will be asked of congress at this session by the ad- ministration. Creation of a bureau of service in- surance or extension to undertake the work probably will be proposed Many of the companies represented offered the use of their machinery for handling the government’s insurance business. Most of them suggested that the government should guarantes a limited indemnity, and permit indi- ciduals in the service to carry fur- her insurance in private companie: The bill providing for establish ment of federal insurance probably will ask for a system comparable to the present workmen's compensation law. v t BOSTON BAG TO CARRY YOUR OWN BUNDLES Causing Wonderment to Thousands of Visitors to the Hub. Boston, July 2—The Boston bag. a leather receptacle rarely seen in oth- er parts of the country, has been a big factor in helping the people of this city to observe the war time slogan, “Take home vour own bundle.” iMrst popular among students, the bag quickly came into general use to the wonderment of thousands of visitors. Primarily intended for books, 1t has largely supplanted the professional man's green cloth bag. Commuters have discovered its convenience and now the Boston bag being carried through the street or on hundreds of trains out of the city may contain a popular novel, a workingman's lunch, a student’s thesis or a roast for the family’s dinner. Department _store héads say that its uefulness for the carrying of small parcels has done much to solve the delivery problem. led by a Train. Bridgeport, Conn., July 2.—Michael Creme, a railroad watchman, was struck and killed by a train early to- day at the Burr road crossing.

HAVE CAPTURED FORTIFIED PO- SITIONS OF TEUTONS OVER 10,000 PRISONERS Fresh Battles Are in Progress North of Koniuchy—Russian Artillery Played an Important Part in Defeat of Germans. Prisoners exceeding 10,000 and the capture of the village of Koniuchy and strongly fortified positions southwest of Brzezany afe the first fruits of the new offensive movement of the us- sian forces in eastern Galicia. North of Konfuchy the Russian have attacked and fresh batties are in progress. The Russian artifery, long inactive from lack of shells, plaved an impor- tant part in the defeat of the Austro- Germans at Koniuchy. For two days a rain of iron was thrown into the German positions, and Berlin says of- ficially that they were turned into a crater field. The Russians not only carried three lines of German trenches and Koniuchy, which was strongly fortified, but also advanced to the Koniuchv stream south of the village, on the Zlota Lipa river. Carried Fortified Positions. Around Brzezany the fighting was most bitter and Berlin ciaims that six- teen Russian divisions were thrown forward. The Russians carried the fortified Teuton positions at several points in face of a desperate resistance by Austrian, German and Turkish troops. Little Action on Western Front. On the western front there has been little marked activity. Both the Brit- ish and Germans have carried out raids in the area around Lens and north- ward. On the Aisne front between Cerny and Ailles the French have re- gained a line of trenches from the Ger- mans after spirited fighting. In the Trentino south of Riva the Austrians have attacked Italian posi- tions between Lake Garda and the Ledro valley. Rome reports that all the Austrian efforts were checked with loss. TEN KNOWN DEAD IN NIAGARA TROLLEY WRECK. A Great Disagreement Over Number of Passengers in the Car. Niagara Falls, N. Y., July 2.—The death list of the troliley wreek on the Gorge road on Sunday afternoon was unchanged today. There are ten known dead, three persons are missing and probably dead, and there are from six to sixteen unknown missing. There is a great disagreement over the number of passengers in the wrecked car. Meanwhile the cash register of the car has not been produced. There is still disagreement over the warning given the Gorge route before the accldent regarding the falling in of the tracks. It is now admitted that such warning was teiephoned, but the line officlals claim they acted as quickly as possible. The men who tele- phoned the warning say that from 12 to 20 minutes’ warning was given, enough to have saved the car, even | though no official thought of shutting off_the power. To determine these facts there will be several investigations. GOV.

TWO COLORED MEN KILLED WHILE WALKING R. R. TRACKS. Stepped From a Clear Track in Path of an Express at Hartford. Hartford. Conn., July 2—Two colored men employed by a rubber manufac- turing company were instantly killed this afternoon while walking the tracks of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad when they were struck by a westbound express train. The accident occurred about a guarter of a mile east of the union station. The men were John Crawford, 33, and J. W. Cobb. The latter comes from Savan- nah, Ga., where he is regulariy em- ploved as a chef at the Gerogia In- dustrial college. He came here sev- | eral weeks ago on an extended leave of absence. A peculiar angle of the accident is the fact that the men stepped from the eastbound track, which was entirely clear of traffic, directly in the path of the approaching express. How they became so confused is a mystery. NO PROMOTIONS FOR ERITISH LEADERS IN MESOPOTAMIA Assurances Given in Commons by An- drew Bonar Law.
