NEGRO MOB QUELLED
he Richmond Police Arrive
Just in Time.
Negroes Storm Car Shed III Which. One Of
Their Race is Held for Shooting a
Motorman.
(By the Associated press.)

Richmond, Va. Sept. 27.-Only the
prompt arrival of squads of police from
all three of the police districts averted
a serious race riot in the eastern part of
the city late this evening. AS it is, Mo
troman T. H. Baker is shot and badly
wounded and eleven negroes are in Jail.
Others will be arrested tomorrow.
A negro named Watkins and another
negro We're on a ear going to the sheds,
quarreling and swearing and the motor
man told them to stop or get off the car.
They declined to DO as told and the mo-
torman elected Watkins. He got aboard
a second time and again was put off, the
motorman accelerating his going with a
little force. The negro came to the shed
to make a complaint against the motor
man who went into the office with the
of the car to make a report of
the trouble. The negro came into the Of
flee and after a few words pulled out 2
pistol and fired at Raber at close range,
the ball taking effect in the left groin. A
motOrman. who was standing in the door,
grabbed the negro before he could fire
a second time, knocked him down and
hoked him, taking the pistol away from
the man.
The scene of the shooting is in the
midst of a negro settlement, there beng
thousands of negroes in the neighborhood.
\ large crowd gathered at the sound OF
the shot and as soon as it was seen that
the negro Watkins had been captured by
the men in the office, the negroes on the
outside began 20 throw stones and ire
pistols at the building and made desper-
ate attacks on the force of white men
in the effort to release Watkins.
The whites began to gather rapldly
, and the situation was becoming very Sc
riOus when someone telephoned to ponce
headquarters. Fortunately 1t was ABOUT
relief time and u heavy police force was
rushed over to the scene 2nd the dls-

EFFECT ON SEABOARD
Williams on A. G.. is Pro-
posed Purchase OIL. & N.
It VIII No. Influence Adversely The ReIa.icr
of the Seaboard Air Line,
He SAYS.
(By the Associated Press.)

New York, Sept. 27.-President John
Line Railway, in response to inquiries
today as to the effect which the proposed
purchase of the Louisville and Nashville
Railroad by the Atlantic Coast Line
situation and especially on the Seaboard
Air Line. said:
'Whcther the purchase of a controlling
interest in the Louisville and Nashville
by the Atlantic Coast Line VIII PROV o
a profitable and valuable acquisition, or
whether it will prove unfortunate for
both, will depend entirely upon the pol
icy Which shall be pursued by the new
owners. If the lines Of the Louisville
and Nashville system are he'd open for
interchange Of business on a fair and re
ciprocal basis with all connections, with
out unfriendly determinations, he TN
ion of these two important systems may
be made advantageous to both, but If an
attempt is made to Interfere with free
Interchange of business between the
Louisville and Nashville and It's present
connections, such a policy VIII be fol-
lowed in due course by the construction
of new railroads into the Louisville and
Nashville territory and the building Of
such additional mileage throughout the
South. Such additional can undouoted-
~ be built for less than one half the cost
per mile of Louisville and Nashville
figured on the basis which it has been
stated has been paid for the stock. l as
sumo, however, that the friendly rela-
tions which have heretofore existed be-
tween the Louisville and Nashville Rail
road and it's several connections will lot
be interrupted. 1t is the desire of the
Seaboard Air Line to maintain cordial
relations with both allies and COMPETE
tors.
L do not know what arrangements
were made on behalf of the southern
Railway with the owners of the Atlantic
Coast Line in connection with the sale 81
the Louisville and Nashville TO the At
, lantic Coast Line interests nor 80 know
whether there is any truth in the report
Which has reached me to the effect that
a secret offensive and defensive alliances
has been entered into between the South
ern Railway and the Atlantic Coast Line,
covering a period Of thirty years.
1T is certain. however. hat nothing
has been done and nothing will be done
| which will affect adversely the relations
and business of the Seaboard Air Line
system. The lines of this system now
ramify seven Southern States extending
from Baltimore in the North to the
Southern limits of Florida in ne South,
and to Montgomery and BlrnlnSnar'
Ala. in the Southwest. The business of
the system at the present time IS linn
tied only by its capacity to move the
freight which is offered TO it, ana THESE
conditions will not be interfered with by
anv action Of connecting lines.
