HARRISONBURG. Va, October g.
After three nights of rioting between
white and colored factions of Bridge
from here, normal conditions obtained
today.
One white boy was shot in the leg
by stray bullet and a half dozen
negroes were severely beaten.
Faith Whitelow, a negro, is under
arrest charged with shooting, while
number of other negroes charged
with carrying concealed weapons
were released when a search failed to
reveal that they were armed.
The trouble seems to have started
as result of remarks made late Sun
day night by negro occupants of an
automobile which collided with an
other machine on the main street of
the town. White persons resented
these remarks, and this led to a
free-for all Monday night. From 40
on the first night the mob grew to
100 men and boys on the second night.
After the stray bullet struck Charles
kibler, aged 16, the mob procured
clubs and set upon every negro found
on the streets.
The same thing happened Tuesday
night after the trial of Whitelow.
of special police on hand and every
car entering Bridgewater was halted
to see that the negro population was
not preparing for more trouble.
Mayor Arey feels that the trouble
will blow over if the colored people
obey his edict and stay off the streets
for the time being.

DEFEAT Of LABOR
FORECAST BY ROWS
Fall of Ministry Regarded as
Imminent" Over Two Is
sues in Commons,
BY the Associated Press

By the Associated Press
LONDON. October 2--Talk has apain
arisen of the Imminent fall of the
Labor government" and the prob
ability of general election before
christmas. Similar expectations have
been raised more than once since the
Laborites assumed office, but this
time the forecast is declared to be
the real thing.
The crisis-for so it is regarded on
all sidGS-came suddenly late last
night when notice was given in Par
Lament of two motions against the
government. One. by the Conserva-
tives, ccnsures the governments con-
duct IN reference to the abandon
ment of criminal proceedings against
James Ross Campbell, acting editor of
the Workers Weekly, Il communist
publication.
Red Treaty Condemned.
The other, by the Liberals, voices
diSapproval of the Anglo Rus sia n
treaty, which. according to the word
ing of the motion. instead of provid =
ing genuine contribution toward
dissolving the problem Of unemploy-
which are urgently needed for rational
and imperial development, and con-
tenn plates that the British taxpayer
should be made liable for further
loans to the Russian state, raised by
means of a guarantee of the British
government, the condition upon
which the private claims of certain
British creditors should be recog-
uized or met by the soviet republic"
1t had been recently understood
that the liberals were prepared to
support a motion condemning Attor-
ney General Patrick Hastings for
mishandling the Campbell case, but
doubted whether to support il If it
involved the whole government. 1t
had been further believed, however,
that Premier Macdonald was deter
mined to stand by the attorney gen.
eral and that. if the latter were CEN
Sured, the premier would not allow
him to resign while the rest of the
government continued in office, but
would retire with him.
Vote to Be Delayed.
1t is inconceivable that the Con-
servatives will abstain from support
ing a motion directly aimed at de-
feating the Russian treaty, and the
government is regarded as certain
to be outvoted by a big majority.
The treaty, however. will not come
up for discussion for nearly another
month, so the government is certain
of that much lease of life if not de-
feated meantime on the Campbell
matter.
The Daily Herald. Laborite organ,
says the premier will appeal to the
country if defeated on either issue.
The paper speaks as though the La
Dor party would welcome an oppor-
tunity to test it's strength at the polls.

CARSON TO GET POST.
May Be British Nominee to
Boundary Commission.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON. October Lord Carson
(former Sir Edward Carson, the
Cnionist leader in Ulster) will be the
British governments nominee as it's
representative on the Ulster boundary
commission, says the Daily Express.
The newspaper adds that the appoint
ment of Lord Carson will be calcu-
lated to give Ulster the greatest pos
sible confidence in the commission S
decision.
The government bill providing for
the Irish boundary commission passed
its second reading in the House of
Commons last night. Previously an
Ulsterite motion for rejection of the
bill was defeated, POI to 124.
Continuation of the debate yester-
day brought out only one interesting
point-a statement from former Pre-
mier Lloyd George that there was no
record in the cabinet minutes that
any pledge such as suggested by Wis.,
count Long had been given, and that
he himself was unable to recall any
such pledge as that the six counties
should always belong to Ulster and
that there should be no interference
with the boundaries beyond slight
readjustments.
Questions Ulster Move.
Mr.. Lloyd George said the first
suggestion for a boundary commits
sion came from Ulster and he had
never understood why Ulster re-
fused to proceed with the commits
sion. If any one were entitled to
doubts it was the Irish Free State,
which would appoint only one COM
missioner to two appointed by
parliaments in which the Sim Fein
was not represented.
Austen Chamberlain, while express
sing the opinion that Ulster had
nothing to fear from boundary
commission and declaring there was
no foundation for the insinuation
that Ulster was being tricked, criti-
cized the government bill as tanta-
mount to making a new treaty, argu-
ing that if one side had the right
