Washington, July 22. Another i
night of race rioting found the na
tional capital today counting the lar
gest casualty list it has had since
soldiers, sailors, marines and civil
ians began retaliating on the negro
population for the long ' list of day
light attacks and hold-ups on the
white women of the city.
Four known dead, two mortally
wounded, eight or more seriously
wounded and unknown numbers
slightly wounded or injured in the
fighting and police stations and hos
pitals packed with others, are the
result of the most disorderly times
the national capital has seen probab
ly since the civil war.
Although reinforced with marines
anil cavalry patrolling Pennsylvania
avenue, the police were as powerless
to cope with the situation as they
were during the celebration March 3,
1913, when the crowd overran them
and all but mobbed the suffragists
parading the avenues.
The score in favor of last night's
lighting was largely in favor of the
negroes, who when the extra cordon
of police and troops quieted Pennsyl
vania avenue and the downtown sec
tion transferred their activities to the
latter barricaded districts.
From trolley cars and swiftly mov
ing automobiles, negro desperadoes
(wed revolver shots into groups of
whites wherever they could find them
and in some cases there was firing
into houses in which negroes, terri
fied but not cowed, had concealed
themselves.
Today the local authorities are con
ferring with war department officials
on measures to stop the rioting. To
day it is suggested that troops be
brought in thoroughly to police the
city."
While in the minor disorders on Sat
urday and Sund?y nights, crowds of
white men assumed the aggressive,
last night's rioting was marked by
general preparedness on the part of
the negroes who during the day pur
chased hundreds of revolvers and ear
ly in the evening formed into crowds
and attacked white men wherever
found.
Police reports early today told
of another white woman attacked and
injured at Capitol Heights in the
northeast part of the city. The
negro who had loitered about the wo
man's house all day yesterday, was
first scared away and concealed him-

Anotherv heavy downpour- 0f rain
early this "morning measuring prob
ably an inch sent a flood of water into
the Catawba river to giiive trouble low
er down the stream. Around Hickory
this niver jhas not been out df banks
and little damage has been caused
this side of South Carolina. This also
is likely the case with the Yadkin, an
other hefty stream of the Piedmont.
The weather bureau has issued flood
warning for South Carolina and East
ern North. Carolina and inquiries have
reached the Record as to flood damage
in this section. With the exception of
the South Fork river, a small stream
which quickly overflows and as quickly
subsides, there has been little cause
ior anxiety. Even the South Fork,
however, has done very little harm
thus far.
. The Southern Power Company's
b?'g impounding reservoir at Bridge
water has caught millions of barrels
of water and held it, and very probably
prevented serious flood conditions far
ther down stream. At the highest
point here, the Catawba was not more
than 11 feet and at Mount Holly it
was not salid to be over 35 feet,
though yesterday afternoon it did not
iappear to have been that high.
The Catawba flows through South
Carolina and empties into the Atlan
tic Ocean at Murphy, a point between
Georgetown and Charleston. It is
known as the Wateree river when it
enters York county, S. C, and as the
North Santee just before its mouth.
The Congaree, a large stream, empties
into it north of Sumter. It is in this
section of South Carolina, low and flat,
where most damage probably will oc
cur in case of flood. There are thous
ands of square miles of swamps from
Columbia to the coast, but a deluge
will send the water out of the swamps
jnto the cultivated areas.
The Yadkin river empties into the
Atlantic at Georgetown. There it is
known as the Great Pee Dee. Near
Bennettsville, VS. C, it is known as the
Pee Dee and here it is a mighty
stream.

Washington, July 22. President
Wilson was sufficiently recovered to

conferences with Republican senators
at the white house without objection
from Rear Admiral Cary T. Grayson,
his personal physician .
The president went into conference
at 10 o'clock with Senator Edge of
New Jersey and he hoped to fill other
engagements which he was forced to
defer yesterday because of an acute
attack of intestinal trouble which de
veloped upon his return from a week
end trip down the Potomac.
Senator Norris of Nebraska, one
of the senators invited to the white
house yesterday, declined the invita
tion, but others whom the president
expected to see today were Senators
Calder of New York and Cummings

