RIOT OCCURS
At DANCE IN
(. HARRISON HALL
Bruised Heads and Blackened
Eyes After Affair Is
Over.

One of the most d~isgraceful scenes
that mas ever taken place in Harrison
was that which occurred early today i'll
R~entschler's Auditorium, Harrison and
Worthington avenues. Harrison. when
a free-for-all fight ensued. Several peo-
PIE We're injured as a result of the
melee.
George McNlchols and Thomas He'd
ing. both residents of Harrison. who
have been companions for years, got
into an argument, it is said, because OF
a remark McNichols made regarding a
friend whom Heding had taken to the
dance at tie auditorium. 1t was under
the auspices of the West Hudson Labor
Lyceum, of Harrison.
McNichols and Heding began to fight.
and the former, who is the lightest of
the two. was bested. The girl, it is
said. who was the cause of the fight, be-
came hysterical When she saw the
friends beating each other, n it was
over an hour before she regained con-
troll of herself.
While she was in this condition
Heding went downstairs from the bal
cony 10 procure a glass OF water for
her. Heding's appearance on the foo,
was the signal for another fight.
Friends of McNichols charged upoG
Heding. and in a moment he was be-
ing showered with blows from all
sides.
Constable John f. Callaghan, who
ras on duty at the hall, rushed into
the midst of the crowd and used his
club with effect, after he had failed by
making verbal requests to quell the
disturbance. Girls who were present
fed from the hall when they realized
what was going on.
Callaghan, after ten minutes hard
work. managed to restore order. When
the smoke of the battle had cleared
away there We're plenty of black eyes
and bruised faces. There were a few
other fights after the main bout, but
they did not amount to anything.
1t is not unlikely that the police com-
mittee of the Harrison Common Coun-
ell, will make a thorough Investigation
OF today's affair and take steps to pre-
vent a similar occurrence.
The dance at which the onslaught oc-
Cured was the second annual ball OF

account. This is what caused things to
begin to happen today.
All of the seventeen inspectors of
the health department turned out in
plain clothes, under orders from Health
officer David D.. Chandler. to
enforce the anticipating ordinance,
with the result that eight prisoners APP
peared before Judge Hahn, in the First
Precinct Police Court, charged with
violating the law. That was simply
the mornings haul of offenders. The
work will go IN for the RESI- of the day
and many days to come.
Mr.. Chandler himself went over the
ground with the inspectors, who COW
cred the entire centre of the city, from
the Court House to the Pennsylvania
station and from the Lackawanna
depot to the City Hall. Wherever they
saw a man expectorating on the side
walk he was forthwith haled to court.
The authority under which this step
was taken is an amendment to the
anticipating ordinance of 'ebruary I,
1899, passed last october.
The health authorities. among them
Eugene w. Bellar. of the sanitary de-
partment of the board, who had charge
of today's crusade, intend to keep up
the war on spitters. They believe that
the example made of those arrested to-
day will be a great help in stopping
further violations. From time to time,
however, the move of making arrests
will be repeated.

caught in the drag-net spread by the
