Be sure to sec and hear the Ena-

only 313 of them they make a noise
like million. They might be The
whole show out there according to
some of them. Merrymakers such
as these are hard to find. They

At 8 o'clock, If you hear fierce,
funny noises, just charge it to the

was practicing near the slaughter

worse slaughter. They need an at

around the track twice in review.
If you say nice things about it the
"Naks" will be mad and there is no
telling what might result
Queen Edna and her court of
honor will lead the long line OF
floats in the parade. You will not
be able to resist saying nice things
about the queen and her royal as

magic touch beauty on the whole
fair.
Following the queens float will
come 90 braves in regalia fit for
savages of other countries, and
then comes the Boss Mogul." Be-

floats, almost every business house
in the city being represented.
Marching in single file on each
side of the line of floats are the

STILL KILLING
THE NEGROES
(Scripps News Association. }

(Scripps News Association.)
ATLANTA, Sept. 24.-Early this
morning 200 men broke into Jail
in the suburbs and took out a
negro named Seeb Long. arrested
Sunday for carrying a loaded rife.
They strung him to telegraph
pole. Troops are in control and
the city is quiet.
All saloons have been closed to
remain SO until the danger of riot
ing is over.
A general onslaught on negroes
found on the streets Saturday night
followed assaults on women in diff
ferent parts of the city. A num-
Der Of negroes were killed, the
casualties being placed as high as
16. Probably twice that many were
injured in the clubbing and fight
ing that ensued.
The riot was started late Satur-
day night by negro woman SHOW
ing a white woman off the sidewalk.
Other incidents of a like nature fol
lowed and shortly a frenZied crowd
of 5000 was hunting for negroes.
Street cars were attacked and
negroes were seized wherever
found. In the fighting the negro
women were foremost in urging re-
sistance.
Two white women were attacked
in their yards by negroes and the
report of this attempt acted like
wildfire. Mobs began to form i'm.
mediately. The mayors appeal for
order passed unheeded and the gov.
ernor finally ordered out state
troops. Five companies were
brought out and the streets cleared
A meeting Of the governor and
leading citizens was called and
stringent measures to stop the dis
order approved.
The authorities, feeling the dan.

but ordered the men to assemble
at 6 o'clock tonight to reestablish

(Scripps News Association.)

(Scripps News Associations
BUFFALO, Sept, 24.-Prior to
the democratic state convention,
which meets here tomorrow, Muir
ply came out today with a plain
declaration for Hearst as the party
candidate for governor. Murphy Is
confident of swinging Tammany
support to Hearst.
Murphy this afternoon said:
I'VE don't care for Hearst, but
think he can win. If he does, he
will carry into Office a lot of good
democrats. We will nominate
Hearst for governor, Lewis Stuy-
vesant Chanler. for lieutenant gov
ernor, and we will get the rest OF
the ticket"
Erie county, If promised their
man will be nominated for comp
1roller, will stand for Hearst with
20 out OF q votes.
Murphy's declaration is taken to
mean that he expects to deliver
Tammany's vote to Hearst. Chan

UNIONS SORE At
SHERIFF AND
CHIEF
ulUIh ~

The work at the fair grounds be-
ing done by the electrical workers
will be completed this evening. No
more trouble has arisen since the
removal of Chief Waller and Sher-
iff Doak's Washington Water
Power police and sheriffs. If any
thing were needed to disprove the
statements of the Spokesman-Re-
view and the officers of the local
monopoly that the union men were
destroying property at the fair, the
fact that there has been no sign
of any illegal act on the part of
the union men since the removal
of the specials would seem to fur
nish conclusive evidence. The cleo
trical workers from the beginning
of the strike to the present time
have protested to the city and
county authorities against the ap-
pointing Of special police and dep
uty sheriffs for the Washington
Water Power company. They have
asked that the regular police be
intrusted to take care Of the local
situation and have shown that they
had no intention Of violating the
law. They make no secret Of their
feelings toward Sheriff Doak and
the city officials for the unwarrant-
ed appointment of special officers
for strike duty.
