BODIES MAY BE BURIED
 IN DEBRIS AT MATTOON
Census Fails to Account For a Nub-
 Der of Persons.

Mattoon, Ills. May 29-Possibf1ity that bodies may be buried in the wrecked homes at Mattoon developed tonight when a census of the city re- vealed that a number of persons were unaccounted for.
 Sixteen persons were reported miss ing by the Red Cross relief organiza- tion and immediately a force of men began a thorough search of the ruins.
 The same thorough search will be taken in Charleston. although 1t is be- lieved that every resident of that town has been accounted for.
 Reconstruction cannot begin in most parts of the city for at least two weeks because of the heaps of wreck age to be removed.
 Carloads of food from tI1rougho1It Illinois Indiana and Missouri contin- ued to arrive in Charleston and Mat toon today and tonight
 J. J. O'Con1or. director of the Red Cross, said that the supply now avail able is enough to feed the people of Mattoon for three months
 Based or a compilation of farmers reports, W. M Moran, supervisor of Mattoon township, estimates the prop erty loss to farmers in the storm swept county between Mattoon and Charles ton at about $500. 900. The Mattoon loss has been estimated at about s1,- 125, 900 and that of Charleston at more than $1 ,000, 900.

northwest of La Basse and the French official communication assert ing that artillery fighting alone pre- vailed. Following reports of any in- crease in the Russian artillery activ- ity against the Austrians in the east ern theatre comes a statement that there has been a recrudescence in the activity of the Russo -Rumanian forces against the Teutonic allies in Ruma- mia and that early attacks by them are expected. The visits to Jassy, the new capital of Rumania, of M. Thom- as, the French minister of munitions, and M Kerensky, the Russian minis ter of war, possibly may be connected with the revival of the activity of the Russo-Rumanian troops.
 Again another act of gross inhu- manity has been perpetuated by a Teutonic allied submarine. This was the sinking in the Mediterranean of the British hospital ship Dover Cas- tie. Although the vessel was carry ing sick and wounded, two torpedoes were sent into her vitals, the first without warning. Fortunately, all on board except six men of the crew were saved.
 A submarine also has accounted for the British armed mercantile cruiser Hillary, which was sunk in the North sea with a loss of four men killed by the explosion

PROGRESS IN SENATE
 ON FOOD SURVEY BILL
Agricultural Committee FaVors Penal.
 izing Storage of Necessities.

Washington, May 29.-Considerab1e progress was made by the senate to- day toward passage of the administra- tion food survey and production bill. Early in the day the agriculture com nnittee substituted for the measure the senate has been considering, the similar bill which already has passed the house. thereby paving the way for prompt final enactment.
 Into the house bill the committee had written an amendment by Senator Poindexter to penalize the storage of food, fuel and other necessities with intent to corner a. market, with a pro- viso by Senator Kenyon exempting farmers and other original producers.
 A motion by Senator McKe11ar strik- ing from the bill the provision provid- ing for the eradication of insects and plant diseases injurious to agriculture was adopted by the senate without a record vote. Another proposal by the Tennessee senator to reduce the appro- priation for seeds to be sold to the farmers at cost. from g, 800, 900 to $1,- 000, 900 was rejected.
 During the debate Senator Sherman criticfZed-the activities of the council of national defense. He said he did not question the councils motives, but thought 1t was interfering with the general welfare of the country by it's orders in many cases

ANTI-cONScRI
 AGITATION IN KANSAS. Federal Grand Jury Will Consider the
 Cases June 6.

Kansas City. Mo, May 29.-Every Investigating agency of the federal government in Kansas City was as- signed today to the task of learning if reasonable motives are reasonable for injunction petitions seeking to restrain operation of the army draft regulation law which were filed in the state cir cult court today. Hearing on the peti- tions has been set forward at the re- quest of J. D. Shewalter. attorney for the petitioners, who declared his pres ence in the state'G capital was neces- sary tomorrow so he might prosecute a mandamus suit which he declared would be filed then against Governor F. D. Gather and the state adjutant general who, his petition asserts. have been acting in an oppressive manner"
 As result of anti draft agitation in this district, special United States grand jury has been called for June 6 to consider cases growing out of vio- lation of war legislation.
 The injunction petition is signed by Raymond I. Moore and ThomaF C. Sul- livan. It is directed against Governor Gardner, Mayor Edwards, the election commi ssioners and the county sheriff
 The application sets forth that the registra ton law Is unconstitutional. causing involuntary servitude," and also is in conflict with the Missouri constitution in that 1t makes state of- f1cials act in federal positions.

