well that public anger has moi. been
cooled by recent happenings. and that
any order restored under present eondi-

Interesting to degree is the view
point of administration partisans, terse-
ly expressed through an interview with
a man prominent in the local business
world, who said.
Several ingredients combined to
form what was the mob mind unified
for violence and destruction There
was consciousness OF the strained rela-
tions between the whites and the
blacks. Race prejudice was accentu-
ated locally by the admitted attacks
upon white women, for none OF which
the cuprt has been punished or Ger.
tainly caught. These events created
bitter feeling against negroes in the
several parts Of the CITY.
Then with considerable element
there is the dangerously prevalent CON
tempt for authority all over the world,
including the United States, the feeling
that established institutions Of whatev-
er sort are inadequate or corrupt or
open to the temptation to show favor
itism in the minds Of a few Of the
mob was hostility to the police admin
