135 HURT ON FOURTH
Six Deaths Reported, Compared With
Seven Last Year—653 Injured on
Corresponding Day in 1916.
Chicago—Fourth of July celebra
tions seem to have taken another long
stride toward absolute sanity.
Re
ports of casualties received from all
parts of the country up to a late hour
the Fourth are so far below the num
ber received at the same hour last
year as to indicate that Independence
Day in 1917 will establish a remark-
able record.
Six deaths have been reported com
pared with a total of seven for the
first night last year, and while that
number may be increased to the record
of 1916, it is the decrease in the num
ber of injured which stands out as not
able.
Only 135 persons injuerd, with just
a single case in Chicago, was the
wonderful answer to the campaign of
education for a sane Fourth celebra
tion which has been conducted through-
out the counrty for a number of years.
Last year the injured list numbered
653.
Most encouraging are advices from a
number of points that during the year
ordinances or other regulations against
the sale and use of fireworks had been
put into effect, with the satisfactory
result that no lives were lost and few
persons had been hurt.
Reports of fatalities came from the
following points:

Regulations Based on Need.
"The regulations have been drawn
with a view to the needs and circum
stances of the whole country, and pro
vide a system which it is expected
will work with the least Inequality
and personal hardship. Any system of
selecting men for military service
whether voluntary or involuntary in
Its operation, necessarily selects some
men to bear the burden of danger and
sacrifice for the whole Nation. The
system here provided places all men of
military age upon an even plane, and
then, by a selection which neither
favors the one nor penalizes the other,
calls out the requisite number for
service.
“The successful operation of this
law and of these regulations depends
necessarily upon the loyalty, patriotism
and justice of the members of the
boards to whom Its operation la com
mitted and I admonish every member
of every local board and of every dis
trict board of review that their duty
to their country requires an Impartial
and fearless performance of the deli
cate and difficult duties intrusted to
them. They should remember as to
each individual case presented to them
that they are called upon to adjudi
cate the most sacred rights of the in
dividual and to preserve untarnished
the honor of the Nation.
“Our armies at the front will be
strengthened and sustained if they be
composed of men free from any sense
of injustice In the mode of selection
and they will be Inspired to loftier
efforts In behalf of a country In which
the citizens called upon to perform high
public functions perform them with
justice, fearlessness and impartiality.”

Police reserves stopped the rioting

The police took into custody some of

The procession consisted of hunrdeds

23 STATES MADE BONE-DRY
Reed Amendment Gives Prohibitionists
Greatest Victory in History.
Wahintgon, D. C. — Twenty-three
states became bone-dry Saturday mid-
night, the effective hour of the Reed
amendment prohibiting shipment of
liquor into dry territory where its
manufacture or sale is prohibited.
Eleven other states are partially affec
ted by the legislation, which has been
hailed by temperance advocates as the
greatest single step toward abolition
of the liquor traffic in the nation’s his
tory.
The law bars from prohibition areas
all mail matter containing advertise
ments or solicitations for orders for
intoxicants.
Justice and postoffice department
officials have made extensive prepara
tions for enforcement of the statute.
No ruling has been made regarding the
status of medicines containing alcohol
and that question may be among the
first to be passed on by the courts un
der the legislation.
The language of the anti-shipment
section is very comprehensive, impos
ing a fine of $1000 and imprisonment
for six months, or both, on any person
who shall “order, purchase or cause
intoxicating liquors to be transported
in interstate commerce except for sci
entific, sacramental or mechanical pur
poses into any state or territory, the
laws of which state or territory pro
hibits the manufacture or sale therein
of intoxicating liquors for beverage
purposes.”
The same penalties are prescribed
for violations of the anti-advertising
section. For a second offense in eith
er case the penalty is made one year’s
imprisonment.
Following are the states wholly
affected by the act: Alabama, Ari
zona, Arkansas, Colorado, Georgia,
Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Missis
sippi, Nebraska,
North Carolina,
North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon,
Rhode Island, South Carolina, South
Dakota, Tennessee, Vermont, Virgin
ia, Washington and West Virginia.
Food Bill May Be Delayed.
Washington, D. C. — A formidabe
midsummer legislative program with
food, prohibition and revenue and ma
jor measures, still confronts congress
in its war session, which began three
months ago July 2.
With business congested in the sen
ate and the house marking time in re
cess, senate leaders hoped Saturday to
make rapid progress on the food con
trol bill, with its provision prohibiting
the manufacture of distilled spirits
and send it to conference by the end
of the week.
Two Pro-Germans Expelled.
Mexico City—R. Zubaran, former
Mexican minister to Germany and
former representative of the constitu
tional government in Washington, now
a leader of the Mexican senate, and
Jesus Ureta, best-known orator in the
country and one of the leaders in the
house of deputies, were expelled from
the Constitutional Liberal party, which
has a majority in congress.
This ac
tion was attributed to the pro-German
sentiments of the men.
$10,000,000 lent Britain.
Washington, D. C. — The Treasury
department has placed an additional
$10,000,000 to it the credit of England,
making total loans to Great Britain
for war purposes of $560,000,000.
This makes a total to the allies of
$7,018,000.000.

