COLORED MINISTER'S.
Resolutions Adopted Concerning As
sau1t and Lynching.

The Colored Methodist Ministers Associa-
ton at meeting yesterday morning
adopted the following resolutions:
Whereas, We have been horrified at the
published reports of outrages committed
or said TO have been committed by inhu,,
order In Iryington and Terre Haute; and
Whereas, We have been equally horri--
ned ar the accounts of the baroarous ana
illegal method Of punishment resorted 10
in lieu of the law by the citizens of Terfe
Haute. Rockport and elsewhere.
We, the pastors and presiding elders or
the colored Methodist churches OF the city
OF Indianapolis and vicinity, do hereby eN-
press our unqualified condemnation Of the
crimes committed and also the lllegal
method OF punishment resorted to, and We
hereby offer not only sympathy, but
our aid and support TO those in authority
who endeavor to enforce law and order
In our commonwealth.
I'VE commend most heartily our late la
mented Ex-Governor Mount and our present
Governor Durbin, also Attorney General
Taylor for their efforts TO prevent lynch
ings wherever they have occurred
EXPRESSIONS SECURED.
The Terre Haute lynching and the 1rv-
ington crime were the principal topics of
discussion among colored men all day yes
terday. The better class of colored men,
especially those engaged in business, con-
demned in the strongest terms the crime
their disapproval of mob violence. They
were almost of the unanimous opinion that
the perpetrators of such crimes should be
punished to the fullest extent, but by law
only. Dr. s. A. Furniss said: Il cannot too
strongly express my condemnation or the
crime of which the negroes in Terre Haute
and Irvington are accused. i believe the
full penalty Of the law should be enforced
against such offenders when they are prov
en- guilty. 1t Is the duty of all good citi-
zens TO insist that more stringent laws be
passed and efectually enforced so as 10
prevent resort to mob violence. regret
exceedingly the action OF the mob In Terre
Haute. Its effect is uncivilizing and de-
grading rather than refOrmatory. L believe
that mob action does no good in stopping
such crimes, for il seems to awaken
spirit of resentment in the criminal classes.
The law-abiding citizens of all races should
unite to use every effort to stop lynching
and the crimes that tend to inflame the
passions of the people and make lynching
possible
DR.. B. j. Morgan said: at am satisfied
that the sentiment of the better element
of colored people here is strongly against
IN Irvington and Terre Haute are accused,
no matter by whom perpetrated. ] be-
lieve the culprits should be punished to
the full extent of the law. i do not un-
hold lynch law at any time and am sat
isfied that the resort to IL at this time SIM
and does not tend to prevent recurrence
OF such acts Of lawleSsness as strict,
impartial enforcement of the law would
do
John Puryear condemned lynching, and
said the law-abiding citizens of both races
minish such crimes by rigid enforcement

HELD AT DANvILLE.
Authorities There Have Philip Tolbert
Under Arrest.

Prosecutor Cooper, of Danville, Ind,
called Superintendent Quigley last night by
telephone, and said the man held in that
city Tailed with the description of Miss
Darters assailant so closely that an Of
ficer should be sent to Danville. Superin-
tendent Quigley secured description of
the man, and then told Mr.. Cooper to de-
tain the colored man, as an officer would be
sent to Danville this morning.
The man arrested in Danville gave his
name as Philip Tolbert. residing at 1929 La
fayette street. Mr.. Cooper said the de-
scription of Tolbert answered the descrip-
ton given by Miss Darter with the excep-
ton that Tolbert has about a weeks growth
OF sideburns. He said Tolbert had the
prominent front teeth described by Miss
Barter, and which feature caused her to
hesitate in positively identifying DOC"
Reed yesterday afternoon. Mr.. Cooper said
that Tolbert wore a long black OVercoat,
but the colored man had tried to dispose
of ii, and had also torn the velvet collar
from the coat. This was probably done so
the coat could not be identified. Tolbert
claimed he had torn the collar from the
coat to wrap about a razor.
Detective Morgan was sent to the home OF
Tolbert, where he interviewed Tolbert's
wife and learned that Tolbert had been
away from home for over two weeks. She
said she did not know whether he had left
the city or not. She described her husband
as being brown skinned and wearing a
mustache. Detective Morgan asked her re-
garding the marks of identification given
by Miss Barter, and Mrs. Tolbert said in
nearly every instance her husband answered
the description. She finally remarked that
the description given by the detective and
which she was lnterrogated about concern
ing her husband answered the description
of the man wanted for the assault on the
Irvington girl. Detective Morgan asked
the woman IL she thought her husband
would be guilty of such a crime and she
said she did not know of his ever having
committed a similar offense. The descrip-
ton of the clothing worn by her husband
the last she saw OF him partly answered
the description of Miss Darter's assailant.
While Mrs. Toibert said her husband was
brown skinned Mr.. Cooper said the fellow
at Danville was black. Mr.. Cooper teIe-
phoned that Tolbert claimed he had been
in Greencastle for a week and had just
landed in Danville when he was arrested
on SusDiciOn.

