of suppressing the White Caps, which are
spreading terror in these counties Gen.
Watson met Prosecuting Attorney S. "
Pearson, of Brown county at the Gibson

with him.
A representative OF the press was present

Gen. Watson said:
The state intends to use all its power to
suppress these so-called White Caps. The
governor is fully determined upon tnis, and
we do not intend to permit these out.
RACES to continue, TO the disgrace of the
state and injury to the good name Of our
citizens
That much you can say most emphat-
ically," said the attorney general to the re-
porter. 'We do not Intend to permit these
outlaws to go on as they have in Indiana un.
til they bring the state authorities into con
tempt"
"How will you prevent itr"
I'VE have not arrived at a positive conclu-
sion yet. The state certainly has the power
to protect its citizsns and preserve order, and
will use it. The measures we shall take will
probably be determined upon to-day, and as
much as We deem prudent will be given to
the public"
"These White Caps can be dealt with un-
der the Ku. Klux law, can they notp'
Yes, but do not want to say anything
about that. The Ku-Klux act can only be
enforced BY the United States authorities II

alarm and uneasiness in the county, and that
the case was difficult one to handle.
"What class Of citizens do you think the
White Caps belong tog'
II cannot say they belong to what people
call the best class, but they are men who
have been engaged as sewing machine
agents, feather cleaners and others whose
business takes them all over the country.
They are of the same class who ten years ago
were known as Regulators
There was at that time great deal OF
petty thieving in the county One or two
persons were whipped by the Regulators
there was much excitement for time, the
thieving stopped, and there was no more of
it, think great Geal of this White Cap
business is the result of talk and undue
excitement; but the excitement exists, all
the same, and there is much real disorder
and cause for alarm"
