CHICAGO, July 31-Six thousand
war equipped troops are 'patronlng
the main negro quarters. They were
ordered out last night when dark
ness brought renewed rioting and
5000 policemen found themselves ex-
hausted. General Dickson reported to

was "OminOus." In four nights of
rioting seventeen negroes and thir-
teen whites were killed and nearly
a thousand injured, two hundred were
severely wounded, a dozen Of whom
may die Chief Garrity said two
policemen had been slain and thirty
one injured The fire chief said
forty alarms were answered to quench
fires in negro homes. Although fight
ing continued after the troops had
reached the stations, the disorders
subsidized within the patroled region.
Soldiers were fired upon from am
bush but none were hit.
As the soldiers swung into the
riot area the roughs who had been
looking for fights disappeared. Some
gangs sped TO territory hitherto un-
disturbed by terrorism, where they
resumed their lawlessness, but most
of the marauders retired for the
night as rain began to fall Lawabid-

within doors, fearing attacks, rushed
out to greet the soldiers Each regi-
ment was split in patrols of eight

Land LEASING
BILL SENT BACK
TO CONFERENCE
Senator La Toilette Blocks
Action on OIL, Gas and
Coal Measure by
Point of Order.

Washington, Feb. 25.-The senate
report on the oil, gas and coal land
leasing legislation was overturned
in the senate last night, a point Of
order by Senator La Toilette of
Wisconsin being sustained, which
caused the bill to be sent back to
conference. Senator Kirby or Ar
kansas, democrat, temporarily pre-
siding, made the decision.
In making his point of order
against adoption OF the report, Sena-
for La Toilette charged the con-
ferees had exceeded their authority
by inserting in the bill an amend
ment extending the provision au-
thorizing the leasing Of coal land
to include Alaska.
In defending the conferees' ac-
ton, Senator Pittman of Nevada,
chairman of the senate managers.
declared that under the provisions of
the bill as passed by the senate the
senate had, by the bills language,
intended to extend the provision to
Alaska, and denied that any new
legislation had been inserted. The
chair ruled, however, that the ex-
tension was new legislation.
Senator Pittman announced after
the chairs action, that he would
Immediately call a meeting of the
conferees to eliminate the objec-
tionable provisions so that the bill
might be reported back to both
houses without delay and an effort
made to obtain its final enactment
before the end OF the session.
