Objset to Paying Mor Thn
Thsy Fix Thsmtelvss
New York, Jan. 18. Forcible resist-
ante by tenant whom an Upper Kast
Side landlord was trying to evict result
ed yesterday in th gathering of crowd
of two thousand or mors tymptinisers
in th neighborhood, who made so
much trouble for the police that th
precinct reserve were called out. Dor
ing the rioting tour women snd a nam
ber of men were taken Into custody
The riotous demonstration began
when a city marshal and about 28 as-
istaot visited the blork on the south
tide of Kast One Hundred and Kouith
street, between Pint and Second vv
mien, with HO dispossess warrants lor
families who had unitedly demanded
reductions In rents if a dollar a month
and had refused to pay the landlord's
collector more than the new rate they
had Died. The taking out of the furn
iture from the rooms of the first family
visited was ths signal for an attack on
the marshal and hi men by tcoros of
tenants.
Angry women surrounded a patrol
man who had gone to the nisrxhal's as
sistance and had half torn hitctnt from
his back when assistance arrived. He
arrested four women. Several demon
strative men were also eent to the sta
tion house. Ths police were by this
time struggling with little tucresa to
disperse an increasing crowd of angry
demonstrators, hut other arrests by the
officers finally hsd the effect of putting
a atop to the trouble.
The immediate purpose of the dem
onstration was effected, the mtrehsl
deciding not to attempt the serving ol
more dispossess warrants at the time.
