RACE RIOTS PUT
CAPITAL IN STIR
Many Negroes Are in Hospital
Following Night of Wild
Disorder


and hospital records today showed
scores of negroes were injured in the
widespread clashes between whites
and. negroes here last night. More
than a dozen negroes, son'e of them
suffering from severe beatings at the
hands of mobS, were treated at nos
pitfalls and scores were cared for at
their homes.
The rioting which began shortly az
ter 10 o'clock, lasted until early TINS
morning and although many arrests
were made so widely scattered were
the outbreaks that the police and a
detail of provost guards were unable
to cope with the situation. Riot calls
came in from several sections in rapid
succession and the entire police re-
serve was kept on the jump practl-
cally all night.
Most of the injured negroes were
set upon singly or in pairs, put the
more serious of the clashes were be-
tween mobs and negroes VINO assem-
bled in crowds at several points. CLUBS
and stones were used Freely put nc
firearms.
At times the mob reached the pro-
| portions of q thousand or more per
sons and in numbers, policemen who
sought to aid negro victims of the at,
tack were overwhelmed. In severa
instances negroes were pulled from
street cars and beaten into uncon-
sciousness. Soldiers. sailors and ma
rines were said by the police to have
been leading in the disorders.

Bella KUN OUSTED AS HEAD
Of SOVIET RULE IN HUNGARY

military terms is that Austria must
not have a larger army than 10000
men, voluntarily enlisted, conscrip-
ton being abolished. AS to repara-
ton, the treaty provides that Austria
shall accept responsibility, together
with her allies, for the losses which
the allied powers and their nationals
suffered through the war. Because
of Austria's limited resources, how
ever, she is only asked to undertake.
to make compensations for damage
done to civilians and their property,
I, the A'eosiireIaents< being similar to
those of the German treaty. No spe-
cific amount of damages is named.
This will be determined by the repa-
ration commission set up by the Ger
man treaty, special section of
which will take the Austrian situa-
tion in hand.
Notification of the amount is to be
given Austria before May 1, 1921, and
period of thirty years is allowed for
payment in installments, although a
reasonable sum must be paid next
year and the first four months of 1921.
The remaining payments are to be
taken care of by a bond issue. Pro-
vision is made for restoration by Aus
tria of the areas she invaded and re-
placement in kind of materials taken
or destroyed.
The provisions regarding the pre-
war debt of Austria are rather COM
plex Each of the states of the for
mer dual monarchy, however, must
assume part of this debt, the repara-
ton commission to fix the amount. II
is stipulated that the Republic OF
Austria alone is responsible for the
war debts held outside the former
empire.

Strike Hits Industries

BIZ Associated Press.
LONDON. July 21:-A staggering
blow has been struck the Sheffield
industries by the strike in the York
the Evening News from Suffield to-
day. Thousands of hands were
thrown out of work this morning by
the stoppage of the engineering work
in Suffield, which announced that be-
cause of shortage of coal will remain
closed until the end of the strike.
Before the end of the week it is fear
ed that all of the large works will be
shut down, the advices add.
A large number of surface workers
at the mines in South Wales are also
on strike for the same shorter hours
as those granted the miners and for
extra pay for week ends. A number
of other strikes in various parts of
the coal fields are reported. One col
liery in South Wales has been closed
because of alleged hard treatment of
the men, while at another colliery the
men are striking for the maintenance
of the custom by which they were
supplied with coal at nominal prices
for their homes. A general strike
the dispatch states, is threatened on
this question.
1t was pointed out that proposed
increase of six shillings per ton for
coal, announced by the government,
will make the best quality cost So
shillings six pence in London, with a
bottom price of 46 shillings six pence.
AS protest against the increase
of six shillings in the price of COAL
which came into effect today follow
ing the refusal of the miners fedora
ton to accept compromise on the
wage and other questions, thousands
of miners in the Mansfield district Of
Nottinghamshire refused to go down
into the pits this morning. The men
in other districts are expected to do
likewise despite the recommendation
by the federation in all districts that
work be continued until the govern
ment settles the question of peace
rates growing out of the increase ip
the coal price.
Some 100000 miners likewise are
out in Yorkshire for an increase in
wages.

COPS TRIAL To
CAUSE SPLIT?
Matter Will Be Taken Up To-
night by the Board OF
Aldermen

Two matters of unusual Importance
come before the Board of Aldermen
at their regular session tonight the
recommendations and action on the
charges against the two policemen
tried last week, Patrolmen Under
hill and Koscielniak, and the adop-
ton. of rules and regulations TO De
added to the jitney ordinance.
Rumor has it that there VIII be
split on the report to be made by the
Police Committee, composed of Alder
men Wilson, Waters and Riedy. ON
the one hand there are those who are
determined to put and end to further
laxity on the police force and or the
other are those who believe that len
iency should be extended the men.
Mayor Dorsey has reiterated his state
ment that something decisive must be
done and that further whitewashine
of the members of the police force
cannot be tolerated.
Which side will win when the
whistle is blown tonight is at pres
ent a matter for conjecture.

40 APPLY HERE
FOR RENEWALS
Of LICENSES
Will Be Acted Upon at Next
Meeting of the Excise
Board

About forty applications for re-
newals of liquor licenses have been
received by John Hanson, clerk of
the Excise Commission, despite the
threatened enactment of enforce
ment laws on the prohibition ques-
ton.
July and August are naturally the
heavy months for receiving applica-
tions for licenses but it was thought
that prohibition would cause many
of the dealers to refrain from. at
tempting to continue in business. The
! reports indicate that many dealers
expect to continue in business de-
spite the wartime prohibition act
The Excise Board. acted upon about
forty additional applications at its
last meeting. The applications will
be advertised tomorrow, the last day
before the next meeting August 5.
The reported denial by u. S. Mar
shal Bollschweiler of his statement
that orders had been received from
Washington to cause the arrest of all
persons selling 2.75 per cent. beer,
could not be confirmed in this city
today, the marshal having left town
early this morning.
The EVENING NEWS did not say
that Marshal Bollschweiler had re-
ceived orders himself, but under
stood him to say in an interview Sat-
urday morning that orders had been
received by the agents IN this state.
If the EVENING NEWS was mis-
taken as to the marshal's staten ent
it is nevertheless a fact that the De-
partment of Justice has never recog-
nized the 2.75 beer as nonintoxicat-
ing and that the orders attributed to
the marshal Saturday would simply
have been repetition of those of
July l.
