LYNCH LAW DEFENDED.

Unique among all summer gatherings
is the "mob conference" now in progress
at Chautaquua, n. Y. The increase OF
mob spirit, shown by feuds, lynchings,
riots. assassinations, and other lawless
happenings, gives great Importance to
this conference. Among yesterday
speakers was John Temple Graves, OF
Atlanta. Ga. He defended lynch law as
a remedy for the crime of rape, holding
that though lynching is a crime, it is
justified by the crime which provokes it
and will never be discontinued until
that crime is eliminated The remedy
for lynching must be the elimination OF
the crime Of rape, and this, he maintains,
could be done only by the separation OF
the two races in the United States.
"The problem of the hour is not how to
prevent lynching in the South, but the
larger question: How shall we destroy
the crime which has and always will
provoke lynchingY The answer which
the mob returns to this vital question IS
already known. The mob answers it
with the rope, the bullet, and sometimes,
God save us, with the torch. And the
mob is practical its theory is effective
TO a large degree. The mob is today
the sternest, the strongest, and the most
effective restraint that the age holds for
the control of rape. The lyncher does
not extermiuate the rapist," Mr.. Graves
contended, "but he holds him nightly
in check" AS sheer, cold,
patent fact, he said, the mob stands to-
dav as the most potential bulwark be-
tween the women Of the South and such
carnival of crime as would infuriate
the world and precipitate the annihlla-
ton of the negro race. The masses Of
the negro, he held, are not afraid ol
death coming in regular way. 1hey
love display, and the spectacular element
of trial and execution appeals to theli
imaginations. Expeiiting the processes
of the law would not be adequate to
eliminating lynching. The repeal Of
the amendments and the establishment
of the negro's inferiority in law and
society, said Mr.. Graves, though deslr,
able, are not sufficient, ''for the negro,
he added, sis a thing of the senses, and
with this race and with all similar races
the desire of the senses must be restrain
ed by the terror of the senses, if posi-
ble under the law" No influence o.
suppression so mighty and effective
could be brought to bear as law max
ing amputation the penalty for the crime
of rape. But this, like curfew edictsi
separate laws for white and black, or the
treatment Of the crime Of rape as separate
and outside of all other codes are bui
expedients, he maintained. There is nc
real remedy but ore. No statute viii
permanently solve this problem. Re
ligion does not solve it. Education com
plicates it. Politics complicates it
"The truth which lies beyond and above
all those temporizing expedients, h'
concluded, sis that separation is the
logical, the inevitable, the only solution
of this great problem of the races"

WHIPPING OF MAMIE DECRIS.

No longer in awe of Warden Allagood
and the latter's wife, Mamie Decris de-
clared yesterday afternoon before the leg
islative committee in Milledgeville, Ca,
that it was not because she had been i'm
pertinent to the wife of the warden that
she was whipped, but because Warden
AllagoOd had made indecent proposals to
her aud because she refused to obey him
that she was beaten more cruelty than
any female convict has ever been whipped
in the history Of the state convict camps.
cat first l was treated Just as though a
member of the Allagood family" she de-
clared. "Then this man made his pro-
posal to me. / scorned him with all the
vehemence and earnestness of my soul.
From that moment his treatment from
that of gentleman changed to one of
brutality and cruelty impossible to de-
scribe" She declared she had found him
and Roxie Collier in a compromising
position. "About June lst, ," Miss Decris

At the request of members of the com
mittee, Miss Decris showed her back
with the stripes still unhealed. She also
told of an attempt to committee suicide
in order to escape Warden Allagood.
She said she climbed upon the roof OF
the barn for the purLose Of throwing
herself to the ground and thus end her
miserable existence. She explained her
failure to kill herself by saying that as
she prepared to jump rat ran under
her skirt and she sprang to one side fall
