DEPENDED ON A BLUFF
Reason Given For Failure to Pre-

Georgia Negroes.

Savannah, Ga, Aug. 27.-Dependence
on the order, Load guns" to quell a
mob, rather han on the efficacy of bull
let's to accomplish the same purpose,
was a reason given Friday by Capt.
Hitch, of the Georgia national guard,
for his failure to prevent the murder
by burning at the stake CT Will Cato
and Paul Reed, convicted Of the muir
der of Henry Hodges and family. Mi
litiamen also told the court of inquiry
appointed by Gov. Terrell hat the
sheriff and his deputies aided the
l%ynchers.
The two sergeants on duty at the
cell of the negro murderers testified
that the sheriff told them to turn over
the negroes to the mob, as he had seen
Capt. Hitch, and had been instructed
by the captain to let the mob have
Cato and Reed.

a blow ON the jaw that sent Monroe to
his knees. Jeffries went back to his
corner after the opening round with
a sheer and a laugh on his swarthy
face, while Monroe's seconds busted
themselves with smelling salts and
restoratives. When the two came to-
gether for the second round, the laugh
on the champions visage changed to
a look of determination that BODIED i'll
TO the LINER.
Forty-five seconds after the gong
sounded, Monroe was lying on the
floor, a bloody, bruised mass of humane
ty, with Jeffries standing over him,
ready, if necessary, to put the quietus
on the championship ambitions of his
adversary. The miner was too daZed
to rise to his feet, and t~imekeepers
counted him out, but the husky al
from Southern California did not I'M
derstand that the victory was already
his, nor could Monroe realize that his
pugilistic star had so early set, and the

terrific blow on the jaw of his stag
gering opponent. 1t was at this time
that Graney came forward and ordered
Jeffries away, telling him that the fight
was ended in his favor. Monroe tot
tered to his corner with blood steaming
from his face and fell into his chair,
dazed and helpless. His seconds imme-
diately began working on him to fresh
en- him, and when he came to a reali-
zation that the fight had gore against
him he rose, and going over to Referee
Graney began to protest. The huge
crowd understood that from his pro-
testing, gesticulations, etc, the purport
of his talk to Graney, and a mighty
volume of jeering and Kissing evil
denced the sentiment of the spectators,
many of whom had placed money on
the miner that he would stay at least
double the number of rounds before the
champion. From the time the bell
rang for the commencement of battle,
to the time that the count of ten had
been uttered against Monroe, only four
minutes and As seconds has elapsed.
The first demonstrated, if nothing else,
that the world has yet to produce a
pugilist who will displace James ].
Jeffries as champion of the world.
Jeffries did not extend himself at any
time of the short contest, nor did he
deliver a blow that required the full
stretch of his powerful arm The shots
that sent the miner down were a short
arm variety that found easy lodgment
on the jaw of the man from Butte, but
behind them. which was shown by the
way the 200 pounds of flesh went down
with a dull thud.

The man from the mining district made
such an extremely sorry showing that

The two giants had not been in the
ring two minutes when it was foreseen
that the aspirations of Monroe would
be quickly disposed of.
The miner was scared and awkward,
and Jeffries, in the first round, had

Church came early to experience this
weak and worldly tendency among its
members. In fact before the organiza-

them time and time again for seeking
preferment, and for estimating people
by externalities, rather than the internal
qualities of heart and character.

The term zero, which Is used to desig-
nate a cipher and In ~meteorology the

al historian, Moritz Cantor, used by the
Baby!onians about the year 100 b. G.
This, however, is merely a supposition.
It has not been definitely established
that zero was In use any earlier than
400 A. ID. About this time 1t was used
IN India. and several centuries later the
Arabs began to employ 1t. Through
the Arabs its use became known to Eu
ropeans during the twelfth century. II

considerable time there were two par.

known as the abacists. favored the Ro
man notation, without zero or position

The general adoption OF the Hindoo
system was greatly facilitated by the
facts that 1t was explained In most of
the calendars for more than a century.
