headed by Mustapha Kemal, are to be

Smyrna will have to sacrificed.
Premier Venlzeloi claims he will ho

by the Allies, but French military ex
perts point out that this would neces
sitate a stronger alliance than I i pos

IjONDON. June 20. The St'.v and New

Informed that the Anglo-French finan
cial experts have reached a full agree
ment on the plan of "mobilizing" Ger
man liabilities, which Involves the do
tation of a huge International loan guar
anteed by the Allies. It Is no secret
here that the development of this scheme
received an impetus trom the news of
the readiness with which the lielglan
loan was absorbed in the United States
nnd reports that the loan was largely
taken by relatively small Investors.
As to the situation In the Near Fast,
It Is recoenlzed that every day new
facts enforce the conclusion that the
Allies soon will have to deal with a new
factor, the Nationalist Government of
-Mustapha Kemal. Tho Hrltlsh believe

Lo.N'DONnKitnv, June 20. Five persons
wero killed, ten wero seriously wounded,
several probably mortally, and about
100 others wero less seriously Injured
in desperate rioting In this city Satur
day night between Unionist and Na
tionalist mobs. The fl?htlng wan ac
companied by several attempts nt in
cendiarism, one of which resulted In
the burning of a large dry goods titore.
The rioting was a continuation of tho
disorders, of Friday night, when Na
tionalists and Unionists were engaged
In clashes for several hours und the
military had to bn called out. Tho
military remained in what were con
sidered tho danger zones, but not
withstanding its presence the disor
derly elements held sway for some
time.
In many Instances persons who were
suffering from minor wounds went
home without receiving treatment.
The authorities have no record of the
number of such cases. Among the
wounded are several shipyard workers
with bad gunshot wounds. The men
killed were Edwin Price, James Mc
Veigh, Thomas McLaughlin, Thomas
Farren and James Doherty.
The authorities had taken elaborate
precautions In view of the expected re
newal of the disorders. The mllltarj,
fully equipped, took positions at the
head nnd foot of ilrldge street, which
hi tho Nationalist qua! tor, and on Foun
tain stieet, the Unionist quarter. An
armored car was drnwn up at Carlisle
road, between these localities, to keep
the rival factions apart.
N'lKlit nt Terror In City.
The hopes that these precautions
would lead to the preservation of peace,
however, were not fulfilled, and an
other night of terror resulted. Theso
latest scenes of rioting, which left tho
city absolutely terror stricken, were said
lo have originated In what nt first ap
peared to be a minor fuabh!o between
Unionists and Nationalists at the Junc
tion of Longtower street, In the Nation
alist quarter, nnd upper Fountain street,
the Unionist district, these two streets
be'ng separated only by Hlshop street,
the scene of bloodshed for many years
during periods of rioting. .Men armed
with rifle, and revolvers afterward
came Into conflict before the mllltnry
could intervene.
From shortly after ii until 11 o'clock
pandemonium reigned. A shot fired
from one party Into a crowd of rival
partlrans developed with ominous speed
Into violent ilotlng. Pnrtii cries were
raised nnd the Unionists, assembled Jt
the head of upper Fountain street,
poured volley after volley of rifle and
revolver fire Into Longtower street with
disastrous tesiilts.
Another crowd of Unionises In Albert
street maintained a crossfire In the di
rection of nisbop's Gate, with tho result
that the people In the vicinity fled panic
stricken to shelter. The Nationalists
did not seem to be so well provided with
weapons ns their opponents, but' they
maintained a vigorous defence.
Ilnliy Wounded, Tiro Men Kllleil.
In an early stag.' of the battle two
men were shot dead In Longtower street
al several persons, Including a baby In
arms, were wounded. McVeigh, a quay
laborer, was on his way to a butcher's
shop and when he reached the end of
Longtower street a bullet struck him In
the throat.
Armed police on duty were compelled
to telephone for military assistance.
'Hut before reenforcements arrived the
I lot flared to greater Intensity and the
tiring by the Unionists became so hot
that people who Irid been seeking shel
ter In doorways were seen to be crawling
nlong the ground to places of greater
i safety.
! Gradually the Unionists gnlncd con-
1 trol of the entire district In the centra
; of the city, chasing the Nationalists
' into their own (ocnllty. In their re
' treat tbo latter, fired volleys Into the
Masonic. Hall, the windows of which
were broken.
! The Unionists posted small groups nt
vantage points nnd kept up a con
i tlnuous fire. It was hero Price wns
i klllod as he entered the doorway of
the Diamond Hotel, where he lived.
; Tho bullet entered his abdomen, pierced
' a two Inch door and finally became em
i bedded In a wall. Price served with an
ambulance corps in the Ulster division
throughout the war, having come from
America to enlist. He was waiting an
i opportunity to return.
The military arrived In the centre of
, the city nt about 11 o'clock nnd an
. armored car was moved to Hlshop's
.Gate, whereupon the rioting subsided, al
though occasional shots were still heard.
The Unionists left the neighborhood
singing nnd cheering.
', There were scenes of wild disorder
a'.i-o In Waterloo place, n Protestant
' quarter, where Nationalists for a couple
I of hours stopped and examined all per
, sons who attempted to p-iss. Many
shots were fired Indiscriminately, and
several persons were Injured. Automo
biles v-ere also stopped. The occupants

