SAFE IN THE REFORMATORY.


Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
JEF'FERSONVILLE,I Ind, July Robert
Lee, otherwise known as Lee Brown, the
negro murderer of Patrolman Massey, Of
Evansville whose crime was the ostensible
cause of the riot and resulting casualties
at Evansville last night, arrived at the In
diana Reformatory little after noon to-
day He was at once examined by the
medical staff of the institution, and the
doctors reported that he cannot possibly re-
cover from the wound inflicted by PATROL
man Massey last Friday night.
Lee was removed on Sunday from Evans
vile to the new Knox county jail at VIM
cennes. where it was believed he would be
safe. Last nights developments at Evans
vile and the reported threats of the leaders
of the mob 10 go to Vincennes TO secure, If
possible, the dying negro. coupled with a
growing restiveness on the part of the
rougher element at Vincennes, tended to
weaken this belief, and this morning Sher-
iff Summit, of Knox county, order Of
Governor Durbin, boarded a b. & o. South
western train from st. Louis with the pris-
oner and three deputies, and started for this
city. Lee was barely alive, and had to be
given stimulants and worked with nearly
two hours before he could be moved from
the Jail. His removal from Vincennes
caused great relief there, where an outbreak
had been expected tonight IL the prisoner
lived that long.
When the sheriff and his party boarded
the train they entered the smoking car, and
the conductor baggagemaster, express mes
senger and brakeman were deputiZed as spe-
cial deputies to assist the sheriff and his
deputies in the event of attack. There were
crowds at all the stations, and passengers
on the train tried to see the prisoner. but
this privilege was denied by the sheriff. At
North Vernon Lee was secretly transferred
to the south-bound train, and arrival in
this city was hurried at once to the Re-
formatory. where he was Immediately given
medical attention.
Lee served a term at the institution here
from 1896 until 1901 for assault and battery
with intent to kill, committed in Spencer
county. He was then registered under the
name of John Tinsley.

TOPICS OF EDUCATORS
MANY SUBJECTS DISCUSSED IN
EIGHT DEPARTMENTS.
Three-Year Course of Professional
Training Urged by President
Eliot, of Harvard.

BOSTON, July From sessions in only
two of the sixteen departments of the
National Educational Association yesterday
the organization on this. the second day
of its 1908 convention, took up a programme
providing for meetings in eight departments
besides a general session held in the even
ing. The departments holding sessions to-
day were the national council, elementary
education, higher education, normal train
ing, business education, child study and In
dian education.
The national council discussed 'Relig-
ious Education" with George A. Coe, pro-
fessor of philosophy. Northwestern Uni
versity, speaking on contributions of mod
ern education to religion. Rev. Edward A.
Pace, OF the Catholic University, Washing
ton. d. c.. spoke on THE Influence of Re-
ligions on the Motives Of Conduct" and
Commissioner Of Education w. L. Harris.
of Washington, D. c., on THE Separation
of the Church from the School. Supported
by Public Taxes
At the session of the elementary, depart
ment the time was devoted to papers main
ly on technical subjects. with discussion
of each.
College presidents whose presence yester-
day made the sessions OF the national coun-
Gil important, to-day met in the department
of higher education. The topic was THE
Length of the Baccalaureate Course and the
preparation Tor the professional schools.
Among those who presented papers were
President Nicholas Murray Butler, of
Columbia University, President William r.
Harper. of Chicago University, and Pres
ident Charles w. Eliot, of Harvard. The
latter defended the three-year course. He
said In part: ''Inasmuch as il is the intent
of society and the interest OF the individual
that young fnen should be enabled to enter,
well trained on the practice of a profess
sion by the time they are twenty-five years
old, IT follows that the period of training
preliminary or preparatory TO professional
training should come to it's end by the
time the young men are twenty-one years
old. If We ask next, at what age a boy
who has good opportunities may best leave
his secondary school the most reasonable
answer is at the age Of eighteen. At that
age the average boy is ready for the liberty
of a college or technical school and will lsde-
velop more rapidly in freedom than under
the constant supervision Of parents or
school masters.
One of the principal addresses in the nor
NAL department was that by Prof Francis
B. Brandt Of the Central High School.
Philadelphia Trade Schools" was the
general topic in the manual training de-
partment. Arthur H. Chamberlain, prin-
cipal of the normal school of Throop Poly
technique Institute, Pasadena, CAL, was
among the speakers. The child study de-
partment topic was "Child Study" in re-
lation to elementary education"

Captain BIum's Statement.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
EVANSVILLE, Ind, July I-Captaln
Blum, of Company E, this morning made
the following statement in regard to last
nights shooting:
1.-The mob. crowding up at the corner of
Fourth and Division streets, forced the
guards back, inch by inch, clear TO the jail
gate and could not be beaten back A man
in the crowd fired a shot, which struck
soldier. Then the firing became general
from the mob and the soldiers fired in re-
turn. Orders to cease firing were given
the soldiers almost at once and as the
crowd turned in flight. No order 10 nre
was given by myself or any officer. 1t was
done spontaneously and in self-defense. The
mob had been repeatedly begged TO go
long before the firing commenced and one
soldier was knocked unconscious. The men
were given orders to fire only In self-de-
fense. Officers and soldiers greatly depiore
the shooting but they feel that they acted
only in the line OF duty.

Governor Durbin and Others Reas.
sured by kilograms from There.

