Located in Metropolis.

New York, July 19.-With few ex-
CeptiOns all American business firms
and individuals placed by the British
government on the blacklist under
the trading with the enemy act, have
their quarters in New York City.
Most Of these merchants expressed
no surprise today over the action of
Great Britain. J. A. Kahl, an eX-
porter and importer, said:
This blacklist has been in the
hands of bankers all over the world
at least a year, to my personal knoWi-
edge. l have known that l, for one,
have been black-listed. I am and
have been for 20 years an American
citizen Not only has my business,
which was mainly with China, Japan
and far eastern countries, been brok-
en- off completely by seizure of goods
but | have been unable to buy bills
Of exchange or in any other way set
tie my affairs"
Alfred Richter, a trader with Chi
neses and Japanese merchants, said;
My goods have been seized at
Hong Kong and elsewhere regularly
until I stopped doing business. My
mail to agents in Canton, Tien-Tsin,
and other cities were returned to me
The reason, so far as l can guess that

Mr. Richter said he had been a citi-
zen of the United States for % years.
John S. SculIy of Zimmerman and
Forshay, prominent German bankers,
said that all the officers Of his COM
pany are American citizens.
We are considering means of TAX
ing the matter up with the state de
partment within a day or two said
Oscar L. Gubelman of Kanuth,
Nachod & Kuhn, bankers. We feel
that we have been unfairly discrim-
mated against We have information
that many of our cables were inter
fered with"
Charles Hardy, a metal importer,
said the only reason he could think Of
for the presence of his name on the
list was that he had cabled money to
relatives in Germany.

infantry to the Brownsville, Texas,
concentration camp OF the Iowa ma
tionaI guard 1t was stated at Camp
Dodge that the battalion comprising
Companies \. B, c and D, probably

There was little possibility. in the
opinion of officers that the troop

morrow II was pointed out that with
limited switching facilities coupled
with the fact that the interurban line
over which it will be necessary to
transport the troops is a single track
line will make the movement slow.
About - cars divided into trains

quired to move the first battalion.
Traffic experts at the camp today

been obtained for the transportation of

the men would not be forced to travel
the entire distance in day coaches.

Paris. July 19-One of the most
striking episodes of the great SOmme

fort at BiaCheS and the garrison of lib
men by nine French soldiers. The
fort had resisted throughout the artil-

Race Riot Is
FearedNear
Death Scene

Chicago, July 19.-Crowds gathered
in the vicinity of 800 Irving avenue
where yesterday the negro Henry P.
Mcintyre killed four people and was
himself. together with his wife, later
killed. gave rise to fears of possible
race rioting early today and caused so
policemen TO be dispatched to the
scene. They dispersed the crowd
quickly. To prevent further difficulty
negroes were ordered by the police TO
keep off the streets. They obeyed
promptly Extra policemen were
placed on guard in the district as
precaution 1t developed today that
back of the murders of yesterday and
forming an innocent means to them,
was an unserved warrant charging
Mcintyre with disturbing the peace. A
policeman sent thai night to serve the
papers, found Mcintyre away from
home He decided to wait until morn
ing. The police say this caused more
deaths than have figured in a
single crime in years. Reports
from local hospitals this morn
ing indicated that the police
officers and others wounded in yester-
DAYS tragedy probably would recover
Edward Clement, detective sergeant,
was said to be in the most serious con-
dition.
Among the effects found in McIn-
tyres house was a letter which he had
written to Prince Menelik of Abys-
sinia. It was sent in January, 1915,
and returned unopened in April, 1916.
In it Mcintyre proposed cOlonizing
American negroes in Abyssinia, stat
ing that he had organized a church
and also an immigration league in the
name of the AbySsinian government"
although he knew nothing about the
country or government except what
my father taught me or | read in
books, dear sir" Another sentence
read My father taught me from
childhood that A was my country and
that King NJ was my king and ruler;
there are ten African subjects here in
America who know practically moth
ing of Africa" Farther along he
wrote: Some of US don't believe that
the African race has a king, dear sir.
There are thousands of loyal African
people that are willing to come back
to A. if our beloved king will permit
US to, O King"
Another negro, who like Henry
Intyre, worried about the sins of the
Colored race occupied the attention of
the police today. He was George
Flower. a 1aborer who in scant attire
and his body ''anOinted" with lard
was racing up and down in front of
his home trying to drive the devil
from the race" when a policeman ar
rested him.
Chief of Police Healy said today that
he is without authority to restrain
persons who are merely peculiar in
their actions but not disOrderly.
Marked traces of insanity must be
shown, he said, before the police could
act.
The chief made his explanation in
answer to a statement by Judge Harry
Olson, chief justice of the municipal
court that crimes such as that COM
mitted by Mcintyre could be minim-
lied if the police would arrest all per
sons found acting queerly or in a sub
normal manner.
Detectives were at work in the
negro section in which Mcintyre lived
today TO ascertain homes where weap-
ons are kept.
