Bread And
Milk Rushed
ToRiotArea

Trucks bearing food and milk
made their first appearance in Me-
gro districts Tuesday morning, and
many of the residents did not wait
until the drivers had delivered the
food to stores. Instead, they bought
directly from the drivers.
Every store owned and operated
by whites in Negro areas was de-
molished and all food stuff removed
by looters. Shelves in every shoe
store were emptied, and without
the use of No. l8 stamp.
Those persons living near the
Eastern Market were able to buy
food Monday, but those who usually
buy from markets on Hastings, St.
Antoine, Beaubien and Brush, were
unable to obtain food because the
owners had left and the stores were
in shambles.

MOVEMENT LEADERS GET
PRISON SENTENCES IN ILLINOIS

Judge Wham explained that evil
dence showed the purpose OF the
organization was to put interests OF
the worlds colored races above
those OF the United States and TO
place Japan above this country in
the minds and hearts of the men,
bers.
There was some doubt whether
japanese had any part in the move
ment he said, adding. however, that
the conspiracy was real, had caused
some disloyalty and the defendants,
had persuaded many members Of
the organization that it was spen-
sored by Japanese.
The movement was organized
about 10 years ago by Asthma TAX
is, a Filipino, who said he was a
Japanese and was working under
the direction Of the japanese Black
Dragon society. A witness for the
government, Talks was brought
back from the Federal Correctional
institution, Sandstone. Mimi, where
he is serving a term for forgery OF
a money order.
Judge Wham took occasion to say
that he attributed the fact that no
greater harm was done through the
movement to- the natural loyalty
of the colored citizens OF the United
States" and their good judgment in
declining to believe that Japan
could be trusted to befriend any
people.
BE it to the credit Of the colored
people OF the country" he said,
that, although the membership at
its peak was more than million,
as the disloyal tendencies Of the
organization became more and more
clear, the membership declined I'M
til comparatively few remained ac-
tive at the time Of the indictment"
Little real harm was done ty the
defendants, he concluded, except to
defraud their followers out OF small
sums Of money.
