..That is the idea, exactly" said
Davies, "Corbett is on the stage now,

Davies proceeded to pick flaws with

Says jackson is a Coward.

flight under the auspices of the Sioux
lefty Athletic club next year. He ex
pressed his hearty disgust at Jackson's
factions, and reiterated his oft-repeated.
view of the colored mans fear to fight
him. Corbett insisted that Jackson's
objections to those portions of the ar

test was very trivial and ought to have
no consideration in the minds of the

There was no certainty regarding the

now after, he said, was to secure his
l$10 900 deposited in Chicago, and then
get out of the country.
VIII you accommodate Jackson by
agreeing to fight him within three
months as he desires?" the reporter
asked.
Certainly. I will fight him in three
months or in two weeks or even tomor-
row if it were possible replied Cor
lbett. But what is the use of saying
THAT, for Jackson knows the Sioux City
lclub can't make arrangements to pull
off the fight in that time. First, Jackson
said he would not fight me in the south.

flight in the north, he shows his unwill-

Romero no sooner learned OF her
friendship for Verastgui. than he
warned him against calling again.

THEY WORE WHITE RIBBONS.
Railroad Strikers Recognized in the


Chicago, Ills, Sept, lin the Debs
case today the first witness called was
General Superintendent Dunlap, Of the
Rock Island railroad, who gave an eX-
haustive history of the strike as it
affected his road. He said that many
mail trains were stopped, the men be-
ing intimidated He said that many
of the members of the mob wore white
ribbons. He recognized some of the
rioters as ex-employees Of the Rock
Island. Mr.. Dunlap said he had had
much experience in railroad strikes
and never knew of a strike which did
not result in trouble and violence.
Throughout the day the attorneys for
the defense continued to object to the
evidence as introduced by the govern
ment, and for some unknown reason
Judge Wood sustained them much
l'oftener than he did during the earlier
days Of the trial.
In ALL thirteen witnesses testified for
the government during the day, most
Of the evidence adduced dealing with
scenes of violence in and about the city
during the strike.
During the afternoon the counsel got
down to the actual work of connecting
Mr.. Dehs ard his associates in the
deeds of violence by introducing the
messenger boys who delivered tele-
grams previously put in evidence, at
the offices of the American Railway
union.
In nearly all cases the messages were
all signed by the doorkeeper or Mr..
Benedict, typewriter for the American
Railway union. In one of the cases one
of the boys said he had delivered tele-
grams to Mr.. Debs, personally, and
he had. receipted for them.
]. n. Scales, general superintendent
of the Mobile & Ohio road, another
witness, identified the Geographic cor
respondence which he had with Debs
regarding the raising of the boycott on
his road. He had wired Debs in the
first place telling him the Mobile &
Ohio road run Pullman cars and re-
questing him to do what lay in his
power to prevent the strike.
The next telegram bore the name of
Debs and asked if the Mobile & Ohio
road belonged to the General Managers
association.
Immediately upon Mr.. Scales as
surance by wire that it did not, a tele-
gram was sent asking Mr.. Scales to call
on Mr.. Dwyer, the local representative
, of the American Railway union, and
make arrangements with him regarding
the calling off of the strike. This Mr.
Scales testified he did and read the
agreement made between him and
Dwyer. The kilograms were all placed
in evidence. One of the attorneys for
the government said if the kilograms
could be traced to Debs in this case
his directing hand in the strike would
be positively established. Adjourned

THEY SHOULD STAY AT HOME.
Governor Northern's Opinion of the
Frying Englishmen-They Have
Troubles Enough of Their Own
Across the Pond


Savannah, Ca, Sept. lin reply to
a telegram from the New York World,
asking his opinion about the coming of
a committee of Englishmen to investi-
gate the lynchings in the south, Gov
ernor Northern wired as follows:
1.-THE people of this state are quite
able to administer their own affairs
and they are doing it in full justice to
the nero, as our laws and our con-
duct attest. We have already endured
more outside interference in our local
tolerate in the future. Let these kind
ly-disposed Englishmen return to their
own country and prevent, by law, the
inhuman sale of virtuous girls to lust
full men in high places; hang all such
demons as Jack the Ripper; punish as
it deserves the barbarous wholesale
slaughter of negroes in Africa by Eng
lishmen, who go there to steal their
gold; supply the necessities to prevent
bread and labor riots and strikes, which
are wholly unknown to the south; feed
and give employment to the poor as do
the people of my section; give to the
oppressed Irishmen the rights humanity
demands, and when they shall have
pulled the beam out of their own eyes
they may, with better grace, appoint
themselves committee to hunt for the
mote that may be in our eyes. While
we have Irregularities at the south, and
negroes are sometimes lynched, they
are never slaughtered by wholesale as
Englishmen sometimes destroy them. I
send you by mail the law and record
on these matters, and / challenge not
only the English committee on lynch
ings at the south, but l challenge the
civilized world to find a better. Why
come as an investigation to denounce
the south just prior to congressional
elections, when we have just had a
negro lynched in Kansas, April 2. and
another in Ohio on the Sabbath on
April 10, and when the white Poles and
Hungarians have recently been
butchered in Pennsylvania and negroes
run out of Franklin park, N. j., in
herds. We challenge Investigations by
all persons who have the right to in
vestigate these charges, but any at
temptupon the part of English tainted
by their own national crimes to arraign
us for trial must be considered as a
gross impertinence.
