Color Hunting Other (Continued from Page One) killing one negro and wounding thirty others. Governor on Scene.
 Throughout the day, and evening Governor Lowden was in conference with city officials, state officers and i heads of state militia units. He also called for advice from Colonels Mil i ton Forefan, Abel Davis, Henry Ak len, Henry J. Riley and John w. Clin-' min. who commanded Illinois regi- ments in France. In addition, Col Joseph B. Sanborn, who led the old Dandy first" overseas, was reported i enroute to Chicago from Sprigfield. Samuel Insull, former chairman of the state council of defense, and Roger Sullivan, democratic leader, also saw the governor.
 The governor let it be known that four regiments of state troops were ready for duty at minutes notice, and that they would be sent into the. i riot district as soon as request came from the proper municipal authori- ties.
 Negroes barricaded in their homes on South side wounded three police men in a battle with motorcycle po- licemen at State and 32nd streets. i Negroes in many South side neighbor- hoods were charged by the police with sniping. A number of men were wounded.
 Rubbish thrown into State street from upper windows blocked the path of seven motorcycle policemen and, as they stopped, they were fired upon. Two of them and detective sergeant 4 who joined them were wounded and their companions then burst through the barricaded doors of two buildings and arrested sixteen negroes. Two Springfield army rifles and ammuni- tion were found.
 A sinister silence that prevailed in the black belt on the south side at dusk gave way to confusion and sharp clashes, principally with clubs and knives as weapons, as the night wore on.
 Where these outbreaks occurred, the
  Several meetings at negro halls were broken up by the police, after which , crowds formed on the streets. , Few persons entered the "barred zone" of the black belt after dark to-
 night.
 Many Wild Reports.
 The police were further swamped
 with reports of the most exaggerated nature. One said that, a negro had l torn a baby from the arms of white woman and choked it to death r F'renzied negro women, on the other / hand, kept the wires busy with ap- l peals for the polics to save their men } some of them even asserting that } whites were burning the blacks al = stakes.
 3 These needless reports only crip. = pied the efforts of the police to keeI
 an accurate check on what was ac-
 tually taking place.
 Negro educators and religious lead.
 CTS sent out appeal after appeal fol
 the blacks to go to their homes anc
 keep the peace. The appeal fell or l deaf ears.
 A mob of whites attacked the Pro.
 vident hospital, an institution fol

 that followed, one negro was prob ably fatally wounded, two policemen Q and one white and one a negro, and z about six other persons were wound !, ed. When the. mob surrounded the . hospital an attempt to enter the
 building was beaten off by police. men. Hundreds of whites followed st the leadership of man who is said f to have rushed through the streets
 firing a revolver. The hospital was caring for about 70 patients at the
 time, about a score of the negro victims of riots of the last three f days. The presence of police pre- l vented more serious riot. The pat = tents were thrown into serious f condition, the hospital authorities @ said.
 e Murder and Burn Negro. d The body of negro who had beer s shot to death and burned was foune
 tonight in the west side Italian dis S trict when the police responded to { g riot call. He had been stabbed also '. and gasoline poured on his body ant 8 set afire.
 n State and city authorities early an 0 nounced themselves as determined tt e use every legitimate force in an eff

 f Guards Held ia Reserve. ,- In addition to the four regiments tt on the ground, the Ninth and Tentl n regiments of the guard and three oth
 CT reserve units were mobilized a e various towns throughout the state z awaiting word to ei.train for Chicago |. This gave a potential military fore
 of approximately $500 as a back + ground for the city police force. ', The city authorities expressed con o fidence that the police would be abl :, ~ to handle any trouble that develope,
