White Men Arrested for
Fires i'm Riot Zones

A number of young whites between
the ages of II and 90 are being sought by
the police for being responsible for the
fires during the recent riots. Many have
already been taken into custody.
Fugitive warrants have been issued
for those who might leave town before
they can be located.
These mobs of young hoodlums took
advantage of the excitement during the
riots and set fire to homes and pilfered
the belongings TO furnish their club
rooms.
Ministers and others are eensurine
the authorities for failing to gather suf
ficient evidence against whites and
blacks who have been arraigned before
Judge Grove.

CHICAGO TRIBUNE .jHHE-

Newspaper

New Orleans, La, Aug. 21.-The
Times Pieayune, one of the largest pub
lications in the south, in an editorial en-
titled "Criticism from the South, -
made an open, uncompromising attack
upon the Chicago Tribune, denouncing
it as illogical, irresponsible and without
truth.
The editorial reads as follows
The Chicago Tribune, having helped
to stir up the race trouble in that city,
now veers around and protests against
what il styles criticism from the
South" That il has been yirulent for
years in its abuse of this section, ire

bitterness are so deep seated as to rem

tions affecting the South with man
made mad by some personal grievance or
self-interest. We have felt, too, that the
very radicahsm of the Tribune suf-
ficiently answered its own articles of
abuse as to undo much of the harm they
sought TO attain.
The Tribune has seen lately that its
policy of hate was stirring up troubles
and riots that have lately disgraced Chi

taken to issuing warnings on the sub

18th New York to Have
Armory

New York, Aug. 21.-Aetion on the
part of the Board of Estimate in the
matter of an armory for the Fifteenth
New York Regiment can be expected
in the early fall. This was forecasted
by Acting Controller Hahlo yesterday.
Controller Hahlo stated that there
were a number of offers received by
his office for property located between
134th and 142d streets, between Eighth
avenue and Lenox avenue, but that all
offers so far were considered exorbi-
tant.
"Our claim has already brought
about considerable reductions" Hahlo
continued, "but not enough to satisfy
us yet. 1t is reasonable to assume, how
ever, that the matter will be before the
Board of Estimate for final settlement
in the early fall"

REPUBLICANS FUSE WITH
DEMOCRATS
To Defeat Colored Candidates
in 18th Ward

Fusion between the republicans and
democrats, either openly or tacitly, is
said to have been practically decided on
in certain districts in the matter of Sc
lecting delegates to the constitutional
convention. Several cases are reported
where the republicans and democrats are
reported as trying TO get together, avoid
partisanship and secure the election of
representative delegates who will make
a common sense basic law.
Not all of the men who plan to go to
the convention are in the list of primary
candidates, it is sail, and the democratic
county committee in particular is ex-
pected to make several changes follow
ing the party selections, by inducing
nominees TO withdraw and leave vacan-
cies 10 be filled by the district commit
tees. In the 18th district, for instance,
which is the home of Denis j. Egan,
bailiff of the Municipal court, il is un-
derstood that one Of the men TO be nom
mated by the democrats will give way
to Egan. John +. O'Malley, in the 2lst
district, also is said TO be planning to
substitute for one of the men named at
the primaries.

OAK PARK
Village Board Urged to Set Aside
a District

E. II. Mundt, real estate dealer, Oak
Park, suggested in letter to George v
Pyott, president of the village boards
that zone be established where Negroes
would be allowed to live.
More than 300 colored people sought
refuge in Oak Park during the rioting
in Chicago and are living with friends
and relatives
In his missive, Mr.. Mundt pointed out
that the colored people had been instru-
mental in bringing the war to sue
cessful close and pleaded that they be
given homes in Oak Park.

