Rootevelt Holds That Lynching For Any Crime is Subversive of All Law and Hust Be Suppressed. Oyster Bay, Special.?In a letter, the publication of which was authorized, President Roosevelt commends Governor Durbin, of Indiana, for the attitude he assumed recently respecting lynching. The President also embraces the opportunity to express his own views on lynching and mob violence generally, pointing out that mob violence is merely one form of anarchy and that anarchy is the forerunner of tyranny. The President vigorously urges that the penalty for that crime which most frequently induces a resort to lynching shall be applied swiftly and surely, but by due process of the courts, so that it may * * A A ? J "i ?<?* V? Innr Jo O f\O. oe aemonsirauru ujtu. uc ian .a quate to deal with crime by freeing it from every vestige of -technicality and delay." President Roosevelt's letter in full to Governor Durbin follows : "Oyster Bay. August 6. 1903. 'Governor Durbin: Permit me to thank you as an American citizen for the admirable way in which you have vindicated the majesty of the law by your recent actiorl in reference to lynching. I feel, my dear sir. that you have made all men your debtors who believe as all of the far-seeing men must, that the well-being, indeed, the very existence of the republic, depends upon that spirit of orderly liberty under the law which is as incompatible with mob violence as with any form of despotism. Of course mob violence is simply one form of anarchy, and anarchy is now. as it always has been, the handmaiden and forerunner of tyranny. "I feel that you, have not only reflected honor upon the State which for its good fortune has you as its Chief Executive, but upon the whole nation. It is incumbent upon every man throughout this country not only tr. hnid nn vonr hands in the course you have been following, but to show his realization that the matter is one of vital concern to us all. "All thoughtful men must feel the gravest alarm over the growth of lynching in this country and especially over the peculiarly hideous forms so often taken by mob violence when colored men are the victims, on which occasions the mob seems to lay most weight, not on the crime, but on the color of the criminal. In a certain proportion of these cases the man lynched has been guilty of a crime horrible beyond description, a crime so horrible that as far as he himself is concerned he has for feited the right to any kind or sympathy whatsoever. The feeling of all good citizens that such a hideous crime shall not be hideously punished by mob violence is due not in the least to sympathy for the criminal, but to a lively sense of the train of dreadful consequences which follow the course taken by the mob in exacting inhuman vengeance for an inhuman wrong. In such cases, moreover. it is well to remember that the criminal not merely sins against humanity in inexplicable and unpardonable fashion, but sins particularly against his own race, and does them a wrong far greater than any white man can possibly do to them. Therefore. in such cases the colored people throughout the land should in every possible way show their belief that they, more than all others in the community. are horrified at the commission of such a crime and are peculiarly concerned in taking every f a If 3 rA putil UiC 1UCIUUIC W |/iv>vu. IW currence and to bring the criminal to immediate justice. The slightest lack of vigor either in denunciation of the crime or in bringing the criminal to justice is itself unpardonable. "Moreover, every effort should be made under the law to expedite tne proceedings of justice in the case of such an awful crime. But it cannot be necessary, in order to accomplish this, to deprive any citizen of those fundamental rights to be heard in his own defense, which are so dear to us all and which lie at the root of our liberty. It certainly ought to be possible by the proper administration of the laws to secure swift vengeance upon the criminal, and the best and immediate efforts of all legislators. Judges and citizens should be addressed to securing auch reforms in our legal procedure as to leave no vestige of excuse for those misguided nn/iortoifo tr? rp*n voneo ance through violent methods. "Men who have been guilty of a crime like rape or murder should be visited with swift and certain punishment, and the just effort made by the courts to protect them in their rights should under no circumstances be perverted into permitting any mere technicality to avert or delay their punishment. The substantial rights of the prisoner to a fair trial of course must be guaranteed, as you have so justly insisted that they should be, but, subject to this guarantee?the law must work swiftly and surely, and all agents of the law should realize the wrong they do when they permit - * ' 11 justice to oe aeiayea or mwuneu iui technical or insufficient reasons. We must show that the law is adequate to deal with crime by freeing it from every vestige of technicality and delay. "But the fullest recognition of the horror of the crime and the most com. plete lack at sympathy with the criminal cannot, in the least diminish our horror at the way in which it has become customary to avenge these crimes and at the consequences that are already proceeding therefrom. It is, of course, inevitable that where vengeance is taken by a mob it should ft tM?? r fV A fVT^ A ^ It T I frequently light on innocent people, and the wrong done in such case to the individual is one for which there is no remedy. But even where the real criminal is reached the wrong done by the mob to the community itself is well-nigh as great. Especially ' ? '? ?'