—_— “m 'N m cruiser, but not a penny for feeding " REANS OUT ARRESH (Continued from First Page) were watching atreet manifestations. The women were on the balcony of Berd¥m, May $ UMW—Two sections of Berlin vere declared in a state of siege today atter.a new outbreak of atreet fighting between midnight and dawn in which at least one per- son was killed, 18 seriously injured and numerous further arrests were made. Blame for the May day commu- nist riots and the disorders which have taken place during the last few days has been laid at the door of Moscow communists and the com- munist International by the Berlin chief of police and the same ac- cusation has been made by Reich- stag members, The German foreign office today started diplomatic proceedings with the government at Moscow in con- ection with the bolalfvist May day lemonstrations at which a number 'f members of the German cabinet vere insulted by posters. One post- r was particularly resented, dis- daying the much-discussed new terman battle crulser with the in- ‘ription: “Eighty million marks for & Gold, beautifully are bound to like 100 PAY $2.00 A WEEK children, and bullets for the unem- ployed.” Members of the cabinet who were ridiculed were Chancellor Mueller, Minister of Defense Groener and Minister of the Interior Severing as well as Police Chief Zoergiebel and othera. At Least 10 Dead The total number of dead in the disorders which began May day was at least 10 today with the likelihood that 12, or even more may have been killed; seven were killed dbr- ing May day disturbances and two of those wounded on that day died in hospitals this afternoon. Last night further disorders broke out in the: communist section of Neukoelln. One man is known to have been killed in the fighting while two others were reported to have been Kkilled but to have been carried off by their comrades. One woman bystander was among the 18 wounded and was carried to her home. Twelve of those seriously in- jured were in various hospitals,, in- cluding several young boys. One po- liceman also was hurt. In addition to the hundreds ar- rested Wednesday and Thursday, 50 more arrests were made overnight. The district of _Neukoelln in southeastern Berlin saw. barricades erected by communist demonstra- tors on Hermannstrasse Wwhere fighting took place last night. The police threw a heavy cordon arouni the section and waited for daylight, but this morning the communists had disappeared. The section was under strict police patrol today and presented a scene of destruction. Street car traffic was. resumed. Moscow Is Blamed Last night's outbreak was de- clared to have been incited by in- cendiary posters and speeches by communists including Reichstag members but which were bitterly criticized by the social democrats as dictated by Moscow, and as not ex- pressing the true feeling of German labor. Berlin, May 3 (®—Berlin emerged today from its second night of com- munist rioting with 10 persons dead and at least 130 more or less ser- iously injured. Many hundreds were under arrest. Property damage was considerable, Last night's total was three dead and 20 injured. It was not until daybreak that po- lice, armed with hand grenades, tear bombs, machine guns, and protected by armored cars, found that the communists had abandoned barri- cades they had built on Herman- strasse, Neukolnn, Southeastern Ber- lin. After the first stages of fighting last night the constabulary had con- tented itselt with throwing a heavy cordon around the area and awaiting daylight, realizing that to attack the barricades in the dark would involve heavy loss of life. They found the street in ruins as they entered it this morning. Matcr- ials which were to have been used for a subway extension had been worked into the barricades, paving blocks were torn up, trees uprooted, windows smashed, and stores looted for more than a mile. Police Search Houses Police refused to penetrate the into the area until after the popu- lation had gone to work. As persons emerged from the barricaded dis- trict they had to throw up their hands and submit to aearch for weapons and guestioning, many be- ing hurried off under arrest. As soon as anybody showed himself at a win- dow police fired a warning shot and announced that on repetition of the offense they would not hesitate to shoot to kill. A house to house search for instigators of the riots was planned. Police today suppressed the com- munist organ, Die Rote Fahne (The Red Flag), which was charged with having aided in inciting the com- munists. Both the socialist party and the trade unions this morning issued press appeals to workers not to heed the communist agitation. “The Berlin dead and injured,” | said the appeal, “are merely mater- | ial for agitation for communists and nothing more. Workers, don’t let yourselves be used by the bankrupt communist party and their Moscow wire pullers. In last analysis only the sworn enemies of the republic and the proletarians will profit.” Last night's riots climaxed a day ot post-May Day demonstrations. Like the fighting in the wedding district Wednesday night it began after communists agitators with pamphlets had worked up their sym- pathizers to such a high pitch of excitement they readily obeyed their orders. Street lights were smashed and the Hermannstrasse section and its side streets were in deep darkness. Sniping was hegun from windows, with the communists taking pof shots at the police, who first pa- trolled the section in squads but later called for reinforcements. Beer Bottles as Weapons Communists who had no guns used stones and beer botfles and many times aimed so well with the bottle that they knocked the guns from the policemen's hands. After hand to hand fighting in which many persons were injured the po- lice were forced from the atreet and the barricades were thrown up. Lvery conceivable object in the neighborhood was used to reinforce the obatructions. NEW BRITAIN: DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, MAY 3, 1929. Armored cars manned by 300 po- lice cleared the side atreet without difficulty, their machine guns, load- ed with blanks, beating a rat-a-tat- tat which frightened off the com- munists to the protection of their barricades. | One party issued forth and at- tacked, the diatrict police station but was driven off after the did a lit- tle damage such as breaking win- dows and crashing in doors. When it became apparent a night attack would involve a heavy loss of life the police withdrew until morning, cnly to find when d-yll:)\s came they defenders had fled. Sullen resentment of the: Neu- koelln residents was evident as the police penetrated the barrier area. A few stones were thrown at them but there was hardly the shadow of the resistance of last night. Work- men engaged in construction of the rew subway refused to work under the supervision of the police. Predict More Rioting At police district headquarters the opinion was expressed there would be an attempt to resume the rioting tonigkt. A curfew order for 9 p. m. was issued, with the warning that anybody found abroad after that hour might be shet. . * ;1 By 10 a. m. the donstabulary’' was in absolute costrol of the affected avea, searching houses and making a large number of arrests. Many weapons were confiscated. The formal order of .suspensien for Die Rote Fahn Fahne was post- ed. It forbids publication for three weeks for having supported the ef- fort of the communist party to une dermine the constitutional republi- can form cf the German govern- ment.
