TROOPS
NOT CALLED On
To ACT AS YET
Governor Lowden Hesitates to
Order Soldiers to Take
Charge of City

] n SNOFtVISH
| CHICAGO, July so-Bitter fighting
| between whites and negroes spread
| last night to all parts of Chicago, cas-
ualties being more numerous than at
any previous period in the racial war.
| City authorities made no call for
| troops and in the absence of such re-
quest Governor Frank o. Lowden
could not order the soldiers to take
| charge, although with the arrival of
two more regiments 5000 well armed
men were resting on their arms.
The death list has mounted to
! twenty-seven. The authenticated
death rate last night were two ne
groes. One more victim was added to
the toll of deaths caused by injuries
received in the rioting. A white youth
who was shot In the abdomen in q
fight with negroes died today.
Fourteen negroes and I thirteen
whites have been killed since the
| fighting began.
Whites and negroes during the riot
| last night slashed each other with
| knives shot from ambush or ran down
isolated members of the other race
and beat them into insensibility. There
was some looting on abandoned resi-
dences and stores in the south side ne
gro belt and number of small fires
were ascribed to incendiaries.
According to police figures fifteen
negroes and twelve whites have been
Killed since the rioting began. The
police struggled vainly to clear the
rioters from the south side negro
I quarter, and early last night appar-
emily succeeded-only to find that the
| mob spirit had spread to other re-
gions
On the west side whites attacked
| negroes and in one case partly burn
ed the corpse of victim with gaso-
line. On the north side fighting pro-
ceeded for several hours in the resi-
Dental sections, known as Wood
lawn and Englewood on the far south
SIDE fierce fighting took place.
Outbreaks occurred with regularity
and although only one fatality was
reported from the nights orgy Of
hatred, the number of severely hurt
was greater than on Monday night,
probably dozen suffering fatal hurts.
The whites again seemed to be the
| more aggressive, the negroes having
been converted to peace by saner
members of their race, or cowed by
the brutal beatings sustained by
scores.
Nearly 5000 employees of the city
were laid off by official order owing
to the riots.
Police reports today stated that
during the spasmodic fighting of the
night the torch had been applied to
eleven houses in the west end of the
negro belt.

ARREST BAKERS
IN CRUSADE BY
HEAL I'll BOARD
Charles Eisner Fined $50 on z
Counts---Other Cases Are
Continued

The Health Boards crusade against
unsanitary bakery shops in this city
went into effect today when five bakers
were summoned before Recorder Pick
ersgill in the police court.
Charles Eisner of 223 Hall avenue
was fined $50 on two counts charging
that the food in his store was contami-
mated by an improper waste pipe from
the sewer and that the floor, walls
utensils, ETC., were not clean. Eisner
was in court on the same charges just
two months ago and promised at that
time that he would clean up. He told
the court at that time that he was
about to move into new shop that
would be the most sanitary in town.
He gave the same excuse this morning,
but failed to convince the recorder.
A warrant for the arrest of Hyman
Bender. whose bakery is at 100 Wayne
street was ordered served by the court
today, Bender to be confined in the
city Jail until his case can be heard,
for failure either to appear or give
the court any notice this morning.
Summons were served on the man yes
him to answer the complaint in regu-
lar way.
The cases against three other bakers
were continued until week from to-
day. Andrew J. Wight. representing
Alexander Pasament, proprietor of the
City Bakery. sc Smith street. claimed
that the unusually damp weather on
July 18th, the day the health officer
made his last inspection, had made it
almost impossible for a man in any
business to keep his place neat and
attractive. He said that would also
account for the water which was re-
ported to be leaking in through the
cellar walls
Pasament said that he had two boys
who washed the pans for him and that
they scraped and washed them every
night after work. He denied that they
were dirty.
When the health inspector came to
the charges that there, were fourteen
pans of cake on the counter covered
with flies, the recorder asked for statis-
ties. How many flies were there per
square inch, Mr. Wilhelm 2" And then
even the court smiled. The case was
postponed until next week when the
two wash-boys will be In court.
Hearings for r. Pensler, of 619
Elizabeth street and G. Faraci, of 3S1
Washington street, were carried over
until next Wednesday.

An Indispensable Worker for
Health and Well Being Of
City, Says Miss Ehrlicher

That the residents of city should
regard the district nurse not as an

the proper education and training of
it's children" Miss Ehrlicher said.

ture on district nursing. Miss Rut-
land, district superintendent of child
hygiene, was also a guest. Practical

part in the discussion. Mrs. Adrian

and mentioned the results that havo
been obtained so far by the bureau
which has been stationed att the IL

women and mothers In the district

ceeded the ability of the staff to meet
the demands.
