Driven beyond all, restraint through
what they consider unjust treatment,
a crowd of bluejackets from the bat
tleship', fleet stormed and 'wrecked
the restaurant of1 John Senlch late
last night. - - - ' -1
Groups of angry sailors today are
congregating along the' waterfront
and the provost guards are being
strengthened to prevent a 'repetition
ot the diBorder. 4 The men are thor
oughly, aroused and it is feared that
the slightest provoking incident may
incite them to violence. - Unless-the
provost guards ar able to round-up
the sailors and get them on the ships
before dark, it is certain there will be
serious -trouble.!; J? v .
.The trouble in the Senlch reatauratat
started over tha oharglng of two blue
jackets fa for a supper. The men paid
the bill under ".protest, and, leaving the
place,' quickly apread .the word of their
treatment to the crowds of angry sail
ors who had been controlled with-difficulty
throughout tha day. ' V. ; . ;'......
In a moment a aurglng erowd of blue-
Jackets had gathered In front of the re-
sort- 1 ; ? ' ,' ' - - -!
"Bova. not a move until tha flag Is
taken off thla' place!" yelled a giant
bluejacket, pointing to the flag that
waved over tne aoor.-. uuicsur lorming
a human scaling ladder, the men mount
ed on each ' otner'a shoulder's and . cut
the emblem' from the- staff. Every
tied was uncovered as the national em
blem waa lowered into tne arms or a
score of saJlora. Every piece of bunt
ing of tha national colors was then re
moved, amid wild ' cheers from the
erowd, which ow numbered over a
thousand. ' ' '
-i- "Now, men, go to them 1", yelled tha
leader.. .
- Like a human avalanche the mad
dened aailors charged the bolted doors.
There was a crash of glass as the doors
went down under the impact from the
big-shouldered men, and the . crowd
surged into the interior, demolishing ta
bles and crockery.1? Jn less than a min
