NEGRO RIOTERS GET
 DEATH SENTENCES
JURY LOSES NO TIME IN CON- VtcT!NG ALLEGED PRINCIPALS
 IN ELAINE UPRISING.

Helena, Ark-Six negroes were condemned to death in the electric chair here before Circuit Judge lima son M. Jackson, for their activities in the race riots at Elaine, in the south ern part of Phillips county, early in October It took tbe jury eight min utes to return verdict against Frank Hicks, charged with the mur. der of Clinton Lee. a citizen of Hele- na, near Hoop Spur on the morning C.. October 1. Hicks was found guilty as charged in the indictment" the verdict automatically sending him to the electric chair.
 But that record was broken in the gathering afternoon darkness when a jury retired at 5:22 to decide the fate of five other negroes, charged with the murder of Lee. Seven minutes later they returned a verdict finding the defendants guilty, sending them t. the electric chair The negroes convicted in the last case were Ed Hicks, brother of Frank Hicks, presi- dent of the Elaine Lodge of the Pro gressive Farmers and Householders' T'nion of America"; J. E. Knox, vice president of the Elaine lodge; FarnR Moore. Ed Coleman and Paul Moore State officials believe that by convic- ton of the quintet they settled the fate of the leaders in the Elaine in eurreetion.
 The five negroes convicted were held on one indictment charging ttem with complicity in the murder and alleged that they aided and abet- ted in the crime. The shot which killed Lee was fired by Frank Hicks the first negro convicted.

PRESIDENT REPORTED TO BE DETERMINED TO END GOVERN
 MENT CONTROL VERY SOON.
CONGRESS- Is LAYING PLANS
Some Members of House Doubt if Legislation Can Be Passed in Time To R@turn Reads
 As Anticipated.

Washington. - A new program to deal with the railroad situation has been arranged tentatively by con gressionaf leaders It involves proba- lie passage Of temporary emergency legislation to protact railroad and pubic interests, should the carriers be returned by the president to pri- yate control on January 1, as Ms. Wilson has announced his intention.
 Although House leaders plan to press permanent railroad legislation on their side of the capitol, the Sen ate Interstate Commerce Committee, at a special meeting, agreed that final enactment by Congress of the perna- rent legislation fore January 1 practically was hopeless, and steps were taken toward passing a tempo rqry bill continuing the railroads federal compensation until the final legislation is completed
 Trans Ger of the railroads from government to private control Janu- ary 1, the leaders were advised, has been de ided cn finally and unaIter- ably by President Wilson and DIrec- tor General Hines. Senate and House leade s, in co~ feranca, agreed that every effort should be made by Con- sress to enact the permanent legisra- ton before January 1, but with almost certain prospects of failure, the Sen- ate leaders arranged to care for the situation by cheating the temporary legislation, probably in December.

 The evidence given by Poole will be followed up, to fix the responsi- bility for the suffering of the men. ac. cording to Chairman John c. MeKen. zie and Chief Examiner Roscoe C McCulloch of the committee.
 While sick soldiers were ninebed and actually blue tc their finger tins with the bitter cold, steamfitters sun. posedly equipp'ng the hospital wards with steam neat, were gambling and warming themselves over their gaso. line torches, Poole told the commit. tee. He asserted that the weather was so cold the nurses wore their furg when they tended the sick and the doctors wore their sheepskin lined coats, while the patients had nc heat whatever.
 Games of chance were worked among the men, the witness declared. Two or tbree days every week some body would come around and have the men buy chances on automobiles, wrist watches and other things. he said.
 That was graft worked by some body" he declared
 Other witnesses, corroboFating Poole's testimony as to the idling of the men and the wastage of material generally agreed that the work could have been done more satisfactorily and in quicker time by from two. thirds to one-half the number of men on given job Taylor Thornburg, Chillicothe laborer, told the com mittee that his foreman told his gang tc 'hide in the coInfield" and that fl om IS 10 20 of tnem spent from week to 10 days in the corn.

WOULD ABOLISH
 MILITIA UNITS
PERSHiNG TELLS COMMITTEE HE WOULD RATHER SEE RE-
 SERVES ORGANIZED.

Washington. - Recreation of the National Guard as maintained by the states and substitution of reserve CEjts organized by the federal gov erEment was recommended by Gen eral Pershing before the joint com. r1ittees on military affairs of the Senate and House.
 Elaborating on his suggestion for the organization of reserve units, General Pershing, in response Q questions, made it plain that under his scheme the present National Guard would be done away with al. though the personnel and names of f@e regiments could remain the same and local traditions maintained.
 Senator Wadsworth of New York. chairman of the Senate committee, pressed General Pershing for a def- nite statement of his views on the subject of the National Guard.
 The question seems to be whetb- CT we shall maintain a reserve mi litia under the clause of the consti. tltion authorizing the raising of ar. mics or under the militia clause. . said Senator Wadswroth. (Which do you favor?''
 T should prefer to see it done un, Ger the army clause" responded Gen eral Pershing.
 Many states have organizations with old records Of which they are very proud" continued Senator Wadsworth. Do you believe that local pride can be nurtured in the same way by taking the same regi- nents that have been maintained un- Ger the militia clause and putting them bodily under tie army clause?
 T can see no reason for oppost- tson," replied General Pershing. q think the federal government woulI be very glad to accept the use of all facilities now made available for the guard by the states
 General Pershing again emohasiz- ed question of an increase in pay for aTmy officers and enlisted men: Tn talking this over with officers I learn that many of ,hem are living q hand to mouth existence" said Gen cral Pershing.
