JUDGE BEATS UP WHITE MAN
WHO STIRS UP BLACKS
Texans, After Beating Secretary of
Negro Association, iDriYes Him Out
of Town.. 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

seen driving In an. automobile near the

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. He lives
In Nashville. .

S OME Thornhill owner* constantly
comment , on the ease with which the
wagon can be “backed up.” This is due
to the full circle iron. The ordinary circle is butt
half circle ( vj ). In making a sharp turn bolsters
often run to the end of the track and become
“derailed.” Thornhills cannot do this because
their track is a circle ( O )•
Others comment on the fact that in spite of tre
mendous overloads, Thornhill axles never break.
The reason for this is plain. They use tough
highland hickory—reinforced by a steel truss bar
that extends the full length of the
*
Still others comment that the gears never get out
of line. This unusual feature is due to one of
their workmen's inventions. He designed a malle
able front houpd plate—bolted to the gears at
that relieves die king bolt of strain.
To others the amazing feature is the long life of
Thornhill beds—due to their location which gives
them die pick of the yearly cutting of wood and
eight points. It's literally a jacket of iron that < due, in part, to the fact that they paint with pure
light running for life. / lead and linseed‘oil despite its high cost

From hilly sections come reports that die old
trouble of broken king bolts is unknown among
owners of Thornhill wagons. This because

unusual strength where they are accustomed to
