TUMU[T IN CHAMBER AS
FRANCE VOTES WAR FUND
Down With War;" Shouts Socialist.
Praise for America and Allies
Brings Applause.

PARIS. September 27.-The chamber
of deputies in extraordinary session
yesterday passed the appropriation for
the fourth quarter of the year.
Interruptions by Pierre Brizon, a So
cialist deputy, who was one of the pill
grims to the conference with German
socialists at Kienthal, threw the cham
ber into tumult. NJ. Brizon asked If
American railroad men are coming to
France in order that French railroad
workers may be sent to the front.
The deputy attacked Great Britain,
saying: You are shedding the blood
of France instead of that of her allies IS
The whole chamber protested, and
Emile Constant cried: I'VE are not
fighting for the Americans. 1t is the
Americans who are coming to fight for
US"
Against Allies, Against France.
The finance minister. Louis Klotz,
said: "All the allies are fighting for
the same cause, and every word spoken
against them is against France"
Deputy RriZon declared that he. with
Deputies Raffin-Dugens and Alexandra
Blanc. who went with him to Kien-
thai, would not vote for the appropria-
tions. NJ. BriZon shouted: Down with
the war. Long live peace"
Yes" said President Deschana1, I'll
you mean a French peace"
N. Moutet, one of the socialist men,
bers of the mission to Russia, took up
the question of railroad workers again
and asked that an end be put to the ru.
mors in certain quarters to German in
spiration.
The minister of transport, Alber,
Claveille. said the political phase of the
cooperation of the allies was the prov
ince of the premier and the foreign of
fee. but that. speaking as a technician
he would say that the coming of Ameri.
can technical men would increase the
transportation facilities considerably

STATUE
To DEAD HERO
CELEBRATION OF INDEPEN-
DENCE DAY TAKES FORM OF
UNWILLING MONUMENT TO
MEMORY OF COL. CRAWFORD.

Connellsville, Pa, July A bronze
statue of Colonel William Crawford,
pioneer citizen of Connellsville, who
was burned at the stake by the Della
ware Indians near Sandusky, in 1882,
was unveiled here today with impress
sixe exercises. The statue, which was
designed by C. s. Fitzpatrick, has been
erected on the lawn of the Carnegie
library. The Oration at the unveil-
ing was delivered by DR.. George P.
Donehoo, secretary of the State His
toriCal Commission.
Colonel Crawford was native Of
Virginia, and an intimate friend o.
George Washington. After servir-.
in the Pontiac war in 1864, he took
up his home in Connellsville He was
an efficient officer in Dunmore's
campaign against the Indians and
served during the entire period of the
Revolution One of the bravest of
frontiersmen, he often led parties
against the Indians, to whom, from
his success, he was particularly OBJ
noxious. In May, 1882, he reluctant
ly accepted the command of an eXpe-
dition against the Delaware Indians.
He fell into an ambuscade, was taken
prisoner and tortured to death.

LIVELY CHASE
FOR7 BLOCKS
FEDERAL OFFICERS OVERTAKE
MAN SUSPECTED OF FURNISH
ING LIQUOR TO MEN WHO
WERE IN UNIFORM.

Charged with delivering intoxicants
to soldiers in uniform, David BOe, an
enlisted man at Fort Barrancas, was
arrested yesterday morning bv United
States Marshal Perkins and Deputy
Marshal G, P. Mcmillan. Following
the arrest, the man escaped, and ran
several blocks before he fell into n
ditch and was caught.
This is the first case to be brought
against a soldier for violation of the
act of May Is, prohibiting the sale or
delivering of liquor to members of
the military forces of the United
States, while in uniform.
Wearing overalls and a loose blouse
over his uniform, the soldier, it is
stated, procured two jugs of beer and
two flasks of whiskey from the Bir-
mingham saloon, and went to an
abandoned shop at the corner of Bay
len and Main streets. Here he was
met by several other soldiers in uni
form, to whom he started to dispense
the liquor, when the marshal and his
deputy arrived on the scene.
Boe was promptly arrested. but be-
fore he was taken to Jail he escaped,
and gave the officers a lively chase
before he could be again caught. In
an attempt to stop the fleeing prison
er, Deputy Mcmillan fired his pistol
several times, but failed to frighten
the soldier. who was stopped only
when he fell into a ditch.
He was later taken before United
States Commissioner Sullivan fer pre-
liminary hearing, and the case was
discharged. Boe was turned over to
the military authorities to be dealt
with as they see fit.

announcement follows:
"Tate yesterday the Germans un-

The Fourth OF July In
CrestvISw, Scene
OF Murder Trial
By Thomas Ewing Dabnev.

CrestVlew, July 4.-FOurth Of
July in Crestview!
A pleasant grove of oak trees,
bounded by two gray ribbons of
road, a white church building and
a dingy house. Benches under
the trees; refreshment tent with
mountains of soft drink bottles,
empty and full. A two-mule wag-
on, once loaded with watermelons,
but now almost empty. Dozens of
automobiles parked under the
trees; people eating watermelon,
some sitting down, other walking
about, leaning over as they bury
their face in~the blushing slice,
to keep the juice off their clothes.
An occasional hog gathering in
the rinds-the liquid scrunch
heard several hundred feet.
For this is a silent throng;
an austere gathering. What CON
versation there is, is conducted in
whispers. No oratory, no celebra-
tion of any kind.
The church building packed
strange spectacle on this hot day.
Men, women and children-even
babies. And the throng under
the cool trees shows plainly that
it wishes it was in the swelter-
ing building.
For this is the circuit court in
session; Okaloosa's court house
has not passed beyond the blue
print stage yet, and Judge Camp
bell secured the most suitable
building available, well knowSSE
the intense interest that the trial
of Will and Bob Blackwell,
charged with the murder of NJ.
NJ. Davis and wife, would create.
The dingy house, just twenty
five PAGES from the court, was
where viii Blackwell, one of the
accused, boarded for nine months,
his landlady, Mrs. Eliza Atwell,
whose Confession" it is thought
will be enough to send the men to
jail. If he is hung it will be in
this same grove-poetic justice
that expiation should be made
where the crime was conceived.
But they have made their decla-
ration of innocence; their fight
for freedom begins on this Glori-
Gus Fourth.
Will they get liberty or death?

East st. Louis, H., July 4.-With
approximately 1.400 Illinois national
guardsmen in East St Louis today
and details patrolling the streets
with orders to use all force necessary
to enforce order if an attempt is

involving but slight loss there were
no disorders last night and the death
list remained at thirty. The number
of white men killed in the rioting
was increased to four by the deaths
last night of Detective Wogley who
was shot Sunday night.
Gov. Lowden who arrived here last
night said, after a conference with
members of the chamber of COM
meree, that the situation was we'll in
hand. The governor declared that a
large number of soldiers would re-
main under Adjutant General Dick
son until they were no longer needed
and that if further rioting broke out
every guardsman in the state would
would be sent here.
Street car service which ceased at
8 o'clock last night, was resumed
today but all saloons will remain
closed until further notice.