The situation as to war-risk insur
ance for the army and navy, as re
vealed by the advisory committee1
headed by CharlesE. Hughes, is in
keeping with the carelessness so often
remarked in the American people.
Although on small payments the poli
cies may be maintained by all service
men in time of peace, it develops that
of the more than 4,000,000 written
during the war three-fourths have
been allowed to lapse. Further proof of

It is hardly the duty of government
to force its benevolence upon anybody
but the benefits of this insurance on
easy terms are so great and they
have been so well earned by those
entitled to them that the plan of the
Hughes committee to give the widest
publicity to the privilege for the pur
pose of reinstating as many policies
as possible deserves hearty support.
To this end the cooperation of the
press arid social and industrial organ

SYNOD DELEGATES
ENJOY AUTO RIDE
Conover, July 22. The Lutheran
convention at Conoyer is nearing its
close. Monday morning's session
was largely given over to hearing the
reports of the many committees. Am
ong others which received a hearing
were: The committee on the treas
urer's report, on the finance commit
tee's report, on the report of the
southeastern mission and church ex
tension board, on application and con
stitutions, etc. Much routine busi
ness was transacted.
Monday afternoon the delegates
enjoyed a fine auto ride. The route
led over to Hickory, where a stop
was made to allow the delegates to
visit the Ivey cotton mills. To many
this was a rare treat, as they had
never seen a cotton mill in operation
before. The trip then continued on
to Rhodhiss across the Catawba river,
then circling around and returning
to Hickory by another route. A
short stop was made at the Catawba
Creamery, where all the delegates
were served with delicious ice cream.
In all there were forty-three cars in
line, the longest automobile proces
sion ever seen in Catawba county. It
is safe to say that many delegates
from the north and west will go home
with a better impression of the beau
ty of this part of the country.

London, July 22. At what was
virtually an all night session, the
house of commons completed its con
sideration of both the German peace
treaty and the Anglo-French conven
tion. The bill carrying approval of the
German treaty was considered in com
mittee of the whole, exciting lengthy
debate in which Premier Lloyd George
took a leading part.
The bill was then put before the
house and passed its third reading
and then a motion by John Delvin to
reject it as a protest against the pre
mier's attitude towards Ireland was
defeated 163 to 4.
Then at 3 a. m. the Anglo-French
I act was taken up and the bill approv
ing it was unanimously adopted after
a short but sharp debate in which the
argument that the treaty was not
consistent with the spirit of the leag
ue of nations failed to find any sub
stantial echo.
The German treaty passed through
all its stages without amendment.

INTERESTING SERVICE
AT ST. ANDREW'S LUTHERAN
ETHEL CLAYTON AT
THE PASTIME TODAY
The program at the Pastime today
will be Ethel Clayton in "The Mys

George Barr McCutcheon, author
of "The Mystery Girl" Ethel Clay
ton's new Paramount picture, is one
of the most popular of American
Sunday a special service was held
at St. Andrew's, under the auspices of
the missionary societies of the congre
gation. The general subject for the
evening was Christian Stewardship,
ana tne special ohject of the service
was to render aid to the Lutheran
mission at Morganton.
The program was conducted by the
pastor, the Rev. John C. Peery, who
made a short talk upon Christian
stewardship, laying chief emphasis
upon the fact of stewardship, and
asking his auditors to make, after
careful investigation and study, a
real investment of the funds intrust
ed to them for the advancement of
the Kingdom, as good stewards are
bound to do.
The spiritual ills of many Christian
people, and the suitable remedies for
them, were graphically shown in a
"clinic" conducted by the young peo
ple. Miss Mary Hoffman was the
physician, Miss Lula Yount the
nurse and the patients were Misses

"Green Fancy" from which "The
Mystery Girl" was taken is one of the
best known.
Like so many of McCutcheon's
stories it has to do with an imagin
ary kingdom, called Lurania. The
story is modern, the early scenes
taking place in France on the west
front where the heroine, Princess
"Ted," is an ambulance driver. There
a young American army captain
meets her, and ; later when the prin
cess comes to America to meet her
uncle, whom the Germans have driv
en from his kingdom, the captain,
who has been ordered home becaus
of temporary disability, is brought
in closer touch with the princess win
ning her iove, and both return to the
battlefields of France.
