clay Night. .
The riot Is over.
Atlanta Is quiet and there is no in
dication of further trouble.
At 2 o’clock the streets presented
their usual work day appearance and
every vestige of the disorder of Sat
urday night and Sunday had disap
peared.
Since midnight Sunday there has
been no disorder In the city. Shortly
after that hour a negro was lynched
at East Point, but It was done so quiet
ly that even East Point did not know
of it until morning.
The military companies of the Second
regiment have returned to their homes.
No more troops will be culled out. The
local companies are still In uniform and
under arms, but they have been with
drawn from the streets and are at their
harracks awaiting emergencies.
The police and military authorities
have the situation well In hand and be
lieve that all trouble Is over. Rumors
of disorder In the forenoon proved un
founded.
No city of North or South could re
gret more deeply the riots of Satpr-
day night and Sunday than Atlanta.
But the citizens who stand for some
thing—who own property, who have
built Atlanta Into what It Is—are free
from any stigma. The howling mob
which made Decatur and Marietta
streets a pandemonium Saturday night
had not one citizen of standing In Its
disordered ranks. Unkempt men of the
streets, half grown boys at first, In
spired by a boy’s love of excitement
MINISTERS CONDEMN
SENSATIONAL EXTRAS
The Methodist ministers of Atlanta, at their meeting at the Wesley
Memorial church Monday morning, adopted unanimously a number of
resolutions denouncing the riot of Saturday night as an outrage, criti
cising the authorities for lax methods In preventing It, condemning the
dives which breed crime and the negro** who are responsible for attacks
on women. They criticised the action of the sensational papers In Issuing
Inflammatory headlines, on Saturday night.
The resolutions were in substance as follows:
’’Whereas, The peace and good order of our city have been disturbed
by a lawless mob; Its good name dishonored. Innocent people attacked
and our population terrorized: therefore, be it resolved:
“1. That we deplore and condemn the assaults on white women which
have Justly aroused the bitterest feelings of our people, and we express
our deepest symapthy with the victims of black brutes.
“2. That we condemn the lawless spirit that would not only visit
vengeance on the guilty, but wrath upon the Innocent, and that we call
upon right-thinking people, by sentiment and action, to regard human
rights and divine Justice.
”3. That we express our profoundest sympathy with the Innocent suf
ferers of lawless violence. •
”4. That we deplore the weak and slow administration of justice by
the courts and hesitating manner of the guardians of the public peace In
suppressing dens of vice and hotbeds of violence.
“5. That we believe that nearly all acts of violence are caused by the
sale and use of Intoxicating drinks and we call upon all our citizens for
t^ie suppression of the liquor traffic.
”6. That we deprecate all sensational presentations of assaults or at
tempted assaults, as exciting passion and violence.
"7. That we call upon the authorities to prosecute to the fullest extent
of the law the leaders and instigators of this murderous mob.
”8. That as ministers of *he gospel, charged with the forming and
strengthening of right public opinion, we will renew our dllllgence In con
demning every form of wrong and In telling our opinion to obedience of
God and of the state.”
and afterwards animated by animal
passion, formed the mob which has
sent the name of Atlanta over the
wires In no enviable light.
Began in Comady.
Like nil mobs, It had but a small be*
ginning. It began half in comedy. It
ended In tragedy. If that first gather
ing In Decatur street, near Marietta,
had been dispersed before It grew un
governable, there would be no troops
In Atlanta today—there would have
been no terror In Atlanta homes for two
long nights.
At f> o’clock Saturday night a crowd
of perhaps a hundred gathered at De
catur and Marietta streets. It was
stated afterwards that the trouble be-
gnn when a white woman was stopped
by a negro and her purse snatched. But
those who were standing In the streets
saw nothing but a swurm of boys, who
yelled and hooted at every negro who
passed by. shouting to him to run and
aiding him with a kick or a blow with
a stick.
At first It was almost good natured.
There was not an angry face In the
crowd Even the negroes who ran the
gauntlet seemed to mind but little the
blows which hammered them and bent
their efforts to reaching a side street,
where they might escape.. There was
no effort to follow fthem.
But ns the mob grew its temper rose.
Inflamed by the vile whisky of the De-
»utur street dives, the white men who
frequent the slums on Saturday night
drifted Into the crowd and their temper
hpread to the rest. Soon the street was
tilled until it was black with men.
Restlessly .It moved down Decatur
: treet. Its’ leaders announcing that
they were going to clean out the dives.
Here and there a frenzied man would
rise on a bale of hay or a wagon and
brandish an "extra” In the air, and the
mob would howl for blood.
Policemen were sent from the sta
tion, but they could not cope with the
mob. Then the reserves were ordered
nut and men of the day watch awak
ened at their homes and rushed to the
iwene.' . But the police had let Its op
portunity slip by. The inob was now
beyond all restraint.
8Hooting Begins.
Suddenly a number of shots rang out
hf Piedmont avenue close to Decatur.
They were fired in the air to frighten
a fleeing negro, but they were a signal
for deadly shooting a little later. Other
chotH were fired. Pletols were shown
boldly now, as the mob realised its
•‘trength.
Then a fire alarm rang out and
t'hlef Joyner in his buggy turned from
Peachtree Into Decatur street and
swept Into the crowd. He never check
ed his horse as he reached the crowded
street, but the mob had heard his gong
and split Into two parts to give him
passage. Down the street he drove at
a furious pace and behind him came
the hose carts and reserve men. Other
companies arrived, nut the mob
warmed In behind them and Jeered at
the firemen.
Water Turned on Crowd.
Here the first effective repulse of the
mob began. Six streams of water with
powerful pressure from the mains were
turned upon the rioters, the firemen
advancing up Decatur street toward
Peachtree and beating the mob (back
before them. Had It been a question
r, f storming a Jatl or of defending anv
one spot the water would have solved It.
Hut the streams only served to drive
the mob, angrier than before, to a
•treet out of reach of the hose.
Then the mob turned toward Mariet
ta Kfroet. By this ffnte the theater*
ring their crowds. From the
„ rt emptying —I
**tar on Decatur street came a thousand
»»en to join the mob. From the up-
t''wn theaters came women and chil
dren. who shrank back In terror from

