HOUSTON, Tex.. Aug. 24. Blanket
charges of murder were Hied tonight
by District Attorney John Crocker
against 34 negro soldiers ot the Twenty-fourth
Infantry, held in the county
Jail as the result of the rioting last
night which resulted In the death of
17 persons, four of them city police
officers.
This was the first move indicative of
an attempt by the state to retain cus
tody of the Boldiers rather than turn
them over to the army for punishment.
An order for the removal of the ne
gro soldiers ot the Twenty-fourth In
fantry from Houston to Columbus, N.
M., Issued by Major-General James
Parker, commander of the Southern
department, U. S. A., served materially
to restore a spirit of quiet here tonight
after a day of unrest.
Of the 125 negroes to leave their
camp Thursday night with stolen am
munition for a raid upon the city, all
but eight had been accounted for and
scores of civilian and military patrols
were searching for the remaining fu
gitives. The rioting last night started about
9 o'clock. During the day the aegro
troops became angered against the city
policemen of Houston because of the
reported shooting of a negro sergeant
by a police officer. Stealing company
ammunition, about 125 of the negroes
seized their rifles and left the camp,
starting toward the city, and shooting
Indiscriminately.
Warning immediately was given and
mounted police officers sought to halt
the mob, surrendering their lives in
Tain efforts to drive the soldiers back.
Illinois guardsmen encamped at
Camp Logan soon arrrvea on the scene,
but only in time to throw a cordon
between the negroes and crowds of
Houstonians who armed themselves
and quietly gathered to oppose the
raiders.
The negroes then took to the open
country in flight, some returning to
camp, where they were placed under
guard, and others hiding in buildings
in -the district
Two squads of armed civilians, sworn
In as deputy sheriffs, each squad with
a captain in command, aided the mili
tary forces during the day in the
search of the San Felipe district for
stragglers from the rioting negro hand.
A force of approximately 600 men
from Fort Sam Houston, detailed from
the 19th Infantry, arrived during the
afternoon and & detachment of Coast
Guard Artillery from Fort Crockett,
Galveston, relieved the Illinois Nation
al Guardsmen, who had been on patrol
duty throughout the night without
rest These, with the troops from San
Antonio, assumed full control tonight
Indignation over the outbreak was
expressed particularly because of the
savageness displayed by the negroes
toward the white police officers whose
bodies in nearly every Instance had
been hacked with bayonets.
, Among Illniols Guardsmen much
feeling was evinced because of the mu
tilation of Captain Joseph Mattes,
one of the first to be slain by the riot
ers. Funeral arrangements for the vic
tims of the riot were made during the
afternoon. The four police officers
who died fighting will be given a pub
lic funeral Sunday afternoon.
Captain M. S. Snow, commanding of
ficer of the negro battalion, this after
noon had begun organization of a court
martial to inquire into the rioting and
assess punishment against the men
concerned. Less than 200 ot the bat
talion participated in the outbreak, it
is said, and of this number all but
30 are now in custody, either at the
county jail, or in the Camp Logan
guardhouse.

S IN EDDY OF
I!
First Sergeant Max W. Meyer, 24, of
the Third Oregon Hospital Corps, and
formerly a meat inspector In the Port
land bureau of health, was drowned in
the Clackamas river near the old Er-
ickson tavern. Friday afternoon while
attempting to swim the stream.
A shortage of water supply at Camp
Withycombe recently resulted In of
ficial permission for squads of men
to visit the Clackamas river for bath
ing. Strict orders were issued, how
ever, against swimming, for the cur
rent Is rapid and treacherous.
Lieutenant W. B. Jackson and Lieu-i
tenant Raymond D. Daniels, of Bat
tery A, accompanied a company of sol
diers to the river Friday afternoon.
They found Sergeant Meyer and a
score of comrades already bathing. Ser
geant Meyer was swimming toward the
opposite bank.
He was a strong swimmer and the
bank was near, but the current carried
him into a whirlpool and he suddenly
sank.
Comrades volunteered to swim
across and enter the perilous water
that had claimed Sergeant Meyer, but
were restrained by the officers because
of the danger ot futile sacrifice. Boats
were procured and the river was
dragged, the searchers working until
almost midnight but no traces of the
body was found.
Sergeant Meyer's home was at Rose
burg, where his father-in-law, R. E.
Hunt, is a veterinarian.
The body of First Sergeant Max W.
Meyer, who was drowned In the Clack
amas river four miles above Oregon
City, was recovered Saturday morning
by a group ot sergeants from the
drowned man's regiment The mem
ber of the searching party were Ser
geants Kent Wilson, Powers and
White.

Old Folks Saved
From Suffering
Mrs. Mary A. Dean, Taunton, Mass.,
In her 87th year, says: "I thought I
was beyond the reach of medicine, but
Foley Kidney Pills have proven most
beneficial in my case."
Mr. Bam A. Hoover, High Point,
N. C, writes: "My kidney trouble was
worse at night and I had to get up
from five to seven times. Now I do
not have to got up at night, and con
sider myself in a truly normal con
dition, which I attribute to Foley Kid
ney Pills, as I have taken nothing
else."
Mrs. M. A. Bridges, Robinson, Mass.,
says: "I suffered from kidney ail
ments for two years. I commenced
taking Foley Kidney Pills ten months
ago, and though I am 61 years of age,
I feel like a 16-year-old girl."
Foley Kidney pills are tonic,
strengthening and up-building, and

and an additional 25,000 orphans are
In Syria, not including PalestltiB, ac
cording to reports of missionaries
from the near east who recently ar

misHionuries that it was extremely
doubtful whether many of these chil

a more substantial form than hereto
fore. In many Instances, the mission
aries said, little children scarcely old
Vnough to feed them,lvos were
found by relief workers living abso
lutely nlone. begging for enough food
to keep them nltve and, falling in
that, subsisting on grass. The ma
jority of these were girls who had
survived, duo to greater powers of
resistance or to having been fed by
their brothers, who starved.
The Turkish authorities are doing
all In their power for the children,
and missions and hospitals have been
opened in several places In charge of
Turkish women.
