Utah, Wyoming, Montana and Colorado Interests Among Plaintiffs In Court Action. Violation of Federal Commission Charged. Chicago. Chicagos black belt was a battlefield Monday night. Negroes and whites fought in an area approximately six miles square in the heart of the city. Pistols and rifles flashed and bullets crashed through street cars and buildings and on the streets finding hundreds of victims. Police patrols and hospital ambulances charged through the mobs amid a hail of bullets, rescuing the wounded and recovering bodies of the dead. The confusion was so great in the district that the police were unable to place an estimate either on the dead or wounded. Acting Chief of Police received a report that three negroes and two whites had been killed. Another rumor was to the effect that several hundred were drowned in the lake during the rioting. Blacks and whites, swarmed through the South Side black belt, and rioting spread throughout much of the district. Police reserves and detectives from all stations in the city were rushed to the scene. Special calls to the stations and hospitals for ambulances also were sent by Chief Alcock. James OBrien, a policeman attached to the Cottage Grove station, was attacked by a mob of negroes at Twenty-nint- h and State streets. Several shots were fired at him, and he was wounded in the arm. He pulled his revolver on the surging mass, and fired several times Into the crowd. The crowd scattered, leaving three blacks moaning on the pavement. Washington. Upon complaint of the Western association of Rolled Steel Consumers that the United States Steel corporation and other steel act in violation of the federal trade commission act and the Clayton antitrust act in selling rolled steel on a Pittsburg basas, the federal trade commission Saturday announced that it had undertaken a thorough investigation of the subject, with a view to determining whether a formal complaint should be issued. In its complaint the Western association urges that Chicago should be made another basing point in fixation of steel prices. The action, wiiich is undertaken by the trade commission as a friendly suit, has been pronounced by E. H. Gary, chairman of the board of the United States Steel corporation, as the biggest lawsuit ever tried in this country. The application for complaint made by the Western association, represented by John S. Miller of Chicago, as counsel, says the membership comprises over 700 fabricators of steel. These are operating In Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Wyoming, Colorado and California, all being tribu? tary to what Is known as the Chicago district ;that the United States Steel corporation mill at Gary produces steel at a cost substantially lower than at the Carnegie plant of the steel corporation at Pittsburg or at other corporation plants in Pennsylvania ; that ova omwMth of the rArt1stee( made in The LinW States is lu.i'ue by the respondent at Gary, Ind. The applicant submits that the normal, reasonable price for rolled steel should be measured by cost of production with addition of reasonable profit, and without addition of a large and arbitrary increase which forms no part of the production cost and is over and above such reasonable profit. UNABLE TO ESTIMATE NUMBER OF CASUALTIES. RUMORS SPREAD. a Government. Washington. Carranzas rule of Mexico is a government, but a baud of outlaws, both technically and practically, and today it is utterly impossible, an enemy of its own people first and America second, William Gates of Baltimore, an archaeologist, told the bouse rules committee Monday in its hearing on the Gould resolution proposing a congressional Inquiry into Mexican affairs. Although asserting that President Wilson was misled in making his decision to recognize Carranza, believing the Mexican to be a peoples champion," Mr. Gates declared in favor of leaving the solution of the Mexican problem with the president. The president, he said, had not been fully informed of conditions in the southern republic. Mr. Gates said- - his ppinions were based on a first-han- d study of Mexican conditions for about a year, beginning in July, 1917, during which time lie visited parts of the country not usually seen by a traveler, including the states of Yucatan, Vera Cruz, Puebla, Morales and Oaxaca. For twenty years, he explained, lie had been building up a library of Mexican antiquities and literature, and his trip was to obtain more material and to find out what was going on behind the veil of our censorship and the Carranza censorship. Carranzas control Includes the main ports and the railroads, with adjoining territory for a mile on either side the transportation lines, Mr. Gates asserted. This control, he said, was tfiat of a body of soldiers who are ready to shoot at a moments notice in a country where nobody else has any guns. Maintaining that a general political revolution is on in Mexico, Mr. Gates bandits are the declared the country people, who, when the come in to make a raid, take up their guns and become bandits in the eyes of the government. Acting upon the advicq of the Mexican government, John West Thompson, an American ranchman living near Mexico City, has paid the 1500 pesos ransom demanded by bandits for the son, the state release of his was advised. department as FOUR ON DESERT NEAR DEATH U. 5.

