RACE RIOT CAN'T
OCCUR AGAIN In
CHICAGO, SAYS Chief
(By Associated Negro Press.)

Chicago, Oct 1.-"This was not
riot but street fight There can
never be another riot in Chicago as
long as l am chief of police" With
these mighty words, Chief of Police
Garrity set at rest the widespread
report that another riot was on in
Chicago recently.
A white man, Thomas E. Barrett,
conductor on the street car lines, was
killed, and a great gang of Halsted
street hoodlums pursued three men
who were accused, but there was no
riot
The men are Samuel Hayes, Harry
Snow and Frank Gatewood 1t is
stated on the best of authority that
Barret had been arrested several
times for assaulting Colored people.
Policeman Michael Hurley, white, tes-
titled that Barrett abused the men,
and one of them drew a wnife and
almost severed his head, in self
defense
The priest of st. Gabriers Catholic
church outwitted the throng who
sought the men, by hiding them in
his church, and then appearing on
the steps of the church and smiling
them into quietness, saying: "The
men are safe, let the law take its
course"
The police officers got the leaders
Of the mob, and arrested every per-
son who sought to make trouble. The
daily newspapers were particularly
fair in giving accounts of the trouble
Not the least of these was the Chi
cago Tribune, which the Colored peo-
pie frequently accused of being biased.
The Chicago American, in its ac-
count, did not refer at any time to
the race of any of the persons in
volved. This advance in the treat
ment of crime in the dailies is at
tributed to the activity of various
Chicago organizations of our group in
impressing the editors and publishers
that racial designation of criminals
is harmful to all, that a criminal is a
criminal, no more no less, regardless
of race nationality.

consideration by everyone and I am
deeply appreciative. I only did my
duty as any real American citizen
would do. When l was takon to the
hospital everyone thought would die.
having three bullets IN me Two Of
the bullets have been removed, one
still remains.

life to the fact that never drank a
