3,000 ATLANTA HOMES
WITHOUT SERVANTS
Hotels Locked UpTheir
Waiters Saturday For
Protection.
■ When It comes to servant problems
in the acute and concrete stage, Hon
do' In Atlanta set a standard hard to
duplicate.
r It la estimated that at least 3,000
h-mes were servantless and that .In as
many more the cooks and house serv
ants were kept on the place, nnd In
dozens of business houses where
n* groes are employed a soft spot was
found In preference to attempting to
get home.
The spectacle of the Young man of
the family peeling the potatoes and the
mater and sisters cooking the meals
was quite the thing Sunday,
seen In nearly every home where the
servants had been possessed of suf
ficient nerve or Ignorance to go home
Saturday night.
And warm wnter. too, became fash
ionable and Ice cream scarce. Unless
A faintly lived In the central portion
of the city It had to go Iceless—or Hint
same young man who peeled the pota
toes had to go to the factory with a
Wheelbarrow. At most of the Ice plants
the negro drivers nnd Ice handlers re
ported for work, but they were seared
to go out on the wagons.
Restaurants which had waiters Sat
urday night and wanted them Sunday
were careful to keep them Indoors. The
Aragon Hotel and Silverman’s restau
rant locked up their servants nnd kept
them safe until Sunday—then they
were more fortunate than some of their
competitors and had their regular help.
The negro messenger !m»vh employed
by the postal Telegraph people were
kept In the call room all night.

CABS DESERTED
IN THE STREETS
When the rioters Saturday night be
gan to cense to discriminate beween
innocent and guilty negroes In their
wild desire to "kill all of ’em,” the cab
service of the city was the first to
suffer. The night hawks deserted
their vehicles and left them standing
by the curbs In the uptown streets, or
drove Into the residence district, where
ttie mob did not venture, and left their
horses to take care of themselves ns
best they knew how, Jlut they knew
how, and most of them waited patient
ly until a white driver came and got
them.
On Sunday walking or street car rid
ing was popular. The cabbies did not
return to their two-and-four wheelers,
but stayed at home or Joined the army
of negroes which left Atlanta.
The hacks, however, were not the
only vehicles divested of their negro
drivers. The hotel baggage wagons
suffered the same fate and on Sunday
white Attaches were mounted on the
high seats.

“Wonderland."
One of the best attractions of the
season and one that should draw Im
menso audiences to the Grand, will be
presented Monday night and Tuesday
night, with matinee Tuesday afternoon.
"Wonderland" Is a most pretentious
spectacle. The book nnd lyrics are by
Glen MucDonough. The music Is by
Victor Herbert. Julian Mitchell has
aptly been called "the u Izard of stage
effects," and Is the producer. Joseph
M. Gnltes is the manager. Little Chip
and Mary Marble are the principal fun-
makers of a rornpnny of over slxtv
people.
"Wonderland" Is a fairy tale told by
clever comedians surrounded by a host
of pretty girls clad In brilliant raiment
and costly vestments of silk and satin,
moving through a long scrips of beauti
ful stage pictures.
Two car loads of scenery and stage
effects are carried to properly stage the
production, which Is said to be one of
the most gorgeous affairs ever sent on
the road.
The same cast which appeared for
an entire season at the Mnjestlc then
ter In New York will appear here.
“Tha Toast of tho Town."
Mr. bitch has written a strong play
In "The Toast of the Town," which
will be presented Wednesday nnd
Thursday at the Grand, by Jane Ken
nark and n splendid company.
The story of the play Is that of Ret
ty Hlngleton, the London actress, who
married the Duke of Mnlumbury, only
to And herself discarded for other,fa
vorltes, shamed anti abused after bear
ing his drunken debauchery for a year,
she leaves him. He seeks her at the
end of another year and offers her
share of his home nnd gives proof that
he is a regenerated man. She, loving
him. despite his treatment or her, do
cllnes to entAr Ids borne until he can
give her. a place In his heart. Hhe con
celves the Idea that he loves another,
his cousin, nnd In order to give him an
excuse for divorcing her ami gaining
his own happiness, she cheats him with
a story of her wrong-doing nnd goes
away to hide In London. There In the
Inst act he finds her nnd gives

