RIOTING BREAKS OUT
AGAIN IN WASHINGTON
lVfeml>er of Home Defense Guard
Killed; One Wounded, White
Man Cut With Razor.
Washington, July 22.?Race hatred
in the national capital engendered
by attacks on white women by negroes
and fanned by three successive
nights of rioting, found expression
again tonight in clashes between
whites and blacks. A home defense j
guard was shot and killed, a second
guard fatally wounded and another
white man slashed severely by a!
razor wielded by a negrr>. All of the
neero assailants escaped.
The outbreaks, however, were spo-|
Tadic and confined to a single vicinity I
ne^r Eighth and M streets, the cen- j
ter"of the black district of the north?
west section. This was due in the
opinion of, the authorities to the extraordinary.
precautions taken to prevent
formation of mobs and to a rain
which began early in the evening;
Troops Patrol Streets. J
Approximately 1,500 troops?cavalry,
infantry, marines and sailors?
patrolled the streets and waited in reserve
for possible outbreaks, supplementing
regular and volunteer police.
Detachments of mariens from Quanti co,
Va., and regulars under command
of Major Gen. William G. Haan, from
Camp Meade, arrived early in the;
evening and took up stations in va
Tious parts of the city or on the outskirts.
Tonight's casualties brought the
number resulting from the rioting,;
which began Saturday night, to seven
persons dead, eleven believed to be
fatally wounded and scores injured,
more or less seriously.

V home defense guard. Halbfinger
, attempted to search the black who
drew a gun from his pocket and sHotj
the guard through the heart. Anoth'
er home guard, like Halbfinger, arm%
jed only with a riot stick, rah to his
wHnpanion's assistance and also was
.'shtfc. He died later. The negro escaped.
? Negroes in several parts of the city
were reported to have fired on pass
' - - .? I
ing whites but m no oiner instances
mas any one killed or'injured. Scores |
of negroes were arrested tonight
chaxged with carrying fire arms, with1
which they have been stocking* up for
several days.
. Many Riot Calls.
A statement issued by the fovernment
authorities denied the situation
bad been out of hand at any time last;
night, when riot; calls were sounding j
from half a dozen places at a time, j
The. authorities also decided not jto |
ask that martial law be declared, al- j
I though resolutions introduced in the
Souse during tne day urged that the j
Presides# be asked to take action.
President Wilson took cognizance of
the situation today when he called
Secretary Baker to the White House
for a conference on steps that might
be taken by the military in cooperation
with the civil authorities to prej
' L? > vem
recurrence of the outbreaks.
The President was understood to be
greatly concerned
Marines and Cavalry. -1
After the conferences Secretary ;
Baker announced that the troops or-1
dered from Camp Meade constituted1
a very large number and that Major
"William G. Hann would be in comS
' I
mand. Secretary Daniels said a substantial
force of marines had been
ordered'in for night patrol duty.

vent mob attacks by either blacks orJ
whites. Police and soldiers again
struggled to keep tie downtown thoroughfares
clear of crowds.
Difficult Situation.
The scattered nature of the attacks
through the three nights of growing
f ditoraer Washington has experienced
made the situation difficult, while
_ -riotiag was its worst downtown panicstricken
negroes fired indiscriminate-1

of their homes. Others whirled '
through more outlying streets in au-!
tomobiles, firing wildly at any whites J
they saw. The resolutions introduc-1
ed today ranged from that by Represenative
Clark, Democrat, of Florida,
charging that the district government!
had "utterly failed" to put a stop to j
the .crime wave that has swept the j
city for a month a*d calling for con- i
gressional investigation, to those of j
Represenative Emerson, Republican, j
of'Ohio, and Representative Vaile,
Republican, of Colorado, demanding
that martial law be declared. Repre
sentative Emerson's resolution deciar-1
?d the situation was a "national j
scandal" and called for protection of j
citizens, "irrespective of color," while
Representative Vaile declared the
""dignity and honor" of the United
-States required a martial law enforcement
of order.
- Senator Harrison, Democrat, of
Mississippi, introduced a bill to separate
the races on street cars.
/
Representative Hill, Republican, j
of New York, introduced a bill to I
regulate the sale of firearms in the j
district. In the absence of any such j
law the district commissioners in- !
duced hardware dealers and others j
to stop the sale of weapons. At least i
500 revolvers were said to have been j
sold in a single day during the dis- i
turbance. Steps to curb the terror j
cars through requiring special tags
for operation after dark, also were
discussed, but no action taken.
Even while the rioting was at its
height early today reports of another
attack upon a white woman came.
Frightened away once, her assailant
hid and seized her as she left her
house. She escaped only when all but
stripped of her clothing.
The police did not make public
their plans for the night, but, supported
by the increased provost
guard, army motor trucks armed
with machine guns and crews, cavalry
and the detachments of regulars and
i i i.L _ t

by the War and Navy departments,:
officials asserted their confidence
that the situation could be controlled.

City and police officers decided it
was unnecessary to suspend the celebration.
A double force of patrolmen
were on duty tonight in the negro

icans in civilian clothes, two of them
armed with rifles, constituted the
band which held up and robbed American
sailors who were on official duty
in a launch from the monitor Cheyenne
near Tampico July 6. A full report
on the incident was received to
day from Commander Finney, of
the cruiser Topeka.
Commander Finney said he immediately
notified the Mexican au- j
thorities at Tampico and added that
they were making every effort to apprehend
the bandits.
Commander Finney also said the J
authorities had expressed deep re--i
gret that the incident should have
- _i
foccurrea.
Secretary Daniels said today no
part of the Pacific fleet, now en
route to the west coast, would be diverted
to Mexican water, adding
that if additional forces were needed
they would be drawn from the Atlantic
fleet. Three American warships
now are on duty at or near
Tampico. They were the cruiser Topeka,
the gunboat Castine and the j
Cheyenne.
Texas Wants Chance to Protect Her- j
elf.
Austin, Texas, July 21.?Without
debate the Texas senate today
adopted a concurrent resolution calling
the attention of the president and
congress to the "guerrilla warfare
that has prevailed along the TexasMexican
border since 1875," and
asking the federal government if it
cannot protect the border to "accord
to Texas that liberty of action"
in protecting its citizens that the republic
of Texas enjoyed prior to the
time that it "in good faith became a
state of the union."
The object to be attained through '
such "liberty of action," according to j
the resolution, is "that Texas may;
take such steps as may be necessary'
for the protection of its border."
The resolution recites border incidents
since 1875 which have been
"intensified during the last nine
years," during which period citizens
of Texas "have been murdered, their
property stolen or destroyed and the'
people of this state made to suffer
the outrages of guerrilla warfare."
Citizens of New Mexico and Arizona
have suffered similar outrages, the ;
resolution declares.
