Even Declares CarranZa an
Enemy to All Civilization.

Washington, July 2S.-Misled in
their investigation of conditions in
Mexico. William Bayard Hale and
Lincoln Steffens in turn misled Presi-
dent Wilson into believing that Presi-
dent Carranza was the peoples
champion" the house rules committee
was told today by William Gates, an
archa eoloEist, of Baltimore. The COM
mittee is holding hearings on a reso-
luton proposing investigation of the
Mexican situation.
Declaring that his opinions were
based on a first hand study of con-
ditions when he toured Mexico in
1917 and 1918, Gates described Car
rama as IAN enemy of his own peo-
pie first, the United States second,
and then all civilization"
The Mexican president. the witness
said, IS more anti-Saxon than anti
American, hopes to set up the sUpre-
macy of the Latin races and desires
to drive American and British CAPT
tai from his country. The American
people are not we'll informed of af-
fairs in Mexico, the witness said, be-
cause American diplomats are able to
talk only to Carranza representatives

GETTING USED TO IT NOW
AirpIaDe Flying in Topeka Doesn't
: Bother Sleeping Porch Fans
+ Any More.

When airplanes were a novelty in
Topeka-oh. about a month or so ago
the early morning flights from
Washburn field made office hours
seem easy to the residents of the
southwestern section of the city
Shortly after 6 o'clock the planes
would arise from the field and soar
over the housetops. The whir of the
engines awakened the natives who
were stretched out on the sleeping
porches and the family heads. from
Mary AIMS touseled curls to daddy's
bald pate peeked out to watch the
flyers.
Now it is different. A few To-
pekans. naturally grouchy and easily
affected by the heat. still complain
of their cool sleeping hours being dis
turbed by II song of the propeller,
out the west side as a whole is assum-
ing a nonchalant air and simply turns
over on the other side when the planes
begin their workout.
Back yards. alleys, streets and
housetops were lined with observers
when the city first became a head
quarters for Kansas flyers. But now
you see residents calmly reading their
newspapers as the immense birds go
swooping above in nose dives and side
slips.
Now, of course, when the fl. ers be-
gin knocking bricks out of chimneys
well. Wen wait and see about that.

RACE WAR.
Sundays Riots in Chicago Re-
sumed This Morning.
Negro Fires at Wagon Load of
White LabOrerS.

Chicago. July 28.-Trouble between,
white men and negroes was renewed in
Chicago's black belt" today when
Moses Thomas, a negro, fired several
shots at a wagon load of white work
men being taken to a southside fac
tory When an attempt was made by
whites to disarm Thomas, a dozen ne
groes rushed to his assistance. The
police quelled the disturbance and re-
ported that nobody had been injured.
Two negroes weree killed and per-
haps fifty or more whites and blacks,
including four policemen, injured Sun
day night.
Accounts of the origin of the trou-
BILE differ, but the version accepted by
the police today is that the fight
started at the Twenty-ninth street
bathing beach where the whites and
colored people are accustomed to swim
in Lake Michigan, altho the two races
are separated by an imaginary line.
This version of the affair says that
negro boy on raft crossed the boun-
dairy line and that white boys threw
stones, knocking the Colored lad into
the water. A general tight developed
between the races and riot calls
brought several hundred police into
the colored district. Negroes asked a
policeman to arrest a white boy and
when he refused, the negroes began
to beat the white lad.
Fight All Over City.
After the police reserves had dis
persed the crowds along State street
and other parts of the city thickly pop
ulated by negroes. whites from other
parts of the city dragged negroes from
street cars and beat them severely in
several instances.
1t is estimated there were close to
10000 negroes in Chicago, nearly
$4,000 of whom were drawn here dur
ing the last three or four years by the
attractive wages in shops and factories
engaged in manufacturing war mater
ials.
Virtually all of the negroes live on
the South Side of the city, and many
have acquired property in desirable
neighborhoods occupied by the whites.
This has led to many minor clashes
between the races, and in a number
OF instances in recent months bombs
nave been exploded in buildings occu-
pied by negroes.

poses to equalize the bill during the
year by placing a maximum demand
charge on the customer, based on his
estimate on the amount of gas to be
used during the year. In this manner
gas bills would be equalized during
the year, with a possible increase
should the customer use more gas
than he estimated would be necessary.
Fix Customers Charge.
In addition, Doherty would fix a
customers charge of approximately Sc
a year on each customer.
This demand charge" he said,
would in reality be- a charge for
readiness to serve the customer, and is
the name of system whereby the op-
Grating and maintenance costs of pro-
Vidfng gas service, not affected by the
amount of gas consumed. but incurred
at an approximately uniform rate
thruout the year, irrespective of the
amount of gas used, shall be borne
by the consumer in proportion to the
greatest amount of gas which the com
pany must be prepared to furnish at
any time"
How Plan Works.
1t was pointed out that as soon as
an agreement is reached, the Doherty
interests pledge themselves to begin

NEGROES BIC DAY
Celebration To Be Held for
Returned Heroes Tuesday.
Triumphant Parade Down Kan
sas Avenue Planned.

Tomorrow is to be a day long re-
membered by the negroes of Topeka.
1t is to be the day of welcome to the
soldiers of the Ninety-second division
and every negro in the city and the
county will be out in full glory to at
tend the homecoming
This event was planned for the ne
gro troopers before their discharge,
but thoughtlessness or carelessness on
the part of a troop train commander
prevented the celebration then. I'm
mediately a committee was organized
to plan for the celebration tomorrow.
The feature of the day will be the
triumphal march of the negro soldiers
on Kansas avenue. Headed by the
famous Twenty-third regiment band of
Prof George Washington Jackson. the
negro fighters will march from the
auditorium to the state house. At the
state house the troops will receive the
official welcome of the state extended
by Gov. Henry j. Allen. From the
state house at the conclusion of Gov
ernor Aliens talk the parade will move
north on Kansas avenue to the south
end of the Melan bridge. At this point
the procession will disband, and the
paraders will take street cars for Gar
field park. where the celebration pic
mic is planned for afternoon and eve-
ming.
1t was announced today that more
than 100 negro soldiers from nearby
towns will be in Topeka to take part
in the parade and in the celebration
at Garfield park.
At o'clock in the afternoon a pic
mic supper will be served the soldiers
by ladies of the Red Cross auxiliary.
And after dinner cigars will be passed
among the men by the Citizens Civic
league. In the evening Col. Charles
Young of Camp Grant will be the prin-
cipal speaker. Colonel Young is a
negro colonel. Is a graduate of West
Point, ard is the only man of his race
to rise to a coloneicy in the American
army.
1t is especially asked that employers
of negroes grant a half holiday to-
morrow afternoon so that the well
come home to the black fighting men
may be as nearly unanimous as pos
sible.
Special souvenir programs for the
celebration in honor of the men of the
Ninety-second division have been pre-
pared by the local office of the war
camp community service. The pro-
grams will be distributed at Garfield
mark