a most excellent company.
Saratoga, N. Y., Sept, 24.—On the eve
of the state Republican convention the
delegates are all at sea, but one thing
seems settled, nnd that Is Governor
Higgins will not be a candidate for
renmnfnntfon. There Is no doubt that
he can have the nomination if he signi
fies his desire for It, nnd he has prom
ised to make his wishes known today.
Woodruff, Parsons, O’lirlen, Ward,
Grlener, Franchol. Hendricks, Aldridge
and Harnes are all here, but they can
not forecast what Is going to happen.
Slates are made only to be broken.
Platt is not here, and this Is the first
state convention since 1860 that he hns
missed. Senator Depew’s absence is
commented upon today. He has attend
ed every state convention In the last
forty years.
Odell’s hand has been shown In the
launching of a boom for Hughes, but
the most talked of candidates In the
event of Higgins’ withdrawal, are
Woodruff and Bruce. Woodruff, how
ever, Is ambitious to go to the ITnlteti
Htntes senate, nnd this may leave the
way open for Hruce, who would he ac
ceptable to Oyster Hay.
The platform. It Is understood, will
unreservedly Indorse the administra
tion of the president and Governor HIg-
gins.
FRIENDS OP HEARSE
Much Depends on Action of
the Tammany Hall
Delegates.
Buffalo, N. Y., Sept. 24.—As the hour
approaches for the opening of the
Democratic state convention, Buffalo is
rapidly filling with visitors from many
states who believe they perceive In the
action of the convention tomorrow a
political revolution which will affect
the nation.
Belief Is growing In some quarters
that WiJJJam Randolph Hearst will be
the candidate.named to head the ticket,
although friends of District Attorney
Jerome and Justice Gaynor are very
active. 4
George W. Batten, Democratic state
committeeman, of Niagara; Frank W.
Brown, Democratic state committed
man, of Wyoming; Frank II. Mott, of
Chautauqua, Democratic state com
mitteeman; James (). Bennett, of Chau
tauqua; W. E. Murphy, chairman of
the Orleans county Democratic com
mittee; Charles P. Bacon, of New
York, nnd a score of other prominent
Democrats, are busy receiving dele
gates at the headquarters of William
Conners at the Iroquois.
There are good evidences that every
power of the Ryan-Hheehan-Belmont
ring Is being brought Into play In an
effort to defeat Hearst.
Much. It Is believed, depends upon
the action of Charles F. Murphy. It
Is believed by those close to Tammany
that the greater proportion of them
will throw their Intluonce to Hearst.

"How Baxter Butted In.”
"How Baxter Rutted In" Is the name
of the new' melo-dramntlc comedy by
Owen Davis that will bo produced this
week at the ltljou. This play Is snld t
be one of the absolute novelties of lb
senson. uniting ns It does the popular
features of high-class comedy, and
strong domestic dranm. The story of
how "Baxter,” an up-to-date commer
cial traveler, "butts In" nnd spoils the
attempt of n country shyster to rob nnd
disgrace a defenseless village girl Is
the foundation of the play. Baxter at
length Is successful In his efforts to de
feat this young girl's enemies, and all
ends happily. The "Baxter" of the
■ — | play will' be intnutted to the capable
air last meal tnste deliciously hands of Mr. Sidney Toler ami admlr-

rural stage pictures ever attempted
The part of "Billy Baxter," the gcnlul,
manly and witty "good fellow," Is a
character entirely new to the stage nnd

