War on Tobacco Laid to the W. C. T. U. Kev?? fork, Aug. 4.-After a two months' inquiry conducted in this city, Chicago, San Francisco and else where to determine whether ther was a concerted campaign to bar tn use of tobacco, now that the liquor has gone by the board, the Associa tion Opposed to National Prohibition issued a statement here to-day charg ing that the Woman's Christian Tem perance Union was backing a move ment to have anti-nicotine laws en acted in every state in the union. The W. C. T. U. will celebrate it; fiftieth anniversary, five years hence and that organization is hopeful of having Congress submit a constitu tional amendment before March 20 1924, its semi-centennial, forbidding the cultivation, sale, use or export of the weed for smoking or chewing pur poses, the statement charged. The $1,000,000 "drive" begun last March by the white ribboners, it is alleged, has for its object the crush ing,of the demon nicotine, and to this end anti-prohibitionists say $300,000 will be expended ostensibly on "child welfare," "health and morality," "ed ucation and information" and other, propaganda methods by means of the churches and public schools. Total Casualties in Rioting 339. Chicago, Aug. 4.-After the calm est night in the "black belt" for more than a week, the work was begun to day of selecting a grand jury before which will come the cases of white men and negroes who are accused of participation in the race riots which caused the death of twenty negroes and thirteen whites, and the injury of hundreds. The coroner has fixed che number of dead at 33 and the city health com missioner has found that 306 people injured in the riots were treated at hospitals. He expressed the opinion however, that perhaps 400 or more who were injured in the riots never reported at the hospitals and conse quently the total number of injured will never be known officially. Soldiers on Duty. The state troops had little to do .during the night in the riot zone, but much excitement was caused early to day by persistent reports telephoned into headquarters of the second regi ment, that a* crowd of 500 men was gathering at South Ashland avenue and West Fifty-Ninth street. When a company of troops reached the scene, the crowd has vanished and the soldiers returned to headquarters. Several thousand negroes who ex pected to return to work in the stock yards to-day after nearly a week's absence on<,account of the riots, must wait until the unrest caused by the disturbances in the district has sub sided. After announcing that the ne groes would return to work to-day, superintendents of all the large pack ing plants decided that it would be prudent to hold them at their homes for an indefinite period.