Ajl;s;d5cATEs FARMING AS
"A CURE FOR RACE
TROUBLES

Kansas City, Aug. 21.-H. z. Ewing,
a Negro, and former Kaw Valley "Po-
tato King" is now promoting with L.
II. Miles a colonization scheme to sell
10000 acres of Arkansas land to
Negroes. Mr.. Ewing has been a social
worker among his people in Greater
Kansas City and has the backing of
Phil. Toll, the lumber king, in his new
est enterprise.
Ewing is man of ambition, visions
and stamina, who sees a future for the
black man if he can only be educated
along the right lines. He at one time
had more than 1000 acres of potatoes
in the Kaw Valley and in 1896 shipped
206 car loads of potatoes, the produc-
tion from his farm which is twenty miles
west of Kansas City.
He worked five years trying to stamp
out the vice among the negroes of Kan
sas City. His work along these lines
was also a success, as ne succeeded in
closing some of the worst places of vice
in the city.
He has plans for the future that look
as well as those of his work in the
past. 81 want the Negro to go back
to the farm" he says, "for 1 know if
I can get him away from the vice of
the City and to understand the advan-
tages of a country life that will have
done him a good deed and started him on
the upward climb
1t is his plan TO split the $4,000 acres
of cleared and timbered land in the
Yell and Perry valleys of Arkansas in
to tracts of 40 to 100 acres, ana sell
these tracts to Negroes, only at prices
varying from $40 to $25 an acre.
He will erect school of native hewed
logs in which to teach the Negro bet
ter agricultural methods in order that
they may make successful farmers.
None of the land which Mr. Ewing
has is more than three miles from the
railroad and is said to be very produc-
tive.
The timber on the land, if cut and
marketed, will pay for the land. Mr..
Ewing figures that if he can make the
Negro see the opportunity that all of
the land will be disposed of by Decem-
ber. He will not try to get the Kansas
City Negroes to take up this land as
he declares they are Kansas City
spoiled and could not be easily induced
20 give up the bright lights.
eff 1 could just pound into the
Negroes head the difference between
racial distinction and prejudice, ]
would Nhave overcome mountain, u
says Mr., Ewing. With plenty of en-
thusiasm he is tackling q big job for
the betteYment Of the race.

COLORED WOMAN BEATEN
BY CALIFORNIA MOB
Courts to Act to Avoid Trouble

Oakland, Cal, Aug. 21.-What is
easily described as one of the most
primitive, brutal and eowardly crimes in
a supposed civilized community was the
cowardly attack by white hoodlums
upon Mr.. William Harris, wife and
daughter, who reside at GIT Jackson
street, a so-called exclusive residential
section of Oakland, Cal.

Women Beaten.

In making a complaint in his request
for warrant, Mr.. Harris stated that
these women, without ceremony or prov
ocation, came to his home, called his
wife and daughter to the door and by a
preponderance of numbers succeeded in
giving them severe beating. If the
courts fail to prosecute the offenders it
is reported that serious trouble will fol
low.
The Chicago whip. (Chicago, Ill.) 1919-19??, 1919-08-21

This is due, il is believed, TO the fact
that four colored voters of the ward
have filed republican petitions, and the
Thompson leaders do not wish 10 disturb
present friendly relations with the col
ored vote by throwing their entire
strength to two white candidates. The
influx of Negroes 60 the l4th ward has
been steady movement, IL is said, al
though this is the first time the eolored
voters have thought themselves strong
enough in the district to make such a
general effort to capture an office.
The republican factions are said to
have come 90 o general agreement all
over Tho city in the matter of supporting
candidates, the districts being recog-
nize0 according 10 their representation
in the county committee. There are
several rough spots for the republicans
20 iron out, such as the 3lst district, a
Brundage stronghold. The Brundage or
ganization has two candidates, Edward
S. Day of the 25th ward and William IL
Beekman of the 23d ward. The Thomp-
sonites have picked Eugene II. Dupeei
attorney for the board of local improve
ments, and want to make deal for Du-
pee and Beckman, both in the same
ward. The 25th ward Brundage men
refuse to listen to this and are demand
ing support for Day.

Mob Attacks Twice.

The mob, it is said, made first an at

home. Their efforts to frighten Mr.. Har-

to return in person. With the financial
aid of certain white real estate sharks,
it is alleged they hired some of the lower
element of white women to attack Mrs.
and Miss Harris
