New York, June 14.--Alan r. Haw-
ley, president of the Aero club of
American, announced tonight he had
written to Senator Chamberlain, chair
man of the senate committee on mill
tary affairs, and informed him that
eight American aeroplanc manufac-
turers are idle for lack of government
orders. due to delay in making the
necessary appropriation.
There are eight airplanc manufacture
crs who have facilities for manufac-
turing 1000 airplancs in three months,
and could develop their facilities to
manufacture 5000 airpalnes within
six months, practically idle for lack of
government orders" His letter reads:
1--WE submit that instead of keeping
these manufacturers idle they should
be given large orders to enable them
to develop their manufacturing facil-
tiles to 10 times their present capacity
This they can do easily"

Bozcman, June 14,--In the trial of

pretty steadily to his story as it has
been given several times during the
trial by witnesses 10 whom he told 1t
at various times. Such additions as
he made were in the direction of
showing the rrONocation he had and
the danger he thought he was in from
the two men he admits shooting.
County Attorney Carlson was not able
to confuse him on any of the main
parts of the story.

Fourth Race Riot
Sweeps Chester;
3 Negroes Shot
Scores ofWhite Men Beaten
Unconscious as Guards
Charge Mobs

Chester, Penn, July 27.-Although a
force of nearly two hundred armed
guards, including local and state po-
lice and volunteer deputies, was pa
trolling the city, a mob Of several
thousand men and boys renewed race
rioting here tonight. Shortly after
dark the rioters got beyond control
and beat a negro insensible before he
could be rescued by the police. Scores
were arrested.
The authorities, who believed the
situation was under control, were
taken by surprise when the rioters
first appeared in large numbers in the
central section Of the city. All negroes
had been ordered to remain indoors
and the crowd Of white men was kept
moving.
When they attacked to-night's vic
tim rioting broke out on a large scale
for the fourth time this week. Wagon
loads of guards, held ready for
trouble, were rushed to the scene of
the disorder, and the mob was driven
back at the muzzles of revolvers and
rifles. After a scene Of confusion the
streets were cleared, but not before
dozens of white men had been knocked
UNCONSCIOUS with riot sticks.
Frank Meadows, negro, who was
shot at noon to-day, was reported to
be near death in the City Hospital.
Two other negroes, fired on at the
same time, are also in a serious con-
dition.
Sheriff Neyburn issued a proclama-
ton tonight forbidding all citizens to
congregate in the streets and ordered
every one indoors after p. m, except
those whose business made it neces-
sary for them to be in the streets.
All the saloons and places of amuse-
ment were ordered closed indefinitely.
While the riots were the direct re-
suit of the killing by negroes Of Will
lam Mckinney, a young white man, Of
ficials declare the importation of a
large number of negro laborers from

killed, were put down with but little

c. F. u, After Debate
On Spy Peril, Indorses
Wilson and Gompers
Statement, Credited to Bohm,
That Unions Harbored
Traitors Denied

The Central Federated Union had a
stormy discussion on spies last night,
after which resolutions indorsing
President Wilson's conduct of the war
and Samuel Gompers' conduct OF the
affairs of the American Federation of
Labor were adopted. A resolution In
dorsing Edward Cassidy. the Socialist
Labor party candidate, for President
of the Board of Aldermen was also
passed.
The trouble arose over statements
credited to Ernest Bohm, secretary Of
the union, in which the charge was
made that the labor movement is full
Of spies. Bohm denied having made
such a statement, and resolution was
offered asking publication in the daily
papers of Bohm's denial.
"If there are spies here | am going
to be ore of the first to drive them
out" declared Charles Weinstein after
the resolution had been read. But I
want to know who and where they
are"
you ask me-" interrupted Bohm; 81
do not know where they are"
James Bagley, of the Pressmen's
Union, followed this with a motion to
ignore anything Bohm might say. Pres
ident Holland of the State Federation
countered with an attack upon Bagley,
who, he said, had accused the legisla-
tive agents of the labor unions of aid
ing in drafting bills which would have
repealed the child labor laws. Bagley
denied this in such vehement language
that woman delegate objected.
Then, after a patriotic speech by Mr..
Holland, the resolution indorsing Mr..
Wilson and Mr.. Gompers was adopted
without oppositiNn.

