HOSPITAL IS ATTACKED A 6500 State Troops on Duty to Back Up Police Who Guard All Points of Trouble. KNOWN DEAD NUMBER 27 Militia Units Mobilized in Many Parts of the State So Re inforcements May Be Had. CHICAGO, July 29. With race riots spreading to parts of the city far re moved from the "black belt," in spite of the efforts of every policeman in the city to maintain order, Chicago tonight was facing the probable ne cessity of calling into action the 6500 members of the national guard mo bilized at central points throughout the metropolis. Rioting was sporadic throughout the day, and broke out with renewed vio lence after business hours, attaining a clirr-ax about 10 o'clock, when fatalities had reached a total of 27 following an attack on Provident hospital, an insti tution for negroes. Mob is Fought Off. In the shooting that followed the at tack one negro was killed, two police men, one white citizen and six negroes were wounded, some of them seri ously; and inmates of the hospital were saved from maltreatment solely because the attack was fought off. Hundreds of whites followed the leadership of a man who is said to have rushed through the nearby streets firing a revolver. The hospital was caring for about 70 patients, about a score of them negro victims of riots. The presence of policemen prevented a more serious riot. The patients were thrown into a serious condition, the hospital au thorities said. Attack Follows Riot, The riot at the hospital was precipi tated by another at State and Thirty- fifth streets, where two white men and one negro wer- killed and ap proximately 30 negroes wounded in a battle that followed a collision between .an automobile and a police patrol wagon. A small automobile filled with whites, each armed with a pistol and alC firing indiscriminate!; at blacks, , . . . rrasnprt inrn a nTrn tati Tvn at thnl i - Street intersection. Two of the Whites were killed in the collision. Two others and every po - liceman in the patrol wago.i were hurt. Police Fire on Mob. Immediately there was a rush of blacks and policemen to the wreck. The police could not push the enraged negros away and opened fire, kill ing one negro and wounding 30 others. City officials at midnight professed themselves satisfied with what the po lice were doing, and several thousand state troops remained in armories. At that hour the death list totaled 27, two negroes and two whites having been killed during the evening and another negro having died of wounds received Monday. The injured list had been swelled by uncounted scores and several of the wounded may not survive. Disturb ances were reported from the south side "black belt," an Italian section on the west side, and from the near north side. Big Mobs Clash On the south side a thousand whites and as many negroes faced each other. Hundreds of policemen were rushed to halt the threatened battle. Crowds of young men penetrated the downtown district on avowed hunts for negroes. State and city authorities early an nounced themselves" as determined to use every legitimate force in an effort to prevent repetition of last night's terrorism a terrorism which flared up spasmodically throughout the day and created a threat which the law and order forces were quick to heed. Reserves Are Mobilized. In addition to the four regiments on the ground, consisting of the Ilth in fantry, I. K.

NO HINT OF ROMANCE HEARP Two Shots Required to Flight of Victim. CLOTHES TELC OF. BATTLE Girl's Fight at First Successful, but Assailant Kills Her to Still Her Tongue. MARSHFIELD, Or., July 29. (Spe cial.) The person who so brutally murdered pretty Lillian I.euthold of Bandon may never be apprehended for though officials have been over the scenes of the tragedy and sought out all probable leads, no definite clew of the teast moment has been uncovered. It appears there is absolutely nothing upon which to base the probability of a motive, for the girl was strictly one who was reserved, never had any male escorts or friends, and did not go out company with boys of the high. school nor with any others. Aailant Mar Have Bern Known. Many concluded today that the ag gressor, believing his victim about to escape, killed her rather than see her find refuse at home and disclose the details of the attempt. As the girl was murdered, the officers hold to the theory the person who committed .the murder vss known to Miss Leuthold. Her fight, evidence of which was disclosed by her torn and disordered doming, was that of a tigress, and it seems she broke away from the brute and was well on the way to safety when the person fearing publicity of her story, shot her in cold blood. The first bullet struck the girl in the back of the head, glanced over and did not penetrate the skull, although tearing the scalp. This stunned her and while he lay unconscious upon the ground the fiend finished his wort, by shoot ing? her through the head, the -Lllet en tering at the temple. Girl's Hat M Two Bullet Hole. A curious phase of the Murder was the discovery of the body with the girl's hat still upon her head, however, with two bullet holes through it indi- eating perhaps the first bullet did not fell her and she was shot the second time as she staggered. One report said her clothing had not been torn and the signs of struggle were few. Finger marks were found -upon the body, however, and it was accepted she had been brutally attacked. The scene of the murder was near the county highway between Coquille and Bandon, half way between Bul lard's feriy and the city of Handon. The Jennings family, where the girl visited, live about 300 or 400 yards from the main highway, and it was fpnm-ludrt tn Page 3. Column 4.) : .