HARDWARE COMPANIES
SELL OUT OF FIRE ARMS
Since the rioting began Saturday
night the Anderson Hardware Compa
ny, at the corner of Edgew'ood avenue
and Peachtree street, has sold Out Its
entire stock of pistols, except a few
very cheap and a few- very high-priced
wen isms. The stock consisted of
about 400 pistols of various makes and
sixes, nnd none of these were sold to
negroes.
Besides this unprecedented sale of
small arms more than 100 rifles hnve
beon sold to w hite people only, and on
Monday a crowd was about the door all
morning trying to buy firearms nnd
ammunition. This hud been forbidden
by the authorities, however, and noth
ing to shoot with was obtainable.
The clerks of this store worked until
daylight Sunday morning nnd most of
the day Sunday selling guns and pis
tols for the protection of the homes of
Atlantans.
No one was prepared for the situa
tion, and most of the smaller dealers
nnd pawn shops had sold out before the
trouble began to brew In earnest.

umori From 8uburbs,
From the suburbs came most of the
rumors. Early In the afternoon a squad
of police was hurried to a point far out
on. Marietta street, where a mob had
attacked several negroes. The patrol

and left for dead, but he soon rec

With the late Incoming street cars
additional horrors occurred. Every car
brought a number of negroes returning
from the outskirts, ami these were
greeted with yells of glee by the rlot-

man—was dragged from the cars and
brutally beaten. If the street car com

was Mayor Woodward himself
turned In the fire alarm. He had
mounted a dry goods box In Decatur
street and begged the rioters to ills-
rfe, but they returned him only Jeers
I hoots, lie Jumped from Ids ros-
rum and ran to the fire alarm box at
•y nnd Decatur streets. When tho
nnpunles arrived Mayor Woodward
ordered the hose turned on the crowd.
When 2 o’clock had struck from the
ty clocks the uptown streets were
iiiiot again ami hut for rumors of riot
ing In the suburbs It appeared that
the misrule of a night was over, that
ib had spent Its temper In
tramping over the streets and the
morning might bring peace. But the
next day was Sunday, when the class
that makes a mob has no occupation
hut to throng the streets. The idleness
brought its results In a day of scat
tered riots nnd a night of fear.
When early risers hurried to the
downtown streets Sunday morning
they expected to find a scene of wreck-
p» ami turmoil. Instead they found
quiet city with no traces of the sat
urnalia of the night before. All thnt
attracted attention was the soldiery in
khnkl who patrolled the streets and
nodded pleasantly to friends who
passed.
Soldiers In Marietta Street.
Marietta street was the center of the
military. .Here several companies were
marshaled, some with Titles stacked and
lankets piled In heaps, while others
pre marching from point to jmint.
une sleepy detachments, wearied from
restless night, were sleeping on the | (]
ptuktt. Colonel t’llfford Ander
Adjutant Burton Smith and other
fleers conferred on the duties of
day
The military, ordered to the streets
to prevent a lepetitlon of the scenes
of the night before, served to draw
almost as big a crowd as that which
made Marietta street a devil’s carnival
a few hours earlier. But It was a dif
ferent type of crowd, curious, orderly.
Indignant at the lawlessness of the
night. Some of the strollers objected
vlgorouslv when ordered to move on.
some protested against being ordered ! for
oft their own streets by men In uni- sin
form, but no resistance to the treofis vie
was offered. jlut
Through the morning hours the city j vai
was quiet, but for •s essional reports
attacks »*n stiay negroes* In the
and
West Peachtree place, from Whitter
Mills, from far out Whitehall street,
came repented calls for protection.
When militia nnd police responded
these rumors were found to be exag
gerated, though there were many eases
of attacks on negroes by small crowds
of men.
Reports of negro outrages came thick
and fast, lmt little could be discovered
after Investigation. The negroes were
not free from crime, however, for there
were many Instances where passing
street curs were fired upon and others
were greeted with a hall of stones
while passing through negro localities.
It was necessary to withdraw- all cars
from the Pittsburg, Auburn avenue and
Houston street lines long before mid
night.
From Pittsburg, the scene of the no-
rlous riots of three years ago, came
the worst reports. Repeated rumors of
enormous mobs were received at news
paper offices. At midnight It was said
that negroes had murdered a young
girl there and In the tight that
followed the militia had killed 200
blacks, while four soldiers had been
shot. Colonel Anderson received - a re
port a few moments later that all
quiet at Pittsburg and there had been
no disorder worth mentioning.
Saloons Are Closed.
Early In the afternoon the police
board held a meeting at headquarters.
Mayor Woodward announced that he
had ordered every saloon to remain
closed until further orders and had In
structed pawnshops and hardware
houses to refuse to*sell weapons of any
kind. All who tried to buy pistols Hun
day were refused until they could oh
fain an order from the military author

