OF DISTRICT POLICE
A sweeping Investigation of the
"police and hieher officials" of the
District to place the blame for the re
cent wave of crime and disorders that
have followed is provided in the reso
lutlon introduced in the House today
py Congressman Frank Clark of
Florida.
Mr. Clark will urge that the House
Rules Committee take speedy action
on the resolution and that an imme
diate investigation be started.

Commissioners Appeal to AH
With the police arrangements to be made tonight,
if the authorities can have the co-operation and assist
ance of law-abiding citizens, the situation will be kept
in hand.
At no time last night was the city at the mercy
of the mob. The violence which occurred was sporadic
in character and most of the shootings and other out
rages took place where small crowds or no crowds at
all were gathered. The large crowds, and what might
properly be termed mobs, were dispersed by the police

Latest developments in the race riot situation are:
The Commissioners decide' against asking Presi
dent Wilson to institute martial law in the city:
Congressman Emerson of Ohio introduces reso
lution asking the President to declare martial law.
Congressman Vale of Colorado also introduced a
resolution calling on the President to declare martial
law to "preserve the dignity of the Government of
the Onited States."
The Police Department will increase patrols of
soldiers and marines, add to the reserves, in each pre
cinct, and close the streets to vehicle traffic in troubled
zones.' - - ,

Washington' turns grimly to1rer own resources iir
the task of stamping out the race conflict The slender
police forces of the Capital are to be re-enforced by ad
ditional soldiery, and the Commissioners, after a. con
ference with Major Pullman and army officials, are con
fident they can control the situation.
President Wilson alone can declare martial law, and
no appeal has been made to him to do so. He will not
act without representations from the War Department
and the District Commissioners.
The city, awakening with blood-shot eyes to review
its night of terror, and wondering whether it has Rus
sianized its reputation, wants the sternest measures, but
citizens generally express confidence m the CommlsSloners,
action.
Whites and Blacks Warned.
If tonight turns red and rioting flares up again, ten
it is recognized that Washington has no recourse but fq
turn itself over to the military authorities and endure a
taste of real war. Both whites and blacks are warned of
the consequences that will ensue if the streets are crowded
tonight and another blood orgy is staged.
After the most weird and wicked night in its history,
the Nation's Capital has been brought to realize that drastic
steps must be taken if its vaunted boast of being "the
best governed city in the world" is not to become a by
word.
War Department officials will see to it that bands of
marines do not organize to avenge the shooting of three,
of their "buddies" last night, and all mobs will be dispersed
by the police, who have been given instruction to take
whatever action their best judgment dictates in enforcing
their authority.
Curiosity Seekers Are Barred.
Persons parading the downtenvn streets tonight 'with
out apparent destinations are likely to find their activities
considerably curtailed by the police, and mere cariosity
seekers "will not be tolerated.
District affairs are to be given a thorough airing in
Congress as the result of the tragedy, and it is certain that
responsibility for the present inadequate condition of the,
police force will be traced to its source.
So far as rioting was concerned, the morning and early
afternoon passed without incident, and there were no addV
tions to the death roll, although the list of the mindr
wounded increased considerably. fc
Sorrow over the murder of Detective Harry Wilson
was general throughout the city today, and at the District
Buildine his loss will be keenly felt, for he was one of the.
most efficient detectives in the city.
Major Pullman sent a request to the police of all neigh
boring towns and cities that they bar the sale of firearms
and ammunition for a time, in view of the Washington
situation.
Another outrage by a negro on a young woman was
reported from Capitol Heights, Prince George's .county,
Md., where Mrs. H. Nightingale, while returning from the
"movies" shortly after 9 o'clock last night, was attacked
how aa Booddiauon makes you fei.jw a black TpftTi and fought hi off after a hard struggle,
