tention of trying to escape the
draft question.
There was nothing detrimental
to Mr. Hrabrich's detention in
Chicago by federal officers, inso-
much as he is not guilty of any
misdcmeanOr, but at the same
time, as he says, it caused one to
be we'll aware of the fact that
Uncle Samuel is not letting any

that last week examinations for

a sharp lookout was kept on the
fellow of draft age who was
beating it while the beating was
good-in other words officers
were after the Stacker and draft

Although the German contingent

was, according to the first official roll,

the situation to head today.
Tomorrow Chancellor yon Beth
mann Hollweg is expected to make a
formal statement and there is tense
interest in political circles as to the
attitude he may show in electoral re-
forms.
From the Central wing to the So
cialists all opinion in the Reichstag is
united that reformed electoral sys-
tenn be applied in Prussia if Prussia
fails to adopt such a plan of its own
accord.
The governments promises of vast
changes in electoral districts is con-

TO TIGHTEN REIGNS ON
RUSSIAN CELEBRATIONS
Samuel Gompers and TeddS Roose-
velt Made had Bneak

New York, July ITO prevent new
outbursts as the result of the person
al encounter between Colonel Roose-
welt and Samuel Gompers, that married
the reception of the Russian commits
sion last night, word was sent out to-
day that speakers at further affairs
in honor of the visitors must use the
greatest care in choosing their words.
Both the Roosevelt and Gompers-
camps were reported bringing up
heavy artillery, ready to hurl fresh
shots in the controversy over the East
St. Louis race riots.
To date the American Federation
of Labor head has had the last fling.
He was out with statement early
today declaring the Colonel purpose
ly sought the Iimelight in last nights
quarrel and imagines himself the GUS
todian of the morals of the world"
The trouble started when Colonel
Roosevelt, in preliminary remarks at
meeting in Carnegie Hall in honor
of visitors, denounced the men who
led the mobs in East St. Louis as
"nlurderers.
Before we speak of justice for 9TH
ers, it behooves us to do justice with
in our own household" he added.
Gompers, who followed Colonel
Roosevelt, charged that negroes had
been lured to East St. Louis to un-
dermine white laborers. When he
sat down the Colonel asked permits
sion for another word. Advancing
with vehement gestures, and shaking
his fist under Gompers' nose, Roose-
welt shouted: e
Il don't care snap of my finger
for any telegram from the head of the
strongest labor union in Illinois," re-
ferring to telegram Gompers said he
received from. labor chief, fixing re-
sponsibility for the riots.
This took place in state where
the whites outnumber the negroes
twenty to one. If in that state the
whites can't protect their rights with
out resort to murder, then the people
OF the state which sent Abraham Lin
coin. to the presidency must bow their
heads"
Kisses, catcalls, boos and applause,
were mingled.
Many of the audience arose, expect
ing to see fist fight between Roose-
velt and Gompers. Mayor Mitchell
finally quoted the audience.

brilliance characterizing the French
and German armies, or their talent in
leadership, fnesse in execution and
quickness of decision, but that Amer

Britain's, will find expression in num-
bers and mechanical duplication of
brute power. Americas numbers, he
writes, are counted upon by the en-
