FIRING LINE, over FIFTY DEAD
'Ps HAVE BEEN CALLED TO PLACE OF TRo,
lotng Started When Party Negroes Attempted Storm
Jail and Secure Release of Ngro Charged With Assaultns
White GirlNeary Ten Square Blocks Negro Section
Is Blazing and Fighting Continues Throughout City

AS the dawn broke 60 or 20 meteor
cars filled with armed white men
formed a circle completely around
the negro section. Half a dozen air
planes circled over head. There was
much shouting and shooting. A row
of houses along the railway tracks
was fred. "A party of rifemen were
reported to be shooting at negroes
they saw and firing into houses
Negroes were said to be returning
fire.
Firing came from a spot where
throughout the early morning 500
white men and 1000 negroes faced
each other across the railway track
First reports to police .headquar-
ters said the bodies of or 10 neg
roes lay in a space described as no
mans land" There was a report
three railway switchmen and brake
man were shot to death The train
men killed it was reported because
they refused opermit members of
opposing crowds to ride on a switch
engine passing through lines The
engineer made his escape.
Officials had hoped with the com
ing of dawn the rioting which had
come with the arrest of negro yes
terday for an alleged attack on a
white girl would die out. On the con-
trary in the early morning gun fire
taken as indication of riot had been
renewed. The negro was taken to the
courthouse and lodged in the Jail
on the upper floor. Early in the
night motor cars containing armed
negroes appeared on the street head

zoo negroes surrounded the building.
Armed white men COON appeared.

TWENTY PER CENT
MORTGAGE ON ALL
GERMAN PROPERTY
PLANS ARE SUGGESTED
Plan Provides for Progressive
Liquidation by Selling State
Mortgages and Reparation
Participation Shares Abroad
as Fast as it is Possible on the
Foreign Markets.

Berlin, June 1.-The German peo-
pie are due for a shock on Wednes-
day when Chancellor Wirth in the
Reichstag discloses the details of the
closely guarded mystery as to how
Germany expects to foot the repara
tions bill. AS beginner, 20 per cent
of Germany's national wealth will be
virtually confiscated at once by the
State for the reparations account if
the radical plans prepared by the
Economics Ministry are adopted by
the Government substantially as now
drafted.
The new Government of fulfill
ment," as it is cynically named by its
reactionary, nationalistic foes, is
sweating blood in almost continuous
Cabinet meetings, trying to reach a
decision on a financial and economic
program for fulfilling the reparations
obligations, seeking to harmonic the
rival plans prepared by the Econo-
mics and Finance Ministries. AS
result of the Cabinets far-reaching
u0IlO0rdL1OuS a IlOcK Oh new state
monopolies and taxes is certainly i'm
pending.
The most interesting novelty, pro-
bably, will be 20 per cplt. "repara-
tion mortgage" on all real estate.
Under this plan property will be as
sessed at it's full preWar value and
then converted into paper mark val
uation at the rate of fifteen paper
marks to one gold mark, the 20 per
cent. of the resultant amount will be
appropriated by: the State as bond
and mortgage against the property.
AS a practical example, a junker
agricultural estate worth 100000
marks before the war will now be
valued at 100000 marks. The State
will saddle it with 100000 mark re-
paration mortgage. AS regards city
real estate. the plan calls for clap
ping on a 800 per cent. increase over
prewar rentals, unable solely for pay
ing interest on the corresponding re-
paration mortgage.

RATES. REVISION
Inter State Commerce Commits
sion Enters Informal Confer
ence Regarding Changes

Washington, June 1.-Downward
revision of railway rates particular
ly of those on necessities was dis
cussed by Harding today with mem
bers of the inter state commerce
commission at an informal confer
ence to the commission headquarters.
The President is understood to have
been assured the whole subject is
under review by the commission.
President Harding inquired par
ticularly about the prospect for
modification of the rates for fruits.
He is making considerable progress
on the plan for obtaining vo1un-
tary reduction in some rates by con-
certed action on the part of the car
rfers.

JURY FROM ROWAN
TO TRY DIR. PEACOCK

Lexington, June 1.-The state won
the first round of its case against DR..
J. w. Peacock, prominent Thomas
Vile physician, charged with the
murder of Chief of Police J. r.
Taylor, of Thomasville, April 16,
when Judge r. B. Finley, presiding
over Superior court, issued an or
der yesterday afternoon directing and
a special venir of 100 be brought
here Monday morning from Rowan
county. Twelve of the 100 will be
chosen to compose the jury in whose
hands the fate of the Thomasville
doctor will rest. The judges order
came as a result of an affidavit
signed by Solicitor J. C. Bower, in
which he declared that in his opin-
in it would be impossible for the
state to procure a fair and impartial
hearing of the cause with a jury
from Davidson county.

been turned into prison camps.

SHOOTS HIS WIFE AND
THEN KILLS HIMSELF.

Salisbury, June 1.-This city was
shocked yesterday afternoon as it has
not been shocked in years by the
discovery of double tragedy in the
home of John Wright Davis, a local
bank official. Mr.. Davis and his wife
were found in bed and a pistol still
gripped in Mr.. Davis hand together
with the orderly condition OF the
home made an inquest unnecessary
Mr.. and Mrs. Davis had been mar
ried about eight years and during
most of the time Mrs. Davis had been
in poor health, being an invalid in
recent months. Mr.. Davis loving
devotion to her had been a thing of
common knowledge and comment
among neighbors and friends.
Just when and how the tragedy oc-
Cured will probably never be known.

WAGE INCREASE OF
LAST YEAR IS CUT
Estimated Six Hundred Million
Increase Cut Nearly Four
Hundred Million.

Chicago, June ately
of the wage increases
which were granted railway EN-
ployees last July by the board were
ordered deducted to begin July 1,
was announced in a board decision
today.
Of the increase last year of six
hundred million per year for rail-
road workingmen nearly $40O,OOO,-
900 will be cut it is estimated by the
reduction directed by the board.
In the case of the general class Of
maintenance Of way laborers. the en-
tire increase of cents an hour was
withdrawn, while in others Of the
class showing larger number of en-
ployees cuts ranged from 13 to
and from 10 to 6 cents an hour as
compared with the war award of last
July.
1t was understood general work
of the commission had gone much
further than information hitherto
given to the public had indicated.
Details have not been made public.
Although wage cuts are to apply
only on the 104 roads which had filed
petitions for decreases the board said
application filed from other roads
would cause the reductions to go into
effect on those lines.
The decreases it was estimated
would eventually affect two million
men. The general average decrease
was placed at II per cent as compar-
ed with 21 per cent increase last July.
Union leaders withheld comment on
the boards decision but it has been
frequently stated in hearings that
cut of 10 to IL per cent would meet
little opposition. Leaders of brother
hoods have called a meeting for July
I.
