j. 5. TROOPS ARE
NEEDED IN SIBERIA
VITAL ELEMENT IN MAlNTEN-
ANCE OF RAIL TRAFFIC AND
PREVENTION OF RIOTS.
President Wilson Replies at Length
to the Resolution Proposed by
Senator johnson of California
Recently Adopted.

Northumberland Wilson in
formed the senate Friday, in response
to resolution by Senator Johnson of
California, that the presence of Amer
lean troops in Siberia was IL vital
element" in the restoration and main
tenance of traffic on the Siberian rail
road and that under the agreement
with Japan they could be withdrawn
only when the American railway ex-
perts operating the road were with
drawn.
The president said Siberia could be
protected from a further period of
chaos and anarchy only by keeping
the railroad open. and that, lacking
the prime essentials of life, the people
there were looking to the United
States and the allies for economic as
sistance. This already is being ex-
tended and additional supplies are to
be sent forward.
Rowing bands having no connection
with any organized government in Rus
STA are menacing the railroad, the
president said, and, consequently, pro-
lection by the military Is necessary.
American troops, he said, now are en-
gagged in guard duty at Vladivostok
and around Verchne Udinsk. A small
body also is at Hardin.
The original purposes of the Ameri-
can military expedition, Mr.. Wilson
wrote, were twofold: The saving Of
the Czecho-Slovak forces and the
steadying of the efforts of the Rus
slams at self-defense or the establish
ment of law and order In which they
might be willing to accept assistance
Major General Graves, commanding
the expedition of 5000 men, was spe-
officially directed not to interfere in
Russian affairs, the president said
but to support wherever necessary

CHICAGO SCENE OF
FIERCE RACE RIOTS
POLICE UNABLE TO ESTIMATE
NUMBER OF CASUALTIES
RUMORS SPREAD.
One Man Shot and Killed and Another
Seriously Wounded in Strike Riot
OH the Southwest Side of
the City.

Chicago.-Two whites and q colored
proXimately fifty are said to have been
injured, a number probably fatally,
when race rioting broke out Sunday
among white and negro bathers along
South Side beaches, from Twenty-ninth
street south to Thirty-fifth street.
The confusion was so great in the
district that the police were unable to
place an estimate either on the dead or
wounded. Acting Chief of Police Al
cock received a report that three ne
groes and two whites had been killed
Another rumor was to the effect that
several hundred were drowned in the
lake during the rioting.
Blacks and whites swarmed through
the South Side black belt, and rioting
spread throughout much of the district.
Police reserves and detectives from all
stations in the city were rushed to the
scene. Special calls to the stations
and hospitals for ambulances also were
sent by Chief AlcOck.
James O'Brien, policeman attached
to the Cottage Grove station, was at
tackled by mob of negroes at Twenty
ninth and State streets. Several shots
were fired at him, and he was wound
ed in the arm. He pulled his revolver
on the surging mass, and fired several
times into the crowd. The crowd scat
tered, leaving three blacks moaning
on the pavement.

ADMITS CHILD'S MURDER.
Body of Missing Six-year-oId Girl Hid
den in Coal Pile.

Chicago. - Thomas Fitzgerald, 80
years old, and married, confessed Sun
day to the police that he killed little
Janet Wilkinson, six years old, neigh
boris child, last Tuesday by strangling
her. He accompanied the police to
his home and showed them where he
had concealed the body beneath some
coal under the basement steps, and it
was recovered.
The solution of the mystery, which
has stirred Chicago as few police cases
have aroused the populace, came this
morning when Fitzgerald after five
sleepless days and nights, constantly
kept under a grueling examination and
never-ceasing scrutiny, called for an
officer and made his confession.
The authorities acted quickly. AL
though Fitzgerald has been termed
moron" by the police, the criminal
machinery was to proceed as usual.
Coroner Hoffman quickly selected
jury and opened the inquest.
Fitzgerald was an employee at the
Virginia, residential hotel. He lived
in the neighborhood. In the same
building lived the Wilkinson family.
Janet was one of four children.

TWO ARE MURDERED
IN JACKSON HOLE
JOHN HENRY WlNSLOW, JR., AND
BROTHER, RUBEN, ARE MUIR
DERED IN WYOMING.
Neighboring Landowner, Said to Have
Threatened Victoms, Is Held Wait
ing Development.-Trou over
Property Possible Cause.

Ogden. Utah.-The charred bodies of
John Henry Winslow, Jr., and his
brother, Ruben Winslow, were found
in the smoudering ruins of the cabin
on the Winslow ranch in the Jackson
Hole country, Wyoming, by ranchers
returning july from an Independence
Day celebration, according to word re-
ceived in Ogden Friday. Sheriff Oak
ley of Kemmrrer was called, and an
examination ef the bodies disclosed
bullet holes in the backs and breasts
William Sewell, neighboring rancher,
who is said to have made deadly
threats to the Winslow brothers, was
arrested and is confined in the KEN
merer prison, awaiting investigation.
The bodies of the victims were remov-
ed TO Wilson, where I'M -frrrIs-stt W as
held. The. murdered men were the
sons of the late John Henry Winslow,
Sr., of Ogden canyon.
The Winslow brothers were last seen
alive on July by friends going to the
Fourth of July celebration. When
found on the morning of the fifth the
bodies were so completely burned that
recognition was impossible, and identl-
fication was effected only because in
the trousers pockets that were next to
the ground, and thus escaped burning,
were found articles known to have
been carried by the murdered men.
Bullet holes in the backs and breasts
gave evidence that the victims were
attacked from behind. 1t Is presumed
by those who made the investigation
that the men were shot down without
warning, their bodies dragged into the
cabin and the building set fire. The
murderer evidently chose July 4 for
the crime, as on that date most of the
ranchers were in town celebrating.
The fact that the Winslow brothers
had made filings upon the most desir.
able land in that section of the coun
try, and had not yet proved up on IL
is suggested as a motive for the crime