is Great Joy to Russians.
Petrograd—Russia has resumed the
offensive. More than 10,000 prisoners,
many guns and other articles of war
material and several strongly fortified
Austro-German positions in Galicia
prove it. They bear testimony to the
mighty smash delivered July 1, the
precise time set for an offensive by
War Minister Kerensky several weeks
ago in a communication to the United
States government.
The Brilliant Russian advance, the
news of which has pent a wave of re
joicing through the entire country,
was led by War Minitser Kerensky in
person.
For the last four days the war min
ister has been continuously at the
front, spending every effort to urge
the troops to advance. He finally rode
to the front-line trenches, and, placing
himself at the head of the troops, gave
the order to advance.
The spectacle of the popular war
minister on the firing line accomplish
ed what oratory had failed to do, and
the Rusisan line swept forward into
the German trenches.
The heretofore lethargic, monstrous
army punished the forces of the enemy
kaisers most severely.
The attacks
were as vicious as the recent frater
nizing with the foe had been fool
hardy.
The Turks, too, felt the strength of
the reorganized arms of the revolu
tionary army. The Ottomans, in the
Caucasus, were routed, and at last

St. Louis Flames.
East St. Louis, Ill. — Fires were
burning in five sections of East St.
Lious at 1 o’clock Tuesday morning
and at least 20 dead negro bodies and
crowded hospitals testified to the ter
ror that reigned here while mob after
mob swept the streets seeking negroes
whom they might slay.
Five negro sections of the city were
fired by mobs, terrorized negroes fled
from their burning homes only to meet
bullets from guns of the rioters, four
other negroes were shot by snipers and
two were lynched.
One white man was killed by a negro
sniper, and before the burning began
four nergoes and one white man were
killed. This included the detective
sergeant, whose death at the hands of
a negro mob late Sunday night was the
direct cause of the outbreak Monday
afternoon and Monday night.
Estimates of the number of dead run
up to 100 and higher, but these esti
mates are purely conjectural. The ex
act number slaughtered probably will
never be known, as it is thought that
many bodies were consumed in the
flames.
Adjutant General Frank S. Dickson
arrived shortly after midnight and
took charge of the situation.
He said
the troops would be distributed in
small groups throughout the city and
that they would be instructed to dis
perse every gathering of persons for
any purpose whatever.
Body is Found in Basement.
Seattle—The body of S. S. Klumph,

wounds, was found Wednesday morn

The police ar

nearby. The police say the appearance
of the body indicated that Klumph had
been killed in a rear room of the Hal
lock house, and his body dragged across
a courtyard to the basement where it
was found. In Mrs. Hallock’s apart
ment the police found George Brown,
a clerk, aged 39, who was arrested.

charges that the law is unconstitu
