RIOT NATLANIA,GA.
NEGROES and WHITES in A DIES.
PERATE Fight.
N.oroes by the Score Kicked, cIubbed
or shot by Infatuated Whites-Num-
her of Dead Large-BIaeks Are
Torn from Cars and Dragged Out of
shops-Militia Is Called Out.

Atlanta, Ca, Sept. 24,-In one of the
worst race riots known in Georgia a
number of negroes were killed and
scores badly injured by Infatuated
whites Saturday night. Reports of the
lumber of dead vary. Some place it
as high as 80.
Four attempts at assault on white
women by negroes within or near the
limits of the city wrought white citi-
gems to a high pitch of excitement.
The assaults of the day followed two
others of a similar nature, within the
week and at least half a dozen others
within the last two months, and
brought matters to a climax.
Governor Terrell has issued an or
der calling out eight companies of the
Fifth infantry and one battalion of
light artillery. This order was not is
sued until three negroes had been kill
ed and Is taken to the hospitals, five
of whom will die. These comprise
only those cases of which the police
have official information.
The mob began it's work early in
the evening, pulling negroes from
street cars and beating them with
clubs, bricks and stones. Negro men
and women, riding to their homes aft
er the work of the day, were ruth
lessly torn from the cars or attacked
on the streets. In a few cases negroes
retaliated during the early part of the
night, but after 10 o'clock they were
scarce in public places.
The fire department was called out
to dispense the mob on Decatur street,
a street most ~frequented by negroes,
and for a time seemed to hold the
crowd at bay. The police reserves
we're called out and will hold the sit
uation until troops can be modified.
The mob seemed to lack leadership,
and this doubtless prevented greater
slaughter.

Want U.S.FIGHTERS
ALL CLASSES In CUBA v INT AN
ARMED INTERVENTION.
American Mediators Under Leadership
of Taft Expect Peace Shortly -
Business Men Lack Confidence in
Ability of Cubans to Govern-Secy.
Taft Favors Giving Another Chance.

Havana, Sept. 24.-All classes are
now waiting for the conditions under
which tranquility will likely be restor-
ed in Cuba, and keen disappointment
is expressed on every side because of
the likelihood Of peace being brought
about without armed American inter-
vention. That the differences of the
opposing factions could be reconciled
was not generally believed to be pos
sible until today, when it was an
nounced hat the liberals and the in
surgents had empowered a committee
to represent them before the Amer
lean m%ediators.
1t is evident that the business inter
ests of the island have no confidence
in the ability of the Cubans to rule
themselves and now, when it appears
to be too late, they are openly favor
ing forcible intervention and possibly
annexation.
Secretary of War Taft is cognizant
of this general opinion hat peace can
not last unless it is enforced by an
American army, but he considers that
it is the duty of the United States to
give the republic another chance and
believes it will be bad policy for the
United States to keep a force in Cuba
longer than was required to supervise
the laying down of arms. He said to-
day that if the liberals and moderates
harmonic their differences the Unit
ed States must regard the compact as
made in good faith.
That peace will come as the result
of the mediation of the United States
is now believed by the Cubans, regard
less of party alliances, but whether il
will be on terms that will insure per
manent tranquility is questioned.
When the diplomatic representa-
tives OF foreign powers visited Mr.
Morgan's villa at Marianoa today Mr.
Taft significantly remarked that he
could give them no definite assurances
for peace, for the reaso that the
terms had not been put forward. This
statement was in response to an ex
preston from Cayan de Avala. the
Spanish minister, that the world ex
pected the United States to settle thu
controversy on such terms as viii
guarantee the security of foreign in
%tereStS.

Salute Is Significant.

