ORDER INVESTIGATION
OF CLASH IN TEXAS

Waco, Texas, July 3O.-Steps We're
instituted by army officers today for a
general investigation Of the clashes
last night between police officers and
negroo troopers of the Twenty fourth
United States infantry.
With the taking into custody by
military officers of the negroes, who
took part in the riots last night, quiet
prevails in Waco tonight.
To avoid the possibility of recur-
renee OF rioting between black soldiers
and citizens. negro troopers have been
barred from entering the city without
a military rass.
The trouble last night occurred when
negro soldiers of the Twenty fourth
United States infantry are said to
have torn down sign in a restaurant
and ordered the white proprietor not to
put it up again. Another version is
that the rebellious troopers refused to
allow white pedestrians to pass in
front of a picture show.

t. live o6 years longer and see the
greatest and most renowned summer
resort in the world built around the

Until recently, Flathead lake has

Ever since the completion of these

ability of building branch lines to
reach both ends of the lake, using
water transportation for the connect
ing link between the railroad termin-
ais, thus uniting the north and south
portions of the state of Montana, as
well as the two national parks situ-
ated within it's borders.
The great ambition Of my life will
soon be realized. A branch line touch

has been in operation for some time,
and Il branch line from the south, to

TO GRANT FEW
EXEMPTIONS
BOARD EXERCISING EXTREME
CAUTION IN PASSING ON ALL
CLAIMS WHICH HAVE BEEN
FILED,

After the entire day had been spent
IN Investigating claims for exemption,
the local board adjourned Yesterday
afternoon, until this afternoon at
2:30, with fifty more claims to decide
upon. From the results so far, it is
befstsd tGs!t the necessary 274 will
be supplied out of the first call for
$50, and that very few more, if anv,
will be called to make up the quota.
The board exercises great caution
IN deciding the cases, taking into con-
sideration the two-fold need of the
nation, the military and the indus
trial rules from the provost marshal
urge them to strike an even balance
between the two, and to give as many
men tn the ar-anw rar~Ail>l~ ---:4L,
nation.
Such claims are comparatively easy
to establish, though the difficulty lies
in the Claims of dependent relatives.
While a great number of such claims
were filed, only those actually borne
out by facts in the case are granted.

LABOR DAY PICNIC
is BEING PLANNED

Local Assembly, No. 1866, K. of l.,
is perfecting plans for one of the
most auspicious of outings Labor
Day, when the annual picnic will take
place, probably at Palmetto Beach.
Several plans looking toward the pre-
liminaries have been discussed, and
all committees, which Master Work
man Simpson will announce shortly,
are expected to work diligently, to
make the picnic one of the grandest
ever held under the auspices of the
local assembly.
Some of the members of the local
branch are employed at the Pensa-
cola naval station, and have decided
to cater especially to the pleasure
of the large number of young men
stationed there, some of them many
miles from their homes. The best
of features will be employed to make
the annual affair most attractive for
both the naval and army men at the
local reservation. and it is expected
the Pensacola public will cooperate
to the fullest extent in contributing
to the enjoyment of the service men

The Pensacola Journal

Tallahassee, Aug. 16.-The thirty
three text book representatives in
Tallahassee for high school book
adoption are not at ease tonight, but
are talking more or less excitedlv in
little knots. The question has come
up IN hearing of main text book com
mission as to whether or not contracts
can be made and filled before the
opening of school. Practically all
agents Immediately wired their houses
and have received telegram in reply
to effect that books can be supplied
in time.
There IS some fear expressed that
there may be no adoption and the
unopened report of sub-commission
may be left sealed until a later date.
Commissioner of Agriculture w. A.
McRae sisted that there was delav
IN supplying the books six years ago
when graded school books were adop-
ted, that books were much harder to
supply now than then, that if there
were any quibble over this fiftv thou

Mr.. McRae, "and a record vote taken

All of the book company represen-

mittee of the sub commission has not
yet addressed the main commission
in behalf of its report.
Other cabinet officials state that
they have spent the week on this mat
ter and that board matters of one
nature or another have occupied mast
of their time since the legislature ad-
iourned, consequently they are behind
with their work. But the anxious
book companies declare that as soon
as an adoption is made the texts will
be Forthcoming in time for the open

be some division of sentiment as to
whether to proceed with the adoption
or not, and the board will take a
vote as to its next step in the matter
