patrols which took control of the rural
commune of Hamborn on Wednesday
night have been removed, and this ac
tion ou the part of the allied command
has tended to ease the situation at
Duisburg.
Ollicials declare the pnlmls were

curity police here and allied troops has
been effectid ns n result of German in

For the first time since th at
tempt of the Grammar Guards to
break through the Fun lines and roll
back the l.oubrow forces, I have
been able to obtain a statement from
General Glee at his headquarters.
With all his communications intact,
the veteran warrior was able to give
me a comprehensive idea of vw lint this
victory means in the final outcome.
(Lengthy details of what corre
spondent had to drink elided by

I may say without violating any
confidence thnt, the Donovan-Armstrong
Co. having thrown Into .the
balance Its expert stall", the many
dictionary objectives in sight are
mute evidence of widespread tragedy.
The brief stand of the Wellesley
llhetorlcals against the I'up army is
now just one more chapter In the
triumphant march of the latter to
ward world-power.
Non It con be told thnt the Donovan-Armstrong
contingent, which
was at first unwillingly aligned for
the smashiug of the Grammar
Guards, was prevailed upon to sweep
their positions with all available bat

little or no ammunition in the dumps

"Swat the My" Um'ricks
The girls out at the West Philadel
phia High School are using llm'rlcks to
spread their "swat-the-sprlng-fly"
campaign. Judging from what these
fair students tell us, the aprlnx fir is a
sprendlng-er thing than liin'rirkltts and
anything thnt ran spread faster than
that Is some sprender.
The enormous summer crop of flics
develops from the few survivors which
live over winter In our houses. Inesc
(lies are just now waking up nnd buz
zing n round the windows.
Given the proper living conditions, a
pair of these can produce a new brood
every ten days. This rate, kept up in
geometric ratio, means that this one
pair would be responsible for the pro
duction of 140,00(1 bushels of flies by
the first of August. This Is about bev
enty freight car loads.
If the same rote continues through
August nnd September the figure is n
thousand nnd ninety-six septillions,
plus especially plus.
They sny that that is enough flies to
spoil every plate of soup since soup was
Invented.
Not only should every surviving fly
seen be "swatted." but we should see
to It thnt any that mayhave passed the
winter under cover out of doors cannot
get Into the garbage can to get their
first meal.
So the girls got up a llm'rick contest
among themselves nud are using the two
winning llm'ricks In their campaign.
Here they are:

Springfleltl, 0.. Mnrch 1-'. Spring
field won quiet this morning following a
night of disorder in which X'atrolmnn
Joseph Ryan and n Negro were wound
ed In interchanges of shots between
police and Negroes.
The trouble, which started shortly
before midnight last night with the
shooting of Patrolman Ryan after he
had ordered a group of Negroes to dis
perse, was the outgrowth a ti assault
Inst Monday night 'on eleven -year-old
Marge Ferneau by an unknown Negro,
who escaped.
Rumors that he had been arrested
caused a crowd to gather at the county
Jail Wednesday night and again Thurs
day night, but these crowds were dia
pcrscd when it was proven the Negro
had not been caught. Crowds gathered
again last night, but bad been dispersed
when the shooting began.

The National Guard companies on
duty here are Company C. Fourth Ohio,
from London, nnil two separate ma
chine gun companies with headnunrters
in this city. The Marysville infantry
company Is en route here.
Last night's rioting apparently came
in three phases. The opening conflict
between officers nnd Negroes came when
Patrolman Ryan was shot three times
after he had Attempted to break up n
crowd of Negroes at Center and .Tef-
tcrson streets, witntn n diock nnd n
half of the police station. Ryan is ex
pected to recotcr.
Officers Barricade Themselves
Later there was another brush in
which a Negro received a fcllght ucalp
wound and later a general pitched bat
tle In which twenty or more shots were
fired between Negroes and officers, tho
Negroes dodging behind trees and build -iric.
and the officers barricading them
selves behind a curbing.
While attempting to pursuade
Negroes to return to their homes and
desist from violence, City Manager
Edgar Parsons, Mayor II. .1. Wcstrott
and Police Prosecutor Robert Flack
were fired upon, but none of them was:
wounded. The officials quickly retreated,
lictween twenty ami thirty arrests
were made during the night. Including
that of one Negro thought to have been
the assailant nf Patrolman Ryan. Po
lice, however, would not confirm his
identity, nor say where ho had been
taken. Most of the remaining prison
ers were held on charges of .disorderly
condurt for Investigation.
Among those held was Asa Smith,

occurred with dynamite on his person,
Plncrs of business closed last night,

nnd trouble seemed Imminent, were
opened for business again today.
National Guardsmen Arrive
Three companies of Ohio Nationnl
Guardsmen, consisting of 150 officers
nnd men, under command of Lieutenant
Colonel II. D. Horner, were on duty
today with headquarters at City Hall.
Military law has not been declared, it
having been announced that the troops
would merely aid tho local authorities
in maintaining order. '
The entire Fourth Ohio Infnntry was
mobilized today In anticipation of fur
ther rioting here, but Colonel Horner
said he did not think It necessary to
call other units at this time.
Although the situation was quiet early
today and no further trouble seemed
imminent, both military and civil au
thorities are taking all precautions to
avoid a recurrence tonight of the racial
trouble.
Sheriff David Jones, of Clark coun

Friend Who Calls Bluff,
Mrs. Mildred Roniface. Known ns the
"Woman Ponzi," met nn old acquain
tance today in the driver of the Front
and Westmoreland streets patrol
wagon.
Mrs. Roniface was being taken from
Mojamensing Prison to Central Sta
tion, to lie turned over to Deputy
Sheriff Harry Kennedy, of Woodbury,
N. J., who had come with requisition
paperfl.
The patrol was delayed for a few
minutes nn the way up from the prison.
Mrs. Roniface turned to the driver.
"Why all this delay?" Mie demanded.
"If you don't hurry up I shall report
vou to Director Corf ely 011 "
" 'fjwan. Miily." replM the driver.
"You can't pull that stuff on me. I'm
too old it guy for thnt I know ull
about you. You used to live up my way.
didn't you? The kind of stuff you're
trying to pull was an, old gag when you
were n kid."
'Well, I see you're on to me,"
lunched Mrs. Roniface.
The arrest of the woman in November
caused a sensation. She wus occused
of having swindled South Jersey people,
posing ns a niece of a New York
financier and taking their money to In
vest nn extravagant promises of big re
turns. She was taken bark to New
Jersey today to answer 11 charge of ob
taining money under false pretense from

Thus the double trade is complete;

With Mr Kendrlck trending the
