BLACKBURN TO QUIT CANAL.
official Organ at Ancon Announces
His Decision.

Gov. Joseph c. S. Blackburn, OF the
Isthmlan Canal Commission, will tender
his resignation to the President, accord
ing 10 the Canal Record. the govern
ment's official organ. printed at Ancon,
in the Canal Zone
The issue OF October l3, which reached
Washington last night, contains a para
graph TO the effect that the governor will
rclinquish his position. There has been
considerable speculation over the future
status Of the former Senator. and upon
his arrival In Washington this week IT
was stated he would not resign.
Gov. Blackburn declined to confirm such
reports. stating he did not think II a
proper matter TO discuss in advance Of a
conference with the President.
The conclusion was therefore drawn
that the governor would remain with the
commission. which is not borne out by
the announcement Of the Canal Record.
Gov. Blackburn and the governor
granddaughter. Miss Lane. are in the
city at 17o2 Nineteenth street. They will
leave for Versailles, KY, the governor S
old home. within a few days.

One Of the most brutal attacks Of a
negro on a white girl III the history Of
Prince George County. Nd, came to a
lucky end last night in the saving of the
young victim, the arrest of the miscreant
and the arousing Of mob spirit that
forced police Of the Ninth precinct TO
take measures seldom found necessary
10 protect a prisoner from the anger Of
the community.
At $50 o'clock yesterday evening Flor
ence V. Harvey. whose seventeenth an
niversary Of her birthday will occur Mon
day, was attacked and beaten into a pit
liable condition in a lonely road leading
from Landover to Bladensburg road,
about six miles out Of Washington.
TWO men who heard her cries drove
the negro on But even as II was. when
she went 10 the Ninth precinct station
later with her father. Clinton Harvey, a
farmer, TO look at a man the police had
arrested, her face. still unwashed after
the ARRAY, was bruised. and blood from a
cut on her lip inflicted by the negroes

Angry Crowd on Hand.


Directly afterward the station received
! another message from Sheriff that a
/ crowd Of 100 or more countrymen and
| neighbors OF the Harveys had left on
train for Kenilworth. evidently 10 inter-
eept the prisoner. The patrol wagon was
| dispatched with Policemen McGrath and
Peterson and reserves were sent out 10
/ prevent trouble.
After the man had been locked I'D in
/ cell In the station house, a group OF
men from Prince George County IN
/ which were the father OF the girl and
her cousin, John Swearer. gathered about
the desk One Of them had a shotgun.
/ and pitchforks and clubs gave an ugly
| look 70 the situation. They made threats
| freely that the negro would be shot II a
I bead could be drawn on him. and the
whole tenor OF the feeling Of the people
OF the Glendale and Landover neighbor-
hood was so violent that Lieut. Falvey
took every precaution 10 prevent harm
20 the prisoner.
The cell in which ne was locked was
| hidden from the gaze Of outsiders by
| heavy curtains drawn across the win
dows. A policeman was stationed in the
/ corridor. and mounted guardian pa
trolled the house through the night.
In answer 10 the demands OF the Mary
land authorities, through the Hyatts-
Vile constable. Reybold. and Deputy
Sheriff Starneu Of Prince George COUNTY,
that the prisoner be turned over to them.
Lieut. Falvey replied he would counte-
nance no attempt to move him at
present
According TO the story told by Florence
harvey she left her home in Glendale on
monday 10 visit her cousin, Mrs John
SWearer. who lives near Landover. Late
yesterday afternoon she went 10 the post
ONCE 70 mail some letters, and started
back with several picture postal cards IN
her hand. At about the center of the
lonely stretch Of road leading into the
Bladensburg road. where trees fanked the
highway heavily on both sides, the negro
attacked her.
Struggled with Negro.
She resorted to the only defense she
had, and with her teeth and finger nails
inflicted what wounds she could. AS he
tried TO shove her face back she caught
both his hands at once In her mouth.
and, biting savagely, set her mark In one
finger of each hand.
When the negro was examined at Cas-
ualty Hospital. TO which he was taken in
the patrol in order that his wounds might
become part of the record in the case,
finger nail on one finger was found to be
bitten through, and on a finger or the
other hand was a deep incision.
The struggle was continued until the
two rescuers came up on the run and the
negro fed.
Miss Harvey was taken TO the home OF
friend, Mrs. George N. Wells, between
Glendale and Landover
After being subjected to a severe cross /
examination, the negro admitted he held
up Miss Nina Heinrichs and her mother,
Mrs Emile Heinrichs. in the Military
Road on August 10, and robbed the form
er OF s. at the point Of a pistol.
He admitted 10 Lieut.. Falvey that ne
had served eleven years in the Columbus.
Ohio. penitentiary. The police believe
many Of the recent robberies in and
about the city were committed by Miss
Harvey's assailant.
