editorial tells Of the only way to get
statehood. The gist of the article, is
that statehood can he secured only
by sending men to Washington of

legislature. That is the exactly the
stand taken by the democratic party,
and that is why LarraZolo will be
sent to Washington in stead of one

Springfield. H., Aug. 20.--Fear and
terror prevailed in the homes Of Spring

ure OF the two regiments of infantry
and the announcement that two more
organizations win be sent home caus-
ed CONSERVATION among the colpred
residents.
The mob will be here sure If those
soldiers go away they said, and dele
cations were hastily organized and
sent to the state, county and city Off
cials TO protest against a relaxation of
the military regime. The authorities
efforts to quiet this feeling were only
partially successful, and in many an
humble home there was no sleep be-
sere dawn.
Seek Refuge in Arsenal.
Scores of the terrorstricken blacks
sought refuge in the arsenal. Early
in the evening almost twice as many
applicants fer shelter had been receiy-
ed there, as oil the previous nights,
and about 300 negroes curled up in the
corners of the balcony, sleeping on the
floor or in chairs.
The exodus of negroes, which had
begun to abate. was renewed Trains
and trolley cars were used by those
fortunate enough TO possess a little
money, but many OF the unfortuhatcs

there is no good ground for the fear
Of uae negroes.

and the force that will be available to
