DISGRACEFUL RACE RIOT
FOLLOWS THE MURDER OF
NEW YORK POLICE OFFICER
CONTINUED From First Page.)

group gathered about the policeman's
home and Captain COoney sent small
squad Of men. Trouble was not antici-
pated however and the squad was
more in the nature of a guard Of honor
for their dead comrade.
few minutes before II o'clock an
Irish woman. under the influence of
drink came out Of the place. She set
up a howl and began to recite the vir-
tues of the dead policeman She said
the negroes ought to be killed. Just
then a young negro walked up. The
white men made a rush for him and he
was quickly surrounded. He was beaten
and kicked and was rescued with
great difficulty. If there had been a
carefully arranged plot and this had
been the agreed signal the outbreak
could not have been more spontaneous.
Men and women poured by the hun
dreds from the neighboring tenements.
Negroes were set upon wherever they
could be found and brutally beaten.
The blacks at first offered resistance,
but they we're so soon outnumbered
that they fed without delay.
For the next hour the streets were
filled with a rioting, surging mob. II
was a scene on very much the same
order as took place a few days ago In
New Orleans. The policemen did
much clubbing, but the injured men
were all negroes.
John B. Mallory was going home
with Gordon Jones, when the gang
jumped on them at Thirty-seventh
street and Ninth avenue. Mallory was
knocked down. A policeman heard
him yelling and managed to get him on
an uptown car. He told him to go to
a hospital. Just then another police
man ran up, pulled Mallory from the
car and began to club him. The pas
| sengers on the car cried shame and
the policeman stopped his assault
Mallory managed to drag himself on
the car and got to Roosevelt hospital
He was a pitiful sight His condition
is serious.
Policeman Kennedy was stabbed In
the arm and breast. A negro named
Lloyd Lee was arrested for the stab
bing. Lee and another negro, DaviC
II. Tarr, were near the corner where
i Kennedy was stabbed. The crowd SCI
upon Lee, who drew revolver anC
knife in self defense. When the po
liceman saw this and somebody haC
shouted that Lee stabbed Kennedy thu
policemen themselves attacked Lee
with their clubs. Lee got out of thu
tangle somehow and was charged L
nearby roof where he was clubbeC
into submission. He was taken t
Bellevue more dead than alive.
Chief Devery was at his home righ
in the heart of the battle-ground, bu
lid not take charge of the police a
once. He finally took personal com
mand The police said the negroe
we're rapidly arming themselves will

A negro riding up Broadway on
bicycle was pulled from his wheel an
severely beaten. The mob then too

Mrs. Minute Walter Myers. In her
"Ronlance aud Realism Of the South

one Of the last challenges TO duel
wElch occurred in louisiana. The af-
fair was between NJ. Marigny. WHO be-
lOnged 10 one of the oldest families Of

ex-backsmith of Georgia, who had be-

NJ Marigny took offense AT some re-

Il know nothing about this dueling
business" he said. II will not fight

IL am not a gentleman" replied the
honest son of Georgia. Il am only a
blacksmith"
But you will be ruined If you do not
fight" urged his friends. You will
have the choice Of weapons, and you
can choose SO as 10 give yourself an
equal chance with your adversary"
The giant asked time In which to
consider the question and ended by ac-
cepting. He sent the following reply
to NJ. Marigny;
Il accept. and in the exercise OF my
privilege, ! stipulate that the duel shall
take place In Lake Pontchartrain, in
six feet of water, sledge hammers to
be used as weapons.
Nj. Marigny was about five feet eight
inches in height, and his adversary
was seven feet. The conceit OF the
Georgian SO pleased NJ. Marigny. who
could appreciate a joke as well as per-
petrate one, that he declared himself
satisfied. and the duel did not take

Europe,r CRY of Crime.

The Italian city of Artena. situated
about 40 miles from Rome. is known ms
the City OF Crime. Ever since the six
teenth century every criminal who has
escaped from prison or done his time
has emigrated TO Artena. and today
practically every inhabitant is crimi-
nal or the child of criminals. Every
family takes the law into it's own
hands. and il Is reported not a day
passes without many murders being
committed in the streets. The Italian
authorities have now come TO look up
on Artena as hopeless and remark that
IL is far better that criminals should
kill criminals than that innocent per-
sons should be- their victims. 1t is said
that on one occasion when % murders
had been committed i'm that city in one
day the fact was reported i'm one of the
Italian papers in the following terms:
"Since our last issue GA hours before
there have been % sudden deaths in
Artena." and no further notice of the
murders was taken or expected.

Did you ever read "rhe Hunchback

than any other French writing with
which am acquainted. Balzac is sen.

useless, but interesting; Beranger bias

why l,,aniIin pld Not write H.

1T has always been curious puzzle
why Franklin, the man of ripe age of
commanding distinction and of approx
ed literary skill. was not selected to
write the Declaration instead of Thorn
as jefferson, then only 80 years old and
comparatively unknown" says John
Gllmer Speed in The Saturday Even

everything in his power to avert the
war and reconcile the differences be-
tween the colonies and the mother
country, for all wise men I'm the colo
MES did all that honor permitted in
that direction until the die was cast.
No; it was not Il fear of Franklin's ear
nestness I'm the cause of the colonies.
1t was probably the fear of Franklin's
humor.
"He was not only the greatest man
OF his time. but he was one of the
greatest humorists of any time. And
so his associates We're possibly afraid
that he would put joke In the Decla-
ration and passed him by and selected
the lank young Virginian with the free

"As il was. Franklin did have his
joke, for when the members of con
gress were about to sign the Declara-

pressed In the bold signature which

way: We must be unanimous There
must be no pulling different ways. We

The Blouse In Autumn.

When the autumn begins to create n
change in the momentous affairs OF
dress, the blouse waists will appear
under the gulse OF black and white
silk muslin or chiffon webs. richly en-
broidered and laid over tinted silk lin
ings. They can be worn with any sort
OF silk, satin or fine cloth skirt. and
those women who invariably force ev-
cry season have been appearing In
beautiful hand worked bodices at
smart country house morning enter
tainments.
In heavier and more durable goods
the novelty blouses are already max
ing a show, and new silk. called peau
de suede, Is what they are built of. A
peau de suede surface, tinted in pale
tan, displays interviewer spots OF
brown velvet OF graduated sizes, tech
nically termed the mushroom pattern,
and to find blouse of more interest
ing and modish goods than this a wo-
man will be obliged TO search far and
wide.
1t seems almost essential to mention
here I'm connection with blouses thai
any maid or matron who is obliged to
conduct ut once with skill and economy
the destinies Of her wardrobe for the
approaching fall will do herself a good
turn by investing in white satin skirt.
1t Is to be the basis-in fact. 1t has
been the basis all summer-of every
variety of blouse. No woman who
knows the laws of clothesland mounts
her blouses. he they grave or gay of
aspect. on a black satin skirt She
buys instead the richest ivory white
satin she can find. gives ii TO a good
dresSmaker who will cut ii on hand
some lines but decoratcs il with moth
ing more than Il narrow. thick fold OF
satin at the foot or with three inch
wide tucks
1t is amazing what rough, steady
usage such Il skirt can endure and how
with few hlouscs il will answer as
the very backbone and corner stone Of
thcater toilets dinpcr dresses, at home
costumes and IL pinch for a ball
gown. Now, important as it is to dwell
OH the merits Of the white satin skirt,
just so important is II to caution every
woman against its black satin fellow.
