Four Regiments of National Guar dsmen Being Mobilized to Quell Disturbance. Chicago, July 28?Seven persons are known to have been killed and more than two score wounded, many of them seriously, in a renewal of, race riots in the Chicago "black belt'' I tonight. For more than five hours the fivemile area on the south side was a battle ground of scattered fights between whites and blacks and between policemen and negroes, who fired from house tops, fro mdark alleys and other points of vantage. Troops Mobilizing. The call for troops to quell the outbreaks resulted in four regiments of National Guardsmen being mobilized, but at a late hour tonight they had I not been sent to the disturbed dis-1 trict and Chief of Police Garrity expressed the belief that the worst of the disorder had passed. Five of the dead are negroes and, two are whites. The wounded in most oases weres hurried to hospitals, after which they | were removed to their homes when conditions permitted. There was no concerted battle, Chief of Police Garrity, at a late hour, said that it was impossible to make an exact estimate of the casualties because of the contradictory reports. SfnnPii anil Knives. The riots which started yesterday on the south side beaches were renewed when negro laborers began leaving the big industrial plants and by dusk more than a score of outbreaks had occurred. Whites began .dragging negroes from street cars; , the negroes retaliated with stones and ] knives. Street cars in the heart of the "black belt" were tied up and , the windows smashed. A "flying squadron" of blacks ( mounted a touring car and, riding at , full speed through the section, sent a volley of shots at a group of whites. One white woman was injured, but not fatally. The negroes were overtaken and placed under arrest. Shortly afterwards a mob of several hundred blacks formed at Thirty-fifth < street and began stoning a policeman. ^ Gun fire was opened and four of the ; Ply negroes fell, all mortally wounded , A whit? man in the same neighbor- t *" f hood was dragged from a truck and utaKhorl t. ripflth. A negM) chauffeur was killed by whites a lew minutes later in the < same block. Several arrests were made but , where the rioters were found to be unarmed they were released. , Stores Looted. Negroes began looting stores of j' whites in one district shortly after,1 the firing of revolvers by a squad of I1 pcnicemen in an effort to break up the |( fight. The police soon emptied their guns, but the looting continued until a special squad of police, armed with rifles arrived. They fired low felling i half a dozen blacks. A white woman was pulled from a street car by a negro. He was soon!) lying against the curb where angiyj white men left him for dead. j1 Charged With Razors. I1 Groups of blacks formed in football 1 fashion and charged against white) with razors and clubs. On one coiner ' the scene was like a miniature battle ground. Unconscious negroes ujidji whites dotted the street. u While the main battles were in pro-; 1 gress women, blacks and whites, j< battled away in front yards with j: brooms and missiles. In one of these) fights a white woman was knocked unconscious and taken to a hospital, j Negroes Aid Police. In the fracas 011 34th street negroes |( knocked two policemen unconscious < and were drawing pistols when a group of discharged negro soldiers came to the rescue of the police. It , another battle three policemen were shot. One may die. Tn an effort to nrevent trucks hear-I ing policemen from one section to another the negroes began cutting 1 tires. The blacks began firing on street car conductors and motormen when they refused to allow negro pas3en-| gers to board their cars because of threats made by white passengers.'( One conductor was reported to have been shot in the leg. Procession of Injured. ? A number of wounded negroes crept into alleys and other dark places. When they were found they were hurried to a negro hospital, which for. several hours received a vitual pro-, cession of injured. Tl\e more seriously wounded ne groes received at the hospital bad, ^ participated in a battle with whites on Thirty-fift.. and State streets. Sev\ eral thousand of- the blacks crowded at this point. It was an orderly gath-i ering for a time, but suddenly four negroes raced up the street and 1 stopped suddenly in the home of a, white man. In a twinkling shots be-! can in flv in oil (iiroptinns PprhanS more than a score of negroes fell, j Some were carried off by companions. For more than two blocks along the street negro snipers fired from house tops and windows. Orders to Troops. Springfield, Ills. July 28?Acting Governor Oglesby tonight on receipt i ' i REP. J. \V. RAGSDALE DIES SUDDENLY Prominent in House Affairs During the Six Years of His Service at Washington. Washington, July 23?Washington! was shocked this afternoon to learn j of the sudden death of Representa-' tive J. Willard Ragsdale, of the Sixth South Carolina District, who had become well known and popular here during his six years of congressional service. None of.the Congressman's friends at the Capitol knew anything! about his being in precarious health, I as he had been attending to business actively as usual and was the picture of robust manhood.

