Seattle, Dec. 9. W) Smash
ing ihow windows and looting
displays, a crowd In excess of
1,000 persons enforced Seattle's
first war-time blackout In da
fiance of police today.
The crowd, completely out of
control of city police, milled
through the center of the city's
business district for an hour be
ginning at midnight. Approxi
mately 80 show windows, rang
ing from tiny shoe shop panes
to huge glass plates, were
smashed. Nearly all of the dis
plays were looted, some of the
merchandise being thrown in
the streets and other more val
uable pieces disappearing Into
the pockets of stragglers.
Sign Excites
. The demonstration began at
the intersection of Fourth Ave
nue and Pike Street, the city's
busiest corner, A Jam of people
gathered beneath a huge blue
neon sign stretching nearly half
a block on each side of an up
stairs clothing store (Foreman &
' Clark),
. The sign, left alight when
nearly all other lights were
turned off at 11 p.m. last night,
shed a ghastly glow over the
entire intersection.
Yells and catcalls commenced
almost immediately; and by
midnight .bottles, rocks, tin cans
and old shoes were being heaved
despite the efforts of a squad
of police.
Eventually, an employe of a
sign company broke out of a
third floor window from inside
the building and inched his way

shower of miscellaneous mis
siles to a connection to extin

Police cars pushing their way
along the curbs started the
crowd moving while an officer
with loudspeaker urged all
civilians to go home. In part,
members of the crowd were pre
vented from complying by the
fact that most city busses had
stopped running and amateur
officers in other parts of the city
were forcing all private autos
to stop. Many of the members
of the crowd were defense work
er who had made their way
down town after work only to
be stopped from going any fur
ther. Rocks Hurled
Moving away from the inter
section, the crowd, urged on by
shouting women, gathered at a
small Jewelry store across the
street where a single light burn
ed in an entry. A rock thrown
from far back smashed the plate
glass door and a triumphant
youngster rushed Inside to grab
the offending bulb.
At Fifth and Pike, missiles
showered against windows of
another Jewelry store where
lighted Christmas trees had
been left burning. One bottle
cracked a door pane; and to di
