Adjutant General Frank S. Dick
son arrived shortly after midnight
and took charge of the situation. He
said troops would be distributed in
small groups throughout the city to-
day, and that they would be in
structed to disperse every gathering
of persons for any purpose what
ever.
I'VE intend to see to it that crowds
do not have opportunity to gather
today" Adjutant General Dickson
said. I'm this way it will be possible
to nip any disturbance in the bud.
At / am. the fires were under CON
troll. Rioters for the most part had
dispersed.
In answer to a question as to why
the troops on the round when the
trouble developed did not use force
to put down the rioting, General
the soldiers were sent here had been
gained without firing a shot, and
that wholesale bloodshed would have
been the result of any firing on the
part of the troops.
Five hundred ringleaders of the
mob, | am informed, are under ar
rest" said General Dickson. This
was accomplished by surrounding the
rioters and forcing them to submit
without shooting or employing the
bayonet"
General Dickson said after the 500
were taken into custody, the dis
turbance at once took on a less Sc
rious aspect.
At nine o'clock the mayor of East st.
Louis called on the st. Louis fire de-
partment for assistance in fighting the
flames, which threatened to destros
a large part of the city.
The rnobs 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 $50
O'Clock the bridges were closed to all
vehicle and pedestrian traffic.
Street car traffic in East st. Louis
and across the Eads, bridge was
stopped at o'clock This automat-
ically closed trolley traffic between st.
Louis and any suburban towns on the
east side, including Belleville, and
forced hundreds of residents of these
towns to stay in ST. Louis for the
night.
AS soon as street car traffic ended,
crowds crossed the Eads bridge into
East ST Louis by thousands. Automo-
biles were halted by the national guard
and those who could not show good
reason for coming were held on the
st. Louis side.
The fires started about six o'clock
last evening and spread rapidly. By
$3.50 vast clouds of smoke were visible
from the st. Louis side of the river
and soon flames visible for miles were
shooting into the sky.
Hundreds of negro women, most of
them carrying bundles that held their
most precious belongings and leading
small children, walked slowly across
the bridge to shelter and safety with
friends on the Missouri side. Occa-
sionally, a tired negro mother. carry
ing a small babe, was met making the
long walk across the bridge.
AS the crowds from st. Louis reach
ed the east side they noticed that an
awestruck silence had settled on the
townspeople, who stood in the streets
watching the glow of the flames
Telephone wires had been cut early
in the evening by the fire department.
AS telegraph and telephone poles
caught fire, other wires went down.

B|sBEE SITUATION
IS IMPROVING
Especial to The Republican,

BISBEE, Ariz., July 2.-The situation
at the Calumet and Arizona and Cop
per Queen mines here shows slight
gain for the better tonight. The num-
Der of men working underground in
both is AZ per cent of the normal The
number of surface workers is even bet
ter. OF the normal production of both
mines, so per cent is being produced.
The sentiment here against the strike
is very decided. The strike in this dis
trict is expected to wear itself out. The
civil authorities are handling the situa-
tion here very well and there is no need
of other Intervention of any sort.

An Austrian and another American
miner who left the mine at the time

allow an ice wagon bound for the Ola
Dominion hospital to pass. No men or
supplies of any kind can be taken on

 which a little dissolved salt will re-
 main on the bottom of the vessel af-
 ter the solution has been subjected
 to prolonged stirring. Do not reuse
 the old brine. The barrel or keg
 should then be headed and stored in
 l cellar or the coolest place available.
 If there should be any leakage,
 which may be discovered by the
 sound made when the barrel is
 struck with stick at various heights 1t should be made good by adding strong brine through bunghole. If the receptacle can not be filled at once, the fish may be preserved by placing on top of them cover made of barrel head or of pieces of wood cleated together to fit the containel and weighting it with a clean stone or other heavy article which will not be affected by the salt. The success of the operation will depend on us ing fresh fish, exercising care in the salting and the proper mixing of the brine, and on keeping the bar rel tight and the fish covered with strong brine.

MUST SUPPRESS SPY MENACE IN
 UNITED STATES
Extreme Penalty Must Be Adopted in. Dealing
 with Spies To
 Save Lives. GREAT RAMIFICATIONS

WASHINGTON, June II. Unless the United States is ready to adopt the extreme penalty in dealing with spies, the lives of thousands in the army and navy will be endangered Amy and navy officials say that ap parently the higher officials of the government and possibly even Presi dent Wilson himself do not realize the ramifications of the German spy system in this country. And it will continue and become worse, they say until a number of men and possibly women face the firing squad.
 With the coming movement oi American soldiers across the ocean Tn transports and of additional naval developments, officials say that some well-defined policy should be adopted without delay. They say there is in formation in possession of the gov ernment against certain German az ents which should be acted upon And they say also that the next who is caught gathering information for the enemy must be stood up against a wall and shot if terror is to be spread among the enemies of the United States.
 It is believed that Germany has a secret wireless station somewhere near the coasts south of the United States. probably in the mountains It is also said German spies are taking advantage of the men who have been assigned to censor cable messages because of their green ness.

