RACE RIOTS
OUTBREAK IN DETROIT
FATAL & OTHER CASUALTIES.
ORDER RESTORED BY TROOPS
(By Telegraph—Press Association— Copyright) (Received This Day, 11.55 a.m.) WASHINGTON, June 22. Twenty negroes and three whites were killed and over 700 people were injured in race riots in Detroit. Order was restored by troops sent to the city after the Secretary for War (Mr Stimson) had directed Major-General Aurant, head of the Sixth Service Command, to use troops to suppress the riots. No official explanation of the cause has been given, but correspondents believe the riots started after clashes between whites and negroes. President Roosevelt has issued a proclamation ordering all persons engaged m unlawful insurrectionary proceedings, in Detroit to retire peaceably to their homes.
