UNWARRANTED FRIGHT
NO REAL DANGER OF RACE WAR
At MAYFIELD, Ky.
Another Negro Put to Death by the
scnre-l Whites-Governor Brad
ley Bitter Against Mob Rule.

MAYFIELD. KY. Dec. 23-There is still
considerable excitement here, growing out
of the lynching of Jim Stone, the negro
ravisher. Monday. and the burning yester-
day of number of negro resorts. The mob
claimed it's second victim early this morn
ing in the person of Will Snett, colored
aged eighteen years. The shooting was the
result of last nights furry, caused by wild
reports of threatened attack by negroes
bent upon avenging Stones death. 1t was
said that bands OF negroes were arming
at Clay station, near here. and that they
would be reinforced by others of their race
from Fulton and other neighboring towns
This caused alarm here. and Mayor White
more took the precaution to arm a large
number of citizens. who patroled the
streets all night. At an early hour i'm the
morning Snett and two companions were
a suspicious manner. They ran on the ap-
pearance of officers and Snett was shot
down.
The report of onslaught by vengeful
negroes seem to have been greatly eXagger-
ated, ard while things have not assumed
their normal condition tonight nothing
like race war is believed to be probable
Offers of assistance if needed from the
whites at Fulton, Paducah and many other
neighboring towns were received at the
first outbreak of the trouble, but no aid
has been asked.
The citizens of Mayfeld held a meeting
this afternoon and denounced the recent
work of the mob and called upon the au-
thorities TO prevent further violence. AT II
o'clock tonight everything is quiet.
The outbreak threatened and real be-
tween the whites and negroes was bad
enough but the feeling here is that ii
has been somewhat exaggerated. The con-
fiict at first and. indeed. all through. has
not been between whites and negroes as
negroes indiscriminately. 1t was a war

class of blacks who were demOralZing the

monious meeting and it's voice was unani-

the seditious element. Speeches were made
by both blacks and whites. Conciliatory
measures were counseled. but at the same

measures was advised. large number of

resolutions on the other side. but one can
gather men together in advocacy of any
cause and get signatures TO almost any
kind OF petition. My contention Is that the
business men and thinking men OF the
country are opposed TO any step which Is
liable 10 plunge the country into war. In
my own State, for instance. there is only
one prominent newspaper which advocates
the course advised by the Senate committee
on foreign relations.
We have just gone through a campaign
in which We have promised peace TO the
country. Is IL consistent 10 present the ln-
coming administration with war on the
threshold Of its existence? True. there Is
an undeniable condition of affairs in CUBA,
but l believe the reports are exaggerated.
At any rate, il Is true that however cruel

TILDEN WILL DECISION.
Certain Trusts Created by the Late
millionaire Declared Invalid.

NEW YORK, Dec. 23-Certain trusts un-
der the will of the late Samuel j. Tildeu
were to-day declared invalid by the Su-
preme Court. The suit in which the deci
sion was rendered was brought by the ex-
ecutors under the will. who asked for a con-
struction of certain clauses in the will A
decision was some time since rendered by
the Court of Appeals. by which the residu-
airy trust was declared illegal Mrs. Peton,
the sister of the testator, then handed over
the greater portion of her share to the
founding of the Tilden Library. i'm this city,
and contingent fund of 100000 was Gre
ated to carry out Clauses 81 and "a of the
will, which dealt with the establishment of
free libraries at New Lebanon and Yonk-
ers, 100000 having been left for these OBJ
jects. Both these trusts are declared to be
open to the fatal objection that they violate
the statute against perpetuation. Mrs
Laura p. Hazard, a granddaughter of Mrs
Pelton: the court says. is entitled to receive
the principal OF the trust fund which was
created for her grandmother OF $4,000, while
Adelaide Buchanan is to receive the princi-
pal OF the trust fund of $4,000 creared for
the benefit Of her mother. Lucy +. Tiiden.
With reference to the question as to
whether the trustees have the power TO
change the investment Of bonds valued at
Celeste Stauffer, of New Orleans. the court
holds that they have no sucn power. and
cannot make any change in the Investment
without the beneficiary's consent. AS the
scheme contemplated by the testator to es-
tablish a library in his city has failed the
trustees are accountable for the whole of
the residuary estate to the next of kin. The
heirs are. the court states, entitled to the
