CREW
Fight POLICE

The desire of fifteen Chinese sail
ors part of the crew of the Clan Nc
Ivor, a British freight steamship
bound from Singapore and Manila
and lying off Tompkinsville, Staten
Island, N. Y.-to see the sights OF
Broadway, led to all sorts of trouble
and finally to a battle between the
Chinese, officers of the vessel and
agency detectives. One of the Chi
nese is now seeing New York from
a cot in st. Vincent's Hospital and
others are getting glimpse from
their police cells on Staten Island.
1t appears that the fact that half
of the crew, not Orientals, were able
to leave the ship without any attempt
at prevention, irritated the Chinese,
who attempted to get ashore. Expect
ing trouble, the steamship officers
posted half a dozen private detectives
at the foot of the gangplank. The
Chinese attempted to descend the
gangplank and engaged in wrest-
ling match with the detectives. One
of their tactics being to upset the
gangplank and throw the detectives
into the water. The latter were bad
ly mauled and driven to the pier,
where customs officer joined in the
fight and came in for punishment
also
With the aid of other men the
Chinese were driven back to the yes
sci where they attacked the officers.
They were about to spring upon Sec
ond Mate Simkins when he drew a re-
volver and shot two of them in the
legs. Just at this moment two squads
of police arrived and quelled the
fight.
