MOB
TAKES NEGRO
Removed from Jail and Hanged.
Sale Of Liquor and Arms Stop
ped in The City.

ATLANTA, Co, Sept. 25.-The ne
groes have begun a war of retaliation
on the whites here.
While a squad of county policemen
were riding past an alley In South At
lanta, near Clark university, a negro
institution, they were fired upon by a
party Of negroes from ambush. County
Policeman Heard was killed, three 9TH
er officers were wounded and one is
missing.
The officers and a squad Of soldiers
patrolling that section are following
the fleeing negroes Into the woods.
Two more negroes have fallen victims
to the fury of the mobs Of white men
who since Saturday have been hunting
down negroes in revenge for attacks
made upon white women by members
of their race.
The troops have been patrolling the
entire city, and all the saloons have
been closed by order of Mayor Wood
ward and will remain closed until fur
Their orders. Some white pupils Of the
State street school were stoned while
on their way to school, but a squad of
police gave protection. Police have
been stationed at each Of the schools.
Orders also were issued prohibiting the
sale Of firearms and ammunition.
The lynching of Zeb Long, a negro,
at East Point, n suburb eight miles
south Of the city, has furnished the
most exciting event of the last twenty
four hours. Long was arrested Sunday
evening charged with disorderly con-
duct. He was heavily armed and made
a strong resistance to arrest. He had
threatened the marshal of the town
and appeared to be prepared to carry
out his threats. He was taken from
the East Point jail, a flimsy structure,
after midnight and vas hanged In the
woods half Il milo from the town.
The courts have taken a hand in con-
nection with the riot of Saturday night.
In the city police court Judge Broyles
inflicted the extreme sentence Of the
law on six young white men charged
with melting riot, giving each thirty
days in Jail and binding them over to
the higher courts under $1,000 bonds.
The grand jury brought in true bills
against two negroes charged with as
sault with intent to commit criminal
assault on two young white women.
Both assaults occurred within the last
two weeks, n on CORTLAND street
and the other at Copeland hill.
The number of dead as a result of
the riots thus far Is still a matter of
uncertainty. The police have the
names Of five negroes known to have
been killed, and one unknown dead
negro Is held ut an undertaker's Office
here. ~ 1'- ttail-Aai4 f
A number of disturbances have been
reported and verified from the outlying

BANKER
Did SAY IT.

The following concerning Henry
Banker and labor appeared in this
mornings New Brunswick Press:
Henry H. Banker, member of the
Republican State Committee, and
member of the State Board of Arbi-
tration, is out with an affidavit deny
ing that he ever made the remark:
ITO hell with the unions, l can buy
them at SO cents a piece" Mr.. Ban
ker in his affidavit says that Leon A.
Thompson, of this city, and George
S. Walker, of Perth Amboy, whom he
designated as democrats, manufac-
tured the story for political purposes
some time ago, and that there is no
truth in it.
This prompts Mr.. Leon A. Thomp-
son to defend himself, which he does
in affidavit form and in a way that
makes mighty interesting reading
Mr., Thompson's sworn statement fol
lows: IN c
ITO the Daily Press:
"About two years ago or a little
less, while l was employed as a cigar
maker by Adolph May, Henry H
Banker, in a political conversation
and in the presence of several wit
nesses, did make the $ remark: 'Tc
hell with the unionsG' This was
published at the time in the Fedora
ZIONIST, of which l was then one O.
the managers, and as a result
through Bankers influence, l los
my position. The Central body o.
the unions of this city had then
and 1 presume still have on file, foul
afidavits, one made by myself, anf
the others by those who heard Bank
er's remark, testifying)to the fact al
stated. Despite . Bankers denia
made at that time, the Central bod,
took certain official action based up
on the occurrence, the results O.
which are well known to the public
and the name of Bankers firm still
remains upon the unfair list of The
local Central body off-organized la
Dor. In view of the existence fol
nearly two years of the four afida
Wits mentioned, it seems strange tina
Mr.. Banker has never seen fit unit
this late day to make an affidavit tt
the contrary.
"(Signed) LEON A. THOMPSON"
"Sworn and subscribed before me
at New Brunswick, N. j., Sept. "a
1906: H. B. COOK,
I'M. &C. of N. j."
Mr.. Thompson is a respectable un
ion workman, a cigar maker by trade
and has many friends in local labol
circles, as seems to be proven by The
action of the Central body of som
eighteen months or so ago, as stated
in his affidavit, and he seems to hav'
three additional witnesses to bacl
him up; it would appear that he ha'
the best side Of the controversy.

INDIAN TRIBES
DEMAND ACTION
Renewal of Suggestion That
Another Territory Be
Founded.
CONSOLIDATION is DESIRED
Think Maintenance Of Larger Com
muniries Would Be Beneficial to
Them.

The suggestion that another Indian
Territory should be founded for Indian
tribes or bands now scattered about
some sixty reservations all over the
country has recently been renewed. The
experiment OF the first Indian Territory
was an utter failure, and Commissioner
Leupp declares the lesson will not be
forgotten Yet tho Indians themselves
in many cases desire more consolidation
Of their interests and numbers.
The troubles with the Utes OF Nevada
illustrate this situation. These Indians
had their lands parCaled IN seYeralty
and their reserve opened a year ago.
The White River band objected to the
end Being OveTruled they objected to
their allOUments and have been making
trouble ever since. They received eighty
acres per capita besides common rights
10 a great area OF grazing lands. Now
they want to be moved away to Pine
Ridge reservation. South Dakota, and
in fact. having been denied that privilege
by the department. they did actually
bundle up their possessions. load their
wives and children on carts, and start
across the country 10 Pine Ridge.
" armed that they would not be per
mitted 70 go there. they withdrew for a
pow wow and consultation. the con-
ClusiOu of which is not yet announced

These ltes are not related 70 the
St6uN at Pine Ridge, but the tribes have
visited back and forth. as the Indians
all over the country do very e&teH-
slvely.
