NEW YORK, Aug. 16.-Such a furious
ebullttion Of race hatred as found vent
In the riodng that occurred here last nj yht
the outgrowth of the murder few days
ago Of Policeman Thorpe by negro nam
CD Arthur Harris, has not been equaled
in New York in many years. AS a result
Of the disturbance which ragged from mid
night until 8 O'clock, and burst out in g.
flame Of passion and violence at intervals
until daybreak there were about fifty
persons injured by pistol balls, razors or
knives, rocks and clubs. OF these one
negro, Lloyd Lee, may not recover, and
Policeman Kennedy Is also seriously in
1ured. Lee is alleged to have made threats
against the life of Kennedy because he
waS the particular friend and associate
OF Thorpe, the murdered officer. Thorpe
was the third white man murderously
assaulted in the vicinity by negroes, and
race prejudice had been engendered. In
less than an hour from the time the
trouble began last night the whole of the
West side, from Twenty-eighth street to
Longacre square, about Forty-second
street. Including Eighth and Ninth ave-
nues, was in an uproar. Forty or more
arrests were made.
Peace was not restored in the anti-negro
riot district until after o'clock this morn
ing During the riot 1t Is estimated that
500 police were on duty, and ambulances
from every hospital on the West side were
kept busy A police estimate Of the re-
suit puts the number Of wounded at fifty
the number Of arrests forty The most
determined and desperate hand-to- hand
fight which occurred during the riot was
hatu TOhV
and the negro Lloyd Lee. Lee acted like
a madman when Kennedy ordered him to
move on. Refusing to do 80, he said to
Kennedy
RAZOR VS.. REVOLVER.
IT know you. You are Thorpe's part
ner, have been laying for you," and at
the same time he slashed Kennedy In the
shoulder, infiicting a deep wound. Ken.
nedy pulled his revolver and fired four
shots.
One bullot went through Lees Jaw Po-
hcemen came running from different di-
rections, and went in search of Lee In
the search another negro named David Fl.
Carr got a terrible beating, and when he
was taken to Bellevue # was found that
he had fractured skull, q fractured arm
and battered face. Kennedy was taken
to the New York hospital. Later he was
taken to Bellevue, where he identified Lee
as his assailant. When Lee saw Kenre-
dy, he hfssed forth!
II am up and about and you are down,
Damn you, I guess you're down for good
! hope so.''
Capt. Cooney and Kennedy say that
Lee threatened several days ago to do"
Kennedy, because the latter was Thorpe's
partner.
THE RESERVES CHARGED.
While Kennedy and Lee were In the
struggle, word was sent to Capt Cooney
that Kennedy had been killed. This in
tensifed the excitement among the re-
serves, who rushed from the station and
charged down the street In doing so they
encountered mobs of whites at various
points In making an indiscrtminate
charge upon the mob a negro was discoy-
cred. He started to run, and the mob
and the reserves, close behind him, gave
chase. The negro ran into the Marlbor-
ough hotel and escaped through the office
by the Broadway entrance into Broadway,
and this added to the excitement.
Groups had gathered at various points
along Broadway and were discussing the
riot. When they saw the negro come out
of the Marlborough the groups quickly
assimilated with the mob, and the chase
was continued untn 1t seemed as II the
entire disorder and riot had been trans
ferred from the place Of beginning to
Broadway.
ALL COONS LOOKED ALIKE.
Wherever a negro was seen he was on
the run, whether he had been a partici-
pant to the riot or not. This was the
case Of orie who ran out of side street
near Forty-second street, chased by
mob The negro ran into 6hanley's res
taurant, one of the fashionable uptown
cafes. The place was filed with people,
many of whom were women. The latter
jumped from their tables and attempted
to make exits wherever there was an open
door or window. Their escorts followed
endeavoring to assuage their excitement
The sight Of the fugitive negro. covered
with blood, only intensified the excited
condition of the women who escaped from
the cafe, only to find themselves In the
midst Of a mob, bowling for blood. somo
of the patrons Of the cafe, who were
dining upstairs were with difaculty re-
