BUTLER MISSOURI IHJRsDAY. 1917.

Isl The fire in the negro homes at
Third and Railroad drove hundreds
of blacks into the open. As they ap-
peared members Of the mob opened
fire on them. AT least five in this
number were killde. outright. Police
assert two others were driven back
into the flames and incinerated.
Thirty-five houses in the Black
Valley were in flames within half an
hour after the fire was started. The
blaze spread toward the center of the
business district. All fire apparatus
in the city was assembled at Third
and Broadway, where the firemen
began a battle to save the town.
n The Broadway fire caused a second
general alarm and apparatus from
The St. Louis side, Of the river was
rushed to East St. Louis.
" 1t is estimated that 10000 men and
women were in the streets, and more
than two thirds Of this number were
armed. Small boys carried revolvers
and were shooting at the blacks.
There were 400 malitiamen on duty
In the zone affected by the fire, but,
despite fixed bayonets. they were
powerless to handle the mob.
Every hospital on the East Side is
Efilled with blacks, who are so severe
Dry injured that many may die. The
s"bull ring" at police headquarters is
packed with negroes badly beaten
and shot.
1t was also made known by city
officials to-day that the trouble start

affray with an unidentified negro.
Dublin. who is in St. Mary's Hospital

Following the stabbing the negro
escaped. A mob of 50 white men
formed in the vicinity and invaded
the black belt searching for the ne

treated a number of the negroes.
The negroes were said to have been
expecting a repetition of the invasion
early today when mobilized.

BRADLEY. WINS BENCH CON-
CONTEST. r..
Supreme Court Unseats Judge Argus
Cox Of Springfield Court Of
Appeals: r.

Jefferson City, Mo-, JUNE 3o.-By
vote Of 4 to 3, the Missouri Su-
preme Court in banc today decided
the contest involving the I2-year
term on the bench of the Springfield
Court OF Appeals in favor Of James
H. Bradley Of Kennett, Dunklin
County, and ordered the unseating OF
Judge Argus Cox of Bolivar, Polk
County. who was awarded the certi-
ficate of election and has been on the
bench since January l..
The contest grew out Of an error
of the County Clerk of Maries Coun-
ty in preparing the ballots for the
last general election in that county.
Cox was the Republican nominee for
I the office and Bradley the Demo-
cratic nominee. .-
Through inadvertence the name of
Arch A. Johnson of Springfield, who
had been a contestant for the DEM
ocratic nomination in the State pri-
mary, was put on the ballot instead
of the name of Bradley. ......
In the 43 counties in the district
outside of Maries County, Bradley
received 86,o28. and Cox 87,271 votes.
In Maries County Cox got 72r votes,
making his total for the ~ counties
$1,000.
Bradley received one vote in ~Maries
County and 1871 votes were cast tor
Johnson.
Judge James T. Blair, who wrote
the opinion, holds that it was the
intention of the 1871 Maries County
voters who cast their ballots for
Johnson to vote for the regular DEM
ocratic nominee and that this was
shown conclusively by the evidence
taken by Special Commissioner II.
f. Alexander.
1t is obvious, Judge Blair says. that
the ballots cannot be counted for
Johnson, the law requiring the names
of party nominees only to be printed
on the ballots. He. says:
"In such circumstances and under
such statutory provisions we are OF
the opinion that party ballot. vot-
ed and cast as printed. must be held
conclusively to show the voters in
tent to vote for the nominee of that
party, and that it must be counted,
with respect to each office for the
party nominee thereof, regardless OF
what name appears in the particular
space devoted to that office. In this
case the agreed acts and statutes are
sufficient without any consideration
i of. the oral evidence offered"
To hold otherwise. Judge Blair
points out, would be in this case to
disfranchise the voters OF one party
in an entire county and would estab-
lish a precedent whereby error might
disfranchise the entire State and be-
hind which, possibly, fraud might en-
trench itself.
Under contrary ruling he says
that it is within possibilities that an
error or fraud in printing the ballots
in Missouri might result in changing
the result even in a national election.
The addition of the 1871 Maries
County votes to Bradley's total gives
him majority of 24S in the district.
Judges Bond, Walker and Wood
son dissent from the opinion OF
Judge Blair and it is concurred in
by Chief Justice Graves and Judges
Faris and Williams. "
