' QUIET TO-DAY Race Riot Seems to Be
 Queled. . MILITARY CONTROL Disturbances of Last Night Not So Serious as First Reported
 Gangs of Rowdies
 Arrested.

Springfield, O., March This city
 was quiet this morning and aside from
 the presence of the militlamen there
 was no visible evidence of the disor- derly scenes of the night.
 After dispersing various bands of youthful rowdies who last night caused most of the disorder, the militia at an early hour settled down to rest in com plete control of the situation. It was not. however, until Colonel Charles Ammel, commanding the eight com paniesl of soldiers, issued orders 10 ar rest whole parties of men who were found congregated at one place, that the disorder was checked. The plan adopted by the military was to sur round group of men and youths and if they did not Immediately disperse. arrest them and conduct them 70 head quarters. The first result of this plan was the arrest of gang of fourteen rowdies by squad ct police. Within half an hour detachment of the troops rounded up another party of nine and took them to headquarters. From this time forward the crowds on the streets began to disappear and the disorder ceased.
 The next results of~the nights trou- bles were not so serious as the riOtous scenes might naturally have been ex- pected to produce. Three houses oc- cupied by colored families in different localities were burned and several otb- CTS were stoned. Two persons were in jured during the night. Sarah Thorn ton, colored, sustained q broken leg by jumping from window, and 15- year-old white boy received load of buckshot in his leg while crowd was stoning house In the rear of St Jos eph,s church.
 At an early hour today Mayor James M. Todd, chief of police; Rich ard E. O'Brien and the commanding militia officer, Colonel c. s. Ammel, united in the following statement: Tt rests with Police Judge J. J. Miller to end the riots this morning or to en- courage their continuance. The men and boys who were caught red handed by the police and militia last night will be arraigned before Judge Miller this morning. If he deals with them with all the severity the case merits, the rioters who are sentenced will be- come examples to warn those still at large of the risk they are run2ing. Judge Miller will this morning hold the key 10 the situation. The present out come rests with him."
 Brakeman Martin Davis, whose by the drunken negroes, Dean and Ladd. Monday night, was the immediate cause of the rioting, was still alive this morning.
 The authorities are hoping that Davis may not die. They believe that every moment this man lives gives that much more time for the disturbed to subside. If he should lied it is feared that more trouble will follow.
 One of the results of the outbreak Is the citizens movement, which was started last evening. and which is rap- dly taking form to-day, in a call being ssued for meeting of the Commercial dub this evening. It is expected that this movement will not only have much to do with restoring order. but Will be made permanently effective in 'uture emergency. The business men ,f the city are convinced that there las been too much leniency in the of rowdies.
 There is demand that the rioters who were arrested be dealt with se- Terely. A number of attorneys assert d to-day that they would refuse to lefend the rioters.
 Twenty-Five of the rioters were ar raigned In the police court this morn ng. SixTeen of them were charged with rioting and four of these were ilso charged with carrying concealed weapons. Each of these latter was fined 500 and costs and sentenced to the workhouse to work out rhe fines. The others were charged with disor- Ierly conduct and were fined so ana
