THROW BRICKS FROM ROOFS
Chimneys Were Torn Down to Fur-
nish the Rioters on House
Tops With Ammunition.
“San Juan Hill,” the district bound- |
ed by Amsterdam and West End ave-
nues and Sixty-first and Sixty-third
streets New York, so called because
of its notoriety as a battleground. was
the scene of a furious race riot, after
many shots had been fired and sev-|
eral persons had been seriously in-
jured. s
The trouble began when a police-
man arrested Edward Connelly for at-
tacking Henry Williams, a negro, and
was pursued to the station house with |
his prisoner by a mob of Connelly’s
friends hurling showers of stones and
other missiles. When the station house
reserves turned out the whole neigh-
porhood was in an uproar and blacks |
engaged in desperate struggles in the |
streets. Torrents of missiles were hur-
led from roofs and windows. Within
10 minutes not less than a thousand
men, boys and women black and white
were engaged in furious combat.
The worst of the fighting was in
Sixty-second street, where from every
window and from every roof rained
missiles, while hundreds of shots were
fired. Roundsman Patrick Walsh was
knocked down by Joseph B. Smita, a
negro who, after attempting to shoot
him, struck him repeatedly with the
butt of his revolver. Walsh was fin-
ally rescued by his comrades.
Squads of policemen were sent along |
the roofs of the houses in Sixty-second |
street, where the fighting seemed heav-
jest. They walked from West End
avenue to Amsterdam, clearing the
roofs. and found that many chimneys
had been torn to pieces to furnish am-
munition to the rioters. More arrests
were made and several whites and ne-
groes were rescued from gangs of as-
sailants, but desultory combats con-
tinued.
MACCABEES WIN SUIT
Man, Who Sued to Prevent Increas-
of Assessment, Loses Case.
Judge Law, in the circuit court, at
Port Huron, Mich., handed down his
opinion in the case of Dan St. Clair
Wineland of Pittsburgh, against the
Knights of the Maccabees of the
World, in which Wineland protested
pgainst the rise in rates adopted by
the supreme tent at its biennial ses-
sion a year ago.
Judge Law dismissed the bill of
complaint with costs to the defendant.
The decision was based on the clause
jin the laws of the supreme tent gov-
erning applications for membership,
which reads as follows: “This applica-
tion and the constitution and laws of
the supreme tent now in force or that
may hereafter be adopted are made |
the sole basis of the contract between
myself and the supreme tent.”
