MUST WE FIGHT GREECE?
HelIenes i'm Virginia Treated Like Jap
anese in California.

Roanoke, Va, July 15.-Roanoke is
quiet, after four hours of rioting, when
a mob wrecked nine Greek restaur-
ants three Greek shoe shining parlors,
and two Syrian shops. The riot was
caused by a dispute about 5 cents be-
tween a Greek employed in the Bel
mont Greek restaurant on Salem ave-
nue. and an American who went there
to buy a sandwich.
Seven places were wrecked on Salem
avenue, three on Jefferson street, one
on Nelson street and one on Railroad
avenue. Five men have been arrested
and lodged in Jail; and one of them
has been released on $3.50 bail for his
appearance at the hearing next Tues
day. None of the Greeks is under
arrest.
At all of the wrecked places the pro-
prietors set to work cleaning out the
debris, to be rea dy to resume business.
The Greeks have employed counsel to
look after their interests and have
already called the attention of the
Greek consulate in this country to the
affair.
While the disturbance was in pro-
gress, Mayor Joel H. Cutchin. who was
in the street begging the crowds to dis
perse was struck on the legs and Sc
verely bruised by rocks thrown by
drunken parties. Flying stones also
struck Police Justice /. B. Brian, Po-
lice Sergeant Overstreet and Police
men Manning, King and Evans and
Chief Engineer John Waggoner of the
Central fire department. Waggoner is
on crutches today.
The fire department was called out
to throw water on the crowd and when
the hose was turned on there were
cries of "Cut. the hose" One man
stuck a knife in the hose, but was
driven off by the big stream that was
played on him.

FAR EASTERN BUREAU.
A New Department Has Been Estab-
lished at Washington

Washington, July 15.-With the view
of placing all diplomatic and consular
matters relating to Japan and China in
the hands of officials familiar with con-
ditions in the Orient, the state depart
ment has perfected the organization of
a Far Eastern Bureau which will ha ye
charge of all correspondence and prelim-
mary treaty negotiations with the ORR
entail governments. This new departure
is more or less in the nature of an ex-
pertinent, which if ii proves satisfactory
may lead to the organization of similar
bureaus to conduct diplomatic and con-
sular correspondence and negotiations
with the Central and South American
republics, European and ASiatic cOun-
tries
Huntington Wilson, the third assist
ant secretary of state, who for number
of years served as secretary to the
American legation and embassy at
Toxic, is chief of the new bureau His
two assistants are Percival Heintzleman
of Pennsylvania, formerly student in
terpreter attached to the American le-
cation at Pekin and later vice and dep
uty consul general at Canton and Dalny,
and William Phillips of Massachusetts,
formerly private secretary to Anbassa-
dor Choate at London, and for the past
two years second secretary to the Amer
ican legation al Pekin. Mr. Phillips ar
rived from Pekin few days ago to en-
ter upon his new duties in the new de-
partment.
All of these young diplomats speak
and read the Oriental languages, are
familiar with the domestic politics of
the Far Eastern nations and well yersed
in questions of diplomacy now pending
between the United States and the Ori-
entail countries. The preliminary ne
gotiations between this country and
Japan in drafting new treaty prob
ably will be referred to the Far Eastern
bureau.
Another important duty which will
devolve upon the newly organized
bureau will be to consider the numer-
Gus positions and diplomatic notes
which are annually presented to the
state department suggesting changes IN
the existing treaty between the United
States ard China.

HE FELL 1000 FEET.
Aeronaut Suffers Only Slight Scratch
But Airship Is Ruined.

Springfield, O., July 15.-Gail Robin
son of Buffalo fell 1000 feet with Knab-
enshue's airship and escaped injury ex-
cept for scratch on his forehead. Thou
sands of persons watching his flight
saw the balloon drop to one side when
the gas rushed out. Then the machine
began to fall rapidly. Many put their
hands over their eyes, while women and
children screamed. Robinson was calm
1y surveying his dilapidated machine
when the people rushed to him after he
reached the earth
Robinson says that when he started
on his second trial to reach the center
of the city he went higher than usual
so as to get free of the wind When he
was up about 1000 feet he was struck
by counter currents. The propeller was
thrown against the end of the balloon
and the rapidly revolving wheel cut
open the gas bags. The balloon immed-
lately began to settle rapidly, but Rob-
inson climbed quickly to the top of the
propeller. This tipped the balloon up
and formed parachute. AS soon as
this was done the air entered the bag
and then the machine came down grad
ual1y. When within a few feet of the
ground Robinson jumped out. The en-
gine and airship apparatus were smash
ed, but the gas bag can be mended

How Mail Agents Escaped From Being

Six persons met instant death and
twenty were injured when eastbound
vestibule No. AZ on the Southern rail-
way collided with a switch engine one
mile west of johnson City at 1880
o'clock last night. The switch engine
was in charge of a hostler, who, when
he saw the fast passenger train COM
ing toward him, reversed his engine
and jumped to safety. Scarcely had
he done so before the passenger crash
ed into the light engine with fearful
force. The engine of the passenger
baggage car and mail car and second
class coach were derai1ed and over
turned, but the switch engine was not
lifted from the rails and with full head
of steam started on wild run which
was not ended until a switch was
thrown for it and it was ditched at

NEARING A SHOW DOWN
Existing Telegraph Situation Can't
Last Much Longer.

