THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN. 4iosDAV. sEPTEJinrn !(, im 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. STRONG BOX RIFLED RIVAL PARTIES TO MEET AND NAME THEIR TICKETS FOR N. Y.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Mayor Trias to Quiet Mobs. 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 ities. Many men tried to purchase weapons for the protection of their homes. Fire at Kirkpatrick Home. At !* o’clock a fire alarm was turned In and the home of W. W. Kirkpatrick, 14n Capit.d avenue, was found ih Humes.

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 ing, having marched rrom Cam 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. 52 PElFOlEfiir 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. FRA G ME NTS OF MA N’S BOD Y 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.

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 der In tho first degree. ^Vabash, Ind„ Sept. 24.—Fifty-two persons connected with an amusement eompnny which has been exhibiting at Fort Wayne, Ind., had a narrow escape from death near here today.
