East St. Louis, 111., July, 3.—At
least fifteen negroes were shot and
killed by mobs last night as they fled
from their burning domes', which had
been set on fire by white mobs.
How many negroes perished in the
burning homes is unknown and will
not be ascertained until the ruins are
searched.
Military rule was proclaimed at
o’clock and at the same time 300
white men were arrested and locked
up at police headquarters.
Negro quarters in various parts of
the city were on fire and the flames
reached the very edge of the business
district,
Hundreds of whites stood around
the edges of the burning district and
fired at the negroes as they fled from
the homes.
This city last night presented
w«ird pnd terrible sight. Vast clouds
of smoke rolled across the sky, flames
made some of the downtown streets
as light as day, and now and then
yelling mob rushed down a street in
pursuit of a negro or in search of
new excitement. National guardsmen
loaded in auto trucks dashed after the
mob and in a few minutes the shout
ini; died down and the bewildered peo-
ple walked up and down the streets,
wondering where the last outbreak oc-
curred.
This morning the worst is believed
to be over, in the judgment of Col.
Tripp the personal representative of
Governor Lowden. He is in charge of
eight companies of Hlinois National
Guard now patrolling the city. The
mob seems to have spent itself. The
fighting is confined to desultory firing
in different parts of the city, and
most of the fires have burned them-
selves out. The exact number of the
dead may never be known. The au-
thorities state that at least a hundred
negroes have perished and five hun-
dred have been wounded, of probably
even a greater number. Only two
white men are known to be dead and
a score badly injured.
Property Loss Great.
Chief of Police Hickey told the Unit-
ed Press reporter today that he be-
lieved more than one hundred ne
groes are dead here. We have one
hundred and five names on incomplete
list, but have not yet found all the
bodies. I estijnate the injured of both
blacks and whites as seven, hundred
and fifty, but any statement at this
time can be no more than an esti-
mate.
The fire loss will probably reach
two million dollars. Fifteen square
blocks have been burned over. All
troops have been ordered to shoot to
kill should rioting be resumed. Work-
ers are now searching the ruins for
bodies.
The exact number of dead will nev-
er be known as many bodies have been
thrown into the river and others burn-
ed.
ORDERED DRASTIC MEASURES.
By United Press.
Springfield, Mo., July 3.—Use most
drastic measures if necessary to stop
rioting and outrages is the blanket
orders transmitted by Governor Low-
den to Adjutant General Dickson of

What the Fourth means this year
TOMORROW is our National Anniversary; this great democracy is one hundred
and forty-one years old. But this year the “Fourth” is more than a celebration of
this fact; it has a new meaning and a deeper significance. It isn’t only a tribute to
the courage of the men and women who made these United States possible, but it’s
a promise to their memory that, in Lincoln’s words, “Government of the people, by
the people, and for the people shall not perish from the earth.”’ < v
*
And every one of us must do our port to fulfill this obligation.

any ground.
