Washington, July 22.?Race hatred in the national capital engendered by attacks on white women by negroes and fanned by three successive nights of rioting, found expression again tonight in clashes between whites and blacks. A home defense j guard was shot and killed, a second guard fatally wounded and another white man slashed severely by a! razor wielded by a negrr>. All of the neero assailants escaped. The outbreaks, however, were spo-| Tadic and confined to a single vicinity I ne^r Eighth and M streets, the cen- j ter"of the black district of the north? west section. This was due in the opinion of, the authorities to the extraordinary. precautions taken to prevent formation of mobs and to a rain which began early in the evening; Troops Patrol Streets. J Approximately 1,500 troops?cavalry, infantry, marines and sailors? patrolled the streets and waited in reserve for possible outbreaks, supplementing regular and volunteer police. Detachments of mariens from Quanti co, Va., and regulars under command of Major Gen. William G. Haan, from Camp Meade, arrived early in the; evening and took up stations in va Tious parts of the city or on the outskirts. Tonight's casualties brought the number resulting from the rioting,; which began Saturday night, to seven persons dead, eleven believed to be fatally wounded and scores injured, more or less seriously. f '?^ Home Guard Killed The only fatal tmtbreak tonight up -J?-~v*- snanlfa/1 -fwvm +Vto shATV. !

Anoth' er home guard, like Halbfinger, arm% jed only with a riot stick, rah to his wHnpanion's assistance and also was .'shtfc. He died later. The negro escaped. ?

A statement issued by the fovernment authorities denied the situation bad been out of hand at any time last; night, when riot; calls were sounding j from half a dozen places at a time, j The. authorities also decided not jto | ask that martial law be declared, al- j I though resolutions introduced in the Souse during tne day urged that the j Presides# be asked to take action. President Wilson took cognizance of the situation today when he called Secretary Baker to the White House for a conference on steps that might be taken by the military in cooperation with the civil authorities to prej ' L? > vem recurrence of the outbreaks. The President was understood to be greatly concerned Marines and Cavalry. -1 After the conferences Secretary ; Baker announced that the troops or-1 dered from Camp Meade constituted1 a very large number and that Major "William G. Hann would be in comS ' I mand. Secretary Daniels said a substantial force of marines had been ordered'in for night patrol duty.

Others whirled ' through more outlying streets in au-! tomobiles, firing wildly at any whites J they saw. The resolutions introduc-1 ed today ranged from that by Represenative Clark, Democrat, of Florida, charging that the district government! had "utterly failed" to put a stop to j the .crime wave that has swept the j city for a month a*d calling for con- i gressional investigation, to those of j Represenative Emerson, Republican, j of'Ohio, and Representative Vaile, Republican, of Colorado, demanding that martial law be declared. Repre sentative Emerson's resolution deciar-1 ?d the situation was a "national j scandal" and called for protection of j citizens, "irrespective of color," while Representative Vaile declared the ""dignity and honor" of the United -States required a martial law enforcement of order. - Senator Harrison, Democrat, of Mississippi, introduced a bill to separate the races on street cars. / Representative Hill, Republican, j of New York, introduced a bill to I regulate the sale of firearms in the j district. In the absence of any such j law the district commissioners in- ! duced hardware dealers and others j to stop the sale of weapons. At least i 500 revolvers were said to have been j sold in a single day during the dis- i turbance. Steps to curb the terror j cars through requiring special tags for operation after dark, also were discussed, but no action taken. Even while the rioting was at its height early today reports of another attack upon a white woman came. Frightened away once, her assailant hid and seized her as she left her house. She escaped only when all but stripped of her clothing. The police did not make public their plans for the night, but, supported by the increased provost guard, army motor trucks armed with machine guns and crews, cavalry and the detachments of regulars and i i i.L _ t marines oraerea muo me uilj' by the War and Navy departments,: officials asserted their confidence that the situation could be controlled.

WARSHIP The Mexicans Were in Civilian Clothes and Two of Them Were Armed With Rifles. . - WaalimiyfAn Tnlw 91 TVlTAP TT VV1A) V WAJ icans in civilian clothes, two of them armed with rifles, constituted the band which held up and robbed American sailors who were on official duty in a launch from the monitor Cheyenne near Tampico July 6. A full report on the incident was received to day from Commander Finney, of the cruiser Topeka. Commander Finney said he immediately notified the Mexican au- j thorities at Tampico and added that they were making every effort to apprehend the bandits. Commander Finney also said the J authorities had expressed deep re--i gret that the incident should have - _i foccurrea. Secretary Daniels said today no part of the Pacific fleet, now en route to the west coast, would be diverted to Mexican water, adding that if additional forces were needed they would be drawn from the Atlantic fleet. Three American warships now are on duty at or near Tampico. They were the cruiser Topeka, the gunboat Castine and the j Cheyenne. Texas Wants Chance to Protect Her- j elf. Austin, Texas, July 21.?Without debate the Texas senate today adopted a concurrent resolution calling the attention of the president and congress to the "guerrilla warfare that has prevailed along the TexasMexican border since 1875," and asking the federal government if it cannot protect the border to "accord to Texas that liberty of action" in protecting its citizens that the republic of Texas enjoyed prior to the time that it "in good faith became a state of the union." The object to be attained through ' such "liberty of action," according to j the resolution, is "that Texas may; take such steps as may be necessary' for the protection of its border." The resolution recites border incidents since 1875 which have been "intensified during the last nine years," during which period citizens of Texas "have been murdered, their property stolen or destroyed and the' people of this state made to suffer the outrages of guerrilla warfare." Citizens of New Mexico and Arizona have suffered similar outrages, the ; resolution declares. * Carranza Moves Against Bandits | Galveston, Texas, July 21.?The M?ntfrjfaCk { MM Doesn't % SI E Help You. | Ask Your g & There can be no doubt 13 $1 E i S as to the merit of Cardui, p 0 Bja the woman's tonic, in fj S IS the treatment of many him Pm troubles peculiar to n*fl M women.
