Chicago, July 3U.-FOllOWlnS uay
of much rioting on the south side be-
tween blacks and whites, in which
many persons were shot and at least
one killed houses occupied by colored
people set on fire, property destroyed
telephone and electric light wires cut,
plunging that portion of the city in
which the most disorder prevailed in
total darkness tonight, the decision
was reached to place Chicago under
martial law
Troops began to patrol the streets
at O'Clock tonight. Negroes are
firing on them from alleys and hous
es as they advance.
While the troops were preparing to
march from the armories, riot
broke out on Fiftieth and State
streets. Many men, negro and white
clashed, firing countless shots, the
police report said. Police reserves
were hurried to the scene.
The decision to proclaim martial
law was reached by the city officials
shortly after conference in the of
fee of Mayor William Hale Thomp-
son. AT that time 1t was decided to
make formal application to Governor
11owden for permission to place the
State troops of Illinois, of which at
least 1000 are expected to be here by
morning, in charge of Chicago's s
streets. Six thousand men were then
under arms in the various city arm
ories.
During the day various unofficial ap
peals had been made to Governor
Lowden to make use of the State
troops now in the Chicago armories,
but Mayor Thompson was disinclined
to adopt these stringent measures.
Ready to send troops in or keep
out, in accordance with the wishes of
the city's executive, were Governor
Lowden, Adjt. Gen. Dickson, and At
torney General Brundage. AS night
fell, however and the situation be-
came more threatening. the serious
ness of the situation was impressed
upon the city officials, with the result
the Adjt Gen. Frank S. Dickson was
called into the civic conference.
General Dickson Immediately be-
gan mapping out his plans to place
troops on the streets of Chicago with
the least possible delay.
The decision to place the city un-
der martial law was reached after a
three hour automobile trip through
the Black Belt by Charles Fitzmorris,
Secretary to Mayor Thompson, and
Adjt. General Dickson. They declar-
ed there was much evidence of preju-
dice and race hatred as to clearly in
dicate a resumption of rioting on a
much larger scale than therefore,
Upon their report the decision was
reached that it was imperative for
the city to establish martial law.
The placing of the soldiers on the
streets was a welcome relief to the
city policemen, who have stood the
strain of almost continuous battle
since Monday night They were
pretty nearly exhausted by their
three days and two night of practical.
ly continuous service. That was one
of the main factors in the decision tc
make use of the soldiers.

LOUIS BOTHA.

General Louis Botha, who nearly twenty years ago
fought Great Britain almost to standstill has been
one of the great figures in the World War as well.

mind won him place in the Peace Conference and
him influence which was so great as to be ut
teIy dsproportonate with the small size and relative
unimportance of the Colonial government which he,
and his South African colleague represented
Since the conclusion of the Boer war General
Botha has, unimbittered by the final defeat of his ar
mics, earnestly and periodically co-operated with the
British in the reconstruction of his country the estab

bitterness against the English conquerors The fact
that ne stood squarely against rebellion and saved
the day for England when in the early DAYS of the

ANOTHER PENDULUM SWINGS.

That the pedulum in the race unrest has begun t.
swing back toward sanity, at the time with tina
of labor, is indicated by the action of mass meet
ing of 1900 negroes Sunday night at Austin Texas
the city where John r. Shillady, the white secretary
of the National Association for the Advancement Of
Coored People, was severely beaten by several whitt
citizens few days ago. The following dispatch tells

The Negro Baptist Association which called

eleven counties in the vicinity of Austin.
A portion of the preamble 70 the resolution
declares
"Those magazines, newspapers and periodi-

Negroes here say the Austin meeting is the
beginning of n aton-wide movement to establish a

Let US hope that the day of the agtator of what

When Mile McGinnis finished the verse she leaned

from the rear of the hall said
'You got some sweet patoote, mayorn'
Mayor Walker, already deeply embarrassed, be-
