FRENziED MOB APPLY TORCH TO
NEGRO HOMES AFTER DAY OF
TERROR IN WHICH MANY
BLACKS ARE LYNCHED.
DEATH LIST MAY BE ESQ;
FIRE LOSS, $4,000, 900
Trouble Grows Out of Influx of Black
Labor from South and Reaches
Climax in Desperate Street Fight
inq-Police and Guardsmen
Finally Restore Order.

East st. Louis, July Sin city
lighted only by incendiary fires, the
police and National Guard of Illinois
were endeavoring to count the dead
In this city's race riots.
No estimate of the number of ne
groes slain, official or otherwise runs
lower than 100, the police claiming
that thea dead will number ESQ.
Numerous outright lynchings took
place. One victim was hanged to a
telegraph pole near the city hall. A
large percentage of the fatalities oc-
Cured in the business district of the
city.
Colonel E. P. Clayton, of the Fourth
Illinois infantry, said at midnight:
1--WE now have the situation we'll in
hand. The streets have been cleared
and 1 believe with the additional
troops that are enroute we will be
able to prevent resumption of the
rioting."
Torch ReckIessly Used.
The torch was used freely in the
effort to exterminate the black popu-
lation. Fire apparatus was sent from
st. Louis, but from six to eight city
blocks were laid in ruins. The loss
by fire is estimated at 100000.
The black valley, the negro segre-
gated district, is a mass of embers,
beneath which lie the bodies of many
dead. Flames which swept block of
negro dwellings in Fifth street spread
to white residences and stores on
Broadway and destroyed more prop
erty than the mob intended to ruin.
Telephone and electric light wires
were cut soon after the wild nights
work began and the city was left in
darkness except in the dozen spots
where the fires ragged. The author
tiles were handicapped in handling
the soldiers and police because com!
munication with the city hall was cut
off.
Negroes Also Do Shooting.
The shooting was not all on the
side of the whites. Wherever a white
man appeared alone he was fired upon
usually from ambush. Thomas Moore
was shot down at Ninth street and
Broadway. His head was blown of
with a charge of buckshot.
1 Hundreds of arrests have been made
but the police do not pretend that they
have any of the ringleaders.
One difficulty in estimating the dead
is due to the fact that many blacks
were shot and their bodies thrown into
the creeks and the Mississippi. Many
were drowned by their being driven
into the water.
ScoSes of charred bodies are in the
ruins Af the burned homes. Other bod
les are being continually found in back
streets and alleys.
Adjutant General Dickson of Illinois
has taken charge of the situation and
the city is under military rule.

DRAFT MACHINERY IN MOTION
TO GOVERN NEXT
STEP ISSUED.
President in Proclamation Says Rules
Are Based on Equality and Fair
ness for All.

Washington, July 3.-President Will
son has created and set into motion
the gigantic machinery of the draft.
By a proclamation of regulations the
President started the huge labor OF
singing out the manhood of the ma
ton for Americas armies.
The regulations fix the general
classes of men free from military SER
vice, set up the exemption boards that
sift out the men and define their
duties. !:
Exemptions for Few Glasses.
Only very small group of classes
Of men are exempt from bearing arms.
All others must appear before the tri1
bunals. Upon hearing of evidence,
they will be discharged or drafted into
the army, as the case may be. Every
action of the boards is hedged with
double safeguards against unfairness
and wide open to the public.
Presidents Proclamation.
The draft system is one of equality
and fairness, President Wilson ex,
planned in proclamation accompany
ing exemption and draft regulations.
His proclamation said: 1.-THE regula-
lions which am today causing to be-
promulgated, pursuant to the directions
OF the selective service law, cover the
remaining steps of the plan for calling
into service of the United States quail
fed men from those who have regisi
tered; those selected as the result of
this process to constitute with the reg,
ular army, the national guard and the
navy, the fighting forces of the nation,
all of which forces are under the terms
of the law placed in position of equal
rights, dignity and responsibility with
the members Of all other military
forces.
All Men on Equal Plane.
"The regulations have been drawn
with view to the needs and circum-
stances of the whole country and pro,
vide system which it is expected will
work with the least inequality and per-
sonal hardships. Any system for Sc
lecting men for military service,
whether voluntarily or involuntarily, in
its operation, necessarily selects some
men to bear the burden of danger and
sacrifice for the whole nation. The
system here provided places all men
of age upon an even plane and the Sc
lection, which neither favors the
one nor penalties the other, calls out
the requisite number for service.
THE successful operation of this law
must have the cooperation of all the
people interested.
1T is the duty of all boards to show
no Partially, but be fearless in their
duty to the nation. in selecting every
man who is eligible. They should re-
member as to each individual case
presented to them that they are called
upon to adjudicate the most sacred
rights of the individual and to pre-.
serve untarnished the honor of the ma
ton.
Our armies at the front will be
strengthened and sustained If they are
composed of men free from any sense
of injustice in their mode of selection,
and they will be inspired to loftier ef-
forts in behalf of country in which
the citizens called upon to perform
high public functions perform them
with justice, fearlessness and impair.

After the supper party the host

Lovely cigars, We know" he de-
