inciting a riot They were identified as George Washington Ware of Atlanta and Ernest Stephens of Tuskegee Ala and were being held at police headquarters Ware told police he was with advocate Stok-ely Carmichael here Saturday Stephens said he was a worker for the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) headed by Carmichael Hie charges stemmed from riots which erupted Saturday a few hours after Carmichael spoke at a symposium at predominantly white Vanderbilt University The violence was triggered when police ejected a Negro from a Negro tavern at the request Police said Carmichael was not seen in the area of the rioting Raam Near Campuses One Negro college student was shot in the neck last night and hospitalized as Negro rioters fired at police stoned passing cars and roamed the streets between the campuses of predominantly Negro Fisk and Tennessee State Universities a mile apart In two nights of violence at least 50 persons were arrested Most charges ranged from disorderly conduct to unauthorized possession and transportation of explosives Four white men arrested had shotguns and a pistol in their possession Police arresed six men and a woman at a house where officers said they found some Molotov cocktails Three businesses one owned by white man were set afire by Molotov cocktails police said and one vacant house and several trucks caught fire Rocks were thrown at fire engines en mute to the blazes which were extinguished quickly At a food store several Negroes fled under a hail of police bullets after a window was broken Many Injured Hospitals reported many
