The mayor had no comment
to make this morning on last
nights riots.
| After he had been rescued
by police, the enraged mob
burned the mayors automo-

Mayor Smith is extremely
unpopular with certain ele-
ments in the city. His stand
in labor troubles has been char
acterized by union men as de-
cidedly unfair to union labor.
Petitions recently were circu-
lated for his recall. They were
thrown out on grounds Of ir-
regularity and duplication.
Smith is a former law part
ner of Constantine j. Smythe,
now chief justice for the Dis
trict of Columbia.
When the mob closed in on
him last night, they shouted:
"Shoot him! Hang him! He's
no better than a niger. The
niggers elected him. Let's get
him and then some of the rest /

1t was denied that Smith s /
