pact puns THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN. AT MEET! Palma Won’t Agree to Having Any New Elections. OFFICEHOLDERS Backing hbj*up Roosevelt’s Big Stick May Be Called Into Play to Force Action. Havana, Sept. 16.—Opposition from government and moderate aourcee hae earned another temporary lull In the peace negotiatlone. Secretary Taft 1 optimistic statement that he hoped to be able to announce a settlement by this evening now seems doomed to have been visionary. The American peace commissioners had little difficulty at their conference with the committee of liberals and In surgents last night In coming to an un derstandlng. When the terms then agreed to were put up by the govern- emment for approval there was a balk. President Palma, and especially the satellites who have maintained them selves In fat official positions white he was president, objected to the terms as being too favorable to Insurgents. They could not see their way clear to agree to peace under the circumstances. It Is understood practically all the liberals' contentions were agreed to ex cept that Palma should retire. This meant new elections of congressmen and senators elected a year ago and new elections In the municipality. Granting these new elections was to throw a blight upon the legality of Palma's own selection since he was chosen at the same time. He objected for one thing to the position the com promise would place him In before the world. It Is possible that a flourish or two of the big stick may bring Palma and other recalcitrants Into line and Sec retary Taft's confidence may have been based upon the belief that he can at the proper moment bring sufficient pressure to bear to Overcome govern ment objection. It Is not believed the present hitch will endanger the negotiations perma nently. BOYCOTT IS URGED AT MASS (Copyright 190« W. R. Hearst.)

We are going to urge them to return to their work, because we know that Is what they should do. "We appreciate the great horror which the white people feel townrd the negroes for the recent crimes which have been committed, and we want to condemn these crimes as strongly as we can. We honor the white women and every colored man present here would die before he would think of "These are our sentiments, gentle men, and wefvant to end this trouble now threatening our lives and the city of Atlanta. "Wo feel, however, that we can not get protection. We do not feel that the militia nor the police are our friends or are with us In the fullest protection of our lives. It seems to us that wh can not get,thls. If we ore assumed of this and we know It will be given us, we can then co-operate to the fullest extent and do all we can to bring an end to this awful conflict." These statements were made at _ conference between the business men and leaders of tho negro race Tuesday morning In the committee room of the Chamber of Commerce, by Thomas J. Slater, M.

"The. great mass of negroes of At lanta and Fulton county are law-abld Ing citizens. They have been quiet and orderly during the great storm on the city for the past sixty hours. They ought to be protected from mob vlo lence, and If the public and civil au thorltlen have failed to give them pm toctlon they should not forget that they owe a duty to themselves In keep Ing quiet and orderly and Insisting on the execution and enforcement of the law jigalnst all kinds of <*lmes whether committed by whites or blacks. "They condemn the negro rapist, but they Insist Innocent people of their race should not • be made to suffer for the abominable Crimea of the guilty.” This address to the colored people calling upon them to enforce the law was regarded as appropriate and It waa deemed wise to publish It for what effect It may have. White Leaders 8pesk. John Temple Graves addressed the meeting and asked for co-operation from the white people and the negroes to the end of peace and order. Robert F.

Intent and effort of the people of Atlanta to see that the law-abiding negroes received all the protection necessary to save them from Injury and from the destruction of property. Thla assurance was put In very forcible language by Mr. Maddox and had the effect cV assuring the negroes present that they could go among their people and urged them to return to their homes and work. Promise to Do Best. * This they promised to do end further to use every effort to prevent any more trouble. Mayor-elect Joyner assured the leaders of the race that protection would be afforded them. The general effect of the meeting was regarded as very beneficial and it Is believed that although the negroes who desire to behave themselves feel some apprehension that they will be attacked by white mobs, yet the strong nssurances which were given them at the meeting. It Is expected will have a very strong Influence In quieting large portion of the rioting element.

Thirty-live years ago one of the greatest factories for making' Imple ments of the iton* ege, such ns adzes, chisels and spear points, teas near the east end of New Guinea. Ono of tho small tribes there had made a reputa tion for chopping stones and grinding them to perfection by great effort. The natives carried on a barter trade In these objects, which were sold all along the coast clear to the northern shores of the leland. The tribes, far and wide, were certain that no other makers of stone Implements rivaled the craftsmen of Suloga. About five years later an epidemic swept the villages occuplsd by these stone workers nearly clean, and with them died their special art of fashion ing these articles. The few survivors fled to Suloga Beach, where they built two houses, In which they and their descendants have lived. A British anthropologies! expedition led by Dr. Sellgman recently visited the remnant of the tribe, when- they found an old man, who said to them: "My grandfather was a famous work er of stone, and he taught his son, my father, whom as a child I often saw at work. Undoubtedly ho would have taught me as I grew up but for the big sickness. He died, and I was never taught, nor were any of my genera tion." » The explorers visited the quarry from which the volcanic stone that was fash ioned Into Implements was obtained. They saw that a vast amount of work had been done there. The stone flakes that had been chipped from pieces of rock covered acres and were several Inches In depth. Among these stone chips were many Implements In the earlier stages of j manufacture, but no finished tools were found. The natives eay their fathers used break the rocks Into workable frag ments by dropping one upon unoth.-r from as high as a man could lift. The ultimate shape of the implement d.>- ided greatly on the workman's skill ■ cleaving: and after he had secured his piece ofnearly suitable sliupc the work was little more than begun. Tim tool had then to bo carefully roughed out, and Anally came the grinding, which was hard and long work. The explorers found about a dozen of these old grindstones. The depres sions worn Into them by the grinding process were circular, showing that the grinding motion was round and round rather than back and forth. Sand and water .were used to help the grinding SALESMAN COMMITS SUICIDE BY JUMPING BEFORE MOVING TRAIN 8peel.I to Tbs Georgian. Charlotte, N. C, Sept. 25.—Charles A.
