IS IN FORSYTH JAIL.
LUKE RICHARDSON BROUGHT
HERE LAST NIGHT.
Transfer Ma de to Prevent the Lynch
Ing of the Negro Charged With an
Attempt to Assault a White
LADY in

Luke Richardson, the negro WHO
stands charged with attempting to
assault Miss Seifert, in Greensboro,
Sunday, is in Forsyth Jail.
He was brought here Monday night
by'Deputy Sheriff Davis, of Guilford.
A SENTINEL reporterhad an interview
with the officer shortly after his ar
rival. He said there was some private
talk in Greensboro about lynching
Richardson, but he did not believe
there would have been any trOuble.
However, Sheriff Hoskins deemed it
advisable to move him to Winston for
safe keeping.
Mr.. Davis got on the train with his
man at Greensboro some time before
, the hour for leaving. A large crowd
gathered around the train but no eff
fort was made to take him away from
the officer. The car door was locked
until just before the train left for
Winston. Richardson evidently an
ticipated some trouble as he laid
down on his seat and kept unusually
quiet.
Richardson was given preliminary
trial before the Mayor OF Greensboro
late Monday afternoon and bound
over to the Superior Court. Before
trial he claimed that he could prove
that he was an innocent man and
that he was at another place when
the attempted assault was made. But
this he failed to do.
Miss Seifert is confident that Rich
ardson is the right man. After his
arrest he was taken to the mayors
office, at the market house, while Miss
Seifert was summoned. In the mean
time four other cOlOred men, looking
somewhat like Richardson were also
taken into the room with him. Miss
Seifert arrived with her father and
was taken in the room. She looked
intently at the row of men and then
pointed out Richardson, but added as
she did so that the man who attempt
ed to assault her had on black SLOUGH
hat, while Richardson at this time
had on straw hat. She said she did
not feel like swearing to his identity
unless she could see him with the
SLOUGH hat on, though she had no diff
tlculty in picking him out, saying that
in every particular he filed the bill
except as to the hat.
Officer Davis says he has known
Richardson for two or three years.
He was on the county roads last
Spring, being sent there by magis-
trate for Shaping his wife. 1t is also
stated that he has been on the road
for larceny.
Mr.. Davis does not know how long
Richardson will be kept here. A sps-
cial term of court for Guilford opens
the first of August and it is thought
will be continued until the regular
term which is to convene the latter
part OF the month. The officer thinks
he will be tried at the regular term.
A number of people here were of
nni that crowd unnlA como
Monday night from Greensboro and
attempt to lynch the negro, but this
prediction was not realized. Parties
who were in Greensboro that night
say that Richardson could have been
taken from the officers before they
left Greensboro had there been de-
sire to lynch him

Attempted Assault-Talk of Lynch
ing the Scoundrel.
Greensboro is greatly stirred up
over an attempted assault upon Miss
Rosa Sifer, about O'Clock Monday
afternoon. in North Greensboro, by a
negro named Luke Richardson.
Miss Sifer is Is years old and is
type writer In the finishing mill own
ed by the Messrs. Cone. Her father
is foreman in the mill.
She was returning home from Sun
day School in South Greensboro when
the attempted assault was made.
While passing through a strip of
woods she met Richardson, who is
about 40 years old Miss Sifer
screamed so loud that the negro brute
became frightened and left before &C
complishing his purpose.
Miss Sifer's cries soon brought sew
eral friends to her rescue, but when
they arrived Richardson had fled.
Officers were soon on his track, how
ever, and forty minutes after the at
tempted assault Policeman Weather
ly captured the negro in piece OF
woods. OF course he denied the
charge against him, but Miss Sifer
said he was the guilty party as soon
as she saw him.
There is strong talk OF lynching the
scoundrel who attempted the assault.

The Tariff Debate-Senator Bacon's
Explanation.

By Telegraph to The Sentinel.
WASHINGTON, July 6 Without any
preliminary business, the Senate pro
ceeded today with the consideration
of the tariff bills Senator Bacon, OF
Georgia, made a personal explanation
OF his vote yesterday for the Mills
amendment to fix tax OF five per cent
on all manufactured products. He said
he had given the amendment his vote
without due deliberations; that il the
imposition Of such a tax be confined
to the sugar trust and other gigantic
concerns existing in open violation OF
the law, it would, upon meditation.
commend itself to his Judgment, but
as it would touch every village aud
hamlet in the land and lay its hand
upon the most humble. he frankly
avowed his regret for the vote cast
yesterday.
Senator Bate, of Pennsylvania, then
took the floor and delivered a set
speech against the bill.
The Republican Senators are in
caucus today to make the sugar

GREAT LABOR BATTLE
A HARD FOUGHT CONTEST An
TICIPATEO.
Talk of Arbitration-Coal Operators
VIII Meet Tomorrow to Take Ac-
tion-Justice of the Miners
Demands is Admitted.

By Telegraph to The Sentinel.
CHICAGO, July g.. Reports today
from the coal mining sections in H.
diana and Illinois indicate a strike
more extensive than was first prom
Used. President Knight, of the Indi-
ana Miners Association, sends word
from Terre Haute that practically all
Of the bockminers are out. He has
heard from nearly every section and
the men are unanimously in favor of
stopping work.
Indications are that the strike will
be the hardest fought labor battle
ever known in this section. The east
ern Illinois district will probably not
take action today, but the miners and
officers say they will quit work. As
usual, the Illinois mining troubles in
the Spring Valley District are the
first to become prominent. There is
much destruction and at Laid Big
Dagger the strikers today demanded
aid of the county.
A similar request is made from
other sections. Most of the miners
are foreigners and threaten trouble il
their demands are not complied with
in towns near Spring Valley. OF the
thirty mines near Springfield six are
now out The rest have decided to
the State. No work is going on to-
day.
TALK CT ARBITRATION.
WILMINGTON, Del, July 6-Col
W. H Rend of this city, who has num-
Der of miners in Ohio and Pennsyl-
Yania, and is member of the 'linois
State Board OF Arbitration, thinks
settlement by arbitration is p sSible
and will attempt to arrange confer
ence of mine owners and miners IN
ion. Col. Rend is urged do this by
many big Chicago corporations, whose
coal supply will not last more than
two weeks if the Illinois and Indiana
mines are closed.
QUIET IN WEST VIRGINIA
CHARLESTON, w. Va, July g.
Chief Nine Inspector Hull, who has
been keeping in touch with the coal
situation in West Virginia said today
there was no Indication that the min
erS in that section would go out.
ANXIETY IN CANADA.
MONTREAL, July 6.-Prominent
dealers here are anxious over the out
look caused by the miners strike in the
United States. Not more than three
weeks supply OF soft coal is on hand
The result will be.seriouS if the strike
extends and production ceases.
OPERATORS MEET TOMORROW
COLUMBUS, Ohio, July 6-The
bituminous coal operators of the
United States will meet at Detroit
tomorrow, to take action on the
great strike. 1t is not denied that
the operators are much worried at
the outlook. They want peace and
the meeting will be held to derive
means for obtaining it. The opera
tors deem it necessary to Cooperate
in order to arrive at some mutually
satisfactory terms Operators, as
rule, individually concur in the justice
of the miners demands. They IN
reservedly admit that the present
debased commercial and moral
aspects of their business, both as to
motives employed in quests for trade
and in payment and treatment OF
help, is due solely to the relentless
competition among themselves. All
fields will be represented atthe meet
ing tomorrow.