Byrnes and that in the Senate by Senator E. D. Smith. The death of Mr. Ragsdale occurred at the offices of Dr. Dorman, a prominent Washington physician. He had gone t0 Dr. Dorman's offices to keep an appointment with Dr. Arthur B. Hooe, whom he had consulted several days ago in regard to the condition of his heart. Dr. Dorman and Dr. Hooe hastily summoned a third physician when they found that Congressman Rags-j dale was in a condition of collapse, j The three doctors worked with all their might to resuscitate him, using the most powerful emergency measures but without avail. Dr. Hooe said that death was due to acute dilation of the heart. . Knew the End Was%Near. Evidently the patient knew the end was near, for he turned to Dr. Dorman and asked the physician to hold his hand. Dr. Dorman complied and in a few minutes the Member of Congress had died. He was lying on a couch in the office when the end came. Dr. Hooe at once tried to get into communication with Mrs. Ragsdale but learned she was in South Carolina. He then called up the Representatives office. Several weeks ago Mr. Ragsdale complained of nasal trouble and decided to consul a nose specialist. He had received several treatments and shortly before going to the doctor today he told Representative Byrnes of South Carolina that he had been great ly benefited by the treatment. Dr. Dorman requested, because of the fact that Mr. Ragsdale had died in his office, that the coroner have an autopsy held on the body. This was lone and the report showed that acute dilation of the heart, complicated with serious affection of the kidneys, had Deen me cause or aeaiu. rsu aumuie-! tic was administered t0 Mr. Ragsdale | and there was no connection between his visit to Dr. Dorman's office today and the previous treatment which he, had undergone from another phvsi-| cian for the slight nasal trouble which had been mentioned to his friends, j There was an unfortunate rumor this afternoon that the South Carolina had ; died while under the influence of an, anesthetic during an operation on his i nose.

ISSUES WARNING AS , TO IYFLUEXZA. Health Officer liner Citizens to Take Precautions. The State: If influenza runs true to form, South Carolina may expect another invasion of the disease this fall and winter in the opinion of Dr. James A. Havne, State health officer. The disease is even now widely scattered over the State. A few cases have been reported t0 the State health department during practically every month since last October \yhen it was raging over the whole state. In June tttaca ui iiiiiuvii^a nuc icyui icu by physicians. It is probable that there were many cases not reported, Dr. Hayne said yesterday. "The history of other epidemics of influenza is that it continues for two or three years with a gradually lessening virulence each year. I do not fear an extensive epidemic this fall, but there will likely be sporadic outbreaks over the State. In order to keep the disease from spreading, persons who contract it should avoid places where they may come in contact with others, and persons who have not contracted it should keep strictly away from those affected. Persons ill with the influenza should remember that it is an insidious disease, and when they become ill with it they should go t0 bed and remain there five days after the fever has left them. With all the people of the State carefuly conserving their health and taking no needless risks, I hope the disease can be held in check this winter.'' o Tnnirr AP VITIAVC uux&u vu vr iixix iv/j cj WILL BE RATIFIED A. W. McLean Says Republicans Are On the Run and Trying to Save Their Faces?President Wilson In Fine Shape Physically. That the Republican opponents of the league of nations are on the run and are hunting for a way to save their faces and come into camp is the general opinion in Washington, according to Mr. A. W. McLean, member of the War Finance board, who left yesterday for Washington after spending two days at his home here. Mr. McLean thinks that the league will be ratified by the Senate, but that possibly that will not be done under five or six weeks. President Wilson is looking better, Mr McLean says, than usual in fact appears t0 be in much better physical condition than he was before going to Europe. The idea seems to have gotten abroad that the President returned from Europe all fagged out and perhaps on the verge of physical collapse, and Mr. McLean says he had that Idea before coming into close contact with him several times recently. Republican Senators opposing the league of nations took the plunge before they realized the sentiment of the country in favor of it. Mr. McLean thinks, and now that they realize how strong that sentiment is they realize they have made -a mistake. Former Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo told Mr. McLean the other day that he found overwhelming sentiment in favor of the league among the enormous crowds from all sections of the country that he I met at the Methodist Centenary cele-j braion at Columbus, 0., recently. o RACE ROITS IX CHICAGO. Two Reported Drowned, One Fatally Wounded and a Number Injured in Series of Riots in Negro District. A series of riots in the negro dis-, tricts late Sundav reunited in thel drowning of one negro, the reported drowning of a white man, probable fatal injury to another negro, the wounding of a policeman and injury to a score of whites and blacks by bullets or missiles. Police tonight said they had the' situation well in hand. The trouble started at the 29th j street beach, where whites and blacks' are segregated and soon spread to State street, the main thoroughfare; in the heart of the negro district, which exends about five miles. Shooting started near the beach. There was also some shooting in the vicinity of State street. Although ill feeling between whites and blacks on the south side has extended over a period of months, emphasized by bomb explosions, some shooting and numerous fights, today's riots seem to have had their start in 1 petty quarreling at the beach. Reports that negroes wandered across the dividing line to the white section, of the beach and that whites amused themselves by throwing small stones | at negro bathers, appeared the most; plausible cause. Soon after the fightInn* f to n/1 n nOfrTA f lorl nil r_ !?*?, oiai icu a uvgtu itvu, j/ui sued by a number of whites.

