IN PISTI][ DUEL {xchange Shots in Bridgeport, Several Being Wounded Bridgeport, Dec. 17.—A pistol and gun battle between practically 'the whole of Bridgeport's night police force and thirty members of the Keystone Social Club, a negro organi- zation on Water street, raged for three hours yesterday. In the fight a policeman, two other whites and three blacks were shot. Two prob- ably will dle. For a while the police used re- volvers against automatics. = Finally they resorted to army rifies. A one- pound cannon also was drawn up in front of the premises but not used. The proprietor of the club is Wil- liam Thomas, who {8 known as “‘Baby Doll” and wields great influence po- iitically in his district. He is the right hand man of J. T. King, the republican boss of Bridgeport. He is under arrest with 106 athers. Twelve of the prisoners hre white men and more than a dozen are young white women, The battle started at 2 o’clock and thousands of shots were fired before it came to a close. The trouble. was caused by the report of & white man | at police headquarters thst he had been roughly handled in the so-called club rooms and thén hurled into the street. Lieut. Walker detailed a Ser- geant and three policemen to make an investigation, The officers arrived at the club just as a second white man was being hurled through a door. They stormed the place, but found all entrances While they were battering at the panels a negro within opened a peep hole, pushed a revolver through it and fired. The bullet lodged in the thigh of Thomas McNamara, a policeman, who fell to the street. His comrades retired for nchtance They were \joined by twelve others of the force, who made a rush for the main door to the club. Windows in- stantly went up on the floors above and a volley of shots passed over the heads of the stormers. A huge crowd had gathered in ‘Water street, but quickly dispersed. The police took refuge in a building nearby. Meantime ninety-five of those within came out voluntarily. Among these were the white. men and women. The negroes from the win- dows continued to shoot, but the gun play suddenly ceased when they saw danger of striking some of the club’s frequenters. The police ended the battle for the time being until they could summon ambulances and patrols 'their orisoners to headquarters. and take ‘While they were engaged in the { task Thomas shouted from a window ! that he and the others in the club | would not be | prisoners were being taken again opened fire. a negro stepped from the place for air and fell to the street. taken al As the away he At the same time He had been shot in the eye and ‘probably will die.

Redgate finally said to the negro, who stood at a window, “Leave the buillding within fifteen minutes or we will. dynamite its’ Following the respite Thomas again refused to surrender. The police were ordered to send a volley into the club- rooms. Five officers with breech- loading riflés fired from yantage points in a freight yard across the street while others assembled near windows. The negroes within re- sponded to every shot of the police. More than two hours had passed now, and Redgate’s patience Was ex- hausted. There was no indication that Thomas was wavering, and the . superintendent ' telephoned to ‘‘the Union Metallic Cartridge company”for the cunnon. Firemen also had®been summoned’ to aid the police. © The cannon was drawn up in front of the building, but instructions were given that it ,was not to be fired until Red- gate signalled. Again he ordered the police to re: tire for a moment and from them he selected five expert shots. They, with the superintendent and the firemen with axes, forced a rear door.
