CLEVELAND MAYOR
IS DETERMINED
He viii Crush Out LaWlesS-
ness.
OPPOSED TO INVESTIGATION
Strikers Charge Responsibility of Pres
ent Trouble to Chief Executive
and Have Made Threats
On His Life.

Cleveland, July 27-Mayor Farley pro-
| poses to finish the campaign against law
| lessness in Cleveland on the lines he has
laid down and he will not tolerate any in
terference This was made clear at the
special meeting of the city council this
evening when the attempt to institute an
investigation of the strike on the Big Con-
solidated railway lines by a special COM
mittee of that body was defeated. 1t was
the purpose to authorize a committee to
institute a semi-judicial investigation of the
strike by subpoenaing witnesses and send
ing for books and papers to ascertain
whether the agreement by which the first
strike was settled had been lived up to and
TO inform the public where the blame for
the present strike rested.
Mayor Farley opposed the proposition in
a vigorous speech in which he declared
that the appointment of committee would
interfere with the plans of the executive
for the crushing out of disorder. He said
the only result could be to keep alive the
agitation and that no good purpose would
be served.
This seems to be a good time" the
mayor declared. for everybody to mind
his own business"
Several of the councilmen favored the
appointment OF the committee, but when
the resolution came to vote it was lost.
Many of the strike synlpathizers have
been very bitter toward Mayor Farley. In
public meetings they have charged him
with responsibility for the present troubles,
and threats against his life have been
made. This has led him to provide guard
for his residence on Euclide avenue, and
The presence Of the troops has had a de-
pressing effect on the rioters, and up to
10 o'clock tonight there had not been d
single outbreak of violence. The cars were
operated on nearly all lines On nearly tho
usual schedules, but in some parts Of the
city they ran almost empty, the boycott o.
the lines by the working people being al
most universal
The boycott has extended to the soldiers.
Merchants are refusing to sell them any
supplies, and Representatives of organized
labor have refused to patronize any body
who takes a soldiers money for anything.
Tonight the troops were Withdrawn from
Collinwood on the promise of the mayor
to preserve order there. The coroners in
quest into the killing of Henry Cornzweit
last Monday by non-union conductor
named Ralph Hawley has been in progress
for two days. AL the witnesses who have
testified thus far have told practically the
same story. 1t is to the effect that the
shooting was unjustifable.

MOB AFTER THREE
MORMON ELDERS
They Attempted to Convert Mrs,
CunIard in Georgia,
SHOTS WERE EXCHAN GED
Fifty Masked Men Secured the Prose-
lyters and Rode Off With Them ],
Nothing Has Been Seen
of Them Since
SHOTS WERE EXCHANG ED

Atlanta, Ga, July E.-The Constitution
has received a special from its Covington.
Ga, correspondent. which says that a mob
of fifty masked men made away with three
Mormon elders who have been PROSECUTING
in Jasper county.
The story is to the effect that the three
elders visited the home of William Gun
lard. near Newton factory Jasper county,
yesterday, and endeavored to persuade
Mrs. CunIard to join the church. While
they were at the Cuulard lrosne fifty men,
masked and OIL horseback. came up and
asked the elders to accompany them.
They refused to do So and while they
were par1yiug Mr.. Cunlard procured a rifle
and aided the mob in taking the Mormons.
Several shots were exchanged and in the
excitement Mrs. Cunlard had her jaw shat
tered. The mob finally secured the elders
and rode off with them. Nothing has been
seen of them since.
The elders were driven out of two towns
in Jasper county early in the week.

AN INDEMNITY
Government Recognizes This
Right as to Three of
the Italians.

