Special ruling of all kinds. Houston, Tex., Aug. 25. (An af fidavit before military authorities by DeRoy Pinkett, private in I company of the 24th regiment, which partici pated in the rioting at Houston Tues day night, giving what he said was a complete story of the trouble, was made yesterday afternoon. t is as follows: '"Yesterday about 3 p. m. we heard that Corporal Baltimore, of our com pany, had been shot by special po lice officers (white officers who ride horses). All the boys said, "Let's go get the man who shot Baltimore.' It was getting late then and we stood retreat at G o'clock and then I hearu Sergeant Henry, of our company, say: "Well, don't stand around like that. If you are going to do anything go ahead and do it,' "After that I saw some of the boys slip over to company H and I heard them say they had stolen the ammu nition. Then Capt. Snow called the men out in line. He asked what we were doing and ordered a search made for the ammunition and alsf ordered that our rifles be taken up. '."Another sergeant, I forgot his name, took up our rifles from our tents. In this same talk Captain Snow told us that Baltimore was noi in the wrong; that the policeman was in wrong. I heard him say that. A big fellow in our company named Frank Johnson then came running down the company street hollering i 'Get your rifles boys.' We all made a rush then for the supply camp and got our rifles and we went to a large ammunition box and got our ammu nition. Sergeant Henry was the leader. "Corporal Wheatley, Corporal Brown, Corporal Moore, Corporal Snodgrass and Corporal Tillman and about 100 privates were in the crowd that had gone and started off toward town. I was in the crowd. I had my gun and my ammunition. We done some shooting as we left the camp. I shot about five times.. I did not know a girl got shot. I did not see any ambulance. Wte met an au tomobile with a white man in it. They stopped him and Sergeiivt ,Henry told the man to get out of his car, but he did not get out and all the so. diers that were in front shot the man. I judge that about 50 shot were fired at him .1 was toward the back and did not fire any shot then. Then we marched on up, the road and as I passed the car I heard the white man in the car groan, but we did not stop. "'Then we met some officers in a car coming from the fourth ward and the sergeant made them get out and told them to leave their car. We did not do any shootiner here. Then we met two men in a buggy which looked like .Mexfioan,v but we ,did not shoot them. Then we got to the . direct road and started to the graveyard on San Felipe street and right at the graveyard they started shooting. Sergeant Henry was in front and he hollowed to everybody to lay down. They all laid down but myself and two more fellows and we ran down a side street. As we ran I heard shooting that sounded like all of them were shooting together. I tried to get back to cairm but was afraid and stayed in the woods all night and was arrested this morning after daylight when I tried to get back to camp." ff Bmaa yX Piano U. -m- bnogracns Player Pianos and Organs Mehlin, A.BXbase, Adam Schaaf and Braumulfer Pianos.

M Williams of Chapel Hill, who sus tained injuries when a train wrecked his automobile at Cameron, died late yesterday at Sanford. He was about 40 years old Chapel Hill. Burial will be at TO GET LQV RATE "Our armies need food; don't let it burn!" is the slogan adopted by the -Michigan Conservation Association re cently, and it might well be adopted as the slogan of every association and every individual In the country at this time. Vast numbers of associations and government agencies throughout the country are. urging every hour the growing and conservation of food stuffs. The reports so far from the Department of Agriculture indicate an enormous yield for the year. But planting and raising crops will not suf fice. Every care must be exercised toward the prevention of the destruc tion and waste of the food after it has been made and housed. A few weeks ago a grain elevator in Chicago was destroyed by fire and with j it wheat sufficient to make 50,000,000 loaves of bread. Taking this amount of bread and estimating the amount of flour used by bakers in making bread, and figuring by the army Quar termaster Department's allowance for feeding a soldier, this wheat de stroyed would furnish the first incre ment of the new national army com posed of 687,000 men in bread for nearly two months. Wherever there i a fire that de stroys a considerable amount of prop erty there is almost always some lack of care or else a criminal intent. Ex tremely few fires are "providential." Hundreds and thousands of young men have within the past few months walk ed into recruiting stations and volun teered to lay their lives at the disposal of the American government to pros ecute this war. To those who stay at home it is but a small effort to put forth to practice the eternal vigi lance that will prevent the fires which OLD FALSE i iiil Dor.'t matter if b, to !;. per s. pest and receive maii.

NO DEBATE TODAY By the Associated Press. Washington, Aug. 25. A.fter a brief session today the senate re cessed until Monday without action or debate on the war tax bill. Ab sence of senators and reluctance to spend the day in perfunctory speech making induced eladers to take a recess. Capt. C. C. Freeman, Earl N. Carr and John Geitner will leave here Sun day morning for Fort Oglethorpe, where they will begin training for officers in the national army. dren who must remain at home and fight the battles that are absolutely essential to "keep the home fires burning." Appealing to city and county offi cials throughout North Carolina to Join with the department in lending aid to a nation wide campaign against preventable fire waste, Insurance Com missioner James R. Young recently is sued a letter which was sent to these officials and to a number of other pub- In Commissioner Young's appeal to officials he points out the fact that more than $100,000 worth of bread stuffs were destroyed in North Caro lina last year in preventable fires. In addition approximately a like amount was involved in machinery and equip ment in plants for the making and handling of breadstuffs. "In this time of emergency," tha statement says, "loss of foodstuffs la total loss. Insurance money collect ed does not replace the actual food stuffs. Our people cannot eat money. While our soldiers are preparing to fight the enemy and our allies are holding out their hands for food them-, selves and their dependent loved ones, It is treason for our people to allow one thing that goes into the making of food to be wasted." The aid and support of every county and city official and every civic organization in the state is urged in this emergency fire prevention cam- 1 palgn. The Commissioner again calls attention to he fact that an expert fire engineer in the service of the depart- i ment is available at all times for the training of fire departments for cities The Citv ana towns and to give instruction in bid at the oiKce fire fighting and fire prevention means, ager until Sept.
