He asserted in his letter that banking institutions which have aided in the distribution of the certificates have found ample compen- sa ton for their trouble in the depos- its resulting from the treasury's prac- tice of making each bank the deposi- tory of the proceeds of certificates purchased.

HUNGARIANS MUST SET UP
 REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNMENT

Paris, Saturday, July 26.-A strong arraignment of the present Hungarian government is contained in the allied statement issued today in which it was made known to the Hungarian people that they could only secure a removal of the blockade and receive food sup plies if they busted Bella Kun and sci up d truly representative government The text of the statement, given out by Premier Clemenceau in the name of the peace conference, is as follows:
 The allied and associated govern ments are more anxious to arrange peace with the Hungarian people and thus bring to an end a condition of things which makes the economic re- vival of central Europe impossible and defeats any attempt to secure sup plies for it's population. These tasks cannot even be attempted until there is in Hungary a government which represents it's people and carries cut in the letter and the spirit the eH- agreements into which it has entered with the associated governments.
 "None of these conditions is fulfilled by the administration of Bella Kun which has not only broken the armis- tice to which Hungary was pledged but is at this moment actually at- tacking a friendly and allied power.
 With this particular aspect of the question it is for the associated gov ernments to deal on their own re- sponsibilitY. If food and supplies are to be made available, if the blockade is to be remove. if economic recon struct:on is to be attempted, If peace is to be settled, it can only be done with a government which represents the Hungarian people and not witt one that rests it's authority upon ter rorism.
 "The associated powers think 1t op. perfume to add that all foreign oc- equation of Hungarian territory, as defined by the peace conference, twill cease as soon as the terms of thf arm.stice have. in the opinion of tho allied commander in chief. beer satisfactorily compiled with"

Providence, R. l.. July 21.--A bolt of lightni9g struck the Valley Falls re- par shops Of the New Haven railroad and the fire which followed entirely destroyed the shops. causing damage estimated at $26O. 900.
 Practically the entire contents of the shop were destroyed. with the ex- certion of six coaches which were pulled to safety by the crew of the NaiIey alla switching engine.
 The two buildings covered about an acre with their adjacent yards and faced on Jones Maple and McCondry streets. They were two stories high and parallel with three sets of racks between. Eleven freight cars were burned.
 With the arrival of the fire appa ra = tus total of four streams were played on the flames but the lack of water pressure prohibited any effective work Two large gasoline tanks located about 100 feet in the rear of the shop were in considera ble danger, but explosion was prevented.
 The heavy shower and lack of wind prevented the spread of the fire to the row of wooden tenement houses op- posite The intense heat .blistered the buildings in spite of the quantities of water played upon them by the fire men. Several of the occupants gath cred their household belongings in preparation to leave, but the move was unnecessary.

RiOting in Negro
 District of Chicago
One Negro Was Drowned = Policeman Wounded = Score of Whites and Blacks Were Injured.

Chicago, July 27.-A series of riots in the negro. district late today re- suited in the drowning of one negro, the reported drowning of a white man, probable fatal injury of another negro, the wounding of a policeman and in- jury to a score of whites an1 blacks by bullets or missiles. Police tonight lid they had the situation well in hand.
 The trouble started at the twenty Ninth Street beach where whites and blacks are segregated, and soon spread to State Street, the main district, which extends abon- five miles. Shooting started near the beach. There was also some shooting
 in the vicinity of State Street.
 Although il-feeling between whites and blacks on the South Side has extended over a period If months. emphasized by bomb explosions, some shooting and numerous fights, todays riots seem to have had theIr start in petty quarreling at the beach.
 Reports that negroes wandered across the dividing line to the white section of the beach, and that whites amused themselves by throwing sma II stones at negro bathers, appeared the most plausible cause. Soon after tke fighting started a negro fled pursued by a number of whites.
 He took shelter behind a building and began shooting at policeman who had joined the pursuit and who returned the fire. The negro finally surrendered
 During the fight one negro was probably fatally wounded.
 Twenty Ninth Street was soon pack ed with white and blacks the latter predominating. More fighting occur red and a few shots were fired as some of the negroes fled and patrol wagons loaded with bluecoats raced to the scene.
 fro hfrnl s,1 II and fire apparatus was blocked by the throngS. Negroes are said to have tried to drag the firemen from their seats
 During the fighting. rocks. bricks and other missiles were hurled both at the beach and at various points along Twenty Ninth Street and along State Street, the police said.
 At the beach while missiles were nylng negro on raft. was reported hurled into the lake. Later the body of a negro was taken from the water
 A White man. swimmer, also was reported hit and drowned.
 With the police stations enlptied of reserves and scores of others rushed from North and West Side sations. Acting Chef of Police Alcock ordered every available policeman on duty to prevent. further outbreaks. The small army of policemen succeeded in bring ing about a fair semblance of order
 The negro district has been steadily increasing in recent years with the influx of southern negroes. who came to work in big industrial plants. Their encroachment on white neighborhoods caused considerable trouble and dur ing the past year, many clashes.
 Negroes have charged that a num- Der of bomb explosions in the district m recent months were directed against families of their race by white neigh bors.
 The black belt as it is known in police circles, now comprises approxi- nately 70 square miles and includes only a comparatively few small white settlements.

WORRIED BY DOMESTIC
 SITUATION IN ENGLAND

l London, July 27. - James Henry Thomas. member of parliament for i address before his constituents last night, expressed profound anxiety l concerning the unstable domestic sit uation in England. MT. Thon@s. who
 recently visited America. said that the strong position of the United States , could not be doubted and that he had seen enough while there to satisfy him that it was essential to restore conf dence in this country by increasing production ard Keeping every industry fully employed.
 Mir Thomas speech was his first ut terance since he returned from Amer ica. He declared that the people did
 not realize that the country was 1iv- ing on borrowed capital. He said that Eneland's financial condition. coupled with the manner in which abor dis sputes are mag1ified aagroad,1 had cre- sated an impression in America that and ruin. It was essential for the government to declare it's policy. he asserted, and thus remove the sus- picion of the workers that they were unfairly treated. the reliance of the workers in strikes IS a weapon alone being altogether undcnocratic.
 The Sunday papers gave prominence to amplifcations of MT. Thomas Der by speech expressed by him in an interview.
 Everything I have seen in America, taken in conjunction with events now occurring in this country. convinces me that we shall lose our commercial supremacy unless drastically change our political methods" MT Thomas is quoted as saying. "The open indictment to violence appears to have become common in the last few weeks. No nation which is con stantly having a pistol pointed at it's head by it's own people can live whether the pistol comes from Belfast or Barnsley.
 Throughout America I saw con- clusively that the fullest preparations were being made to capture our com mercial supremacy. What the people of this country won't realize is that America is in a position to hold us up for ransom. The United States does not need to import raw materials and her economic position therefore is un- rivalled today. On the other hand. she contains all of the raw materials We require for our commercial recon struction and unless we are prepared to manufacture on something like o.Ir old basis we shall have to pay prices which in the long run can only result in diSaSte
