Washington, July 2t. CM. P.) Order hu beerf restored !n Wash lnton early today by troop under Major General William G. Haan. The situation was regarded as much better than at any time since the rtotl&r between ' whites and blacks began Saturday nijht. ; - No mobs were permitted to form Toes ay nlfht. Squadrons of cavalry made several dashes througrh streets where crowds were congregating and scattered them. Every ;; policeman ; who walked bis beat was escorted by two armed soldiers. In addition troops were posted at every point in the city where there was danger of a clash between white men and sex-roes. : Army motor tracks were beld ready to transport soldiers quickly, and three tanks were in re serve. -r Isaac B. Halbfln yer, member of ; the home defense sruard, was killed and Benjamin Belmont, also of the guard, wss seriously wounded by a negro whom they tried to search for weapons. After this shooting- troops surrounded the , block where the negro was supposed to be hiding- and.' searched it, but with out success.;', !-::-:::....-. ', Major General Haan established head quarters in the District building, which corresponds to ; the city -halt - Haan Just back from France,, where ir w manded the Thirty-second division dyrr ing the war, made a personal tour of the city during the "night, , inspecting the troop dispositional His BJaff twas with him, Just as at the western frcmt. and regular telephone reports were re ceived from officers commanding the guards. -.

LIGHTNING STRIKES ( ContinuM From Pace One) examination, it wasy not known how seriously the operating mechanism bad 'been injured, but the draw could not be moved and -accordingly vessels in har bor must hold their berths until the motors are repaired: H. E. Henry, a steeplejack, wss stand ing at First and Oak surveying the flag pole with intent to paint it when the flash came that splintered the pdte and cost; him a Job. . "I believe that is a hunch for me to quit the business," he said. . The pole, was surmounted by a copper ball, which apparently had attracted the flash. CAME lit LIKE U05 Uke the month of March, the storm came in like a lion and District Fore caster Edward Wells declared it would go out like the proverbial lamb to visit its wrath upon some other point. - "The storm was the result of low-pressure conditions developed over a wide area that Includes almost the entire West, but it will be a series of mild local storms rather than a general one," I Air. weiia saw tnis momma-. we ex pect many such storms in various parts of the West within the next few days, - and, although the storm oarer Oregon will clear away before sunshine and warmth, it may revisit this section. "The conditions that brought about the storm developed suddenly over night and last night's forecasts . gave only slight indication of foul weather. Two very light showers during the : early morning hours heralded the thun der and lightning of the late morning." The extent of the rain that accom panied the storm will probably net be sufficient to aid in checking western forest fires, it was said. MAT DAMAGE HAT Rains at this time will make very little change in the crop situation aside from aiding the renewal of press. Some bay would likely be damaged in those sections where farmers were slow about getting then- work completed. - Continued showers would have an ad verse effect upon the prune and peach crops and would delay the harvest of showers at this time. IT WAS S TESTEBDAT According to the daily meteorological report, issued at 6 o'clock last evening from the office of the weather bureau : in Portland. Walla Walla was the hot test spot Tuesday In the Pacific North west.

' Premier Clemenceau has announced in the chamber of deputies that he would Introduce a general election bill the day after the-peace treaty Is ratified. . "This announcement- was made Just before the chamber of deputies gave the Clemenceau ministry a vots of confi dence by a big majority.

This' was a1 thing that the premier's opponents most feared. WILL FIIflSH WOEK i That M. Clemenceau fs going. to fight to remain in power until his work of concluding peace. is fully completed was indicated by his 'speech.. Opposition to America's participation In the framing of the Bulgarian pence treaty, as revealed in the European press, is due to the belief that the Amer ican delegates "will favor lenient terms for the Bulgars.. The American delegates are known to favor permitting Bulgaria to retain Western Thrace to give her access to the sea. This, it is stated in American conference-circles', -is not in the Interest of leniency, but further to safeguard the peace of the Balkans.
