Armed Soldiers Idle.
 Chicago, July 30-Bitter fighting between whites and !. negroes spread last night to all
 parts of Chicago, the serious casualties being more numer- ous than at any similar period in the racial war. The city au- thorities made no call for troops and in the absence of such request Governor Frank Q. Lowden could not order The soldiers to take charge, al- though with the arrival today of two more regiments, 5000 well armed men were resting on their arms.
 While the state soldiers completed two dny,s' work of polishing bayonets and filling cartridge clips, the death list mounted to 27. An incorrect po- hcc report last night had sent it higher. but investis sa Ction showed that no one had been killed In a spec tacular automobtle crash and race fight at sath and State streets. The authentic deaths in last nights fight ing were two. both negroes. One was killed in the Italian 6istrtct of the west side and Ira Henry. 40. was shot dead when he wounded one of two policemen who sought to search him for weapons at Ffftieth and State streets.
 In other instances, whites and blacks slnahed each other with knives, shot from ambush or ran down isolat- ed members of the other race and beat them into insensfbilty. There was some footing of abandoned resi- Enenccs and stores in the south side black belt and q number of small fires were ascribed to incendiartsm.
 southern part of the state, and the Tenth. from central Illinois, rushed
 toward Chicago today to add their rifles and machine guns to the po- tcntlai army already here.
 The police strove to clear the riot CTS from the South Side negro quar-
 ter and early last night apparently succeeded. only to find that the mob
 spirit had spread to other regions.
 On the West Side whites attacked
 negroes. and in one case partly
 burned the corpse of q victim with
 gasoiine On the North Side fighting
 proceeded for several hours, and in
 the residential districts known as
 woodlawn and EnElewood on the far
 South Side fierce fighting took place.
 As the overworked police force
 dashed Co those quarters. several
 
 smolderinE flames of anarchy burst
 forth anew in the Black Belt. A pa-
 trof wagon crashed into an automo-
 bile n!led with men and a fight fol-
 lowed that caused the probable fatal
 injury of three men and the wound
 ing of several others. The woundd
 were taken to Providence hospital,
 n negro institution, and crowd of
 whites attacked the infrmary. caus-
 ing considerable damage.
 During tho rest of tho night out
 breaks occurred. and although only
 one fatality was reported from tho
 nights orry of hatred. the number
 of severely hurt was greater than
 for Monday night, probably a dozen saCcrlnE fatal hurts.
 The whites again seemed to be the
 more aggressive, tho negroes having
 been converted to peace by saner
 members of their race, or cowed by
 the bcatinEs sustained by scores. Sleeping car portcrs accepted an of
 fer of tho company to house them rather than go home, and the jazz band concert at the municipal pier was called off because the negro mu- stcinua refused to perform.
 owing to the street car strike the com Daratively few white rioters in the total population could not so handily get together Inst night. and no large mobs invaded the black belt Ii was mostly guerilla warfare, but exceed ingly bitter. Tn some cases men would lie hidden along a boulevard and fire on passing cars occupied by |i members of the opposite race. In others a few whites would assault a building owned by negroes in the midst of n white nelghborhood, draS. ging forth q victim to a beating. Tho car strike also helped the ne ( Erocs. os a favorite form of attack or the first night of the disorder was tc enter n street car and drag a negro from the vehicle to the street where he was mlimed killed.
 The police have collected a verita- p!o oF8cnal of weapons since the riot. II, ing Every hour score or more o4 negroes are hustled into police >>ta- tons and deprived of revolyerrs. Gag- gers and razors. Eai+---rfns and ann |. muniton still ss.ss-cG to be plentiful. To rtart tue third day of warfare Patrolman Walter Sullivan was shot probably fatally. by a negro whom Inc |. was searching In vacant lot A Sullivan fell. his partner. John Real shot tho negro dead. During the night 15 other policemen were hit bJ |s bullets and one or two may die. According to police figures. 15 ne Broes and IF whites have been killed since the r1oting began.
 |s Adtutant General Dickson, afte making a tour of the danger Szon, early today. reported the situation much improved compared with yes terday. He said the most serious sit uation confronting the police is in tn, ]. Stock Yard District.
 One more victim was added to th toll of deaths caused by injuries re |s ceived in the race riots. Berger cd man, white, 21 years old an employ of the Chicago Transport Company |s was shot fin the abdomen in a figh
 with negroes last night. dying thi morning.
