THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN.
3,000 ATLANTA HOMES
WITHOUT SERVANTS
Hotels Locked UpTheir
Waiters Saturday For
Protection.
RIVAL PARTIES TO MEET
AND NAME THEIR TICKETS
FOR N. Y. STATE ELECTION
When ft cornea to servant problems
i the acute and concrete stage, Sun-
ay in Atlanta set a standard hard to
duplicate.
It la estimated that at least 3,000
homes were servantless and that In as
many more the cooks and house serv
ants were kept on the place, and In
d<>xens of business bouses where
negroes are employed a soft spot was
found In preference to attempting to
get home.
r 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. It was
seen In nearly every home where the
servants had been possessed of suf
ficient nerve or Ignorance to go home
Saturday night.
And warm water, too, became fash
ionable and Ice cream scarce. I’nless
a ramify lived In the central portion
of the city It had to go iceless—or that
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 and Ice handlers re
ported for work, but they were scared
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 and kept
them safe until Sunday-then they
were more fortunate than soma of their
competitors and had their regular help.
The negro messenger boys employed
by the Postal Telegraph people w
kept in the call room ull night.

I AT THE THEATERS
CABS DESERTED
IN THE STREETS
When the rioters Saturday night be
gan to cease fo 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
the mob did not venture, and left their
horses to take care of themselves us
best they knew how. Hut they knew
how, and moat 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
mense audiences to the Grand, will be
presented Monday night and Tuesday
night, with matinee Tuesday afternoon.
"Wonderland" la a most pretentious
spectacle. The book and lyrics are by
Glen MaeDonough. The music Is by
Victor Herbert. Julian Mitchell has
aptly been called "the wizard of stage
effects," and Is the producer. Joseph
M. Gultes Is the manager. Little Chip
and Alary Mnrble are the principal fun-
makers of a company of over sixty
people.
"Wonderland" Is a fairy tale told by
clever comedians surrounded by a host
of pretty girls clad iu brilliant raiment
and costly vestments of silk and satin,
moving through n long series of beauti
ful stage pictures. '
Two car loads of scenery and stage
effects are carried to properly stage the
production, which Is tmhl to be one of
the most gorgeous affairs ever sent
the road.
The same cast which appeared for
an entire season at the Majestic thea
ter In New York will appear here.
“The Toast of tho Town.”
Mr. Fitch has written a strong play
In "The Toast of the Town," which
will he presented Wednesday and
Thursday at the Grand, by Jane Ken-

excuse for divorcing her and gaining
his own happiness, she clients him with
a story of her wrong-doing and goes

last act he finds her and gives his
heart, for which she Is starving. In
her support Miss Kennark has secured
most excellent company.
HIGGINS NOT LIKELY FRIENDS OF HEARST
TO ENTER CONTEST
FOR RENOMINATION
Woodruff, Bruce and
Hughes Look Good on
Eve of Convention.
Saratoga, N. Y., Sept. 24.—On the eve
of the state Republican onventlon the
delegates are all at sea. but one thing
seems settled, and that Is Governor
Higgins will not be a candidate for
renomlnatlon. There Is no doubt that
he can have the nomination If he signi
fies his desire for It, and he has prom
ised to make his wishes know n today.
Woodruff, Parsons, O’Brien,* Ward,
Grlener, Franchol, Hendricks, Aldridge
and Barnes are all here, but they con
not forecast what Is going to happen.
Hlstes are made only to be broken.
Platt Is not here, and this Is the first
state convention since I860 that he has
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 u boom for Hughes, but
the most talked of candidates In tho
event of Higgins’ withdrawal, are
Woodruff and Bruce. Woodruff, how
ever, Is ambitious to go to the United
States senate, and this may leave the
way open for Bruce, ^vh<r w ould be ac
ceptable to Oyster Bay.
The platform. It Is understood, will
unreservedly Indorse the administra
tion of the president and Governor Hig
gins.

