Prominent Business Men Con-
fer With Commissioners in
Council Chamber and De-
mand Martial Law at Once.
OFFICIALS CONDEMNED
FOR DELAY IN ACTION
Should Have Acted at First
Sign Of Mob Trouble, Say
Ringer Silent and
Eberstein Disappears.

A demand for immediate de-
claration of a state of martial
law in Omaha was made by lead
ing business men in hastily
convened meeting in the city coun-
Gil chamber immeditely after the
lynching of the negro last night.
Ward Burgess, Everett Back
;ngham, R. C. Howe, L-C. Nash,
Randall Brown, Lloyd Skinner
and a number of other prominent
citizens were present, with City
Commissioners Zimman, Ure and
Ringer.
The meeting was called to make
an attempt to meet the serious
situation which faces the city.
Commissioner Zimman presided
until Mr.. Ure had been summoned
from his home, when he took the
chair.
To Protect Negroes.
Two hundred troops were re-
ported by Mr.. Ringer at the meet
ing to be on their way to Omaha
from Des Moines to protect the
colored citizens and prevent fur
ther trouble.
Up to late hour no communi-
cation had been established with
Governor McKelvie who is absent
from home. Permission to get
troops from Fort Omaha and Fort
Crook will be secured through
him.
Ward Burgess declared that he
would get the authority from
Washington to get these troops if
it can be secured in no other way.
Ringer Silent; Eberstein Gone.
Commissioner Ringer last night
would not discuss the riot. He
refused TO affirm or deny a report
that be was inside the court house
while the riot of the evening was
going on.
Chief of Police Eberstein could
not BE located after the lynching.
Mr.. Burgess declared that the
riot, burning of the court house
and lync!ling of the negro consti-
tute the most fragrant disgrace
that has ever blotted the name of
Omaha.
"But it has happened" he said,
and we must meet the new con-
dition.
Plenty of Troops. Z
~ believe the situation now
should be handled with an iron
hand. If an iron hand had been
used earlier today the riot could
probably have been avoided. But
now is no time to hesitate. Let
us have troops here and plenty of
them"
Elmer Thomas declared that a
body of armed citizens could be
organized instead of calling for
troops.
A motion was made that a state
of martial law should be declared
in the city.
Attorney F. A. Brogan object
ed to this and pointed out what
the meaning of martial law is.
1T means" he said. that no
courts can sit, no police act none
of the ordinary functions of civil
government go on without the per
mission of the military authorities,
| don't think we want to order

very serious and we need troops
