St. Petersburg, Aug. 27.—The “Red
Leaders" are abroad In Russia. The
official world Is panic-stricken, but It
Is much more probable, according to
competent observers, that their panic
will take the direction of bloody re
prisals rather than the granting of
concessions.
The bold assassination of General
Min, commander of the Semlvosky reg
iment. by a young girl, In the presence
of his wife and children, the futile at
tempts on the life of General Kaulbars
at Odessa, which failed only by an ac
cident; the discovery of the terrorists
with bombs In the grounds of the czar's
palace, evidently Intent on carrying out
the death sentence against bis majesty,
all following close on the heels of the
dreadful occurrence at the palace of
Prime Minister Stolypln, Is all elo
quent evidence that the campaign of
assassination Is In progress and that
the threats of the terrorists are being
carried out In deadly earnest.
Widespread Plot Found.
Premier Btolypln .Is In, strict retire
ment for the present, but he Is said
to have urged the czar to resist the
demand of the reactionaries, headed by
the grand dukes, for a military dicta
torship. ft Is urged that the f6rmer
program be put Into effect as the only
alternative for civil war and worse
outrages.
His two children who were wounded
are "regressing favorably. The young
woman who killed General Min de
clares she killed him for his many bru
tal acts towards the people.
It Is stated today that the police
have discovered In the papers of the
perpetrators of the Stolypln massacre
evidences of a widespread plot.
An attempt was made today to as
sassinate General Staalon, comman
dant of the Imperial palace at Peter-
hof. A man who commlted suicide at
the Hotel St. Petersburg, left a lettef
saying he had killed himself because
of a failure to acompllsh the assassl.

BETTER MEAT
Special Committee’s
Work Is Developing
Opposition.
CITIZENS RALLY
WITH APPROVAL
Central Abattoir Plan Has
Made Enemies of Some
Meat Dealers.
Continued on Pago Two.
Several of the slaughter house men
of Atlanta will unite their forces and
light the new meat Inspection ordi
nance which will come up before coun
cil next Monday for passage. The tight
will be commenced at the meeting of
the special Investigating committee
which holds Joint session - with the
board of health Tuesday afternoon at
o'clock.
Up until the present time there has
been but little opposition to the ordi
nance. The retail butchers of Atlanta
asked that several portions of the or
dinance be changed. These requests,
made In writing, were submitted to the
committee, and were followed so far
as practicable, The reason {or. the
fight against the ordinance Is believed
to'be that the slaughter house men
thlnk-a central abattoir, such as will be
built If the ordinance Is passed, will In
jure the business of the abattoirs now
In existence. However, It le the general
opinion that a central abattoir will
be the beat possible thing for the cat
tle Industry, not only In Georgia, but
throughout the South and will mako
Atlanta the Chicago as well as the
New York ot the South.
Wide public Interest that has been
aroused by the Investigation brought
about by The Georgian, and the de
termination, as a consequence of the
findings of the,special committee, ‘
ter A. Taylor,'chairman, to have pure
wholesome meats In the future, will, It
Is believed, sw*eep before It any oppo
sition which might be thrown In the
way.
The central abattoir Is proposed to
be not only be-the most complete plant
of the kind In the 8outh, so far as In
terior arrangements are concerned, but
will have a stock yard large enough
to accommodate any number of ani
mals. The enterprise Is backed by W.
H. White, Jr., formerly Southern man
ager for the Swift Company; J. J. Mc
Lendon, also at one time a manager
for the same company; R. L. Walker
and the S. C. Wllkerson & Bros. Oro-
eery Company, ns well as a number of
Atlanta capitalists.
The matter of selecting a proper site
for the abattoir and stock yards Is
still In the embryo. Several places
near the river have been gone over and
are under consideration. The final de
cision will be made soon after the pass
age of the ordinance.
In speaking of the company and what
It Intends to do, Mr. White stated that
the nominal sum charged for the
slaughter of animals and the small re
frigerating fee. also to be regulated by
the city council, will encourage the
farmers around this section of the
country to raise .cattle and will bring
cattle from all portions of the South
to Atlanta, which will be ueed as a dis
tributing point. It Is Mr. White’s be
lief that the superior railroad facilities
will also greatly aid In building up the
cattle business In the South and that
the abattoir will be another feather In
Atlanta's cap.
Not Evsn Strict Enough.
"If anything," said Mr. White, "the
ordinance Is not strict enough. The
stricter the better It will suit us, for
without the most rigid regulations we
can not hope to get the confidence of
the people and cope successfully with
the Western meats.”
Chairman Taylor, of the special com
mittee which has carried on the work
of Investigating and of drafting the
ordinance. Is receiving, letters dally
from prominent citizens asking that
the work be pushed to a successful con
clusion. Some of these communica
tions follow:
FROM RANDOLPH ROSE.
Dr. Walter T. Taylor. Candler Building,
city:
Dear Walter—Your proposed meat
ordinance Is a good one. I am anxious
to see this ordinance passed. You are
certainly doing good work In council.

Atlanta Man Is Told

Ldave.
Edward K. Van Winkle, .the young
Atlantan who recently went-to Baku,
Russia, for the purpose of Installing
elaborate machinery In- oil wells and
oil refineries there, waa deported from
the country In a mysterious manner
about two weeks ago.
He was served with papers, through
the British ambassador, which ordered
him to leave the country Immediately.
The orders came from the Russian
government. They said the govern
ment would not be responsible for his
life at the end of 12 hours.
No ezplanstlnn as to the action was
afforded. Such Inquiries as Mr. Van
Winkle desired to make were cut short
by Russian taciturnity and red tape.
It Is supposed that the orders came
from the bureaucracy.
Mr. Van Winkle * got together his
things, left his business In the best
shape possible and departed for Paris.
He was registered at the Paris bureau
of thq New York Herald last week.
He Is now on the ocean returning
home.

Salisbury, N. C, Aug. 27.—Rowan
special court convened today with
Judge Ferguson on the bench. There
are several homicide cases In addition
to the remaining three negroes ac
cused of the murder of the Lyerly
family, and the lynchers now under In
dictment. When the trial of these peo
ple began, six negroes were charged
with the crime. The mob hanged
three of these and the officers took
the others to Charlotte for safe keep
ing. Judge Long, on the day of the
lynching, said if there was any attempt
at violence, he would stop the proceed
ings against the murderers and light
It out with the lynchers If it takes all
the summer.
Six were arrested. The grand Jury
Ignored the bills against three and one
was convicted and sentenced to the
penitentiary Wednesday, and put on
trial for his life. He Is supposed to
have taken actual part la the hanging
of the negroes. Other indictments In
minor degrees will follow.
The trial of the murderers will fol
low that of the lynchers. If there has
been any more to arrest the processes
of the court In the lynching matter,
nothing has developed of It. It Is
generally understood, however; that
the mob Is opposed to ‘trial of Gentle
and something Is liable to develop at
any time.
The condition of Della Dillingham,
the wife of the murdered Jack Dilling
ham, who was the especial hatred of
the mob, Is such as makes her trial
doubtful.
It Is the heaviest' docket in years
despite the fact that since the regular
term In May there have been two
special sessions.