to their cars. Many sought refuge In
the hotels rather than attempt a Jour-

MAYOR WOODWARD APPEALS
FOR THE REIGN OF THE LAW
To All Citizens of Atlanta:
I appeal to every citizen of Atlanta to settle down again to business and to pay no attention
to the rumors which will doubtlesa continue to go the rounds of the city, over nine-tenths of
which are absolutely false. *
I appeal to you to exert every effort to quell any disturbance which you might see and to
report the Bamo immediately to police headquarters.
I appeal to the negroes to keep off the streets as much as possible, as their presence might
again arouse the animosity of the whites to further action.
I appeal to husbands and sons to rcranin at home after nightfall until all semblance of ex
citement has passed away, knowing that their services are more needed there than on the streets.
These appeals I make with the greatest earnestness and belief that they will be answered.
There have been a number of the better class of citizens drawn into the events of the past
few days because of the general excitement, but now matters have reached the point where no
more lawlessness will be tolerated. Tho law will tako its course. There will be no mercy shown
to any breakers thereof. Affairs must become normal. And so it shall be.
After 8 o’clock Monday night every minor found on the streets will bo arrested unless a sat
isfactory explanation can be given. The police have been instructed, and I wish to notify all
parents.
The saloons will be closed throughout the day, and if at. night it is believed necessary to
keep them closed longer, they will remain closed.
Every protection the civic authorities can give will be given to tho people. This protection
will extend to all law-abiding citizens.
The fair name of Atlanta demands that the most stringent measures shall now be enforced
and to protect this name nothing will be left undone. It is my earnest appeal, desire and belief
that the citizens who have and who are making Atlanta what it is will give their united efforts to
the cause. JAMES 0. WOODWARD, Mayor of Atlanta.

very quiet, but determined mob,
“I nm thankful that all Ahe-papers
did not join In the buslneaa of set-
tins out extras Saturday night,” eatd
Mayor Woodward Monday morning.
"Many of the report! that were pub
lished were not only fuel to the Are, but
entirely false. It la to be (loped In the
future that the paper, will be exceed
ingly careful what they publish when
tlfe newit touches on anything like the
cause of the riot.”
Mayor Woodword showed plainly the
illeguat nnd anger he fell because of
the numerous extras Saturday night.
These extras were sold from one end
of the city to the other, and brought
many hundreds of people to the center
of the city.
At the Qrand, ns well as at the other
theaters, newsboys were ready and
waiting for the crowd when the Anal
curtain had been rung down. The men
bought, read and Joined the mob as
spectators and thus gave "the weight
of their presence to those who were
doing the killing,” ns It was stated by
the mayor.
Mayor Woodward stated Monday
that the most deplorable part of the
whole occurrence was the fact that so
many Innocent negroes suffered.
"The real perpetrators of the assaults
were doubtless hiding while the work
ing negroes were on the streets and
were those who suffered.
"The better classes of the negroes
should he protected, and will be," said
the mayor, “and the lawless class of
ney home. Anil all this time the mob
was swelling In number ami growing
more violent as it swelled.
First Tragedy of th. Night.
In Marietta street. In the very shad
ow of the United States government
building, occurred the Arst recorded
tragedy of the night. A negro, his
head bleeding and his clothing torn,
emerged from the mob and rnn up the
street. A man stepped from the crowd
and Ared and the negro fell.
This was the beginning. Within half
nn hour It was reported that two ne
groes were lying dead under the For
syth street viaduct and another a block
out Marietta street. The mob moved
cm and no negro who came within Its
clutches eacaiied without a terrible
beating. ......
I)y this time, close upon midnight.
every negro who had escaped the riot
era was making his way homeward

mob was losing Its prey.
Negroes Dragged From Cart.
Hut the street cars were halt Ailed
with negroes who had thought them
selves safe In company with respectable
white people. The mob stopped a car
In Forsyth, near Marietta, and dragged
them shrieking from their seats. The
motormnn made an effort to put on
speed but some one pulled the trolley
from the wire. White women and chil
dren In the car saw what followed.

done to carry out these requests.

a large crowd stood around the ratling.
For once the negroes were somewhnt
conspicuous by their absence, the large
bulk of the crowd being whites.
Only a few of the rioting cases were
disposed of at the morning session be
cause of the absence of a number of
the arresting officers. The majority of
the cases will be called In the after
noon. Enough were disposed of, how
ever, to Indicate clearly the attitude of

ing an active part In the rioting.
