Negro Riddled
By Shots When
Resisting Law
Baltimore, Md., March 19. Ria
died by shots and probably mortally
wounded; V. A. Scott, a negro, s
captured early this morning after a
desperate three hour battle wage from
a barricaded house. Two policemen
were wounded In the fracas and an
other mistaken for the hunted man
was shot three times by policemen and
beaten b$-a mob before it was learned
he was not the man.
An exchange of greetings between a
white dentist and another white man,
according to the police, inspired a
crowd of negroes with the belief that
the dentist and his friend were look
lug for prey for the dissecting table,
and they started to beat the two
whites. Two policemen in plain cloth
es arrested one of the negroes whose
friends turned their wrath upon the
officers and succeeded In releasing the
prisoner. The negro fled, firing his
pistol as he ran. The chase ended
only when he entered a house in West
Saratoga street.
A riot call brought reserves from
three districts and several of the po
licemen entered the house while the
other held the negro at bay. The po
licmen In the house chopped away a
part of the floor, making "loop holes"
through which they fired the contents
of two heavily charged shotguns.
Windstorm Does
Million Dollar
Wheat Damage
-T
Topeka, Kan., Mar. 19. Loss to
wheat growers caused by Uie worst
windstorm Kansas has ever known
will reach at least one million dollars,
according to S. D. Fioran, federal
meteorologist here.
Reports reaching the federal weath
er station Indicated that the heaviest
damage was felt in the south central
part of the state. The winter drought
was still In force, according to state
ments by weather bureau officials,
and the winds swept the highlands,
carrying wheat and dirt into lower
ground only to bury grain planted
there. The wheat "simply blew away"
said Mr. Fioran.
. "It cannot be said that the wheat
crop was destroyed," he continued,
"for considering the Increased acre-
whiia it Venn devastated In some
parts of the state, it Will pull through
in other parts.

Bonus Proposal
For Washington
Veterans to Pass
Olympia, Wash., Mar. 19 Introduc
tion at the special session of the Wash
ington legislature convening here Mon
day, of a soldiers' honus bill providing
for a payment of H5 to former service
men for each month spent in actual
servio. was practically assured, mem
bers of the Joint aproprlation commit
tee last night of a tentative measure
sponsored by fhe American Legion and
the veterans of foreign wars.
The bill, as presented by the two or
ganizations, provides for a bond issue
of $11,000,000 to be retired from the
proceds of an annual mill tax levy.

Turks Organize
.Jo. Hock; Allies?.
Plan of Division
Constantinople, Mar. 19. Leaders
of the Turkish nationalists from Azer
baijan to Palestine seem to be co
operating ln a movement to oppose al
lied proposals for a peace unfavorable
to Turkey. Men closely associated with
Mustapha. Kemal, leader of the na
tionalists, have been skilfully promot
ing opposition to all foreign Interfer
ence, It ls asserted, and the Arabs,
Kurds and other tribes are said to be
aligned with forces planning to check
mate any movement on the part of the
entente looking to the partitioning of
the country.
The whole movement seems to be
political rather than religious. Wheth
er boleshevism enters into the situa
tion has not as yet deevloped.
Turkish newspapers frankly say tut
allies cannot muster sufficient strength
to force an unacceptable peace upon
the country. They point to Captain
Gabriele D'Annunzlo's defiance and
other instances in jrhich the allies
have been powerless to enforce orders.
With the exception of the Maras..
incident there have been no massacres
of Christians, although there are large
numbers of Armenians and Greeks at
the mercy of the Turks In Asia Minor.
These people are living in terror lest
they be attacked when the peace terms
are made known.
French detachments are reported to
be meeting stubborn resistance in their
effort to occupy districts northeast o
Aleppo, where British troops were for
merly stationed.
Americans ln Asia Minor have been
requested to remain absolutely neutral
in the event of disorders in districts
occupied by foreign armies.
Hungarian Treaty
Termed Sentence
Of Death, Report
Paris, Mar. 19. The Hungarian
peace treat ! a "entenc of death."
Count Albert Apponyl, head of the
Hungarian peace commission declares
in the first of two articles he has giv
en to the Associated Press.
The decision of the allies was based
on one-sided information, and Hun
gary never got a chance to present
"the facts of her own problems from
her own point of view," he says.
Analyzing the treaty, he declares
that it tnkes away from Hungary two
thirds of her territory and population
and gives to what is left defenseless
frontiers, everywhere open to hostile
invasion.
Hungary was opposed to the war
snd Count Tisza, her prime minister,
objected to the ultimatum to Bervls,
but he was dragged in by her allies,
he says ln conclusion.

Berlin is still under the rule of
bayonets but troops royal to the
Ebert government patrol the streets.
Forces which supported the regime
set up last Saturday by Dr. Wolfgang
Kapp and his followers left Berlin
yesterday.
Radical Uprising Feared
, While radical elements have not
made organised attacks oh the capi
tal economic conditions are described
as serious. The resumption of power
by the constitutional government is
opposed by those who believe It bar
gained with ths reactionary leaders
who tried to seise control, and there
seems to be an urgent demand for
reorganization of the ministry, ' and
changes ln policy in important par
ticulars.
"Reports from Germany outside of
Berlin are of such a character that
a clear view of the situation ls hard
to obtain at preent. White It is said
Soviets have been formed In a num
ber of Important towns and cities
and In industrial districts, it does not
appear the movement is gaining mo
mentum. Communist sympathizers seem to
have met with stern opposition at
many points.
