SIX MEN VICTIMS OF
NEGRO'S DEADLY AIM

sound like a continuous roar.
Body Shot to Pieces.
When the firing ceased the negro's head
and arms were almost severed and his face
was an unacceptable mass of bleeding
flesh. For time a mad carnival CT kill
ing seemed imminent. but the officers
pleaded so earnestly with the mob that
comparati,a quiet was finally restored.
As soon as 1t became evident that Rich
ardson was dead the burning house was
approached and with poles the mangled,
charred trunk Of the negro was withdrawn.
The mob fought savagely for CHASTITY SOU

relics before re-entering the line.

Covington said that he saw Richardson
standing by a window trying to shoot him

Covington fired at Richardson, however.
the negro landed a bullet in his last
man. II struck z. T. Jackson, q street car
man. In the right hip. Jackson was stand
ing fully 200 yards from where Richardson
was concealed
While waiting for Richardson's place
OF refuge to burn, the officers searched
surrounding negroes houses, thinking he
might have fed to one for protection. The
search was Ruthless.
AS the crowd stood waiting. two negroes
jumped from the mouth of sewer within
twenty-five feet of where the officers and
citizens were gathered. They came direct
ly toward the crowd with evident intention
Of mingling with those who were stand
ing around. An excited man announced
that he had seen the negroes come from
the sewer and Immediately the negroes
began running.

One was within a few feet of the crowd
and citizen emptied the contents of botn
barrels Of double barreled shotgun iuto
his back. The negro kept on running ia
the direction of the city limits He fell
about hundred yards from where he had
been shot. and was lying in the ditch in
an unconscious condition and apparently
dying as the crowd stood above him.
Some wanted to fire into his body. but
were prevented by the officers. He is now
at the Grady Hospital.
The other negro was also shot as he at
tempted to escape. He also left red
trail behind him. He went first to house
on Mcdaniel Street, where he knocked
wildly. hut the negroes who lived there
were evidently afraid TO let the wounded
man in. He left a pool OF blood upon the
floor OF the porch. He then went around
the house. Many thought he had gone I'M
der the house. but he was soon discovered
lying in hog pen.

beavers up TO the proudest commander
who stood upon the bridge.
He had not been for Sampson: he had
not been for Schley, he said, but rather
for the American navy, which was greater
than any one man, any two men, or set
OF men: and when ii was sought to pro-
long the controversy II only did harm 10
that valuable arm Of the public service
He trusted that every man who was in the
Eight would some day have his due credit
Mr., williams was then recognized. He
said re had listened with admiration 10
the tribute to tho muse Of history by
Mr.. Foss, but the trouble was that the
muse of history had been writing the
names OF those who did not take part in
the battle Of Santiago. and she had been
trying to leave out the names OF those
who did.
'Do you think the muse of history had
anything - do with TT" asked Mr.. Foss.
A Naval Muse.
SWELL" responded Mr.. williams. "a
little naval muse by the name of Maclay

Committee on Naval Affairs have been ac-

When ought this controversy to cease,
Mr.. Williams asked: and then answering
the question said IL was when every mis-
cradle scoundrel who had read and APP
proved the proofs OF Maclay's book and
encouraged him TO write Schley down as
q coward and q liar had been called be-
fore a court martial.
Continuing, Mr.. Williams declared that
Admiral Crowninshield's conduct was I'M
becoming an officer and gentleman when
he approved the statements which Mac
lay made against his tCrowninshield 81
brother ofhcer.
Mr.. Kiuttz Dem, N.C.). asked Mr.. Foss
who interrupted, IL Crowninshield had
ever denied that he approved the proof.
A Denial From Admiral Crowninshield.
Mr.. Dayton undertook to answer that
question. He declared that Crowninshield
had upon one occasion IN the presence Of
the Secretary Of the Navy denied that he
had ever read or approved the proof

to the entire navy for a year. and one
vessel in that squadron had shot away
more in practice than was intended for
the whole naval unit. While no blame
was attached to the commanders for their
zeal in perfecting the craftsmanship OF

BILE to exercise a closer supervision ever

One matter pointed out by the inspec-

Virginia capes is the superiority of cleo

moving ships machinery. The kearsarge

this demonstration. II was shown con-

was made in the work. and there was
also an unusual degree of precision.

