Charge His Teachings Stir Up Race Trouble. Austin, Texas, Aug. 22.—J. R. Shillady, a white man, secretary of the National Association for the Ad- "vafi^f-nu'nf.uf Colored—People;—who- was severely beaten and placed on board an outbound train for St. Louis today, had been “inciting negroes • against whites,” and had previously been warned to leave Austin, accord ing to County Judge Dave J. Pickle, of Travis county, tonight. The attack on Shillady, Judge Pickle said, was made by himself. Consta bles Charles Hamby and Ben Pierce, none of whom, he declared, would shirk responsibility in the matter. Judge Pickle emphasized, however, that he and his companions were act ing unofficially. Up to a late hour to night no charges ha4 been prepared against any of Shillady’s assailants. Shillady was returning from a meeting with the negroes, Judge Picke declare, in describing the at tack, —“A - told him (Shillady ) " : .the_ judge said later, “that his actions were inciting the negroes against the whites and would cause trouble and warned him to leave towm. I told him our negroes woud cause no trouble if left alone. I whipped him and order ed him to leave because I thought it was for the best interest of Austin and state.” Shilladyv came Austin yesterday and visiting the attorney general’s de partment, it was learned today, made inquiry concerning the operation of “foreign corporations” in Texas, and asked why a local branch of the National Association for the Advance ment ef Colored People had been dis banded here two weeks ago. He was told the association had no permit to do business in Texas and that the disbanding of the branch was entirely in the hands of local authorities. Shillady then went to the adjutant general’s department, it is said, and asked why the Texas Rangers were interfering with his association. As sistant Adjutant General W. D. Cope is said to have replied that the rang ers have been investigating organiza tions among negroes since the race -luts at-fauugvlewHbout a mAfitFago and had found that the teaching of the Advancement Association, “which advocates racial equality," was creat ing Jrouble between the races. Late yesterday Shillady was hailed >efore a court of inquiry the proceed ings of which have q,ot beefi disclos ed. Judge Pickle says at this time he warned ShHlady to leave Austin be cause he was creating trouble. Shortly before noon today, Shillady held a conference with negroes and while returning to his hotel was ac costed by Judge Pickle, Hamby and Pierce. Constable Hamby, according to., the county judge, asked Shillady why he was holding meetings and “stirring up more trouble than Aus* tin citizens can get rid of in ten years.” tug fonowaA—-rr. answered Shillady, according to Pickle. “Pll fix you so you can see,” re plied Hamby, as he struck Shillady in the eye with his fist. Judge Pickle says he and Pierce joined in the fray and Shillady was beaten until his face bled freely and he “asked for mercy.” Shillady then was escorted to the station where he purchased a ticket for St. Louis, and left Austin with a final warning by Constable Hamby not to stop in the limits of Texas.* There was no indication that local negroes resented the affair.

Nashville, Aug. 21.—With railroad and postoffice detectives scouring mid- dle Tennessee and following every in- JSL dication of a clue late this afternoon, the four bandits who held up and rob bed the Louisville and NashviRe pas senger train No. V, ten miles south of Columbia, last night, were still at large. One clue was based on the re port that a woman and two men were seen driving In an. automobile near the scene of the robbery late last night couplcl w. ,+ h the mvaterio.is aopear- ance here two days ago of a woman who claimed to be from a Western State and had a ticket for Glendale, the station near which the robbery oc curred. A slim, delicate looking man of about 25 years with a broken nose is also being sought by the o cials. En gineer Wray having told government officials this was the only man who took off his mask.

Tomorrow's :W|P Tjmr NEW 1RTHMOR WA«»7» Although no officitl estimate of the amount of booty taken by the robbers has been given out, it was rumored here today yiat* the bandits got $60,- 000 in cash from the mail car. According to W. P. Mulvihill, the fireman, two of the bandits boarded the train at Columbia, riding the “blind baggage.” When in a wooded section the bandits climbed over the tender and pointing their guns at the engineer and fireman shouted “The train is held up.” . • . The engineer says they were then ordered to run the train until they came to white light. The light ap peared just south of Glendale and w r as a searchlight held by one of the ban dits. While two bandits stayed with Wray, a third compelled Mulvihill to go back with him and cut off the engine, ex press car, baggage car and mail car. On their way they met S. H. Allen, conductor of the train on his way to the engine to investigate the stopping of the train. After the train was cut, the robber ordered the fireman and conductor to get into the coaches which they did. The three bandits forced the engi neer to drive the engine with the bag gage, express and iqail attached to it to a j>oint about half a mile beyond tached and there stop. After rifling the mails, the bandUs cut the engine loose, threw the throt tle wide open and left the locomotive to spend its power anywhere south of Glendale. It stopped near Wales Sta tion, eight miles north of Pulaski. Before cutting the engine loose ban dit No. 4 made his appearance. Ac cording to Wray he was hiding in the bushes ajong the track. The clerks and Wray were then or dered to “beat it” down the track with a trail of threats following. The ban dits then escaped In an. automobile which is believed to have been brought there by bandit No. 4. Passengers on the train were not disturbed. Many who were in the day coaches knew-the train had stopped but not that it was being robbed. Those In the sleepers knew nothing until daybreak. A. W. Brant, assistant superintend ent of the road, stated Thursday he was informed an automobile answer ing the description of the one used by the bandits, was seen near Franklin and was headed for Nashville. Chief Deputy Sheriff Moore stationed men all through the outskirts in hopes of capturing tfce men. Express company and railroad of ficials are of the opinion the men are old heads at the game. They 4faw their conclusions from the easy way in which the bandits worked and the way the robbery was planned. Brant complimented the crew on the “cool j work while under fire.” Conductor Al len is one of the oldest conductors on the Louisville & Nashville.
