HOLDS UP THE NEWS REPORTS
Secretary Baker Diverts Dispatches
Sent to Associated Press From
the French War Front.

Washington. July 5-Since yester-
day dispatches to the Associated Press
telling Of the American troops II
France have been diverted by official
order from their usual channel Of de-
livery and have been delivered first
TO the secretary Of war for his ap-
prevail There is no censorship OF the
press in the United States, congress
having refused to enact such a law,
but newspaper and press associations
have voluntarily been observing the
request Of the government.
Heretofore, news dispatches leaving
France have been censored by the
French officials or the American cen
scr with General Pershings' expedi-
ton, or by arrangement with London.
This. however, is the first instance in
which an executive department OF the
United States government has seen fit
to divert dispatches from their desti-
inspection.
In this case no notice Of the govern
ment's intention was given and the
first intimation Of the practice came
when last night dispatches addressed
to the Associated Press, New York,
byufts Paris correspondents, were by
official order, delivered to the secre-
tary Of war in Washington, who after
inspecting the dispatches delivered
them to the Associated Press bureau
here Other dispatches addressed in
the same way were delivered to the
secretary Of war here today and
through the committee Of public infor-
nation, delivered to the Associated
Press in Washington with certain por-
tions eliminated
The volume of matter diverted to
Washington was very large and no
adequate provision for the examina-
ton or censorship had been made
The war department was over
whelmed and a consequent delay Of
hours in important dispatches re-
suited.
Assurance has been given by Sec
rotary Baker that the new procedure
is to be practiced only temporarily
and that double censorship will be
shortliYed.

SPIES WORK IN WASHINGTON
Senator Chamberlain Says Kziser5s
Agents Get Secrets From the
Government Departments.

Washington, July 5--Senator Cham
berlain, chairman Of the Senate mill
tary committee, said he had no doubt
that spies in government departments
in Washington are constantly sending
information to Berlin
Following the revelation that Ger
man army and navy headquarters are
getting a steady flow Of military Sc
crets from the United States, as evil
denced by Berlin's war moves and pub
locations in German newspapers, opin-
ion in Washington resolved itself into
a concerted demand for exposure and
death Of enemy agents.
The fact that submarines were able
to intercept the American fleet so far
out at sea indicates that their COM
manders must have had very minute
information as To route. The mere
knowledge that the expedition had
sailed would not have made such in
Perception fa- at sea possible. Evil
IDENTIFY the German spy system is get
ting its information very close TO its
source.
Two possible avenues OF communi-
cation are open-first, secret wireless;
second, embassies which may be
friendly to Germany and have access
to cables and use OF code.

STATE LOSES GAS CONTROL
Final Decree Entered in Federal Court
at Kansas City by Judge Wilbur
Booth

Kansas City, Kan, July 6.-The fl
nal decree of Judge Wilbur Booth, and
the degree was entered formally today
in this city. is that the Kansas Natural
Gas Company is engaged in interstate
commerce, and that the rate Of TWEEN
ty-eight cents, fixed by the Kansas
Public Utilities Commission, is unrea-
sonably low.
Judge Booths decree makes perma-
nent an Injunction against the Kansas
commission preventing the commits
sion from enforcing the 2S-cent rate.
It also takes control Of the Kansas
Natural away from the commission,
and points out that laws passed by
the Kansas legislature delegating
power to the commission to control
the gas company are instructed,
therefore unconstitutional
Judge Booth, in his decree, reserved
to his court jurisdiction over the con-
tracts existing between the Kansas
Natural and all the distributing COM
panies. The decree directs that all
rate controversies come to his court

SENATORS AGAINST BOOZE

Washington, July AT the close
OF a day of turbulent debate and after
voting 50 to "a against the so-called
"bone dry" amendment the Senate
tonight recessed until tomorrow in the
midst of the prohibition fight on the
food control bill.
Defeat Of the "bone dry" proposal
insures that legislation prohibiting
manufacture of intoxicants will be
limited to distilled beverages. Wheth-
er consumption as well as manufac-
ture of distilled spirits shall cease
during the war, new element inject
ed into the contest at the eleventh
hour, completely disrupted leaders
well laid plans and caused the recess
for conferences on a compromise.
After roll calls showing a consider
able majority against stopping manu-
facture Of beer and wines OF giving
the President power to suspend their
manufacture, the Senate voted sc to
10 to prohibit the importation of dis
titled beverages and then by a vote
of As to 40 tentatively adopted a pro-
vision prohibiting withdrawal of dis
titled spirits now held in bond for
beverage purposes.

