STILL RIOTING ? SPRINGFIELD
Springfield, Aug. 15. ? Business is entirely ^iiepended
all stores being closed. The entire city is absorbed in the
scenes and spirit of riot. Chafin, the prohibition candidate
undertook to make a speech to the mob this afternoon de
fending the nVgro. He was struck with a brick hurled from
the midst of the crowd. He turned and ran and was pur
sued for a long distance by the mob but succeeded in mak
ing his escape.
Springfield, Aug. 17. ? The situation here increases in
gravity. During Saturday and Sunday nights rioting was
repeated and the spirit of revenge against the blacks is
spreading to otiier nearby towns. More troops have been
called out and there is now in the field under arms nearly
5000 soldiers.
FEARS WIRELESS WONT WORK
Charles W. Chadbourne, who h&s
been for more than b year located at ,
Circle engaged on the wireless installa
tion at that point came out on Saturday 1
on his way to San Antoaio, Tex., and I
I
goes south on the City of Seattle. Mr.
Chadbourne aays they are installing
3-killowat machines at Circle, Fair
banks and Eagle andlO-killowat at Gib
ton and Nome. Be s.ys the .'t-killowat
are expected to work together and the
10-kiliowat to work together.
Mr. Chadbourne says he doubts
that Fairbanks will be able to
''send" to Gibbon while there ii no
doubt that tha^ town will be able to
"receive" from that point.
He thinks it doubtful that the three
kilowat machines' will have strength to
carry from Circle to Fairbanks al
though they will serve from Circle lo
Eagle SDtl ?loD(f tho river. Mr. Chad
bourne says the government sent in a
one kllowat plant a year ago and at
once found they wt-re not powerful
enough and as a result six men compos
ing the detail sat around all winter
doing nothing. This year they have
repeated the mistake in spite of the
advice of Mr. E. E. Hart, in charge,
who asked for a ten kilowat plant.
Mr. Hart explained tho situation in
here and asked for a ten kilowat out
fit. No attention was paid to the re
quest and a three kilowat was sent
instead. This was done probably to
save expense. If, however, It is found
that tho three kilowat will not serve
then another year will be lost and the
crew of six will be left on the pay roll
with nothing to do ior another winter.
