Attitude When Belligerents Attack Him
It ivas all due to n slight misunder
standing. If Joe TVllllams had hesitated and Qeorgo
Jones had paused and Dave Howard had
stopped to consider things might have
leen Indifferent. But tho three Individuals
named are Impulsive.
Therefore a riot call was sent from Musi
cal Fund Hall early today. A few minutes
liter a score of police charged on 300 ne
groes who were attending tho O. K. Cato
Lodge ball.
Kazors glistened like bayonets as tho
police entered the ceremonies. It was evi
dent that many of those present were nu
friendly. In one end of tho room at least
127 negroes wcro trying to pass through a
four-by-slx door at tho samo moment. It
was evident that tho man who built the
door had not contemplated such a test, so
most of the guests stuck fast.
A somewhat alternate collection of feet
and heads stared nt tho police as they
entered. At different parts of tho hall there
were various piles of negroes In the midst
of battle. In fact, the spirit of combat
seemed to dominate tho cntlro proceedings.
The antagonists wero keenly disappointed
when the police dragged them away from

mo two dozen bluecoats took as many prls

with much difficulty tho police got the
nien to the street and sent them by wagon
loads to tho Fifteenth and Locust streets
station. A few of the guests who escaped
continued their fights out In Locust street
when they saw the patrols wero tilled to
capacity.
Uy tho process of elimination tho cause of
the excitement was brought to tho surface.
As far as can be learned It was ns follows:
Joe Williams, mentioned somewhere above,
met nn old sweetheart from Wilmington.
While they wero talking Oeorgo Jones hap
pened along and reminded tho woman that
sho had contracted for the next dance Wll
Hams told Jones to forget It. Jones told
Williams to remain neutral. Williams, who
was an advocate of preparedness, shelled
Jones with both fists, Davo Howard came
along to separate tho men They refused
lo ceaso hostilities and Howard declared
war on both. Williams and Jones then for
got their personal disagreement and turned
their bombardment on Howard. Ho shouted
for help.
So nfter tho matter was sifted down nt
the court of Inquiry nt the station House
Just six prisoners were held by Maglstrato
Honey. Tho janitor of tho ball had to re
move many coat slcces and collars from
the scene of carnage.
