The1 capital is quiet today afte a ight of inter mittent rioting during which a band of soldiers, sailors and marines vis ited terror upon negroes in retaliation for the series of negro attacks on white .women and the long series of daylight holdups and robberies ;which had taken place in the eity recently., yWhile the police stood apparently nowerless uniformed men seized and .beat, negroes at points along Penn sylvania avenue between the cap'tal and: the White House and when they had finished f or the night they let it be know that, they intended to meet against tonight "to finish the job." The trouble began coming to a fo cus .Saturday -night when.-.-the siith attack on. white women jrf the stteetsr t 'hQjigmm!mm&?rMr last sailor. The assailant got away from the police and the service men de termined Saturday night to take mat ters in their own hands. They marcb- ed through the southwest section of the city driving the negroes in terror to their homes where they barricaded ' themselves. Those caught were : beaten ond a negro who had been ' questioned by the police concerning ' the attack on the sailors wife nar rowly escaped lynching. Things finally quieted about mid ngiht and the police patrlol was doubled in that section and instructed to round up any loitering negroes. The negroes promptly retaliated when one of their number shot and seriously wounded a policeman who questioned him as he was loitering about the entrance to an alley. The neerro es caped from the policemen. This in cident fanned the flames and all day yesterday word was j being passed around among soldiers, sailors and marines to assemble on Pennsylvania avenue Sunday evening for the "clean up?' Accordingly last night the service men. appeared in little bands and be gan' to deal out beatines to negroes wherever they appeared. One who shouted at the marchers from a trol-, ley car was dragged off and knocked insensible and another was tlaid out within a hundred yards of the White House enrtance. All up and down the avenue there were similar encounters in which the negroes finally fled in terror. When they retired for the night the service men declared they wouH slhT forth again this evening and invited any white men who wished to join them. v -; " Local authorities have asked the imadine corps to furnish a guard ' of marines for the business section of the city tonight to prevent further disorders and it has been promised. ; Secretary (Baker of the war depart- ' dispatch to Vienna newspapers, ment conferred today with the gov- The three men composing the new erning authorities of the city, who government are Vagra, former minis asked that leaves of soldiers and. sail- ,'ter of social protection; 'Moses Al ors be curtailed to keep them off the para and Tiber Szamuely. streets at night. : I The new governirint, according to Federal Government to Intervene. 1 reports received here, has ordered Washington.
