There was a terrific fusillade, with
scores of guns blasting away. Mayor
Harry Wooding and the judge of the

rest. The officer turned his head mo-
mentarily and was shot. Boisseau
was covering up the dead policeman

ST. LOUIS RIOTERS
ARE FOUND GUILTY
Two White Men Receive Same
Punishment as Negroes.
GIVEN LONG PRISON TERMS
Herbert Wood and Leo Keane Charged
With Death of Scott Clark, Who
Died of Injuries Received
During Race War.

Belleville, ILL.,, Oct. 13.-The first
white men to go to trial on charges
growing out of the East st. Louis race
riots Of last July were found guilty
by jury in the circuit court. The
jury was out two hours.
Ten negroes were found guilty last
Sunday, and each received an inde
terminate sentence with maximum
of fourteen years. Similar terms of
imprisonment were fixed against the
two white men found guilty Friday.
The white men convicted are Herbert
Wood and Leo Keane, Jointly charged
with the murder of Scott Clark, ne
gro, who died four days after the riot
of July 2 as a result of injuries re-
ceived in the rioting.
Dragged Victim With Rope.
Witnesses for the state testified that
Wood and Keane were arrested as
they were dragging Clark along the
street by a rope which had been
fastened about his neck. KeaRe is
only seventeen years old.
Next Monday three more white men
will be placed on trial on charges
growing out of the riot. The state
will try to prove them guilty of the
murder of two negroes and of the
killing of a white man, who was slain
by stray bullet as he was standing
in front of his store.
Asked Death Penalty.
The arguments in the trial of Wood
and Keane were closed by Assistant
Attorney General Middlekauf of Hi
nois, who asked that the death pen
atty be fixed for Wood and that a Sc
we're prison sentence be imposed on
Keane.
'"The people of the United States are
watching you," said the assistant at
torney general in his closing argu-
ment. with one. stroke of the pen
you can put an end to race rioting in
this state, and possibly in this ma
ton, by hanging Herbert Wood"
One white man already is in the
Chester penitentiary on a plea of
guilty on charges growing out of the
riots.
The known number of persons slain
in the East st. Louis race riots of July
2 is Al. The grand jury that returned
the indictments, however, reported
that 100 persons were slain by the
mobs.
The grand jury reported that the
riots were in reality due to the work
of agitators working among both ne
groes and white men and spreading
the rumOr among members of eacl
race that the other race was arming
for slaughter.

Use Your Brains.

There is not so much difference in
brains as in the way their owners use
them. Very often a boy or girl who
envies another's keenness and insight
is as we'll endowed as he. But while
one brain is trained to hard, concen-
trated thinking, the other is like an un-
broken colt, or like steed which has
grown lazy from overfeeding and lack
of exercise. Set your powers to work.
Guide them wisely, and you will not
need to complain that they are not

come the gift of the Jew to the

Not very long ago, an English
man declared to one of the leaders
of the German people: "There can
be no joining of hands with Ger
mans until she has washed her
hands of the pernicious theories of
statecraft and military policy
which have made her conduct of
this war one long succession of
crimes from the initial crime
against Belgium downwards." We
are not stretching forth our hands
as suppliants. Whether or not we
are to join hands with them that
over the doorposts of school or club
or business affix the words 'No
Jews Need Apply" we bid them,
"Wash you, make you clean, put
away the evil of your doing from
before mine eyes," You are en-
brueing your hands in the blood of
the wounds of men ruthlessly in
flicted by the cruelest of weapons.
To some this may seem an in
opportune hour in truth in which
to speak in this strain, for ma
tional unity is desired above all
things. But national unity is not
to be as a result Of the waving of
the presidential wand. National
unity can come about only through
the striving of the spirits Of men.
In the battles that lie before us,
young Jews will serve and sacrifice
and die by the side of their fellow
Americans. Is it too much to ask
that for the honor Of Christendom
and for the sake of the American
democracy, it shall no longer be
made impossible for Jews to live
and to toll by the side of all other
peoples throughout the nation?
"No Jews Need APPLY" The
supreme answer will be given not
by the non-Jew but by the Jew.
1t is one thing to suffer wrong;
it is another thing to suffer wrong
unjustly. The Belgians could not
have lived through three years of
Prussianly-devised hell, if they
had not been upborne by unwaver-
ing confidence in their own inno-
cence and in the final triumph of
right over wrong. do not alto
gether grieve as | look upon the
caption, 'No Jews Need Apply" |

it, or shall we condemn it? Shall we
