' d Washington.- - The known easimlrv toll of the race riots which broke out in various sections of the national capital Monday night, reached three killed and twelve seriously wounded, besides numerous minor casualties inflicted by bricks and other missies. In addition to the killing of one city detective and the fatal wounding of another by two negro women, three patrolmen had been wounded by negro rioters. Two negroes were dead and four others were reported to be dying. Harry Wilson ,a detective, was shot Dy a negress, who had opened fire from the second floor of a residence. A second negress opened fire from the ground floor of a house across the alley, when the police and guardsmen rushed the house which the first was holding. Thompson, second detective victim, was wounded during the clash. ' Only one arrest was made, the young negress who was shot through the hips. It was said by officials that the riots here were of a more serious nature than anything which had occurred since the outbreaks during the period of the old "feather duster legislature," in the turbulent days after the civil war, before the present form of district government was organized. The "outbreaks started Saturday night, following a series of attacks on white women, several murders, scores of robberies and general lawlessness. Several hundred soldiers, sailors and marines joined together Saturday night to search for a negro suspected of attacking the wife of an employee of thn naval aviation Unable bi"-ea- city, where they vent- the center of the ed their anger on a negro they met. HOUSE APPROVES DRY MEASURE Democrats and Forty-eigRepublicans Vote in Opposition. Washington, D. C By a vote of nearly three to one, the house, weary of talk on prohibition, with provisions .and penalties so drastic as to bring from the men who framed it the prediction that it would forever suppress the liquor traffic on American soil. fifty-tw- o Exactly 100 members Democrats and forty-eigRepublicans refused to support it. Against the ven hundred, the prohibitionists, putting up a solid front to the very last, polled 287 votes, and just as the result was announced a little girl in the gallery, too young to know what it all was about, leaned over the railing and waved a tiny American flag. It was not a signal for that, but the house broke into applause ; the galleries were meanwhile looking on only half-fillein silence. A broad smile spread over the faces of the prohibition leaders, for their work was ready for the senate, where modi-lie- d many of its restrictions may be or stricken out. The cloakroom rumor persisted that all of this legislative effort might end on the shoal of a presidential veto, although the general view was that it would be signed as passed.

Telephonic adWendover, Utah. vices from Gold Hill to officers at Wendover tell of a murder near Trout creek, Juab county, forty miles south of Gold Hill, Tuesday morning. George Harris, a homesteader and former soldier, Is alleged to have shot and killed Jesse Cone of Trout Creek and to have seriously wounded James Sabey, a deputy sheriff of Callao. According to the information received, the tragedy seems to have been caused by a dispute over range cattle running over the Harris ranch. This ground lias never been fenced and it is said for a generation has been public range. The advices from Gold Hill allege that Harris locked up a bunch of cattle without foed or water and that when Cone and Sabey undertook to turn the cattle out to take them home Harris demanded damages. Reparation was refused, it Is said, and the shooting followed. Daniels Approves Admiral Rank Bill Secretary Dunlels ap.

Washington, D. C Definite for stockgrowers in the drought-stricke- n relief regions of the northwest was Tuesday ordered by the railroad administration, both in the matter of reduced rates on feed going into these areas and on the.shipnient of livestock out. In a memorandum sent to Senators Myers and Walsh of Montana, the railroad administration said that In order to cope with the unprecedented drought conditions and to prevent loss of stock by starvation, It Is deemed essential to publish special freight rates which will enable growers to ship in feed to keep as great a number as possible of their breeding animals on the home ranges and, where it becomes necessary to move animals to feed, that freight rates for return movement be published which will encourage their return. The administration therefore, has ordered into effect half rates on hay, .grain and feed, including cottonseed These rates will continue until April 1 next, unless sooner changed or extended. On cattle and sheep shipped out of the drought areas, full rates will be paid, but if these cattle and sheep are later returned the rate for their return shall be only of the normal rate, thus offering an incentive to return stock after the drought has passed. Stock, to get advantage of this low return rate, must be shipped back before June 1, 1920. The same transit rates now provided on sheep will be extended to apply on cattle, Siorses and hogs, with time limit for the transit period i n.ve months. - 'siibiiIiIiiMbi ATI ADMINISTRATION ORDERS SPEC IAL SCHEDULE FOR FEED AND CATTLE SHIPMENTS one-thir- - riAliE RIOTS TREMONTON, UTAH, THURDAY, JULY 24, 1919 Evanston Men Slain as Engine Explodes.

After several conferences with the president and state department officials, Senator W. H. King of Utah Saturday stated that the Mexican situation is going to be dealt with in a manner that will fully protect the rights of Americans, both as to their lives and their property. Exactly what the new policy of the administration is to be, Senator King was not at liberty to disclose, but the inference was drawn from his remarks that as soon as the German treaty is ratified, or possibly sooner, strong demands will be made upon Carranza to guarantee full protection to Americans everywhere in Mexico, the demand to cover also American property rights in that country. If a satisfactory assurance followed by satisfactory performance is not promptly forthcoming, it would seem to be the purpose of the administration to resort to military means of perCarranza that American suading rights can no longer be disregarded in his country. What form of military move would be resorted to in such event, is apparently not yet fully determined. The state department is working on its reply to Senator King's resolution calling for full information regarding past depredations against Americans and American property in Mexico, the report being delayed, it is explained, by the mass of data that is being assembled.
