Injustice-An Address to Whites

ATHENS. Ga. April 3o.-Bishop Henry NJ

Methodist Episcopal Church and to the
white people at the courthouse. The sermon
to the negroes urged them to conduct them
selves Alright and to teach their children to
observe law and religion. He said the news
papers Of Georgia had done the negro
preachers a great injustice by saying they
were not preaching to their congregations
against the crimes of murder. rape and ar
son. He said the ministers did preach
against such crimes; he always did, and that
the newspapers a rule knew as much
about what the negro preachers were saying
as a gang of monkeys. for they did not. in
many instances, have reporters at churches
TO report the sermons.
During his address to the white people
Bishop Turner said he would rather his peo-
pie were again in slavery. with the protec-
ton it afforded. than in their present con-
dition. He said the negro was brought here
and given civilization in order that he might
go to Africa and civilize those people. Ii

RIOTERS BACK AT WORE
MOB THAT PLAYED HAVOC AT WARD
NER RETURNS TO WALLACE.
Serious Trouble Expected IL Attempts
Are Made to Arrest the Dynami-
tiers and Murderers.

WALLACE. Ida. April 3o.-Practically all
of yesterdays Wardner rioters are back at
work. those from Canyon creek nearly all
went home at midnight. while this morn
ing's train from Missoula took the rest of
those from Mullane. The understanding last
night was that Jack Smith. the Burke man
killed at Kellogg, would be buried here to-
day. but the funeral has been postponed.
There is much less talk to-day than yester-
day. Sympathizers with the rioters have
had time to consider the matter calmly and
have begun to think of the consequences.
Many inquiries are made as to the likeli-
hood of martial law and the probable out
come of an attempt to punish the evil
doors by some power really DESTROYS OF
melting out justice. There is nc talk of any
attempt at punishment unless by federal
authorities.
Governor Steuenberg's estimate of 500
troops being necessary to preserve peace is
all right If nothing more is desired, but
should arrests be attempted many more will
be needed. The miners are all armed and
their positions on Canyon creek and at Null
lane are nearly impregna ble while the coun-
try Is full OF men and women who will fur
nish all possible information to them These
men will hesitate at nothing should their
liberty be endangered. Thoroughness OF
their organization was shown by the way
clans were gathered yesterday morning.
Sympathizers all along the line were ready
when the train arrived. dropping whatever
in hand to go. The amount of powder used
at Wardner was greater than supposed

CHICAGO. April S0.-Meetings were held
in African churches throughout the city to-
day to protest against lynchings in the
South. All of the services were largely at
tended and at each of them an address to
the public was adopted, which is in part as
follows:
We plead for equal and exact justice We
condone no crime nor do we wish to shield
criminals from the penalties they deserve.
All We ask is the rigid enforcement Of law.
We contend that no man or woman should
be put 10 death except by due process of
law We want every protection possible to
be thrown around the home and the highest
penalty visited upon the violator of its
sanctity. AT the same time, we hold TO the
doctrine that ours is land of liberty and
law and that every person charged with a
crime should have fair trial. This we ask
not az favor. but a right. and in this behalf
We urge upon the sober judgment Of the
civilized world that this is the only civilized
nation on the face CT the earth that charges
a man with crime and then puts him TO
death without trial. The negro pleads for
law and protests against anarchy. Can the
white man do more? Does he dare TO do
less?"

NEW YORK, April 30.-How will society
receive Mr.. and Mrs. Perry. Belmont? This
is a very pressing question in New York,
Newport and wherever members of the
-Four Hundred" congregate. That the
newly-wed couple will return from the
South to mingle in society here and at New
port is not doubted for a moment. Both

the beaux of the fashionable Rhode Island

Mrs. Henry T. Sloane, held sway over a
wide circle at home and at Newport. which

Mrs Sloane has been considered the best
dressed woman in metropolitan society.
Moreover. she Is a beautiful woman, and
carries well her thirty-seven years of age.
Mentally she is richly endowed, and few
women could hope TO match her wit. Be-
cause of these attachments she became a
belle in society early in life. and for years
her leadership was unquestioned. 1t is be-
lieved that she came to Mr.. Belmont "a
dowerless BRIDE" for the purpose of resum-
ing her former position in the exclusive set.

PACIFIC COAST SHAKEN.
Seismic Disturbances in California
During a Storm.

SAN FRANCISCO. April 29.-Two shocks
Of earthquake were distinctly felt in all
parts OF Che city to-day. The first shock
was rather mild. but the second. which fol-
lowed Immediately afterward, was of much
greater severity. 1t was matter of general
comment that the shocks which were felt
about 2:45 p. m. should have occurred dur
ing pelting rain and with an unusually low
temperature for this season. While the Sec
ond shock was responsible for general
fright. particularly to those who were
higher up than the ground floor of houses
or other buildings, SO far as known no dam
age has resulted from the earthquake be-
yond trivial household disasters to glass
ware and china.
The shocks were general in all the coast
counties of the central portion Of the State.
AT Salinas loud atmospheric noises accom-
panied the shocks and window glass was
broken.
