Springfield, ILL.,, Aug. 19-Fear and
terror prevailed in the homes OF
Springfield negroes tonight. due to the
departure of two regiments of lnfan-
try today and the announcement that
two more organizations will be sent
home tomorrow. The efforts of the au-
thoritieS to quiet the alarm was only
partially successful and IN many d
humble home there was no sleep be-
fore dawn. Early in the evening al
most twice as many applications for
shelter within the garrison had been
received as on 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 ears were used by those
fortunate enough to possess little
money. but many of the unfortunatcs
took the road, tramping across the
country in a drizzlng rain until ex-
haustion forced them to seek rest in
corn fields or in wood lots. The chill
dren and aged who were driven to the
omen suffered most and it IS feared
that many of them will succumb to the
hardships.

is no good ground for the fear of the
negroes.

Boston, Aug. ia possible motive
for the killing of William E. Annis at
the Bayside, L. L., Yacht Club, last
Saturday, by Captain Peter c. Hams,
Jr assisted by his brother, T. Jenkins
Hams, magazine writer, may be
found in the fact that Mrs. Peter Z.
Hams had filed a suit against her hus-
band, the papers being served upon
CAPTAIN Hams in New York on Aug.
10. The fact that a suit had been filed
became known today. In her action
Mrs. Hams makes charges against her
husbands character and at the same
time she demanded in her petition that
the case itself, ar action for divorce, be
given public trial.
Information concerning the filing of
the suit against Capt. Hams by his
wife was procured from Charles H.
Libby of Boston and Winthrop, father
of Mrs. Hams, who had read the COM
plant as dictated to her lawyers by
his daughter. 1t is believed that Capt
Hams and his brother concluded that
Mr.. AnniS was behind the bringing of
the accusations and that it was AnniS
who had suggested to Mrs. Hams that
the only way she could clear herself
was by demanding that the case be
tried in open court.
In speaking Of the case Mr.. Libby
said that his daughter had been sub
jectcd to the greatest cruelty by Capt
Hams and that she returned to Ia"
fathers home on June ,. u few days