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 William Randolph Hearst will be
the candidate named to head the ticket,
although friends of District Attorney
Jerome and Justice Gaynor are very
active.
George W. Batten, Democratic state
committeeman, of Niagara; Frank W.
Brown, Democratic state committee
man. of Wyoming; Frank H. Mott, of
Chautauqua, Democratic state com
mitteeman; Jnmes O. Bennett, of Chau
tauqua; W. E. Murphy, chairman of
the Orleans county Democratic com
mittee; Charles P. Bacon, of New
York, and 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-Sheehan-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 Influenc^ to, Hearst.

coming car brought Its quota to swell
the mob. Most of these late arrivals
w f ere armed. Many were men who came
to the city fearing an uprising of ne
groes. and who Joined the mob without
taking a hand In the actual violence.
There were thousands swept along by
curiosity and with no Intention of crime
who added by their mere presence to „
the ferocity of the mob leaders, who noldstown. from Copenhlll. the Stand-
saw these men behind them und Im- Company’s plant, Orme and
and night fell, repented rumors of riot
Ing were heard and troops and police
were kept busy. '
Rumors From 8uburbs.
From the suburbs came most of the
rumors. Early In the afternoon n squad
of p<dice was hurried to a point far out
on Marietta street, where a mob had
attacked several negroes. The patrol
wagon returned with one victim, beaten
and left for dead, but he soon recovered
ftt the Grady hospital. From Rey
aglned themselves supported by an
army.
With the late Incoming street cars
additional horrors occurred. Every car
brought a number of negroes returning
from the outskirts, and these were
greeted with yells of glee by the riot
ers. Every negro—woman as well ai
man—was dragged from the cars and
brutally beaten. If the street car com
pany could have been warned In time
not to bring negroes to the city some
of the assaults might have been avert
ed. Hut the negroes were brought nt
rapid Intervals Into the heart of the
disorder.
Mayor Trios to Ouiot Mobs.
It was Mayor Woodward himself
who turned In the lire alarm. He had
mounted a dry goods box in Decatur
street and begged the rioters to dis
perse, but they returned him only Jeers
and hoots. He jumped from his ros
trum and ran to tho lire alarm box at
Ivy and Decatur streets. When the
companies arrived Mayor Woodward
ordered the hose turned on the crowd.
When 2 o’clock had struck from the
ity clocks the uptown streets were
luiot again and but for rumors of riot
ing In the suburbs It appeared that
the misrule of a night was over, that
the mob 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
but to throng the streets. The Idleness
brought Its results in a day of scat
tered riots and a night of fear.
When early risers hurried to the
downtown streets Sunday morning
they expected to find a scene of
age and turmoil. Instead they found
quiet dty with no traces of the sat
urnalia of .the night before. All that
attracted attention was the soldiery in
khaki who patrolled the streets and
nodded pleasantly to friends who
passed.

Mills, from far out Whitehall street,
came repeated calls for protection,
When militia and police responded
these rumors were found to be exag
derated, though there were many
of attacks on negroes by small crowds
of men.
Reports of negro outrages came thick
and fast, but little could be discovered
after Investigation. The negroes were
not free from crime, however, for there
were many Instances where passing
street cars were tired upon and others
were greeted with a hall of stones
while pnssing through negro localities.
It was necessary to withdraw nfl cars
from the Pittsburg, Auburn avenue and
Houston street lines long beforo mid
night.
From Pittsburg, the scene of the no
torlnus riots of three years ago, came
the worst reports. Repeated rumors of
normous mobs were received at news
paper ottlces. At midnight It was said
that negroes had murdered a young
white girl there and In the fight that
followed the militln had killed 200
blacks, while four soldiers had been
shot. Colonel Anderson received a re
port a few moments luter that all wai
quiet nt 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
losed until further orders and had In
structed pawnshops and hardware
houses to refuse to sell weapons of any
kind. All w ho tried to buy pistols Sun
day were refused until they could oh
tain an order from the military author
Itles. Many men tried to purchase
weapons for the protection of their
homes.
Fire at Kirkpatrick Home.
At 9 o'clock a Are alarm was turned
In and the home of \\\ W. Kirkpatrick,
148 Capitol avenue, was- found In
flames. Two negroes had been dis
charged that day by Mr. Kirkpatrick,
and when the flre was extinguished
it was found that the walls had been
saturated with kerosene. Several oth

feared, but no conflagration fol

yavann. 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 W'ould submit the trouble to ar
bitration of the American commission
ers without reservation Is not so san
guine as It was yesterday. The rebel
field leaders, I learn, are inclined to
insist 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 Gomez,
Juan Gualberto Gomes, Pelayo Gar
da, Senator Gazo, Demetrlo Castillo,
Jesus Monteagudo, Carlos Garcia and
Alfredo Zayas, representing the mal
contents, after which It Is possible they
will be ready to make some announce
ment.
It Is regarded as 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 onrtcr
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
malic corps that nothing short o
American Intervention will restore and

