that section for four nights was pro-
nounced by state and city officials cat
an end" today. The total of the dead
since the fighting began Sunday is
thirty-two, fourteen whites and eight
cen negroes. The injured have not
been officially tabulated, but it is
known that more than 300 were in
jured and the total may reach 500.
AS many more slightly hurt went to

Chicago, Aug. Race war terror
ard bloodshed abated here last night
after four days and nights of rioting,
but sporadic violence continued, not
withstanding that force of $500
state troops and thousands of police
men were on active duty in the south
side negro quarter.
Three negroes died yesterday of
wounds, making the official corrected
death list thirty-two, of whom eight
cen were negroes. Only one person
was shot yesterday, though a dozen or
more members of both races were
wounded in scattered minor disturb
ances.

request of Mayor Thompson.
The negroes were comparatively
quiet, the presence of the troops ap-
parently having calmed them as we'll
as having had salutary effect on
disturbing elements among both
whites and negroes.
Food supplies were sent into the
negro sections yesterday by coopera-
tion of the Wholesale Grocers Asso-
citation, the police and the troops. The
"black belt" remained a barred zone
where white persons might not enter
and even the guarded trucks of groc-
cries were driven only to the "dead
line" by white chauffeurs who then
were relieved by negro drivers under
police escort.
Many of the poorer negroes were
reported in dire need of food and
without funds. Yesterday was pay
day at the stock yards but many ne
groes feared to go there to draw their
wages.
Among yesterdays disorders few
involved any considerable number of
persons. Several hundred whites in
search of four negroes who had hid

ROME, Tuesday, Oct. much ex-

caused by reported receipts of warn
ing from Great Britain and the
United States to Italy with regard to
the situation at Fiume. 1t is declar-
- that the warning from England
tated in effect that if the present il
legal situation at Fiume should con-
tinue Italy would run the risk OF
being put out of the alliance and the
peace conference and that it was re-
ceived few days after similar
warning from the United States.
The Triouna, one Of the leading
commentators, declares that Italy is
not alone responsible for the Fiume
situation and incidentally attacks
what it calls the preponderence OF
President Wilson in the peace con-
ference and the alleged inability or
unwillingness of the Allies to limit it.
President Wilson, says the news
paper, although a high parsonage, is
not exempt from human weakness as
is proved by his present grave ner-

GLADE DISTRICT
HAS TRAGEDY
SUNDAY
Cleveland Biller Killed Sunday when
Struck by His Nephew. Gordon
Philips
ASSAILANT HELD FOR GRAND
JURY WITHOUT BAIL

What started in fun as q friendly
scuffie ended in tragedy Sunday at
the home of Coleman Biller in Glade
District, when Gordon Phillips, aged
20, lost his temper and struck his
uncle, Cleveland Biller, aged SO, a
blow which broke his neck causing
almost instant death.
Mr. Biller accompanied by his wife
and three children, Mr.. and Mrs. d.
w. Polling, Sunday A. NJ, motored
from EllSins to his former home to
picnic, gather chestnuts and visit the
home folks The party enjoyed pic
mic dinner in the chestnut orchard,
after which young Phillips, who is d
son OF Biller's sister, Mrs. r. W..
Phillips, engaged in wrestling with
Biller. There was number Of falls
after each one Phillips would ask his
uncle if he would give up, and his
reply being mo-, they would go into
the scuffie again. Probably both
mems tempers being little bit
strained. In their final scuffle they
rolled under a wire fence into an adj
joining field where the same question
was asked by Phillips and Biller's
reply was the same emphatic mo" at
which time bystanders allege that the
boy became enraged and struck his
uncle violent blow which felled him
to the grounl in heap All efforts
to revive him were in vain. The man
was dead.
Squire Lloyd J. Booth and Constable
Arthur Sinsel were summoned and took
young Phillips in charge, apparently
much under the influence Of some sort
of Intoxicating beverage, which in all
probability was largely responsible
for the crime.
At hearing Monday morning it Is
said young Phillips claimed to know
nothing about what had occurred and
was remanded to Philippi jail with
out bail to await the action by the
Grand Jury.
