R. D. Jonas, sought by the Chicago police in con-' nection with riots there yesterday in which two persons were killed following the burning of an American flag, is known here as "Rev. Dr. R.

D. Jonas, secretary of the League of Darker People." He appeared in the interests of the Black Star Line owners of the steamer Yarmouth, whose $5,000,006 cargo of liquorwas seized by federal agents here after the vessel had returned to port following departure forCuba a few hours before nrnfiihitinn law wpnfc in pffeet. i'jf'j Vina in- in- 1 station just aftr he had purchased a ticket to St. I The other-prisoners are said to have been occupants of automobile in the parade. All are being detained for further examination.

Negro Tells of Radicals. Jonas, who was siiu at liberty this morning after an all night hunt by-police, was found by a reporter, and told his version of th3 ricting. He said he met Redding, who poses as an Abyssinian," in New York several weeks ago and had Hater introduced the Abyssinian, to President Wilson at Washington. Reddng, Jonas said, told him he has rectntly been in Abyssinia when ask! how he got there, explained that 3ie "took an airship from Mexico." Jcnas saidhe accompanied the negroes to Chicago two weeks ago to ask the Republican convention to incorporate a plank in the platfofm providing for the resumption of the Abyssinian treaty with the United States, which expired in 1017. Since coming here, he declared, he had denounced Redding and the other "Abyssinian princes" to the federal authorities as radicals, but without result.

The propaganda circulated among Chicago negroes by th3 "princes," Jcnr.s said, was signed by "George Gabriel, Abyssinian and Redding. It gave the offices of the organization as 1812, Thirteenth street, Washington, D. in cart of Mrs. Da-Yney, and 115 West ISSth street, New York City, in care of Charles Manson.

St. Home Sellers I fill VS I' Jonas who claimed to haver come frcm Norfolk, charged that the negro owners of the Yarmouth had been the victims of a plot to steal the liquor, which had culminated in its seizure.

Elo H. Healy, counsel for the BlacK Star company, said today that Jonas had no connection with the concern, lie declared the company was financed by negroes and that alleged statements by Jonas to the effect that friends of Irish freedom had aided the line were "absolutely untrue."

It operates the Yarmouth and two other steamers in a passenger and cargo carrying service between New rork and the West Indies and Colon, Panama. All the owners of the company, according to Mr.

Healy are British citizens and natives of the West Indies LITTLE LOCALS Motored Here From Idaho. M. and Mrs. A. A.