GOVERNOR is DETERMINED.
Whole Military Machinery of the State
VIII he Used if Necessary.

Sheriff Eugene Saulcy was somewhat
alarmed over the situation yesterday after
noon when Doc Reed, the negro who is
thought to have assaulted Miss Dorothy
Darter, was brought to the city, and, fear
ing there might be an outbreak similar to
that which occurred in Terre Haute the
day before applied TO Governor Durbin
for assistance from the State. He was told
that the State could take no action what
ever until the sheriff had exhausted all of
his authority. On the strength of the APP
plication, however, the Governor thought
that proper precautions should be taken.
He therefore called into consultation At
torney General Taylor, Adjutant General
Gore, Maj. II. Il. Condo, commander of the
indianapolis battalion of the National
Guard. Quartermaster General Richardson,
Superintendent of Police Quigley, Sheriff
Saulcy and Major Miller, of the National
Guard, so that a proper understanding
could be had as to the forces that could
be called from the city, county and State
in an emergency and the different bodies
could act in unison and there would be no
bunglfng OF orders. 1t was decided at the
conference that five hundred stands of arms
should be used by Sheriff Saulcy in case OF
need Orders were also issued to the Ma
tional Guard of this city TO be in readiness
in their armories for an instant CALL and
additional orders were issued 10 the entire
National Guard of the State to be ready
outbreak.
The department of infantry of this city
will be under command of Maj. H. I.
Conde, and the battery, which is also in
cluded in this order will be in charge of
Lieutenant Heiskell. Governor Durbin gave
positive orders TO the commanders of the
guard that there should be no firing OF
blank cartridges nor shooting over the
heads, this is against the rules of the
organization and would not be tolerated by
him.
After the conference the Governor said to
a Journal reporter: There will be no such
scenes here there were in Terre Haute
III the city, county and state authorities can
prevent II. If the National Guard is called
out IL will be for business and the firing of
blank cartridges or shooting overhead will
not be allowed. You can make this as
strong you want 10. for that man will
be protected If ii takes the whole guard
of Indiana to do IT,"
There was considerable suppressed excite
ment among members of the National
Guard last night, after the Governors or
ders were made known. Runners were sent
out 10 see that all members of the local
companies reported at their armories on
time. The Journal answered many tele-
phone calls during the evening anent the

SOME DEVELOPMENTS.
A Report from Newcastle That May
Cause Caicers to Act.

A report from New Castle last evening
to the effect that the county prosecutor
there had said Reed had told him that he
was in Indianapolis on Thursday and that
information had been received showing
that he had traded his hat and overcoat at
Louisville on Friday caused considerable
comment and doubt as to the correctness
of the previous decision for which the re-
ports from Morristown and Palestine We're
responsible.
Another matter which will probably be
investigated before Reed is released is in
connection with his sudden departure from
this city during carnival week. He claimed
to have worked at that time at Brandons
restaurant, at 1904 East Washington street.
and after working five days left without
drawing his wages. He said he left be-
cause he had some trouble with white
girl who working there.
A woman who was assaulted in the south
ern part of the city by negro during that
week will also be looked up and asked TO
go to headquarters to Reed.
