LOUIS, July 3. Fires were burning in five parts of East St. Louis at 1 o'clock this morning and at least 20 dead negro bodies and crowded hospitals testified to the terror that reigned here last night while mob after mob swept the streets seeking negroes whom they, might slay. 1 At this hour it was impossible to make an accurate estimate of the number of dead. Five negro sections; of the city were fired by mobs, terrorized negroes fled from their burning homes only to meet bullets fromthe gunsjof the rioters; four other negroes were shot by snipers and two were lynched.

One white man was killed by a negroisnipcr and before the burning began tonight four negroes and one white man were killed. This the. detectiYC sergeant whose death at the hands of a negro mob late Sunday night was the direct cause of the outbreak Monday i afternoon and night. Estimates of the number of dead ran up to 100 and higher. Adjutant General Frank Dickson arrived shortly after midnight and took charge of the situation.

At 1 a. m. the fires were under control. Rioters for the most part had dispersed. "Five, hundred ringleaders of the mob, I am informed are under arrest," said General Dickson.

"This was accomplished by surrounding the rioters and forcing them For Food BiU To Limit Debate on "Dry" Clause; Passage in the Senate Expected This Week WASHINGTON, July 2, Controversy in the senate over the food control bill and Its prohibition feature reached such an acute stage today that formal steps were taken by administration leaders to limit debate and force' a final vote this week by invoking, for the first time the senate's new cloture rule. Within half an hour many more than the necessary 16 senators' signatures tb a cloture motion were secured. Senator Chamberlain announced to" the senate later that he would offer the motion tomorrow and ask for a vote on it Thursday. It sadoptlon would require a two thirds vote and thereafter would ilmit each senator's time upon the bill and all amendments to one hour. Many senators say that until the prohibition issue is settled the necessary two thirds vote for cloture cannot be secured.

Others point out, however, that the vote on Bhutting off debate at least "will show up" on record those not in favor of expediting the bill as desired by the president. The movement for use of the cloture rule came after the senate had adopted the section by a vote of 42 to 16, extending government control In addition to food and fuels, iron, steel, copper, wool, hides and skins, lead aluminum, farm Implements, fertilizers, hemp and other binding twine materials and their products. A skirmish on prohibition occurred just before the senate recessed tonight to meet an hour earlier than usual tomorrow. The "wets" and "drys" clashed when Senator Penrose, opposing any attempt at cloture, suggested that prohibition's friends had been delaying action. Senator Jones of Washington vehemently denied the charge and asserted that the delay had been caused oy prohibition's opponents.

Senator Sheppard asljcd consent for a vote tomorrow on the liquor question but Senator Penrose objected. The dispute over prohibition was opened anew when the agriculture committee approved an amendment by Senator Gore proposing that manufacture of distilled spirits shall be prohibited and the president given poWer to suspend the marketing of beer an( whiskey. Leaders of both "wet" and "dry" factions tonight were predicting victory in the prospective open, clean-cut fight in the senate over empowering the president to deal with light beverages. The prohibition fight Is not scheduled to reach the senate floor until late this week. Tho cloture motion, presented tomorrow, will under the rules, He over until Thursday and then be subject to a vote without debate.

GOAL STAB, BAKER IS IGIIORED WASHINGTON July2. Preparation for are registration selection and exemption, of the now national army advanced another step today when President Wilson promulgated tho regulation.

to govern exemptions from military service. Local exemption boards already have been appointed and the issuance of regulations will Hermit them to organize Immediately and prepare for the concluding phases of the task of getting the men under training for duty In France. In the order In which they must come there are three ttepa In formation of the army as prescribed by congress. These are registration selectlo nand exemption. The first step haf been carried through and approximately 1,000,000 men between 21 and 31 years of age have been registered.

The regulations Issued today cover in detail the operation of the third step, exemntlon. Information concerning the second step in the series, however, still is lacking and officials ore guarding closoly the method by which selection la to be applied. The exemption regulations announced that tho boards will be advised of the selection process later, although no steps prescribed except the organization of tho boards can be carried on until the selection machinery has furnished the names of the men claiming exemption. The local boards are directed upon organization to take over from the registration precincts the cards and lists of the men registered on June 6 and as their first duty, to provide a seriol number for each registration card. This has given support to the belief that the selection is to be by number.

Reports were current recently that the selection drawing was to be made in Washington. SELECTION METHOD NOT ANNOONCEO. Presumably the process of selection will be. announced only a short time before It Is put into operation. When thut will, bo is not known.
