DELLA SALE INSTITUTE MARKED
FOR DESTRUCTION IN
CHICAGO.
RACE RIOT CO0LS DOWN
KILLED AND sEV-
ERAL HUNDRED HURT, Is
RIOT TOLL.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Chicago, Aug. IA well-defined
plot to blow up De la Sale Institute.
a Catholic institution at Wabash ave-
nue. and Thirty-fifth street, with dyna-
mite and start n series of fires and
bomb outrages that might have led to
a city-wide conflagratiOn, was assert
ed by Mayor Thompson to have been
responsible for his action in calling
out the troops during the race rioting
here. AS evidence of the plot, he
pointed out, the information that came
to the mayor and his aids was to the
effect that attempts would he made to
shut out police and firemen from the
threatened areas. Guy wires removed
from trolley poles were to be stretched
across the streets at height above
the ground where they would sweep
police and firemen responding to
alarms out of their apparatus or We
hicles, It was declared.
The plotters, knowing the trolley
wires carried no current on account
of the street car strike, removed some
guy wires and fixed them across sew
eral streets.
Thus far the race feud that has
killed thirty-two men and beaten.
kicked, stoned, stabbed and shot more
than 800 others, still shoulders.
With 60OO state troops, reinforced
by hundreds of police. patrolling the
riot centers, the district was calm,
with the exception Of disturbances In
the stOckyards region. There the first
serious clash occurred between rioters
and the militia. Other districts which
heretofore have been the center Of
stirring battle scenes were orderly,
but the battle between troops and
white rioters at the yards promised
serious consequences until the soldiers
cowed the mob with bayOnets.
Two companies Of the Third infan-
try, awaiting orders at Garfield bouls-
ward and Winthrop avenue, dispersed
a mob of whites attacking cOlOred res
idents near Garfield boulevard and
Normal avenue shortly before noon.
Two mounted policemen, discovering
whites stoning negro homes and fear
ing arson, galloped down Garfield
boulevard to the soldier post, asking
aid.
The troops piled into motor trucks,
made quick run down the boule7
ward, posted their machine guns and
their lookouts-but the white rioters
had fled.
Machine guns, with their crews
posted and belts filled with ammuni-
ton ready for action, were placed to-
day at four street intersections by Of
ficers and men Of the Eleventh regi-
ment Of reserve militia.
Despite the vigilance of the soldiers,
however, number of clashes &C.
Cured between whites and negroes.
Three white men were shot down in
revolver battles, receiving critical
wounds. A white man and a colOred
man were sent to the county hospital
when they were severely beaten.
There were n number Of arrests made.
The troops have done excellent
work. Adjutant General Dickson said
he was proud of them. Their COM
manders said they acted like veterans.
They saved many lives, protected
property; and they were cool and
steady facing angry mobs that out
numbered them many times.

rRAINMEh SPUR CONGRESS TO
ACTION ON HIGH COST
OF LIVING.
.PR0FITEER|NG BLAMED
PLAN AIMS AT 8 PER CENT
CUT IN PRESENT
PRICES.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Washington, Aug 2-Cnless the
government can reduce the cost of liv-
ing 10000 trainmen may strike on
Oct. 1. They are asking an Increase
of S1O0,OOOO0O per year. -Four hun
dred and fifty thousand shopmen de
mand $21O.OOO,OO0 more pay. One
million five hundred thousand organ
lied railroad employees discuss strike
Jan. l to compel continuance of gov
eminent ownership.
Washington, Aug. 1.-The high cost
of living is the target of half a dozen
moves in Congress now.
The Senate engaged in n long de-
bate over resolution introduced by
Senator Myers of Montana, attribute
ing the cost OF living to currency in
flatiOn and directing the banking and
currency committee TO recommend
legislation for the gradual reduction
of money In circulation, and Senator
McKellar proposed a resolution Great
ing a joint congressional committee to
investigate the cost of living. No &C
ton was taken on II.
The Myers resolution contains the
statement that on Aug I, 1914, the
money In circulation aggregated S.
367, OO0.O and that on July 1, 1919, 1t
had increased to 1854, 600, 600. Sen
atOr Myers contended II was hopeless
to try to bring down the cost of living
until deflation was started.
