SERIOUS ANTI-NEGRO RIOTING.

Wounded Several Others.
Several White Men Were Also Injured by Bullets
Aimed at Negroes-The Police Authorities
Are Trying to Quell the Riot

New Orleans, July 25.-one negro dead,
two fatally shot and twelve men seri-
ously wounded is the known result of
mob's desperate work in this city to-
night.
Three OF the wounded are white men,
who were hit by stray bullets. Public
feeling has reached its highest tension
and armed mobs are searching various
parts OF the city In an effort to appre-
bend Robert Charles, the negro who
shot and killed Police Captain Day and
Patrolman Lamb at an early hour Tues
day morning
Tonight mob composed OF several thou
sand persons formed at Lee Circle and
marched out ST. Charles avenue In body.
1t was reported that the mob would march
upon the parish prison and demand tho

the police officers were killed The police
accordingly sent strong reinforoements to
the prison and when the mob made its ap-

prevailed and the members OF the throns
slowly dispersed. Small bands of men and
boys were soon formed and scattered to
several parts of the city. Many negroes
who were on the streets and riding in
cars were fred upon with more or less
serious results.
The police board was IN session when
reports of the marching of the mobs were
received and an adjournment was prompt

might hurry to the scene and put down
the disorders. Not since the Iynching OF
the Italians several years ago has there
been such general excl.eme
The funeral of Captain Day and Pa
trolman Lamb took place this afternoon
and served to intensity the feeling of their
/ friends. There was talk this afternoon Of
mass meeting to be held at Lee Circle
to discuss the killings, but officers were
on hand and dispersed the meeting.
The body of the dead negro is in the
morgue and half dozen badly battered
colored men and women are in the Charity
hospital. Among those wounded is Pull

VIII Vote for Bryan and Against
Imperialism.

Fort Worth, Texas, July 25.-Professor
Pruitt OF the Fort Worth Business col
lege about a week ago wrote several
letters of inquiry to friends in Central
Illinois with view to ascertainng the
sentiment existing among the German ele
ment in that part of the State relative to
how they viewed the chances of Bryan
and Stevenson for election He has just re-
ceived several responses and all of them
are loud in the praise of the democratic
ticket, The Information IS given that
nearly all the German people In that part
OF Illinois viii support Bryan aud his
running mate, Germans who have FOR the
past thirty years always cast their bal
lots for republican president. They now
say they propose TO vote the democratic
ticket from top to bottom.
To Professor Pruitt they state they are
opposed 10 the imperalistic and standing
army policy Of the republican aGminisirn-
ton and win not submit to that party's
rule any longer II their votes will change
the, situation. There are thousands ana
thousands of these Germans in Central IL
linois who are among the thriftest people
OF that State and II the tone OF the let
ters received by Professor Pruitt Is to te
considered as their action In the coming
presidential election, something very rad
zeal is likely to happen up in Illinois next
November.

Secretary Newburn is very popular with
East Texas Baptists and will succeed in