Thomas Fitzgerald, 39 Chicago. years old, and married, confessed Sunday to the police that he killed little Janet Wilkinson, six years old, a neighbors child, last Tuesday by strangling her. He accompanied the police to his home and showed them where he had concealed the body beneath some coal under the basement steps, and it was recovered. The solution of the mystery, which has stirred Chicago as few police cases have aroused the populace, came this morning when Fitzgerald .after five sleepless days and nights, constantly kept under a grueling examination and g scrutiny, called for an officer and made his confession. The authorities acted quickly. Although Fitzgerald has been termed a moron by the police, the criminal machinery was to proceed as usual. Coroner Hoffman quickly selected a jury and opened the inquest. never-ceasin- Wander to Exhaustion After Their Auto Plunges Through Bridge.

Property Possible Cause. Recently Adopted. Washington. President Wilson informed the senate Friday, in response to a resolution by Senator Johnson of California, that the presence of American troops In Siberia was a vital element in the restoration and maintenance of traffic on the Siberian railroad and that under the' agreement with Japan they could be withdrawn only when the American railway exthe road were withperts operating ... drawn. The president said Siberia could be protected from a further period of chaos and anarchy only by keeping the railroad open, and that,, lacking the prime essentials of life, the people there were looking to the United States and the allies for economic assistance. This already is being extended and additional supplies are to be sent forward. Roving bands having no connection with any organized government in Russia are menacing the railroad, the president said, and, consequently, protection by the military is necessary. American troops, he said now are engaged in guard duty at Vladivostok and around Verchne Udinsk. A small body also is at Harbin. The original purposes of the American military expedition, Mr. Wilson wrote, were twofold : The saving of forces and the the Czecho-Slova- k steadying of the efforts of the Rusor the establishsians at ment of law and order in which they might be willing to accept assistance. Major General Graves, commanding the expedition of 8000 men, was specifically directed not to interfere in Russian affairs, the president said, but' to support wherever necessary John F. Stevens, the American railway engineer, who is carrying out the work of rehabilitating the Siberian railroad, under the direction of the interallied committee. , 1 self-defen- Sincere League is Aim. Baltimore. Cardinal Gibbons Thursday authorized the following statement with regard to his attitude toward the league of nations ; It is my firm conviction that, after thorough and honest discussion in both houses of Congress, both parties will finally arrive at a common agreement based upon a just and sincere league of nations that will give us a reasonable guarantee against the horrors of war in the future as well as assurance of lasting peace without in any way impairing American sovereignty or surrendering any American right, and without involving ; us in entangling alliances.

The charred bodies of John Henry Winslow, Jr., and his brother, Buben Winslow, were found in the smouldering ruins of the cabin on the Winslow ranch in the Jackson Hole country, Wyoming, by ranchers returning July 5 from an Independence Day celebration, according to word received in Ogden Friday. Sheriff Oakley of Kemmerer was called, and an .examination of the bodies disclosed bullet, uolea in the' backs'' and breasts William Sewell, a neighboring rancher, who is said to have made deadly threats to the Winslow brothers, was arrested and is confined in the Kemmerer prison, awaiting investigation. The bodies of the victims were removed to Wilson, where an inquest was held. The murdered men were the sons of the late John Henry Winslow, Sr., of Ogden canyon. The Winslow' brothers were last seen alive on July 3 by friends going to the When Fourth of July celebration. found on the morning of the fifth the bodies were so completely burned that recognition was impossible, and identification was effected only because in the trousers pockets that were next to the ground, and thus escaped burning, were found articles known to have been carried by the murdered men. Bullet holes in the backs and breasts gave evidence that the victims were attacked from behind. It is presumed by those who made the investigation that the men were shot down without warning, their bodies dragged into tlie cabin and the building set fire. Tlie murderer evidently chose July 4 for the crime, as on that date most of tlie ranchers were in town celebrating. The fact that the Winslow brothers had made filings upon tlie most desirable laud in Unit section of tlie country, and had not yet proved up on it, is suggested as a motive for tlie crime. COL.

Reports of marriages be- tween American soldiers and German girls have been received at headquarters from various parts of the occupied aiea during the past few days, hut as yet no charges have been filed against any of the men.

Officers say that a number of marriages took plaee before this belief was corrected by a special order from headquarters calling tlie attention of officers and men to the fact that until tlie United States ratified the treaty Germany and America technically were at war, and the regulation prohibiting fraternization was still in force.