CONSIDERING LUXURY TAX
 FOR THE U. s,
Should Take the Place of Taxation Upon Production in
 the Country.
FINANCIERS FAVOR TAX

NEW YORK, June 1.-The general opinion in financial and business cir cles favors taxing luxuries in place of putting a tax on production. This would not only prove more profitable to the government, but would not be burden on industry. For instance proposed per cent. tax on auto mobiles, at the rate of production last year. would net the government approximately $70,000,000, whereas a tax of $2 per horse power on indi- vidual owners would produce approxi- mately 00,000,000. It is argued such tax as this, while splendid in it's total results, would not be too bur densome, as it would be paid by thousands of people who could read fly afford it. and that no tax should be placed on trucks, as they are a utility machine and actually assist in increasing production
 Numerous other opportunities for taxation are available if careful study is made of the existing conditions. A tax levied on all gasoline could readily be collected at, the source without affecting the industry. A tax of cents a gallon on the auto mobile consumption alone would pro duce $75,000,O00, and on the entire industry, estimating there will be 2,500.000, 900 gallons used this year $15, ,000. A tax on gasoline might well be continued after the war and the proceeds turned over to the states by the federal government for good roads.
 The tax on all forms of liquor can be greatly increased without ser ious harm to anybody. A man who is accustomed to have a family wine bill of from $250 to $500 per annum can just as well pay $500 or $1,000; in other words. stand 100 per cent. increase in the rate. The same thing applies to all forms of liquor as well as tobacco
 All other luxuries could be easily and heavily taxed like forms of amusement, tickets on de luxe trains. etc The man who pays $6.50 to traVel on q lIIlilttu lIVe-HOuT ITiiIl from New York to Boston will just as readily pay $7.15 tat the rate of 10 per cent taxi. as he will the former price. Put this 10 per cent. tax on de luxe railroad tickets all over the country and yoa have an. other heavy source of revenue that will not harm industry. One instance of this was shown when some few years ago the New Haven raised the price of meals on it's dining cars from $1 to SIPS. table d'hote. with out any practical diminution in the number of diners. and yet this was in effect a 25 per cent increase in a tax on food.

private institutions of Bibb county are
OBTAINING patients or students against
their will, according to the verdict of
the Bibb county Grand Jury, made
yesterday after thorough investiga-
ton covering the nineteen charitable

The grand jury reported total of
975 inmates of these nineteen places,
and in only one instance was an I'M
favorable report made. That was the
recommendation that building at the
Colored Reform school be torn down
and built over.
A special recommendation was
made in>the case of the Georgia In
dustrial Honne, in that all counties
which have sentSboys to the home be
urged to contribute toward it's sup
port. The work of the Superintendent
Rev. J. A. Harris, was highly COM
mended. "fs''1
"At Mercer and Wesleyan" the
grand jury report read, "our questions
as to whether any or the students
were detained forcibly. or against
their will, was met with good humor
and applause"
There are thirty-five young women
and twenty sisters at Mt. De Sales, y
the report reads. "We were very ia
worldly impressed with the air of re-
hnement and culture of the place A
favorable report is also made as to
St. Stanislaus, where thirty young
men are preparing to become mem
bers of the Jesuit priesthood"

SOLDIER RETURNS POLITICAL
THANKS" FOR NICE SOX

Atlanta, Ca, Jan. 3o.-One little
American "god-mother" whose notes
been her method of showing her adj
,niration for the brave fighters, has
had the romance knocked out of her
efforts.
In sending a nice pair of warm socks
to a British soldier, the charming
young lady pinned her visiting card
inside, hoping that she might get a
letter in turn from the unknown re-
cipient of the socks. 1t came, and as
she looked at the envelope, she pic
lures a handsome khaki-clad Adonis,
carefully penning a missive of thanks
which might lead to-who knows
what?
She quickly tore off the Opened
by the censors' label, and this was
what she found written inside:
Socks received, lady;
They almost fit.

And one for a mitt.
! hope to meet you when I've done
my BIT
But where in hell

JANUARY LIQUOR SHIPMENTS
TO ATLANTA SHOW DECREASE

Atlanta, Ga, Jan. 30-Liquor ship
ments to Atlanta during the month OF
January will show decrease for the
first time since the drastic Georgia law
went into effect last May.
Figures already compiled by the
ordinarys office show a shortage OF
10000 shipments as compared with
those for the month of December
which established high record with
10000 shipments.
Shipments began light during the
month of May, 1916, and kept increas-
ing as private supplies of liquor
dwindled. At Christmas there was a
big rush incident to the HOLIDAYS,
which accounted for the high mark
in December.

BOULEVARD TO CONNECT
CAPITOL WITH MOUNTAIN

Atlanta, Ga, Jan. 30EA magnificent
boulevard connecting the state capt.
tol in Atlanta with Stone Mountain
is Southern adoption of the place
de Cocnorde" proposed by local ar
fist.
His idea is to build the boulevard
in straight line leading to the side
of the Mountain on which the great
Confederate Memorial is to be cary
ed.
At intervals of a mile he would
widen the boulevard into park space
adorned with building to represent
one of the thirteen Confederate states,
and he would surround three sides of
Stone Mountain with great park.
