usually Light Tues
day Morning.
New York, Sept. 23.—Lined tip with
a score of petty crooks and pickpock
ets for inspection ami then photo
graphed and subjected to having his
finger prints taken,'Paul O. Stensland,
president of the wrecked Milwaukee
Avenue bank of Chicago, today under
ent a trying ordeal at police head
quarters, but bore up well under it.
He seemed glad*, however, when he
was taken to the district attorney’s
office, where he promised to sign
waiver of his right to contest extradi
tion preparatory to boarding a train
Rgcprder Broyles’ police court was
unusually jsjnall Tuesday morning. Only
two cases of rioting were called, which
concludes nearly all of the cases of this
character made Saturday night.
O. B. Cook, a soldier from Fort Me*
pherson, was atliong the crowd on Sat
urday night, and carrying an army gun.
The recorder bound him over under
$1,000 bond for rioting, but omitted tho
30-day sentence.
C. E. Holbrook, a neat appearing
young man, was In the midst ot the
Saturday night crowd, and alleged that
he was assisting the officers, but Po-
llccman Doyal testified that he saw
Holbrook pull down a trolley from a
car at the corner of Marietta and
Peachtree streets. This stopped the
car and a rush was made for some ne
gro passengers, but the trolley wus
repluced and the car moved on before
any damage was done. The recorder
gave him the usual fine of 30 days and
$1,000 bond for rioting.
When Holbrook’s attorney asked to
certiorari the case the Judge replied:
“No, sir; no cases of this kind will
be allowed to be certlorarled, If I can
help It.”
Cicero Finch, a negro 63 years old,
who was engaged to do some painting
at a residence, had an argument with
tho lady, of the house and nmde a warm
defense of the negroes, and snld some
insulting things. The recorder fined
him $13.75, but took occasion to se
verely lecture the white woman, who
had stood for several minutes arguing
the matter with him.
X. H. Bullock and Sterling Mayfield
had cases entered against them for en
tering their saloons on Tuesday morn
ing, on Marietta and Decatur streets.
They claimed to have gone In only
for a moment to turn off the water, or
to perform some small work. The re
corder lectured them and dismissed the
cases.
that may % result in virtually life Im
prisonment.
Stensland slept fairly well In his cell
last night.
Inspector McLaughlin talked with the
prisoner today and the latter declared
his troubles at the hank started when
Investments he had made did not give
returns as soon as exacted, and Cash
ier Hering took advantage of the situ
ation by helping bJjiweJf to the funds.
On his way to board a car for the
criminal courts building. Stensland and
the detective were followed by a crowd
of 500 persons.
Harry Olsen, who Is to prosecute
Stensland In the Cook county court,
gave out additional startling Informa
tion In the following Interview:
"Bank examiners and others are still
$200,000 short. Stensland, who is a
most methodical man, has confessed
among other things that there were
forgeries that he knows of to the
amount of $900,000. He says he can
tell those that Hering wrote because
each of them Is marked with a cross X.
The other forgeries were committed by
other men. some of them minor em
ployees of the bank, whose Identity will
be revealed by Stensland.”

SCUDDED LAD WAS NOT
IN SATURDAY RIOTS
8. 8. Scudder, of 22 Johnson avenue,
called at The Georgian office Tuesday
morning and asked that a statement
be made In reference to the Injuries
sustained by his 18-year-old son.gFrank,
Saturday night.
"The statements made in the papers
that Frank was Injured In the riots
Saturday night does the boy and my
family a grave injustice,” said Mr.
Scudder. "Frank and Willie Mitchell,
a 14-year-old Ijoy, were on their way
home from the business center of the
city about 9 o'clock.
"When they reached the corner' of
Boulevard and Edge wood avenue, three
blocks from homo, they were set upon
by a. gang of young negroes. Frank
was knocked dowp and his skull crush
ed. Though u rock spilt open the
forehead of the Mitchell boy, after
wards requiring several stitches, lie
managed to get away. Frank was
beaten Into insensibility and left In the
street for dead.
"We found him there and sent him
to Grady hospital, where he Is doing
very well. I object to statements that
my boy was in the crowd of rioters,
because he was hurt long before the
trouble started, and the attack on him
by the negro boys was absolutely un
provoked.”
NEGRO COLLEGES
SHELTERED MANY
In order to protect negro women and
children of the vicinity from danger
anti In response to direct appeals, the
buildings of Gammon Theological Sem
inary and Clark University were open
ed Monday night to shelter some 25
terror-stricken people.
There was absolutely no disorder In
that Immediate neighborhood, the trou
ble of Monday night occurring more
than a mile away. Dr. W. J. E. Brown,
for 14 years head of Gammon Semi
nary. deemed It expedient, however, to
riheiter the frightened women and chil
dren in the buildings.
He stated Tuesday morning that the
two institutions stood absolutely with
the Pest white people In the effort to
eradicate the causes leading up to the
,ts. and In preserving order now.
Xeither of the Institutions Jj.ih open-
i yet for the fall terms, and ample
commodathm was thus afforded the
..pie who sought protection there.
To the Editor of The Georgian:
The sudden ending of the Uvea of
the officers of the law last^nlght Is
deplored by this usually and well-
known peace loving community,
must be clearly understood, however,
that thli firing that terminated so fa
tally did not take place on the grounds
of Gammon Theological Seminary and
Clark University.
President W. H. Crogman, of thirty
years’ standing in this comniunlty and
widely respected by the best white peo
ple, Is in charge of Clark University,
and I am In charge of the Seminary
temporarily.
We gathered Into this building the
women and children who desired pro
tection and shelter. From Saturday
night to last night, Inclusive, I have
been busily engaged in furnishing
sleeping quarters and shelter to af
frighted women and children. We
have no saloons In this community.
We had no firing on our grounds. The
few students here for the summer were
orderly and within doors. We used our
influence to keep order and peace.
Dr. Crogman and myself have been
counseling order and peace, and we
are gladAo report that up to this hour
there baa been no disposition tow
violence here.
We»all agree with you that
We held a meeting of the few per*
n .our grounds
Ing resolutions:
Resolutions Passed.
Resolved,-That as residents of South
Atlanta and as dwellers .on the campu-
of these two Institutions, we doph.n-
all crime and believe In the punish
ment of the same. •
That, as formerly, we stand with the
representatives of peace and good gov
ernment In preserving peace.
That we record our unqualified dis
approval and condemnation of the tak
ing of the lives of the officers of the
law.
That we place ourselves upon record
as condemning all attempts to break
the law and we also afflrm # lt as pur
unqualified opinion that crime should
be punished; that we believe in the
purity of the home and that who so
violates that sanctity and purity is an
enemy to society. Is in league with
hell and should receive not pity or
sympathy, but that measure of the law
that sends him to the bar of God to
answer for his unnamable crime.

“FRANKLIN, GOAT MAN,"

of Atlanta to the other as "the Goat
Man,” has for the last time traversed
the thoroughfares of this city In his

Thonfas Evans sent the old tnan, his
cart and his brother, A. E. Franklin,
to the Institution where he will be
cared for by the state.
Franklin made his advent In the

size and has driven down the road of
time behind his faithful goat ever
since. Some times he hits earned his
meat and drink by selling lead pencils
to the public. He has tilso obtained
And In his goat cart he obtained no
toriety. His cheerful mien during the
long years of disablement have caused
many a coin to drop Into the extended
palm and his "Manythankssur" will be
missed by those who passed the cor- j
ners wherfe his presence was a land
mark.