REVIEW OF TIE NORTH

Commanders Put Through
Severe Firing Tests.
Admiral Dewey's Theory-More Money

trio Machinery Effective.

IORFOLK, Va, May 1I.-Reports on
the review Of the North Atlantic Squadron
of the Virginia capes show that several
interesting theories were worked out
among them one which was put In prac-
tice by Admiral Dewey From the deck
Of the dispatch boat De Iphin he issued
orders to the fleet putting II through a
series of complicated AMI difficult tactics,
calculated to test the ability of each

over the enemy. and at the same time
not to interfere with the fire of his fell
lows of the squadron.
To this end. each captain was ordered
to consider the Dolphin as the enemy.
and to work his vessel SO as to maintain
it within the most effective zcne OF fire.
Meanwhile the Dolphin pursued an err
ratio course In and out of the fleet. dou-
bling as often and as sharply as pos
sibIe. As the Dolphin has 4 speed of only
twelve knots. the test was not as severe
as 1t might have proved with a swifter
vessel, but the reviewing authorities de-
clared themselves we'll pleased with the
results.
New Ideas in Target Practice.
Lieut.. A. p. Ni5lack was present in his
capacity Of inspector of squadron target
practice, and had his first opportunity to
try his new system OF firing at moving
targets. About a year ago it was discov-
cred that there was serious deficiency
in the funds available for the ordnance d.

they thought that a brave naval officer
was being abused and slandered
He wanted to know what objection there
was to the adoption of the amendment.
Mr.. Foss declared that he had none.
Then why did you make point of
order against it?" asked Mr.. Sims dem,
TENN. Mr. Dayton said he did SO be-
cause it was useless and unnecessary
legislation.
MIR. Pearre asked Mr.. Williams II he
had any Information as to what the
Naval Committee had done with the nu-
merous resolutions which had been intro
duced in the House touching upon the
Schley matter. MIR. Williams replied that
he had the same information that every
other American citizen had, that nothing
had been done with them, that IT was the
intention OF the committee TO do nothing
with them except to kill them. Mr.. Foss
asked II the Court of Inquiry had not de-
cided the case. Mr.. Williams said that
was one OF the unfortunate things that
was absolutely true.
Mr.. Foss-And the President has pass
ed judgment upon the case7
Another Unfortunate Fact.
Mr.. Williams-That is another unfor-
tunate thing. likewise absolutely true
dent would like to have the case closed.
but he not yet n despot: he had not
yet acquired the power of an emperor TO
make his wish an accomplished fact.
Continuing. Mr.. Williams TUNED his at
tention to Mr.. Dayton. administering TO
him very cleyeriy- worded rebuke coup
led with a compliment for his ability. Mr..
Dayton. he said, never did anything by
accident. There was motive in his point
of order against the amendment.
Mr.. Dayton made a brief reply in JUS
LITIGATION OF his position. but admitted
that he had made a blunder.
Mr. Schirm In ten-minute impas-
stoned address. his maiden effort in the
House. delivered an eloquent tribute to
Admiral Schley, and scathing denuncia-
ton of Maclay and his book. Maclay,
he said, had with his filthy pen attempted
to besmirch the fair name of one of
the greatest naval commanders in Ameri-
can history.
The Stamp of Disapproval.
Mr.. Schlrm declared that his purpose
was not TO express disapproval of Samp-
SOL or approval of Schley. but condemna-
tion OF Maclay. to put the stamp of dis
approval upon not only his original work.
but the exrurgated edition. In other
words. he DID not want it possible at
any time for a copy of the slanierous
volume to find its way into the library Of
the Naval Academy or Of any ship OF the
navy.
Mr.. Cannon concluded the debate with
a brief statement. deploring the revival
of the controversy. No one in the coun-
try. he said. thought Scbley was a cow
ard Everybody thought Maclay had Sian
dered him; the President thought so, and
discharged him from the service,
Mr.. Pearre asked why Mr.. Foss had OBJ
Jected to the amendment being added TO
the bill, to which Mr.. Foss replied that
he thought 1t would be too great an ad-
vertisement for the book.
When the vote was taken the Demo-
Gratis fairly woke the echoes with their
cries OF YEA" In which the members OF
