the expressed wishes of Mr.. Taft, rs
well as Republican leaders generally.
THE decision to publish the names
of all contributors" said Mr.. Sheldon,
has made the matter of collecting
funds up hill work. The gathering of
funds will be done wholly under the
auspices of the national committee
and will be directed by the treasurer,
the assistant treasurer and the ad-
visory committee which is soon to be
appointed. The suggestion has been
made that state committees handle
the collections In their own states, but
this plan does not appear to be FEAST
BILE. The national committee will
have it's own agents In each state, the
men to be drawn from the influential
business men of the various sections. F"
Speaking of the probable cost of
running the Republican national cam
paign Mr.. Sheldon estimated that be.
tween $4OO, 900 and 100000 would be
needed to defray the travelling ex'
penses of speakers and that it would
cost at least 100000 to put ona piece
of literature In the hands of every
voter. He fixed the cost OF campaign
buttons at more than $75, 600 and said
that other large sums would be need
ed for the expenses of headquarters

there are other matters that will be

WILD NIGHT AT SPRINGFIELD
Three Persons Dead and Many In
lured in Race Riot.

Springfield, ILL.,, Aug. 1.-Two white
men were killed, negro was lynched,
seventy-five persons were injured and
two score houses, mostly occupied by
negroes, were burned as the result OF
an attempt by mob to lynch a negro
who had assaulted a white woman.
The dead are: Charles Hunter, col
ored; Lewis Johnson, white, seven
teen years old, and James Scott,
white, seventy years old.
OF the seventy-ive persons wound
ed probably dozen will die, having
been shot in vital parts of the body
The majority of the others were shot
In the legs or feet by the soldiers who
dispersed the mob.
The rioting was precipitated by an
assault by a negro upon Mrs. Mabel
Hallam, wife of a street railway con-
ductor. While the woman slept alone
In her home on a populous residence
street, awaiting the return of her hus-
band, the man broke into the house,
dragged her into the rear yard and
assaulted her.
George Richardson, young negro,
was arrested by the sheriT's force
charged with the crime. The victim
partially identified the prisoner.
Crowds quickly gathered about the
jail, but Sheriff Werner's force and
the police were able to preserve order
until nightfall without difficulty
Shortly after o'clock a successful
ruse was worked by the authorities
and Richardson was hurried into an
automobile, driven several miles from
town and placed on board Chicago
and Alton train He was conveyed to
Bloomington and later was taken to
Peoria.
Immediately after the darkness had
gathered crowds assembled In the vi
cinity of the county Jail. The mood
of the masses was ugly and appeals
by Sheriff Werner were without ef
feet. The sheriff offered to let com
mittee from the crowd search the jail
assuring them that Richardson wa!

stroyed by the Mob.
Springfield ILL.,, Aug. 17.-Three
regiments of troops are now on duty
in this city, following the race riot in
which three persons were killed and
scores wounded. The mob spirit seems
still to be rampant, although the gov
ernor and military authorities claim
they have the situation we'll in hand.
Negroes are hurrying from the city by
trains, on trolley cars and many of
them on foot.
Despite the claim that the mob is
held In subjection there is every
chance of another clash between the
whites and colored people, The ne
groes are we'll armed and are showing
a spirit of determination The white
people are in an ugly mood and farm
ers and men from adjoining towns
are constantly arriving.
w. III. Bowe, assistant county treas
urer, was attacked by crowd of ne
grees and badly wounded. This has
added to the excitement and resent
ment, which were already tense. A
dispatch from Decatur, ILL.,, says that
maay negro men who arrived there
from Springfield are trying to arouse
the colored people and urging them
to go back to Springfield and fight.
Several of them have been arrested
and weapons taken from them.
Bowe was wounded in fight which
took place at Fourteenth and Mason
streets. He was set on by a number
of negroes, one of whom shot him
thsough the body. The bullet lodged

kitchen were stripped and all the ta-
blsware and dishes piled upon the
blaze
The fire department made run to
the restaurant, but was powerless. Ev-
cry line of hose that was stretched
was cut before stream of water
could be forced into it. The local
companies of militia, consisting of a
company of infantry, troop of cav
airy and a gatling gun section. which
had been ordered out by Governor
Deneen, was busy with the situation
in the vicinity of the Jail and the local
authorities had no men to spare at
the scene of the Loper rioting. FL
nally in a desperate effort to restore
order the cavalry troop was dispatched
to the restaurant.
Then the rioting broke loose In seri-
GUS form. Shots were fired and the
air. was filled with missiles. Many
fell in the melee and 1t was here that
Louis Johnson met his death. After
the mob had moved to other scenes
Johnson's body was picked up In the
rear of Loper's place.
After nothing of Loper's place re.
mained for the infuriated crowd a
rush was made for the levee, which
is usually populated with negroes.
But most of them had disappeared.
Shortly before midnight the mob
broke into Fishman's pawnshop and
secured a quantity of rifles, shotguns,
revolvers and ammunition. With
these they armed themselves and
started to march the streets in abso-
lutte control of the situation.
Chain Hit With a Brick.
Eugene w. Chain, the Prohibition
candidate for. president, was making
a public address on the east side or
the river. A mob attacked negro in
the crowd and Mr.. Chain attempted
to save him. He was hit on the head
with brick for his trouble. During
the fight the negro pulled knife from
his pocket and slashed several white
| men. James Scott was struck by a
stray bullet and almost instantly
killed.
After burning many houses in the
negro quarter the mob, which became
more and more desperate as the night
passed, finally gratifed its thirst fol
blood when Charles Hunter, a negro
was lynched at the corner of Twelfth
| and Madison streets, right in the heart
Of the so called bad lands"
Troops arrived at the scene too late
to prevent the lynching. Some OF the
members of the mob declared that the
negro lynched had shot two white
| men. After riddling the body witt
bullets the mob commenced to dance
around the tree. At this point com
