[Five White Women Were Assaulted
in One D3y.
WORST RACE RIOT FOR YEARS
I
Militia and the Fire Department Succeeded
in Restraining the People
? Negroes Fled and Remained
in Hiding.
Atlanta, Ga.?As an outgrowth of
ive separate assaultsby negross upon
white women in Atlanta the negro
luarters of the city were attacked by
ihfuriated mobs of whites and from
ft
ten to twenty blacks were killed and
l large number unmercifully beaten.
Neeroes were attacked wherever
Tound. They were pulled from street
ears and from every public place
where they sought refuge in their
ierror, and beaten and kicked without
mercy.
The attacks were particularly
flerce in Decatur street, which is esj
pecially frequented by negroes.
The Fire Department was called
Out to supplement the efforts of the
police to control or suppress the mob,
and in some instances powerful
s, streams of water from the hose
:'v proved more efficacious than police
:lubs.
Negroes fled in every direction,
each pursued by a separate mob.
There were no leaders. The whole
ihing was spontaneous.
The assaults on white women
which provoked the emute were all
within the city limits.
Mrs. F. Arnold was attacked in the
yard of her home in the western part
ot the city at 7 o'clock and escaped
by screaming for help. The negro
escaped. A suspect was arrested and
taken to police headquarters, followed
by a threatening crowd.
Mrs. Chaffin, living near the Soldiers'
Home, was attacked in a similar
manner in the afternoon. Seven
similar attacks on white
women by negroes have occurred in
f nne week in or close to Atlanta.
R After the mob had finished its
Work It was discovered that an inno?
sent man had been done to death.
Two negroes had beeu arrested on
Buspicion of being concerned in the
>< assault on Mrs. Arnold. The woman
v could not identify either of them, but
said she thought one who called himself
Jack Murray was the man. She
i made no charge against Henry Moore,
|:V. the other negro.
The officers started to jail with
both negroes, but on the way Jack
Murray, who was suspected by Mrs.
Arnold, escaped. The officers continued
with Henry Moore. On Marietta
jtreet some one raised the cry that
[.' the officers had Mrs. Arnold's assailj
jmt. Almost instantly a crowd sur&;
'founded the officers, took the negro
and riddled him. The tragedy was
k witnessed by many people, among
p them children playing in the street.
| ..." Governor Terrell having placed the
| city practically under martial law
k- there was no general resumption next
day of negro hunting by white mobs,
r, wnicn, accoraing to me latest repuris,
resulted, the day before in the death
t of twelve negroes and two whites
and the wounding of fully 100 negroes
and^ialf as many whites.
It was 4 o'clock a. m. before a
semblance of order was restored in
v the city. At 2 o'clock Governor Terrell
ordered out all the State troops
tn the city and placed them in charge
of Colonel Clifford Anderson. As
soon as Colonel Anderson could get
into touch with his subordinates he
| distributed squads over the city, placr
Ing them at strategic points, and ij.
? A short while the situation was greatly
improved.
A heavy rain, which began : t 3
o'clock and continued for nearly two
tours, was probably more effective
in, subduing the mob and sending its
members to cover than even the presence
of the State troops.'
The presence of a thousand solonoftoroH
nror AHonfa in annnHc
* ranging from twelve to fifty, according
to the importance of the location,
& ' %ave the city a militar;' air that it
has worn on no Sabbath since Shert
man was thundering at its gates back
jT in the '60s.
Despite the nevelopments the negroes
are still impudent, and talk of
resisting. Many of them are arming.
,The latest report is that another
white woman has been assaulted, but
such is tht stat.e of affairs in Atlanta
? tb^t'no definite information is obtainable.
Many requests were made to Governor
Terrell to put the city under
martial law. He wrote out such a
K";- proclamation jyid showed it to those
jr.\ "asking the order. When the citiens
v; read it they declared it was not what
they wanted, as the order gave the
militia eutirely too much authority.
The negroes say th^y are afraid to
carry their dead to the local undertakers
for fear that the mob will at.
tack them.
' Two of the negroes killed were
> taken to the country for burial.
- ThelV relatives say they preferred to
rbury them awayjrom the city, where
thpre would be rto danger, and it is
< - - believed that in this way the negroes
ane getting rid of their dead. Secretive
under ordinary circumstances,
they are ten times more so in light of)
f the recent developments.
Seventeen companies oE National
Guards and a battery of artillery
finally managed to restore order to
the terrorized city, and peaceful citizens,
who deplored the work of the
Peasants Won't Pay Taxes.
. Owing to the unanimous and unal
__ terable refusal of the peasants in the
Odessa district in Russia to pay ar'rears
of taxes the Jocal zemsivo has
v .been notified that it is impossible to
maintain thp srhonls and hosnitals.
which must consequently be closed.
Dairy Products Lead.
Prices of commodities rose during
August in the aggregate, dairy and
garden products supplying most of
the advance.