The latest official news from Evansville
reached Governor Durbins office about 8
o'clock last night. Sheriff Kratz informed
George b. Lockwood, the Governors private
secretary, that everything was quiet in Ev-
ansville. He said no trouble was expected
last night, and that. from all indications,
there will not be another riot
Governor Durbin was not at his office
when this information was received. He
was at home resting. When he left the of
flee, about 5 o'clock last evening" he in
structed his secretary that he did not wish
to be disturbed last night If things remained
quiet in Evansville. When Mr.. Lockwood
informed the Governor of what Sheriff Kratz
said the Governor retired. Mr.. Lockwood
then locked up the Governors office for the
night.
Adjutant General Ward remained at his
office in the Statehouse until nearly mid
night but heard nothing from Evansville
after Sheriff kratz'S message to the Gov
ernor. By o'clock last night Adjutant
General Ward had received kilograms from
most of the companies of the First and Sec
ond regiments, which he instructed to be
ready to go to Evansville. that they had
made preparations for call TO arms, and
could proceed to Evansville on short notice.
Il don't think We will need to call out any
more companies" said General Ward. II
llllnh InOSI Oh the lTOuDie DIT EVANSVILLE Is
over now, and all the soldiers needed are
there now. 1 shall remain in close touch
with my office all night"
About midnight General Ward went to the
Grand Hotel for the night, and left his Of
flee in charge of his clerk, who remained
there TO receive any information from Ev-
ansville. No Information had been received
at O'Clock this morning.
Nothing was heard at the Governors Office
yesterday afternoon from Evansville after
the Indianapolis battalion and Battery A
left here, except that everything was quiet
at the scene of Monday nights riot and
that the citizens there do not anticipate fur
ther trouble. When Mayor Covert asked
the Governor for additional troops at noon
he said he did not think the soldiers would
be needed to quell riot, but that 1t would
be best TO send them TO Evansville to show
the mob that the authorities were ready to
put down speedily any riot or disturbance
like Monday nights catastrophe. He
thought the presence of five or six companies
of the National Guard and Battery A of
the Light Artillery, with its Gating gun
and carbines. would have a quietng effect
The same sentiment was expressed In tele-
grams to the Governor from leading citizens

night that damage thus far done would
probably amount TO more than $4,000. He
expected that numerous damage suits
would be fled against the city and county.
BY the presence Of the whole First IN
fantry, with a detail Of artillery from In
dianapolis, the city is practically under
martial law. The citizens committee has
general supervision of the city, while the
soldiers commanded by General Mckee, OF

and left family. He was shot in the

The Governor has. in addition to the
troops already here, thirty companies of
infantry and two more batteries of artillery
ready TO be poured into Evansville at a
few hours notice. The intention of the
Governor is to make a strong showing with
the troops and break UP the spirit of law
lessness. Martial law will not be declared
unless there arises additional trouble. Gen
eral Mckee said tonight the only trouble
to be feared, as far as had been given
expression, was from threats reported to
him to have been made by the leaders of
the labor organizations, who. he had been
told. made the boast, when they the
troops arriving, that they would not do a

They thought that about all they would
have to do when they reached Evansville
was TO remain there few days and then
return TO Indianapolis.

members of the battery and the rear coach
was occupied by the officers and newspaper
men. The train went to Vincennes over

TELEGRAM TO THE MAYOR.
After Governor Durbin had ordered out
the troops he sent the following telegram
to Mayor Covert:
owe it 10 the good name of their city and
State. which has already been stained py
lawlessness eliminating in deplorable
bloodshed, TO establish the supremacy Oh
the law by giving TO the civil officials the
support necessary TO the preservation or
order. The time has come When IL must
be decisively determined whether Evans
vile is capable of self-government wnen
basest of her citizenship. Further military
demonstration ought not be necessary-will
not be necessary II the people assert their
supremacy through the civil authorities. l
urge you TO call MONDAY conference OF
business men. lay this dispatch before them,
devise a programme of action, and report
to promptly what you propose 10 DO,
and what further, in your opinion, IL Is
necessary for the State TO do In the emer-
gency.
WINFIELD T. DURBIN, Governor"
At noon Mayor Covert and prominent
citizens of Evansville wired the Governor
that they had held a meeting OF leading
citizens and the authorities, ana IL was
the unanimous opinion that the best thing
to be done was to send additional troops
to Evansville.

pal Church, of Youngstown, where DR..
Van Vert, who is an expert in stone work

not aware before that stone, as well as
brick, could be used for veneering, but we
were informed that, with an extra heavy
foundation and by the aid of rods and
bolts to hold the stone blocks firmly in
place, there will be neither settling nor
cracking. Certainly the effect was very
pleasing, and a house of worship that one
would say might have cost something over
$40, 600 was obtained at a saving OF more
than one-third. We commend the invention

KING AND QUEEN KILLED.

There is fearful condition in
Servia. Wednesday night at
Belgrade, the king and queen
were butchered in the Servian
palace, Alexandra, the king, being
.shnt dow and Queen Draga, Wit.
her brother and sister, was killed
with an axe. The revolution was
planned weeks ago, and the mas
sacre was by the troops who sur
rounded the palace in revolt and
entering executed their bloody
purpose. The kings government
was objectionable to many of the
people and the military as well.
and he was charged with marry
ing a public prostitute. For these
reasons it was demanded of him
that he should abdicate the throne.
The kings answer was TO draw a
revolver and to kill Col. Naum-
vieS, who bore the demand, on
the spot. The king and queen
were then chased to the roof of
the palace in their night clothes,
where they were slain.
a new government has been
set up by the military and the
Servian people are called upon to
gather around it and lend it their
aid.-EX.
