THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN. 3,000 ATLANTA HOMES WITHOUT SERVANTS Hotels Locked UpTheir Waiters Saturday For Protection. When It cbmes to servant problemii In the acute and concrete stage, Sun* . day In Atlanta set a standard hard to duplicate. It Is estimated that at least 3,000 h' inca were servantless and that in as many more the cooks and house serv ants were kept on the place, and In dozens of business houses where negroes 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. 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. Unless a family lived in the central portion of the city It hnd to go Iceless—or thnt same young man who peeled the pota toes had to go to the factory with i 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 some of their competitors snd had their regular help. The negro messenger boys employed by the Postal Telegraph people were kept in the rail room all night. $18i50£CASH GONE Vault of Chicago Trust oC, Robbed in Mysterious ’Manner.

CABS DESERTED IN THE STREETS When the rioters Saturday night be gan to cease 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 •uffer. The night ImVks 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 as beat they knew how. But 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 AtIMnta. The hacks, however, were not the only vehicles divested of their negro drivers. The hotel baggage wagons suffered Jhe same fate und on Sunday white attaches were mounted on the high seats. 00<KIOOOOOCKJOOOOOOO<JOO<IOOOO o a O SULTAN OF TURKEY 0 O ATTACKED BY CANCER.

O oooooooooooooooooooooooooo Do YourJMs Fit? Do You Feel Snug end Comfortable Around Your Waist Line After a Hesrty Meal. Did your fast meal taste deliciously good to you, and did you eat all you wanted? Could you have patted your rotundity In glee and felt proud of your appetite nnd of your good strong stom ach?* Do you feel rosy now because your last meal gave you no Inconven ience whatever? If not, you have dys pepsia In some form, and probably never realized It. If you have the least trouble In your Stomach after eating, no matter bow little or how much you eat, there Is trouble brewing and you must correct It at once. Most all stomach troubles come from poor, weak, scanty gastric Juice, that precious liquid which ought to turn your food Into rich, red blood. If you have nausea, your gastric Juice Is weak. If you have sour risings or belching*, your food Is fermenting; your gastric Juice Is weak. If you have loss of appetite, your gastric Juice Is weak. If you have a hloaty feeling of aversion to food, your gastric Juice Is weak. Tou need something In your stomach to supply the gastric Juice which Is scanty, and to give power to the weak gastric Juice. Stuart's DyUpepsla Tab lets do this very thing. Now /think—one grain of one of the Ingredients of these wonderful little tablets digests 3.000 grain?* of food. They are several times more powerful than the gastric Juice in a good, strong, powerful stomach. They actually di gest your food for you. Besides, they inereuse the Jlow of gastric Juice, Just what you need to get all the good pos- ■lble out of everything you eat. You will never have thnt “lump of lead" in your stomach nor any other stomach “Wonderland.” One of the best attractions of the season nnd one that should draw Im mense audiences to the Grand, will be presented Monday night and Tuesday night, with matinee Tuesday afternoon. “Wonderland” Is a most pretentious spectacle. The book and lyrics are by Ulen MacDonough. The music Is by Victor Herbert. Julian Mitchell* has aptly been called "the wizard of stage effects," and Is the producer. Joseph M. Unites is the manager. Little Chip and Mary Marble are the principal fun- makers of u company of over sixty people. “Wonderland” Is a fairy tale told by clever comedian« surrounded by a host of pretty girls elnd In brilliant raiment and costly vestments of silk and satin, moving through a long series 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. Tho same cast which appeared for an entire season at the Majestic theu- ter In New York will appear here. “The Toast of tho Town,” Mr. Fitch has written a strong ploy In “The Toast of the Town,” which will be presented Wednesday nnd Thursday at the Grand, by Jane Ken- nark and a splendid company. The story of the play Is that of Bet ty Singleton, the London actress, who married the Duke of Molumbury, only to find herself discarded for other fa vorites, shnmed and abused after bear ing bis drunken debauchery for a year, ah® leaves him.

