PROTECTION FOR WOMEN.
Prominent Citizens of Georgia Use Strong
Language About Oufraees

Atlanta, Ga, April ZI-The recent
crimes and iynchings have stirred the
people Of Georgia and the South into
frenzied interest in the social problems
which the crimes reveal.
The Atlanta Constitution devotes q page
20 a collection of opinions on how proper
protection can be afforded 10 the women
Of the country OF the matter. Gov. Cand-
Ter has this to say: The question OF pro-
lection for women and homes in the coun-
Try is one OF deep interest All which
weighs upon my heart. / think the wisest
plan for protection will be for th5 Legisld-
ture to take up the matter, and provide
sufficient State militia and funds to be
expended for a patrol in the country dis
tricts."
Former Gov. William J. Nortken express
ed himself as follows: "My first sugges-
ton Is that all homes should be made
miniature arsenals. at least TO the extent
OF one good Winchester and one good pis-
tol: that women be allowed to carry wea-
pons upon their persons, concealed, X so
desired, and that they be taught the use
and handling of firearms, so that they
may become their own protectors in the
absence Of the husband or master Of the
house. An occasional negro lying dead IN
the back yard. shot by brave woman il
defense OF her honor, Will do more 10
stop this awful crime than all the lynch
ing that may occur In a year. / would
have every county supplied with at least
a half dozen well-trained bloodhounds.
would have an organization of at least
twenty men in each county who should
have supervision Of all iawlessness and
disorders in the county
Mrs. Gordon's sirang Language.
Mrs. Louie NJ Gordon, a prominent fig
rre in society, not only in Atlanta but
throughout the Southern cities, faYors the
equipment Of a company Of militia by
each county. She says: "The Mexican
government has a kind of rural sOidiery,
having the power to hold a drum-hedd
court-martial and to shoot the criminal
caught If he is found guilty. The per
cent. of crime is lower in Mexico than in
this country, and train robberies are
scarce, and yet trains are loaded with sill
yer and bullion. 1t seems it would be d
wise investment for our farmers to add
a fund to what should be contributed by
tie Legislature to provide an up-Io-date,
well-equipped sufficient military force for
the counties, as well as cities and towns.
The good moral effect il would surely
bring would produce a sense of safety
which would drive fear away from shrink
ing hearts"
Mrs. FELTON,, who produced sensation
by her assertion at an agricultural con-
yention two years ago that thousand ne
groes should be lynched every week until
the outrages stopped, says she has no rea-
son to change her opinion.
Attorney General Terrell favors better
enforcement OF the laws.
Inspector General O'Rear said: Women
may assist in their own protection by be
coming familiar with the use of riYearms
and having them at hand when the occa-
sion demands "

Cleveland Ohio. April 24-The Method
ist Ministers Association to-day discussed
the Georgia lynching, and appointed a
committee 10 draft resolutions condemning
the outrage, as well as the crime commit
ted by the victim of the mob.
Rev John Mitchell, presiding elder. in
speech recounted the crime of Same Hose.
Some of the ministers present objected.
THAT is the trouble with some of YOU"
said DR.. Mitchell. You do not want to
hear of the crime. ] really believe that if
such crime was committed In this city
the people would take the law into their
own hands. and would hang the perpetra-
tor in the face of law and order We
should not only condemn the burning of
the poor wretch, but also the terrible
crime he committed"
Philadelphia, April 24-The Baptist min
listers of this city. at their weekly meeting
to-day adopted resolutions condemning

HOSE LYNCHING CONDEMNED.
Press and People of Savannah Deplore the
Spirit of savagery.

Savannah. Ga, April 24-The press and
people of this city condemn in uEmeas-
ured terms the lynching of Sam Hose. at
Nawnan, yesterday. The Morning News
says:
THE iynching will send a thrill of hor-
ror through the entire country. The
method of it was in keeping with the
spirit OF a savage rather than a civilized
and Christian community. 1t Drovokes a
spirit that is likely to lead to other
crimes"
The Press says the affair "will undo the
work that friends of the State nave been
doing for years. IL will dissipate and
scatter to the winds the efforts that have
been patiently making to show that Geer-
gia offers to homeseeKer the model abode
in a State where nature, art, AID hu-
manity are all united in a cordial well
come"
City Attorney Adams says: "It is un-
speakably horrible and shameful. The
men who mutilated their victim, after
burning him, have given a lesson in saw
agery and barbarity 10 the most savage
and barbarous."
Judge T. NJ Norwood, of the City Court.
said: THE whole thing is too horrible to
think of. | don't want To talk about il.

GOV. GAMBLERS ADVICE.
Says Negroes Must Help Protect Com
munity from Lawless of Their Race.

