Buffalo, N. Y, September 24.-Lewis S..
Nixon of New York City, former leader
OF Tammany hall, was tonight chosen as
temporary chairman of the democratic
state convention, the first session OF which
will be called to order here at noon to-
morrow. Mr.. Dixon is a delegate to the
convention from the district OF Charles
f. Murphy, the present leader of the
Tammany organization.
The naming of Mr.. Nixon as tempo
rary chairman is regarded as clarifying
the situation to some extent, though none
of the factions will admit that his selec-
tion means even a temporary setback to
their candidate.
The former Tammany leader Is claimed
by the advocates of William R. Hearst to
be friendly to their candidate for the gov
ernorship. The temporary chairman has.
however. made no public declarations of
his position.

Atlanta, September A.-(Special. TO-
nights events proved that Atlantas race
troubles are not over.
About Q o'clock county policemen in
South Atlanta were fired upon from am
bush by negroes and as a result one Off
Ger was killed and four wounded.
In the battle which followed twelve
negroes are believed to have lost their
lives.
Later two negroes. who had been ar
rested made dash for liberty. were pur-
sued by a mob and shot down on the
doorstep of a prominent citizen. Mrs.
Robert Thompson. who witnessed the
scene from her front porch, dropped dead
from excitement.
The fight in South Atlanta between the
officers and negroes was one of the most
thrilling recorded IN years. Reports of
the number of negroes killed vary from
ten to fifteen.

Montgomery. September 24-(specs
The two races can never get alol
there is an understanding on the TT
of both to make common cause with the
law-ablding against criminals of any
color" Thus spoke Governor Jelks to-
day, discussing the Atlanta riot. He con-
tinued:
THE lynchlng of any person for what
ever crime is inexcusable anywhere-it is
a defense of dlsorderly government; but
the killing of innocent people under any
provocation Is infinitely more horrible;
and yet innocent people are likely to die
when mob's terrible lust is once
aroused
''The lesson is this: No good citizen
can afford to countenance defiance of
the statutes, no matter what the provoca-
tion. The innocent frequently suffer. and
It is my observation. more usually suf-

sr than the guilty. The white people of
the south indict the whole colored race
on the ground that even the better ele-
ments lend no assistance whatever in
ferreting out criminals Of their own
color The respectable colored people
must learn not to harbor their erim-
inals, but to assist the officers in bring
ing them to Justice This is the larger
crime, and 1t provokes such atrocious Of
fenses as the one at Atlanta. The two
races can never get on until there is an
understanding on the part of both TO
make common cause with the law-abidlng
against criminals of any color. 1t is la
mentally true that this sentiment does
not control the negro race in the south.
There must be a better understanding,
or know not what will happen.

have been for few years, or during my
time in this office, almost free from the

is the name most frequently given to
questions concerning the gubernatorial
nomination of the republican state con-
vention. The refusal of Governor Hig-
gins to accept a denomination has un-
settled things, and now all efforts are
being put forth by the leaders to form
new lines, to make readjustments and to
secure a ticket which can be nominated
by acclamation. Harmony is desired and
harmony means "a slate without dis
turbance such as would be created by
several ballots for governor.
To make this SLATE" an agreement upon
a candidate is necessary.
The outlook tonight is that 1t may be
some time before any definite results are
an agreement may be delayed until some
thing definite Is heard from Buffalo.

statement was prompted by questions

is in part follows:
I'm answer to your question: Cannot

made just as effective as the terror of
rioting and mob rule?'
1T can be. provided the Fifteenth
amendment shall be repealed and the

ments of the negro"

for social equality. and while they would
not perpetrate the crime they will give
the criminal all the protection from the
penalty of the law within their power.

MUCH SPECULATION
OVER START OF RIOT
Seizing of Woman's Pocket5ook BY a
Negro In Heart Of City Seems
to Have Started Trouble.

Atlanta, September 24.-(Special)-Ther
has been good deal of speculation as to
just how the rioting of Saturday night
began. 1t started right in the center OF
the city, near the corner of Decatur and
Peachtree streets. The usual Saturday
night crowd was assembled there, and
nothing special was thought of 1t.
According to what seems to be the best
authenticated report shortly after .
o'clock negro man in that section OF
the city grabbed white womans pocket
book. Two white men caught him and he
made show of resistance Several negroes
came to his rescue and there was a gem
eral mixup. The negro managed to get
away but was chased by the mob. &
From this the attacks on negroes be-
came general, and they were soon driven
everywhere from the streets. The word
was passed along and the mob was aug
mented until at the time the fire depart
ment was ordered out to turn the hose
on the crowd there were some 5000 men
assembled around the junction of Peach
tree, Marietta and Decatur streets.
Shots Give Crowd Courage.
Several shots were fired in the neighbor-
hood of Decatur and Piedmont avenue.
to frighten a fleeing negro. This gave
the crowd courage and firearms were
brought into play elsewhere, the mob
soon realizing its strength and power.
Probably the total number of dead will

IMPOSSIBLE TO SECURE
BODIES oE NEGROES.

Owing to the extreme darkness, the
woods, and the general excitement, how
ever, it was found impossible to secure
the bodies Four negroes who are charged
with the shooting, however, are now in
the hands of the county police. They were
placed in the tower for safe keeping.
The members of the county police were
notified that the negroes were holding
an incendiary mass meeting and they
we're asked to stop 1t for fear the ne
groes would become excited and further
trouble would result Eight men were
sent to the scene by the authorities and
arriving there arrested eight negroes in
the crowd and started back to Atlanta
with them in charge.
When they had proceeded short space
and were on South Pryor street, in South
Atlanta, they were suddenly fired upon
from ambush and In a moment the worst
battle of the year was on The officers
realizing that an attempt to rescue the
prisoners was being made, did their best
to prevent the success of the scheme.
But the negroes had the advantage of
the woods and the better light
HEARD SHOT FROM SADDLE
AND BODY is RIDDLED.
First Officer Jim Heard was shot from
his saddle and his body riddled. Then A.
C. Eubanks received serious wound
Then Bearan was hurt and Odum fol-

jured was Officer Frank Jordan. He put

When he found that officer Heard, his
partner. was dead. he grabbed up the
dead body and using it as a shield fred
from behind 1t at the mob of blacks. Be-
fore the battle ended he had killed three
or four negroes.
Before the battle started the posse of
seven had been reinforced by three citi-
gems and two other officers, so in all there
were twelve in the party. The negroes
could not stand for the heavy and con-
tinued firing and they finally gave up
the fight and took to their heels and were
lost in the woods. In the meantime the
prisoners had managed to get free from
the officers in many instances. but in
others the officers held onto their prls-
oners and in all four negroes were sent
TO the tower for protection 1t is claimed
that one of them is the negro who killed
