AMERICAN WORKER AT GLOBE

Globe, Ariz., July 2.-The second
act of violence reported in connection
with the strike of copper miners in
the Globe Miami district occurred late
today when fifty Austrians attacked
an American mechanic who was com
ing off shift at the Old Dominion
mine. Several American miners in
the crowd pleaded with the Austrians
not to attack the machinist, but none
interfered. The machinist's face was
slightly cut before he escaped. Earlier
in the day Richard Mayne. foreman Of
the Old Dominion mine, was stoned
by striking miners when he was
going to work.
An Austrian and another American
miner who left the company's prop
erty at the same time were not at
tackled. although the American was
cautioned against returning to work
tomorrow.

FRENCH LOSE TRENCHES
THIRD OF MILE IN LENGTH

French Front in France, July g.
The Germans succeeded in occupying
today French front line trenches a
third of a mile in length to the east
of Cerny, north of the Chemin des
Danes. This local success, worthless
from a military viewpoint, followed a
terrific pile-driving artillery bonn
bardment at the beginning of which
the French abandoned the line, the
trenches of which We're flattened out
This forward step leaves the Ger.
mans still without their coveted OBJ
servation posts. Apparently there
was little backbone in the attack, as
the success was not followed up.
The same lack of push has char
acterized all the German attacks re-
Gently along the line stretching from
the eastward of scissors to Verdun.
Evidently the enemy, after his recent
defeat in the Champagne, feels the
need of local successes in order to en-
courage the men, who, according to
prisoners, are graetly depressed. 1t is
comparatively easy for them to con-
centrate many heavy guns at any
given point and thus drive the French
out of small sectors. Hitherto how
ever, whenever the Germans attacked
with their specially selected troops
they did not penetrate to any depth
all their attempts to do so meeting
with the most energetic resistance and
usually being followed by French
costing the German
occupants of the demolished positions
great losses.

Chinese legation and state depart

surprise at the development. At the
legation it was suggested that while
Chang might have secured support
among the military governors for a
purely military movement, the wide
spread bitterness against the Manchus
will make final success very doubtful.
Nevertheless, it is realized that with
Peking isolated, President Lii largely
Is in Chang's power.

tsS MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED w,esi
East st. Louis, ILL.,, July AT
least fifteen negroes were shot and
killed by mobs here tonight as they
fled from their burning homes which
had been set on fire by white mobs.
A number are believed to have per-
ished in the burning houses.
Military rule was proclaimed to-
night Three hundred white men
were arrested ana locked up at police
headquarters. Negro quarters in va
rious parts of the city are on fire. and
the flames reach the very edge OF the
business district. Estimates of the
number of negroes who perished in
the fire ran as high as 100 but there
was nothing authentic on which to
base these estimates. Hundreds of
whites stood around the edges of the
burning districts and fired at the ne
groes as they fled from their homes.
City Is Weird Sight.
States Attorney Shaumloeffel of st.
Clair county drove through the riot
swept district tonight with Inspector
Walsh of st. Louis. Mo. The states
attorney estimated that the dead ne
groes would number ESQ. All esti-
mates, however are conjectural.
This city tonight presents a weird
and terrible sight. Vast clouds of
smoke roll across the sky, flames
make some of the downtown streets
as light as day, and now and then
yelling mob rushes down a street in
pursuit of a negro or in search of
new excitement. National guardsmen.
loaded in automobile trucks, dash
after the mob, and in few minutes
the shouting dies down and bewil-
dered people walk up and down the
streets wondering where the next
outbreak will occur.
AT 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 de-
stroy large part of the city.
Street Cars Stopped.
The mobs 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
menace to the situation that at $3.50
o'clock the bridges were closed to all
vehicles and pedestrian traffic. Street
car traffic in East st. Louis and across
the Eads bridge was stopped at Z
O'Clock. This automatically closed
trolley traffic between st. Louis and
many 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 the thousands. Au-
were halted by the national
guard and those that could not show
a good reason for coming were held
on the st. Louis side.
Negro Women Gross Bridge.
The fires started about 8 o'clock
this evening and spread rapidly. BY
80 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
