Crowd Of Whites
Chase N. Y. Negroes
New York.—Eight bruised, bleed
ing and frightened negroes were ar
rested recently after a crowd esti
mated by police at nearly 1,000
chased them a mile through streets
of the lower Eastside and residents
pelted them with missiles thrown
from windows.
The trouble started when th°
negroes, laughing and shouting,
climbed into a taxicab packed in
Clinton street and attempted io
drive away. They attacked two
white men who ordered them out
of the cab. A crowd collected and
charged the negroes and in the
melec that followed a 16-year-old
boy was cut about the head.
The din aroused residents of j
the neighborhood and pots, pans ■
bricks and assorted odds and ends
were rained upon the negroes from
Clinton street windows. The ne- ;
grocs fought themselves free and
ran, but at every turn they found
themselves attacked from another (
direction
They had run more than a mil ’ |
through half a dozen streets before j
police reserves arrested them. They !
were charged with felonious assault j
and as each carried a large pocket
knife, some of which police said i
were blood-stained; the negroes also I
were charged with violating the '
Sullivan law.

creek, it is claimed. Mosquitoes can
not exist, where there are goldfish
They are death to the larvae.
With vigorous protests against
the mosquitoes reaching their ears,
members of the council sav ‘hey are
inclined to ’ pour oil on the troubled
waters'1 but are not anxiou. to ex
periment with goldfish.
