Cleveland, May 1.--Rioting here, to-
day, resulted in the killing of one
unidentified man by detectives bull
let, eleven policemen being shot or
badly beaten, and about one hundred
persons being wounded, many of
them seriously It was a dramatic
finale to Socialist May day demon
stration here.
About 80 persons, seriously injured,
are in hospitals tonight while scores
of others, including women, were
trampled by rioters and dubbed by
police.
Socialist headquarters was totally
wrecked by angry civilians bent on
putting an end to the demonstration.
Sixty of the rioters were arrested.
A score were found to have weapons
on them, police say.
The trouble in the Public square
started when Lieutenant II. S. Ber-
gan. who had served with the SOth
division overseas, demanded that sew
eral soldiers among the Socialists ON
the platform remove their uniforms
or the red flags they wore on their
breasts.
The soldiers refused and c. e. Ruth
enberg, scheduled as the principal
Socialist speaker, interceded for the
Socialists.
Lieutenant Bergen, followed by
Lieutenant John Hardy of Detroit,
then mounted the platform and tore
the red insignia from the khaki Uni
forms. The act was the signal for a
grand rush by thousands of Socialist
+ sympathizers.
Mounted police, who had rushed
away to other riot calls. dashed back

gress here has formally begun its ses-
sion. The eventful day which the
world had awaited since the signing
of the armistiee on November II last
year has at last arrived.
The German peace delegates have
met the representatives CT the allied
and associated powers at the Tri-
anon palace and across the green
baize table have carried out the first
preliminary which probably will
mean return to actual peace in the
not far distant future.
This preliminary was the handing
to the representatives OF the allied
and associated powers by the Ger
mans of their credentials, certifying
their right to act for Germany in ac-
cepting the peace treaty which later
is to be given them outlining the
terms which the peace conference in
Paris has decreed Germany shall
meet in order to secure that peace
and a return to normal conditions
which Germany has professed she
desires so ardently Similar creden-
tials of the allied and associated
representatives then were handed to
the Germans.
Scarcely five minutes were taken
I'D with the procedure The formali-
ty of addresses was entirely dis
pensed with. When the brief cere-
mony ended the Germans Immediately
left the Trianon palace for their place
of residence.

function. Neither did VI Clemenceau,
the French premier, nor David Lloyd

MUNRO BROWN:
WILL RETURN SOON

Charles s.. Sprague received a
cable from Lieutenant Munro S.
Brown today, saying he would en-
bark Sunday on the steamship Mat
sonia, which should put him in
New York about April 20.
Lieutenant Brown has had a
notable experience during his army
career. He was sen to France
over a year ago, after intensive
training for the ordnance depart
ment at the Rock Island arsenal,
and was given further technical
training in the "big gum depart
ment in a French school. He was
then assigned to an ordnance re-
pair company, and with two other
officers had charge Of a company
of AZ men, whose business 1t was
to keep the heavy artillery and
machine guns In repair. The com
pany had three travelling machine
shops. mounted on great trucks;
these trucks went up and down the
firing line looking after the trou-
bles of the gunners. This kept
Lieutenant Brown up front all the
time, and his life was in jeopardy
most of the time. He had his gas
mask and dug-out and hair-raising
experiences, but of the latter Lieu
tenatn Brown says very little to
his home people, they learning of
the facts through other sources.
His services we're appreciated by
his superiors, evidently, as recently
he was promoted to the rank of
first lieutenant.
1t will be several weeks before
Lieutenant Brown is mustered out
and returns to Goldfield, but when
he does arrive at his old home he
will be given a cordial welcome, as
he was one of the most popular
men who joined the colors
from Goldfield.

AN IMPORTANT 4.
FACTOR IN CUTTING
SHOE EXPENSE

Many months of comfort at little
expense" is the wav Charles A. Pear
son of San Diego. California, sums up
his experience with NeoIin Soles. Mi.
Pearson had two pairs of shoes re-
soaed with Ne0lin Soles, and after
wearing them for twenty months
writes Il will have to get new shoes
sometime, but 30 far as the soles arc
concerned, that time seems as far
distant as when they were new"
This is typical of the experience
millions are having with Ne0lin Soles.
Created by Science to be durable,
flexible and waterproof, these soles
are an important factor in cutting
shoe expense. You can get them on
new shoes for the whole family, and
for residing. They are made by The

FEY ALREADY Sc
LECTED

SAN FRANCISCO, April IL. =
Unless he becomes homesick or
subject to a "temperamental" up
set in the meantime, William Mee-
han, the local heavyweight boxer,
who has acquired the record of
meeting more Of the dangerous
men Of the ring than n other
fighter on the Pacific coast, will
entertain the eastern followers Of
boxing for a couple of months.
Meehan has been generous in
giving his services to various war
time benefits and he has been
unique in that he never has ques-
toned who he was going to fight.
but was willing to go on with any
match which was made. That his
work has been cut out for him by
the matchmakers is best indicated
by the fact that among those whom
he fought we're Jack Dempsey,
Fred Fulton, Sam Langford and
JEFF Clarke. He defeated all of
this 1uartette with the exception
of Fulton, who twice was awarded
the decision over Meehan.
Among the men thus far select
ed to meet Meehan on his eastern
trip are Billy Miske at st. Paul and
Jimmy Coffey in Philadelphia.
Meehan has the reputation of not
being a very hard hitter and his
only blow is a wide swinging
punch, but his unusual methods
when in the ring not only BATTLE
his opponents, but afford a unique
entertainment for the spectators.
