KNAPP DEFENDS !.
NAVAL ACTION
Landing of Sailors Prevented
BIoodshed and Thus Italian
Jugo-SIaviC War.

Washington, Oct. 2.-Intervention
by the American naval force at Trau,
Dalmatia, prevented bloodshed,
(which would perhaps have resulted
in a state of actual war between Italy
and Jugo Slavia," according to a. re-
port from Admiral Knapp, command
ing American naval forces in Euro
pean waters, transmitted to the SEN
ate today by Secretary Daniels.
American sailors were not landed,
said Admiral Knapp, until after
American and Italian officers who
had been sent to Trau had induced
the Italian raiders to withdraw afte-
they had surprised and captured the
small Serbian garrison. One Italian
officer and three men were left behind
and the American bluejackets Were
sent ashore to protect them and po-
lice the town until Serbian troops
could arrive, the admiral said.
The Americans acted, Admiral
Knapp continued, at the request OF
the italian admiral in command on
the Dalmatian coast, and the force
was withdrawn Immediately after the,
Serbians arrived and took charge.
Meantime the commander of the Ital-
ian raiders was ordered to trial by
court martial by the Italian admiral.

DR., Grayson has practically decided
to keep his patient in Washington,
being convinced that he would re-
ceive more efficient treatment here
and at the same time be afforded the
seclusion that is necessary for COM
plete recovery.
DR.. Grayson's official bulletin said:
The president had a fairly good
night, but his condition is not at all
good this morning"
Not Thought Alarming.
The presidents condition is not
considered alarming, it was explained
at the White House, and tie decision
TO call in DR.. Dercum was made as
a precautionary measure and to re-
lleve the pressure on DR.. Grayson,
who has been with the pre- ident al
most continuously since he was
taken i'll a week ago while or a
speaking tour.
The president was described as eX-
tremely restless. DR.. Grayson insists
that the president remain quiet, and
is trying to divert his mind from
work and executive matters in which
Mr.. Wilson Is deslrous of taking
hand. The executive, however, has
been permitted to sign a few bills
and attend to some few other routine
matters.
Dr. Grayson has been in consulta-
ton with Rear Admiral f. X. Stitt,
mead of the naval medica, school,
and DR.. Dennis. of the naval dispen-
sary, but they have not seen the
president.

affected now pay monthly rental of
approximately $4,000, providing a
gross profit of $1,l00 for the lessees.
There is a slight possibility that
the Loew interests may not exercise
their option whi n expires shortly,
but even in this event n theater Is
considered assured, as local interests
have already applied to Brown and
Kalanzis for an option. not only on
the property which Loew plans to
acquire, but also on the fifty feet
adjoining it on the north on Cherry
street.
In case I.oew exercises his option,
his plans are to use the property now
occupied by Friedman as an arcade
entrance, with the theater facing to-
ward Eighth street. The Market
street entrance, as well as an en-
trance which would be provided on
Cherry street, would lead into the
side of the theatre instead of the
front In case local interests secure
the property. they will, as before
stated, secure the additional fifty
feet on Cherry street and face the
theater toward Market street.
Another Bidder.
The Signal Amusement company,
II was learned Thursday, attempted to
secure the lease on the Wheeler
block, but was unsuccessful. The
failure undoubtedly means a thea
trical and moving picture war in
Chattanooga.
Work upon the new theater can
be begun at an early date, regardless
of whether the Loew or Chattanooga
interests obtain the property affected,
as the lease Of the Friedman Cloth
ing company expires at an early date.

Another Crime in Omaha.
Gen Wood Urges Papers Not
to Print Story.

Imaha, Neb., Oct. 2.-Mlitary, po-
lice and volunteer patrols on riot
duty here were increased today fol-
lowing an attack upon two white
women, Mrs. Wisner and her daugh-
ter, by negroes Wednesday.
The women were found bound and
gagged in their home in the out
skirts Of the city They said several
negroes had attacked them. Soldiers
near the Wisner home arrested three
negro suspects and they were taken
before the women today.
The attack, one of a series of thir
ty-eight simillr crimes since June /,
occurred within a few blocks of
army headquarters, where machine
gun is mounted News of the crime
was withheld in the afternoon papers
at the request of Mai. Gen. Leonard
Wood, who is actively in command
of the situation since the relinquish-
ment Of the control of the city by
Acting Mayor w. G. Ure.
The number OF troops in he black
belt was doubled Immediately fol-
lowing the attack and 500 soldiers are
today on duty in that section.
Woman Was Cleaning Window.
The attack on the woman occurred
at 3 o'clock at her home on the edge
of the black belt She was clean
ing windows, when a negro threw
cloth over her face and bound and
gagged her. Her two children, aged
l. an 8, gave the alarm and the mill
tary forces stationed a Gordon of
troops around the neighborhood.
Every precaution has been taken
to prevent another outbreak similar
to the one Sunday night, which re-
suited in a lynching of a negro, the
death Of two other persons, the at
tack on the mayor and the burning
of the courthouse. with damage es-
timated at $L0O0,000.
AIat.-Gen. Wood requested local
newspapers to withhold publication of
the story of the attack on the women,
as the news might have a tendency
to incite further race prejudice"
Additional machine guns manned
by federal troops were placed at stra-
teeic points in the downtown and
negro section of the city Wednesday
night.
500 indictments Probable.
At the office of the county attorney
it was reported today tha' 500 in
dictments will ne drawn as result
OF the riots sunday.
Close TO fifty persons have been
to date and are all held

Loew Interests Option Building Occupied by Friedman
Clothing Company-Theatrical War Possible.