Washington, May 29.-Decisions on nearly all important questions in re- drafting the $1,8O0, 100000 war tax bill had been reached late today when the senate finance committee sus- pended it's work over Decoration Day Except for the liquor and-stamp taxes carried in the measure as it passed the house, the committee has settled the major principles of revision, with q view toward reducing the house total to around $1,5OO. .O00, 900.
 The principal discussions today were:
 Elimination of the general tariff tax of 10 per cent.
 Ad valorem on all imports, (estimat- ed to raise $200. 000,000) and substitu tion of excise, or consumption taxes on sugar, coffee, tea and cocoa.
 Reduction of the house increases of taxes on cigars, cigarette and all other tobacco products from about 100 per cent to 60 per cent. with no es- timated reduction in the s7S,200, 900 designed to be brought in under the house rates.
 Elimination of the taxes of 5 per cent on consumers electric light and power, gas and telephone bills, eSti- mated by the house to raise in all $30, ,0CO. 900. The committee, however. proposes to retain the tax on tele- graph and long distance telephone messages.
 Illumination of taxes on all insurance, involving revenue loss of $5,000,000.
 Addition of a new per pound tax upon confectionery, estimated to raise from $1O.O0O. 900 to $15,00O 900 to be paid by manufacturers.
 Reduction of taxes on soft drinks and their ingredients to make the total levy about $15,00OOO00 instead of $2O,- 900. 900.
 With these phases of it's task de- cided upon, the committee arranged to have Chairman Simmons and treasury department experts make a survey to-

UNITED STATES SUPREMACY
 IN INTERNATIONAL FINANCE
Is Contemplated in a Plan Which Is
 to Be Enforced.

Washington, May 29.-To enable the United States to retain it's present su- premacy in international finance throughout the war-an aim with which the entente powers are under stood to be in full accord-and to emerge in strong financial condition afterwards, officials have in mind the enforcement of programme, the sali- ent features of which are:
 The virtual closing of American money markets to further foreign gov ernment bond issues throughout the war;
 The stabilizing of business condi- tions, so far as possible. by the con ternplated international purchasing board: and
 Generalization of the country's f. nancial system by the addition to the federal reserve system of thousands of strong trust companies and state banks at present non-members- Virtually all financial plans of the government, including the fotation of the liberty loan and the programme of financing the entente governments as well as the efforts to continue the country's present prosperity are made with those features in mind. Closing of the money markets here to further issues Of foreign govern n> bonds is regarded as imperative if the government is to reynain master of the financial situation. To this end it Is understood that the govern ment will notify bankers contemplating the underwriting of foreign bonds of it's disapproval. The investment mar ket so far as the government can con trol it. is not to be disturbed by out side bond issues. for the biz portion of Americas savings it is felt. will be needed to finance the pG<t America will play in the war.
 Cooperating with the United States in this respect, Great Britain changed it's plans upon Americas entrance in fn Ina S200 0Q0
 bonds here, secured by Canadia~ Pa cific securities. Arrangements for
 raising this money had progressed to
 a point where virtually all details had
 been decided. When the United
 States entered the war the plans were
 cancelled and Great Britain borrowed
 what funds it needed from the Amer
 ican treasury instead.

 Three engine companies of fire de- partments responded to an alarm on North Third street, heavily settled by negroes, and were met by a vo1ley of shots when they arrived, but none was hit. Several other false alarms were turned in.
 Three negroes were shot one prob ably fatally, earlier in the evening One of the negroes shot was on his way to work when he was accosted by a white man who demanded to know his desti- nation The negro refused to answer and the white man shot him. 4 crowd gathered quickly, but the police dis persed it by using their clubs freely

 A negro carrying a, sack containing eight revolvers and several rounds of ammunition was arrested on the Ill., nois approach of Eads' bridge. He had come from St. Louis.
 The race riots began late last night shortly after a committee from the labor unions met with officials of the city council to protest against further importation of negroes from the south to work in the stockyards and packing plants and were given impetus by a report that negroes had insulted a whte woman and had held up two whte men in this city.