San Francisco, Cal, July 15.-Un-
less a settlement of the commercial
telegraphers' strike is effected to-
morrow a general strike may be de-
clared. request for settlement
will be in the nature of a demand, for
the men feel that they have the ap-
proval of President Small as well as
the individual endorsement of the
membership of the Commercial Teleg-
raphers' union throughout the coun-
try. The statement is made that if
the national executive board should
attempt to force a settlement dis
pleasing to the strikers. President
Small will call out the Chicago en-
ployes as the first move in the extern
sion of the strike zone.
Labor Commissioner Neill is not, it
is said, expected to be able to accom-
plish much, as he announced he had
come TO look over the situation for
himself and had no definite ultimatum
from President Clowry of the West
err Union to submit.
President Small and the executive
officers held a long conference last
night, but would not divulge the
nature of their discussion. Commits
sioner Neil1 made no visits yesterday,
but said he thought a settlement was
vet possible with concessions on both
sides. Small said the time for talking
had ended and would not discuss the
situation other than to say that hope
for peace had not been abandoned

ROOSEVELT AT REST.
For Once the President Is Having an
Actual Vacation.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, July 15.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt is more fully realizing
his desire for freedom from official
cares and pressure from political per-
sonages than he or those charged with
the responsibility of making the presi-
dents vacation a success had hoped.
For a month Secretary Loeb has
made effectual use of the two words to
which he has trimmed his summer vo-
cabulary, write it, No matter how
important one may think he is, how
pressing may be the business, or
whether one applies in person, by let
ter, telegraph or telephone to arrange
for an interviey at Sycamore Hill, in
every instance one gets a reply in the
summer vocabulary of the secretary,
write it, And it is Mr.. Loeb's most
important business to mean these
words every time he says them. If
visitor should belong to the numerous
he leaves the blockaded portals of
Oyster Bay repeating to everyone that
''The President really wanted to see
me, but Loeb would not let him" If
a politician with pull calls he US
ually takes one of the seventeen daily
trains back to New York and denies
with all positiveness which the secre-
tary has used to him, that he ever was
in Oyster Bay in his life.
This years plans, which are to per-
init the presidents governing hand to
control with ever so light a touch un-
til September has departed, have
solved practically all of the different
problems of giving the president of
the United States real vacation. With
the exception of ar hour or SO day,
with the routine official matters, he is
completely free to recreate or medi-
tate.

On account of the activity of the
antimilitarists, who tried to organize
a demonstration against the army
throughout France. exceptional pre-
cautions were taken to safeguard
President Fallieres.
The attempt on his life occurred on
Avenues Des Champs Elysees while
the president was returning to the
palace from LOngchamps, where he
had reviewed the garrison of Paris in
the presence of 250,000 enthusiastic
people. Premier Clemenceau and M.
Lanes, the presidents secretary, were
with the president in his landau, which
was escorted by squadron of cuiris-
seres.

The carriage had safely emerged
from the Bois De Boulogne, where the
antfmilitarists had stationed them
selves with the intention of hooting
the soldiers, and was descending the
broad Champs Elysees amid the ac-
clamations of the crowds throngtng the
sidewalks, who were shouting 'Vive
Fallieres,' "Vive L'Armee," when, at
the corner of Lesueur street Maflle,
from the curb fired in quick success
sion two shots point blank at the
president.
Miraculously, no one was hit. Presi-
dent Fallieres was cool and collected
when the cortege stopped. The dlpIo-
mats who were following the presi-
dents landau alighted from the car

Finding that nobody had been injur-
ed, by the presidents orders the cortege
moved on. In the meantime two po-
licemen seized Maille, who made no re-
sistance The police with difficulty
prevented the irritated crowds from
lynching the prisoner, until a Gordon OF
reserves came up and conducted him to
the station.
Maille refused to give any reasons for
his act, saying:
DeIuSiOnS of Persecution.
THE revelations I have are so grave
and serious that I will only make them
before a magistrate for transmission TO
the chief of state. 1t is a matter be-
tween the government and me. I am
the victim of many villainies.'
The attempt on the life of President
Fallieres probably will strengthen the
governments intention to put a stop to
the nti-militarists' propaganda, which
already is demoralizing the army and
becoming menace to the republic.