King Alfonso of Spain signed the

States.

Ik
frenzied mobs, in attacking negroc-* J
breathed a sigh of relief. All night f
and far into the morning the mobs of
armed whites had chased the negroes
in every direction, shooting, slabbing I
and clubbing with a wantonness such j
as onlv mohs ran \'or wpcp
they content with the mere attacking
of defenseless and innocent negroes r
in their gory desire for revenge upon
those who had brutally attacked
white women in the past fortnight.
They went about town smashing windows
and destroying property, prob- g
ably carried away by excitement and
drink.
The clamoring mobs, swavins ?
through (he streets, making attacks
upon street cars, dragging negroes
from vehicles and chasing them into
the "Jim Crow" quarter, had kept
the city in an uproar ail through the
night, and the police were utterly
powerless. They were laughed at in g
their efforts to make arrests, and cit- i
izens who endeavored (o dissuade the I
crowds of angry men and boys were ' o
derided into silence. j G
Reports as to the number of killed | g
and injured vary, of course, but some
have it that at. least seventeen ne- 0
groe.* were killed. Other reports v.
have it that not more than ten fatali- p
ties occurred. In reality only four g
bodies have been found at local undertaking
establishments, but it is a
said that the negroes were so terrified ti
that they carried many of the bodies g
to the suburbs for interment. Fully w
forty blacks and whites are known g
to have been hurt.
A blank fare was a raritv in the i,
streets. Ordinarily one sees about r,
as many negroes as whites, but the ?
stern experience had its effect on the w
negroes r.r.d they remained at their j (_]
homes. Practically every home in i n
Atlanta lacked its servants, the ne- j g
groes being afraid to venture through j (_,
the streets to reach the places where i
they were employed. | q
' Women in Peachtre? street, the 0
fashionable residence part of the city, ! r
who have not touched a culinary t(
utensil in years prepared meal's for | j(
their families. The hotels were prac- i
tically without servants, and not a ; q
negro bootblack nor a newsboy was |
to be seen in the streets. j
Only once was the mob balked, and i C1
that was when one section of it was
raiding negro saloons and restaurants j S)
in Decatur street. A fire alarm was j r(
turned in and Chier Joiner, recently j
nominated for Mayor, came with ! ^
three engines. In a few minutes he p
had streams of water playing, and as |
soon as the water touched the mob it
dissolved. j t(
Finally rising to the situation, the i
entire fire department was called to j j-j
Prior and Decatur streets, in the ne- j
gro quarter, and with streams of
water playing ?in every direction the n
rioters were dispersed, to gather w
again at points out of reach of the n
water. The department remained on j
duty all night. I E
The bulk of the violence took place j s,
in the first two hours, much "of it in i n
thirty minutes. I e.
The mob afforded some curious sit- | sj
uations. In front of the postofflco i ^
Mormon missionaries were preaching q
brotherly love; less than 100 yards j ir
away two negroes were killed under j <p
the viaduct. A block further down j
Marietta street the Salvation Army I -n
was holding forth; near by a negro i Q
was stabbed to death, two more were j q
shot and others were fatally stabbed j a
or beaten. '
A meeting of prominent citizens fl
was held at the Piedmont Hotel to tj
informally discuss the riots. It was j p
decided that the situation did not de- j c,
mand any further action than the as- p
sembly of the militia. The burden of ! 0,
the majority of speakers was regret
that so much injury would be done I w
Atlanta by this outburst of race re- Dj
sentment.
ROBBERS WRECK WO BANKS, m
it
Awed Townsfolks and Got Away i ^
With Between $2000 and $4000. \\
Grand Rapids, Mich.?Eight burglars,
masked and armed, visited 111
White Cloud, a village forty-five j
miles north of here, and robbed the : T
Newyago County Bank. They at- i
tempted also to" rob the bank of R. ! n'
Gannon & Sou. The men rode into j
the town on horseback between 12 | *E
and 1 o'clpck a. m., surrounded the j
buildings containing the two banks, j G
and posted guards outside, while j L
other members of the cang worked i C
inside. j w
The interior of the Newyago Bank j G
was completely wrecked by two ex- ts
plosions. The burglars got between
$2000 and $4000 in cash. Dynamite 111
was then used to wreck the interior ra
of the Gannon Bank, but while the tt
thieves were at work the townspeo- ni
pie, awakened by the explosion, gath- I ti
ered in such numbers that the guards | w
evidently decided it was not prudent ! oi
to wait longer.
They called out the man working | fc
in the bank before they could get |
the safe open, and. covering^ the citi- i oi
zens with their pistols, rod<5 out of j
town. I B

