interview with Cole L. Blease, In

RIOTS IN CHICAGO
STILL CONTINUE

Chicago, July 29.-With twenty
four dead and hundreds injured,
scores of them seriously, sporadic
rioting between whites and negroes
was reported renewed tonight in va
rious sections of the city, including
the small north side area populated
by negroes. City and State officials,
including Governor Lowden, remain
ed on the scene throughout the night
and expressed the, opinion that worst
of the rioting was ended.
The most serious situation was re-
ported in the south negro belt where
thousands of negroes and whites had
gathered.
The whites organized after two
wounded white men were taken to
the hospital which also received
white patients. The rifle squad from
the detective bureau was ordered to
the scene.
The wounded whites were struck
by bullets said to have been fired
by about thirty negroes at Thirty
Fifth and State streets following a
collision between two police patrol
wagons in which two men were re-
ported killed and several policemen
injured.
Whites had gathered virtually all
over Northside and Loop police were
ordered to this district thus leaving
almost without police protection Sec
tions from which came reports of in
termittent outbreaks.
A sinister silence that prevailed in
the negro 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 negroes predominated in num-
bers. Several meetings at negro halls
were broken up by the police after
which crowds formed on the streets.
In the early night clashes, various
Weapons were used, including table
knives and slingshots. Few guns ap-
peared.
The coroner's death list showed
that thirteen negroes and eleven
white had been killed.
Troops Are Ready.
Troops had not been ordered to pa
troll the negro belt the police main
tanning that they were still able to
handle the situation. Four regiments
of state troops were in barracks

seems clear to us that while sergeants
and lieutenants were punished, they
were merely the scapegoats Of the
higher officers. We want to discov-
er who were the men higher up, and
we will do everything in our power
to see that they are brought to trial.
1t is apparent that this was not a
case Of brutality in an individual
prisoner, but that similar conditions
existed in all the prisons of France"
The principal witness at the hear
ing today was Col. T. @. Donaldson
Of the inspector generals department,
who made an official investigation
Of the prisons after the first charges
of brutality were made public. Un-,
der close questioning by Representa-
tive Bland and with obvious reluc-
tance, Col. Donaldson admitted that
responsibility for the conditions in
the Paris prison camps concerning
which some Of the most sensational
charges Of brutality have been made,
must be laid to Gen. Harts. He was
then questioned sharply as to the
reasons why Col. Grinstead, who hed
basn in charge of farm No. 2, had
never been brought to trial, although
Col. Donaldson in his report recon-
mended his court-martial for neglect
of duty.
"Is it possible, asked Mr.. Bland,
"that high officers took the position
that they would not convict man of
the rank of colonel and that they had
good part in the person of Hard
Boiled Smith," -. ...
"I have nothing to say about that"
"Do you know of any reason, per-
sisted Mr.. Band, "why Col. Grinstead
should not have been brought to
trial?"
"1 suppose the superior officers
had some good reason" replied the
witness.
"It is a serious reflection on the
American expeditionary forces"
commented Mr.. Bland. "If a sentry
goes to sleep on duty he is shot, but
if an officer goes to sleep on duty
and hands of boys are beaten up he
is given an honorable discharge"

Treatment for Stomach.Worms.

The most satisfactory treatment for
StOgnach-wormS in cattle and sheep.
according to Or. W. II. Dalrymple Of
the Louisiana State University. is the
administration of a solution Of copper
Sulphate. or limestone. which may be
prepared as follows:
Take Is ounces of clear crystals Of
hlueStOnes and crush them to Il fine
powder. Place the powder III pOr-
celain-lined eIamel-ware receptacle to
prevent cOrrOsion. and add sufficient
ioiling water to dissolve it. Then
add cold water to make the total
| quantity (Of water) 9H gallons to
obtain the proper strenth for use.
This solution should be kept in a
wooden. earthenware. or other non
metallic receptacle. BY observing
these proportions. any desired guam
tity of the solution may he prepared.
The dosage Of the copler-Sulphate
solution is as follows:
| For Cattle
Calves. 81 to 1 ounces.
YearlingS. q ounces.
Two-year-olds and above. Il to IL
ounces.
For Shccp-
Lambs. three months old. three
fOurtllS Of an ounce.
Lambs. six months old. one and one
half ounces.
Sheep. II months old. three ounces
Sheep. Is months old. two and one
half ounces.
Sheep. - months old and above
three and one-h;llf ounces.
The solution should lie thoroughly
mixed. and the doses carefully meas
rred. and given in the form Of ;

HOUSES FOR THE PEOPLE

Just now this being State Fair
week. the lack of sufficient houSe-room
is keenly felt in Shreveport, but the
lack of sufficient bOuSe-rOOm i'll that
city is daily-nOted Inconvenience
that touches every class of the pOpu-
lation save those who own the houses
in which they dwell. The people of
Shreveport are trying to provide more
room and are doing much in that way:
hut the city is growing rapidly and the
increasing oil excitement is cauSin.

ter Of the industry in such numbers
that ADEQUATE hotel Accommodations can
hardly be provided. to say nothing
of dwelling houses in Sufiiciency.
And this brings the housing problem
back to the country and the country
town. Houses can be lnilt in Benton,
BoSSier City. Plain Dealing and other
BosSier Parish towns much cheaper

Labor is hard to get and lumber Is
very costly. to say nothing OF brick
and mortar. but all these things can

town than in the citXn There are
also many people who prefer to dwell
i'm the country and would gladly own
their own homes. and it occurs to the
writer that it might he well for those
who have in mind the matter OF SOlv-
ing the housin. problem to study it
from the standpoint of out-of-towll
residence for the thousands in the
city who would really like it. The
railroads could and doubtless would CO.
operate and they could run trains on
schedules to suit the convenience of
people going daily to and from their
work in the city. And again. there is
the automobile and our graded and
gravelled roads.
Small towns like these along the
railroads out of Shreveport through
RoSSier Parish could offer attractive
building lots ut very low prices to
| bonle-builders. And some of these
| little towns are attractive places to
! live in, and would be able to offer
greater convenience to their new citi-

their increased populations. Water

Let the city people who are not able

many miserable people made contented
