BOTH DISCHARGED
MOtOrman and Conduct
or Held Not 'Blameable
FOR FATAL ACCIDENT

Conductor w. E. Baker and Motor
man Robert McHolland were cleared
Of all responsibility in connection
with the death of Mrs. w. A. Thomas
who was struck last week by an
Edgewood car in charge Of these offic-
ials, sustaining injuries which. re-
suited In her death, when Judge Mac
Corkle dismissed the charge Of rum
ming at an excessive rate of speed, -,
which was held against the street car
employees by the city.
=. Immediately following the death
of Mrs. Thomas last Friday, Judge
MacCorkle stated that a rigid exami-
nation would be made by the city to
see If the traction company or it's
employees we're at fault. The charge
Of violating one of the city ordinan-
ces by running at an excessive rate of
speed was preferred against Barker
and McHolland and'the case came up
for trial this morning in police
court.
Although the police had made an
investigation only one witness was
produced by the city who was near the
scene of the accident which occurred
on Charleston street. Mr.. Nat Cav
endar testified that he was near, but
could not determine the rate Of speed
at which the car was running for
the reason that he was standing in
front Of the approaching car. Barker
and McHolland both testified that
that were not running at high nor
an excessive rate Of speed and stop
ped the car in 48 feet or two car
lengths.
The relatives OF Mrs. Thomas took
no part in securing evidence against
the motorman or conductor, and the
city failing to make a case, Judge
MacCorkle dismissed the charges.

:UKASE
Issued Sby Governor Vardaman,
7 .>: of Mississippi T. f..
Calls on Officers to Suppress Negro
Crimes, Even if They DO Vio-
~ late Constitution and
..E... State Laws.

jackson, Miss, November Gov
Vardaman today gave out an address
to the law officers Of the state urging
them to diligent efforts to suppress
crime among idle Negroes. ..
The governor says that nine-tenths
of the Negroes in Mississippi 60 con-
tinually armed with the best kinds
of pistols, and carry them for the
purpose of committing crime. He de-
clares that the increase in crime
among members Of the race is due
to the cocaine habit and blind tiger
evils, and he expresses the hope that
the next Legislature will close evry
saloon in the state. g.
He urges the officers to be contin-
ually on guard and search all sus-
picious-looking Negroes.
+ The proclamation Of Governor Var
daman is most sensational. He ad-
vises the officers of the law to put
down crimes of Negroes in the state
even If they have to violate the law
and the constitution of the United
States in SO doing.
~ THE races are not alike" he de-
clares,' "and the law cannot make
them alike, nor is it possible to treat
them exactly alike before the law.
1T has never been done, and it is silly
and criminally absurd to try to do
IT,
After dwelling upon the recent
outbreak Of crime in Mississippi, and
declaring that the situation in the
state Is most grave, Governor Varda-
man advises the officers of the law
to search every Negro on the high
ways, to see whether or not he is car
rylng gun, and If so arrest and con-
Wet him. He further commands them
to make every Negro in the state
prove that he is employed, and If he
cannot do SO to put him to work on
the state convict farm. All Of the
White citizens are enjoinsd to assist
the officers in this work. ... -. .>.s....
Concluding his ukase with a fling
at his northern critics, Governor Var
damaif- declares that-"J ustiee to-the
Negro does not mean that you must
treat him In all matters, even in the
enforcement Of the law, as you would
the white man. In spite OF the pro-
visions Of the federal constitution
the men who are called upon to deal
with this great problem must do that
which is necessary to be done, even
though 1T may have at times the
appearance Of going somewhat with
out the law"

BAPTISTS IN TROUBLE THROUGH
TILLMAN'S SPEECH.

Denver, Colo, November 2.-The
recent speech of Senator BENJAMIN
'T1llman on the Negro problem,
which occasioned so much excite
ment, will probably result In the
doors Of all the Baptist churches of
the city being closed hereafter to all
speeches other than Of a. religious
nature.
Because the senator spoke In the
first Baptist Church, members of
the faith say, the impression has er-
roneously gained ground that the
Baptists indorsed his utterances, and
the pastors Of that denomination fee,
that the easiest way to avoid being
placed in that position again in the
future will be to refuse to allow
their church buildings to be used for
such purposes.
resolutions have also been adopt-
ed by the pastors in which. refer
ring to his blatant infidelity, thew
express their disapproval of Senator
Illlman and his speech, and regret
1t was delivered in a Baptist church.
When the question was brought
up yesterday at the regular meeting
Of the Baptist ministers Of the citv,
by one Of the colored pastors, the
trustees Of the First Baptist Church
explained their action In renting the
editlco by saying 1t was done az q
