QUIET FOLLOWS
RACE RIOTINC
IN KNOXVILLE

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, September
1.-(By Associated Press.)-Quiet
prevailed throughout the city and
suburbs this morning after race
rioting Saturday night and lesser
troubles Sunday. The declaration
of martial law last night had salu
tary effect, no disorder thereafter
being reported.
Minor disorders occurred last
night following the race riots Sat
urday night and early Sunday which
were the sequel to the storming of
the county Jail by mob intent upon
lynching Maurice Mayes. negro, &C
cused of the murder of Mrs. BERTHE
Lindsey, a white woman,
The casualty list increased Sun
day by four negroes who resisted at
tempts to search them for arms. All
were wounded by National Guards
men, two being shot and the other
two stabbed with bayonets.
Eleven hundred guardsmen of the
Fourth Tennessee Infantry, under
command of Adjt. Gen D. B. Sween-
ey, of Nashville, and Col. Ewing
Carruthers, of Memphis supplement-
ed by two hundred special police
men and rs special deputy sheriffs,
searching all negroes. Hundreds of
weapons were taken from both
whites and blacks.
The guardsmen, who were in
camp near the city for annual target
practice, searched all negroes ar
irving on trains and established
barred zone in the heart of the ne
gro districts where the worst of the
rioting early Sunday occurred. Four
machine guns were mounted at
commanding point in this district
and other machine guns were mount
ed on motor trucks ready for even
Qualities.
Union leaders called off the La
Dor day parade scheduled for to-
day and candidates abandoned all
political meetings announced in con-
nection with the campaign for mu-
nincipal Offices.
How many were killed and wound
ed remains largely a matter of guess
work. Some sections in which the
most serious clashes occurred had
not been searched tonigh and re-
ports were conflicting as to the num-
Der of casualties which may be con-
cealed there. Two men are known
to have been killel, fourteen others,
eight white and six negroes are in
hospitals One of these, four-two
white and two negroes-are not ex-
pected to survive Sixteen wounded
white men had their slight wounds
dressed at one hospital and departed
without their Identities being made
known. Many have had injuries
dressed by private physicians at their
homes.
And then the climax came when she
arrived here and found that Atlanta
was not as big as New York, he ex-
planned.