Chattanooga 10 to have another r
modern theatcr in the heart of the
retail district on Market street, It
was learned today from authoritive
sources. Marcus loew has an option
upon the store front now occupied by
the clothing establishment Of Morris
Friedman, $50 Market street, and also
upon the Cherry street lot directly in
the rear, with dimensions Of as by 140
feet.
The fact that the Loew interests
had secured a lease in the heart Of
the retail district of Chattanooga was
published in The News two weeks
ago. The location could not be
learned, however, until Thursdty
morning when 1t was divulGed that
the purchase of a nineteen year lease
upon the Xenophan Wheeler block on
Market street by George X. Brown
and James G.. Kalanzis for $4,000 in
cash was subject to an option by
Loew on that portion of the property
now occupied by Friedman and also
the Cherry street site in the rear
Large Rental.
The lease purchased by Brown and
Kalanzis covers, in addition to the
property under option, the store
fronts occupied by the Meyer-Leach
Jewelry company, the National Cloth
ing company, Pizitz's and the Trivers
Clothing company and the Cherry
street property in the rear.
Under the terms of the lease which
was obtained from y. r. Preston, &.

DR.. Dercum, it was stated, is ex-
pected to arrive at the White House
late this afternoon. DR.. George De
SchWeinitZ, also of the University of
Pennsylvania, also has been sum
moned, but he is the presidents regu
lar eye specialist, it was explained,
and he is consulted twice year regu
larly.
In making announcement of the
call of a specialist DR.. Grayson as
serted that there was absolutely no
cause for alarm. The president, he
explained, was on the ragged edge"
and DR.. Grayson felt that it would
be wiser to engage the services of
nerve specialist He also stated that
he had consulted with Medical Di-
rectors Stitt and Daniels, of the
navy department, in reference to the
presidents case.
The decision to call in a specialist
was prompted as much by the con-
dition of DR.! Grayson as by the ILL
ness of the patient. DR.. Grayson has
been with the president almost con-
stantly, and has been UP at all hours
of the night. Consequently he is him
self worn out. The president is un-
derstood to have opposed the idea of
calling In another physician and was
persuaded only with difficulty, that
it was the best course to pursue.
The president was represented as
being extremely anxious to get back
to work and was continually chatting
because he is allowed to attend to
matters only of mere routine, such as
attaching his signature to various

KENYON'S PROBE
IN SPOTLICH
Interest CenterS on Result OF
Senatorial Investigation
of Steel Strike.
(BY GEORGE r. HOLMES.

Pittsburgh, oct. "a. N. S,)-The
steel strike pursued the slo'I, even
tenor of it's way here today, with the
eyes of its principals centered on
Washington, where Senator Kenyon's
investigating committee continues to
hold the spotlight.
Progress was claimed by the opcr-
ators-the slow, methodical progress
which told of more men entering the
mills, here and there additional works
being put in operation and n slow
rise in the production of the finished
material.
No big gains have been made by
tho companies. On the other hand
the strikers have hardly made any.
They are getting a dribble of men
into the organization, but not in such
numbers as to affect the outcome of
the struggle either way.
The fact was pointed out here to-
day that the strikers have succeeded
in closing but one factory since the
day after the strike was Called-the
plant at Weirton, w. Va. The opera
tors have succeeded in rcopening
more than a dozen in this district
alone in the same span of time.
One of the far-rcaChing results Of
the strike in this territory partiC-
larly has been to cause a Considcra-
BILE total of fol cign workers to quit
the industry and quit the United
States. Constant streams of alien
workers, their families and their
goods are passing daily through the
railroad stations of the mill towns,
bound for the seacoast and the home
land.
This has been occasioned by a
natural desire to return to Europe,
it is said, hastened by tidy sums of
war savings and the market unrest
and sporadic outbreaks of violence in
various parts of the country. They
figure, apparently, that now is good
time to go, and they are going in
large numbers.
In some plants in the Pittsburgh
district only American workers are
now employed. The old signs, such
as Workers wanted Lithuanians
and Croatians preferred" have dis
appeared and in their places now ap-
pear signs, only Americans wanted"
This has been brought about largely
by the fact that generally speaking,
this is d foreign labor strike in this
district Some concerns are even
naturalizing their foreign employees
who remain.
