SEVERAL ARRESTS MADE
AS Result of Investigation Into Fri
day Nights Rioting-Almost I'm
believable Tenets of Religion An
nOunced by Some of Those Who
Were Jailed.

New Orleans, October 19.-Sixteen
members of the so-called Council
Of God" Of negroes arrested ten of
them charged with murder, was the
result of today's police investigation
into last nights race riot.
Some almost unbelievable !tenets Of
their alleged religion were announced
today by those arrested. One of these
beliefs was that white men should he
WorShipped as deities. In apparent
support of the existence Of this belief
the police pointed out that q few days
ago four leaders Of the council called
on Mayor Behrman requesting $780,
900 to build tabernacle for their
sect in this city.
It was learned also that some Of
the members had been forced into the
sect by threats of death. Undue excite
ment was the only reason the police
| could learn for last nights outbreak.
| One death, two wounded. one in
danger of dying. They are Patrolman
, WencI1. whose neck is cut by a razor,
| and Edward HOnOre. negro, and al
legged leader Of the sect. Sergeant
| Whea,ley who was announced as ia
tally injured. is recovering.
Last nights trouble started during
d
raZOrs on Policeman CambiOn because
he entered the church building to
investigate reports of a distu ,bance
cause by boys throwing stones
through the windows. RaZors were
drawn across his face and neck. NOR
tally Wounding him. Many at the
meeting then fled. Those who remain
ed and barricaded themselves were
, well-armed and many guns and pistols
were found unda the meeting house
The fighting occurred on New Or
leans street and did not START In fronl
of German Presbyterian church as
stated in early reports.

COLOR PHOTOGRAPHY

Up to two years or so ago no photo graphic expert hesitated to declare that color-photography-that is, the repro duction of colors in photographs-was absolutely impossible. But in these ad- vanced days nothing is impossible, ap- parently, and now one of the very men who has said all his life that the thing could not be done has perfected plate which marks a long and distinct step toward the desired end. Briefly this man--Alfred Stieglitz of New York has developed photographic plate which, used in an ordinary camera, brings away with it, after an exposure, all the natural colors of the object or objects photographed. This, in itself, is a marvellous achievement; and while the development has not gone beyond the plate, as yet, it having been found impossible tO transfer the colors to pa per, it is quite reasonable to believe, in view of the wonderful progress made in other branches of science and invention that within a year or two we shall be offered opportunities to sit for photo graphs in which the colors of our eyes hair and clothing and the tints of oul flesh shall be accurately reproduced.
 A Frenchman, Mir. A. Lumiere, pro duced color plate some time before Mir. Stieglitz, but the American s work is admittedly so much superior as tc relegate the French invention to tn, background. It was Mir. Lumiere s ex hibit in Paris last summer which let Mir. Stieglitz to attempt to produce something better, and from this evi dence of the typical American spiri
 we are led to hope that perfection il eolor-photography will ultimately be at tained by citizen of this country.

Thomas A.

The stomach can do just so much work and no more, and when you overload it, or when you eat the wrong kind of food, the digestive or gans cannot possibly do the work de- manded of them. It is at such times that the stomach needs help; it de- mands help, and warns you by head aches, belching, sour stomach, nausea and indigestion. You should attend to this at once by taking something that will actually do the work for the stom- ach. Kodol will do this.

SHERMAN SAYS HUGHES
 BOOM IS IN ASCENDANCY

WASHINGTON, D. C., October 16.-- Representative sherman of New York, state chairman of the republican con gressional campaign committee, remark ed while in Washington today that the Hughes boom in New York was the live Hest growing presidential boom that he knew of. He said that there was no one who could get the delegation quick CT or more easily, and that unless the president would stand for another nom- ination the present governor of New York would possibly be the strongest candidate before the next national con- vention.
 The president could be renominated and the situation might be such, in MT. sherman opinion, that the present chief executive would be compelled to give the word one way or the other If he let it be known that he would take it again, there would be no t,ouble about a nomination. For the present, however, the Hughes boom was in the ascendant and would be heard of later.
