. Hit Neuro Soldier.

HOUSTON, Tex, Aug. 29-Mount Officer Lee Sparks, who testified that he struck two of the negro soldiers one of them Corporal Baltimore-with his pistol last Thursday afternoon a few hours before the riot, was one oi the principal witnesses today in the inquiry being conducted by a board of citizens as representatives of the mu- nicipality, into the riots which cost seventeen lives.
 It was this clash betwen the police and negro soldiers that caused a rum or to reach the negro camp that Cor poral Baltimore had been killed by a policeman. That rumor spread among the negro soldiers and brought to a climax a smoldering feeling against the police that negro soldiers had been harboring for nearly two weeks.
 Officer Sparks told the board of in- quiry that he struck the first negro four times with his revolver and that Corporal Baltimore was struck once; that when Baltimore started to run. a shot was fired into the ground to halt him.
 Another witness, a city fireman, stationed at Camp Logan, gave evi- dence showing that the negro soldiers mad planned the disturbance. He said that a squad of negro soldiers guard ing the government warehouse, some distance west of the negro camp, lett their guard stations upon hearing the first shots fired and marched away in military formation. Two non-commis- stoned officers and handful of guards who refused to join the soldiers in de- serting their guard duty, visited the temporary fire station in the camp and asked to have their names taken so that they could establish the fact that they took no part in the rioting.
 Inspector John l.. Chamberlain of the United States army arrived in Houston this morning to conduct an investiga- tion for the war department.

Republicans May
 Fight Bond Bill
(By Review Leased Wire.) )

WASHINGTON, August 29.-Pas- sage of the s11,53S, S,945,46 war bond and certificate bill by the house be- fore next Tuesday or Wednesday was despaired of tonight by the admins tration leaders after a day of little work in the ways and means commit tee. Secretary McAdoo again was questioned to several hours about the general fiscal relations of the United States and her allies by republicans of the committee who later began fight to limit the secrerary's authority in selling foreign bonds taken in ex change for loans from this country.
 Debate on the question will be re- sumed tomorrow. The republicans insist there will be no assurance that this government will receive dollar for dollar for its loans unless the author ity to sell foreign bonds below par is restricted.
 Republicans made an unsuccessful effort today to induce Democratic Leader Kitchin to call financial ex- perts before the committee to testify regarding the possibility of disposing of the bonds at the rates proposed by the bill.

WiU DiUert Food To Gulf and South
 Ports Of Atlantic
tBy Review Leased Wire.) )

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-Diversion to gulf and South Atlantic ports of vir tually all movement of foodstuffs des. tined for export to Europe, is planned as a government war measure to re lieve Congestion of freight terminals and ports in the east. The plans will be worked out by the shipping board | in cooperation with shippers, ship owners and port authorities. The ship ping board will soon name a general traffic manager who will be put in charge of the program. It was said tonight the place probably would go to Benjamin L. Winchell of Chicago, now traffic manager of the Union Pacific Railroad company. The shipping board hopes to have the plan working before snows and bad weather have made transcontinental freight traffic still harder to move.
 Officials wko have given the subject thought, declare the proposal will add 25 or 35 per cent to the efficiency Of American railways systems and will do away with the present congestion of freight in northeastern points. The chief advantage claimed for the arrangement is that export food, large ly a western and middle western pro duct, will get shorter haul and that munitions and other manufactured products turned out largely in the east will not be delayed in shipment while awaiting their return with raw pro ducts.
 Five ports in the south will be made the chief loading points. They are Galveston, Port Arthur. New Orleans, Savannah and Charleston.

fRy Review Leased Wirel


 OTTAWA, Can, Aug. 29.-Conscrip- tion became law in Canada today when Justice Duff of the supreme court, acting for the governor general, gave royal assent to the measure.
 The bill is for the purpose of rais- ing 100000 men to reinforce the Ca nada divisions fighting at the front. All Canadians between the age of 20 and 45 will be called. It is expected that in the near future the first class consisting of all unmarried Canadians between3 20 and 34 years will be call ed and that this class will provide the required 100000.
 After assent had been given Premier Borden, speaking in the house of con- mons, asked Sir Wilfred Laurier to cooperate with hi min naming a board of selection ro chose call tribunals who are to deal with applications for ex- emption from military service.
 Sir Wilfred replied in terms that are regarded as significant in view of his opposition to conscription and that of the French-Canadians of Quebec lie said he would agree Co the request of the prime minister, adding, ~as the bill is now law, it is the duty of all loyal subjects to see it carried out harmon iously."

PRINTERS STRIKE THREATENED
tBy Review Leased wire.l

DENVER, Aug. 29.-A strike of be- tween 250 and 300 job printers of Den ger was threatened tonight following he refusal of employers to grant the demands of the union for $50 a week. The men are now getting s25 and an offer of the employers to pay BPS was rejected, it was announced tonight.
 Sanction of the International Union is necessary before a strike is called.
 Any attempt of the state industrial Commission to interfere with the strike, if called, will precipitate a de- termined fight upon the constitutional ity of the law creating the commission and the printers will have the support of the entire organization of the state federation of labor. it was declared to- night by John McLennan, president of the federation.
 The state Jaw provides that notice of strike must be filed with the com mission 30 days before the strike is called. No notice of a strike has been filed.

RANGERS ROPE AUTO
 FULL 0F WHISKEY
Former Bisbee Resident Is Caught With the Goods by Pima County Rangers

Rangers Tom Burts and Mcclure seem to think that roping cows is much too slow for their need of ex- citement, and have originated a new game, that of hunting the numerous bootleggers that are sneaking into the state.
 This morning Burts and Mcclure got wind of coming bootlegger tray cling the Vail road, so getting out their ropes they waited for their un- suspecting victim. Six miles the oth- CT side of Vail station was set for the meeting place of both sides and as the bootlegger came humming along with a two-passenger Studebaker Six, Burts and Mcclure neatly caught both rear wheels by their well-placed ropes, bringing the car to a stop.
 They escorted the prize into town and arriving at the court house the two rangers had the pleasure of in vestigating the contents of the captur- ed car. Tucked well back under the seat and covered completely with saw dust the object of interest was found. consisting of 52S pints of whisky and 14 bottles of beer, or in financial terms of bootleg prices S1,5S5.
 The driver of the car was William Krupp. He had recently been pardon ed from the like breach of the law, but undoubtedly the temptation of making big haul was too strong for him. The captured prize is still with in the walls of the court house, but it probably will go the way that for mer objects of its kind have gone; to keep green the grass and to re- duce the water bill for the city.-Tuc- son Citizen.
 Krupp for number of years was resident of the Warren District and ran an auto for hire. He left here about a year ago and has been in Pima county since. He and his wife have been arrested there several times for bootlegging.
