Women and Girls Join Men. At sundown the rioting still pro- gressed in some quarters of the town. ‘Women and girls joining with the men, dragged negro women from the street cars in the downtown district. Setting Fires in Negro Quarters. At 6 o'clock white mobs began to set fire to the homes in the negro quar- ters. Troopefs themselves were disarmed by the mobs in many instances and together with the police, seemed pow- erless before the rioters. How Riot Started. The disorder which began when a mob of 200 negroes fired on an au- tomobile load of policemen last night, killing o1 reached a climax this forenoon. this outbreak three ne- gro men and one white man were killed, two white men and two negroes were shot and wounded and 28 others so badly beaten and stoned that they were taken to hospitals. Taking Negroes Across the River Tonight with the saloons closed and street car service stopped by order of the authorities, national guardsmen began escorting truckloads of negroes across the river to Missouri. Negreeses Terrorized, Until the white women began to participate, negro women and girls had seemed immune from attack, but when this occurred, negresses, too, were terrorized and attacked. Undertakers Ready for Calls. As the rioting downtown progressed, undertakers lined their wagons by the curb, ready for the expected call to haul away the dead. The nesroes seemed helpless in the face of today’s outbreak. The two white men who were shot and the one who was killed were victims of stray bullets. Sixtesn Guardsmen Disarmed Sixteen guardsmen were disarmed by members of the mob, who calmly asked the soldiers to give them the $5.00 per Month swimming pool. The boys expect to do much fishing and rowing this week, being determined to catch as many breakfasts as possible. Scoutmaster Rev. W. C.

Mayor Mollman ordered the saloons closed at noon and it was hoped that this measure would prevent any seri- ous outbreak tonight. The guardsmen, according to the commander, Major William Klauser, patroiled the strcets with loaded rifles, but were under instructions to con- fine aggressive measures to the bayo- net. During the rioting of the afternoon no member of the mob was seriously hurt by a guardsman, and the out- breaks continued in the heart of the city despite warnings of the police and the national guard officers, The immediate cause of the rioting today was the outbreak of negroes late last night, but for several davs there had_been evidences. of bad blood and on Saturday night several minor clash- es between whites anl blacks occurred. Clashes Saturday Night. The clashes Saturday night appar- ently alarmed the negro quarter of the city, or at least gave agitators a chance to_organize the blacks for fighting. When word was telephoned to police headquarters that tHe ringing o fa church bell had called the armed negroes together, an automobile load- ed with police left for the sceme to dieperse the crowd. The officers were greeted with a volley. Detective Ser- Zeant Coppedge was kiiled and three policemen were wounded. One detec- tive, Frank Wodley, now is in the hospital in a_critical condition. He was shot in the stomach. The police chauffeur also was wounded. Jay Tong, a white man, was wounded in an earler attack. Mob of Negroes Dispersed. Police reinforcements early this morning dispersed the mob of negroes and shortly after 3 a. m. Mayor Moll- man asked Governor Lowden to send national guardemen here to preserve order. Two companies of the guard arrived about 9.30 and were assigned to duty In the negro quarter. Up to that hour the streets were quiet and it seemed that the day would pass with- out a renewal of the rioting. Agitators Inflamed Mob. As the morning wore on crowds be- gan to congregate in the street and, encouraged by the absence of troops from the do town section, agitators began their work of inflaming the mob. Innocent Negro Attacked. The first trouble occurred when a negro appeared at Broadway and Col- linsville avenue. one of the busiest cor- iners in the city and an important street car transfer point. A white man struck the negro in the face and others in the crowd knocked him down and kicked him. he lay in the street a white man coolly approached and fired at him five times. Two of the shots | took effect, one in the arm and one in the lex. As the crowd, thinking the nezro was dead. fell back. he jumped up and ran. The negro said he had no part in previous race troubles. A little later a white man standing lin front of the Illmo motel fired at a negro, but missed him and wounded a white man, Louis Haegze, aged 65, In the groin The police arrested the man who fired the shot. but a threatening mob forced the officers to release him Later a man o the police say was the one who Haege was found haranguing a owd.

After reviewing the list of organi- zations which are to participate in the Fourth of July parade at New London, Capt. J. E. Wilson, U. S. A, military aide to Grand Marshal Mayor Ernest E. Rogers, who has direct superivision of the parade arrangements, estimates that there will be a line more than three miles long. The parade arrange- ments have been made, nevertheless, so that if orders are obeyed to the let- ter the big procession will move on time and without confusion. The parade, it is estimated, will ex- tend from Squire street and Ocsan avenue to the Crystal avenue bridge. every organizatiens in the city. It is expected that there will be two ships of the navy in the harbor and that contingents of railors from both with probably thier ship bands will be in line. The names of the ships are not known, but the navy department has given assurance that they will be sent here for the holiday Captain Wilson wants to impress upon all societies that they should be in position by 1:15 Otherwise a society might not he able to get ts proper position in the parade and might find itseif at the end of the procession It is planned to keep ail traffic, with Tank the the exception of trolleys, off street for some time preceding parade and to stop even the trolle: 15 minutes 2 o'clock, before 2 which is the hour the parade is sched- uled to begin. It is only by having the street entirely free of traffic that the big parade with its many parts can be properly managed { The streets will be policed by mounted men from Battery E. Con- necticut Nationai Guard, now sta- tioned here. These guardsmen po- liced the streets for the Memorial da: parade and did excellent work in see ng that nothing obstructed the pa- rade. Considerable nf a problem is pre- sented in the dismissal of the big pa- rade. Many of the organizations wiil remain at Riverside park for the post- parade exercises, but the visiting mil- itary bodies will want to get to boats and trains right after the procession and it is planned to arrange for this by having them march down Main street and through intersecting streets. All arrangements are now complete. Each organization has its place as- signed to it and the marshals and aides have been given full instruc- tions by Captain Wilson. Good weather is all that is required now to make it the biggest day in the history of New London.. Thousands of visitors are expected from all cver the state.
