Poland is considering the matter
OF peace with the Bolsheviki soviet

not seem to be anything else TO do.
There is little chance of meeting

the Allies would not put any obsta-
Gle in the way of such a peace if it
would seem best to make it. II

GRAHAM, N c.. July 20 (by the
Associated Press) Following the
killing of a citizen and the woundfne
of two others here last night as the
result of an exchange OF shots be-
tween militiamen and masked men
who fired on the Jail, where soldiers
were guarding three negroes arrested
on suspicion of having attacked .
prominent white woman here last
Saturday, the troops removed the
negroes by special train to the state
penitentiary at Raleigh early today
The man killed and those injured
were in no way connected with the
mob or militia.
Capt. Marion Fowler OF the Durham
Machine Gun Company stated today
that he did not give his men orders
to fire until after q dozen or more
bullets had been fred at the jail by
persons hidden in a cornf1eId which
almost surrounds the Jail yard
Several members of the mob. ac-
cordng to Capt. Fowler. came near
enough to the building for the sol
diers to see the masks on their faces

The guardsmen retreated to their
machine gun positions when a num-
Der of shots were fired at the jail.
some of which came dangerously near
hitting several soldiers, who imme-
into the cornfield. 1t is believed one
of these bullets killed James Ray.
About o'clock last night. Jolly
Moser. son of the TALLER, rushed into
Willie Phillips restaurant and told
those gathered there that the lights
in the Jail had gone out. and asked
that some one go to the prison and
see If anything had happened to his
father.
Phillips, Glenn Bradshaw. James
Ray and the Moser boy Immediately
started toward the Jail. only a block
away.
AS they neared the prison a volley
of machine gun bullets tore through
wounded. Phillips was shot through
the leg and Bradshaw received a
slight flesh wound
Capt. Fowler is of the opinion that
some in the mob were injured. but
no trace of them could be found after
the firing. He says he and his men
heard groans from various parts OF
the cornfield. Altogether about two
hundred shots were fired by the
militiamen, including both machine
gun and automatic pistols.
After the order was given to cease
firing several automobiles filed with
men raced past the Jail and fired
volleys into the building. but these
soldiers Nobody in the Jail was in
jured.
The shooting attracted almost a
thousand persons to the Jail, and when
it was learned that Ray was killed

streets.
On account Of the intense feeling
against the soldiers caused by the
killing Of Ray. and the fact that the
mob seemed to be determined to get
possession of the negroes at all
hazards, the authorities deemed it ad-
vfsable to remove the negroes to
Raleigh. A special train was ordered
from Greensboro, and the negroes,
guarded by the soldiers, were taken
to Raleigh at o'clock this morning

WORK IS COMMENCED
ON ROTH APARTMENTS
Plans Call for Building of Twenty
Apartments of Three, Four and
Five RoomS-Modern Con-
yeniences Throughout

Work was started Monday of this
week on the big apartment house to
be constructed by Frank V. Roth and
will be rushed to completion to take
care OF the fall rush for houses. The
new apartment house, under the
plans prepared by Architect William
Swain and accepted by Mr.. Roth, will
make provision for housing 20 fam
lilies. The structure will be erected
at the corner of Oak and Star Route
streets, claimed by experts to be one
of the best locations in the city for
the purpose. Il will rush the build
ing as fast as | can get men and ma
terial on the job" said Mr.. Roth yes
terday, and hope to make it one
of the most complete and best apart
ment houses in the Inland Empire"
The new building will be 6Ox100
feet, of three stories. 1t will include
IL fiye-room apartments, six apart
ments of four rooms and three three
room apartments. The five-room
apartments will include two bed
rooms, dining room, living room and
kitchen, and all the apartments will
have bath room facilities. The first
and second floors will be given over
entirely to the four and five room
apartments
Each of the flats will have a buff
fet kitchen and all modern built-in
features, with steam heat throughout.
The basement will be utilized for
boiler and fuel rooms, drying room,
laundry and store rooms.
AS soon as announcement was
made two weeks ago that Mr.. Roth
will construct the apartment house,
applications forsrooms began to come
in, and several of the apartments are
already rented. Some small families
have announced that they will occupy
apartments and rent their large
houses to larger families, thus assist
ing in solving the rooming situation.
