Plans are under way by the Playgrounds committee of the Woman's club of which Mrs. C. E.

EAST ST. LOUIS, 111., May 29.?A mob of perhaps 2,000 persons went through the negro quarter during last night, shot ono colored man, seriously wounding him, beat scores into unconsciousness, drove several hundred negroes across the Mississippi river bridge into St.. Louis, Mo., and then dispersed early today. The assault began after a report was circulated that a white woman had been insulted and two white men held up by negroes just after a committee from the Central Trade and Labor Union had attended a meeting of the city council to make a protest against the importation of any more colored laborers into St. Louis. Shots were fired at frequent inter vals but only one negro is known to b 5 wounded. He fled to St. Louis and was found there unconscious with a bullet wound in his head and three ribs fractured. All negroes were searched and if armed beaten into unconsciousness. Many negroes were given refuge in the city Jail and at midnight police estimates were that 2,000 persons surrounded the building threatening to storm it. The mob was dissuaded, bowever, and rushed into the business section where street cars were stopped and saloons searched. Several negro saloons were wrecked and Mayor Mollman issued an order for all bars in the city to close. Riot calls brought the entire city police force but the mob went virtually unchecked. Many workmen here have been Idle on account of strikes and It Is estimated that at least 8,000 negroes have been Imported from the south to take their places. The rioting continued lntermltentlly for over four hours. Governor Lowden was asked to send troops but as the National guard had been federalized it could not answer such a call.
