Militia Co. Searching

Richmond. Va, Mar. ia COM
pany of the Richmond Light Infantry
Blues, a national guard unit, was
modified at it's armory tonight while
police searched the city and sur
rounding country for trace of two
negroes who yesterday entered the
home here of white man and
threatening him with death while he
lay ill in bed, knocked a six months
old baby from the arms of his wife
and then attacked the woman. =
News of the attack aroused the city
last night and throughout today ra-
cial feeling grew more intense. It is
believed that the fear of an outbreak
between the two races led to the mob
ilization of the guardsmen. There
were no disorders during the day.
Citizens at a mass meeting today
raised reward to be paid to anyone
bringing about the arrest of the me-
groes responsible for the attack.
Whites in the eastern portion of the
city. in which the victim of the at
tack lived, are reported to have arm
ed themselves.
Scores of negroes have been round
ed up but none has been identified
by the woman or her husband and
Practically all have been released.

Bavarian ministry are unusually
frank in indicating their sentiments
toward the Berlin government since
the news has been received of the
adoption by the Reichsrath of the
Measure providing for the ,disband-

Berlin cabinet is charged with bad
faith in that, it is alleged, it directly
promised the Won Kahr ministry
that no steps would be taken in con-
nection with disarmament in the
event that the London engotiations.
The Munich government charges
Berlin with failure to present draft
of the law before putting it to a
vote and withfailure further to con-
suit with Premier Won Kahr on the
subject. The Bavarian premier, 1t is
said, still hoped that he wo uld be
able to agree with the Fehrenbach
ministry on a formula which would
have resulted in mutually satisfac-
tory compromise.

Treatment in London o. X.

Berlin. =" March 13.-Maj. Gen. Won
Seecht, one of the German reparations
delegation, in giving his impressions
of the London conference to officials
of the ministry of defense, expressed
the opinion that had Premier Lloyd
George contemplated a breakdown in
the negotiations he would not have
held the conference in London, but
would have selected some place with
tn, necessary atmosphere" like Paris
or Brussels
General Won Seecht said that at Spa
and Versailles the French and Belgians
had treated the German delegation like
kaffirs, but that in London the English
attitude toward them had been in
every way correct and polite; that
King George even had inquired
whether the. delegation was being
properly accommodated.
The breaking up of the conference
was attributed by General Won Seecht
entirely to Premier BRAND and M
Loucheur of the French delegation.

To Dissolve All
German Civilian Guards

Berlin, March 13-The Federal
council today adopted the govern
ment's draft law providing for the
definite dissolution of all German
civilian guards and self defense or
ganizations. Bavaria's seven votes
were the only ones cast in opposition
to the measure. This threatens to
bring to a head the long expected
clash between the Central govern
ment and Bavaria, which stubborn
ly opposed the breaking up of the
powerful system of Einwohnerwehr
and local committees formed to
maintain law and order.
The Bavarian government has de-
clared that the measure is not de-
manded by reasons of foreign rela-
tons and that it's enforcement will
seriously threaten internal unity.
The representative of Bavaria claim
ed that neither the Versailles treaty
nor the Spa agreement oblgate Ger
many to dissolve her self defence
organizations.
The bill will now go to the Reich
stag, where it is asserted a safe ma
jority awaits it.

GIVEN u. S. CONSUL
BY FlUME GOVT.

Triest. Mar. 13.--Wilbur Keblinge,
the American consul to Efumc, left
that city today for Triest to await In
structions from the State department,
at Washington after having been re-
fused recognition by the Fiume gov
eminent.
DIR. Antonio Grossich, provisional
head OF Fiume. said to Mr.. Kebiinger:
We were surprised at this action
on the part of your government In
asking us to recognize you and pro-
tect you when the United States has
not recognized u.s."
1t Is learned from the Fiume auth
critics that Consul keblinger's in
structions from the State Department
were that he was to make plain to
the provisional government that his
establishment of consulate al
Ffume was not to be construed as
recognition of the present govern
ment. but that the American consul.
ate was there ready TO carry on con-
sular business, and that as it sought
the permission. recognition and pro-
lection OF the present authorities, il
was the same arrangement as pre-
vailed under the old inter- allied oc.
cupation before the D'AnnuAzio ex.
petition.
Mr.. Keblinger occupied the pos
when D'Annunzio entered. He was
freed ii leave on the flagship Pitts

New Ruling Upsets

Study of the new ruling. officials
said. has disclosed that the whole
theory of prohibition enforcement. on
which the internal revenue bureau has
been proceeding has been overthrown.
The prohibition unit, officials explain
ed, has worked on the theory that it
possessed regulatory powers under the
act which permit it ito limit the use
and distribution of intoxicants except
ed by Congress from the general ban.
By the most recent view of the law,
however. officials maintained. it would
seem that this theory is now denied.
Existing regulations will have to be
considerably amended, officials said. as
various rules heretofore promulgated
by the bureau are affected more or less
directly by the opinion.
Drafting of new regulations which
had been tentatively a greed upon be-
