more games.

MORE RIOTING EXPECTED

Springfield, ILL.,, Aug. 20. The
local authorities began today the
task of overcoming the handicap
in their efforts to fix the respons-
ibilitv for the recent riot, caused
by the failure of the coroner's
inquest to hold any one response
BILE for the death of Scott Burton,
the negro lynched in the "black
belt" last Friday night.
The open verdict of the coron-
er's jury was a blow to the hopes
of the states attorney and other
officials who saw in it confirm
alton of the suspicion that wit
nesses to the rioting would fail
to recognize leaders of the mob
when called upon to testify in
public proceedings.
The grand jury went ahead
with its Investigations today,
but there was considerably less
enthusiasm regarding it's work
than was displayed two days a.
go.
The departure of all except two
regiments of the state militia
caused a renewal Of the threats
that there would be something
doing" after the soldiers had
gone. and this feeling was reflec-
ted in all circles of the city.
In fact. a renewal of the riot
ing is expected momentarily, and
the negroes especially fear that
once the mob is started again,
no power of the state can pre-
vent the most serious disorder.
