Threatened RACE RIOT
AT D. c. JAIL QUELLED
Four Colored Prisoners Who
Stripped for Action, Made to
Replace Clothing.

A threatened race clash at the jail
yesterday as an aftermath Of the re-
cent rioting in Washington led to
reports that there had been a "whis-
pered" plan for wholesale delivery
of the prisoners. Officials of the jail
today denied that the trouble had
reached any such proportions.
The incident grew out of the ap-
pearance at dinner of four colored
prisoners convicted in connection with
the rioting, who were stripped to the
waist and muttered that they were
going to start something against
the white prisoners. They appeared
ready for action.
Supt. Charles c. Foster sent the men
back to their cells on the top tier OF
the north wing, where they were re-
CURED to complete their prison dress
They were then permitted to return to
dinner.
Mr.. Foster today said he regarded
the incident as trivial and no special
punishment has been melted to the
offenders. In fact, no official report
i Of the matter has been made to the
Commissioners.