There is considerable comment to-
| day over the fact that a salute of 10
guns was given Secretary Taft when
he visited the warships. Previously
he had been given the usual IT guns,
to which the secretary of war is en-
titled. Two extra guns "a that he
is recognized as an ambassador extra
ordinary on a special mission with
p~lenary powers from President Roose-
welt. 1t is known that he now has
been authorized to exercise his own
judgment in all matters pertaining to
negotiations and that the squadron
with it's entire force is under his i'm
mediate control.
1t now appears that Acting Secre-
the trains prepared in anticipation Of
the possible landing of a supply of
quartermaster's stores at the wharf.
The captain of the port gave color to
the report that they had been placed
there in readiness for the landing of
men. The stores consisted of tents,
foorings, poles, pegs, water barrels
and $50, 900 rounds of ammunition.
Captain Coudens said that if no occa-
sion arose for the use Of these stores
they would be placed aboard the sup
ply ship Celtic when she arrives.
In the rebel camps are thousands of
negroes, to whom revolutionary life
Is easy as compared with labor on the
plantations. Some of the more refined
of the officers, however, admit that
they will not be sorry to return to
their homes.

Bitter Race War.

The disturbance here has taken the
form of an active and bitter race war.
The barber shops where negroes
were employed next became objects of
attack. One of the hardest fights of
the night took place about the post
office. A negro barber shop across
the street was the object of attack,
and in less time than it takes to tell
Il the shop was wrecked and the ne
groes were beaten, n to death, the
other proprietors escaping by the aid
of the police.
On Peters street a hard fight took
place. This was started by a negro
shooting at the crowd below from a
second story window. A bullet hit
him and he fell back and died In a few
moments. One negro who was found
with a pistol in his hand was beaten
to death on the viaduct, in the center
of the city and a block from the Asso-
ciated Press office.
Colonel Clifford Anderson, of the
Fifth Georgia regiment, is in charge OF
a squad of 100 militiamen, %patrolling
the center of the city.
All reserve police are on duty, and
are patrolling the streets armed with
rifles. A heavy rain has begun and
this has cleared the streets.

Nearly "a hours have elapsed since
a race war of no mean proportions be-
gan in Atlanta. 1t is believed that at
least 16 lives have been sacrificed and
the number of injured will be 40, sew

Another Riot Monday.
The reports of slaughter in various
parts of Atlanta since the sun went
down, after the most careful investiga'
ton possible, have sifted down to one
fight letween a number of county po'

number of negroes. In the fight, which
took place in South Atlanta, in the
Vicinity of Clark university, a negro
lnstution, a county policeman, james
L. Heard. was killed. Four other
officers were wounded and three police
men were missing at last report.

St John, Ind, Dec 17.-John Miller,
jr., opened his new hotel and saloon,
here today. With its occupation one
OF the Oldest landmarks in Lake coun4
ty has been replaced by a modern
hostelry comparing favorably with the
best in the country. The new build

apparatus, acetylene lights, hot and
cold water pressure throughout the
building and other luxuries that were
never known when the present site on
which the new hostelry stands, was
occupied by the old St. John House.
The st. John House was known to
everybody in olden days who made the
trip from the south part of the county
to Chicago, but gained it's reputation
mainly in the hands of the late Bernard
Schefdt.
Both the Miller hotel and the st.
John House are known to everybody
in the township as being the corner Of

ROLLERS AT GARY MILLS
WILL RUN BY ELECTRICITY.
New Departure in Steel Rolling VIII
be the Operation of Machinery by
Induction Motors of 5000 Horse
Power.

This viii be the first steel plant IN
the United States to operate its rolls by
induction motors. the most severe work
to which motors could be put because
the load is thrown suddenly on when
the rolls first take the hot steel, in
stantly subjecting the machine to ex-
cessive strain. The induction motor is
best adapted to this work as in addi-
tion TO the absence of commutator and
sparkling, the motor can be built like
one solid piece enabling them TO with
stand the severe strain without injury.
The induction motors in the rail mill
Will be of special interest because Of a
new method of control designed by the
General Electric company
Six motors, from 1000 and 6.000h horse
power, will be used to drive the main
rolls. Each motor will be equipped
with heavy f1y-wheel which will store
up energy in momentum when running
normally. BY a system Of slip relays"
the speed of the motor is reduced when
sudden heavy demand is made on the
motor by the rolls thus permitting the
fywheels to assist. This is the first
time the slip relay device has ever
been used in this country.
