Procession Of Injured.

A number Of wounded negroes crept
into alleys and other darfi places
When they were found they were hur-
ried to negro hospital, which for
several hours received a virtual pro-
cession of injured.
The more seriously wounded ne
groes received at the hospital had
participated in battle with whites
on Thirty-fifth and State streets. Sev
cral thousand of the blacks crowded
at this point. 1t was an orderly gath
ering for time, but suddenly four
negroes raced up the street and
stopped suddenly in the home of a
white man. In twiniling shots be-
gan to fly in all direction. Perhaps
more than a score of negroes fell.
Some were carried off by companions.
For more than two blocks along
the street negro snipers fired from
house tops and windows.

QUO regular troops brought here to
preserve order when last weeks race
rloting and street disorders got be-

been abolished several weeks ago, and

on their sleeves, armed with riot
sticks and six shooters in opened
holsters were patrolling the principal
parts of the Capital in pairs.
Although the race rioting and the
attacks by negroes on white women
have subsided, street hold up have
continued.
The Maryland State authorities have
demanded the extradition of one negro
whom they charge with an assault on
white woman. The Washington
police, who say they believe the mans
allbl, however, refused to give up the
prisoner for fear he would be lvnched
"hen taken over the Maryland line
The local Maryland authorities dis
satisfied With the conclusion of the
Washington police called in detcc-
tlves who declare they have disproved
the mans alibi entirely. Governor
harrington, Of Maryland has issued a
formal request for the negro's ex-
tradition.
While action has been deferred in
Congress on various resolutions de-
manding an investigation of the police
and fixing Of responsibility for the
crime wave, the local authorities have
been preparing legislation to increase
the personnel of the forces.
