Fire swept through several houses in
the "valley" district, in the west end,
this afternqpn, indicating a renewal of

too dazed and terror-stricken to realise
fully the enormity of the crime that
had been' committed against them.
One old woman, with & bleeding right

boy and a girl ' whoa clothing had
been burned half from their bodies.

Colonel Tripp was struck several

Many outright lynchlngs took place
during the night. One victim was

Kas 2ota of Stamina
Having aet out to make a "speech,"
nothing deters the Missouri senator.
In the case of the food control bill he
kept going for the greater part of
three days, while the vacant desks
around him gave testimony to the in
terest he inspired. He drew repeated
pictures of dictatorship stalking
through the land, of Prussian Ism
brought' to America, and of many sorts
of imperlalistio dangers threatening
the country.
Mosttof his col leagues tired of this
performance, so they went about their
business elsewhere, waiting for the
Reeds to finish so the bill could be
considered in earnest and made ready
for final passage. Reed is not the
only offender ln these respects. He
happened to be the most conspicuous
of hid kind in the food bill discussion,
just about the time that Tillman let
fall his remark about senators who
act aa though they were practicing
law. And he has nearly six yeara to
serve.
The committee bill reported today
falls $130,000,000 short of estimates
under the house bill and veral hun
dred million short of what the admin
istration originally asked. In spite of
this, however, Secretary McAdoo noti
fied the committee that it will not be
necessary now to have a bond issue ln
addition to the tax levy. This will
come later.
The bill will not come ud for gen
eral debate until after the food bill
has been disposed of. according to
present plans. Senator Simmons,
chairman of the finance committee, la
expected, however, to request that the
dry amendment to the food bill b
stricken out, as long as tha rtvniM
bill haa a tax on distilled spirits
which would prohibit their further
manufacture. Many prominent "drys"
believe the prohibitive tax is the only
constitutional way of halting manu
facture of intoxicants other than by
constitutional amendment.

A negro was walking on the rail

Negroes were dragged" from streetcars

street near national guardsmen, who
were powerleaa to protect him. A man
rushed up and fired six ahota at the
fallen negro. Two atruca him and he
died.
There were many signs, however,
that no matter what ia done by the
troops, the trouble will- not be ended
permanently. It ia deep rooted. Flight

Pactory Girls Join Plght
An example of what the national
guardsmen are encountering Is the
beating of negresses by young factory
Eirls. Late Monday afternoon it je-
sulted ln the death of a negro. Six
girls had been pursuing; a degress
around the mam rauroaa station, a
mob formed behind the girls, who
were screaming frantic epithets at the
terrified black girl.
"Send them back to Africa!" "Kill
them all!" "Lynch them!" shouted the
young women.
Suddenly the crowd swept from the

the street cars ceased to operate at 7
o'clock.
When the packing houses ln the
north end of town closed for the day,
and the hundreds of negroes employed
there started for their homes in tne
southern section of the city, the nerves
of every city official and military of
ficer were on edge. By that time the
fire department was ousy iignuns
flames ln the negro quarter and every
few minutes reports were arriving
that dead negroes were lying ln alleys
or in black belt dwellings.
The second white man to be killed
was William Kaiser, 60 years old, a"
hardware merchant. He waa standing
on the front of his store ln Collins- 1
vllle avenue, the main business thor
oughfare of East St. Louis, when a
mob was shooting at a negro. A stray
bullet penetrated his breast.
Mob Ignore awards
Ignoring the presence of national
guard patrols and squads on fixed
posts, several to a block, mobs formed
in Colllnsvllle avenue several times
Monday. Colonel Tripp found him
self in the midst of a riot at Col
llnsvllle and Illinois avenues. He or
dered two motor trucks to gather up
members of the Sixth regiment and 60
men broke up the mobs, but not before
it had finished its work by killing two
negroes.
Colonel E. P. Clayton of the Third
Infantry is in direct command of the
troops, working under Colonel Tripp,
who is an assistant adjutant general.
Mobs are taking all white prisoners
from the police.
