escaped, but not until after he had re-
ceived a severe drubbing.
Acting Capt. Burns of the West Thir-
tieth street station arrived with a
squad and arrested four white men, the
first whites of the riot to be arrested.
This was after l o'clock this morn
ing.
Fortunately about O'clock there was
a heavy downpour of rain, and it is the
opinion of the police that this did more
to dissipate the mob and quiet the riot
than a thousand men would have been
able to do.
The reserves of the station which had
been on duty nearly all night were
called in during thu morning, and after
all was comparatively quiet The last
arrests made as reported by the police
this morning were those of James L.
and Ethel Harris. 1t was said that
the man is the Harris who killed
Thorpe. At the station he denied know
ing anything about Thorpe, and said
that neither he nor his wife had any
part in the disturbance.

Nina.

New York, Aug. 16..-Such a furious
ebulition of race hatred as found vent
in the rioting that occurred here last
night, the outgrowth of a murder a
few days ago of Policeman Thorpe by
a negro named Arthur Harris, has not
been equaled in New York in many
years.
AS a result of the disturbance, which
ragged from midnight until o'clock
and burst out in 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 injured. Lee is al
legged TO have made threats against the
life of Kennedy because he was a close
friend and associate of Thorpe, the
murdered officer. Thorpe was the third
white man murderously assaulted in
the vicinity by negroes, a race prejudice
having 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 avenues, was in an uproar
Forty or more arrests were made.
Negro Hunt Is Begun.
While Kennedy and Lee were in the
street struggling, word was sent to
Capt. Cooley that Kennedy had been
killed. This intensified the excitement
among the reserves, who rushed from
the station and charged down the
street. In doing so they encountered
mObS of whites at various points. In
making an indiscriminate charge upon
the mob, a negro was discovered He
started to run and the mob and re-
serves, close behind, gave chase. The
negro ran into the Marlborough hotel
and escaped through the office into
Broadway, and this added to the ex-
element.
Groups had gathered at various
points along Broadway and were dis
cussing the riot. When they saw the
negro come out of the hotel the groups
