WORST DISORDER SINCE
CIVIL WAR DAYS SITRS
THE NATIONAL CAPITAL
NO POWER EXISTS
TO CARRY OUT TREATY
Is Reply to Senate Foreign Relations
Committee to Pres. Wilson Asking for
Appointment of American on the
Reparations Committee.

Washington, D. c., July 22.-ln re-
sponse to President Wilson's request that
it approve provisional appointment of an
American representative on the repara-
tions commission to be created under the
peace treaty, the Senate foreign relations
committee to-day adopted a declaration
that until the treaty is ratified mo pow
er exists to carry out its provisions
The declaration in the form of a reso-
luton by Senator Knox, Republican
Pennsylvania was adopted without a
record vote, though the committee pre-.
viously had divided eight to seven in ia
vor of substituting the Knox proposal
for one which would have left open the
question of the presidents authority. In
this vote Senator McCumber, Republican
North Dakota, joined the Democrats in
the negative.
A motion by Senator Hitchcock, Demo.
crat, Nebraska, to add later a declara
tion of the presidents power to act was
lost nine to six, Senator McCumber vot-
ing with the Republicans. Senator Knox
resolution follows:
THAT it is the Judgment of the com
mittee that until the proposed treaty is
ratified, in accordance with its terms nc
power exists to execute any of its pro
visions, either Professionally or other.

Under the treaty the reparations com.
mission would have wide powers in fixing
the reparation to be demanded of Ger.
many and the president had written the
committee that he considered it impor.
tant to American business interests that
the United States be represented.
After it had adopted Senator Knox
resolution the committee resumed its
preliminary reading of the treaty text
Debate on the treaty in the Senate
was resumed with an address by Senator
McNary, Republican, Oregon, who urged
that the league of nations covenant be
accepted without any such amendments
or reservations as would "alter the splen.
did purposes of the covenant"
Senator McNary was followed by Sen.
ator johnson, Democrat, North Dakota
who declared the United States, by re.
fusing to Join the league of nations, not
only would endanger its own safety. but
would break faith with its associates in
the war.
"Our commerce extends to the limits
of the entire globe" said Senator John
son. Have you ever considered the DO.
sition of danger we would be in if the
great commercial nations enter this
league and we remain aloof? Why should
we not be regarded with enmity and
suspicious Our great commercial inter
ests, rich lands, favored geographical po.
sition would soon place us in perilous
position of standing alone. The time
might come when there would be vast
combination against us to refill Their
treasures and discharge their debts"
Opponents of the league have made
Misrepresentation Senator Johnson de
clared. It's provisions, he ssid, are "rea
sonably clear and plain" and generally
satisfactory, although, he added, vir.

NEGRO DESPERADOES
SPREADING TERROR
They Shot from Street Cars
and Scurrying Automo-
biles-Meanwhile the At
tacks on White Women,
the Cause of the Outbreak,
Are Continuing.

Washington, D. c., July 22.-Another
night of race rioting found tho national
capital to-day counting the largest cas-
ualty list it has had since soldiers, sail
ors, marines and civilians began retail
ating on the negro plantation for the
long list of daylight holdups and at
tacks on white women which has alarmed
the city.
-Four known dead, two mortally
wounded, eight or more seriously hurt,
an unknown number slightly wounded
or injured in the fighting, and police
stations and hospitals packed with 9TH
ers, are the results of the most disor-
derly times the natiopal capital has ex-
perienced probably since the Civil war.
Although reinforced with provost
guards of troops and squadrons of cav
airy patrolling Pennsylvania avenue, the
police apparently were as unable to cope
with the situation as they were when
during the demonstration of March 3,
1903, when the crowd completely over
ran them and all but mobbed the suf-
frgists parading on Pennsylvania ave
nue..
The score of casualties ig last nights
fighting was largely in favor of the ne
groes, who, when the extra strong cor
don of police and troops quieted Penn
sylyania avenue and the downtown Sec
tion, transferred their activities to the
lesser guarded districts.
From trolley cars and swiftly moving
automobiles negro desperadoes in parties
singly and in pairs ranged revolver shots
into groups of whites whenever they
found them, and all night there was
scattered firing from houses in which ne
groes, terror stricken. but not quellcd
had barricaded themselves
To-day the local authorities are CON
ferring with war department officials on
measures to stop the rioting. Sugges-
tions are being made that troops be
brought in to thoroughly guard the city
which the police maintain they are un-
able to do because of insufficient mum
bers.
Another Assault on White Woman.
The first police report of the day told
Of another while woman assaulted and in.
iured by negro at Capitol Heights, a
suburb to the northeast of the city. The
negro, who had loitered about the WON
ans house all yesterday, was first scared
away, and then hiding behind hedge
seized her as she had passed by late
last night. The woman was practically
dsrobed in her struggles with her assail
ant, who escaped after she had scratched
and bitten him badly.
This was the seventh attack on whit,
women by negro men in and near The
District of Columbia within two weeks
In statement to-day, the board Of
commissioners, the governing authority
Of the District of Columbia, said that al
no time last night was the situation be
yond control of authorities and that will

of citizens, the police would remain il

Liberty Bonds. However, you've
made your sacrifice, the wars over
now--and really four and one-quar-
ter percent is no return at all in
peace timcs--let us exchange your
bonds for this exceptional offering
positively guaranteed to bring in any
where from 10 to 500 per cent in
dividends before the years out-as
soon as the oil well is sunk, or the
mine shaft completed, or the pro-
perty developed, or the like.

