CHICAGO RACE WAR.

CHICAGO, July 31.-Race war ter
ror and bloodshed had abated here to-
night after four days and nights of
rioting, but sporadic violence con-
tinued, notwithstanding a force Of
$500 state troops and thousands Of
policemen were on active duty in the
South SIDE negro quarters
Three negroes died today of
wounds, making the official corrected
death list 80, of whom 18 were ne
groes. Only one person was shot to-
day, though a dozen or more members
of both races were wounded in scat
tered minor disturbances.
A crowd Of white men severely
beat a negro in the downtown dis
trict tonight There was no shooting
by troops, who were ordered to patrol
the streets last night by Gov. Low
den, on the request of Mayor ThOmp-
son.
The negroes were comparatively
quiet tonight, the presence of the
troops apparently having Gained
them as well as having had a salu-
tary effect on disturbing elements
among both whites and blacks.

the program.

undoubtedly prove an inspiration to
this activity in many counties.

the specialists of the extension force
and many visitors, was devoted largely
to discussions and practical demon
STATIONS relating to the great prob
lens now confronting Mississippi agri-

tension force, Assistant Director C.

New HOnOrs for DIR. Blanche Will
Hams, Graduate /. |. and c.
Among the graduates of the Indus
trial Institute and College to whom
have come distinguished honors, and
whose careers, unusual and brilliant,
are reviewed with pride by their
Alma Mater, is DR.. Blanche c. Will
Hams, who has taken a high place in
the educational world as a scholar
and critic of the first rank. Origi-
nally from Kosciusko, Dr. Williams,
after her graduation, went to- New
York where her work attracted i'm
mediate attention at Columbia and
other universities. Later, she became
member Of the Faculty at Columbia,
and as an instructor in the art of
short story writing, she has been
signally successful. Commenting up
on book from her pen, the current
issue of "The Writer'S Monthly" says:
DR.. Blanche Cotton Williams, of
Hunter College and Columbia Uni
versity, has in recent years come to
the fore as one of the soundest critics
of and instructors in the short-story,
The Writer'S Monthly has several
times referred to her excellent writ
ings on the subject, and now we can
attention to "A Book OF Short
Stories" a collection for use in high
schools, complied and edited by Dr.
Williams. While this book has been
arranged for textbook use, it will be
of service to those who wish an in
expensive collection covering the
short-story from the time of Irving
and Poe down to the present. The
thirteen specimens that are given,
with helpful introduction and COM
ments, are adequately representative
of the growth of the short-story idea.
The WOman's Club Leases the Brad
ford Place.
In selecting for its home the beau
tifuI Bradford place on South Market
street, the Woman's Club makes an
exceedingly happy choice, and takes
its initial, and very definite step to-
ward success. The property, with its
wide verandas, spacious rooms, and
admirable interior arrangement. is
perfectly suited to club purposes; its
location could not be better
At meeting at the Hotel Gilmer
Thursday morning, the Club unani-
mously decided upon a three-year
lease, and Mr.. Owen, with a pleasing
response to plans, will at once begin
work looking to the Clubs occupancy
in October. The lessor will still have
charge of the grounds which speaks
at once of the beauty and care that
will mark their supervision.
Many features of the new organi-
zation viii be distinctive and develop
ing Plans are still necessarily very
much in embryo, but when one learns
thath there will be a circulating lib
rary, tea room, that later,a lyceum
course is hoped for, one gains some
ida Of the ambitious tread of thought
and aims. Nor will the gayer part be
overlooked. In fact, there will be q
concerted enthusiastic effort to meet
the many-sided faces Of social life.
Columbus and the group Of capable
women who have worked whole-hesrt-
edly for the undertaking are to be
congratulated.
