SPRINGFIELD
 AFRAID OF NEW RIOTS
(By Associated Press.)

Springfield, Ohio-Springfield was quiet this morning following a night of disorder in which Patrolman Joseph Ryan and a negro were wounded in interchanges of shots between police and negroes.
 Although the situation was quiet, military and civil authorities said they would not felax their vigilance and are taking all precautions to avoid a recurrence of the racial trou- ble.
 Machine guns are mounted at the county jail and although the militia are not patrolling the streets they are under arms and ready to answer riot calls. A truck with a machine gun mounted on it is available.
 The trouble, which started with the shooting of Patrolman Ryan, after he had ordered a group of negroes to disperse, was the outgrowth of an assault last Monday night on Marge Ferneau by an unknown negro who escaped. RumorS that he had been arrested caused a crowd to gather at the county jail Wednesday night and again Thurs day night, but these crowds were dis persed when it was proven the negro had not been caught, Crowds gath cred again last night but had been dispersed when the shooting began.
 Among the city's 60,000 population approximately one-eighth of whom are negroes, racial feeling is still strong.
 Last nights rioting apparently came in three phases. The opening conflict between officers and negroes came when Patrolman Ryan was shot three times after he had attempted to break up a crowd of negroes.
 Ryan is expected to recover. Later there was another brush in which Shirley Shaffer, negro, received a slight scalp wound and later a general pitched battle in which twenty or more shots were fired blythe negroes and officers. the negroes dodging be- hind trees and buildings, and the off cers barricading themselves behind a curbing.
 While attempting to persuade ne groes to return to their homes and desist from violence, City Manager Edgar Parsons, Mayor B. J. Westcott and Police Prosecutor Robert Flack were fired upon but none of them was wounded.

PHELAN HOLDS AUTOS CAN GO
 AROUND CARS

In finding made public this gnorning by Coroner John J. Phelan. George w: Bre1sford, Nichols, opera tor of a Packard truck belonging to the Crane company, was not held, for he had violated no criminal act, and was with in the law when his truck struck, and fatally injured Miss Mary H. Bouton, 32, of 4S Carver street, on February 26.
 Many people will no doubt be sur prised to learn that there is no law prohibiting the driving of a machine to the left of a trolley, standing to discharge or take off passengers. so long as the machine is driven with care and not to exceed a speed of eight miles on hour. Many opera tors of motor vehicles have been un- der the impression that there was such a law, but there is not, either state or local. Had there been such a law, rigidly enforced, it is improb- able that the fatality would have occurred.
 Miss Bouton alighted from the front of the car and crossed hurriedly the front without looking to the left The driver was unable to avoid the accident due to the high banks of snow that made the space of trolley tracks the only part of Barnum ave- nue, near the offices of the U. M. C., available for traffic.
 Miss Bouton suffered a fractured skull and concealed interthoraSic in juries that caused almost instant death.
