MORE EAST ST. LOUIS
RIOTS, SHERMAN FEARS
Illinois Senator Urges Congress
sional Probe of Recent Tragic
Race Clashes
WASHINGTON. IuIv ~.

WASHINGTON, July 16
East st. Louis is living ION the crater
Of volcano" and unless prompt steps arc
taken by the Federal Government worse
riots will occur, Senator Sherman, OF Ilii-
nois. told the Senate this afternoon IN
urging adoption Of his resolution creating
a congressional committee to investIEate
the causes Of the recent race riots there
IF the National Guard now in East st
Louis should be withdrawn believe there
would be recurrence Of the lamentable
riots" said Senator Sherman. Something
must be done to strike terror into the hearts
Of the evildoers who still reside in the city.
The colored and white citizens of that
community are living on the edge OF an
other civil commoton, on the crater OF a
volcano"
Senator Tillman, Of South Carolina, also
urged adoption of the resolution, but for
somewhat different reasons
Il have undoubted evidence" he said,
that the riot arose because the negroes
Of the South have been brought to East St
Louis for the purpose Of taking the places OF
white laborers. The average Yankes--we
southerners call all men Yankees north Of
the Mason and Dixon line-has no love for
the negro except for political reasons. They
want his vote and nothing else The more
the northern people know of the negro the
less they like him. The further of he "
the better they like him"

Baker Is Accused
in Baseball Plot
Continued from PAGE One


that circuit. 30 IL was only logical that
Johnson's suspicious we're aroused He put
Baker on the rack and asked him TO explain.
The story OF the plot. however no longer
Is secret, but II turned out TO be nothing
that would play havoc with the American
League. Two weeks ago Allan Sothoron'
pitcher on the St Louis Browns, became
dissatisfied with conditions and, cacording
TO the dope, wanted to jump the club 1t is
claimed that he said that the st. Louis
club did not live up to its agreement ana no
was ready to quit. He heard OF the Upland
Club in the Delaware County League ana
wrote Frank NJ Miller asking him IL he
could join the club. After conditions had
been explained everything was 6Xed and
Sothoron was to Join the club last week. ON
Saturday. however he wired that he decided
to stay with St Louis and called everything
off
J. Borton weeks, president of the Della
ware County League also offered an ex-
PLANTATION. THE charge that Baker had
anything to do with plot to Induce players
to jump to this league is all bosh, he de-
clared In the first place, we don't DO
that kind of business, and 1t would be foolish
II we tried. Unless a man is not legally
tied to a big-league club, we will have
nothing to do with him. We have no place
for contract jumpers.
Baker had nothing to do with sothoron's
decision to Join the Upland club. The pitcher
got MlllerS name from dHONntl plas Ct .
whose name / will not divulge. Anyway
Baker was in the East when Sotheron wrote
for job. so how could he tell him about II?
THE entire trouble was started by dis
gruntled ball player who imagined he was
receiving a raw deal. Sothoron wanted TO
sever all connections with the st, Louis
club, and offered to come here of his own
free will and accord. We did not ask MIN
TO jump the league and doubt II any other
players told him to do so. II isn't crime
for one big league player TO give a man
ayers address to another and, to my knowl-
edge that is the oply thing that was done.
But you can take it from me, Baker has
nothing to do with It,"
According to a dispatch from Chicago
johnson said he was informed that Baker
listened attentively to a proposition from
Independent clubs In the East, who offered
him a sum to Jump from New York, and
that he approached Allen Sothoron star
young pitcher, with the st. Louis Browns
on the proposition.
Il wrote Baker to explain and he didn't
answer" said johnson. "l'll give him until
tomorrow. II he doesn't come through
clean he will be subject to heavy fine
Baker quit the Athletics at one time 70
play Independent ball. but returned to the
American League.
johnson spent Sunday in st. Louis in
vestgatlng the Sothoron angle of the al
| legged deal

10 JAILED, Is FINED
FOR MASKING IN PARKS
Ways of Man With a Maid Prove
Costly in These Partic-
ular Instances

Ten young men languishing in despair in
Moyamensing and fifteen others whose
pockets are lighter by $3.50 are Of the pro-
found conviction today that there's some
thing to this talk about the high cost Of
living
The young men belong TO the worm sre-
ces Of humanity that should be more
mashed than mashing This was what Ser
geant Rodgers. OF the Park Guard, thought
last night when he detailed special plain
clothes guards to go into the highways and
byways Of Fairmount and Hunting Parks
and get" the mashers.
The catch" totaled twenty-five wan and
pale ones. who were hauled before Magis-
trate Stevenson at the Thirty-ninth street
and Lancaster avenue police station today
They ranged in ages from beardless boys
OF sixteen to those who have learned to
handle a razor without endangering the
jugular vein. Some brought their manmas
and papas with them. Others, bold, bad
men, came alone.
According 10 Sergeant Rodgers, who pre-
ferred the charge against them, they were
guilty OF passing airy perslflage to strange
young women who go to the Park, not for
this sort Of thing, but TO get the air and
look at the stars. Specifically the young
men said
Hello, kids; goin' our way?" or
Gee. you've got pretty complexion
cutey" or
say, little one, got match?"
Now everything's gone up in wartime,
and this sort Of thing Is particularly ex-
pensve. After recommending uniforms to
some Of them and mothers apron strings
to others. Magistrate Stevenson fined each
OF them So and costs Those who couldn't
pony up" We're given five days in "Moko"
for meditation upon the ways of a man
with a maid.

Two Of the largest orders in the history

at about S14,0OOOOO is for ESQ locomotives
for the Russian Government the other
amounting to Si,5OO,OOO, is for 100 lpcomo-

to Russia is to be made in the first half
Of 1918, but the British engines are to be
turned over as fast as completed.
The contract with the Russian Govern
ment is under the guarantee OF the United
states. This is not a reflection upon the
financial dealings Of that nation. according
to Alba B, Johnson president Of the Bald

specified in the SlOo.OoO,oOO loan bill of
the United states to Russia that payment
should be made for war contracts and our
order comes under that agreement"

Last weeks buyers were sellers today

NEW YORK. Lnlv 1s.

NEW YORK, July l6.
There was an easier tendency at the cot
ton opening, July starting unchanged and
other months showing declines Of 3S to so
points on the call. While some traders
were talking Of the German situation, tho
point was made that there has been no
change in this condition. and the lower
levels were attributed almost entirely to
the fact that many private reports were re-
ceived Of rains in central, west and south
Texas although the map recorded only SO
inch at Palestine with generally clear con-
dtions elsewhere There was a lack of de-
mand, as was indicated by the fact that
october sold first at 256Oc and then drop
ped to 25.i4c before the end of the call
while December fell from 25.4ic to 25.29c
Later further decline of IL points was
made in October
Later in the morning the market had a
20 point rally on covering. but failed to hold
the improvement. owing TO the official fore
cast for unsettled and showery weather in
Texas. october sold as low as 251Oc and
December, 25.0ic, or nearly 81 a bale down
from Saturdays close. July, however was
down only about IS points, and it was ru-

covering by Japanese interests who had been
prevented from making deliveries by the
railroad congestion. Wall street and local
traders sold on the break and Liverpool
operated on both sides of the market
Uptown interests, southern operators and
Liverpool were fairly good sellers in the
dealings, and while the buying by spot
houses, local traders and Wall street was
fair 1t was not sufficient to absorb the
iofferings, which were competitive in most
Instances. Commission houses did business
on both sides of the market
The receipts at the ports for the day
were estimated at 1000 bales, against 7O1C
bales last week, 1O9O7 bales last year and
