His proposition is to change places
with the prisoner for 100000, to be
placed in the hands of an intermedi-
airy, he to run the risk of the death
chair or Matteawan. The letter was
accompanied by photographs showing
likeness between the writer and the
prisoner. The letter is sanely written
and goes into minute details of the
proposed escape. The double, it is
proposed, is to visit Thaw wearing a
wig and a disguise that can be easily
changed from one to the other The
writer says that he is not making the
proposition to kill time, as he is a
married man and has Il family. but
has been a failure in life. The com
munication was turned over to her
husbands counsel by Mrs. Thaw.
One of the proposals made is that
from Staten Island hypnotist, who
offers for sum of money to put q
Quietus on District Attorney Jerome
and ruin his summing up by telepathy.
Another is from Il ventrloquist who
for Il fee will sit in the courtroom and
when the foreman opens his mouth to
pronounce the verdict of the jury will
throw his voice in his direction and
pronounce Thaw not guilty. He guar
antees that this will at least result in
mistrial.
Cranks anxious to marry Evelyn Mes
bit Thaw if her husband goes to the
electric chair or to the madhOuse have
put in 122 applications so far.

NEGRO Business LEAGUE
TWO IMPORTANT AND GREAT
OCCASIONS

The National Negro Business
League is to meet in Baltimore, Md,
August 70, 20 and 2I. Great num-
bers of representative Negroes are
coming from all parts of the coun-
try for this meeting. Many of them
will come to Washington. On Au-
gust 24 it has been arranged to in
vite these visitors to join with the
people in Washington in a trip down
the Potomac River to the new Wash
ington Park, which is to be formally
opened and dedicated at that time.
Mr.. Lewis G. Jefferson, the proprie-
tor of the steamers Jane Moseley
and the River Quen, has given the
use of his steamers for the benefit
of the Frederick Douglass Memorial
Home Fund. Ali the profits of the
trip are to go toward this fund. More
detailed information will appear from
time to time, and it is hoped that
each of these occasions will contrib
ute toward the success Of the other.

Negroes were known to be partners

would surely have met the same fate
of his fellows had not officers cap
tured and spirited him to San AT
gustine after making a confession that
he had been given FIVE dollars by
Robert Wright, Johnson's brother-in-
law, to kill Johnson. Wright was
then arrested and is now in jail at
Center, Tex.
The jail is guarded heavily, as the
rumor has gone abroad that a mob
of white men has captured a Houston
east and west train and is forcing
the engineer to run to center in or
der that they may take Wright and
Price and hang them.

spokesman.
"You can't have them" replied the
guard.
"Well, by G., we will take them, u
was the answer.
With a savage cry the mob attack
ed the doors. Other guards rushed
out, but were overpowered after max
ing futile resistance.
Into the jail the mob broke, and,
rushing to the cell in which the six
Negroes were confined, they smash
ed the door and seized the blacks.
One hundred yards from the jail
grows clump of huge live-oaks. As
they reached these the leader spoke
again.
"Niggers, say your prayers"
Seven minutes were allowed, and
seven ropes descended over the Ne
groes' heads, one after another. One
broke and ran. Immediately a fusil-
lade of lead followed him, and he

ing with all her might. White men,
raiding the countryside for Negroes,
heard her. When they reached her
she was sitting beside the body Of
her husband, insane.
1t was then that the white avengers
went forth, and soon the crack of
their pistols portended that death had
been visited on someone. Later the
bodies of three Negroes - Singleton,
Evans and Thomas - were found.
Already charged with having a
hand in the death of Dean, the three
Negroes had met, swearing vengeance
when they encountered the white
men.

to swear in fed at his approach, fear
ing that they would be cheated of
their revenge.
The frenzied hatred against the
Negroes came as the result of the
shooting or a white mar by Negroes
week ago. At Negro dance on
June I3 William Stimson, white
man, became involved in row with
the Negroes and was killed with ra-
zor. Two Negroes were arrested for
the crime.
Last Saturday night Hugh Dean,
one of the best-known white farmers,
was also killed at a Negro dance. 1t
was proved that he was merely riding
by when drunken Negroes set upon
him and stabbed him to death.
Six Negroes were arrested and i'm
prisoned in the Hemphill jail. a sew
enth is still at large and reward OF
$3.50 is out for him.
Negroes and Whites Arm,
The passion stirred up by the kill
ing of Stimson and Dean within a
week was increased by the fact that
Negroes grew bold and began to
flourish weapons. Six-shooters were
prominent and open threats made OF
what would be done in the event that
the white men showed any open ami
mostly toward the Negro.
The farmers of the vicinity armed
themselves with rifles and shotguns
and pistols and started on systematic
hunt after every Negro Of known bad
tendencies.
The county peace officers found
they were powerless to cope with the
situation.
Hurried appeals were made to the
Governor, and a squad of Rangers
was ordered Immediately to the
scene.
The Houston Light Guards OF
Houston were intructed to hold
themselves in readiness to take spe-
cial train and will leave tonight.
This was the situation when the
news went broadcast that Aaron
Johnson, another white farmer, had
been shot down while sitting on his
gallery with his wife and boy and
baby.

STATEMENT.

Word has been received by lead

op 7. w. Hood, the senior prelate OF
the A. NJ. E. Zion Church, is not
pleased with the tendency Of the ed

Church Of Varick over into the Dem

the Zion denomination, and must rot

six hundred thousand souls. Bishop
Hood declares that at the proper
time he will issue a statement OF his
views on the political situation, and
makes it plain that he will urge the
Negroes of the country to stand up
as one man for the election OF Judge
Taft.
