BLACK bR|TlSHERS
HAVE A GRIEVANCE
Hundreds of Negroes Destitute
at Cardiff, Wales, and
Threaten Trouble.
Bv Leased Wire TO The Tribune.

by Leased Wire 10 The tribune.
LONDON, Sept. 2.-It Is feared that
more trouble Will be had with the hun
dreds OF unemployed negro sailors at Car
d!ff. who gave England her first taste
OF race riots between black and white.
There are between 500 and 500 negro
seamen IN CardtT and since the COM
parativcIy high wages of e5 per month
was agreed upon ships officers have
preferred To Sign only Europeans. AS a
consequence the negroes. who have been
Idle for seven or eight weeks, are In
serious financial straits and hundreds Of
them ara actually starving Owing TO
their desperate plight they developed an
angry mood and after several vicious dis
pleys Of temper matters came TO ell
max this week, when about 100 of the
negroes attacked a ships officer who Is
alleged to have exclaimed no nisgors
for me-
Difficulty was experienced in rescuing
the officer and the superintendent In
command OF the police ordered baton
charge, There were about thirty con
stables. who used their batons with. tell
ing effect. scattering almost instantly
the negroes in ali directions
Several blacks were carried to hOsp' !.
tnl IN an Unconscious condition and some
thirty or forty others received blows
which drew streams OF blood.
The negroes subsequently threatened
create serious trouble and the presence
of so many hundreds OF destitute colored
men Is regarded as a grave menace 10
the peace of the city of Cardiff. The
blacks assert that as British subjects
they have a genuine claim to preference
oy ships officers over Creeks. Spaniards,
Italians and seamen. OF other European
countries.

or after its close when rabbits were
plentiful in The surrounding woods.
Interesting testimony was presented
by William II. Sampson, a chum Of the
accused, and his companion on many
pre.nuptial hours of dissipation. He
declared Henry Beattie never really
loved the Binford girl, but when their
relations accidentally renewed,
shortly before the murder, it was mere
ly passing escapade.
Meat Dealers Escapade.
Charles H. Kestleberg, a wholesale
meat merchant Of Richmond, gave an
account OF motor ride he had taken
on the Midlothian turnpike the night
OF the murder and presented informa
tion contradicting theory of the
prosecution that Mrs. Beattie was
standing either on the running board OF
the machine or in the road when she
was killed. He testified that the woman
with him occupied such r position on
the running board when he stopped his
machine to fix it and when passed by
motor car filled with boys who al
ready have testified for the common
wealth.

Monday Mr. Smith said it would be
more convenient for him to talk with
Beattie at the city Jail there than II
Chesterfield Jail.
Judge Watson regretted he could not
oblige Mr.. Smith because people in
Richmond had complained to him OF
the spectacle which had been made by
the prisoner taking an automobile
through the streets where crowds in,
variably gathered. Mr.. Smith did not
press the point.
Witness Is Worried.
One of the strange episodes Of the
trial is the predicameut Of Charles II
Kestelberg. who testified today. To
night he asked Attorney Smith Of the
defense to smooth over his difficulties
by talking with his wife as to the he
cessity for giving the testimony he
did.
"My wife weighs nearly 3OC
pounds said Kcstelberg. "and
don't know what effect the expose will
have on her I simply had to tel
what 1 knew, however, after those
boys had testified, and / did so with
out regard of the consequences for ME.

During the autumn session of parlIa-
