It is recalled that extensions of
barracks and quarters were built at
a dozen places for the new units of
the regular establishment. These
had to be completed on much shorter
notice than the big cantonments.
The work involved an outlay of ST.

ings were ready on time. There was
minimum of outside interference
in this work.
The quartermaster corps must
now turn to the work of providing
for the 16 divisional camps for the

will be required at each place, never

house more than $4,000 guardsmen.
While the setting up of canvas tents
is a relatively simple matter at all

ST. LOUIS RIOTS
Are DENOUNCED
BY ROOSEVELT
Interrupted by Samuel
Gompers at Reception to

(By Associated Press.)

New York, July denial by
Samuel Gompers. president Of the
American Federation OF Labor that
trades unions had had any share in
the East st. Louis riots which was
met by a vehement denunciation by
Theodore Roosevelt of the murder OF
helpless negroes, precipitated a tu-
multuous demonstration at a mass
meeting held in Carnegie hall here
last night in honor of the Russian
mission TO the United States.
Mr.. Roosevelt was interrupted by
Mr.. Gompers, who rose from his seat
and approached the former presi-
dent.
why don't you accuse after an
investigation" the labor leader de-
manded.
With these words. he returned to
his seat. Roosevelt strobe over TO his
chair and exclaimed:
MIR. Gompers. why don't accuse
afterwards? I'll answer now when
murder is to be answered."
With that the colonel brought
down on Mr.. Gompers' shoulder his
left open hand. which he had raised
above his head. At this juncture,
many OF the men on the platform
leaped to their feet and there was q
storm of Kisses, cheers and ''boos"
from all parts OF the house. When
Mr.. Roosevelt could make himself
heard above the din he went on:
Il will go TO any extreme TO bring
Justice to the laboring man. but
when there is murder I will put him
down"
Order Restored.
When the former president had
finished, Mr.. Gompers, evidently
deeply stirred, started to rise to
make a reJoinder. but was pushed
/ back into his seat by those who sat
near him while Mayor Mitchell. who
presided, pounded vigorously with
his gavel in an effort to restore or
der. Several minutes elapsed before
II was possible to introduce Boris
Bakhmetieff. the Russian ambassa-
dor, and continue the meeting. As
the excitement subsidized. Mr.. Roose-
welt and Mr.. Gompers found them
selves side by side.
1t was at the close of an address
by Mr. Gompers that the colonel was
recognized by Mayor Mitchell. Mr.
laboring men are in the same posi-
ton as the Russians under the old
regime. He read a telegram he said
he had received last night from the
president Of the federation of labor
Of Illinois. This message purported
to explain the East st. Louis riots.
II asserted that instead OF labor
unions being responsible for them
they resulted from employers en-
ploying the negroes from the south
to break the back of labor"

MILLION MORE
CARS IN 1916
Is 40 Per Cent Increase
Over 1915-Revenue -
Nearly &c Million

Washington, D. c., July 7.-1916
there were 1,067,332 more motor cars
registered in the United States than
| in 1915. This was an increase of AZ
per cent. The gross total of regis
tered cars, including commercial
cars, was 3,512,996; the number of
motorcycles registered was 250,S20.
The several states collected in regis
tration and license dees, including
those of chauffeurs and operators, a
total gross revenue of $25,S65, 36975.
910,811, was applied directly to con-
struction, improvement, or MAIN
tenance of the public roads in 40
states, according to figures compiled
by the Office OF public roads of the
United States department of agri-
culture, in circular 70, Automobile
Registrations, Licenses and Reven-
ues in the United States. 1916"
The figures for 1915 correspond
very closely with the annual per-
centage increase Of motor regis
tration of the last three years. This
yearly increase has averaged 40 per
cent in the number of cars, and so
per cent in revenues.
Increase Is Remarkable.
When viewed over a period Of
years, the increase in motor-car reg
istration and gross revenue has been
remarkable. In 1906 the total state
registrations were approximately
$4,000 cars, on account of which the
several states collected in fees and
licenses a total gross revenue of
about $4,000. Only a small part Of
this was applied to road work. In
1915 the $25,S65, 369.75 collected
formed nearly per cent of the total
rural road and bridge revenues of
the states.
Recent years have shown an in
creasing tendency to put the spend
ing Of the motor-car revenues d.
rectly in the hands of the state high
way departments. OF the total
applied to road work in
1916, 20 per cent, of $16.411. SIC, was
more or less directly under
the control or supervision Of state
highway departments. Only 10
states did not exercise any direct
control over the expanding of the
net automobile revenues

