THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN. WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER li. 1900. JEWS BUTCHERED FOLLOWING II PLOT BYEZm TROOPS Signal displayed From City Tower to Start Massacre. W. J. BRYAN ACCEPTS INVITATION TO COME - HERE SEPTEMBER 20 St. Petersburg, Sept. 12.—A rumor " s In circulation today that Zaenalde Knnoplanlkoyo. the girl who on Au- • suit 22 asnssslnated General Min at l 'etcrhoff, waa executed at daybreak, she waa sentenced to be banged 5R>n day night. All that can be learned la tli.it she was taken out of the-fortress of St. Peter and 81. Paul this morning and placed on board a ship bound for Schusaelburg prison. Advices received today mostly from n fugees sources unite In giving the fighting at Sledlce the character of an anti-Hebrew Attack. In many cases the soldiers spared the lives of Jews upon tho payment by the menaced persons ■ d *25.’ Troops ransacked 100 houses In Warsaw and made 3,000 arrests, chiefly of Jews. Some of the prisoners ate mere Children. JEWS WERE SLAUGHTERED AS RESULT OF PLOT. London, Sept. 12.—The Times pub lishes the following: “A telegram has been received to the effect that according to refugees who have reached Warsaw the disord ers at Sledlce were the result of a de- ' liberalely planned program, and the statement that the trouble arose was caused by an attack on a patrol Is en tirely unfounded. •The massacre began In two differ ent remote quarters of the town as s um as a red light was shown on the city tower. The police were told by the soldiers not to be nfrald. as their orders were to kill Jews. All through the night Jewish houses were Bred upon and later they were plundered. •'When a deputation, headed by rab bis went to the rommnndant and urged him to give orders to end the blood shed, lie replied that he would not give hn order until the members of the lorn (Jewish socialist organisation, hnd Mirrendered. As this was Impossible, the bloodshed continued. Artillery was employed, and whole quarters were de stroyed. The Jews killed and wounded number hundreds. "The panic Is spreading to Warsaw and other towns, where the ‘Slack Hundred’ will carry out Its program In the same way, demanding the surren der of all revolutloarles under threats i f Are ‘and massacre against the wtjole population." William Jennings Bryan will be In Atlanta September 20. as the guest,of the Young Men's Democratic League. Wednesday’morning the following telegram was received: "St. Louis, Sept. 11, 1206. •'Lamar Hill, President Young Men’s Democratic League, Atlanta,. Go. "Many thanks for Invitation. Ac cepted for September 20. "W. J. BRYAN." Mr. Hill, stated that arrangements for the reception of Mr. Ilryan are now only In the embryo, but that, definite action would be taken Thursday, when the finance and the executive commit tees of the league will hold session. if Mr. Bryan arrives In the morning he will be taken to ono of the hotelis either the Piedmont or the Kimball, for breakfast," said Mr. Hill. "It Is probable that he will then be given a public reception at one of the hotels. After luncheon he will be taken over the city, and. If he stays until a late train, will deliver an address at Pied mont park. Otherwise the address will be scheduled for the afternoon." The public reception to be given In Ills honor-will be one of the largest affaire of the kind ever participated In by Atlanta, and It Is belfeved that there wlll be an unprecedented crowd to hear him speak.

Havana, Sept. 12.—The proctuma tlon of martial law by President Palma brings •Intervention by the United States measurably nearer In the Judg ment of Impartial observers. It has had the effect of drawing the lines betw'een loyalists and rebels sharply and has sent many prominent men Into the rebel rnnks who were maintaining at least a semblance of neutrality. It Is openly stated that the action of the government was due to the discov ery of a plot to throw Havana Into a slate of anarchy, the conspirators hav ing planned to kill the horses of all tile lire engines and then to set lire to sev eral places In the city and at the same time to attack the palace and loot the city.

Washington, Sept. 12.—Unless At lanta, Ga., butchers and retail dealers In meat get busy within about two weeks, they will likely have a lot of trouble. Owing to the negligence of these men to apply for exemption from Inspection, to which they are entitled under the law, the department of ag riculture anticipates that on October 1 they will And themselves In a serious position. This will mean, for one thing, that In many localities the sup ply uf meat will be decidedly limited, especially where persons living on the border of qne state depend upon butch ers or dealers living In the adjoining stale. Under the new law retail butchers and dculeiw In meat are exempt from Inspection, but they are required to up- ply to the department for exemption certificates. Without these they are prohibited from Interstate trade. In order to prevent any BUch contin gency the agricultural department has used every means to eall the attention of butchers und dealers to the difficul ty which will confront them. Secre tary Wilson has published advertise- E CHARGE MADE BYJEGROES Assert They Were Forced to Work in Coal Mines. DEMANDS THA 7 PA TTERSON ANS WER CHA RGEOFO WNING STOCK IN GA. RY. & ELEC. CO. S|ier1al purpose of acquainting meat dealers i>eraonally with the fact thnt If they do not have the exemption oertlfl- entee they cannot transport their prod uct from one state or territory to an other. Up ba this time there has been little res|H»nse from the men the department Is trying to reach. Not one In ten has applied, and the general attitude of the dealers has been, according to the of- Ikials of the department, one of ex treme Indifference. Nearly every retail dealer In the city of Atlanta will be affected by the por- of the United States meat regu lations on which the foregoing special Is bused. The exempllon certificates are only Issued when In the Judgment of the secretary of the department of agriculture the meat which Is being handled by the dealer through Inter state channels Is pure and has been in spected. There Is hardly a retail meat dealer In the city who does not handle other than home grown meats and all of these will have to apply for the certifi cates of exemption. In doing this proper blanks must be applied for nnd filled In telling the ad dress of the concern, tne quantity of meat Imndlcd and from where It Is ob tained as well as numerous other data of like nature. Chairman Waller A. Taylor slated Wednesday that the abattoir men who Two negroes who appeared at the po lice station Wednesday morning told stories of mistreatment while being employed at Iron mines near Carters- vllle, Ga. They said they Imd been beaten by the guards, fed on food not fit for u man to eat and paid only $1 go*’ 1 ’ 1 * 11 '* B,r Be I fig promised The negroes stated that they had sworn out warrants agnlnst several guards ut the mines, charging them with Iieunnge, but no record of such warrants could be found In the federal offices where the negroes claimed to have been. For several months past a labor agent tins appeared at the police sta tion und paid the fines of a manlier of negroes arrested for small offenses, saying Hint he would take them a rail- road camp or other work und allow them to work and return the amount of the fines to him. Several weeks ago he took Will Mothokey, Will Brown and other negroes, who were fined $10.73 each for disorderly con duct. In ths Coal Minos. These two negroes stated Wednes- ilay that they had been sent to the mines of the Georgia Iron und. Coal Company, about 20 miles from Car- teravllle.