weapons for the protection of their
homes.

Havana, Sept. 24.—All Is In readiness
to land a force of 2,500 marines and
blue jackets In Havana, fully equipped
for active service, within two hours.
Whether or not they will be landed de
pends upon the devolpments within the
next few days. Tents and stores al
ready have been put ashore.
The feeling this morning that both
sides would submit the trouble to ar
bitration of the American commission
ers without reservation la not so san
guine as It was yesterday. The rebel
field leaders, I learn, are inclined to
InslHt on assurances that there will be
a new election, which assurance Mr.
Taft declines to give. He refused to
day to discuss the situation.
Messrs. Taft and Bacon held a con
ference today with Jose Miguel Gomex,
Juan Giial berto Gomez. Pelayo Gar
cia, Senator Gazo, Demetrio Castillo,
Jesus Montengudo, Carlos Garcia nnd
Alfredo Zayas, representing the mal
contents, after w-hlch It Is possible they
will be ready to make some announce
ment. ,
If is regarded ns significant that Mr.
Taft, when the diplomatic corps called
on him Informally, called their atten
tion to the fact that the United States
intended to restore and maintain order
In Cuba and asked their assistance to
the extent of keeping him Informed of
any matters of Interest. It Is the gen
erally expressed opinion of the dlplo
matic corps that nothing short o.
American Intervention will restore and
maintain order.
Colonel Avalos, with 600 government
troops, with machine guns, arrived at
Guanajay at 11 o’clock yesterday

on the way to Havuna from Plnar del
Rio.
If they march to Havana they will
come Into direct contact with General
Pino Guerra’s troops, who • are en
camped on the road leading from
Guanajay to the capital.
General Guerra informed Senator
Zayas that unless Colonel Avalos Is
halted a fight will ensue. Senator
Zayas Informed Mr. Taft, who told the
reporters last night that stories of the
danger of a clash between the rebels
and the government troops had reached
him. He added that he had received
complaints of bad faith from both
sides. He had sifted these and found
them groundless.
It Is stated that Colonel Avalos will
proceed no further than Guanajay.

