INVESTIGATION OF HELENA RACE RIOTS DIVUIGES
"GETRICH-QUICK WALLINGFORD" OF THE SOUTH
WHO MAKES WILD PROMISES AND MUCH MONEY

HELENA, Ark, Oct. Ga state
ment was made today on the re-
cent riots by E. NJ. Allen, of the
committee of seven, authorized by
local officers and Gov Brough to
investigate the trouble, charging
that the affair was an organized
negro uprising, fostered by a
negro who preyed on "the ignor-
ance and superstition of a race of
children for monetary gains"
Mr.. Allen, who was one of q
leading men marked for death,
after hearing confessions, examin-
ing circulars and other evidence
procured by state and military Of
ficials in connection with the
work of the committee, issued the
following statement to explain
what the committee had found to
be the situation leading to the
killing of five white men and up
wards of score of negroes:
"The present trouble with the
negroes in Phillips county is not a
race riot. 1t is a deliberately
planned insurrection of the ne
groes against the whites directed
by an organization known as the
Progressive Farmers and House
holders Union of America estab-
lished for the purpose of banding
negroes together for the killing of
white people. This union was
started by Robert L. Hill, a negro
26 years Of age, of Winchester,
Ark, who saw in it an opportunity
of making easy money. He has
been a farmer all his life but
lately had been posing as a priv
ate detective doing work in this
and all foreign countries
Starts Lodge
"He started his first union work
in April of this year. He organ
lied the Ratio Lodge in May of
this year. He told the darkies
that he was an agent of the gov
ernment and because the senators
and representative in Washing
ton were white men and in SYM
pathy with the white men of the
south, It was Impossible for the
negroes to get the rights that had
been promised them for service in
the army and so the government
had called into existence this or
ganization which would be sup
ported by the government in de-
fense of the negroes against the
white people. He told them it was
necessary for all members of the
union to arm themselves in pre-
paration for the day when they
should be called upon to attack
their white oppressors.
'The slogan Of the organization
is We Battle for Our Rights The
password of all the negroes was

Annexation Would
Mean Fiurne Ruin

PARIS. Oct. 6.-(By the Associated
Press)-Ruggero Gothardi. president
of the democratic autonomist party of
Fiume, who, with his secretary, has
arrived in Paris, claiming to have es-
capped from F1ume, where he was
sentenced tn death, has presented an
appeal for the naturalization of
Fiume to Frank L. Polk, American un-
der-secretary of state saying he rep
resents two-thirds of the votes of
Fiume.
"a large majority of the people," he
said, though wishing to keep the
italian language, are absolutely op-
posed to annexation to Italy, as it
would mean the ruin of the city.

He told them that those mer
bers who were unable to buy am
munition would be supplied by the
union from the government store
house at Winchester.
THE purely mercenary side of
it develops as follows:
Charges Entrance Fee
Negro men were charged S1.5O
entrance fee and negro women so
cents. At the second or third
meeting, he would bring DR.. V. E.
Powell of Winchester with him
who was purported to be the ex-
amining physician for the govern
ment in its work of registering the
negroes in defense of their rights.
A certificate was filled out and
signed by the doctor and given to
each negro upon payment of so
cents. This certificate was sup
posed to be the registration docu-
ment. Those negroes who were
possessed of funds In amounts
from $5 to $25 were enrolled in an
. advanced section of the union and
upon payment Of whatever sum he
(Hill) could procure in excess of
SIS a certificate was given en-
titling the holder to attend the
congresses Of the union at Win
chester and speak on the floor of
the meeting regarding any ques-
ton brought up and to assist in
keeping the constitution of the
United States from being ques-
toned.
Another form Of exortation was
to sell shares Of $40 each to the
negroes in a proposed building to
be erected by the union at Win
chester. Hill had so planned his
campaign that any negro possess
ing from so cents to $50 was given
an opportunity to invest in some
thing connected with the union.
Tells Great Story
''He then advised the members
that the general attorney of the
union in Little Rock would for an
additional consideration represent
all of the negroes in their settle