This piny Is said to he one of the absolute novelties of the season, uniting ns It <1oe**the popular features of hlgh-rlass comedy, nnd strong domestic drama. The story of how "Baxter," an up-to-date commer cial traveler, “butts In” and spoils the attempt of u country shyster to rob and 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, nnd nil ends happily. The “Baxter" of the play will he Intrusted to the capable hands of Mr. Sidney Toler and admir ers of this popular young actor are sure of seeing him at his best. Some remarkable scenic features are pre- seated, the chief of which represents an apple orchard and <Juck pond, nnd Is said to be one of the most elnborntc rural stage pictures ever attempted The part of “Hilly Baxter,” the genial, manly and witty "good fellow," Is a character entirely new to the stage and Is a welcome relief from the stereo typed brand of stage heroes. Saratoga, N. Y., Sept. 24.—On tho eve of tho state Republican convention the delegates are all at sea, but one thing seems settled, and that is Governor Higgins will not be a candidate for renomlnntlon. 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 hls wishes known today. Woodruff, Parsons, O'Brien, Ward, Griener, Kranchol, Hendricks, Aldridge and Barnes are all here, but they can not forecast what Is going to happen. Slates are made only to be broken. Platt is not here, nnd this is the first state convention since 1800 that he has missed. Senator Depew's absence Is commented upon today. He has attend ed every state convention In tho 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 nnd Bruce. Woodruff, how ever, Is ambitious to go to the United States senate, and this may leave tho way open for Bruce, who would 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 whldl 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; James O. 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 J. Conners at the Iroquois. There are good evidences that every power of the Rj-an-Sheehan-Belmont ring la 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 111 throw their Influence to Hearst. Tents and Stores Sent Ashore From U. S. Warships. CHANCE FOR PEACE IS NOT SO GOOD Government Troops and Rebels May Clash Near City of Havana. HARDWARE COMPANIES SELL OUT OF FIRE ARMS Since the rioting began Saturday night the Anderson Hardware Compa ny, at the corner of Kdgewood avenue and Peachtree street, has sold out Its entire stock of pistols, except a few very cheap and a few very high-priced weupons. The stock consisted of about 400 pistols of various makes and sizes, and none, of these were sold to negroes. Besides this unprecedented sale of small arms more than too rifles have been sold to white people only, and on Monday n crowd was about the door all morning trying to buy firearms and ammunition. This had been forbidden by the authorities, however, and noth ing to shoot with was obtainable. The clerks of this store worked until dnyllght Sunday morning nnd most of the day Sunday selling guns and pis tols for the protection of the homes of Atlantans. No one Wua prepared for the situa tion, and most of the smaller dealers and pawn shops had sold out before the trouble began to brew In earnest. CALM IS RESTORED AFTER WILD RIOTING Continued from Peg# One. coming car/brought Its quota to swell the mob. Most of these late arrivals were 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 uctual violence.

Humors From 8utfurbs. From the suburbs came most of the rumors. Early In the afternoon a squad of police was hurried to a point fur out on Marietta street, where a mob had attacked several negroes.

Havana, Sept. 24.—All is In readiness to land a force of 3,500 marines and blue jackets In Havana, fully equip pod 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 Is not so san gulne as it was yesterday. The rebel field leaders, I learn, are inclined Insist on assurances that there will be new election, which assurance Mr. Taft declines to give. He refused to day to discuss the situation. Messrs. Taft nnd Bacon held a con ference today with Jose Miguel Gomez, Juan Gualberto Gomez, Pclayo Gar cia, Senator Oazo, 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 I 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 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 diplo matic corps that nothing short of American Intervention will restore and maintain order. Colonel Avalos, with 600 government troops, with machine guns, arrived at GuannJay at 11 o'clock yesterday morn ing, having marched from Candelaria on the way to Havana from Plnar del Rio. If they march to Havana they will come into direct contact with General Pino Guerra’s troops, who are camped on the road leading from Guanajay to the capital. General Guerra Informed Senator Zayas that unless CQlonel 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 tho 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.

