POLICE KILL A NUMBER OF MOB
IN SHIP YARD DISTURBANCES;
RI0TING;L00TING ELSEWHERE
Tho Associaletl l'rcss.
HAMBURG March 2-1. Fifteen civilhms and one
police officer were killed in riots here late Wednesday.
Sik persons were seriously wounded.
The rioting occurred when a mob formed and at-
tempted to break the police cordon about the Vulcan ship
yards.
When efforts to disarm the police were started they
ordered the crowd to disperse. The order was ignored
when the officers opened fire.
Later the police supplemented their gun fire with
hand grenades which were thrown into the mob.
The Blohm and Voss shipyards where there was con-
siderable fighting on Wednesday have been closed.
Communist leaders tried to hold a mass demoiistra-
tionat Heiligngeist field but were unable to obtain pos-
session of the place as the police erected a barbed wire
entanglement around it and stationed armored cars at
strategic points.
The crowds stoned the cars after being foiled in their
attempt to hold a meeting. Street car service was sus-
pended during the day. Some of the streets have been
barred to traffic.
