EAST ST. LOUIS, H., July 5.-A
federal investigation of the rioting In
this city during the past several days
that to date has caused the death Of
33 negroes and 6our whites was begun
here yesterday. by Col. George K
Hunter, inspector general Of the Cen
trail Department, whose headquarters
are at Chicago.
Special attention, it Is anticipated,
VIII be paid 20 the charges that the
National Guard, which was called out
for duty In connection with the riot.
ing, was guilty of cowardice, to the ex-
tent even that some Of the guardsmen
are alleged to have allowed them
selves to be deprived of their rifles
by rioters. t..:.
On account Of the reign Of terror
caused by the bloody efforts Of white
iaborers to prevent the use Of import
ed negro laborers IN local industries,
no celebration of the Fourth Of July
was attempted. The city was quiet
yesterday, with. 81 dead in the morgue
and more than rs wounded lying In
the hospitals Of the city as q result Of
the three days fioting during which
the streets Of the city ran with blood
and negroes were publicly hanged and
shot down like wild animals by the
maddened crowds OF white rioters.
Governor Lowden indicated yester-
day that he would have a thorough
Investigation made Of the charges of
iaxness and cowardice on the part of

by Col. Hunter indicates that one Of

FINANCE WRINKLE
CAUSES CONMNG
MUCH PERPLEEITY
Barred From Putting Liquor
License Revenue into the
Cash Basis Fund

The cash basis fund Is causing D.
L. Conkling, city and county treas
urer, considerable trouble. He should
have set It aside at the end of June
but as the tax valuation of the county
had not then been announced he was
unable to do so and now the bank ex-
ruled that the money from the liquor
licenses cannot be used for this pur
pose.
In commenting on the situation,
Conkling says:
:'The cash basis fund is made up of
receipts accruing to the treasury dur
ing the six months in which it was
collected.
- 1T has always been the custom to
look upon the liquor license money
which is turned in on the last day of
the first six months of the year as a
filler for the cash basis fund.
Now the bank examiner, NJ. H.
Drummond, informs me as the liquor
licenses are collected for the period
July to December 81, the money
is not available for the cash basis
fund and Drummond is backed up by
the city and county auditor, James
Bicknell.
This ruling Is surprising because
when Drummond was city and county
treasurer he used the liquor license
money to make up his cash basis
fund.
Il think after having set prece
dent 1t Is a rather peculiar decision
at this time. =. .......
- II have been unable to date to set
aside any money In the cash basis
fund accurately because ! cannot find
out from the territorial officials what
the tax valuation was as OF January
