aroused and attacked soldiers and
whites.
A large number Of negroes were
killed and wounded By machine-gun
and rife fire. Most Of the dead and
wounded were carried away, so that
accurate count Of the casualties Is
impossible. The police believe the
list Of dead viii run into scores, with
four or five times as many wounded.
Early this morning mobs Of white
and colored men swept through the
streets outside Of the business sec

secondhand scores looting the shops
Of Wespons and ammunition.
Several severe clashes took place

of casualtie from these can be
gained, but from the number Of
wounded taken to hospitals, it is
estimated that a large number Of
whites and blacks were killed in

This fact developed when Frof. JEFF

tronomers. reported TO the observa-
tory at Berkeley that computations
indicated that the hrst comet discoV-
cred by the Rev. Joel II. Metcalf. OF
Harvard, is Identical with Brorsen's
comet, discovered in 1s47.
II this assertion proves correct.
Prof. S. I. Bailey. OF Harvard ObseFV-
atory, says that it VIII make Bror-
sens and Halley's comets the only
ones 20 have made a return visit
According to all computations,
Brorsen's comet was to have returned
in 1922, and II this luminary - the
same one Il Is three years ahead Of
schedule. Scientists explain, however,
that its orbit may have been miscal-
culated, or Il may have been defect
ed by uneven attractions Of the sun.
