CHINESE SAILORS BATTLE
TO OBTAIN THEIR LIBERTY
Rumors at Baltimore That War
With Japan Had
Begun.

BALTIMORE, July 5.-In a fruitless
dash for liberty yesterday afternoon
eighteen Chinese sailors aboard the Brit
ish steamship Monadnock lying at the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad pier. at Cur
tbs bay pounced on Lieut. c. s. Steiner
of the Baltimore and Ohio police force.
In the mix-up that followed two celestial
sailors were shot Rumors that a war
had broken out between this country and
japan circulated through Curtis bay a
short time after the trouble and several
hundred residents armed with shotguns.
revolvers and various other implements
of war journeyed to the scene to defend
the honor Of their native land
Shortly after 1 o'clock yesterday after
noon eighteen of the thirty three Chi
nese sailors aboard the Monadnock at
tempted to leave the ship by clambering
owe rthe side of the vessel. John E. Ba-
con, who is employed by local Ship
ping concern to watch out for just such
things, when he saw the sailors COM
ing toward him motioned them to go
back The sailors. while not understand
ing what Bacon was saying, did get the
import OF his gesticulations, and with
srrIy looks retreated slowly to the ship
They were not satisfied to be driven
back when 50 near liberty, however and
they decided that they would not be
baked. They determined that they would
land If they had to fight their way ashore
and massing themselves into a group
they clambered over the side opposite to
which they had made their first attempt
and landed on the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad pier.
When about half way to the shore end
of the pier the Chinese sailors were met
bv Lieut.. Steiner and he, like Bacon
motioned to the sailors to return to the
boats.
Without moments hesitation the
Chinese struck Steiner a singing blow in
the face and when the latter struck back
the whole crowd jumped him, drawing
weapons from their clothing. These con-
s.sted of hammers. bars of iron and
Jumps of coal
In the meantime Bacon heard the angry
ajacnlotions of Steiner in his attempt to
drive the sailors back on the boat, and
went IN his rescue. When Bacon reached
the scene of the fight he blaZed away
Steiner had drawn his revolver at almost
The same moment. and he, too. fired. One
bullet struck a sailor In the leIt leg and
another scared the leg or a tall China
man Shooting had the desired effect, for
TIC man ceased fighting. and with looks
of terror they made a break for the ship

trate on the pier
IN. nfficials of the ship summoned a

Auto Polo viii be Introduced
at Hubinger Park Next " eek

Auto polo has reached Keokuk. It
will be played at Hubinger park
every afternoon for four dayG next
week.
1t is new game, and Is replete
with thrills, and causes nervous shiv-
ers to go up the spine Of the spec-
tators. This game Is said by those
who have sean It In the east to be so
exciting that there are but few Of the
spectators who know the score at the
end Of the game.
In almost every period OF the game
the machines are overturned or crash
head-on, splitting the occupants, and
themselves turning turtle, which Is
not the best thing In the world for
the drivers.
Five specially built automobiles and
ten men are required to play this
game, which would test the skill and
daring Of the drivers and tho mallei
wieIders. These drivers come from
all walks of life, some having been
ayiators.
To each OF the four machines there
The daily Gate City. [volume] (Keokuk, Iowa) 1855-1916, 1913-08-22

is driver and maIlet wielder,
while in the fifth there Is the umpire
and the driver. Two cars are station
ed at each end of the field, while the
ball Is placed in the center. At the
signal of the umpire, who Is on the
side, the cars dash toward the ball
at terrific speed that is seldom seen
In such small machines. From then
On the game depends almost entirely
upon the skill and daring OF the driy-
ers and mallet wielders.
This umpire has real lob also.
He Ia compelled to see the ball at all
times, and this. OF course, necessitates
his being In almost every mix-up and
there are several OF these in each
contest.
Five 10-minute periods constitute a
game, and each goal means a point.
The game is practically In its In
fancy, but even as 1t is now played
there are enough thrills to last one
for many days. 1t has come here
from the east, where It originated
come eight or ten months ago.
