BLACKS FILL JAIL AFTER WILD NIGHT Police Court Overflows With Darkies Who Celebrate Jack Johnson’s Victory. Judge Broyles’ court room overflow id todav with denizens of Darkfown who had celebrated Independence Day with a too liberal absorption of pa triotism and beer. On the floor below the long rows of cells bulged with still numbering victims of blind tiger corn, and in Grady hospital, around the cor ner doctors and nurses were busy put ting fresh bandages on long and snort slashes left by the deft use of razors.

Slashed Wife and Baby. Will Thomas, a negro who lives at JOO Orme street, w’ent home from the celebration with a razor in his hand, and when he met his wife at the doot with her baby in her arms he carved both of them so freely that they were sent to the hospital. Thomas is locked up with a charge of assault to commit murder registered against him. One or two negroes were shot in general free for-all mix-ups in the suburbs, and the doctors had many callers who walked In to have a head bandaged or a out sewed up. But the Grady physicians believe none will die. The Fourth was singularly lucky so far as fireworks were concerned. There wasn’t a case of flreworks injury at Grady, nor a Roman candle blaze on the fire department record. The night ambulance calls at Grady were only twelve, against 400 on the Fourth a year ago. But what the celebration lacked in injuries, It made up in dis order, for Recorder Broyles found 105 cases on his police docket when he opened court. It was far in the day when he had sent up the last offender for thirty days in the stockade, and the afternoon session promised to be equally as long.
