Springfield, ILL.,, Aug. 21-The local
authorities have begun the task of
overcoming the handicap on their eff
forts to fix responsibility for the re
cent riot caused by the failure of the
coroner's inquest to hold any one re-
sponsible for the death of Scott Bur
ton, the negro lynched in the "black
belt" last Friday night. The open
verdict of the coroner's jury was
blow to the hopes of the states attor-
ney and other off Gals, who saw in it
confirmation of the suspicion that wit
nesses to the rioting would fail to
recognize leaders of the mob when
called upon to testify in public pro-
ceedings. OF the four witnesses upon
whom Coroner Woodruff had depended
for the success of his first riot inquest
only one appeared on the stand That
witness displayed an unusually poor
memory when confronted with incisive
questions and the absence of the other
three made the coroner's task futile
The departure Of all except two
regiments of the state militia caused
a renewal of the threats that there
would be something doing after the
soldiers leave" and this feeling was
reflected in the anxiety which was
manifest in all circles of the city, In
fact a renewal of the rioting is ex-
pected momentarily and the negroes
especially fear that once the mob is
started again no power of the state
can prevent the most serious disor.

roundhouses caused marked ten
dency on the part of the firemen to
walk out. Opinion differs, however,
as many firemen do not think at this
time it is quite right and so in order
to learn the feeling of the majority a
secret poll is being held.
General dissatisfaction is also felt
by engineers and trainmen and, &C.
cordingly, the chiefs of the local En-.
gineers' and Trainmen's unions are
now in the East. Running conditions
are reported to be unsatisfactory and
engine men are not in a friendly
mood.

JOHNSON Will
MAKE The RACE
Minnesota Governor Accepts
Third Nomination.
REGRETS ACTION TAKEN

Says His Acceptance Is Against His
Better Judgment, but Duty to His
Party compels Him to YieId-Has
Been Declared the Nominee and
Will Put Up the Best Fight in His
Power.
st. Paul, Aug. Ex-Governor John
son has announced that he would &C.
cept the nomination Of the state DEM
ocratic convention at Minneapolis. He
said:
"Setting aside any personal consid-
Grafton and my own feelings In this
matter duty to party compels me to
make the race, but I assure you it is
against my better judgment.
Il have given this matter the closest
thought and my first opinion that a
third nomination is unwise and against
the principles of the party is I'M
changed, yet I can hardly see how I
can get away from making the race
without putting the party in hole.
I regret this action and wish it never
had happened.
Had committee been named to
inform me of the honor conferred and
asked my acceptance my answer
would have been prompt, but no such
opportunity has been given me. The
nomination has been made, I have
been declared the nominee and so
there you are. 1t really leaves me in
an embarrassing position and with the
party in similar position, SO you see
the only thing can do is to yield"
An effort was made to secure the
governors opinion on the reception of
his acceptance by the public at large
following his original declaration to
the effect that he would not have the
nomination under any consideration,
but he could not be drawn into any
argument.
II do not care whether it makes me
votes or loses me votes" said Gov
ernor Johnson. 81 said I did not want
the nomination, the convention has
forced it upon me and now I will put
up the best fight in my power. I owe
much to the party and if it thinks I
am necessary to it's success why
cannot do anything else but yield. It
has left me without any other alterna-
tive in the matter"
