After Whites Refuse To Work.
Latter Us Dynamite.

CHATTANOOGA. Tenn, Feb. s.
That three Negroes have been killed
and the danger OF rloting is at an end
is the laters news from Hales Bar,
where whites were being besieged III
the government dam construction
camp by Negroes armed with rifles.
Capt William Burke, who left for
the scene OF the disorders early today
Is reported to have telephoned the fol
lowing message to local police head
quarters:
Three Negroes dead. Trouble all
over. Start back in two hours after
We breakfast"
The trouble arose over the desigua-
tion OF Negro forenen for gang or
white workmen and the refusal OF the
whites to work under such an arrange
ment. No sooner had the whites laid
down their tools than the Negroes
armed themselves with rifles, insti-
tuting a state Of siege and threaten
ing TO exterminate the whites II they
did not return TO work.
The detail OF Chattanooga police, SO
far as il is known. were the only Off
GERS dispatched TO the scene and IN
the absence OF details II Is believed the
Negroes were killed with dynamite
secured fIom the supply in the con-
struction camp.

cine containing tonic of iron. Quinlne
and strychine up TO within a few
days of his death
This testimony was given by Miss
Pearl Keller, Swope's nurse. Miss
Keller cared for Swope from Sept. IL
until the day OF his death. She testi-
fed that the millionaire took the mix
ture daily in addition TO the treat
ment given b. DR.. b. c. Hyde. Previ-
ously, in a deposition taken In a dam

Pangler, office partner OF Swope, testi'
fed that Swope took a patent medi-
cine containing strychnine while at
his office.
Physicians say the fact that Swope
took much Of this concoction might
explain the presence OF poison in his
vital organs. II was pointed out that
Swope was in a weakened condition
when he last took the medicine.
Eight witnesses beside Miss Keller
testified. Or. +. l.. Stewart testified
that while he had no part IN the au-

Our Arm will send a brief to the

There IS an inside story behind the
determined fight being made by the
Allis-Chalmers Co. TO land the CON
tract.
For years the AllisChalmers Co. has
lad almost a monopoly on building
this type OF machinery. Before draw
ing up the specifications for the De-
troit plant. City Engineer r. II. McCor-
mick and Consulting Engineer Theo-
dore Hinchman visited various plants.
Their ideas were gathered from seeing
the operation o. Aiils-Chalmers ma
Chinery.
In consequence. the specifications for
the Detroit job call for type of con-
struction that is distinctly Allls-
Chalmers. That firm submitted a safe,
conservative bid of $l1S.00O. feeling Sc
cure that other firms would vary suf-
frcfently rom the specifications to land
the contract for the Milwaukee con-
Germ.

JURY SOON TO
TRY DR.. FR|TCH
Eleven Men Accepted and Panel Is
Likely To Be Completed During
Afternoon.

The selection OF a jury TO try DR..
George A. Frltch on the charge oil
causing the death OF Mabel Millman
by a criminal operation is about COM
pleted. and testimony may begin dur
ing the afternoon.
Attorney +. T. Lodge, for Fritch. an
nounced, Tuesday morning, that he
was satisfied with the jury and for
time 1t was believed that the panel
would be accepted, but Prosecuting
Attorney Van Zile excused Juror John
w. Dorsey, and II was necessary to
continue the examination OF talesmen.
The prosecution has two peremptory
challenges left, and the defense one.
The eleven jurors remaining in the
box when the noon recess was de-
clared were:
Joseph Clixby, No. 363 Perry-st. !;
William Summers. No. 30S Hancock

William A. Seyler. No. 1894 Field-ave. !;
Charles Wright, No. 233 Gratiot-ave.;
George Larkens. No. $50 Fifthst.
During the morning the attorneys
engaged In a lively argument over the
question OF whether a Juror should
be disqualified by the fact that he
might consider the alleged criminal
operation on Mabel Millman, as con-
nected with the mutilation OF the body
and all the gruesome circumstances
following the discovery Of fragments
of the corpse in the River Rouge.
The dispute arose when Juror Bau-
bic was being examined Attorney
Lodge asked the talesman II he could
weigh the evidence as to the alleged
operation. without reference to the
mutilation OF the body
The talesman was confused by the
question and did not answer at once.
IL object to the question" said
Prosecuting Attorney Van Zile, inter
rupting. The defense may question
the Juror about his state of mind con
corning his private opinio nregarding
such evidence. but Mr.. Lodge has no
right to tie up the juror with lot
OF answers to questions OF that sort.
We'll, then. Mr.. Bauble," said
Lodge. can you decide the matter by
looking at the killing and the mutila-
ton separately"
yes, | can" announced Baubie, and
the dispute was closed.
