TEXAS GUARDSMEN KEEP ORDER TIER
 CRAVE RACE CLASH

LONGVIEW, Texas, July 11.-Near- ly 200 members of the Texas National guard from Dallas and Nacodoches, or dered here today by Governor w. P. Hobby to prevent further clashes be- tween whites and negroes, were arriv- ing tonight by train and automobile. The situation remains quiet after a clash early today in which four white men were wounded when a small party of white men were fired upon by ne groeS, estimated to have numbered about 75. Reports that one negro was killed could not be confirmed and as far as is known none were wounded
 Additional troops are held in readi- ness at Terrell. Texas. Texas Rangers ar expected to relieve the soldiers to- morrow.
 The trouble today occurred when 12 or 15 whites were waylaid and fired upon in the negro section of Longview, where they had gone in search of F. L. Jones, a negro school teacher ac- cused of causing the publication of statements derogatory to young woman of this county in a negro newspaper published in Chicago The whites returned the fire of the negroes. who were hidden in vantage points. and withdrew when their ammunition was exhausted.
 A general alarm was sounded and the whites, with endorsements, soon returned to the scene to find that the negroes had disappeared. Five of the principal negro residences were then burned by the whites.
 The governor was called upon when local officials were unable to cope with the situation.
 Search for two alleged negro ring leaders continued tonight

REPORTS IF GERMAN . JAPAN TREATY VARY.
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, July 11.-It was stated today that none. of the material which has come into the governments hands in connection with recurring re- ports of a secret treaty between Japan and Germany corresponds entirely with photostatic copies of the alleged treaty which have been circulated among senators. The photostatic cop- ies reproduce a publication of several weeks ago in a publication at Shang- hai.
 Senator Lodge already has resolu- ton pending calling for any material the government may have on the sub ject. The report was repeatedly denied by the Japanese embassy here and the state department also has denied knowledge of the alleged treaty.
 Diplomatists pointed out today the published document described as a treaty bears no signatures and no dates, and might have been a memo randum prepared by some German of ficial with the hope of converting it into a treaty. It was stated officially today that no evidence was at hand to connect any responsible official of the Japanese government with the doc ument.