CRUELTIES ARE DESCRIBED Member of Congressional Committee Expresses Belief Tliat Lieutenants and Sergeants Scapegoats. NEW YORK. July Scores of in stances of brutal treatment of Ameri can soldiers in the prison camps of France described in some cases as amounting to a system of torture, re sponsibility for which was placed by the witnesses on high army officers, were related today before the con gressional sub-committee which is In vestigating the disciplinary systems of the A. K. F. The committee, consisting of Repre sentative Royal C. Johnson of South Dakota and Representative Oscar K. Bland of Indiana, met in the disciplin ary barracks on Governor's island. High Officer. Named. The "men higher up" who were di rectly charged by witnesses with re sponsibility for the prison conditions included Hrigadier - General W. W. Harts, former commander of the Ameri can troops in the Paris district; Major General Fredrick Smith Strong of the 40th division; Colonel Kdgar Grin stead, commander of the I5Sth Infantry and Colonel J. S. Maul of the field ar tillery. A number of captains and lieutenants also were named as having taken an actual part in the brutal treatment of the prisoners. At the close of the hearing Repre sentative Johnson announced that all case In which charges were made would be placed before the inspeclor general of the American army and every effort made to brin the guilty men to punishment. "From the evidence before the com mittee." said Mr. Johnson, "it seems clear to us that while sergeants and lieutenants were punished they were merely the scapegoats of higher of ficers. want to discover who were the men 'higher up.' and we will do everything in our power to see tte.it they are brought to trial. It is ap parent that this whs not a rase or brutality in an individual prison, but that similar conditions existed In piac tically all the prisons of Fiance." Ifert.r I. Itae.a.

Pub lished by irrnfi.m.n:. I.OXDO, July July has added heavily to the toii of murders in the United Kingdom in the last three months. Well known criminal author ities attribute the crime wave to the low regard In which life has been held by some persons since the w-ar. Five murders took place in July, most of the victims being girls or wom en. The latest victim Is a girl who was found gagged and strangled in a house near Flnsbury park today. The police are trying to unravel the mvstery of the) death of Connie Grant. 1. whose skeleton was found under the flooring of a house in Elkton on Friday. One magistrate, commenting on the increased number of crimes, said yes terday that lack of employment or dis inclination to work were the contrib uting causes. In addition to making a murder rec ord, both June and July have developed many cases of bigamy. One prominent judge declares bigamy seems to have become a matter as casual as an invi tation to dinner. Clergymen in certain parts of the country now refuse to marry girls to overseas men without conclusive evi dence that the soldier swains are not already married. But bigamy has by no. means been confined lo overseas men. SODA TAX NETS $35,323 Oregon Girls Contribute Heavily Toward l.cvy on Luxuries. That luxury tax on Ice cream has al ready netted In Oregon.

Only two witnesses were ex amined during; the entire day. J. P. Newell, consulting; engineer for the public service commission of Ore- eon, was under cross-examination for nearly five hours and questioned by that many attorneys for defendants and intervenors, as well as by members of the interstate commerce division hear, inf the consolidated cases. Priaelple. Are I held. Mr. Newell maintained that his cort of service principles, to which he had testified In Portland for more than a day earlier in the hearing:, were just and possible of application in the making; of freight rates. H-e is prepar ing further equivalent mileage com parison for presentation tomorrow at the request of the commissioners, the railway administration and Astoria. -Mr. Newell defended his com of service testimony under cross-examination in a manrver that caused many smiles among Portland and other Ore gon counsel. litacl.m An- Attacked. I-'iv questioners In turn attacked his mileage computations In which he had made a cost of service comparison oer Washington lines to Tus-et Sound and Oregon lines to Portland, 'the Inland empire points of origin bring the same in all cases. He was subjected to a wide ranrt of questions as to what extent equated resistance equalized and actual mile, age entered into his conclusions. Kquivalent and resistance mileage, he Insisted, were based on physical con ditions and used to make comparisons of cost of operation and for purposes of illustration. Kquatrd mileace was used, he said, only to put questions on a simplified basis. wt I. Maaawau -I csthered all my facts." he said in answer to a question by A.

The witness backed up his statement that It cost approximately 7a per cent more to haul frelcht from Tendleton to Seattle than it did from the asm. point of origin to Portland. ntstanc. Is the main element in the differences In the cost of railway freight service. Mr. Newell contended. Mr. Nem ell's grade computations were attacked by T. J. L Kennedy, assistant corporation counsel for Seattle. The witness explained that he had not taken the rrade by sections of line Into con sideration, but that he had taken the equalised srrades of all lines concerned into consideration. Mr. t.llmaa Testifies. I. C. Gilman. director for the railway administration for the states of Oregon and Washington with headquarters in Seattle, was the second witness of the day. Mr. Gilman said that a thorough study of the Columbia river bar had convinced him that it was no lonsrer a barrier to navigation, and that there was now plenty of water for the largest ships to enterlhe river and pro. ceed to Portland. Portland's position with respect to the great shipping centers of the orient was equally as Rood, as that of Pucct sound, Mr. Gilman said, nd would en able that city to make great strides in a commercial way. He said that until of late years, however. Portland had been looking Inland for business and Puget sound to the sea. Now Portland, he said, also was looking toward the) sea and was getting the facilities ta handle ocean trade. Katlre Party Moves. If the difference in the appearance of the court room were to be eliminated it would be impossibl. to detect aoy dif ference in the hearing here today than in Portland. The commissioners, counsel, rate experts, witnesses and other In terested persons just simply moved bag; and baggage during the night to a new field of activity. Some Z persons left Portland after the hearing last night. This morning they debarked front sleepers in Seattle and were in attend' ance when the hearing was resumed at the usual hour of 10 o'clock. In no ovent. Henry Clay Hall, chair man of the commission division said to day. will the bearing be continued longer than Saturday evening. This ejected claims for time by the various conflicting Interests again and It was I decided that the course of procedure would be mapped out tomorrow morn Ins; before the day's work was resumed.