Atlanta, Ga, April 23.-Gov Gambler to-
night gave the Associated Press the fol-
lowing statement on the burning of Sam
Hose near Newman:
The whole thing is deplorable, and
Hoses crime, the horrid details of which
have not been published, and are too hor-
rible for publication, is the most diabol-
ical in the annals of crime The negroes
Of that community lost the best oppor-
tunity they will ever have TO elevate
themselves in the estimation of their
white neighbors. The diabolical nature
Of the double crime was well known, and
they owed IL to their race to exhaust ey-
cry means of bringing Hose to justice"
This course would have done more to
elevate them in the estimation Of good
people and protect their race against the
mob than all the rewards and proclama-
tions of all the Governors for the next
fifty years. But they lost the opportunity.
and it is a deplOrable fact that while
scores of intelligent negroes, leaders of
their race have talked to me about the
Palmetto lynching. not one of them has
ever. in the remotest way, alluded either
TO the burning of Palmetto, whicn pro-
vOked the lynching, nor to the diabOiical
crime Of Hose.

in every legal right and against mob yiO-
lence. and / stand ready TO employ every
resource Of the State in doing so, but
they must realize that in order to merit
and receive the protection OF the comnu-
nifty they must show a willingness to pro-
| tect the community against the lawiess
element of their own race.
The good and law-abiding negroes must
separate themselves from the IaWleSs and

THE POPE'S
HEALTH IS
RESTORED
Makes a Speech to the Car
dinals Assembled to
Greet Him.
Special Dispatch to The Can.

ROME, April 1.-THE Pope to-day re-
ceived the members of the Sacred Col
iege, who congratulated the Pontiff ON
his restoration to health.
In his address to the Cardinals the
Pope, after expressing great gratitude
to the Deity for his restoration to health
and his thankfulness for the proofs of
affection from all parts of the world,
warmly eulogized the Cars initiative
in calling the peace conference and
hoped that it would lead to the settle
ment of all disputes between all ma
tions by moral and peaceful means.
The Pontiff also dwelt at length upon
the church's mission of pacification,
mot only in the domain of conscience,
but in the public and social representa-
tive here, a mission which the church
fulfills in proportion with the freedom
left to her action"
Continuing, the Pope said: Every
time the church has intervened directly
In the serious affairs of the world it has
assured public welfare, and the Popes
have often stopped oppression and Sc
cured truces and peace treaties. Civil
ization would have perished without
papal authority to vindicate the Su-
premacy Of right over might. Oppres-
sion may sometimes embarrass and
curtail the powers of religion, but amid
all vicissitudes the church pursues it's
beneficent mission, which will embrace
heaven and earth. Pure humanitarian
ism could not insure lasting prosperity.
An attempt is even now perceptible to
withdraw civilization from the influence
of Christianity"
The Pope concluded with bestowing
his benediction upon those present in a
firm, strong voice. Besides the Cardi-
nails a number of Bishops and other
dignitaries of the church were present.
The health of the Pontiff was appar-
emily excellent.

VERY UGLY
Germany Wants the Ameri-

avOW Kautz's Action.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

BERLIN, April 1.-THE Lokal An
zeiger to-day prints an interview with
DR.. Raffel, in which he is quoted as
saying:
THE decision Of Chief Justice
Chambers in favor of Malietoa Tanu
was partly due to the fact that
Mataafa is a Catholic, while Malietoa
is a proselyte Of the English mission
aries. Mataafa at present is the only
King the Samoans will tolerate"
There has been q sudden veering of
views upon the part Of both the Min
lister Of Foreign Affairs, Baron Won
Bulow, and the Emperor.
A Foreign Office official said tonight
to the correspondent OF the Associated
Press, in energetic Language, that Ger
many and Belgium would investigate
the commissions work, and insist
upon the American and British Gov
ernment Enthusiastically disavowing the
fragrant violations committed by Ad-
miral Kautz and Captain Sturdee. In
the absence Of a disavowaI for Ger
many to join the commission would be
a mere farce. He added:
When the commission starts it must
bIdi L Oil TIE oldluS quo anu not on a
status created by the Illegal acts Of
subordinates in Samoa"
More energetic is the official an
nouncement Of the Hamburg Corre-
spondenZ, which declares that if Eng
land and America do not heed the dip
lomatic remonstrances made in Lon
don and Washington the remonstrances
Will be fortified, adding: Germany in
sists upon receiving full satisfaction
for the number of breaches committed
In Samoa"
The tone of the German press during
the last two days has been most bitter.
Inquiries made by the correspondent
Of the Associated Press at the For
eign Office have ELECTED the statement
that nothing is known of the alleged
British annexation Of the Tonga Isl
ands and it is not believed such action
has been taken, as it is claimed II
would be a gross violation Of the
Anglo German agreement of 1886.
