Ocean piled High Along Waterfront

Ocean Piled High Along Waterfront
Atlantic City, \. j., Aug. Is
The Inlet here to Longport, Absccon
Island bears the marks of one of
the heaviest summer northeasters in
the memory Of the oldest inhabi-
tants.
After nearly "a hours of gale, rag
ing at a so mile gait, piling the
ocean high on the beach front and
transforming seven miles of meadow
back of the big resort into raging
sea, the storm was su5siding yester-
day, and thousands arc enjoying the
spectacle Of Neptune's rage from,
the boardwalk and piers.
The rainfall for the "a hours,
starting at $50 Wednesday until the
same hour today was 9.6S
inches, the heaviest rainfall ever re-,
corded here.
Trains were running as usual yes
terday over both the Pennsylvania
and Reading main lines, but the
West Jersey and seashore third rail-
line was out of commission.
Waves, gathering the inlet loop of
the Atlantic City trolley system and
inlet hotels, compelled the abandon
ment of car service above Rhode IS
land avenue after 8 p. N.
The high tide on the westerly side
of the island flooded scores Of boat
house homes at Longport, Margate,
Chelsea and the inlet section, and
washed boats high upon the marshes.
The tent colony in lower Ventnor
was practically obliterated after
dark.
Five flying boats were wrecked.
TIE gale picked them up as if they
were toys and battered them against
the boardwalk.

Colored Slayer To Be
Executed

Admission, Ala, November 20. -
Especial. )-Preparations are being
made for the xecution on December
of Edgar. Caldwell, the negro ex-
soldier who was convicted of the
murder of Conductor Cecil Linton
on an Oxford Lake car in December
of last year. Caldwell's case has
been through every possible legal
phase, efforts to save him from the
gallows through appeal to the su-
preme court after a strong fight in
the local court had failed 10 prevent
conviction. Only clemency by the
governor can now prevent his execu-
tion.
The case became noted one
through the Intervention of Presi-
dent Wilson, in letter to Governor
Kilby, when there appeared to be a
question if the state court or the
army should handle him. Threaten
ing letters to Judge H. D. Merrill,
who sentenced Caldwell, also fea-
tuered the case. Sheriff Parker does
not expect any interference now and
bids for the scaffold have been asked
and plans mode for enclosing the
Jail yard with high board fence.

Condemned Colored Men Must
Die, Says Arkansas Governor.
Ignores Trotter's Demand

Monroe Trotter, President of the
Equal Rights League, has just re-
ceived telegram from Governor
Brough of Arkansas, stating that all
pleas for clemency or intervention on
behalf of the eleven condemned mar
tyrs convicted as the result of their
proposed connection in the Phillips
County r.ee riots, is useless. The
Governor stated that he had person
ally visited the scene of disturbance
and was convinced as to the guilt of
the men. 1t is alleged, ridiculously
alleged, that the Negroes had organ
lied to massacre the whites," upon
the assumption, assured with. all the

Colored D Depslies Acquitted.
Atty's Scott Mollison and
Pat. B. ODonnel Make
Able Plea9for Accused

One of the most interesting riot
cases yet tried by the state came to
a successful conalusion in favor of
the defendants, ! Scott Brown and
Harris, deputy slieriffs of Cook Coun-
ty. The jury wab ont only six hours.
They were accu{ed of shooting pro-
misciolsly into sswds Of white iciti--
zens during the recent riot.
Judge Grow Unbiased.
Despite the vain attempt of the
states attorney to have conviction
by appealing to the prejudice of the
coutr, going so far as to say that if
they were acquitted, another riot
would follow, Judge Grow insisted
that the jury try the case upon its
merits. That his instructions carried
weight is evidenced by the decision.
Scott Brown was fined $1.00 and Har
ris was exonorated.
Able Legal Talent.
In addition to the fairness of the
court the defendants owe their free
dom to able legal talent they retained.
Atty. Mollinson made it is said one
of the most classical and convincing
arguments the court has ever wit
messed. Following his address Atty.
James A. Scott, nationally known as
an authority on extradition and GRIM
inal procedure succeeded in tearing
down the prosecutors argument
White Lawyers Not Needed.
Pat. o. Donnel, the fighting cham
pion for the cause of the Irish free
dom said at monster mass meeting
at the Peoples Movement Club "the
master defence put up by Messrs.
Scott and Mollinson in this case, the
fairness of most of the Chicago
the department of colored
lawyers of the new school led him
to the conclusion that colored peo-
pie did not further nedd the assist
ance of white legal talent"

Yancy Mills Facing Gallows
calls Mother

With visions of the gallows before
him yesterday, William Yancy Mills,
colored, held for the murder of Isa-
dore Gunski, Jewish tailor, and Tony
Brizzolard, fruit dealer, is now wait
ing for the day to come which he will
call life's finis. Not long ago Yancy
was nothing but schoolboy, running
errands for the neighborhood SUR
rounding his home in Palestine4xIIex
But the scene has shifted. Now
Yancy is in the county jail He has
committed murder. Like all other
wayyard boys that travel the path of
least resistance and wanted the world
but would not put up an honest effort
to obtain his share, he sought the
wrong path, the path that led to the
gallows, and now he calls to the only
friend in the world, his mother, for
assistance, to help him now.
Coroner's Jury Finds Him Guilty
Mills yesterday was formally
charged with the double murder
after coroner's jury had heard evil
dence, and was found guilty beyond
doubt.
The Evidence
Ganski and Brizzolard were both
beaten to death with an iron pipe
some weeks ago leach in his own
place Of business near Wells and Van
Buren SITS. Testimony yesterday
was that Mills hat was found under
Ganski's body and that Mills was seen
wearing Ganski's velour hat and
overcoat soon after the murder. Mills
was a porter at S38 S. State st. He
disappeared soon after the murders.
He went to Annapolis, Baltimore,
New York and Philadelphia, where he
was arrested trying osteal a yom-
ans pocketbook. Capt. Morgan Col
