between whites and negroes spread to
all parts Of Chicago, last night the

, city authorities made no request for
troops and Governor F. o. Lowden
could order nc troops to duty.
While the state soldiers were being
held in armories. the death list mount
ed to twenty y-eight. An incorrect po-
lice report had sent it higher but in
vestigations of a report that several

Thirty fifth streets. proved 1t untrue.
The identified dead in last nights
fighting were two, both negroes Ira
Henry, 40, was shot dead when he shot
two policemen when he vas being
searched for weapons. There was some
looting OF abandoned residences and
st0resain the south side black belt and

Chicago during the night to add their
rides to the potential army which lay
at rest listening to the shots Of the

spread to other parts Of the city.
On the west side Italians attacked
negroes and in one case partly burned
the body Of one victim. On the north

as Woodlawn and Englewood fierce
lighting took place.
As the overworked police force

whites attacked the building. Altho
only two fatalities were reported from
the night orgy Of hatred the number Of
injured was greater than on any pre-

Mobs Not So Large.
Owing to. the street car strike. the
comparatively few white rioters in the
total population could not 50 conven-
iently get together last night and no
large mobs invaded the black belt. Il
was mostly guerilla warfare bu. ex-
ceedingly bitter. In other cases a few
whites would assault q building occu-
pied by negroes in the midst OF v hite
neighborhood, dragging from the build

wounds inflicted by successful home
