NEGRO BITES POLICEMAN
DETERMINED TO BE MAYOR KANSAS CITY, September 20. Charles Thompson, a diminutive negro, entered a city store today, stripped, took a major’s full-dress uniform from a dummy and donned it. Assistants seeking to prevent him were injured. Three carloads of police were summoned. Six officers fought for eight minutes before the negro was knocked out. One was badly bitten in the leg. From his hospital bed Thompson explained: "I guess 1 listened to too much war talk.”
