ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY RE-
PORTED DEAD IN EAST ct.
LOUIS RACE RIOTS.
500 JAILED, RIOT HALTS
INJURED FILL HOSPITALS AND
PROPERTY LOSS MILLIONS
WHEN CITY is FIRED.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
East st. Louis, 500 ringleaders of the
mobs that battled, lynched and shot
armed negroes yesterday and last
night are prisoners and the edge II
taken from the mob spirit. Soldiers
are being rushed here and with bay
onets are clearing the streets. The
fires that brought millions of dollars
in losses are believed under control.
Through the smoking ruins the Khaki
clad boys are prodding here. there and
everywhere, finding bodies of the
blacks, charred and burned in the
flames of their own homes. Perhaps
the total dead will never be known,
but 1t may reach $50 and might even
go higher.
The hospitals are crowded with shot
and burned negroes. Negro women
with babeA are there. Medical assist
ance asked for has arrived. It is
thought by tonight all signs of the rot
will be over and quiet restored.
The mobs in East st. Louis were
swelled by hundreds of people who
early in the evening crossed the river
from st. Louis, Mo. This added such
a menace to the situation that at $3.50
o'clock the bridges were closed to all
vehicle and pedestrian traffic.
Five negro sections of the city were
fired by mobs, terrorized negroes fled
from the burning homes only to meet
bullets from the guns of the rioters;
four other negroes were shot by snip
ers and two were lynched.
One white man was killed by a me-
gro sniper and before the burning be-
gan four negroes and one white man
were killed. This includes the detec-
tive sergeant whose death at the
hands Of a negro mob was the direct
cause Of the outbreak.
Estimates of the number Of dead
run up to $50 and higher, but these
estimates are purely conjectural. The
exact number slaughtered probably
will never be known. as it is thought
that many bodies were consumed In
the flames.
Adjt. Gen. Frank 8. Dickson arrived
and took charge of the situation. He
said troops would be distributed in
small groups throughout the city and
that they would be instructed to dis
perse every gathering Of persons for
any purpose whatever.

sas- Missouri league in 1911. and this
following year he got a trial with
Nashville, in the Southern associatiun-
Wildness kept him from making good
with the Vols and he was shipped To
Morristown, in the Appalachian league
where he won eighteen out of twenty
nine ~7nnes.
Brooklyn gave him a trial in 1919,
but as Nashville still had string to
him. he was returned 10 that club
and finished the season with eighteen
victories and twelve defeats. Detroit
scouts thought so well OF Williams
that Hughie Jennings gave him trial
in the fall of 1913, and again in the
spring of 1914, but once again he was
sent back for more seasoning, this
time to the Sacramento club Of the
Coast league. where he lost a big MAJ
jority OF his games.
The following year. as a member
of the Salt Lake club, Williams turned
in thirty-three victories and was beat
en- out twelve times. This record rot
him a berth with the White Sox. and
last season he won. thirteen games for
Rowland's pennant chasers.
Williams was born at Springfield,
Mo, where he first played profes-
sional ball in March, 1891. He lacks
two inches of being a six-footer and
weighs 40 pounds.

CLAUDE y. WILLIAMS,
White Sox Pitcher.

Claude Williams. who, with Reh
Russell and Lefty Danforth. composes
the off-hand trio of the White Sox
pitching corps. has seen service in
seven leagues, and. like a good many
left handlers, he had to spend several
years propping in the minors before
he was able TO control baseball well
enough to stick in the big show.
Williams has been big winner for
the American league champions this
season, for he has worked in more
games than any other Sox pitcher,
with the exception of Eddie Cicotte.
and when the season comes to an end
his average will be close to the 500
mark.
Williams is not a big pitcher, like
Benton or Rixey. but he has a world
of stuff and a good fast ball. He mas
been taken out of many games this
season because of wildness, which has
been his main trouble ever since he
started playing professionally, but his
wildness Is not chronic. and when h9
Is going right he Is one of the hard
est pitchers in the American league

He started playing professional ball
with the Springfield club in the Kan