They said they Imd worked twenty-three days and released without any pay or their fare home and they had w'alked to At lanta, leaving t’arteravllle Monday night. They stated that a guard arm ed with a revolver had kept them un der surveillance and Mothokey exhib ited scare on his leg and arm which he said were Inflicted by brutal blows from the guards. The negroes claim that they had been promised 21.30 a day as wages with the understanding that the amount of their fines and 23 cents a day for Issird should be held back.

In a blistering card. Attorney Wil liam M. Smith, with offices at 222-222 Equitable building, calls on Council man W. H. Patterson to answer the charge made recently by Alderman James L. Key to the effect that Coun cilman Patterson was a stockholder In the Georgia Railway and Electric Com pany. The card Is as follows: To the Editor of The ^Georgian: September 8 you published on the front page of your paper a two-column communication from Alderman James L. Key. Alderman Key charged Coun cilman W. 11. Patterson, of the Eighth ward, with accepting a position and serving on the special committee from council, to Investigate the franchises of the Atlanta Gas Light Company, while at the same time being a part owner of ‘said company. Alderman Key’s communication seemed to be In response to a letter from Councilman Patterson, published on the editorial page of your tuiper of September 7, 1202. Councilman Patterson’s letter ap peared to have been provoked by an editorial In your $>aper of September 1902. The charges agnlnst Councilman Patterson, being In my opinion very serious, the previous Issues of the Gth nnd 7th were Immediately secured and re-read very carefully. The papers have been scanned closely In the hope for an Immediate and complete denial of any such relationship between Coun cilman Patterson end the Georgia Rail way and Electric Company* The writer voted for Mr. Patterson, In preference to a friend and brother attorney, with the Idea of giving the city n business man’s administration. Personal confidence In both aspirants existed then and exists now. For, It would be difficult to convince the friends of Councilman Patterson that he would accept a position, ss judge and Juror to pass upon his own lights, were the sole Issue. ■ Alderman Key- must be mistaken. If so, he has done Councilman Patterson an Injustice and placed him In an unenviable light be fore every ctttxen of Atlanta, thousande of whom are behind Alderman Key In the fight for an opportunity to deter mine the rights of the city ae to lie franchises. If the charge were true, the case would be the City of Atlanta ve. W. H. Pntterson et el., and the lesue for Ju ror Patterson to decide would be, whether a test case should be made, Involving thousands of dollars of Juror Patterson's money, ln any.court of the land. Juror Patterson would be ex cused as a matter of law and that "for cause.’ No lawyer In Christendom would accept him ns a Juror. The su- nreme crairr w'miM Ion hs should make In the trial of such an Issue. The present committee of council Is analogous to a committing court, and If Councilman Patterson were In an analogous position In a committing court, It might be Judge Patterson de ciding whether Defendant Patterson should be tried for murder. The prin ciple Is the same. Councilman Patter son must be perfectly Impartial be tween the city of Atlanta and the Geor gia Railway and Electric Company and must hnve no bias or prejudice either for or against either party. Can a man be perfectly Impartial and without bias or prejudice ln the trial of an Issue where his life or his fortune Is at stake? Who le it that could not fore tell hla verdict? Councllmen E. W. Martin, F. A. Qull- llun, K. E. Pomeroy and other able rep resentatives in council, with whom I am personally acquainted, would never serve on a committee under such cir cumstances. Hon. Lewis W. Thomas, Councilman Patterson's opponent In his rare for council, would not, and the friends of Councilman Patterson refuse to believe that he has done so. Only his own statement or much stronger proof than a simple statement of such a charge can convince them. The charfee against Councilman Patterson that he has accepted a committeeman's place while secretly an owner of stock In the company Interacted, calls for a response from Councilman Patterson. If anything. It puts him'more strongly on the defensive than your timely ed itorial, which provoked a long letter MYRTLE ALLEN FOUND OVER COLUMBUS BUR Myrtle Allen, the 12-year-old girl who disappeared from her home at 115 Chapel street, last Saturday afternoon, has been returned to her home from Columbus, where she was found Tues day night locked In a room over Dan Adams' saloon.

A representative of The Georgian was advised by Alderman Key that the charge would be made that Council man Patterson was a stockholder in the Georgia Railway and Electric Company.