HEAR OF PLOT
TO BURN CROPS
I. w. W. Said to Have De-
signs on South Dakota
Grain
DIV Associated Press. J

Sioux Falls, S. D., July 7.-Gov-
eminent officials last night were ret
icent in discussing the alleged plot
of the Industrial Workers of the
World to paralyze the state by a
concerted attempt to burn the ripen-
ed crops. However, it was stated the
government was investigating tho
plot and when definite evidence could
be obtained. arrests would be made.
One official gave additional credence
to the announcement made by army
officers that a statewide move was
afoot to destroy the growing crops,
by stating that the disclosures should
be given wide publicity in order that
the plans of the plotters might bo
frustrated.
Maps of the principal crop dis
tricts are in possession of !. w. w.
leaders connected with the plot, it
is asserted by army officers. 1t Id
also declared that men have been
posted at vantage points throughout
the state to fire the fields. Officials
urged all farmers to be on watch for

AMERICANS FREE
Virtually All Restrictions On Those
in Germany Removed.
(Ry Assoeiated Press.l


Berlin, via London. july 7.-Virtu-
ally all restrictions and regulation to
which American citizens resident in
Germany have been subjected, are re-
moved through an agreement reached
between the German foreign office
and the military and police authori-
ties. The agreement exempts the
citizens OF the United States from re-
porting to the police and for observ-
ing the hours fixed for outdoor move
ments.
American citizens hereafter will be
permitted to travel about Germany
without being called on to go through
the laborious and slow moving rou-
tine attached to the issuance of trav-
Ell permits. The new agreement vir-
tually places Americans on the same
footing as neutrals, only such per-
sons as may be under suspicion being
excluded from the new privileges.

MEXICO NAY

Sentiment Favoring Break
With Germany Spreads
to Northern Mexico
GONZALES SPEAKS
OUT IN MEETING
Consigns Kaiser to an Even
Hotter Place Than
Mexico
(By Associated Press.)


Ell Paso, Tex, July 7.-Since the
pro-aily campaign in Mexico was
started by FL Universal in Mexico
City, the sentiment favoring the al
lies has reached Northern Mexico,
and during the last thirty DAYS, a
well defined movement favoring an
open break with Germany and the
alignment of Mexico on the side of
the entente allies has developed.
This has been in spite of the pro-
German sentiments published daily
in Chihuahua City and in other
papers believed to be subsidized by
the Germans in the north.
A reflection of this sentiment was
seen recently in the statement by
General Francisco Gonzales, acting
commander in chief Of the north
eastern military zone with head
quarters at Chihuahua. He was over
charged by the German firm of Ket-
elsen and Degetau for some pad
locks. The manager was arrested
and placed in the penitentiary. The
German consul made a demand for
his release lin the name of the Inn
perial German government and the
kaiser" according to a Mexican Of
fetal who was present at the time.
Tell the German consul he, the
Imperial government and the kaiser
may all go to hell" General Con
zales answered.
Prominent Mexicans. men in close
touch with the capitol, predict Mexi-
co will declare war on Germany
within thirty days. According to
these men all German money in the
Mexico City, Torreon, Chihuahua
City and other banks will be seized
as soon as war is declared. the Ger
man boats in Tampico and other
ports will be seized, thereby giving
Mexico much needed merchant
fleet and all Germans will either be
informed or deported at once, their
properties being confiscated.
The tampical oil fields would be
made safe for the oil supply of the
allied fleets

Washington, July 6.-The big task
of completing all plans for the con-
struction of the environments for the
16 training camps for the new ma
tional army is now a matter of his
tory and the contracts have been
awarded.
Col Isaac w. Littel, quarter
master corps, head of the extensive
organization which is directing and
supervising the work is a veteran in
this line. While there was much de-
lay in getting plans and specifica-
tons in final shape it cannot be
fairly charged to Colonel Littel and
other quartermaster officers associ-
ated with him.
The job was so big that the coun-
ell of national defense through its
advisory commission, brought to
Washington a small army of civilian
experts. While these men rendered
valuable assistance, one set of plans
after another was thrown away and
great deal of criticism heaped upon
those who were seeking to get the
work started.
