CHICAGO, Aug. "A result of the fire which early today destroyed SIX blocks of homes of stockyaros workers, negro labor at the yards will be barred to prevent a possible recurrence or race rioting. This announcement was made tonight after a conference or Governor Lowden and the packers.
 The stockyards had been a storm center of racial feeling during the riots of five days this week. and with the disappearance of serious outbreaks yesterday. it had been planned for the 5.OoO. negro workers to return to their posts at the yards tomorrow. But the fire, which many of the foreign work CTS who were made homeless declared was started by negroes, aggravated feeling and changed the plans.
 Although Fire Attorney McCabe de- clared many witnsses had told hlm negroes had been seen lo set fires in the neighborhood, Governor Lowden was inclined to believe that labor trou- ble rather than race feeling was re- sponsible.
 Except about the stockyards, racial feeling seemed to have subsided today. At the fire ruins militiamen were on duty as well as in the negro districts ana houses Ol Itlu5S lOA AiiC DH' hNN out families were opened in ire sta tions and schools.
 A surprise was caused today when Coroner Hoffman announced that no marks of violence had been found on the body of Eugene Williams colored youth, who was reported stoned and knocked from a raft into Lake Mhchi- gan last Sunday, precipitating the riots.
 The coroner stated the negro had not been struck by stones, but had been drowned, careful examination by 5 physician showed.
 George Stauber, white, is being held by the police on a charge of murder in connection with Williams death.
 Only a few minor disturbances oc- cured today.
 In one case a Mexicon, Theodore Garcia, supposed to have been mis- taken for a negro, was stabbed, prob- ably fatally by a white man.
 The militia will continue to guard the danger centers for several days The sheriff announced today he would send 1000 special deputies into the riot districts at once. The police stil remain on riot duty though enough men for traffic duty have been re- leased.

BRITISH UNLIKELY II LIFT BAN ON IMPORTS
 TILL LATE IN HE YEAR

LONDON. Aug 2.-The American chamber of commerce review for July says that British import restrictions are likely to be continued after Sep tember 1 when the government prom ised they would be revived. The gov ernment trade policy is expected to be announced before parliament meets August 15 Premier Lloyd George says the policy cannot be made legislative until the parliament reconvenes late in October and he considers the present import restrictions should be continued until then.
 The American chamber anticipates that restrictions affecting many lines of American goods will be modified. It has obtained concessions for the inn port of 5000 additional motor vehicles from America.
 The drop in sterling exchange it is asserted, is causing British importers to hold back American orders and whenever possible to buy in countries where the value of the pound is higher than in the United States.
 Meanwhile, the government, in con- sultation with banking and trade in- terests is preparing to re-establish British export trade by providing sterl- ing credits for the countries not in position to pay at present, by exports for essential imports, says the review.
 The compulsory scheme of standard clothing will be revived, the review goes on, to check high prices following the removal of the wool control. Food control will be continued throughout the winter, the government to super wise the purchasing, distribution and prices. More plentiful supplies than last winter are expected, but prices will be just as high.

Republican A. p. Leased Wlre1

WASHINGTON. Aug 2-Public hearing on the economic sections of the Versailles treaty virtually were com pleted today by the foreign relations committee and early next week Secre- tary Lansing probably will be Gues- toned by the committee regarding the treaty's political features.
 At todays session, Bernard M. Bar uch and F. w. Taussing, economic ad- visers to the American peace delegates, explained how the peace conference reached some of it's decisions regard ing German customs regulations and indemnity Their testimony largely was technical.
 Surface Developments Few
 The committees meeting was vir- tually the only surface development of the day in the treaty situation, the senate devoting it's attention to legis- lation and reverting to issues of the treaty fight only once. That was when, without debate or a roll call, it adopted a resolution by Senator LaF'ollette, re- publican Wisconsin. asking the presi- dent why Costa Rica twas not per- mitted to sign the treaty.
 Meantime, the under current of pri- vate discussion among Senators con- tinued to revolve about the program of four reservations presented by seven senators as basis for ratification of the league of nations. Plans were made for a conference Monday at which the sponsors of the plan hope to gain the accession of other republicans who have been friendly to the league. It was plain today that it was not the intention to try to preserve the txact form of the four reservations as the negotiations to increase the num- Der of their supporters continues. All of the seven are said to be ready to make some concessions in phraseology in order not to handicap the effort to bring into a final agreement enough republicans to hold the balance of power.
 Need 20 Republicans
 Should the number of republicans subscribing to this agreement reach 20 1t was pointed out the group would be in a position to place in the hands of the administration a definite offer to support for a reservation program in . suring ratification of the covenant Forty five democrtttic votes are re- 1 garded by the leaders of this grour as standing now for unreserved ratifi- l cation, but capable of being swung ir favor of reservations not disrupting the i league principles. The total required ' for ratification is sixty four.
 1 It developed today that the leaders | of the group of seven are making nc effort for the present to consider fea lures of the treaty other than the | league covenant. Some of them believe that the Shantung issue eventually vii 1 solve itself and that in the end serious i opposition to the treaty will be limited | to the covenant.
 | Although no decision has beer reached, members of the foreign rela l tions committee generally expect that the meetings at which Secretary Ians. ing is questioned next week will be open to the public.
