The mobs in East St. Louis were
awelled 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. This
forced hundreds of residents of sur

As soon as street car traffic ended at

Two Lynchings Frustrated.
The mobs got into a lynching mood
last night. One negro was strung up
on pole, but was rescued just in

still another negro who was being
dragged through the streets. After
military rule had been proclaimed, the
soldiers put more vigor into their at

With this show of force the rioters
in part quieted down. Troops stood

Opening with a burst of patriotic enthusiasm seldom witnessed in q theater on any occasion, The Eagles Wings" which is the feature of the present Fox program, created deep far-reaching impression on those who watched it's initial presentation yes- terday. This picture, which is being presented under the auspices of the New Britain Recruiting ofl1ces, Is a scenes are laid in Washington. in the States, and at Columbus, New Mexico, where an extremely vivid reproduce ton of the Mexican raid Is shown. The story deals with the efforts ot interruptions representatives of a certain foreign power to influence members of congress to kill the pre- paredness bill. so that their govern ment can work deep and lasting ill., juries to America with immunity.