Corners Jennie Burch, the dead
child's fourteen - year - old nurse,
threw herself across the open casket
and cried out:
"Oh. ray God! I cannot keep it.
I killed hitn. I poisoned Willie. '
The girl then fell to the floor in a
swoou. as the mother of the little victim
rushed forward, shrieking execrations
at the unconscious figure.
During the excitement Coroner
Mitchell took the girl away, and once
outside the house a detective hurried
her to a place of safety, as there were
cries of "Lynch her! Kill her!" from
some of the younger men among the
mourners. She was later placed in
a carriage and hurried to the White
Plains jail, the Coroner being afraid
to put her in the Putnam County institution.

She was not suspected of the poisoning.
which was believed to have
been accidental.

dozen or more deaths within a day or
two, the mobs ran riot again.
The trouble be^an in Pittsburg,
the negro settlement in the southern
part of the city. The blacks themselves
opened hostilities this time,

iong and earnest discussion during
which the father, who returned here

MUM BUFFALO:
Nominated For Governor of New
York on First Ballot
BITTER FIGHT IN CONVENTION
Hearst Had 309 Ballots to 121 For
Sulzer ? Lewis S. Chanler For
Lieutenant-Governor ? Contests
Decided For Hearst.
Buffalo. N. Y.?After as protracted
and at times exciting a convention as
the Democracy of this State ever
held. William Randolph Hearst was
nominated for Governor at 2 o'clock
in the morning. It was a surprising
assemblage, totally unlike the usual
convention of Democrats.
Although Hearst's majority was
overwhelming, the bitterness with
which he was opposed to the last developed
a situation more tense than
has ever been witnessed in any convention
in the political history of this
State.
The final overthrow of his opponents
came in the evening when the
delegation from Manhattan and the
Bronx went into caucus, and by a
vote of sixty-three to thirty-sk determined
to support Mr. Hearst and
apply unit rule, tnis giving mm tne
entire 105 delegates.
The nomination was made on the
first ballot. Hearst had 309 votes,
William Sulzer 124 ?.nd John H. Dix
seventeen.
The voting for Governor began at
1.45 a. m. Albany County led off
with nine votes for Hearst.
Tammany cast ninety-six votes for
Hearst and nine for Sulzer.. Kings
cast sixty-nine votes for Sulzer.
When Onondaga County had been
reached on the roll call Hearst had
already received 229 votes, or three
more than necessary for a nomination.
The announcement of the Hearst
vote was received with a great cheer,
which was quickly hushed, however,
to hear the vote on the other candidates.
At 1.5 D a. m. Chairman Nixon declared
William Randolph Hearst officially
the candidate of the Democratic
party for Governor.
Lewis Stuyvesant Chanler, of
Dutchess, was nominated for Lieutenant-Governor.
John S. VVhalen, of Monroe, was
chosen unanimously for Secretary of
State.
Martin H. Glynn, of Albany, was
unanimously chosen for State Controller.
William Schuyler Jackson, of Buffalo,
was unanimously chosen for
Attorney-General.
For State Treasurer Julius Hauser,
of Suffolk, was unanimously chosen.
Frederick W. Skene, of Queens,
was unanimously chosen for State
Engineer and Surveyor, completing
the nominations.
Chairman Lewis Nixon called the
convention to order at 7.55 p. m.
The hall was packed, every available
foot of seating or standing space being
occupied. All sorts of subterfuges
were resorted to by outsiders
to get a seat on the platform.
Lewis Nixon was temporary and
permanent chairman. Senator T. F.
Grady was the chairman of the Committee
on Contested Seats. Bourke
Cockran drew up the platform.
The platform was unanimously
adopted.
The convention did not meet for
business until about 8.30 o'clock p.
m., aud its early hours were ^aken
up with a debate on throwing out of
the anti-Hearst delegations.
On the question of substituting the
minority report for that of the majority
a roll call was demanded by
Stanchfield. This vote was regarded
as a test of the Hearst strength.
Kings County cast sixty-nine vote3
I for the substitution of the minority
report. This showed Senator McCarren
opposed to Hearst. Murphy
cast ninety-three votes "No," and the
motion was lost by a vote of 244 to
142. This forecasted the nomination
of Hearst, and there was a storm of
cheers.
When nominations were called foi
William V. Cook, of Albany, present
ed the name ot William K. Hearst.
Allegany County seconded Mr. Hearst
and Broome County named Congressman
Sulzer, sending George Raiues,
of Monroe, to the stage to make the
nominating speech, amid cheering
The cheering for Sulzer continued
for several minutes, many of the
delegates standing on the chairs and
calling loudly 'Sulzer."
Thomas M. Osborne, of Cayuga
County, one of the originators of the
Albany conference of anti-Hearst
Democrats, took the platform at
12.20 a. m. and placed iu nomination
John A. Dix, of Washington County
a nephew of the late Governor Die.
of New York.
At 1.45 the nominations for Gov
ernor were declared closed and the
secretary began ta call the roll ot
counties for their votes. .