Chicago, June 20. Two white men
were killed, several persons wero shot
and stabbed and a negro policeman
wounded to-night In tho heart of
Chicago's black belt when five Jackles
from tho Great Lakes Naval Train
ing Station charged a parade of the
Abyssinian Club, several hundred
strong, composed exclusively of negro
AbysMnns, and who. the police declare,
are radicals. The immediate cause of
the charge on the part of the white
sailors was the carrying nloft of a
red (lag, the official emblem of tho
negro radicals.
The deud aie: It. L. Pose, sailor of
the Great Lakes Training Station, and
Joseph iloyt, clerk In a cigar store.
According to reports the Abytslnlan
Club conducted a mam meeting to-night
In a lull at Thirty-fifth street nnd In
dlnna avenue, to Interest their fellow
countrymen In the eausu of radicalism,
A parade was scheduled for the main
streets as n climax. The parade had
Just started when five snllors emerged
from a cafe on tho corner. At the sight
of the Abysslan red flag can led at tho
head o. the parade the Jackles .charged
the lenders. A handful of the leaders
illsappented around the corner and In
an Int'tant returned In a big touring
car loaded with rifles.
At that time Hose was engaged in a
heated argument with the marshal of
the parade for carrying a red Hag and
no American Hag. One of the occupants
of the automobile pulled out a tnlnlaturo
American Hag, struck a match nnd set
fire to the Hag.
Hose nnd 1.1s sailor companions made
a move to their iockcts as If they were
about to draw revolvers when ono of
the mgroes stabbed Hose Just below
the heart. He staggered Into a cigar
store near the corner. Iloyt, the clerk,
who was alone In the store, pulled Hose
behind a counter nnd while trying to
defend him wan clubbed on the head
with the butts of several revolvers by
the Abjsslnlans. The radicals went
outside to look for the other sailors.
They had disappeared. A volley from
several of the rifles was fired at both
Hose and Iloyt by the Abysslnlans, and
both the sailor and the cigar storo clerk
fell to the floor of the store dead.
Policeman Owen, a negro, dashed
upon the scene at this time and while
he was engaged In rearchlng one of the
Abysslnlans for concealed weapons, one
of the negro radicals whipped out his
revolver and fired four times. Owen Is
believed to be dying at the Michael
Iteee Hospital.
Chief of Police John J. Garrlty. with
vivid recollection of the race riots of a
year ago In precisely the same district,
in which several whites and negroes
were hilled, ordered out a special detail
of 200 policemen to patrol the district.
Several negro suspects are under ar
rest to-night.