? A ntUftHA V? /-? Irnohina i a an. 1S> llliS 11 U?: nilCK V4JV i;uvu.?.a ?o MV companied with torture. There are certain hideous sights which once seen can never be wbojly erased from the mental retina. The mere fact of having seen them implies degradation. This is a thousand fold stronger when, instead of merely seeing the deed, the man has participated in it. Whoever ir. any part of our country has ever taken part in lawlessly putting to death a criminal by the dreadful torture of fire, must forever after have the awful spectacle of his own handwork seared into his brain and soul. He can never again be the same man. This matter of lynching would be a terrible thing even if it stopped with the lynching of men guilty of the inhuman and hideous crime of rape; but as a matter of fact, lawlessness of this type never does stop and never can stop in such fashion. Every violent man In the community is encouraged by every case of lynching in which the lynchers go unpunished to himself take the law into his own hands whenever it suits his own convenience. In the same way the use of torture by the mob in certain cases is sure to spread until it is applied more 0! less indiscriminately In other cases. The spirit of lawlessness grows with what it feeds on. and when mobs with impunity lynch criminals ror one cause, they are certain to begin to lynch real or alleged criminals for ether causes. In the recent cases of lynching over three-fourths were not for rape at all. but for murder, attempted murder and even less heinous offenses. Moreover, the history of these recent cases shows the awful fact that when the minds of men are habituated to the use of torture by lawless bodies to avenge crimes of a peculiarly revolting description, other lawless bodies will use force to accomplish crimes cf an ordinary type. Surely no patriot can fail to sec the fea-ful brutalizatiou and debasement which the indulgence of such a spirit and such practices inevitably portend. Surely ail public men. all writers for the daily press, all clergymen, all teachers, all who in any way have a right to address the public should with every energy unite to denounce such crimes and to support those engaged in putting them down. As a people we claim the right to speak with peculiar emphasis for freedom and for fair treatment of all men without regard to differences of race, fortune, erred nr color. We forfeit the right to speak when we commit or condone such crimes as these of which I speak. "The nation, like the individual, cannot commit a crime with impunity. If wr are guilty of lawlessness and brutal violence, whether our guilt consist in active participation therein, or in mere connivance and encouragement, we shall assnredly suffer later on because of what we have done. The corner-stone of this republic, as of all free governments, is respect for and obedience of the law. Where we permit the law to be defied or evaded, whether by rich man or poor man, by black man or white, we are by just so much weakening the bonds of our civilization and increasing the chances of its overthrow and of the substitution therefor of a system in which there shall be violent alternations of anarchy ana tyranny.

Special.?The Colitna volcano continues in a violent slate of activity. The eruption Saturday was the most severe that has yet been known. Great -clouds of smoke poured from the crater, but no ashes fell. Eonrthquake shocks extending along the coast as far south as the isthmus are reported. At some points the shock was oscillatory, while at others they were of a trepidatory character. No damages or casualties are reported. Textile Strike Ended. Philadelphia, Special.?The textile strike in this city, which was inaugurated ten weeks ago, was Saturday afternoon practically declared off, 20,000 of the strikers through their executive board deciding to return to work on Monday. It is estimated that about 60,000 textile strikers are still on strike and the determination of onethird of these to return to work, it is believed will force the collapse of the strike. The Amaxeur Philosopher. "Men boast of their superiority," said a Chicago doctor who has a weakness for philosophizing, "taking it for granted that they are far in advance of all other things that live here on earth. It is true that they have some wonderful achievements to their credit, but did you ever see a horse, for instance, that was cross-eyed? Compare the number of deformities among children with those of youug 1 animals and you will find that among | all the horses, cattle, sheep, hogs, dogs, cats and everything else belonging to the animal world, there are nowhere near as many congenial deformities as among people. This undoubtedly is due to the fact that the animals live more nearly as nature intended them to than we do. But we musn't find fault. Think of the specialists who would be working as day laborers if every child came into the world perfect. And our tailors and dressmakers would all be forced out of business if nobody had defects to hide.