Veteran Reformer Says Wishes

AYlUSCUVV, nuoaia. a*l.
veteran reformer, who declined} a
portfolio in the Stolypin cabinet, in
an interview said:
"The chasm between the people
and the Government is now almost
impossible to bridge. The ruling
beaureaucracy is bending every resource
of the empire to the task of
defeating the wishes of the people.
The suspension of justice, ruthless
punitive expeditions and the suppression
of political parties form a .
damning contrast to the promises of
reform. Even were the promises
sincere and the reforms veal the
people could not accept them at the
hands of distrusted rulers.
"There must be a change in the
Ministry, and Parliament must be
reconvoked forthwith. The majority
would then be composed of Moderates,
and as the process of revolutionizing
will be arrested as soon as
the people are assured that their
struggle for elementary political liberties
will be crowned with success
the old regime will be irrevocably
dead and a relapse will be impossible.
,
"The present regime is rapidly .
revolutionizing and demoralizing
the country. The prevailing spirit is
appalling. Daily bloodshed is a matter
of indifference, and political

pie is disappearing and ultimate
right and wrong are ignored. Russia
Is sinking into barbarism without
moral regeneration. She is '
doomed."
IDE'S FARWELL TO PHILIPPINES.
Predicts That a Native Assembly Can
Meet in Safety in 1907.
Manila.?In about forty decorated
launches, with bands playing, Governor-General
Smith and the members
of the Philippine Commission escorted
the retiring Governor-General,
Henry C. Ide, to the steamship which
is to carry him to the United States.
In departing he gave this as his last
message:
"I believe that a Philippine Assembly
can meet in 1907 with perfect
safety, and with the great probability
that it will furnish information upon
the real needs of the country and be
a useful aid to legislation, if properly
managed.
"I cannot find words to express my
gratitude for the numerous testimonials
of esteem I have received from
all classes, American and Filipino. I
leave regretfully."

The Dazzling Standard Oil.
The magnificence of Standard 0|l
dividends makes the average man
gasp. In eight years that company
has paid to its shareholders $332,000,000,
or more than three times
the amount of the par value of its
capital. It- is the popular belief,
which is also the probable faot, that
the great Rockefeller group acquired
its ownership of th& stock at .relatively
small figures. These men organized
the company, nursed it in
Infancy, and now it has become the
giantess that plays mother to a big
brood of subordinate oil trusts
around the world.
The recent riot3 in Southern Russia
stilled the petroleum industry
there and brought a profitable grist
to Statfdard Oil. It was the only
concern on earth that could supply
all the petroleum required. An increased
demand, accompanied by the
inevitable higher price during the
past couple of years, has steadily
enriched this greatest American
trust. '
While the venerable Croesus who
is president of the mighty Standard
Oil is reputed to be dodging process
servers, his millions in dividends roll
into his coffers and add to his laurels
as the "richest man who ever, lived."

THE WAY OUT
Change of Food Brought Success and
Happiness.
An ambitious but delicate .girl,
after failing to go through school on
account of nervousness and hysteria^
found in Grape-Nuts the only thing
that seemed to build her up and furn'Vj.
her the peace of health. ,
"From infancy," she says, "I have
not been strong. Being ambitious to
learn at any cost I finally got to the
High School, but soon had to abandon
my studies on account of nervouB
prostration and hysteria.
"My food did not agree with me, .1
grew thin and despondent. I could
not enjoy the simplest social affair
for I suffered constantly from nervousness
in spite of all sorts of zr.edlcinea.
"inis wr' rngu cuuuiuuu ^uuliuued
until I was twenty-five, when I
became interested in the letters of
those who had cases like mine md
who were being cured by eating
Grape-Nuts.
"I had iittle faith hut procured a
box and after the first dish I experienced
a peculiar satisfied feeling
that I had never ;ained from any
ordinary food. I slept and rested
better that night and in a few days
began to grow stronger.
"I had a new feeling of peace and I
restfulness. In a few weeks, to my 1
great joy, the headaches and 'nervousness
left me and life became
bright and hopeful. I resumed my
studies and later taught ten months
with ease?of course using GrapeNuts
every day. It is now four years
since I began to use Grape-Nuts, I
am the mistress of a happy home and
the old weakness has never returned."