Thompson, commercial attache of the bureau of foreign and domestic com-, merce, made public today. Mr. Erwin outlined a plan by which !JL>anisn ana utiicn traaers may De furnished cotton for rcsuie to Germany and allowed to assume a part of the risk. Out of 4,067,018 bales of cotton on storage in the United States on June 30, he estimated a very large preparation was classified in the lower grades which are especially suitable for German mills. Need Lower Grades. "At this time the German mills should be eager buyers for the lowest grades," Mr. Erwin's report said, | pointing out that during the war they, have been operating on wastes, shod- j jdy, nettle fibre and paper, owing to, ! the pressure of the blockade. [ "Cotton experts are agreed that, j the cotton in public storehouses in! ; the United tates is of the lower grades, is the most desired by these! mills." Declaring that the problem for the American producers and holders of | cotton was to find a way to offer j large assorted stocks of cotton to German spinners, and at the same time1 be secured for the value of their prop-j erty, Mr. Erwia said that warehouses | in Rotterdam, Holland, yere nowj available for handling such a trade, j Could l-inance it. i "Several strong trading companies : in Rotterdam are in a position to handle and finance cotton into Germany as fast as they can consume it," he ! said. 'Matters can be so arranged ! with them that American bankers can 1 finance the cotton in any amount into < safe warehouses in Holland and the Hollanders can arrange their own credits for delivery to German spin- I ners in lots to suit their weekly or monthly requirements. "Owjng t0 great labor troubles at the moment, it would be hard to start . up spinning at full capacity, even if the cotton were on the spot, but it is 1 estimated in a few months after the cotton arrives the mills could use 40,000 bales e month. Danish traders are willing also to ; resume handing cotton into Russia and would also stand willing to join in supplying Germany. o DISTRICT COMMITTEES NAMED. 1 Chairman David Names Cotton As- : sociation Committees for Various Townships.

Commissioner Harris is very much > interested iu the efforts of the tobacco growers to perfect an organization somewhat along the lines of the , American Cotton Association. Mr. ' Harris was invited to attend and to preside over .the convention held in Florence recently and he was unable to go as he was in Atlanta assisting in getting the American Cotton Associa- j tion going in South Carolina, but he ( sent his earnest wishes for success tinH vi* q c rmronn oll\r ronrocontnrl 1 n . **1*V4 " Mil i/vioviittllj 1U llig 1 meeting. I There were 17 counties represented; and something over 100 delegates at the Florence meeting and Mr. Harris thinks that a splendid organization was set up. The officers placed at the head of the campaign are active and intelligent men. For 25 years Mr. Harris has been working to get the farmers to cooperate, particularly with reference to the planting and selling of cotton, and he thinks that tobacco is now important enough in the value of the annual crop in this state for the producers to have a self protective organization. He urges the tobacco growers not to be too easily mollified with an increase in prices on the highest grades, but to insist upon fair prices for the lower grades as well. It is the general average price that will make the crop worth while or t will cause it to become an actual ex- c pense to the producer. The officers se- 1 lected at the meeting in Florence are: t President, W. H. Keith, Timmons- R ville; vice presidents, D. D. Rhem of c Rhems, N. A. McMillan of Mullins, c and Ashton H. Williams of Lake City; J secretary and treasurer, Mason C. <' Brunson, of Florence. t Colonel Keith is an active young t farmer and businessman of Timmons- f ville and one of the leading citizens f of the Pee Dee. Mason C. Bruson is b editor and Publisher of the Florence n Daily Times. e The above named officers with the e following, one from each county, com- a pose the executive committee; Dr. J. s H.

There is no representa- J tion from Charleston, Richland, Lex- t ington and other counties which grow S tobacco, but have no markets within o those counties. 0 Mr. Harris points out that while it r is as strong an org? ization as could r have been perfected for South Caro- S lina, it is not capable of 100 per cent. I of effectiveness unless it cooperates n with similar organizations in other J" tates, and he suggests that if the t o- ii bacc0 growers in North Carolina and t< other states are not now organized, * the South Carolina growers should ti see to it that an inter-State organiza- v Lion is perfected at once.
