RACE RIOTS IN
MANY PARTMENTS
White Clerk and Negro Fight in
Office Of Architect Of the
Treasury.
--
TROUBLE. IN AUDITORS OFFICE
White Chief Reprinlanded Negro
and Friend Threw Elcc-
trio Bulb.
ny WAITER EDWARD HARRIS.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 2.-The
race feeling which recently eliminated
in the fight between q white and coll
ored draughtsinan OF the Office OF the
Supervising Architect of the Treas
ury. is also manifested In a,recent
difficulty between a white clerk and
several negroes employed in the office
of the Sixth Auditor of the Treasury.
I Is difficult to obtain details of
the trouble, but 1t Is alleged that re-
Gently Mr.. Atkinson, in charge OF a
room in which there were six colored
men and two white men employed.
was reprmanding one of the colored
clerks for some lapse, and while doing
SO ono Of the colored friends OF the
recalcitrant clerk threw an electric
light bulb at the white chief of the
room. The bulb exploded at the feet
of Mr.. Atkinson, without doing any
body any harm. The explanation Of
this occurrence, which resulted In an
other white employe having to be
brought In to assist in restoring order,
Is that the negroes were only sky
larking among themselves, teasing one
OF their own number.
A few weeks ago a white clerk
started to raise window of the room,
and was ordered by one of the negroes
to let 1t stay closed. Heated argument
and many words. including dire
threats. followed, and the head Of the
room had to command silence The
white man was SO angry he had to be
allowed at his request To go out into
the hall and stay until he could gain
control Of his emotions.
The white clerk went out to the
sidewalk in front of the Post-Ofice
Department. In which the sixth auditor
has his office. and was walking up
and down, when he saw the negro
clerk coming out. Thinking he wanted
to renew the quarrel, the white clerk
proceeded to prepare for fisticuff.
his surprise was very great when
the negro made a gentlemanly apology
which was accepted.
NO report has been made as the
result OF the official investigation OF
the fghtEbetween the white and the
cclored draughtsman OF the Office OF
the Supervising Architect.
