The city was absolutely quiet to-day.
No trouble of any description was re-
ported. More than 1000 Illinois ma
tional guardsmen patrolled the streets
under strict orders to shoot II neces-
sary. The city's Fourth Of July cele-
bration was called of and all saloons
and theaters remained closed. Militia
men prevented citizens from congre-
eating in any section Of the city.
The only excitement of the day was
the finding of three negro bodies in
Cahokie Creek. bringing the death list
TO thirty-scvcn. Civil authorities be-
gan the work Of collecting evidence
TO be presented to the grand jury when
1t convcnes on July 3. Only two Of the

that the ring leaders of the mobs are
known. and that action will be taken

MORE THAN HALF OF NEGRO
POPULATION HAS LEFT

tiles to-day that more than half Of the
citys negro population has departed.
Many negroes escaped over the bridges
into ST. Louis. Mo-. Monday night. and
thousands were escorted out of the city
by the military authorities yesterday.
Scores of homes in the negro sections
are deserted. Many left to-day. 1t is
estimated that before the rioting moro
than 10000 negroes lived in East ST.
Louis. Negroes remaining in town to-
day were unmolcsted.

last night, said. after conference with
members of the Chamber of Commerce,

The Governor declared that a large
number of soldiers would remain here
under Adjutant-General Dickson until
they were no longer needed and that

o'clock last night. was resumed. but

THINKS SPIES OF GERMANS
ARE WORKING ON THE INSIDE,

WASHINGTON. July 4.-That Ger
man spies. working on the inside in all
proba bility. in one or more Of the gov
ernnent departments. aided in convey
ing information to Germany regarding
the movement Of the American trans
ports bearing the Pershing expedition
TO France. was the opinion EXPRESSED
to-day by Senator Chamberlain, OF
Oregon, chairman Of the Senate Mil
itary Affairs Committee
1t seems great shame that there
should be such people In this country
said Senator Chamberlain IF they
should be found, they should be strung
up without delay and without the cour-
tesy of a trial by jury"
Senator Chamberlain said he believed
the German spies were in communica
tion with Germany through Mexico and
Venezuela. He said there were many
ways IN which the information could be
sent into Mexico and thence to Vene-
zuela- where. he had been told, it was
wirelessed. probably by relay. to Ger
many. Information concerning this
system Of the transmission of messages,
he said. had come to him and had been
forwarded to the Navy Department
He said he had no doubt but what
the government was doing all In its
power to apprehend these spies. The
German spy system, he said. had proved
remarkably efficient during this war.
particularly In Great Britain, where
troops and ship movements had been
tipped Off repeatedly to Germany
GRATIFIED AT SAFE
ARRIVAL IN FRANCE
Senator Chamberlain expressed great
qualification upon the safe arrival of
the entire expeditionary force and the
good work done by the navy in pro-
tecting the transports.

OF the Naval Affairs Committee, gave

In the Navy Department.
Just recently. during the investiga-
tion by the Naval Affairs Committee
into the ammunition acGident on board

brought out that some one with access

The Hidden Power

Most OF us never learn what
great powers lie undeveloped
within our mind and body. We
go through life working ut about
fifty per cent pressure. Unless
there come a crisis which calls
out to duty the last ounce OF
bodily strength and the most
acute mental energy. we go to
the end of llfe's string knowing
not how much Of the Creators
gift we have neglected and let go
to waste.
"The Real Man" Is the story
Of a young fellow who had the
good fortune to face q real crisis
when he was twenty-five years
old. II called out his entire re-
serve Of strength and courage.
For % years there existed q
SNUG person, hide-bound, soft,
shrewd. Then came the blow
OF! The real man stepped out
Of that snug disguise and
showed the stuff that was In
him. 1t was great stuff, too.
All Of you will enjoy 1.-THE
Real Man." 1t will entertain.
1t will provoke serious thought.
II may lead you to examine the
inside Of your shell Of life In
search Of the real man or the
real woman. 1t may help you to
discover a way to work at higher
pressure than fifty per cent
and II you do, you'll know the
secret that has made men ia
nous throughout the worlds
history.

Stenographer Too Radiant.

The elder Swift, founder of one of
the great Chicago beef concerns, hated
to see women working In bright
clothes, according to a man who once
labored for the Swift concern. There
happened to be a stenographer at the
works, however, who bought all the
loud raiment she could, and looked like
a combination of a merry-gO-rOund and
a rainbow when she walked through
the yards.
One day the elder Swift caught sight
of her. He called his assistant.
"WhO Is that?" he asked.
"Why that's Mr.. Blanks stenogra.
pher."
"HOw much does she get?'
twenty-five a week."
"DOck her."
'I'm afraid she'll leave"

before he answered:

ness with which the multimillionaire's
daughter came to the phone was an
intimation that his ring was not entire
ly unexpected.
''This is Montague" he said, when
Miss R%ichlander's mellifluous "Maln
four six eight-Mr. Richlander's resi-
dence" came over the wire. Then:
"What are you going to think Of u man
who calls you up merely to beg Off?'
he asked.
Miss Rlchlander's reply was merciful
and he al permitted to go on and ex-
plain. 'Tm awfully sorry, but 1t can't
very we'll be helped. you know. Mr..
Durham has returned, and he wants
me at the bank. I'll be up a little later
on, II I can break away. and you'll let

much. Goodby."
The Lawrenceville Bank and Trust,
lately installed In its new marble.ve-
neered quarters, was only four squares
distant. As he was approaching the
corner. Smith saw that there were only
two lights In the bank, one In the vault
corridor and another In the railed-of
open space in front which held the
presidents desk and his own. Through
the big plate-glass windows he could
see Mr.. Durham. The president was
apparently at work, his pOrtly figure
filling the padded swing-chair. He had
one elbow on the desk, and the fingers
of the uplifted hand were thrust into
his thick mop Of hair.
Smith had his own keys and he let
himself in quietly through the door on
the side street. The night-watchman's
chair stood In its accustomed place In
the vault corridor, but 1t was empty.
To a suspicious person the empty chair
might have had its significance; but
Montague Smith was not suspicious.
The obvious conclusion was that Mr..
Durham had sent the Waterman forth
upon some Grand; and the motive
needed not to be tagged as Interior.
Without meaning to be particularly
~noiseless, Smith-rubber heels on tiled
floor assisting-was unlatching the
gate in the counter railing before his
superior officer heard him and looked
up. There was an irritable note In the
presidents greeting.
"Oh. it's you. at last, Is itT he
rasped. "You have taken your OWL

The president sat back in the big
mahogany swing-chair. His face, with
the cold, prOtrusive eyes, the heavy
lips, and the dewlap lower law, was the
face of a man who shoots to kill.
II suppose you've heard the news
about Westfall"
Smith nodded.
"Then you also know that the bank
stands to lose a cold hundred thousand
on that loan you made HIM"
The young maj In the stenographer's
chair knew now very well why the
night-watchman had been sent away.
Smith saw the solid foundations Of his
small world-the only world he had

dissolution.

against the making Of that loan when
Westfall first spoke Of It." he said,
