FINAL TRIBUTE
=. TO SAM JONES
By Great Throng Of Sorrowing
GeorgianS Gathered in Atlanta.
BODY IN STATE AT CAPITOL
Many Thousands Passed Bier and Took
Last LOok--Casket Guarded by
Little Orphan Children.

The sorrow of Georg1ans occasfoned
by the death of the great Georgia
evangelist so suddenly stricken DOWN
was given eloquent expression in AT,
lanta Friday when thousands of Geor-
gia's sons and daughters filed with
solemn step through the corridors OF
the capitol to take a last look at the
features Of Rev. Sam Jones.
Though ne claimed Gainesville as
his home, it was peculiarly fitting
that this last view of him should
have been taken in the states capitol
and lii Atlanta, which was very dear
to MI. Jones' heart He called Atlanta
his second home, but all Georgia was
proud to boast of him and no man
can ever claim a richer share Of rev.
eTence and devotion from Georgia's
people than was his.
There was no funeral pomp, just
the steady march of mourners, the
last look with tear-bedimmed eyes and
the smothered sob which followed al
most every form past the bier.
1t was a solemn, silent crowd. Even
the younger members and there
were many children - spoke in hush
ed tones. The corridors on the lower
floors were packed. In the second and
third floors people craned their necks
to gain a glimpse of the pale face
of the dead divine.
One Of the most touching features
of the occasion was a group Of little
orphan girIs-sixteen in number, all
members Of the Methodist Orphans
home who acted as guard for the
dead. They knew no father, perhaps,
but Mr.. Jones had been father to
them, just as he had been father
to thousands of unfortunate ones, be
they young or old.
A dramatic feature of the day WAS
the tragic death of woman, Mrs
Osborne, 70 years of age, a life long
resident of Atlanta, and a great ad-
mirer of the Rev. Sam Jones. She
died from an attack of heart disease
just after she had taken last lin
gerlng look at the pallid face of the
dead evangelist
There was a great gathering about
the vault when the remains reached
Westview cemetery. 1t was then near
4 O'Clock. The hillsides near the vault
were crowded with women and chill
dren. Wagons loaded with floral de-
signs came in On almost constant
stream. The flowers were banked near
the vault door.
When the body arrived it was given
a place Immediately in front of the
vault door.
Immediately in front Of the vault
the casLet was brought to rest. The
section directly over the face was
once more removed, and for the last
time friends and relatives were given
an opportunity to look upon the
illunined face Of the dead evangelist.

OFFER OF ROAD
TURNED DOWN
The Southern's Striking MachiniStS
Refuse TO Arbitrate.
SECRET VOTE IS TAKEN
BallOting Held in the Fourteen Affect
ed Shops Decided Answer--Road
viii Now Employ Other Men.

A Washington special says: The
committee representing the machinists
of the Southern Railway Company,
who recently went on strike for an
increase in wages, has declined the
company's offer of arbitration. The
chance for amicable settlement seems
to be at an end and it is understood
that the company will employ other
men.
The machinists went out on october
and the general manager Of the
Southern at once addressed a concilla-
tory circular to the men, stating the
terms the company would agree to.
This was followed by renewed negc-
tiations between the committee rep
resenting the machinists and the COM
pany, resulting in an offer of arhi-
tration by the company. It is this
offer the committee has declined.
At each of the fourteen affected
cities a secret ballot was taken upon
the proposition submitted by General
Manager H. B. Spencer That vote
was known to enc man only in each OF
the towns involved, and after the
result had been ascertained by that
official the information was transmit
ted by wire in cipher to President
O'Connell in Washington.
Atlantans involved had no possible
opportunity to know how any city in
the section of country concerned vot-
ed. The vote in Atlanta only was
possible to ascertain, as the vote Of
the other towns was sent direct to
Washington. One man alone in At
Ianta knows how the Atlanta machin-
lists voted, and shat one man declined
to discuss the situation in any man
ner whatever.

Frightfu Holocaust Occurs IN Birming-
hem, Alabamo, Boarding iiouse.
Ten men were burned to death, two
seriously and perhaps fatally injured
and a third slightly hurt by jumping
from the second story as the result
of a fire which destroyed the boari-
ing house of Mrs. Z. 2. Watley in
Birmingham, Ala, between 2 and 3
O'Clock Friday morning.
All the victims, with two eXceD-
tions, were street car motormen and
conductors.
All the dead and injured occupied
rooms on the second story Of the
house. The flames enveloped the en-
tire building when the fire was dis
covered. and it was with greatest diff
ficulty that the persons on the lower
floor made their escape They saved
nothing and every piece of furniture
in the house was burned. The fire is
thought to have been Of incendiary
origin.

Hob and Hanged--Coroner's YER
dict, ''Died from an Inch Rope.''


A Mobile, Ala, special says: Rob-
ert Clarke, alias Dan Dove, a negro
rom Kansas City, was hanged from a
telegraph pole near the Lucedale de-
pot of the Mobile, Jackson and Kan
sas City railroad by three hundred
masked and unknown men at an early

The negro was arrested late Fri

had stolen g horse and shotgun. The
negro offered resistance, and was shot

Lucedale took the prisoner from the
posse and managed to evade Mis-
Sissippi mob bent en- lynching him.
Hinton placed the negro in the Luce

that they forced him to retrace his
steps. There is absolutely no clew
to the identity of any member Of the
mob.

IS A PROBLEM
FOR THE NATION
Negro Should Be Watched After in
the Light Of Being Wards.
BOTH NORTH AND SOUTH
Such is Import of an Address by Bishop
Walden Of the Northern Methodist
Church at Cincinnati.

The negro problem and relief for
San Francisco furnished two sensa-
tons for the Methodist ministers of
a section of Ohio at their weekly
meeting in Cincinnati Monday. AS a
result, President Roosevelt may be
asked by the Cincinnati Methodist
Episcopal Ministers Association to
give his attention to an address on
the "raoe problem" delivered by Bish-
OPP John M. Walden, if the propo-
sition before the association is
adopted
In the course of his address Bishop
Walden said:
"This country will not fulfill it's
objects until the nation comes to con-
slider its relation with the negro as
that of a guardian to a ward. This
problem is not problem of the north
alone, nor of the south alone; it is a
problem Of the nation This nation,
which is so rich and powerful, must
solve the race question itself Dur
ing the days before the war the idea
that the negro was to have when
freed his forty acres of land from
the government was freely circulat-
ed. But when the freedom came no
forty acres came with it.
"There are three things that enter
into the negro question. The thought
Of implanting in the colored man the
idea OF industry, the idea Of honesty,
the idea Of home-making. The colored
man has been charged with laztness.
The northern traveller who goes south
and comes home is filled with stories
OF the lazy colored man he saw about
the streets OF southern cities. l tell
you he saw but few. The colored man
will make a good business man and
good citizen if we only give him
the chance, but the problem is with
us, Individually, with the Methodist
Episcopal church, collectively, and
with the great United States govern
ment in a paternal sense"
The other sensation was an address
by Rev Dr. F. M. Larkin Of San
Francisco, in which he made a bitter
attack on the Methodists of Ohio,
for the small amount of money that
they have contributed to the stricken
Methodists Of San Francisco. DR.. Lar
kin said
Not only have the Ohio Method
lists failed to give money to the earth
quake sufferers of our faith, but they
refuse even to hear me, sent here for
the purpose, present the matter to
them in their pulpits. 1t is a shame,

churches all over Ohio begging to be
