Henry Harris, colored, Of No. 522
Lafayette street. was badly cut in
small sized riot IN dance hall at
Ninth aud Walnut streets, early this
morning Residents of the neighbor-
hood we're startled by several rcvol-
yer shots Who fred the guns is uiI-
known. but as the police who re-
spondcd to a call for help sent In by
citizen in that vicinity, had their
revolvers in their hands while trying
to ascertain who had assaulted Hsr-
ris, It may have been the officers rho
fired at his assailants
Residents of Walnut street between
Eighth and Taylor streets, are indignant
because fights occur there nightly and
last night when one resident called the
police requesting help. it was necessary
Tor him to call the police station a sccond
time for officers. In speaking of this
todny, the citizen said il was twenty
minutes before an officer arrived on the
scene Of the fight. despite the fact that
he had informed the police station TINT
That such was the case was apparent
when Harris was treated at the Della
ware Hospital early this morning for nu
merous stab wounds in his chin, legs and
head During the fight, in which several
hundred men participated. Harris lay on
the ground and several men in the crowd
asked for revolver with which TO shoot
him.
When Chief OF Police Black WAS
asked today about the matter, he said
ne had not heard of the trouble 20
lice Captain Kane. who was on duty NJ
the time, said no such trouble hpd
been reported to him.
From what could be learned Of tho
fight Il appears that Harris and a
woman got into wrangle in National
Hall during a dance. AS they came
out Of the building, scores Of men
: surged out aud all began striking no
Harris. Finally he was felled ando Il
, was while he was IN the street that a
: call by telephone was sent to the po-
lice station. This was at 1905
