NEW YORK. Dec. 23.-Thousands of uninvited children, for whom no gifts were provided, crowded their way into the Seventy first regiment armory tonight and threw New York's largest children's Christmas festival into a riot. During the height of the uproar, 14,000 youngsters were in a mad scramble for their share of presents. which were stacked upon tables for distribution to 1000 needy 'kiddies'' who had been invited.
 Police reserves, aided by the armory detail of soldiers, were unable to check the wild on-rush. Several women tainted and scores of children were bowled over as the youngsters rushed about the floor.
 No semblance of order was obtained until thousands of the youngsters had been rushed into the street. Less than 50 per cent of them managed to get gift package in the melee.

NEW YORK. July 30,-Evidence Is
acumulating in the files of the govern
ment to show that the negroes Of this
country are the object of a vicious and
apparently we'll financed propaganda,
which is directed against the white
people, and which seeks, by news
papers. pamphlets and in other ways
to stir up discomfort among the ne
groes, particularly the uneducated
class in the southern states, says the
Times. Documents in possession of
the authorities show that among the
radical organizations active in this
propaganda are the I. w. W.. certain
factions of the radical Socialist ele-
ments and Bolshevists.
A federal official exhibited to the
Times q few days ago recent copy
Of a negro magazine which Is said to
have large circulation in sections
where there are considerable negro
populations. The magazine was illus
trated, and Is printed on the finest of
news-print paper. 1t contained sew
eral articles in which the negroes
were urged to Join the I. w. w. and
the left wing Socialist organizations.
To Build New Society.
In one article, the author Of which
was said to be a widely known negro
writer, the negroes were urged to
form an alliance with the I. w. W.,
the Socialists and the Nonpartisan
League, to build new society OF
equals, without class. race, caste, OF
religious distinctions"
In the same publication was another
article. captioned "The March OF

read:
Still it continues. The cosmic tread
of Soviet government, with ceaseless
step, claims another nation. Russia

MANY DIPTHER|A
CASES IN CITY

An unusual number of cases of
diptheria are prevalent in Richmond
and the surrounding country. says DR..
J. II. Kinsey, city health officer. Be
tween 35 and forty cases have been
reported, and cards warning persons
away from the house have been placed
for every case as fast as discovered.
No reason could be assigned by DR..
Kinsey for the unusual prevalence of
the disease, although he said that
Newcastle, Muncie. Anderson, West
Alexandria and other nearby towns
have also had many cases. Only one
death has resulted so far. that of
Elmer s. Hance.
DR.. Kinsey said that cards had been
placed for every case so far as he
knew Of them, but that If any case
was known which was not quarantined
he asked that persons call and tell
him Of the case.
Aside from diptheria, the-disease sit
uation in the city is unusually good, he
said.
