ROOM FOR THE NEGRO,
But the Governor of Louisiana Says
He Must Keep His Place.

But the Governor of Louisiana Says
He Must Keep His Place.
In his inaugural speech at Baton
Rouge, La Coy. Newton @. Blanchard
spoke as follows Of the negro question:
Mob law and defiance of law will not
be tolerated Lynching will not be per-
mitted under any circumstances, if it be
possible for the military at the command
Of the Governor to prevent it. Sherltts
will be held to the strictest accounta-
bility possible under the law for the
safety from mob violence of persons in
their custody.
"The negro is here. He Is man and
citizen. He Is useful and valuable IN
his sphere. Within that sphere he must
be guaranteed the equal protection OF
the law, and his education along proper
lines-mainly agricultural and Industrial
is at once a duty and necessity. lie
must be protected in his right to live
peaceably and quietly, in his right to
labor and enjoy the fruits of his labor.
He must be encouraged to industry and
taught habits Of thrift.
mo approach toward social equality
or social recognition will ever be tolerat-
ed in Louisiana. Separate schools, sep
arate churches, separate cars, separate
places Of entertainment will be enforced.
Racial distinction and integrity must be
preserved.
"But there is room enough in this
broad southland, where proper lines of
limitation and demarcation, for the two
races to live on terms of mutual trust,
mutual help, good understanding and
concord. The South asserts its ability
to handle and solve the negro question
on humanitarian lines-those Of justice
and of right. We brook no interference
from without. 1t is up to the South to
handle and solve it as to furnish no oc-
casion for such interference

When police headquarters received
the first vague report Of the disaster
every source Of succor and aid was
utilized. The hospitals were notified
by telephone and each sent all avail
able surgeons, nurses and ambulances
to the scene. The police reserves OF
a half-dozen stations were hurried out
and more than fifty patrol wagons
were sent for ambulance purposes.

cursionists aboard the Slocum had
finally settled down to enjoy their ride
through the picturesque Hell Gate and
up the Sound to their picnick1ng
grounds. A brass band was clashing
out one of the latest popular airs and
the children were singing and dane
ing. Flags were flying from every
staff Of the great boat More than
one tugboat or steamboat pilot turned
around in his wheelhouse as he swept
by the General Slocum to watch the
gay and joyous crowd.
AS many of the women and children
as possible were crowded together in
thick, huddled masses on the hurricane
deck when the flames broke out. The
first sweep of the flames not only cut
off escape from this hurricane deck of
the big boat, but also burned away the
light wooden work on which 1t was
erected Many of these people who
had been sitting on the hurricane deck
must have been burned to death In
the blazing furnace which roared I'M
derneath.
Within a few seconds after the first
burst Of flame and smoke the happy
crowds of people were turned into a
mad, fighting mob. Mothers tried to
save their children and were torn from
them by other mothers in search of
their children. Men fought together
and everything was in wild tumult.
The excursion boat, wrapped in
flames and smoke and with the people

panic and distress, was finally ground

TWO MEN ROB A Train.
Northern Pacific Limited Is Held Up
in Montana.

in Montana.
Thursday night two masked men held
up the North Coast limited Northern Pa
cifc passenger train, east-bound, about
mile and a half east OF Bearmouth,
Mont. The train is the finest on the
road. After bringing the train to stop
they used dynamite on the express car,
blew open the safe and secured all or
its contents. The amount secured Is not
known, but is reported to be large. At
ter blowing out the rear lights of the
train the two men disappeared and have
not been seen since.
The hold-up was similar to the one
which occurred two years ago in nearly
the same spot and in which Engineer
O'Neal lost his life. The robbers board
ed the tender Of the engine at the water
tank at Bearmouth and, after keeping
quiet until the train had gone mile and
half, they crawled up over the coal
and covered Engineer Wade and Fire
man Reed with their revolvers and told
them to throw up their hands. Engineer
Wade was then commanded to bring his
train to a standstill and he Immediately
complied. The engineer and fireman
were ordered from their engine and with
TIC uO4d ups "CA1L DdSA ~ "AA~
car.
Before making an effort to gain an en-
trance they forced the engineer to light
cigar. The express messenger was COM
manded to open the door, but he refused.
TIL engineer was next commanded to
light stick of dynamite, of which ex-
plosive they had large quantity, and
place the lighted stick against the door
He obeyed and the force Of the explosion
wrecked the door and the engineer and
fireman wer compiled to precede the rob-
bers into the car. When admission was
gained the bandits directed their atten-
ton to the strong box. Five sticks OF
dynamite were placed OH top Of the safe
and ignited, but the force of the charge
was insignificant and another and larger
cap was used. The second charge ex-
| ploded with terrific force, blowing out
the side Of the car and throwing the
safe a distance Of forty feet. After
rifling the safe of it's valuables the rob
bers passed to the rear Of the train
and, after putting out the lights, disap-
peared in the darkness. Meanwhile the
passengers were terror stricken and had
crawled to every place which afforded a
| hiding.
