Hundreds Of Shots Fired in
Fight at Laurel, Del.
lYNCHING IS PREVENTED
Sheriff Speeds Four Prisoners Away
In Auto. Fearing Attack on Jail
Negroes Started the Trouble.

| All OF the pent-up hatred between
the whites and the colored residents
OF Laurel. Del, burst forth in race
riot, which was started by the colore1
faction, in which one white man re-
| ceived fatal injury. while five 9TH
ers were shot, and another death is
feared.
Following a report that the white
man had died, the whites fully armed,
marched into the colored section of
the town, and renewal of the out
break was imminent, but the authori-
ties succeeded in restoring peace.
The dead man is Olen Stockley,
eighteen years old. He was shot dur
ing the beginning of the attack.
George Hudson, fifty years of age.
farmer of Bethel, Del, also is in the
hospital suffering from gunshot
wounds, and it is feared that he will
die
The others injured are: John
Thompson, shot in the legs while he
was shaving patron in his barber
shop; George Cannon, struck with sew
eral buckshot; James Spicer, shot in
the ear, and Edgar Qu,len, shot in
the side.
The riot started when a crowd of
colored men, made mad by liquor,
swooped down on the main street and
began firing at the spectators and 9th
ers about the public square. Stockley
was one of the first to fall. When the
whites saw this they rushed to arms
and began battle. Those who did not
engage in the fight rushed women and
children to safety and then gave
their hand in the uneven battle, for
the colored men were armed and the
whites were not at the outset
The whites, once getting their re-
volvers, rifles and shotguns. returned
the fire of the attackers, who were
armed with shotguns, and loaded their
pieces with buckshot, sweeping the
streets. That more were not killed is
unaccountabie, for the colored gang
held its place for several minutes, and
fired point blank, it appeared at the
whites.
Once armed, the whites drove the
attackers from the streets At this
time the street lights were shot out,
and from places of ambush the colored
men kept up a desultory fire, but their
shots invariably went wild, for they
could not see to aim.
During the afternoon word came
from Salisbury that Stockley had died
and several white men armed them
selves and proceeded to the >colored
section, determined to burn it and
bring the colored occupants out into
the open for a fair fight When the
posse reached house where it was
known that colored persons lived, they
found Earl Records, a fifteen-year-old
boy, holding slim Jim," colored
man, for whom a search has been go.
ing on for two months, at bay with a
revolver. Records had accosted hin:
and drew his revolver, causing the
prisoner to hold up his hands until
help arrived.
In this raid John Collins, Arthur
Cummins and George Williams, col.
ored, and Albert Hitch, white, were ar
rested. Hitch and Collins, who are in
Jail at Georgetown, are charged with
the death of Stockley Each denies the
crime and blames it on the other. At
hearing before Justice Clapham 1t
was testified that the quartet were
the leaders in the attack, and they
were committed to Jail

FRANCE WANTS DUTIES

Nati)n Cry.

At meeting OF the joint commits

and chamber of deputies in Paris, Dep

study of the American Canadian reci

variety of articles.
The commission instructed their
president to call the attention of the
cabinet to this discrimination under

Delaware Jurist Opposes the
Federal Plan.
MEANS DOUBLE TAXATION
Declares Proposed Amendment to the
Federal Constitution Is a Menace tc
the Rights of the States.

Judge George Gray, of Delaware.
to the constitution of the United
States providing for an income tax is
a menace to the rights of the states.
In letter written by him to Aus.
ten G. Fox, in New York, he dis
cusses the subject at length and comes
to the conclusion that tax of this
kind levied by the federal government
must be double taxation unless the
states give up the power to levy in
come taxes.
On this part of the subject he has
this to say:
THE proposed amendment is not a
mere grant of power to the federal
government. 1t is practical surren-
der of the power heretofore reserved
to the states. What the states give in
this instance they practically deprive
themselves of. for, as | have pointed
out, it is not a mere sharing by the
states of this power with the general
government, as the necessity of avoid
ing an oppressive double taxation
would make it necessary to the states
to yield to the paramount authority
of the national government. | think,
therefore, Governor Wilson, for whose
opinion | have the highest respect,
was mistaken in his short message to
the Legislature of New Jersey in say
ing:
They (the states) will thereby be
sharing with the federal government
one OF the few powers of taxation
which under the latest decision of the
supreme court of the United States
in that matter they may now regard
themselves as entitled to exercise to
a certain extent exclusively"