MASTER SPIES ROUNDED up

New York, July Federal agents
today arrested Carl Heynen, a Ger
man munitions expert and trusted
agent Of Captain Won Papen, and F. A.
Burgemeister, known as the paymas-
ter Of the German spy organization in
America. The two will be informed for
the remainder of the war
Heynen is regarded by federal off
Gals as one of the most able German
organizers and an authority on Mexi-
can affairs. He was formerly in
charge of the construction of the plant
Of the Bridgeport Projectile Company,
organized shortly after the outbreak
of the war, and taken over by German
interests. Won Papen, Heynen and
others have been charged with plan
ming this plant to make munitions for
Germany, but to take orders they
never intended to fill from the Allies
and likewise to use it as a means to
obtain military information from the
United States government.

DRAFT PLAN TO BE
ABSOLUTELY FAIR
Drawing Will Begin in Wash
ington as Soon as All the
Cards Are in.
TAKE NUMBERS FROM WHEEL
Selection Will Soon Begin Although
No Official Statement Has
Yet Been Made

Washington, July 7.-Selection day
for the new national army is approach
ing rapidly as the local exemption
boards in the various states complete
their organization, give serial numbers
to the registration cards and forward
certified copies to Provost Marshall
General Crowder. Indications are that
the drawing will be held next week
but no official statement has been
made.
Administration officials still main
tain strict silence as to the method to
be followed. With the recent state
ment by Secretary Baker, that the
drawing would be held in Washington
however, coupled with the stress laid
upon the serial numbering of registra-
ton cards, the general outline of the
plan is clearly indicated. 1t is under
stood that it is proposed to place in
a single jury wheel in Washington.
one complete set of numbers, when a
number is taken from the wheel, the
man in each exemption district whose
card bears that serial number will be
drafted. Thus, as each number is
drawn, approximately 10000 men will
be drafted, or one in each exemption
district If 100000 men are to be
called before the exemption boards in
the first selection, which seems highly
probable, only forty numbers would
need to be drawn.
There are numerous complications
which must arise, however, and the
method OF solving them can be known
only when the administration makes
known its plans. For instance, the
number Of registered individuals in
each district, who are liable for mill
tary service, will certainly not be the
same, aliens are registered but not
liable for duty.
All this must be considered in franz
ing the resolutions Provision must
be made also to balance as far as
possible the chances of military duty
between the men in each district, Sc
that disqualification of a large NUM-
Der in any particular district for any
reason will not put upon those quail
fled additional likelihood of being sent
to the front.

RACE WAR IN EAST ST. LOUIS
Mob of Whites Fire Negro Sections OF
City and Shoot Down Fleeing
Residents.

East St. Louis, Ill, July 3.-Fires
were burning in five parts of East St.
Louis at 1 o'clock this morning and
at least twenty dead negro bodies and
crowded hospitals testified to the ter
ror that reigned here last night while
mob after mob swept the streets seek.
ing negroes whom they might Stay.
At this hour it was impossible to
make an accurate estimate of the num-
Der Of dead. But this was known:
Five negro sections of the city were
fired by mobs, terrorized negroes fed
from their burning homes only to meet
bullets from the guns Of the rioters;
four other negroes were shot by
snipers and two were lynched.
One white man was killed by q
negro sniper and before the burning
began tonight four negroes and one
white man were killed. This includes
the detective sergeant whose death at
the hands Of negro mob late Sunday
night was the direct cause of the out
break Monday afternoon and Monday
night.
Estimates of the number Of dead
run up to one hundred and higher,
but these estimates are purely con-
jectural. The exact number slaugh-
tered probably never will be known,
as it is thought that many bodies were
consumed in the flames.
Adjt. Gen. Frank S. Dickson Of nli-
nois arrived from Washington and
took charge OF the race riot situation
shortly after midnight this morning.
He went into conference Immediately
with military and civil authorities to
outline a plan OF procedure today.
Adjutant General Dickson said that
troops would be distributed in small
groups throughout the city today and
that they would be instructed to dis
perse every gathering of persons for
any purpose whatever.
I'VE intend to see to it that crowds
do not have opportunity to gather to-
day" stated Adjutant General Dick
son. 'Tn this way it will be possible
to nip in the bud any disturbance to-
day or tonight.
Give hundred rioters, the ringlead-
ers of the biggest mob, am informed,
are now under arrest" said General
Dickson. This was accomplished by
surrounding the rioters and forcing
them to submit without shooting or
employing the bayonet."
