CHICAGO, July s.-Prcsident Debs in
an interview with a United Press re-
porter last evening said. in speaking
of the riots and shooting by the troops:
You can say that | greatly deplore
the rioting and disturbances, and re-
gret the shooting down of men who.
am informed, were really in part of
the mob that caused the trouble. Icer-
tainly do deplore this most unfortunate
occurrence. Yet it cannot be said they
injure our cause. Any mob is danger
Gus. You can find a crowd of people
assembled through curiosity to look
upon some sight. Some little thing
will start crowd, some trivial, unim-
portant matter, and perhaps before a
realization of the act itself or the con-
sequence there is riot. Innocent peo-
pie have probably gathered together as
spectators and jammed in the crowd are
in no wise to blame for the trouble
ensuing or in no manner interested be-
yond being spectators. Yet with a
rush comes the riotOuS demonstration.
and even disinterested and indifferent
bystanders are suddenly aroused by
that terrible power of mob and fran
tically participate in whatever is done
] cannot say that the strikers are tO
blame in this matter-in fact, am con-
fident that they were in no wise in
stigators of the trouble.
No, do not think that or my as
sociates are responsible. Corporate
power and the unwise action of the
government are solely responsible, and
this will certainly be borne out by the
facts.
I'm regard to the reports that am
to be arrested have nothing to say. If
j have in nany way violated a municipal,
state or federal law, am willing to
stand the consequence and take my
medicine. am sure have done moth
ing in violation of the law No. will
not go to Jail if arrested upon baila-
BILE charge. can tell you this: | can
furnish two million dollars bail in two
minutes if necessary. I have engaged
a lawyer on the strength of the reports
of impending arrest, and will fight the
matter to the end.

cIgners Fired by Free whisky.
SPRING VALLEY, ILL.,, July 7.-Em-
boldened by being uninterrupted in
their looting expedition last night, the
vicious mob of foreign anarchists
committed more depr1 Stions yester-
day, and being filleSEpwith the beer
and whisky that saloonkeepers have
given them in response to their de-
mands and their threats they are to-
night in condition to do any act of
violence. Since early morning the
mob of 1000 men and women has
terrorized the citizens.
This afternoon the mob went to Sam
uel HOrner's butcher shop and de-
manded meat. The proprietor refused,
and then the mob rushed in, beat the
men in charge, compelled them to cut
up the meat and then helped them
selves until all the stock was gone.
The mob then turned its attention to
grocery stores, and at several they
were given provisions. Those who re-
fused to give goods to the mob were
threatened with looting, and it is
probable that the next twenty-fOur
hours will see the destruction of these
stores.
1t is reported that 200 men from this
place are on the way to Ladd, little
mining town four miles distant, to
loot the coal eompany's store at that
place.