Colonel Avalos, with 600 government
troops, with machine guns, arrived at

If they march to Havana they will
come Into direct contact with General
PJno Huerta's .troops, who are en
camped on the road leading from
Guanajny to the capital.
General Gperra 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 dash 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,

Special to The Georgina.
Gainesville, Ga., Sept. 24.—Sheriff W.
A. Crowr left on the Air Line Belle
train at 7:12 o’clock this morning for
Atlanta with Fred Hawkins, who was
last Thursday convicted In Hall su
perior court of the assassination of
Henry E. Cagle and sentenced to a life
term In the penitentiary. Haw'kins was
removed to the Fulton county Jail for
safe-keeplng on the order of Judge J.
J. Klmsey, before whom 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
der came to Sheriff Crow last even
ing. Immediately upon the announce
ment of the verdict of the Jury In the
court room last Thursday notice of a
motion for a new trial was filed by
Hawkins’ attorneys, and Judge Klm-
aey 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, who
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 that Judge Klmsey
III hold the term In October.
Sunday night was quiet—compara
tively. But there was trouble, 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
nt 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 oar
' stopped the gangymade a rush for
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
ftunduy night and etopnod tvery 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 and take to the woods.
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
thfe 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.

NEIV YORK POLICE BAFFLED
New York, SCpt. 24.—The most star
tling murder mystery that has stirred
this city since the famous Guldensuppe
cose was discovered when the dismem
bered torso of a man, still warm and
wrapped In a piece of oilcloth, was
found nt 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
arms and the legs from the knees dow n
In a freight car In the New York Cen
tral railroad yards, only a short dis
tance away.
The head and the legs from the hips
to the knees are still missing. A num
ber of deep stab wounds were In the
chest of the torso. The police believe
the victim was slain by a woman. The
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.

Brewster, N. Y., Sept. 24.—Throwing
herself across the coffin of Wilbur
Wlnshlp, aged 3, son of Herbert Win-
ship, a farmer, of Cowles Corners, 12
miles from here, Jennie Burch, aged
14, the child’s nurse, confessed that she
had 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, and for a time there were threats
against the 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 and charged with mur

“Coffee has been used In our family
of eleven—father, mother, five sons and
four daughters—for thirty years; 1 am
the eldest of tho boys and have always
been considered the runt of the family
and a coffee toper.
ontlnued to drink it for years
until I grew to be a man, and then I
ound I had stomach trouble, nervous
headaches, poor circulation, was unable
to do a full day’s work, took medicine
for this, that, and the other thing, with
out the least benefit. In fact, I only
weighed 116 when I was 28.
’Then I changed from coffee to Poa-
tum, being the first one In our family
to do so. I noticed, as did the rest of
the family, that I was surely gaining
strength and flesh. Shortly after I was
visiting my cousin, who said: ’You
look so much better—you’re getting
fat.’
"At breakfast his wife passed me a
large-sized cup of coffee, as she knew I
always such a coffee drinker, but I
said, ’No, thank you.’
Whatt* said my cousin, ‘you quit
coffee? What do you drink?’
’’’Postum,’ I said, ’or water, and I
am well.’ They did not know' what
Postum w'as, but my cousin had stom
aeh trouble and could not sleep at night
from drinking a large cup of coffee
three times a day. He was glad to
learn about Postum ,but said he never
knew coffee hurt anyone.
After understanding my condition
and how I got well he knew what to
do for himself. He discovered that
offee was the cause of *hls trouble, as
never used tobacco or anything else
the kind. You should now see the
change In him. We both believe that
persons who suffer from coffee drink
ing would stop and use Postum they
could build back to health and happi
ness.” Name given by Postum Co.,
