the work with $418,000 of their own
money, la one that presents especially
Strong argument In Its favor.
Xawley Has Poor Xtuck
While the bill waa In committee of
-the whole In the house. Representative
Hawley offered three amendments, but
mad no progress with them. On only
one, rejfclding fop'a SJ-foot depth for
the inner harbor of Coos bay from the
entrance to Smith's mill, did he de
mand a division, and on this was
beaten, 18 to 24.
In "Committee of the4 whole no roll
Call can be had, and against the oppo
sition of the rivers and harbors com
. mlttee Hawley did not think it worth
-: while to ask for a division on the
. other amendments after they had been
rejected by a viva voce vote. The fact
that only 42 members voted on the
. Coos bay amendment, out of total
membership of 436, shows the small
attendance during the consideration of
' the bill.
Columbia Jetty Short
In a seven-minute speech upon his
amendment to restore the $975,000 item
for the mouth of the Columbia river.
Mr. Hawley asserted that the jetty Is
left 400 feet short of Its projected
. . length, and without a massive bulk
v head' at the end such as It should have,
because there was a strike among- the
workmen, and the officers in charge
would not pay an advance in wages.
"No sufficient reason Is assigned for
abandoning this work," he said, "and
Ultimately the work must be done-The.
engineers will be back, saying that It
vvas a mistake to stop. There will be
a great loss in reassembling the
-j Plant, replacing piling and relaying the
tracks. The thing to do la to go ahead
and complete the Job while the equlp-
Kaent is ready."..
Chairman .Small of the rivers and
harbors committee, replying, quotad
the engineers' report in favor of sus
pending work. He said the jetty will
tana, and there la $189,000 balance
,from former appropriation left for
dredging.
Washington Wants Work
" Representative Johnson of Washing
ton said that the Oregon members
'seem to forget that there Is a north
bank of the Columbia, and he wanted
-. -'.to direct attention to the Inlets and
rivers on the north side, expressing
. hope that the engineers will expend
part of the balance on Baker's bay.
Representative Lenrott of Wisconsin
slammed th war department and the
house committee for their methods In
- recommending improvements, as shown
- by their action in dropping the appro
priation for the mouth of the. Columbia
"All the time we are told this was
a war measure," he said, -"and the
i items In the bill were supposed to be
absolutely necessary. This Columbia
river item was in the bilL when It was
made up, and waa excluded Just befor
it was reported to the house, because
the district officer telegraphed that
this money was not needed. i

On the YaqUlna project, Hawley ex
plained to the. house that merely the

tricts, so the improvement may be be

with Secretary of the Treasury Mc-

"The conference was very unsatis

my next move will be."
to "Miss Rankin's suggestions will be
taken under consideration," Assistant
Secretary Crosby said, "and the

however, that It Is war work on which

New York. July 4. (TJ. P.) "Swift
and severe punishment," for the mobs
which wiped out the negro section
of East St. Louis and burned their
property, was demanded by the Social
ist leader. William English Walling,
in a telegram to President Wilson
today.
Such punishment is necessary. Wal
ling said, because "of the dangerous
effect of race riots In America on
revolutionary Russia, South America
and China,"
Walling characterized the uprising
as partly the result of German agents'
efforts to ,stir up a race war to keep
American troops at home and partly
the result of an attempt by the south
ern states to keep the negro unde
their thumb. V
Clalnts Stot rWaa Prepared -
Speaking as a member of tU ex
ecutive commlttee'of the National As
sociation for the Advancement of Col
ored People, Walling, in his telegram
said: -
"Savages at Bast St Louis deliber
ately prepared this riot for a whole
month. Without military use. It was
worse, perhaps, than anything the Ger
mans did in Belgium, and to be com
pared only to the Jewish massacres
under the czar. '
"The pretext of labor invasion Is
invalid. There is no over-supply of
labor- anywhere in the country today.
"The riot was caused by the efforts
of the anti-negro element of the south
to check tho exodus of colored labor,
which promised to force the south to
suspend the reign of terror which has
prevailed for half a century, and to
sive negroes better pay and treat them
like human beings.
Saya Oermam Spies Helped
"The reign of terror has passed
from the south to the north, doubtless
fostered by German spies. The Ger
man plot to prevent conscription of
negroes and keep a large section of
American troops in America may suc
ceed. "The lnternatlonaland military sit
uation calls for immediate action.
There must be swift and severe pun
ishment for the mob. But this will
not suffice. There should be an Im
mediate presidential proclamation in
the present military exigency that
the full military power of the na
tion will be used in defense of the
lives and liberty of our colored fel
low citizens."

New York, July 4. (I. N. a) Two
thousand negroes and whites, includ

soldier, battled furiously Tuesday
night in a race riot in the San Juan
"black belt." ' Knives and revolvers
were flourished ..and a shower of mis
siles hurled by the combatants.
One policeman who tried to rescue
a companion was attacked by a giant
negro with a nine-inch knife. The
policeman, gashed slightly on the arm
in the struggle, felled the negro with
repeated blows of his night stick. The
negro was taken to a hospital with a
possible fracture of the skull.
Several others were treated by am
bulane surgeons. Others, wounded,
fled to homes of friends.
The arrest of a member of the Fif
teenth regiment of the negro Infantry
unit by a policeman precipitated the
riot. He was a member of a rrouu of
soldiers who were making offensive re
marks to passers-by. Reserves came
on the scene and their appearance