With the late Incoming street cars additional horrors occurred. Every car brought a number of negr-.es returning from the outskirts, nnd these were greeted with yells of glee by the riot ers. Every negro—woman as well as 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. But the negroes were brought at rapid Intervals into the heart of the disorder. Mayor Tries to Quiet Mobs. It was Mayor Woodward himself who turned in the fire 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 boots. lie Jumped from hls ros trum and-ran to the fire 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 city clocks the uptown streets were quiet again nnd but for rumors of riot ing In the suburbs It api>eured that the misrule of a night was over, thn^ the mob had spent Its temper In tramping over the streets und the morning might bring peace. But the next day was Sunday, when the class that makes u mob has no occupation but to throng the streets. The idleness brought Its results In a day of scat tered riots and n night of fear. When early risers hurried to the downtown streets Sunday morning they expected to find a scene of wreck age und turmoil. Instead they found a dulet city 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. Soldiers In Marietta Street. Mnrtetta street was the center of the military. Here several companies were marshaled, some with rifles stacked.und blankets piled In heaps, while others marching from point to point. Home sleepy detachments, wearied # from a restless night, were sleeping on the asphalt. Colonel Clifford Anderson, Adjutant Burton Smith nnd other of- leers conferred on the duties of the lay. The military, ordered to the streets [i* prevent a repetition of the scenes >f the night before, served to draw almost as Mg 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. Home of the strollers objected vigorously w hen ordered t«» move on. some protested against being ordered i off their own streets by men In uni form, but no resistance to the troops j was offered. Through the morning hours the city was quiet, but for occasional reports of attacks on stray negroes in the sub- I urbs. But as the afternoon wore on safe. 'ompany's plant, West Peachtree place, from Whltter Mills, from far out Whitehall street, came repeated calls for protection. When militia nnd police responded these rumors were found to be exag gerated, though there were many cases of attacks on negroes by small crowds of men. Beports 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 fired upon and others were greeted with a hnil of stones while passing through negro localities. It was necessary to withdraw all cars from the Pittsburg, Jftburn avenue and Houston street lines long before mid night. From Pittsburg, the scene of the no torlous 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 white girl there and In the fight 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 was quiet at Pittsburg and there had been no disorder worth mentioning. Saloons Are Closed. Eihiy In the afternoon the police board held a meeting at headquarters. Mayor Woodward announced that he hml ordered every saloon to remain closed until farther orders nnd had In structed pawnshops and hardware houses to refuse to sell weapons of any kind. All who tried to buy pistols Sun day were refused until they could ob tain an order from the military author ities. Many men tried to purchase weaiwms for the protection of their homes. Fire aft Kirkpatrick Home, o'clock a fire alarm was turned In and the home of \V\ W. Kirkpatrick, 'a pi to! avenue, was found In flames. Two negroes had been dis charged that day by Mr. Kirkpatrick, and when the fire was extinguished It was found that the walls had been saturated with kerosene. Several oth er abirmes followed and Incendiarism was feared, but no conflagration fol lowed. At midnight the Governor’s Horse Guards, which had patrolled the suburb an streets, returned to r»pdrt that everything was quiet and the situation well in hand. From every section of the city reports from police and mili tary confirmed the impression that no more trouble would follow. The sol diers in the uptown streets stretched themselves up»n the pavement for an hour or two of rest, and save for the pickets on their bents* there was' no movement by the troops. In Decatur street there was no sign of life, save for a few patrolmen. No Sunday night since Decatur became the haunt of vide 1ms been marked by such abso lute quiet, A few shots echoed from various parts of the city after mid night, but these marked the last of the rioting. Atlanta slept, restlessly but 5? PERFORMERS HAVE NARROW ESCAPE Wabash, Ind., Sept. 24.—Fifty-two persons connected with an amusement company which has been exhibiting at Fort Wayne, Ind., had a narrow esenpe from death near here today. They were in a special car which left the track and was held suspended over a deep ditch. Fifteen of the occupants were injured, but none seriously. FAMILY RUNT. “Coffee ha. been need in our family of eleven—father, mother, live .on. and four daughter.—for thirty year*; I am the elde.t of the boy. and have always been considered the runt of the family and a coffee toper. "I continued to drink It for year, until I grew to be a man, and then I found 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 1 changed from coffee to Pos- tum, being the first one In our faintly to do so. «I noticed, as did the rest of the family, that I was surely gaining strehgth and flesh. Shortly after I was visiting my cousin, who sa/d: 'You look so much better—you’re getting fat.' 'At breakfast bis wife passed me a large-sited cup of coffee, as she knew I was always such a coffee drinker, but I said. 'Xo. thank you.' 'What!' 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 was. but my cousin had stom ach trouble nnd could not sleep at night front drinking a large cup of coffee three times a day. Ho was glad to learn about Postum ,but said he never knew coffee hurt anyone. "After understanding m.v condition and how I got well he knew what to do for himself. He discovered that coffee was the coubc of hls trouble, as he never used tobacco or anything else of the kind. You should now see the change In him. We both believe that If 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., Hattie Creek. Mich.

Crow left on the Air Line Belle train at 7:12 o'clock this morning Mr 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. Hawkins was removed to the Fulton county Jail for safe-keeping 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 Kira- sey set the hearing an 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 Is charged with the murder of Hoke Hunt, eon of Dr. A. W. Hunt, of Flow ery Branch. Reed tvaa tried at the July term of Hali 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 will hold the term In October. W Negroes Were Forced to Get Off Cars by Car Inspectors. • Sunday night was quiet—compare- tlvely. But there was trouble, and there were alarms, some false, gome real. The entire cjty Jay awake In ex- pcctation of trouble of greater serl- 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 varl- 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 hls brakes and cut off hls current, hut before the car had stopped the gang made a rush f ( >r 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 nnd 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 und 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 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 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. ERA GMENJS OF MAN'S BOD Y FORM MURDER MYSTERY; NE W YORK POLICE BAFFLED New York, Sept. 24.—The most star tling murder mystery that has 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 arms 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. 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.

Y., Sept. 24.—Throwing herself across the coffin of Wilbur Winshlp, aged 3, son of Herbert Win- ship, a farmer, of Cowles Comers, 12 mile* 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, who had gathered to attend the fu neral, nnd for a time there were threats against the girl's life. Her confession also solved the mystery In the firing of the Winshlp burn 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 der in the first degree. TWO PERSONS HURT IN MINTS Two Crowded Trolleys in Chicago Struck by Fast Freight.
