inEs Are Discussed.

Newman, Ga, May 1O.-The negroes In
the remote precincts of this (Coweta)
county are giving the people OF Newman
and the authorities in adjoining counties
cause for good deal OF anxious specua-
ton. They are gathering at secret rem
devious nightly, and discussing the Hose
and Strickland lynchings, with view to
planning vengeance for what they consider
an outrage upop>rhe negro race as a whole.
One OF the most prominent citizens OF
Newman overheard one of their confer
ences. and, entering the meeting boldly
pleaded with the negroes to maintain or
der, calling attention to the futility OF rails
ing disturbance and to the fruitful ends
to be gained by correct behavior and at
tcntion TO their own business. The largest
portion OF the negroes condemn these Sc
cret meetings. and their purpose, hut the
vicious element still smarts over the Hose
holocaust aud is nothing short OF crazy
for revenge. The prime mover in one OF
the meetings has been warned to leave the
country. and 1t Is reported that he has
complied with the command but so far his
absence. II bona flde. has had no effect

CATHOLIC KNIGHTS.
Proposition to Admit Women as
Members Voted Down.

Kansas City. May 1o.--The Catholic
knights of America who met in annual
convention here today, with nearly every
state represented, resumed the old fight
over the question OF admitting women to
membership almost as soon as the conven-
tion had been called to order. The law
committee came before the convention
with majority and minority reports, the
majority favoring the admission OF women.
After a debate which lasted until late to-
night the vote was taken and the women
were defeated. The final vote was 2l4 in
the affirmative and 17S in the negative. As
the proposed amendment required two
thirds majority to carry, the champions of
the women were vanquished. An effort to
reconsider the vote will be made to-
morrow.
