QUIET Is UNBR0KEN.
CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.


situation well in hand, and on the surface
of things it seems that they have.
The saloons of the city were permitted TO
open at o'clock this afternoon for the
first time since Tuesday morning and
great sigh of relief went UP from thirsty
citizens, Of whom there Is considerable
number In Evansville-a city noted, among
other things. for its breweries and large
beer-drinking population, and 1t Is fact
that the saloons have been closed. 1t Is
doubtful If there has ever been time when
a city the size of Evansville has been as
dry" as this city has been during the
past three days 1t is true that one or two
barrooms at first manifested disposition
to ignore the proclamation OF the mayor
and did business on the usual Sunday and
holiday back door plan. but they were
promptly suppressed and the veteran
FOUNDERS have been forced to do wlthout
their drinks unless they had laid In sup
ply against such an emergency. Although
the saloons were permitted to resume busio
issued that they must be closed at 10
o'clock each night till further orders.
PECULIAR FACTS.
Many peculiar facts bearing on the events
of the past week came out to-day. when the
people began to take notice" Of matters
other than those pertaining directly to the
principal cause of excitement For instance
not single marriage license has been is
sued by the county clerk during the week
Usually from three to fifteen are issued
daily. Again, it is discovered that the CLOCK
In the tower of the city hall stopped Mon
day night at 1925, the exact time Of the
clash between the soldiers and deputies and
the mob. and all efforts to start it again
have failed.
A peculiar feature of the situation here
is that, in spite of the fact that the negroes
are supposed to be anxious to get away
from Evansville, few of them will go when
they are offered work at good wages In
other places. A representative OF the In
dianapolis e. Northwestern Traction Com
pany has been here for two days endeavor-
ing to get laborers for work on the con-
struction gangs on the line between Indian
apolis and Noblesville. He offers the ne
groes $160 per diem and employment for
two or three years in that line of work, but
so far has been unable to secure more than
ten or fifteen men. In line with this colo
nization schemes are being preached here,
whose results remain to be seen.
Circulars are being distributed over the
city headed: Education has brought the
negro to crime and revolution; it Is time
now TO try honest work" After outlining
a plan for colonization in Haiti, the ctrcu-
lar concludes II am a Northern Adolf
ZIONIST myself, but am free to confess that
life in the South has shown me, through
sad experience. the Northern errors in re-
gard to the negro.

GOVERNOR COMPLIMENTS M'kEE.


State Troops Return from Evansville
Weary from Hard Service.
The 1917 men of the Indianapolis battalion
of the National Guard and Battery A of the
Light Artillery, who were sent to Evans
Vile Tuesday afternoon. are home from the
Ohio-river city, considerably worn from
the three days service in the terrific heat.
The troops reached Indianapolis early yes
terday morning. accompanied by Brigadier
General Mckee, who was in command of
the militia at Evansville. General Mckee
says the troops did splendid service at
Evansville.
Governor Durbin and General Mckee had
a long conference yesterday morning at the
Governors office. What the Governor was
told of the conditions at Evansville by
General Mckee is the only official Informal
ton the Governor has had from that city
since Thursday night. The Governor was
not in communication yesterday with any
official of Vanderburg county. At the end
of his conference with General Mckee the
cept that he wished TO compliment General
Mckee for his management of the State
troops at Evansville.
Quartermaster General Perry says the
park where the soldiers were camped at
Evansville was an excellent military camp.
All the soldiers boarded at restaurants and
hotels while they were in Evansville. The
bill for their sustenance amounts to about
$500. General Perry says. which was as
sumed by the Sheriff of Vanderburg
county.
General Mckee says there is no such
thing as mob spirit at Evansville but
that the lawabiding people there have no
confidence in The ability or willingness of
the local authorities to cope with any dis
turbance like the ones last Saturday, Sun
day and Monday nights. Members of the
Indianapolis companies say the best peo-
pie of Evansville have no voice in the city
affairs The military authorities say the au-
thorities OF Evansville simply did not take
the proper steps TO put stop to the dem
onstratiCns which resulted in Monday
nights riot.
1t is said among the troops that politics
has a good deal 70 do with the deplorable
condition of affairs at Evansville. The
Democrats have been trying to incite the
people to drive the negroes out of the city.

any possibility OF Governor Durbin instl-
tuting investigate into the causes for
the riot from the viewpoint OF the city au-
thorities not having done their duty. Geo.
B. Lockwood the Governors private secre-
tary, said Governor Durbin contemplates
doing nothing OF the kind. The government
OF Evansville is under a special charter and
the city mar ages its affairs entirely with

CUTTING DOWN LOCAL TRAFFIC.
Trolley Lines Make Serious Inroads

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
ANDERSON, Ind. July 1o.-The interur-
ban electric railways have made such a
heavy drain on the local traffic of the steam
roads In the gas belt that the steam roads
have abandoned the old forms of printed
card tickets and hereafter only the blank
forms will be used between way stations
An investigation OF the tickets showed that
in many cases the local card tickets had
stood in the racks for a year without being
disturbed. The first OF the roads TO intro
duce the blank forms is the Big Four This
order applies TO all the way stations east
and west OF Anderson paralleljng the inter-
urban. The same Is true of the business Of
the Panhandle and the Lake Erie
The through business of the steam roads
however, was never as large as now and
the freight business is breaking all previous
records.
