PROTECTS HAVE AvAlLED.
Wholesale LynchIng OF Negroes In Bossier,
La, VIII Probably Not Occur, Public
Sentiment Opposing.

Shreveport, La, June 15.-The night
passed without the lynching of any
of the negroes who have been under
arrest in the adjoining parish of Bos-
sier ever since the murder of John
Gray Foster on the Foster plantation
Prince Edwards, the negro who shot
Foster. is still in hiding. The strong
stand taken by Gov. Heard in opposi-
ton to any violence, his offer to send
troops and the protest of the Foster
family against the execution of inno-
cent blacks have apparently had
good effect. The excitement has di-
minished and planters and business
men generally deprecate a wholesale
lynching or reign of terror for fear
it will have the effect of driving negro
labor away

negroes were convicted of murder
committed under an alleged criminal
conspiracy by an organized band of
blacks known as knights of the

Washington, June 15.-President Nc

third-term idea has struck an Hi-
IDENTIFY responsive. cord in the political
heart. AS to the general effect upon
other candidates, there is general
sense of relief, coupled with considera-
bic uncertainty as to who will get the
most benefit out of it. There naturally
has been, of course, some little jeal
Ousy against what is termed the Ohio
crowd, and when the third term prop
osition was first broached it was gen.
orally said it was started in the in
terest of certain Ohio politicians, who
hated to give up their front seats at
the pie counter. This feeling of resent
ment was fomented by the discovery
that Gen. Grosvenor was talking of a
third term for an Ohio president.
Now that the president has officially
rebuked his friends for their attempt
to put him in false position the feel
ing seems to be gradually drifting in
the direction of Senator Fairbanks.
of Indiana, as the probable beneficiary
of the administration influence. Since

the confidence of the president to an
extraordinary degree. Fairbanks
helped the president to formulate the
Spanish policy before the war was
thought of. and ever since then he has
represented the administration to a
degree not exceeded by any one, even
Senator Hanna himself.
Next to the third term bugbear is
the general opposition to taking pres
idents from the same state for success
sive terms. The feeling is expected
to bar out Senator Foraker. and hence
it is assumed that the tendency of the
delegates from the states of Ohio. In
diana and Illinois will be for Fair
banks rather than toward Roosevelt.
