"A Bodies Found With Posi-

East St. Louis, Ills, July s.
Although surface indications
were that the orgy of butchery
and incendiarism which cost
many lives here last night and
laid whole blocks in ruins, had
spent its force; Adjutant Cen
eral Frank S. Dickson, Of Illi-
nois, said to-day that he feared
there might be more trouble to-
night and discussed with Mayor
Mollman the advisability of call
ing for more troops.
The companies of guardsmen
who were on the ground last
night, the Adj djutant General ex-
planned were numerically made
quate tc cover the wide territory
covered by the riots. He feared
that even the additional COM
panies which arrived later bring
ing the total number of guards
men here to 1900, would not be
enough to establish authority.
Estimates of the number of
dead varied widely, from a score
to two hundred and fifty.
At go o'clock this morning twenty
four bodies had been recovered, in
cluding three whites. Seventy-four
wounded negroes were found.
Estimates of the bodies supposed
to lie under the acres of ashes and
smouldering debris where fires con-
sumes scores of negro shacks and
houses last night run into the hun
dreds.
The city was quiet this morning.
Saloons were still closed. Slecpy-eyed
suardsmen with marks of fire-hght-
ing still on their khaki patrolled the
streets and guarded bridges and sa-
loon doors. Otherwise the city ap-
peared normal. There were broken
windows here and there, other wreck

Paris Streets Strewn With
Flowers in Path of u. S.
Soldiers Sent to Capital
By Associated Press


Paris, July "A battalion of Amer
lean troops arrived in Paris this
morning to parade on July 4. The
Americans were greeted by wildly
enthusiastic crowds which packed the
streets through which they marched
to Neuilly barracks, where they are
quartered. Officers are being enter
tanned at the military club.
The Americans arrived at the Aus
terlitz station at 7.40 o'clock, having
been thirtysiX hours on the way from
the French port at which they de-
barked. The soldiers were greeted
by representatives of the French and
American armies. The French Red
Cross provided refreshments and the
American Red Cross and Young Mems
Christian Association also sent rep
resentatives to greet them.
Headed by their own band, the SOL
diers, carrying their rifles and field
packs, fell in and marched off to the
barracks. The crowds waved Amer
isan and French flags. Hundreds of
Americans We're in the throng at the
station. AS the troops swung through
the streets, French girls pinned bou
quets and American flags on the SOL
diers' breasts. Flowers were scat

er American airs. French soldiers on
leave grasped the hands of the Amer
leans and marched beside them.
Several times groups of shopgirls
on their way to work slipped through
the police lines and kissed the SOL
diers, to their great embarrassment.
Now and then an American voice
would be heard calling "hello boys,
welcome to Paris" or good luck"
When the regimental colors were car
ried past the men barred their heads.
The Americans were greatly surprised
to see a number of children kneel in
the street as the flag was carried by.
They were orphans from an institu-
tion in the neighborhood.

stand, don't you? Why, certainly!
If the shovel digs down thirty feet
all around how'll they get it out?
That is what is troubling the Sons
of Rest. Fhe groups to-day discuss
ed the problem from every angle.
One man thought they'd put up a
large gin-pole and let the shovel
hoist itself out. Still others were
sure that a framework trestle will
be built and the shovel run to the
surface over it. Another man, who
was promptly hooted down, declared
the shovel would be kept permanent
ly in the cellar and used as a pump
or motor or something.
The Sons of Rest to-day rendered
vote of thanks to the contractors
for permitting two openings to re-
main in the fence around the new
cellar. 1t was the unanimous opin-
ion at the morning session that this
action reflected credit on the afore-
said contractors.

Reissue of Hardscrabble
Bonds Ordered by Council

A reissue of bonds to property
holders in the Hardscrabble district.
was ordered this morning in a reso-
luton passed by city council. 1t is
understood that this was made
necessary because counsel for some
OF the propertyholders objected to
bonds which were signed by Acting
Mayor William l.. Gorgas, before
Mayor Miller had been appointed by
council.
The new bonds will be signed by
r. Ross Seaman, as CITY clerk and
by Mayor Miller, as the city's chief
executive, to overcome this objec-
ton. AS soon as the bonds are issued
the court will be asked to fix date
for special hearing of the appeals
from the viewers awards.

HOW'LL THEY EVER LIFT
THE STEAM SHOVEL OUT'A THATp

Great mysteries and seemingly un-
fathomable problems daily confront
the members of the Ancient and
Honorable Order of Sons of Rest
who congregate at the two openings
in the fence around the excavation
for the new Hotel Penn-Harris. The
Sons of Rest yesterday came bang-up
against a query more perplexing
than any of it's predecessors:
How are they going to bring that
there steam-shovel out of the cell
lar?
Scores of the Sons of Rest to-day
gathered in groups and pondered
this ponderous problem.
It's this way: The steam shovel
started in the southeast corner of
what is to be the hotel cellar. 1t is
dloging its way around the lot. The
farther it goes the deeper it gets.
Consequently about the time it gets
clear around couple of times it will
be down so deep that-you under

EMPHASIZES NEED
OF REPAIRS TO
CITY RESERVOIR
Commissioner Dunkle Tells
Council of Conditions; Fire
Hose Contracts Approved

Need of extensive repairs at the
ervoir in Reservoir Park was re-
ported to Council this morning by
Commissioner Samuel +. Dunkle,
superintendent of the water depart
ton of conditions over the system.
Early action on the report was re-
quested by Mr.. Dunkle.
Other action by Council included
the approval of firehose contracts
awards by Commissioner Gross; fill
ing of a protest by the Firemen's
Union against parking in some of
the downtown streets, and authoriZ-
ing the purchase of ten hose driers
for the fire department
The serious condition existing at
the pumping station and reservoir
demand immediate attention, Com
missioner Dunkle declared.
Greater Capacity Needed
Additional reservoir capacity, an
other pumping unit and larger
mains to the reservoir are necessi-
ties and have been for many
months. The large pump we are
using now has capacity of 12,000,-
600 gallons and running 100000
gallons daily. The other day the Gen.
trail Iron and Steel Company used
100000 gallons in twenty-four
hours, running down the reservoir
supply. If that company and the
railroad both need a big supply at
the same time, the city cannot pos
sibly serve them, and it may be
necessary to limit the amount used
by residents of the city. The growth
of the city, together with industrial
prosperity is undoubtedly the cause
of these conditions" the official ex-
planned.

VXTE have kept the day with the beat of drums
w For nearly score years,
With the waving of flags and marching feet
But with hearts devoid of fears.
We have paid our homage to heroes dead
With our tears and cheers, and then
We have drifted back, in self-content,
To our everyday life again.
But the day dawns with the beat of drums
And we stand with uncovered head,
While the tears and the cheers which choke us so
Are for OUR OWN boys instead!
oh, it's easy to talk of the years gone by,
The vaor our forefathers had
But the heart drps blood when we meet the eve
And the courage of our lad
The Fourth of July! The grand old Fourth!
God grant it may be so
That Americas troops shall never forget
however, wherever they go!
Come cheers for the living! Keep tears for thee
Who taught us what freedom can mean,
Fill we face this day that wonder-thril

There remained the question Of
whether the drive could be kept up

advantage of the victory. While this
question does not yet seem to have
been definitely decided, the indica-
