receiving the new proposal of Senatof Hardwtck, backed by the postofrice uu- partment. First Assistant Postmas. ter General Coombs and Second Assist ant Stewart, in addition to MT. Hard wick were heard by the committee this afternoon
 Senator HardWlck's amendment pre- VIdes that the cent a pound second class rate shall be retained on news matter of second-class publications, but proposes graduated tax upon the parts of such publications devoted co advertising. He tod the committee that by his method s20000. 900 of ad- ditional revenue this year could be raised. For the first year he proposed a tax or 3 per cent upon advertising iH second-class publications, of celr,s pound beginning July 1, 1918, and of cents a pound thereafter.
 The tax would be computed upon a space and weight basis, the advertls- ing being measured and the tax levied upon the percentage O. tue publica- tons weight devoted to advertise. ments. 1t is expected the new pro- posal will be as vigorously opposed by publishers as the house zone system.
 If adopted, 1t would be in addition to the direct advertising tax of 2 per cent tentatively approved by the com- n ittee.
 The general tariff increase Of 10 per cent Of the house bill will be consid- cred by the committee tomorrow. Many members are insisting upon It's elimination If not stricken out, Sen. ators tonight said, 1t would be great.

East St. Louis, H., May 29.-(Tues. day)-A mob estimated at 5000 per sons determined as they shouted. to rid the city of negroes imported to work in facotries and intuition plants. swept through the streets last night and early this morning attacking and beating negroes wherever found. several negroes have been injured so severely they probably will die.
 The mob stopped street cars and interurban cars in it's search and at o'clock was threatening to storm the Ja1, where at least a score of negroes had been taken for safe keeping. Am bulances made the rounds of the streets where the mob had travelled to pick up the unconscious and injured blacks and take them to hospitals and temporary shelters
 The police were helpless against the mob. Mayor Fred Mollman ap. pealed to Major R. w. Cavanaugh in charge of two companies of the Sixth Illinois infantry quartered in the town for aid. Major CaEanaugh heading a detail of 125 men, helped to fight back the mob, while several negroes were rescued, but 1t soon became evident that this small force of soldiers was inadequate.
 Mayor Mol.man then telegraphed Governor Lowden to send additional troops for duty.
 The beginning of the riot resulted from q delegation or sixty members Of the East St Louis Trades and La bor Union visiting the regular meet. ing of the city council to protest against the importation of negroes from Mississippi to fill positions in the various factories of the city.
 An hour before the meeting was Co have started a huge crowd had gath. cred in front of the city hall seeking admission
 To accommodate as many as pos sibe the meeting was held in the main auditorium. Mayor MolIman advised moderation and declared that within few days some method of controlling the importation of negroes would be found. It was estimated that 5000 blacks had been brought into the city since January 1.
 When the meeting adjourned hun. dreds of persons were assembled out. side the building. The mayor mount. ed the running board of an automobile and made another appeal, counselling the crowd to remain quiet. He was applauded and the crowd moved away.
 The crowd was peaceable until news was received that two white men had been held up and shot by q negro who was said tQ have been wounded in return.
 Efforts of the police to queIl the mob spirit then failed. Dozens of sa. loons were wrecked in the negro dis trict and every negro found was beaten
 The downtown section was overrun Repeated riot cal brought out every available policeman. Many in the mob were armed. as shots were fired frequently.
 At i.30 o'clock the mob had broken up somewhat, but the police fear they have only formed gangs in order to work more quietly There was talk or asking St. Louis to send aid across lhe river
