Cobs Saue Negro
From Gangsters
Interfere When Eight
"Wheyos'' Beat Victim,
With Base ball Bat

Eight members Of "the Washington
Street Wheyos," so described by their
leader, chased an unidentified negro
six blocks last night, knocked him
down and robbed him in front of the
Customs House, and then beat four
white men who attempted to interfere.
They were finally routed by several
sailors, who wrested from the chief of
the gang the baseball bat that he was
welding as a mace of office and used
it on his followers.
The Negroes offense was not taking
to the middle of the street when he
saw the "Wehyos" coming. He in
sisted that he had a right to walk
on the sidewalk of Washington Street,
despite the assertions of the gangsters
that he hadn't. After a brief argu-
nent the gang leader hit him a
mighty blow on the head with the
baseball bat and the smitten one ran
south with the eight in pursuit.
Several women and children were
knocked down and trampled during the
chase Someone blew police whistle
but the gang leader shouted, Were
the Washington Street Wheyos and the
cops dassent bother u.s." And the COPS
didn't.
In front of the Customs House the
fugitive was oyertaken and was hit on
