' I JBOSTOX RACE MOT CAUSED BY MOVIES Trotter, Notorious For White House Incident, and Other Negroes Get in Trouble. ! i I Boston, April 17.?A racial disturbance which developed tonight in the lobby of the Tremont theater, where a motion picture play dealing with the Reconstruction period in the South was presented, resulted in tae arrest "of William Munroe Trotter, secretary of the National Equal Rights league,! Aaron W. Puller, pastor of the Peo- ! i pie's Baptist cburch, two other ne-j groes and a wi':ite man. Trotter, who is charged with disturbing the peace, claims he was' struck in the face by a policeman. 1 Puller was arrested on tae same charge. Trotter said he had decided to go to the theater tonigf:t after receiving a letter from Mayor Curley to the effect that the producers of the play had made changes in the films at the request of persons who sympathised witfi objections made by ne-| groes who had seen the exhibition. The trouble followed the alleged refusal of t'r.e theater to sell tickets to j Trotter. The explanation given by the management was that ti>e house was: sold out. Disorders had been anticipated by j the police and more than 100 reserves were near the theater at the opening hour. During tfre disturbance in the theater lobby and for a long time af- | terward hundreds of negroes walked j up and down Tremont street between files of police reserves or clustered on Boston common until dispersed. \ Trotter came into prominence recently wf:en he headed a committee of negroes who called upon President (WHlson to protest against segregation ' of department employes at Washington. 11 l,?IB> The Diabolical Hen.

THIRD ARIAL RAID UPON tNGLISH COAST A KIM) PLANE FOLLOWS DASHES BY ZEPPELINS. I Authorities Inclined to Believe it May Presaire Further Attack in Force. Prepart For Defense. ! r nnrfrtn Anril IK?TTnwlanH tnriav experienced its third German air raid wituin 48 hours, but the last, like t e others, resulted in no loss of life and 110 serious damage to property. Taking advantage of fine weather, which enabled Zeppelins to visit the vicinity of the Tyne Wednesday night and the coasts of Suffolk and Essex early this morning, a German aeron!n no flpw rvvpr f!nnntv Kpnf dron ping bombs. In all, four missiles were dropped?in t-e vicinity of the towns of Faversham and Sittingbourne, the latter just across from the Isle or'i S.ieppey, which is the birthplace of the British royal naval flying corps, j Ail the bombs fell in fields. From Sittingbourne, the aeroplane flew over the Isle of Sheppy and it is thought probable the raider mistook j the town attacked for Sheruess, the j British naval base, which is on the 1 other side of the island. O11 1 is way j the airman passed over Canterbury j and ether towns in Kent, but did not j 1 loose any explosives upon or near ! them. Beit Little Damage. Zeppelins?for it is believed two ' visited East Anglia during the early i hours of the morning?dropped some \ 25 incendiary and explosive bombs on Lowestoft, South wold, Maldoa, Burnham-on-the-Crouch, Heybridge and Tilling?: am, but like t-'.ie raid of the previous night on the Tynemouth district, only slight damage was done, although many person had narrow escaDes. In Lowestoft a bomb dropped I in a garden, shattered a row of small | houses and people sleeping in them i were cut by broken glass. During the three raids at least 50 bombs were sent down by Germans. T e raiders kept away from the larger towns. There they might have been discovered by searchlight and come under fire from the land. Answer Raid With Raid. There is an inclination fcere to con- j sider the raid only in the nature of i reconnaissances, for, except in tite case of aeroplane bases, points of mil-: itary importance were avoided, al-! though in each case aircraft passed, within a short distance of such places, j In view of this belief extra precautions are being taken while l':e fine [ weather lasts. The allies are making ! I reprisals for all attacks, and it is be-! lieved here tJ' at the raids over Eng-; land will receive their reply before , long. Meanwhile battles are proceeding on the continent. Although a thaw >':as set in in the Carpathians and the j roads have been turned into morasses and districts are inundated by swollA streams, figTting continues. The Russians claim that they have taken further heights in the mountain ranges and repulsed several attacks. Other Attacks Made. The Austrians make similar claims and disclose the facts that the Rus sians have been attacking also in southeast Poland and western Galicia, apparently trying to prevent the Austrians from sending more reinforce-! ments into the Carpathians. In the west comparatively calm pre- [ vails, following the reported French victory north of Arras, which would give them another point of vantage from wi ich to launch an offensive. The British Indian office reports that j Indian troops have inflicted another I defeat on the Turks, while the Rus-! sians again '~ave been harrassing j Turkish commerce in the Black Sea by sinking four steamers and several sailing vessels and bombarding Asia Minor coast forts. (Germany I' as promised to inquire into the sinking of the Dutch steamer Katwyk, which the captain and crew nharcra was sunk off the Xorth Hinder light by a German submarine. PATTERSON CASHIER.
