Washington, July 22. — Proclama- ' tion of martial law may be necessary to end race rioting here, which resulted last night in the killing of four i known persons, two mortally wounded, eight or more seriously wounded, an unknown number slightly wounded or injured in the fighting and police stations and hospitals packed with ! others. Several days of disorders, folj lowing a wave of attacks on white women, robberies and assaults by ne- ! groes culminated in a series of race I battles during the night with which , the police were unable to cope fully, i in spite of the aid of military provost guards, and the national capital has j seen probably the most disorderly ! times since the Civil War. The dead include Detective Ser- , geant Hurry Wilson, shot through the • heart by a negro girl when he entered : a house from which she was firing indiscriminately into the street. The coming of daylight and a terrific thunderstorm which deluged the city put an end to the fighting. Detective Bernard W. Thompson was seriously wounded by a negro woman in the same part of the city. Four negro it.en are dead and several others are believed to have been

fatally wounded.

Three patrolmen were included in the list of badly wounded. Although two troops of cavalry from Ft. Myer had been called out to patrol the .streets, and 400 marines from Quantico and the Washington marine barracks had been added to I the provost guard as a precaution against disorders, the situation at times last night was more than the authorities could handle. The Herald is in receipt of a program for the Ib.'lrd organ recital of the University of Illinois, Mrs. Josephine Armstrong Binyon, organis,. Mrs. Binyon formerly was a Green, castle girl and has many friends here. She now resides at 703 West California street, Urbana, 111. The program indicates that the ability of Mrs. Binyon, wh o before leaving Greencastle wag recognized as a musician of note, is of much mo, it.

approval of both PACTS BY BRITAIN London, July 22.—At what was virtually an all-night session, the House °f Commons completed its consideration of both the German peace treaty an d the Anglo-French convention, similar to the proposed FrancoAmerican pact, promising aid to • ranee in case of German aggression. The bill carrying approval of the German treaty was considered in com-

mittee of the whole, exciting a long debate, in which Vernier Lloyd George took an active part. The bill was then placed before the House and passed its third reading after a motion by John Devlin to reject it as a protest against the premier’s attitude toward Ireland had been defeated by 163 to 4. At 3 a. m. the Anglo-French pact was taken up and the bill approving 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 laegue of nations failed to find any substantial echo. The German treaty passed through all its stages without amenitment. In closing his speech on the treaty thepremier, while making no claim of perfection for it, expressed confidenc thate any defects would be remedied by the lagu of nations. Notwithstanding its imperfections, the premier declared, the treaty would

Chicago, July 22.—Official inquiry was started today by Maclay Hoync, state’s attorney, to fix responsibility for the explosion and collapse of the dirigible that crashed through the roof of the Illinois Trust and Savings Bank, yesterday afternoon, killing eleven persons and injuring twentysix others. Charles F. Clyne, United States district attorney, also assigned an assistant United States attorney to attend the coroner's inquest. Seventeen employes of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company, of Akron, O., owner of the airship, have been detained pending a decision as to whether charges of criminal carelessness shall be filed against them. Among those detained are Jack Boettner, pilot of the dirigible, who escaped by jumping with a parachute, and W, C. Young, in charge of the aeonautic department of the Goodyear company. The corporation counsel today began the work of drafting an ordinance regulating the operation of aircraft above the city. Of the eleven dead, nine were employes of the bank and two were passengers in the airship. Three persons in the airship escaped. When the balloon crashed through the skylight of the bank from a height of about 500 feet at 5 o'clock, more than 200 employes, mostly girls, were at work. Heavy -Supports Snapped. Of all the buildings in Chicago’s business district, the one struck was the most likely victim for such ar accident. A two-story structure, squatting among the giants of Chicago's financial district, it was the only one with a skylight of such proportion*. The heavy machinery of the dirigible came dour with such force that ste* supports for the heavy glass ross were snapped like matches. The balVion, 160 feet in length, with its five bassengers, was making its maiden trip above the city in the interest of iuh amusement park. It was built at a cost of $100,000 at the hangar in the park and trips yesterday were romplimentary to army officers and newspaper men. It made several short cruises successfully. Flame, Then Smoke. According to witnesses, a spurt of flame appeared at the stern, above the engine In a moment there was a puff of smoke ami the flames attacked the big egg-shajied gas bag. Almost simultaneously four parachutes leaped from the airship. Three got clear of the burning craft but the fourth was caught in the falling baloon and burned, its passenger, Carl Weaver, mechanic, of Akron, plunging to death. Earl Davenport publicity man for the amusement park and at one time a sporting writer, did not jump from the dirigible. His body wag hurled through the bank roof and burned to a crisp. Harry Wacker, Akron, O., chief mechanic of the dirigible, was one of

Eggers, who was arrested on a charge of vagrancy, also was discharged. Eggers told the police the men who were in an automobile had stopped him on the bridge and asked him to give them some gasoline.

Stone, who has been added as a special attraction of the Greencastle Chautauqua on August 1 comes with a record for having assisted in the physical training of more than 1,000,000 American boys who were inducted into the United States army.
