Naval officers who returned on the Mobile reported 24 transports at Brest waiting for troops to bring home.

Police tonizht said they had the situation well in hand. . The trouble started at the Wwenty Niuth Street beach where whites and blacks are segregated, and soon spread to State Streel, the Inain thoroughfare in the heart of the nezro distriet, which extends abon five miles. ' Shooting started near the beach. There was also some shooting in the vicinity of State Street.

Reports that negroes wandered across the dividing line to the white section of the beach, and that whites | amused themselves by throswing smull’ stones at negro bathers, appearsd the | most plausible cause. Soon after tke fighting started a negro fled pursucd by a number of whites. He took sheiter behind a building | and began shooting at a policeman who had joined the pursuit and who | returned the fire. The negro finally surrendered. During the fight, one negro was probably fatally wounded. Twenty Ninth Street was soon pack- ed with white and blacks, the laiter predominating. More fighting occur- red and a few shots were fired as some of the negroes fled and patrol wagons loaded with bluecoats raced to the scene. A fire broke -out in a small building and fire apparatus was blocked by the throngs. Negroes are said to have tried to drag the firemen from their seats. During the fighting. rocks, bricks and other missiies were hurled, both at the beach and at various points along Twenty Ninth Street and along State Street, the police said. At the beach while missiles were flying a negro on a raft, was reported to have been struck with a rock and hurled into the lake. Later the body of a negro was taken from the water.