Washington, July T.-Ltaly will be paid
an indemnity for the ly1lching of three of
the five Italians at Talulah, La, and the
state department will lay down the princi-
pie once for all that an alien does not be-
come a full-6edged citizen of the United
States until naturalization papers have
been formally issued to him.
OF course the state department will pur-
sue the regular legal course for ascertain
ing all the facts in connection with the
lynching aud there will doubtless be con-
siderable diplomatic correspondence be-
tween the two countries before the incident
is closed But state department officials
appreciate that there Is no escape from the
payment of the indemnity. No direct de-
mand has yet been made by Italy, but there
have been broad hints dropped in that d.
rection.
The departments ruling on the point Of
citizenship have not always been uniform.

ground that when an alien had applied for

no claim for protection from his native
country. He did not In writing change this,
but the fact that he recommended the pay
ment of indemnity, although done as a
kindly act, is pretty good indication that his
views had changed.
Approaching that an adherence to the
ruling originally made by Secretary oiney
might come back to plague the United
States, the authorities have determined to
hold that AN alien does not become citi-
zen of the United States until naturalization

Scott Made apr Iica ton

When it was announced that Alabama
would be given several commissions in the
volunteer army Taylor Scott son Of Hon.
Thomas Scott, OF Montgomery, made APP
plication for commission through Mr.
Youngblood. The national committeeman
wrote him assuring him of his support and
insisting that he would do everything in
his power to secure his appointment at the
earliest moment. About the same time
Ex-Governor Oates went to Washington to
look after the interests of sanle of his
friends in the state Upon his arrival hero
commission was issued to Phil H. Stem.
which caused some surprise in Alabama
wheu announced Mr.. Scott immediately
communicated with the national committee
man, who informed him that the appoint
ment was secured through the influence of
the ex-governor and that he was doing all
he could to "land' him. Mr. Scot was
not satisfied with the situation and imme-
diately dispatched his brother to Washing
ton to look after his interests. Before
Captain Charles Scott left Montgomery he
heard rumors that Mr. Stern had paid
considerable fee for securing his appoint
meslt. When he arrived in Washington he
man and laid the matter before him Mr.
Youngblood still insisted that Stern's APP
poin1ment was obtained through the in
fuefce OF Ex-Governor Oates and that he
had been sent here for that purpose and
paid the sum OF $500 as a fee for securing
the appointment Mr.. Scott Immediately
went to Governor Oates, who strenuously
denied the accusation, and insisted that he
had never mentioned Mr.. Stems name to
any official In Washington. and in fact did
not even know him. The governor said
frankly that he came here in the interest
of Major Walden, his former private secre-
tary who had been u captain in the Ihird
Alabama infantry. Notwithstanding this
absolute and positive denial on the part OF
Governor Oates, Mr.. Youngblood still in
sisted that Stems appointment was made
through Governor Oates Influence and that
he had nothing whatever to do With it.
MI Scott Immediately wired his brother
in Alabama. notifying him of the situation.
and it has resulted 10 an open rupture,
charges. being made that the 500 paid by
Stern was turned over to the national COM
n,itteenlan instead Of Governor Oates. In
the meantime MIR. Youngblood came hur-
riedly to Alabama, and Is now endeavoTing

Age-Herald Bureau, Hotel MADISON, Mont
gomery July .-(special)-There has been
CLOUD burst" in the ranks of the repub-
lican party in Alabama. Probably one of
the bitterest fights ever inaugurated is now
being waged in the party against bosses
Youngblood and Vaughan. The belligerentd
are strongly backed, and it begins to look
as if the scalps of both the national COM
mitteeman and state chairman are in gTeat
peril.
Youngblood has hurried from Washington
to Montgomery to heal the breeoh. but it
is extremely doubtful If he will be success
full. w. f. Aldricll and j. w. DammiclS are
announced candidates against Youngblood
for national committeeman, while Ad.
WinllEs coiored, of Greensboro, is opposing
Vaughan.
The announcement of Winds candacy
has fallen like bomb shell in the Vaughan
camps, as the state chairman was not ex-
peoting opposition. Winds said to the COR
respondent of The Age-Herald that he had
entered the race with most fattering pros
poets of success. He has given the
Vaughan Youngblood combination more
trouble than any other member of the party

way Winds expressed himself.
The opposition to Youngblood and
Vaughan is far more formidable than it has
been i'm recent years. In the first place the
negro has been completely ignored by the
chairmen when there has been pie for dis
tribution- Then, too, q large per cent. of
the white are disgruntled on account of