Discovery of a man who telephoned
to Joseph Howne Elwell and spoke to i
him over the wire at his home at 244 j
West Seventieth street at 2:30 o'clock
on the morning on which lie wns slain !
added yesterday to the mystery sur-!
rounding the death of the noted whist!
player and turf man. :
This man's statement, given to the
District Attorney and Implicitly be
lieved by that official, contradicts tho
story of one of Elwcll's neighbors, who 1
has stated that he saw the card ex
pert arrive home at 3:4.1 A. M, In an
automobile driven by another man.
It also sets in operation a theory :
'that the neighbor might have been
mistaken regarding the Identity of the
man he saw alighting from the road
ster, and that this man may have been
tho mysterious visitor who, i-cveral
hours later, fired a bullet from an au
tomatic pistol Into Elwell's bruin
So important was this theory re
garded by the prosecutor's staff that
John T. Dooling, Assistant District
Attorney, made efforts last night to
locate this neighbor,, and to question
him regarding his recollection of the
roadster that he saw before the slain
man's door nnd the appearance of Its
two occupants.
DooIIiik I'nlli to rind Mini.
He could not find this neighbor, who
In John Iwlale, and who lives in a large
apartment house two doors east of fil
well's late home, but ho talked with tho
man's uncle, who said he hnd discussed
the matter with Mr. Isilale, and thnt he
had been positive of tho details of the
Incident. !
Tho uncle told Mr. Dooling that Mr.
Isdale, who Is first ofllecr on tho steam
ship Arlnno, belonging to Furness,
Withy St Co, Ltd , had been sleeping on
the night of the tragedy In a room over
looking the street, nnd In the end of the
big apartment nearest to the Elwell
house.
He had been extremely restless, he said,
and had Just dropped off to sleep when
he was awakened by the nolso of a high
power car passing the hotuse with the
cut out open. As it stopped near by
and remained with motor purring, he be
camo so annoyed that lie arose and
looked out of the window.
Then lie saw the man whom he took
to he Elwell bid good night to the other
occupant and go up on the Elwe'l door
step ns tho car, which he describes as
of particularly rakish style, went away
In the direction of llrondway. Looking
nt his watch, he saw that It was exactly
3 :45.
Mr. Isdale, Mr. Dooling was told, Is In
Philadelphia, and Is expected back
within a few days, when lie will be
asked to call at the District Attorney's
otilci'. It was said yesterday that al
though a dozen or more detectives
loitered around the Elwell house for n
week after the murder, nnd although
John F. Joyce, Assistant District Attor
ney, and head of the homicide bureau, In
the prosecutor's office, spent six days at
the Elwed ueaise, there had been no
thorough examination of Isdale on this
important point.
Sure of Time of Phone Call.
The name of the man who telephoned
to Elwell nt 2:30 o'clock on that morn
ing was withheld yesterday at the Dis
trict Attorney's office. It was learned,
however, that he Is certain of the time.
at which the conversation took place, for
which reason It appears that Elwell must
have gone home Immediately after oid-
dlng goodbye to Mr. and Mrs. Wnlter
Lewisohn and other friends In front of
tha entrance to the Zlegfeld Midnight
Frolic nt about 1:45 o'clock. This shat
ters various stories indicating that
Elwell wns dancing at a cabaret after
leaving the Lewlsohns.
Mr. Dooling expressed the opinion
that the position of the unoccupied arm
chair in tbe room with Elweil's body i
mny have Important bearing upon the
mystery. From the position of this
chair, about three feet from Elweil's
body. It is thought probable that his
murderer had been silting down con
versing with him and that the shot was
fired from a sitting posture. This would
explain the peculiar manner In which
the bullet happened to glance upward
and how it came to emerge through the '
top of the head.
Thnt the cigarette stitm;i which the
police found upon the mantel was left
hv tho slayer Is necmlngly Indicated by'
the fact that It was not of the quality
Elwell carried. This alone, in the'

Indication tint President Wilson Is
priming himself to obtain If possible a
third term nomination at Fan Fran
cisco it became known to-day that ho
lias made the most elalwrnte plana for
the control of the convention from
start to .finish. F.vcry ounce of forco
at the Administration command wilt
be utilized to do Mr. Wilson's bidding,
and it Is the avowed purport' ot his
group to clinch. It It can be hv,o. every
Important convention situation which
would tnako easier Us direction from
the White I louse.
1 Six members o: the Wilson Cabinet
will lie on the ground. They are now
on their way to San FrJiiclsco, in-
tending to get there early, and ench ot
' them has personal instructions from
1 Mr. Wilson still ringing In Ids ears.
I.lki.vli-c, Mr. Wilson is in touch with
. the diimlnunt members of tho Demo

larly with Chairman Cummin?, who
already Is on the Job, hav ng had thu
seciut plan of action Imparted to him

Senator Glass (Vn.) Is on his way to
San Francis, o, looked upon as the chief of
nil the Pre sld .Mit'a spokesmen, whose par
ticular as Ignmcnt, since he is likely to
bo the chairman of the resolutions com
nm tee, Is to obtain first and furemost a
complete Indorsement of the League of
Nations plan In the platform along the
lines of thu Virginia Democrats' plat
form, of which hu Is thu author.
The hand pli bed group may bo relied
upon by Mr. Wlhou to do whatever hu
as "i and whenever he asks It It Is a
f.til. t lineup of i.trlit Wilton Democrats
In whom .Mr Wll-on hn full lonftdenco

any of them or to xtliera whom ho will
have on the nine that he Is ready to
have ins name presented lo the tonven
lloii, It will be ns good ns done
As far as this group Is concerned the
Instrujtloiis up to date have been con
fined to matters of the platform, the
question of candidates remaining very
iiiui h up in the air. Candidates have
been discussed with Mr. Cummlngs and
the Cabinet members, but In suili a gen
eral way that eniouiageinent may bo
had for an one of several who are
clashed as sirkt Wilson followets. And
In thin tiioie May lie a certain Wilson
strntegv wi.Ich would help along tho
deadlo, k tb.it seems very snre and pre
cipitate .i cond.tiuM where u wuulo c-u
necessary to "foice" the nomination on
tne natural party leader.
If Mr. llso.i were to get Into tho
line for reelection lu would want to bo
"compelled" to run. So far as coming
out Into thu open as a candidato Is ton-
'Tiled, that Is the last tiling which nicy
ne expected. As a politician Mr. Wilson
Is In no means a novice and he realize
as well as aubod) the perils that would
come to him weiu lie to give tho word
opt'ill th.'.t he is a candidate.
