POWELL DENIES COMPLETELY i
THE BROWNSVILLE RAID.

Il jes' played the part of a fool
niger. I was talkfn' though my
hat"
This was the explanation made by
James Powell janitor at the Atlanta
Dental College, when asked yester-
day about his boasts that he helped
70 shoot up the town of Brownsville.
Texas, on August 18th and I4th.
1906.
Powell insists that he was only
making up a wild story to impress
a Negro from the north. He admits
having talked with William Lawson
and James Brown, and later with w.
@. Baldwin, but afiirms that what he
told them had no other foundation
than his own imagination. He has
been in the army and was discharged
about six years ago. For the past
three or four years he has been work
ing for DR.. William Crenshaw, of
the Atlanta Dental College.
DIR. Crenshaw was formerly IN the
confederate army. He was very
much incensed over the fanciful story
told by his Negro janitor, and partic-
ularly over a letter written by Pow

ATLANTA NEGRO FIGURES.

An Atlanta Negro. James Powell,
employed by Or. William Crenshaw
at the Atlanta Dental College. f.
CURES in the testimony in a ludicrous
way. Powell, IN a vainglorious and
boastful way, told a detective Of the
war department that he was one of
the rioters. 1t appears that he was
in Atlanta all the while. DIT. Cren-
shaw states that the Negro was work
ing at the Atlanta Dental College at
the time and had no connection what
ever with the affair.
Powell himself. when seen yester-
day, made an humble confession, and
stated that he had only been romauc-
ing.
Il tell you, homes, white folks. "
he SAID when questioned by a Consti-
tuition reporter. II wuz jes' talkin'
though my hat. You know how a
fool niger will do sometimes. ]

NEGROES SHIELD EACH OTHER

That many Negroes throughout the
country now know those guilty OF
participation in the Brownsville af-
fray and are shielding members OF
their own race is the charge made by
Herbert j. Brown and Captain W. G..
Baldwin, who conducted the inves-
tigation.
Boyd Conyers charges in his state
ment that John Holloman, of Macon.
Ca, was the rlngleader. He also
mentions John Brown OF Atlanta
carolina de Saussure. OF Savannah
and others. according TO Lawson and
Brown.
A letter written by Senator For
aker 90 Conyers is included in the
testimony. In this letter Senator
Foraker assures Conyers OF his be-
lief that Conyers' testimony was the

close. observer. He and his father were
stroiling through the meadows one
morning when Clyde observed, for the
first time, some tadpoles in pond.
He waded in and cried out in delight:
"Oh, father, what are they?"
'Tadpoles, son." the father replied.
please, father, let's take them all
home with us, then come back and
find the mamma and papa, and we'n
have the whole family in our pond at
home"
The father explained how impossi-
BILE this would be, and as he walked on
a few steps large ugly frog hoped
across their path. Clyde's father said:
Look, son, perhaps there is the papa"
Clyde was very thoughtful. He
looked at the frog, then at his father,
then at himself and exclaimed:

were cut off November 27, 1907, at
Forty-eighth and Argo streets through
the alleged carelessness of the railway
company. The son, whose name is
William, was crossing the company's
tracks, it is alleged, and was struck
by a locomotive.
Joseph Ferrera, aged % years, was
killed at Burns Junction, July 1S, 1907,
by being thrown or pushed off a ca
boose, it is alleged, by one of the en-
ployes of the Chicago, Burlington &

$1,000 damages for the accidental
death.
Two broken ankles and fourteen
months in hospital are worth $4,000

ployed by the Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy. He says in his complaint that
he was hurled from a freight car at
Longmont, January 2, 1907, and was
injured for life as a result.
Niels Nelson, an extra fireman,
was, according to his complaint, hurt
in wreck of a stonc train August 80,
1907. The wreck was due, he alleges,
to the fact that cattle got on the track
and were hit by the train he was run
ming. He alleges that the company
failed to place cattle guards and right
of-way fences on the company's prop
erty and for that reason is responsible
for his injuries. He asks $4,000 dam

SUPREME COURT REVERSES Or
DER OF JUDGE ALLEN TO
PLACE TICKETS ON BALLOT.
ALL THE JUSTICES ACT
TWO OF THE SEVEN JUSTICES
DISSENT FROM THE DECISION
AS RENDERED.

Denver.-The Supreme Court Mon
day decided that the Anti-Guggenheim
and Business Mems state tickets filed
by the so-called Evans faction OF the
party should not go on the official bal
lot and Immediately after the decision
was rendered the leaders of that fac-
tion decided to withdraw the county
tickets of the same names.
The entire bench of the Supreme
Court sat en- banc on the question.
though three of the members had previ-
ously refused to act on the ground that
being candidates. they could not par
ticipate with propriety.
Justices Helm, Goddard, Maxwell,
Campbell and Gabbert concurred in the
opinion reversing the decision of Judge
Allen that ordered Secretary of State
O'Connor to place the tickets on the
ballot and Chief Justice Steele and
Justice Bailey dissented.
The proceedings in court were spir-
tied and Attorney n. Walter Dixon,
after challenging the right of the three
judges to sit on their own case, stopped
in the middel of his presentation of the
from further discussion of the matters
involved. The proceedings technically
were on the question of granting final
| ly the writ of habeas corpus praying
| the release from the custody of the
sheriff of Secretary O'Connor. In
truth they took up the merits of the
entire case on which Chief Justice
Steele and Justice Bailey, Campbell
and Gabbert were unable to agree last
week.
Attorney Charles w. Waterman ap-
peared for the regular Republican Or
ganiZation and presented the charges
of fraud that been made against the
petitions for the two disputed tickets.
| He scored the decision of Judge Allen
| in the lower court and declared that
Allen had refused to permit them to
| introduce their evidence to substanti
ate these charges. He laid particular
| stress on the portion of Judge Aliens S
| decision holding that the candidates
on the regular party tickets had nc
right to say whether or not they would
accept Endorsements from any other
party, but must accept them if given
ne dI Sueu thal ,his was the WoISl hihu
of bad law, for it made it possible un
der such a decision for unscrupulous
| persons to take any advantage they
wished of candidates they sought to
defeat.
The members of the court. after
hearing the arguments, retired to their
chambers and in a short time handed
| down their decision reversing Judge
Allen in every particular and ordering
County Clerk H.. c. Smiley and the
Smith-Brooks Printing Company to re
frain from placing the questioned tick