In the House favorable action was
taken on the IgOe resolution for an
investigation by the Federal Trade
Commission of the increased price of
shoes.
In calling up his resolution in the
Senate, Senator Myers declared that II
the United States is determined to
carry the burdens Of the economic
world. there can be no hope OF early
beginning Of deflation.
1T is time" he said. "for America
to begin to look to the interests Of
its own people first"
american money Is at a discount
in those countries with which the bal
ance Of trade is favorable to U.S." said
Senator King Of Utah, while under
the inevitable law which governs ex-
changes our money Is at a premium In
countries which have an unfavorable
balance Of trade with the United
States"
1.-THE government, during the war,
In order to induce increased produc-
ton, deliberately permitted combina-
lions Of producers to maintain high
prices, and even fixed high prices on
many necessities and guaranteed their
maintenance" said Senator Kirby Of
Arkansas. This was done for a very
proper and necessary purpose, but the
effects of 1t are with us yet.
Even today the government is hold
ing back from sale great quantities Of
fOOdstuffs in Its possession, and Ia re-
tanning thousands of motor cars, not
permitting them to go on the market
lest their sale would reduce the prices
which manufacturers must take for
their current production. Thus, the
governments part is to maintain the
inflated basis of value created during
the war. The time has come when the
government should adopt different
program.
II consider that the time has come
for vigorous measures to remedy these
conditions, and l intend shortly to in
troduce resolution which l believe
may be useful"

RAPID Developments
RELATIONS COMMITTEE
BEGINS OPEN HEARING
PRESIDENT UNYiELDINo IN HIS
DEMAND FOR UNQUALIFIED
RATIFICATION.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington, July 3O.-The contest
in the Senate over the peace treaty is
marked by rapid-fire succession of
Developments with these features out
standing: Following charges he had
broken his pledged word to the French
government, President Wilson submit
ted the Anglo French-American treaty
OF alliance to the Senate. The foreign
relations committee decided to begin
open hearings on the peace treaty.
with Bernard Baruch, IN economic ad-
visor to the American peace delega-
ton, as the first witness.
Senator Sheppard of Texas, Demo
crat, it was stated, will Introduce an
amendment to the treaty providing for
worldwide prohibition.
Independence for Ireland. Korea and
the Philippines will be provided for in
an amendment to be introduced by
Senator Gore of Oklahoma, Democrat.
Senator Gore, in response to wide
spread demands from churches, will
propose another amendment to put the
name "God" In the treaty.
Senator France of Maryland, Re
publican, charged In a speech that the
administration was making use Of the
espionage Law to suppress free discus
sion of the league and peace treaty.
President Wilson, after comforting
with Senator Hitchcock. leader Of the
administration forces, and Senator
Swanson of Virginia, another admin
istration spokesman. stated that he
was entirely satisfied with the
treaty's prospects in the Senate.
Unyielding in his demand for the
unqualified ratification of the peace
treaty, the President, 1t was definitely
announced at the White House, has
I finally determined to appeal directly
to the country, but will not be ready
to begin his tour until late in August.
When the Presidents special mes
seneer laid the French treaty before
the Senate. Republican senators re-
garded his action as n complete vindi-
cation Of their demands for the fulfill
ment of Article 4 under which the
President solemnly pledged himself to
present the pact to the Senate at the
same time he submitted the peace
treaty.
1t was recalled that several days
ago word came from the White House
that the President had no intention OF
laying the French treaty before the
Senate until his return from his coun-
try-wide stamping trip. His change
of mind was attributed by Republican
senators to the storm stirred up in the
Senate by his alleged violation of the
treaty provisions.
What the Senate's attitude toward
the French treaty will be Is most diff
ficult to ascertain. Much depends on
what happens to the peace treaty.
Senators were unwilling to commit
themselves to definite position on
the alliance until they see what
would be done about the treaty at
Versailles.
One Republican leader said that
many opponents Of the league would
be glad to substitute the alliance for
the peace treaty, but the straight-Out
anti-league faction, led by Senators
Borah and johnson, are opposed to the
French treaty on the ground that 1t
was simply another entangling al
lance.
