"Washington, July 21. The federal
government intervened today to pre
vent recurrence of attacks made
Sunday night by soldiers, sailors and
marines against negroes for attacks j
on white women of this city. After
a conference between Secretary Ba
ker and the local government author
ities, the army provost guards will be
reestablished.
The police auljhorities announced
that 250 marines would aid in patrol
ing the streets tonight. Major Gen
eral Barnett, commander of the ma
rines, said all possible help would be
given by the marines from Washing
ton barracks.
The streets where scores of ne
grocs were beaten will be kept clear
of small gatherings.

The capital was quiet again t )day
after a night of intermittent rating
liming which bands of soldiers, sail
ors, and marines visited terror up
on negroes in retaliation for the se
ries of negro attacks on white wo
men and the long-series of daylight
holdups which have taken place in the
city.
While the police stood apparently
powerless, the men in uniform seized
negroes on Pennsylvania avenue be
tween the capitol and the white house
i nl when they had finished it, let it
f e known that they would meet again
a night "to finish the job."
The trouble began coming to a fo
cus Saturday night when other white
women were held up and robbed by
negroes. The last white woman to
he attacked was the wife of a sail
or. The assailant got away- from
the police and the service men deter
mined Saturday night to take mat
ters in their . own hands. They
marched through the southwest sec
tion of the city, driving the negroes
to their homes, where they barricad--4
themselves. Those caught were
handled roughly by the service men.
Things finally quieted down about
midnight and the police patrols were
trebled in that section and instructed
to round up any loitering negroes.
The negroes promptly retaliated
when one of their number shot and
seriously wounded a policeman who
questioned him as he was loitering
::bout the entrance to an alley. The
negro escaped from a second police
man. This incident fanned the flames
and all day yesterday the word was
passed around to soldiers, sailors and
marines to assemble on Pennsylva
nia avenue last evening for the
"clean up." Accordingly bands of
service men assembled last night and
txtcan beating up negroes wherever
they were found.
One who shot at the marchers
from a trolley car was dragged off
and knocked insensible. Another was
laid out within a hundred yards of
the entrance of the white house.
All up and down the avenue there
were spirited encounters, in which
the negroes finally fled in terror.
When they retired for the night, the
service men declared they would sal
ly forth again this evening and invit
ed any white man who wished to join
thorn.
The local authorities have asked
marine corps headquarters to furnish
a guard of marines for the business
section of the city tonight to pre
vent further disorders and it has
been promised. Secretary Baker of
the war department today conferred
with government authorities who
asked that the leaves of sailors and
marines be curtailed.
A HEFTY TOMATO
Rev. John C. Peery, pastor of St.
Andrews Lulhrean church, must be
a garden expert, judging by a sam
ple of the tomatoes grown in his
garden. Mr. Dallas Russell brought
one to the Record office this afternoon
that weighed 30 ounces and it was not
the largest of the crop. It was of
the "beefsteak variety" and its name
should make it popular. It was a
fine specimen of tomatoes.

STRONG SERMON BY
REV. IE TAYLOR
Asserting that apparent failure
frequently is the stepping-stone to
success, the Rev. L. N. Taylor of
Roanoke kr.pids who is the guest of
Rev. and Mrs. S. B. Stroup, delivered
'" aus anc forceful sermon rin the
Chui-ch of the Ascension yesterday
morn ng. Mr. Taylor spoke with
ease and a command of his subject
that showed preparation and thought,
life delivery was vigorous, yet with
out effort and the congregation was
most favorably impressed with the
sermon.
Mr. Taylor's subject was "Failure
as a Success," and was based on
Christ's command to Simon Peter to
cs.t his net again into the water.
Peter and his comrades .had fished
all night, but had caught no fish,
yet they obeyed implicitly with the
result that the net broke when they
again let 'it down into the water. Mr.
Taylor declared that from failures
many good trings result.
He .recounted the efforts of a New
York lumberman to move his logs
from Canada to New York. The
cables binding .the logs bro"ke and the
timbers drifted into numerous har
bors. Each log was traced "by the
hydrographic bureau of the govern
ment, and valuable maritime data
were obtained. Columbus failed to
reach the (east, but he discovered a
new world. David Livingstone did
not reach China, but he carried his
talents and consecrated life into
Africa. Philip Brooks failed as a
teacher of boys, though from that
failure he rose to ohe of the world's
greatest preachers. !
Failures frequently are stepping
stones upon which one walks to

Washington, July 21. Senate de
bate on the peace treaty and the
league of nations covenant was re
newed today with a shadp controversy
between Senator Williams, Democrat
of Mississippi, Lodge of Massachu
setts and Borah of Idaho, Republicans.
Senator Williams charged the Re
publicans in recent addresses had pre
sented erroneous statistics regarding
Shantung, but both senators denied
this and Mr. Lodge reiterated that
while the Japenese secured territorial
control over the port, the German
railroad and in the other concessions
transferred, they secured practical
control of the province.
The Idaho senator asserted tht
the practical effect of the Shantung
provision was to deliver both politi
cal and economic sovereignty of the
province to Japan.
Prompt and unreserved ratification
of the peace treaty and the league of
nations was urged today by Senator
Pomerene, Democrat of Ohio, in the
senate.
In a prepared address crowded with
constitutional and legal arguments,
Senator Pomerene said the league was
not a sure preventive of wars, but.
would tend to prevent war, and could
be amended as circumstances require.
He replied to the criticisms of Sena
tor Lodge, Senator Knox, former Sen
