BLACKS BEATEN
BY RATE MOBS
IN NIGHT RIOTS
Outbreaks Occur Stimuli
taneously All Over
Capital.

Washington, July 21-POlice
and hospital records today
showed scores of negroes were
injured in the widespread
clashes between whites ana
negroes here last night. More
than a dozen negroes, some of
them suffering from severe
beatingS at the hands of mObs,
were treated at hospitals ana
scores were cared for at their
homes.
The rioting, which began shortly
after 10 o'clock, lasted until early
this morning and although many
arrests were made so widely scat
tered were the outbreaks that the
police and detail of provost
guards were unable to cope with the
situation.
Outbreaks Simultaneous.
Riot calls came in from several
sections in rapid succession and the
entire police reserve was Kept on
the jump practically all night.
Most of the injured negroes were
set upon singly or in pairs, but the
more serious of the clashes were
between mobs and negroes who as
sembled in crowds at severaI
points Clubs and stones were used
freely but no firearms.
Negroes Beaten Unconscious.
At times the mobs reached the
proportion of a thousand or more
persons and in a number of cases
policemen who sought to aid negro
victims of the attacks were over
whelmed. In several instances
negroes were pulled from street
cars along Pennsylvania avenue
and beaten into unconsciousness.
Soldiers, sailors and marines were
said by the police to have been
leaders in the disorders.

Washington, July 21.-An effort TO
have a provision in the bill making

members who announced they

clared the measure as framed per-

that the "drys" had gone about as
