VOTERS
CAUSE A RIOT
Democrats in a Small Town
of Virginia FOrcibly Oppose
Registration by COlOred Men

NORFOLK, Va, Dec. S.-DemOcrats
in the town of Berkeley to-day drove
County Treasurer Lyons from his Of
fee. where. it is charged, he was regis
tering negro voters, and the mob then
herded the negroes in one section Of
the town. The streets soon filed with
men armed with shOtguns and a re-
quest was made for company OF mill
tia from Norfolk, but the riot was sup
pressed without the use OF force. COun-
ty Clerk Martin was assaulted
while sitting at table with
negro Councilman. He was
roughly handled. and County Treasurer
Lyons was knocked down the stairs OF
the Martin building. in which the al
legged registering Of negroes was taking
place.
The mob was composed Of about goo
men, all white and nearly all armed.
shotguns and repeating rifles being
plentiful, while revOlvers and clubs
were also in evidence. Several shots
were fired in the street, but no one was
hurt.
The riot was caused by bitter politi-
cal feeling. which has existed between
the straight Democratic element in
Norfolk County and the fusion element
controlled by Martin. 1t is charged by
the Democrats that the county officials
represented in the office of the I'm
prOvement Board had assembled there
to collect the poll tax from negroes
3ptitiOusly and that on the other
hand obstacles are placed in the way OF
white Democrats qualifying to vote.
In the crowd was c. W. Rockefeller.
a cousin Of the Standard Oil magnate.
and Rev. Herbert SchoIgoz, a Christian
minister.

PROPRIETORS
TO EMULATE BOOKMAKERS
They Have Formed a Club in New

Purposes.

NEW YORK, Dec. S.-Regarding
their business to be quite as legitimate
as that of the bookmakers, the pool
room proprietors of this city have
formed a club to emulate the Metro
politan Turf Association, popularity
known as the "Bookmakers' Club.
No attention will be given the social
side of clubdom, however, as the or
ganization's purpose will be strictly
business. The number of rooms in
the city and their location are to be.
regulated. A fund wilk be created for
protection against raids and wire tap
ping. Arrangements will be made, if
possible, whereby the club will take
charge of the telegraphic service of
it's members and handle the money
paid out for it. An attempt will be
made to persuade the telegraph COM
pany against furnishing race returns
to rooms not vouched for by the club
One matter the new organization
has already settled. None of the men,
bers will post San Francisco races,
because they claim to have been bad
ly beaten many times on them by
players who succeeded in getting re-
suits first.

FOOTBALL MANAGERS FAIL
TO AGREE ON FINANCES
Minnesota California Game on New
Years Day Hinges on Settlement
of This Question

MINNEAPOLIS. Dec. S.-The Mime
sofa Athletic Board of Control at its
meeting to-day passed a resolution
granting the football team permission
to take the proposed trip to California
provided the approval of President
Northrop and Dr. Williams was gained.
This makes it practically certain that
the team will go to the coast for
game with the University of California
in San Francisco on New Years day.
President Northrop has already given
his consent to the trip provided Coach
Williams or Professor Jones accompa-
nies the team. Manager Barnard and
eighteen players will be in the party.
The final arrangements have not been
made, as California still insists that
she will pay only the expenses of
twenty men, allowing them ten days
stop il San Francisco.
The Minnesota management desires A
guarantee of expenses and also an op
tion on percentage Of the gate receipts.

Important Decision for BowIers.

DAYTON, Ohio. Dec. S.-A decision
of importance to bowlers and bowling
clubs intending to participate in the
national championship contest of the
American Bowling Congress at Cleve-
land February to 13, has been rem
dered by the executive committee. IN
der the Indianapolis plan of organiza-
ton it was supposed that all entries
would have to be affiliated with one of
the local city associations. This, how
ever. is not the case. Any club or
bowler is eligible upon compliance
with the rules of the congress, but no
club is entitled to any voice in the
proceedings of the congress unless af-
fliated with one of the city associa-
lions.