"He further told the negroes
that the plan of Secretary Lane to
provide hcmesteads for the sol
diers had been carried out where
the white soldiers were concerned,
but the negroes had been refused
participation in it. We found

ate Said About to Act; All
Parties Desire Vote Soon

WASHINGTON, Oct 6-Considera-
ton of the peace treaty in the senate
today did not reach the reading of the
printed text leading up to the Shan
tung provision on which the next
fight will be made. The days pro-
gram comprised four speeches, with
a small attendance and listless inter-
est in the proceedings.
The principal speech was by Sena-
tor McCumber of North Dakota. Re-
publican member of the foreign rela-
t1ons committee, who declined to sign
the majority report recommending
amendments and reservations to the
treaty and the league of nations COW
enant. Other speakers were Sena-
tors Mccormick, Illinois. and Lenroot,
Wisconsin, Republicans. and Walsh.
Democrat, Montana. The discussion
related to much ground heretofore
covered although Senator Mccormick
deyoted some attention to the British
Persian treaty.
Some senators anxious to speed up
the treaty had indicated that il might
be possible to jump right into discus
sion of the Shantung question, with
prospects of a vote within the next
few days. There was scarcely a ref
erence to it, however, and as the de-
bate was general, no effort was made
to resume the reading so as to bring
the senate up to the Shantung amend
ment, next on the list for a vote
Ready for Action.
Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska,
leading the Democratic fight for. un-
amended ratification, objected today
to move to set aside the treaty tenn
porarily to consider another matter.
and in doing so insisted that the SEN
ate should begin work on the pact
earlier than o'clock, the usual hour
at which it has been called up.
Members of both houses of congress
are counting on a recess about the
first of next month, and as this de-
pends. of course, upon final disposi-
ton of the treaty, the suggestion has
been made by some senators, il was
said, that the two parties endeavor
at separate conferences to figure on
how much actual talking time will be
required by both sides. AS it seems
to be admitted that every senator
knows now how he will vote regard
less of future discussion. there is still
a growing disposition in some quar-
ters not to prolong the proceedings
by speeches although Democratic and
Republican leaders unite in declaring
that attempts to shut off speeches
will not be tolerated. What they seek.
it is said, is voluntary agreement,
called to hasten vote.
Denies Unequal Vote
Senator McCumber, in his speech
today, sharply denied the argument
that Great Britain would have six
votes against one for the United
States in the league. and contended
that the United States would be the
dominant power.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.-Represnt
atives of the public evinced a spirited
desire for action, rather than oratory
at the opening session today of the
industrial conference called by Prest
dent Wilson.
Apparently with the determination
of differentiating this conference from
many similar gatherings held in
Washington, the public's delegates
demanded that sessions be held night
and day, If necessary, to establish a
basis for harmonious relations be-
tween capital and labor during the
present abnormal economic condi-
tions. Bernard M. Baruch Of New
York, one of these delegates, was
active in directing the affairs of the
conference, which was considered
proper in view of his close friendship
with President Wilson and his fire.

After the appointment of commit
tees on rules and nominations, the
conference adjourned to meet tomor-
row. Gavin McNab of San Francisco,
a representative of the public, was
mentioned prominently for perma-
nent chairman of the conference, but
members of both committees declined
to indicate what their recommends
tions would be.
Want Quick Action.
Motion to adjourn by w. D. Mahon,
one of the delegates of the American
Federation OF Labor, brought the first
indication that the men named to rep
resent the public were prepared to
force results. Thomas L. Chadbourne
of New York, who sat with Mr.. Ba-
ruch, took the floor Immediately.
"All the men on both sides and in
the middle of this hail." he said, re-
ferring to the seating arrangement
whereby the delegates of capital and
labor were on either side of the pub
lie representative seats, care here to
work as rapidly as possible, and
know that the men in the middle OF
this situation want to carry on these
conferences day and night, If neces-
sary, to get through. I would like
very much to see the motion changed
so we can meet again this afternoon
or evening"
Mr.. Mahon explained that meet
ing of the executive council of the
federation had been called some time
previously which it was impossible
to postpone and Mr.. Chadbourne with
drew his suggestion.
Arrive Early.
Virtually every delegate was in his
seat when Secretary Wilson called
the meeting to order in the Pan-Amer-
lean building. John Barrett, director
general of the union, in welcoming
the delegates to the use of the build
