Springfield, Il1.--With 1900 Ma

capital city OF Illinois resembles an
armed camp. AS a result of the pres

but few sporadic outbreaks on the
part of the mob and these have been
quickly suppressed.

On the streets were those on their way

accompanied by soldier guards. Some

There are still many negroes left
in Springfield, but of these there are
many who are planning to go at the
first opportunity. In a week, it is
predicted, the prosperous negro col

Forty or fifty negroes now in the
employ of the various city depart
ments will be discharged. Many of
them are faithful, honest men of long
service.
Several complaints were received
from nearby villages and hamlets Of
the existence of threatening condi-
lions. The most insistent came from
Chatham, twelve miles south. The
negroes there had become fright
ened at the attitude of their white
neighbors and asked that troops be

the best plan would be for them to
come to Springfield and seek protec-

Negro Preacher Calls on
Men of His Race to Arise.

Chicago hundred members
of the congregation of Quinn chapel,
a leading negro church, were told by
the pastor, the Rev. D. P. Roberts,
to arm themselves and be prepared
to defend their homes in the event of
an outbreak here similar to that at
Springfield.
Arm yourselves and be men," he
said. IF a raging mob surrounds
your home, protect your household,
and when the man who would ruin
your family and destroy your prop
erty steps across the threshold let
him step across the body of dead
man"
He declared that America was a
cowardly nation, which, with power
to defy the world, refused to grant
protection to an innocent and de-
fenseless people, forty years removed
from slavery, because of their color.
Talks with members of the congre-
cation showed that the negroes
feared an outbreak in Chicago, and
that many of them were making
preparations for it.
