RACE ROW IN NEW YORK.
goo Police Beat Mob of Rioters.
Score injured

NEW YORK, July ga race riot, in
which some 5000 whites and black en-
gagged, waged for two hours last night on
San Juan Hill, which is bounded by 61st
and cd streets and 10th and West End
avenues. 1t is thought one man was
killed; score of persons were injured
eight being taken to Roosevelt Hospital
The riot was started in West 61st street
by two boys, one black, the other white
who quarreled over craps. The mother
| of the negro lad saw the fight and spilled
paflful of dirty water on the head of the
white boy from her window. The white
boy fed, yelling that he had been attacked
by negroes. There is bad blood between
the whites and blacks of San Juan Hill,
and this was the signal for battle. s-.
Women and boys assisted the men in
the fight that followed. While the mob
fought In the street, dozen negroes took
positions on fire-escapes and poured a fusil-
lade of shots into the crowd recklessly.
Policeman Burns of the West 6Sth street
station, tried to check the riot SINGLE
handed. He was badly beaten. Some one
dropped brick from the roof of a tene-
ment house which crushed his helmet and
cut his head. Burns sent can for the
reserves.
Capt. John F. Stevenson and ninety men
hurried to San Juan Hill The rioters
stopped their fight long enough to beat off
the police. The streets were crowded. The
policemen used clubs and gun-butts In an
endeavor to break through the mob, but
could not.
A call was then sent for the reserves of
three other precincts, and two hundred po-
licement came from the West Tooth, West
47th and West 37th street stations. Inspec-
tor Dillon was in charge.
Bricks, flower pots and bottles were hurled
at the police from roof tops. Hand-to- hand
conflicts took place between them and the
rioters on fire escapes. The whites soon re-
turned to their homes, but the negroes at
tackled the police time and again.
The police fought their way through the
mobs with their prisoners.
A negro in the uniform of United States
marine dashed from one of the tenement
houses, revolver in each hand firing right
and left. A colored man was seen to fall
Friends dragged him away. The police
think the man was killed, and are hunting
for the body.
Capt. McCafferty of the detective bureau
sent ten of his best men to aid Inspector
Dillon. The police were finally divided up
into squads, attacked the rioters from all
sides and drove them into their homes.
On the roof of No. 235 West 61st street
James Adams, negro, was captured in the
act of tearing a chimney to pieces to pro-
vide himself with missiles The chimneys
on all the roofs were wrecked.
The riot broke up a gospel meeting in the
African Methodist Church The Rev. Charles
Simms, pastor, hurried to the riot zone and
aided the police in restoring order

RULE TO SHOW CAUSE.
snowden Ashford, Building Inspector
Defendant in Garage Case.

Justice Wright of the District Supreme
Court today cited Snowden Ashford, in
spector of buildings, to show cause next
Friday why mandamus should not issue
against him requiring him to grant a per-
nit to Leroy Mark for the erection of an
automobile garage in Mount Pleasant.
1t is stated in the petition that the plain
tiff filed his application for permit before
any regulation governing the erection Of q
garage had been made by the Commission
ers. and that after several days of waiting
for approval he was finally told that 1t
would be necessary for him to have the
consent Of at least two-t thirds of the prop
erty owners within ninety feet of the pro-
posed building. This the petitioner failed
to secure. The lot, ii is stated is absolute
ly worthless for any kind of structure other
than stable or garage.

declares he even attempted to sell the lot
at price below cost. but was unsuccessful

Reported Theft of Crown Jewels.

LONDON, July S.--The Dublin> corre-
spondent of the Daily Mail hears. from
what he believes to be reliable source
that the crown jewels have been stolen
from Dublin castle. The missing jewels
are said to include a large diamond star
and other rich gems which figure in the
regalia usually employed in comforting the
Order of st. Patrick. The correspondent
is informed that the safe in which the
jewels were kept was opened with a du-
plicate key. The announcement was pub
lished in Saturdays Dublin papers that
the investiture of Lord Castletown with
the Order of st. Patrick, which was to take
place next Wednesday, had been postponed
The Daily Mails correspondent thinks the
postponement was due to the theft of the
jewels.

 "This assertion has come to be pretty generally believed. It is not a true assertion, though. Listen.
 My cousin and his wife were going to the theater the other evening" My cousin, aftr dinner, sat down and smoked cigar. Mary, his wife, hur- ried upstairs to curl her hair.
 About fifteen minutes before thea ter time, just as Mary was nearing the end of her toilet, my cousin rushed in upon her wildly, flinging off his coat as he came.
 :" lingo! must hurry he said. Lay my things out on the bed for me, Mary? Where is that new shirt of mine? In the closet? We'll, while I am washing would you mind getting it and putting the buttons in for me? '? And don't forget the pearls for the front and the cuff links-they're in the shirt just took off, How about my shoes? Oh, all right. Is my hat in the hat box? Well, get it out and rub it up with that velvet brush, will you? Oh, here's a button off my waistcoat. Would you mind putting it on now?

Mary, just take the brush and bring this lock around so that it hides my bald spot, will you, please? Thanks, dear. Now I'm ready. How about you? By jim go! you're not dressed yet.