INtW FUPt UUti II> Pius Tenth Now Wears the Famous Triple Tiara THOUSANDS WITNESS CEREMONIES riultitudes Stood For Ten Hours on Their Feet to Get a Glimpse of the New Pontiff. Rome, By Cable.?The ceremony of the coronation of Pope Pius X took place in the basilica of St. Peter's, in the presence of the princes and high rHonitarioe nf thr> Church dinlnmatS and Roman nobles, and with, all the solemnity and splendor associated with this, the most magnificent rite in the Roman Catholic Church. As Cardinal Macchi, the dean of the cardinal deacons. placed the triple crown on the head of the venerable Pontiff,the throng of 70,000 persons gathered within the cathedral burst into unrestrained acclamations. the choir into a hymn of triumph and the bells of Rome rang out a joyful peal. It is 57 years since the Romans and Europe assisted at 6uch a function, in St. Peter's. The great basilica, popularly supposed never to have been quite full, was overflowing. A bewildering mixture of gold, red and silver was ora/.*o/1 lr? frnnf nf oHor P/>nfrorv to custom on these ceremonious occasions there were no galleries and the basilica bore more of its normal aspect. On the altar, which was dressed in white, stood the famous silver gilt candlesticks and a magnificent crucifix. All the available standing space within the cathedral was divided into sections by wooden barriers, which, to a certain extent, kept the vast crowd in order, A thick fog overhung Rome in the early hours, but the sun came out later end it was unbearablely hot. At 6 a. m., the ringing of bells announced the imminent opening of the church doors and a commotion at once began among the crowd. But ten minutes had to elapse before the doors opened and each seemed a century to the waiting crowd which for hours had been standing before the closed portals. The police and Italian soldiers had a difficult task, to maintain order. When the doors were opened the rush in was terrific. Many who started from the bottom of the steps outside were lifted off their feet and carried into the eathedral. It was a great human torrent let loose. The compactness of the | crowa provea to oe ine saiety 01 uioee who were caught in it. Women fainted in comparatively large numbers and even men were overcome by the heat, but no serious accidents were reported. Fortunately, there were few children present. After their entrance the people had further long hours of waiting and it is computed that the majority were on their feet together ten hours, five before the ceremony and another five while it lasted. Those who had received special invitations, including the high ecclesiastics who were not participating in the procession, the diplomats and the Roman aristocracy, had a reserved entrance through the sacristy of St. Peter's. Prince Massino arrived accompanied by his daughter-in-law, Princess Beatrice, the daughter of Don Carlos, and they were given prominent seats. Duke Robert of Parma was the only other member of the royal family to attend. Among the aristocracy there was a great mixture of those Roman nobles who remain faithful to the papacy and those adherine to the Quirinal. Sir Thomas Esmonde, representing the ! Irish parliamentary party, was received by two Knights of the Cape and Sword, one F. McNutt, an American, and conducted to the diplomatic enclosure. After the preliminary ceremonies, which were grand beyond description, the triple tiara was carried before the new Pope with appropriate remarks in latin. Cardinal Deacon Segna then raised the Pontiffs mitre and Senior Cardinal Deason Macchi placed on the venerable white head the triple crown. At this moment the church was filled with the ringing of bells, the blowing of silver trumpets, the triumphant strains of the choir and the acclamations of the multitude, which no longer could be repressed. When comparative silence had been restored, Cardinal Macchi addressed the Pope in Latin as follows: "Receive the tiara ornamented with three crowns. Remember thou art the father of Princes and Kings, the rector of the world, the vicar on earth of our Sivior, Jesus Christ, who is tne nonor ana glory of all centuries." "Amen! Amen!" again burst forth from the concourse. Pope Pins was quite overcome and had scarcely strength left to imparl the apostolic benediction. Cardinals Macchi and Sagna granted a plenary indulgence to all present and the procession then re-formed and left the basilica in the same form as it came. The Pope was visibly fatigued. Strong as the Pope is physically, he supported the ordeal of his coronation today perhaps with less fortitude than did Leo XIII when he was crowned, although the latter was merely a shadow of a man. This evening when the Pontiff received the Duke of Parma he said to him: "Not counting the election, today was the most tremendous experience of my life. I must find a way to stop the noise in the Church. It is an offense against religion." Legislator Assaulted. Atlanta, Special.?Representative C. C. Houston, of Fulton, was assaulted in the street here Saturday by J. J. Spalding, an Atlanta Lawyer, who struck Houston on the head twice with, a heavy cane before bystanders inter.' fcred.
