ONE DEAD, TWO INJURED
IN new YORK RACE FIGHT
Patrolman Shoots When Assaulted ;
White Man Arrested; Police
Clear Streets.

NEW YORK, September 16.-One
negro was killed, two injured and a
patrolman assaulted in a fight be-
tween negroes and whites which
broke out early this morning at 135th
street and Lennox avenue in the heart
of the negro section in this city.
Police reserves were summoned from
four stations.
The trouble was said to have start
ed when man wearing a straw hat
after the season for summer heed
gear hau closed had it torn from his
head and broken. This led to seizure
of other straw hats and what begag
as jest turned into a savage fight.
One white man soon was placed under
arrest.
The negro was shot and killed by a
police corporal in plain clothes who
said that after he had protested the
seizure OF mis- nat a crowd of negroes
lad surrounded him and raised a cry
of lynch him. The policeman said
he had been knocked to the ground
and when he rose the crowd threat
ened to assault him again. Thinking
the negroes were about to put into
execution their threat to lynch him,
he drew his service revolver and fired
twice, he said.
The police cleared the streets after
the disturbance had continued for sew
eral hours and announced that no
further trouble Was anticipated

DEPLORES THE RAISING
OF RACE ISSUE IN POLAND
Morgenthau Commission Soon to
Submit Report on Treatment
of Jews There.

PARIS, September 16.-Henry Nor
eenthau, head of the American COM
mission to investigate the treatment
of Jews in Poland, has returned to
Paris and this morning held con-
ference with the members of the
American delegation to the peace
conference. He will submit his re-
port on the investigation within q
few days. Maj. Gen. Edgar Jadwin
u. S. A.. the other member of the
commission, has gone to Kiev to con-
tinue the Investigations there.
While the Morgenthau report is in
complete, it is known that the inves-
legations of the commission did not
convince it that the Polish outrages
against Jews were inspired by the
government, as the members of the
commission feel that had official sane
ton been given to the movement the
number of victims would have been
greater.
The Morgenthau report, it is fore
cast,~will deplore the raising of the
racial issue, emphasize the view that
the separation of the Jews and the
Poles within Poland is impossible,
and lay stress upon the necessity OF
the reconciliation of the discordant
elements by mutual concessions in
the interest of the new Poland.

SHEFFIELD, Ala, September To-
Fire last night destroyed warehouse

loss being estimated at $4,000, 900. The
major portion of the loss was on cleo

The two fire companies at the plant
and the companies from Sheffield and
Florence fought the flames, but were
unable to subdue them. The fire ragged
practically all night.
The origin of the fire has not been
determined, but an official investiga-

cause.
The fire was discovered shortly be-
fore o'clock last night, an hour or
SO after the workmen had left the
building.
The building was a temporary struc-

Look With Too Critical Eye.

is that they are looking at this thing
W it'll too critical an eye as to the mere
phraseology, without remembering

no objection.
What has been evident in the last
week or two is that on the part of
some men-I believe very few-the
desire is to change the treaty, and
particularly a covenant, in way to
give America an exceptional footing.
