Cumming, Ca, Sept. Two COM
panies of state militia were rushed
here today and Forsyth county was
declared under martial law by Cow
sernor Brown to prevent a clash be-
tween the white and negro inhabi-
tants.
The trouble was precipitated by a
thrashing given Grant Smith, a negro
preacher. on the public square, because
of his alleged insulting remarks about
a white woman.
Two negroes were arrested today
charged with attempted assault on a
white woman Thursday night. There
was no trouble until the alleged COM
menta by Smith was made. The preach
er was rescued from the crowd by Of
ficers and locked up in the court house.
Threats of 1ynching by whites brought
forth threats from negroes attending a
barbecue and picnic near here, of dy-
namiting the town. The sheriff and
mayor appealed to Governor Brown
for troops. Quiet was reported to-
night.
Leaving thirteen militiamen on
guard. two companies of state troops
let tonight for Marietta, taking with
them the negro preacher who was
logged and i've negroes arrested as
suspects in connection with the at
tempted. assault Thursday. One OF the
negroes, 1t Is reported. has confessed
to the attempted assault.

OF which has caused a delay of about
fifty days in the construction work
will reach here Tuesday and Wednes-
day morning Contractor Ratcliff will
place the biggest force of men at work

For weeks only a few laborers have
been employed on the work. for moth
ing could be done on the main por-
ton of the structure until this steel
and some terra Gotta arrived.
The contractor is now nearly two
| months behind with his work, caused
by the New York dock strike. The
steel, which viii reach here tomorrow,
was shipped from the Pittsburg dis
trict over month ago and lay on the
docks in New York for over three
weeks. 1t was loaded on a Mallory
| line vessel last week and will be I'M
loaded in Mobile tomorrow. The con-
| tractor will now employ not only a
larger force Of men, but will work
| overtime, or as long as there is light
| enough to see, but even with this it is
not probable that he will be able to
| complete the building on contract time
Instead of being ready to be turned

as called for in the contract, the struc-
ture will not be ready before about
| March /.
In addition to the four carloads OF
steel coming Tuesday several carloads

Practically all other material is or

steadily ahead to completion withou

The Cleveland club Of the American
league and the Toledo club of the
American Association will train in
Pensacola this winter. This was
definitely settled yesterday, when the
local baseball association received a
letter from E. S. Bernard, vice-presi-
dent of the Cleveland Baseball Assoc
citation, which also owns the Toledo
club, accepting the proposition made
recently by the local club.
The Cleveland people demand that
the diamond be sodded and that the
club house be enlarged and fitted with
hot water showers as well as other
conveniences, and that there be other
changes in the parks arrangements.
Recently business men donated a little
over $500 towards defraying this ex-
pense, and now that two clubs In
stead of one are to train here It is
believed that it will be an easy mat
ter to raise the balance.
In his letter of acceptance Mr.. Ber-
nard says that when the local associa-
ton is prepared to sod the diamond
and make the changes that he will
send a man here to superintend tho
work and have 1t done as the club de-
sires.
The pitchers of the Cleveland team
will arrive in Pensacola on March
and the remainder OF the players on
March 4. About a week later, or be-
fore March 10, the entire Toledo club
will arrive and the two clubs viii play
exhibition games at Maxent park until
about the middle Of April when they
will start north

Debosed Police INSPECTOR Says
Testimony Has Been 7ambered With

to Hayes, the latter said, embodying
Mayor Gaynor's directions that police
men should discontinue the old method
Of getting evidence against disorderly
houses from the inside of such houses,
put stop to the practice. In the
cases previously cited Hayes declared
he had disregarded Mayor Gaynor's
order.
The letter was placed in evidence.
It embodied a declartion imputed TO
Mayor Gaynor that the passing of men
in numbers to and from houses har-
boring women should be taken as evil
dence that the houses were disorderly.
This, Hayes said, helped support his
contention that in refraining from
raiding houses where there was no
such evidence, he was unfolding
Mayor Gaynor's policy.

SITUATION IN MEXICO Is
CONSIDERED VERY GRAVE

Washington. Sept. THE ordering
of two additional regiments of caval-
ny to the Mexican border and the fact
that the Madero government is con-
templating asking the United States
for permission to transport troops
through Texas to attack marauding
rebels on the frontier, has led observ-
ers to regard the situation today as
grave.
It is generally believed the United
States would permit troops to pass
through this territory as the state de-
partnnent has demanded that the Ma
dero government send federal troops
into northern Mexico to protect Amer
leans.
In the raids on the American side
the United States troops are unable to
pursue the raiders when they retreat
into Mexican territory. If the Ameri-
can defending force were supported by
a sufficient Mexican force the maraud-
ers would be caught between them and
the outrages could be stopped.
As Ambassador Wilson has strongly
urged the Mexican government to place
a sufficient number of troops in Sonora
to protect American interests, it is
assumed that the United States is
prepared to allow passage for Mexican
troops through American territory for
that purpose.
CALLS SENATE IN SESSION.
An indication that the Mexican gov
eminent is likely to make such a re-
quest is the calling OF a special ses-
sion of the Mexican senate, without
whose authorization President Madero
cannot send troops out OF Mexico. II
will be at least week before the SEN
ate can be convened.
There Is precedent for the passage
