While the only, sphere of Intensive
military activity at present is
; on the Austro-ltullan front where General
Cadora is day by day pushing back
the Austrian line on Trieste, there
' " are indications that the stagnation
along the French and British fronts,
In France, may soon be interrupted.
The sign that points most strongly
to an Impending change is the Intense
aerial activity taking place. The British
report last night emphasized this

Committee to Open Room

in tne uarr jtsuiiamg
on Circus Day.
Plans are under way by the Playgrounds
committee of the Woman's
club of which Mrs. C. E. Hutchinson Is
chairman, for the opening of the playgrounds
in this city which will take
place some time near the middle ot
June.
To secure funds needed tot the success
of the grounds, the committee will
serve a counter lunch on circus day,
Saturday, June 2, in the corner room
of the Carr building on Main street and
Cleveland avenue. Cakes, pies, sandwiches,
weines, coffee and buttermilk
will be served and the liberal patronage
of the public and especially the
country folksj who will visit the town
on circus day, is asked.
The Beard of Education has assumed
the responsibility of supplying tho
salary of the supervisor for the playgrounds
who will be Coach Moore of
the High school faculty, but there remflns
yet many expenses which must
be met by the Playgrounds committee
to whom is due the credit for inaugurating
in this city the playgrounds pro
Ject.
A meeting of the committee was held
recently when plans for this lunch
were made.
No date has been set for the opening
of the playgrounds but the date will be
announced In the near future
N. C. FRAME HERE TO

Talked Over Gardening
Which Coal Companies
Are Encouraging.
N. C. Frame, State Agricultural
Agent, was In town today for the purpose
of conferring with the officers
of the West Virginia Coal Operator's
Association In regard to the agricultural
actialtiea in the mining communities
throughout the state.
A great deal of gardening is being
done by the miners and all of the com
panles are encouraging thla In every
possible way but it is felt that . closer
ccoperitlon between those ,vho love
direct charge of the work and the agricultural
agents is desirable and plans
of this character were discussed by
N. C. Frame and H. L. Smith in conference
with the officers of the Association.
Everything possible is being
done to live up to the slogan recently
adopted by the State Agricultural Department,
"Help West Virginia to
Feed Herself."

ME AND TH1
Outbreak Was on Illinois
Side and Grew Out of
a Strike.
EAST ST. LOUIS, 111., May 29.?A
mob of perhaps 2,000 persons went
through the negro quarter during last
night, shot ono colored man, seriously
wounding him, beat scores into unconsciousness,
drove several hundred
negroes across the Mississippi river
bridge into St.. Louis, Mo., and then
dispersed early today.
The assault began after a report was
circulated that a white woman had
been insulted and two white men held
up by negroes just after a committee
from the Central Trade and Labor
Union had attended a meeting of the
city council to make a protest against
the importation of any more colored
laborers into St. Louis.
Shots were fired at frequent inter
vals but only one negro is known to b 5
wounded. He fled to St. Louis and
was found there unconscious with a
bullet wound in his head and three
ribs fractured. All negroes were
searched and if armed beaten into unconsciousness.
Many negroes were given refuge in
the city Jail and at midnight police
estimates were that 2,000 persons surrounded
the building threatening to
storm it. The mob was dissuaded, bowever,
and rushed into the business
section where street cars were stopped
and saloons searched. Several
negro saloons were wrecked and Mayor
Mollman issued an order for all
bars in the city to close.
Riot calls brought the entire city
police force but the mob went virtually
unchecked.
Many workmen here have been Idle
on account of strikes and It Is estimated
that at least 8,000 negroes have
been Imported from the south to take
their places.
The rioting continued lntermltentlly
for over four hours. Governor
Lowden was asked to send troops but
as the National guard had been federalized
it could not answer such a
call.
