Captain Charles Hesketh Of Rolla
was visitor in town yesterday. Cap
tain Hesketh left here with Co. G
Of Rolla. At Camp Greene he was
assigned to Co. L Of Hillsboro when
the Second North Dakota was made
part of the 41st Division. He went
overseas with this organization and
when the 164th was changed to tile
Depot Brigade, Lieut.. Hesketh was
assigned to the army school at Lam
gres. In August, 1918, that organiza-
ton was made a service battalion
and assigned permanently to the
schools at Langres. In December,
Lieut.. Hesketh received his captain
cy and was put in comand Of the 3rd
Co. Service Battalion at Langres.
Although Capt. Hesketh had had
no military training previous to his
entrance to the army, through dill
gent study he becare one of the most
efficient and able of officers. He was
popular with his men and built up
a remarkable esprit de corps among
a group Of unframed men and Of men
who had been wounded, some so b. ..ly
that they were really unfit for any
work at all. "

SPORADIC FIRING CONTINUED
IN WASHINGTON NEGRO RIOTS
Closing of Pool Rooms and Pic
ture Houses Helps Keep
Order - Sale of Arms and
Ammunition Stopped - Mil
tary Practically Ia Control.
(By The Associated Press.)

Washington, July 23.-Sporadic fir
ing in some negro districts continu-
ed until early this morning, but the
major casualties Of last nights clash
es between whites and negro show
only one white man killed and anoth-
er fatally wounded.
Scores were injured from blows,
fists, clubs, stones and the welding
of knives.
The man killed last night, and the
one seriously wounded, were both
members of the defense guard. They
were shot de'rr on the streets bv
negroes.
Despite the fact that the capitol is
an armed camp, the fourth nj ght of
the race warfare was less violent than
Monday.
All night it rained and the presence
Of 1000 heavily armed soldiers, mar
ines and sailors doing duty with the
police land several hundred home de.
fense guard, acted as a deterrent to
mob violence.
The closing of pool rooms moving
picture houses and other places where
crowds of negroes might gather,
helped to keep order. .
Revised figures early today for the
period of disorder, showed five dead
and at least ten fatally wounded.
Hundreds have been left with serious
hurts and the jails and hospitals are
literally overflowing.
Sales of firearms and ammunition
have been stopped and the military is
practically in control.

WELL KNOWN
EDITOR DIES
AT CRAFT TON
E. H. Pierce, Creator Of "Poi-
son Carrots" Died Last Eve
ming.

Grafton, N. D., July %. - E. H.
Pierce, for about twenty years owner
and publisher of the Walsh County
Record, died at his home in this city
Monday evening after long illness.
Mr.. Pierce had been in very poor
health for many years, and during the
past year made trip to Florida, but
returned to Grafton early in the
spring practically an invalid. His
death was not unexpected. He was
about IS years Of age.
ED" Pierce was at one time we'll
known over the northwest as humor-
GUS writer, and was the creator OF the
famous "Hits and Miss" column which
ran for years in the Record, and in
which figured the characters known
as "Poison Carrotsp' and his hired
man. Through the wide publicity of
this column, Mr.. Pierce was given the
most flattering offers by metropolitan
dailies, but he refused them.
In 1907 he sold the Walsh County
Record to Grant S. Hager, the pres
a.; proprietor, and later established
{; mall job office here which he had
to discontinue on account of failing
health. He had been prominent in
Masonic circles and in public affairs,
serving at one time as postmaster in
Grafton.
Mr.. Pierce is survived by his wife
and two sons, Charles Pierce of Man.
dan and Clifford Pierce, who resides
Iowa. Three sisters, Mrs. Fuller,
Mrs. Springer and Mrs. Moulton, all
veil known here, reside in Minneapo-
is.
The funeral which will be held i'm
der the auspices Of the Masonic lodge
of this city, has not been fully ar
ranged, and will not, take place until
the two sons can reach here.

Charles Bryan Back
From Service Overseas

Charles Bryant returned last night
after two years absence, most of
which was spent with the A. E. f. in
France. Charlie left here with Co.
D of the Second North Dakota, part
of which was amalgamated with the
164th at Camp Green, N. C. With
the large majority of the Devils Lake
men he was assigned to Co. l. Of Hills
boro. With this organization he en-
barkeu Tor i r:.l1.o.
AT LaCortine, when the 41st Divi-
sion was made a replacement division,
Charlie had the disappointment of
seeing his organization broken up,
part of them going to the front, while
he remained with the skeleton organ
ization consisting of officers and nom
CONS who were assigned to the A.
E. F. schools situated Chattilon-sur-
Siene. They remained here until
March, 1918, when his battalion of the
164th was assigned to the schools at
Langres and here they remained un-
til February, 1919, training men who
were sent to the front.
Langres is an old fortified town
of the French second line of defense.
Many of the Notifications have been
there since the days Of the crusaders
and the place is rich in tales of an
cient history. Langres is one of the
few towns not occupied by the Ger
mans in 1871.
Mr.. Bryant's organization landed at
about the same time the British dirig-
ible, R-34 and they were detained at
Camp Mills to guard it.

Plans Formulated for Their
Participation in Work Of Or

Especial Correspondence)


The first state gathering of the H.
linois Republican women was held in
Chicago on Tuesday. District chair
men already appointed by Col. Frank
L. Smith, of Dwight, ILL.,, chairman of
the Republican state central commit
tee, were called to a luncheon and
conference by Mrs. Fletcher Dobyns,
state chairman.
Plans were formulated for so thor
ough an organization that eventually
a "block system" will be perfected to
assure an accurate canvass in each
community. AS soon as the list Of
district chairmen is completed county
chairmen will be named who will in
turn be assisted by township and city
chairman. Thus, by early winter, it
is planned to have at least $4,000 Ill
inois women actively engaged in the
Republican campaign.
District Chairmen
Among the district chairman who
participated in the Tuesday session
are Mrs. John T. Mason, Aurora;
Mrs. John X. Ball ,Carm; Miss Anne
Forsythe, Mrs. Leonard Brundage,
Mrfs. Irene Pease Mantonya, and Mrs.
Myrtle Tanner Blackledge, Chicago;
Mrs. Douglas Harvey, Dixon; Mrs.
Ernest D. Griffin, Grant Park; Mrs.

E. McMIhon, Olney; Mrs. Alice O.
Curraa, Macomb; Mrs. Walter Forbes.
Rockford; Mrs. H. M. Dunlap, Savoy,
and Miss Sallie Perkins, Springfield.
Mrs. Medill Mccormick Republican
national leader will be the chief
speaker.
Mrs. Dobyns' Views
Politics demand the same whole
souled support as did the war, in the
opinion of Mrs. Dobyns, who was an
ardent worker in the Red Cross and
headed the speakers bureau in Liber-
ty Loan campaigns.
"The greatest antidote for bolshe-
vism is the patriotic interest that
home-loving women, as we'll as men,
can display in their use of the bal
lot," she declares. e -~e
Aside fraa1 the women chairmen
there willabe no separate organiza-
ton for women in the Republican
ranks, the leaders believing that the
heartiest cooperation is secured thru
"fifty-ffty" working basis.
