VIOLENCE DIES Down
(By Associated Press)


WASHINGTON, July 23.-Although
there was sporadic firing of firearms
in some of the negro districts until
early this morning the major casual
ties in last nights clashes between
whites and negroes consisted of only
one white man killed and another pro-
badly fatally wounded. Scores were
injured in varying degrees as a re-
suit Of blows of fists, clubs and
stones and the welding of knives, but
in none of these cases were the
wounds expected to be fatal.
The man killed last night, Isaac B.
Halbfnger and the seriously wounded
man was Benjamin Belmont, both
members Of the defense guard and
who were shot down on the street
by a negro while doing duty in one
of the black districts.
Despite the fact the capital was an
armed camp. the fourth night Of the
race warfare was less violent than
Monday, when four persons were kill
ed outright, and nearly a dozen seri-
ously hurt. Feeling, which was in
famed by reported attacks upon
whites by negroes, throughout the day
was no less bitter but an all night
rain and the presence of 1000 heavily
armed soldiers, marines and sailors
doing duty with the 700 police and
several hundred home defense guards
acted as a deterrant upon any at
tempt at organized mob violence.
Public Places Closed
The closing of pool rooms, moving
picture houses and other places where
fcrowds of negroes might be expected
to gather and the policy of the police
and military to keep everybody mov-
ing enabled the authorities to keep
the situation we'll in hand.
Following conference between Sec
retary Baker and President Wilson,
late yesterday a force Of about 1000
troops under the command Of Major
General w. G. Haan, recently returned
from overseas service, was ordered to
Washington from Camp Meade and
other nearby posts.
This force is expected to remain
on duty until the wave of lawlessness
has burned and normal conditions re-
stored.

Mr.. Griffith would teach US that after
all we have only learned to live when
we recognize the fact all men are
brothers. To teach his lesson he uses
the great war as the leveler.
Have you ever read 1.-The Magnifi-'

sufferable, supercilious, conceited
youth as the George of the story.
Strangely enough he falls in love with

create comedy. The main strength is
in the realism and INSTALLATION of SEN

delightful. The supporting cast is ex-

PAY TAXES BY MARCH IS
Income and Excess Profits Revenue Is
Needed by Government.

That there will be no general ex-
tension of time beyond March Is for
the filing of returns and for the pay
ment of income and excess profits
taxes due on that date, is the decision
of Daniel c. Roper, commissioner of
internal revenue. The announcement
was made today by Collector w. H. L.
Pepperen, Immediately following the
approval by the senate and house of
the report of the conferees on the new
revenue bill.
1T is necessary to get the initial tax
payments in by March 49, says Com
missioner Roper. mo other course is
possible. Some months ago the treas
ury issued certificates of Indebtedness
to an amount approXimating $500, 000,-
600, maturing March Is. The first
payment of the income and excess
profits taxes for 1918 was planned for
that date, to meet this huge obliga-
ton.
THE American people have proven
that there is no emergency too great
to be met and solved by cooperation
This present situation is another
emergency which can be overcome by
cooperative effort The bureau ex-
tends its every force toward this end,
and I am relying upon the people to
meet the situation whole-heartedly.
Every taxpayer who can possibly
do so is urged to make full payment
of his income tax on or before March

ing of the tax at one time would tend
to upset local financial conditions.
The bureau has arranged to send
an advisory force of several thousand
of deputies and agents to assist tax
payers. These officers will be sta
toned at convenient points where they
may be consulted without charge.
Taxpayers should take the initiative
and get in touch with these revenue
men for any needed advice and assis-
