Arkansas Riot
District Quiet As
Inquiry Is Begun

Elaine, Ark, Oct. 4.-This little
town breathed easier today than at
any time since early in the week,
when race disturbances of a seri-
Gus nature burst without warning.
The relieved feeling was due large
ly to the fact that all reports from
districts where federal soldiers and
civilian officers were on duty con
tinued to be of reassuring nature.
Generally, the people here believed
the worst of the trouble was over.
However, officials were emphatic
in their assertions that there would
be no relaxation of emergency mea-
sures.
With the exception of patrols
moving about the canebrakes. there
was no outward evidence early this
morning of marked activity. Later
in the day, however, officials
planned to resume their search for
hidden firearms, of which large
quantity has been seized from ne
groes whose homes have been
searched.
Investigation of the disorders con-
tinued today.

Ride With Army Man
Lands Quartette Of
Omahans in City Jail

A well-dressed, refined and ap-
parently wealthy man wearing the
uniform of second lieutenant in
the army is alleged by quartet of
young Omahans to be responsible
for their arrest pending the investi-
CATION of stolen automobile which
was wrecked after running into the
Sommers grocery store, Twenty
eighth and Farnam streets, about
midnight last night.
Bess Horak, 6720 North Forty
fourth street; Anna Johnson, PASS
Laurel avenue; Helen Pearson, 4707
North Forty-second street, and
John Proctor, sos South Twenty
second street, were the names given
the police when the party was ar
rested.
They allege they attended a dance
at a downtown dance hall where
they became acquainted with the
lieutenant, who invited them for a
ride. He escorted them to a Stutz
touring car which police allege was
stolen in Ohio. Everything went
we'll until the machine was wrecked.
When police arrived the lieuten-
ant had disappeared.

Chicago Grain and Provisions.

Chicago, Oct. 4.-Corn advanced In
price today Notwithstanding that consid-
cradle weakness prevailed at the outset
Gossip that bill would be introduced
in congress to restore the import duty
on corn was to some extent responsible
for the advance. Prices closed firm, u
@1Ac, net higher. with December s1.24
@1.24A and May s1.22@1.22b. Oats
gained @S0&c. In provisions, the
outcome ranged from soc decline to
rise of soc.
The downward tendency shown by the
corn market around the opening appeared
to be due chiefly to fear of Argentine
competition and to uncertainty over Presi-
dent Wilson's illness. Selling however
was not aggressive, and sentiment quick
ly changed in favor of the buying side
Activity of seaboard demand for oats was
the first strengthening factor Then came
more or less optimistic reports about the
president and still later the talk of a
bill IL enacted which would decidedly
handicap any shipments of Argentine corn
to the United States. Lightness Of coun-
try offerings operated also as bullish
influence before the market closed.
Big sales to the seaboard lifted the
oats market The effect. though was
subsequently counterbalanced in a mea-
sure by weekend realizing. Provisions
averaged higher owing to packers inces-
rant bidding for January lard

Central Swamps Team
From Council Bluffs
By Score Of 40 to 0

On muddy field at Rourke park
Central High took revenge on the
lads of Council Bluffs by trimming
them to the tune of 40 to 0. The
game was Central's the entire way.
Centraps goal was never in danger
of being crossed. "Tex" Robertson
again played the stellar part for
Central.
At the initial blow of the referees
whistle Wilcox of Council Bluffs

Robertson, who returned it for 10
yards. After heavy penalizations for
oftslde and incomplete passes Cen

forced to punt. The quarter ended

Only three minutes had passed be-
fore Central crossed the goal of its
opponents. A three-man pass was
responsible for this. Robertson
kicked goal.
Robertson again kicked off to
Council Bluffs, who were blocked in
their tracks. Wilmarth, of Central.
intercepted a pass and carried the
ball near the poles, only to be COM
pletely carried over in the next
play by Swoboda. Texas kicked
the ball between the posts.
Line smashing and end runs were
responsible for the yards gained by
Central in the next play. The half
ended with the ball again in Cen
trails possession, and the score at
20 to 0, Central warriors holding
the long end.
To start the third quarter. Rob-
ertson kicked off to the Iowans'
who failed to register any yards.

the punt and returned it for 10
yards. Coach Mulligan tn e
sent in Weston to relieve Ander-
SON and Clement for Ayers. Will
marth ran around the right end for
Is yards, Robertson placed the ball
under his arm and carried it between
the poles. Robertson failed to kick
the goal.

by Willmarth, Swoboda and Robert
son accounted for another touch
down. Robertson kicked the goal.

score $50.

Chesno. Robertson received a pass
from Campbell and carried it for Is
yards. MAXWELL was sent in for

Bluffs Rotary Club
Adopts Resolutions
On Riot in Omaha

Omaha mob frenzy was discussed
at the weekly meeting of the
Council Bluffs Rotary club, and a
committee, of which Emmett FINLEY
was chairman, was instructed to
present the clubs views in relation
TO the attack upon Mayor Smith,
who was the speaker at the club
last week. This resolution met the
approval of every member:
Resolved. by the members of the
Rotary club of Council Bluffs, that
we express to Hon. Ed Smith, may
Or Of Omaha, our deep appreciation
of his very splendid and inspiring
address, stimulating our higher
ideas, of duty and citizenship, de-
livered at our last meeting. In this
connection we deplore the fact that
so soon thereafter he should be
called upon to exemplify the duty
OF the citizen to meet a tragic mo-
ment, when his ideas, so eloquently
expressed, were to be put to the
supreme test. We congratulate the
people of this country for the les
sons presented by Mayor Smith in
his courage and determination to
uphold law and order. We COM
mend his high ideas of citizenship,
his unfaltering devotion to duty and
his courageous purpose to uphold
the law. With feelings of humilia-
ton, we regret that a determined
stand for law and its enforcement
in the defense of life and property
might possibly entail a personal
hazard to any one in any part of
free America. We have, however,
faith that the ideas and purposes so
courageously exemplifed by Mayor
Smith have been so impressed upon
the people as to assure vindication
Of the law by the certain punish
ment of his law-defying assailants.
We rejoice over the speedy recov-
cry of Mayor Smith and wish for
him many years of usefulness.