Liberty Bonds in exchange" for this

Happily there is a government
agency today on the trail of the stock
sharp. 1t is the Federal Trade Com
mission, empowered by congress to
prevent unfair methods of competf-
ton in interstate commerce. The
commission may well be expected to
look upon the Fleeing of Americans
of their Liberty Bonds as decidedly
unfair"
If you own a Liberty Bond you'll
doubtless have an early call from
one of the pleasant representatives
of the sharper outfit. When you do,
just drop postal to the Federal
Trade Commission at Washington
and tell them about that visit and
send them the attractive literature
that is handed you, together with the
name and home address OF the
salesman" Or, send it in to this
paper and we will forward it to
Uncle Sans men.
1t would be interesting to know
how much of the $50O,0O0,000 a
year filters out of the Northwest to
the detriment of our banks, our mer-
chants and our legitimate business
development. Also, how many of us
are on the Sucker List.
Let's keep our loose change at

DID YOU MEAN 1T?

Liberal support of the Victory loan
by every loyal citizen is dictated both
by patriotism and business common
sense.
Our boys finished up the fighting
which was their part of the job, with
rush and were still pressing eager
ly forward when the armistice went
into effect. We ought to emulate
their example by subscribing our
share of this last war loan promptly
and cheerfully. This is our part of
the job. There are hundreds of thou
sands of our boys still in France.
They must be fed and clothed and
housed and the cost of this is heavy.
They must be brought home as soon
as possible. They can neither swim
nor fly back to this country and
ships are scarce. 1t costs money to
provide the ships and the govern
ment is asking us to loan the money
required to care for and bring home
our gallant sons. They invested their
lives in victory and have a right to
expect that we will invest our dol
lars
II the people refuse to loan the
money which the government needs
to wind up its war obligations, then
the government will take it in the
form of taxes. Having conscripted
the lives of its young men, it will
not hesitate to conscript the dollars
of its citizens, Which would you
rather have--Uncle Sans tax re-
ceipts or Uncle Sans bonds?
Gather up all the tax receipts you
have ever received, and what will
they bring on the market? Not a red
cent. What are your government
bonds worth? A little below par
now, but with the last big loan out
OF the way the supply of bonds for
sale below par will soon be exhaust
ed and the big moneyed interests,
which are reaping rich harvest at
the expense of the weak holders who
are throwing their bonds on the mar
ket at present prices, will be forced
TO buy them at a premium, because
they must have these securities.
which constitute the safest invest
ment on earth.
When the news of the signing OF
the armistice reached this commun-
lty everybody went crazy with en-
thusiasm and expressed their Joy and
gratitude in wild celebrations
Did you mean it? Was your en-.
thusiasm and gratitude no deeper
than could be expressed in nois,

GET OFF THE SUCKER LIST

Are you on the sucker list?
If you are it is probably because
you are not sucker but patriotic
citizen who has known the Liberty
Bond to be a good thing
Get-rick-quick swindlers have been
the great American sport for years.
The sharpers who sell fake stocks
saw their game endangered when
Uncle Sam started his great Liberty
Loan campaigns.
But they are smart-these gentle
men who live by their wits.
Instead of complaining they
jumped in and put themselves and
all their employees to work trading
their fake stuff for Liberty Bonds.
If you have Liberty Bond. or a
book of War Savings Stamps you are
prospect for fake stock. Your
name is probably on the sucker list
of the oily tongued sharper because
over 20 million patriots bought Lii
berty Bonds.
You are not to blame for being
on the sucker list but it is up to you
to get off-away off that list at
your first opportunity.
The American people are paying
out some half billion dollars a year
to the support of worthless stock
schemes. The people reap therefrom
$500, 100000 worth of thin air.
That is not wild guess. 1t is
the estimate given by the Capital
Issues committee of the U. S. Trea-
sury. And the committee assures
us that it is conservative.
Moreover, the half billion repre-
sents just the cold cash that is turned
in every year by otherwise level
headed Americans seeking a milk
ahd-honey path to quick wealth by
the fake stock certificate route. 1t
does not take into account the vast
j economic loss incident to broken for
tunes impaired effort of discouraged
investors and to the diversion from
legitimate business enterprise of new
productive capital.
The Capital Issues committee
charged with keeping the nations in
Yestment dollars on work-or-fight
basis during the war, has made a
searching inquiry into the devious