HAVE NARROW ESCAPE
BROUGHT TO ATLANTA
FOR SAFE KEEPING
Fred Hawkins Placed In
Fulton County Jail By
Order of Judge.
Hpeelnl to The Georgina. '
Gainesville, Ga., Sept. 24.—Sheriff W.
A. Crow left on the Air Line Belle
train at 7:12 o’clock this morning for
Atlanta with Fred Hawkins, why w f as
last Thursday convicted In Hall su
perior court of the assassination of
Henry E. Cagle and sentenced to a life
term in the penitentiary. Hawkins was
removed to the Fulton county Jail for
safe-keeping on the order of Judge J.
J. Kimsey, before W'hom Hawkins was
tried. It is not known what actuated
the presiding Judge In having Haw
kins carried to Atlanta, as there have
been no threats of violence. The or- j
der came to Sheriff Crow last even
Ing. Immediately upon the announce
ment of the verdict of the Jury In the
cqurt room last Thursday notice of a
motion for a new trial was filed by
Hawkins* attorneys, and Judge Kim
sey set the hearing on the motion for
October 22, when he will hold a special
term of the superior court.
This term of the court Is held pri
marily for the purpose of trying the
case of the state vs. Jim Reed, wfyo
Is charged with the murder of Hoke
Hunt, son of Dr. A. W. Hunt, of Flow
ery Branch. Reed was tried at the
July term of Hall superior court, but
the Jury could not agree upon a ver
dict and a mistrial was ordered. Reed
is anxious for another trial, and It Is
for this purpose thnt Judge Kimsey
will hold the term In October.
Negroes Were Forced
to Get Off Cars by
Car Inspectors.
Sunday night was quiet—compara
tively. But there was troubl^, and
there were alarms, some false, some
real.
The entire city lay awake In ex
pectation of trouble of greater seri
ousness than had developed even at the
height of Saturday night’s orgy of
lust for blood.
Cars filled with white men and wo
men were summarily held up at vari
ous points by fragments of the mob
and were searched for negroes, Just as
on Saturday night.
One of the most exciting of the af
fairs of this sort occurred at the cor
ner of Whitehall and Humphries streets
at 8:30 o’clock. A Whitehall and West
End car. going at full tilt down grade,
was confronted by fifty or more armed
men and boys and was ordered to halt.
The motorman slung on his brakes and
cut off his current, but before the car
had stepped the gang made a rush for
It. It was met by the conductor, with
drawn revolver, and Luther Z. Rosser,
with sighted Winchester. The mob
lost Its ardor Immediately and fell
away.
At the corner of Lee and Park streets
In West End a squad of militia and in
spectors of the Georgia Railway and
Electric Company were stationed all of
Sunday night and stopped every Incom
ing car with negroes aboard. The
negroes were told that It was taking
their lives In their hands to attempt to
go into town, and were forced to leave
the cars nnd take to the w’oods.
The mob remained In the neighbor
hood of Whitehall and Humphries
streets until a late hour at night. For
years Whitehall and McDaniel streets
has been a congregating place for
negroes, coming from Peters street and
the negro settlement to the west of that
street. •
The mob formed a dead line there
and no negroes were allowed to make
their way past It.

FORM MURDER MYSTERY;
NE W YORK POLICE BAFFLED
New York, Sept. 24.—The most star
tling murder mystery that hns stirred
this city since the famous Guldensuppe
case was discovered when the dismem
bered torso of a man, still warm and
wrapped in a piece of oilcloth, was
found at the bottom of a 24-foot ex
cavation at the southwest corner of
Eleventh avenue and Thirty-sixth
street. This astounding discovery was
followed by the finding of the severed
ai*pis and the legs from the knees down
In a freight car in the New York Cen
tral railroad yards, only a short dis
tance away.
Tho head and the legs from the hips
to the knees arc still missing. A num
ber of deep stab wounds were in the
chest of the torso. The police believe
the victim whs slain by a woman. Tho
man was probably asleep.
Coroner’s Physician Weston, who ex
amined the torso, said the man had
been killed only a few hours before.
He said the cutting had been done by a
person who. knew how to find the
Joints. ' ,4

Brewster, N. Y., Sept. 24.—Throwing
herself across the coffin of Wilbur
Wlnshlp, aged 3, son of Herbert Win-
ship, a farmer, of Cowies Corners, 12
miles from here. Jennie Burch, aged
14, the child’s nurse, confessed that she
hnd poisoned the baby. She said she
knew she had to die for setting fire to
the house, and did not want to leave
the child.
The startling confession brought a
cry of rage from a hundred farmers,
w-ho had gathered to attend the fu
neral, nnd for a time there were threats
against tho girl’s life. Her confession
also solved the mystery In the firing
of the Wlnshlp barn and five attempts
to burn the family house.
The crime Is attributed by the farm
ers to the Indian blood In her veins.
The girl was taken to the county Jail
at White Plains nnd charged with mur