Says All Spies Are in Jail
British AdDise American
Public to Aid Spy Hunt

London, July l2.-Thc most effective
method of combating the German
espionage system in the United States
is 20 be found in cooperation between
the public generally and the police,
according to high officials of Scotland
Yard.
From the first days of the war Eng
lish police and military agents who
have had to do with the gathering in of
German spies have received masses Of
information from citizens regarding
suspicious persons, and through this CO.
operation have been enabled to appre-
hend many undesirable and dangerous
persons.
Scotland Yard has had considerable
trouble with neutrals in the employ of
the German government, and the Eng
lish police feel that this menace is
one which the United States will have
TO guard against.
Since the entry Of the United States
into the war. English officials and of
fcials Of the United States Depart
ment Of Justice have been closely CO.
operating along these and other re-
lated lines. and the American agents
have been furnished with much infor-
nation.
Scotland Yard has the greatest re-
spcct for the abilities and efficiency
OF the American police. but feels that
they would probably be able to accom-
pish much more If they had more
power to act in emergencies. More
over. it is realized that the task be-
fore the American spy catchers is even
more difficult one than it has been
for those Of England. In the first
place, there are more Germans in the
United States than there ever have
been in England and then they have
more room TO work in and more ave-
nues of communication.
The compact wireless apparatus, cas-
ily moved about and within containers
that disguise its real nature, is to be
especially guarded against, Scotland
Yard feels. Considerable difficulty has
been experienced here with the wireless,
and the police now freely employ an
instrument through the use Of which
these enemy instruments are detected.
Scotland Yard IL intensely interested
in the work that is being done in the
United States 10 discover how the
Germans found oct when American
destroyers were due in English waters.
Obviously, the English officials say.
, German spios are in a position TO be-
come familiar with the most secret
Of secrets In Washington.
There is general feeling in Lon
don that the execution of the first
spies caught would go far in the
United States toward persuading
others, Germans as we'll as neutrsls.
that such work Is extremely hazardous
and very likely TO have disastrous re-
suits.

Allied Charities
Reach Agreement
With Red Cross
Former Organization to De-
vote Most of Its Efforts to
Raising Funds
By BRIGGS

The deadlock between the Red Cross
and the Federal Council of Allied War
Relief Charities was bridged yesterday
by tentative understanding between
the two organizations which promises
to form a basis for a lasting agree
ment. The compromise was reached
at conference between Judge Robert
S. Lovett, chairman Of the committee
on cooperation of the Red Cross; John
Moffat. executive secretary of the
council, and C. A. Coffin, chairman of
the War Relief Clearing House.
The suggestion TO which all parties
agreed was put in these words by Mr..
Moffat:
THAT the Red Cross shall, if posi-
bic, complete negotiations for affilia-
tion with certain of the Allied organ
izations, such as the American Fund
for French Wounded and the National
Surgical Dressings Committee, the work
Of which is mainly the production Of
SupPiiSS VI hOSplIdl character, Otner
organizations whose work consists
more largely of raising funds for re-
lief shall remain affiliated with the
Federal Council of Allied War Chari-
ties, but will not be directly affiliated
with the American Red Cross.
The Federal Council of Allied War
Charities will advise its affiliated .r-
ganizations that in view Of the present
shipping situation it is in many cases
better to contribute cash than supplies,
and where possible it will encourage
the policy Of contributing cash on this
side with which supplies may be pur-
chased in Europe for relief work
there"
Dir. Moffat and Clyde A. Pratt. secre-
tary OF the clearing house, will prepare
a list of supplies. which the affiliated
charities, individually, are desirous of
sending to Europe. The Red Cross
will examine this list and will inform
the council what articles it will he

consignees designated
