LAST TRACE OF TROUBLE GONE; ALL BUSINESS BECOMES NORMAL; WHITES AND BLACKS BOTH CALM Tuesday Night Passed Without Any Trouble. WHITES AND BLACKS HAVE GONE TO WORK No More Rioting or Disorder Is Expected by Authori ties. "The trouble !e over. The entire eq uation la pacific. I do not anticipate any further dtfBculty In preservjng or der.” Colonel Clifford Anderson, command ing the Fifth regiment and other state troops on duty In Atlanta, made this statement Wednesday. His announce ment followed the most peaceful night since the rioting of Saturday. Atlanta presents more of her old ap pearance now. The usual crowd la on the streets, neither larger nor smaller than before the dlorders. Business has been resumed, shoppers are out again, and fall hats and clothing have re- sumed their.old place In conversation. The only difference In the appearance of the streets Is the sight of a few uni. formed soldiers and the absence of ne groes. With the arrest of nearly 300 negroes at Brownsville Tuesday morning, the vigilant patrol of the suburban districts during the day, and the great meeting declaring for law and order In the af ternoon, the crisis was passed and no general outbreak came. Autumn weather has served to cool hot tem pers. There has been time fo, sober thought. The two opposing elements have worn themselves out with watch- Ing and waiting. Atlanta fears no more rioting. No Over-confidence. From the heads of military and civil authorities come assurances that the worst Is passed. There Is no fesltng of orer-confidence—there will be no mis taken withdrawal of guarde. But there will be no offenelve movements by troops or police. All that they ask Is peade. Seven companies of soldiery from other towns,, some from the Second regiment, some from the Third, arrived Tuesday night and Wednesday morning and afford additional protection. They will relieve the tired troops, which have been on duty for several days. The Candler Horse Guards, Troop F, arrived Tuesday night, a splendid set of robust men who attracted attention wherever they went In the city. The troop came unmounted nrtil will serve as Infantry. Companies of the Second regiment arrived ■ f rom Jackson, Barnesvllle and Gridin, under Captains McKIbben, Nash and Beck, respective ly. The Third regiment sent Its first troops to Atlanta Tuesday night. They were companies from Elberton, Captain Hurt; Athens, Captnln Capps, and Madison, Captain Pilgrim. 8till In Raadlntss. These companies will be returned Wednesday to their homes at the order of the adjutant general. All the com panies of the Fifth regiment will be kept la their armories during the day and In readiness to respond to any calls. A thorough patrol will be main tained during the night. Factories, workshops nnd every bus iness enterprise which employs labor ers has opened and every effort Is be ing made to Induce white and black to return to regular occupations and forget the trouble of the past four clays. It Is believed that the resumption of business will go far toward dispell ing III feeling. A thorough guard wgs kept Tuesdny night nnd reports made to military headquarters every half hour. No dis order worth mention took place. The pickets had no trouble In preserving the peace. Gatling Gun at Brownsville. The gatllng gun and a battery was stationed during the night at Browns ville. the scene of the greatest trouble on Tuesday night. The greater num ber of negroes In that vicinity had been either locked up or had lied to other sections, however, and the night was without Incident. A company was posted at Fraser and Richardson streets; a company at Atlanta Uni varsity, another at Hunnlcutt and 1 trmo streets, another at Harris and Hutler streets, and one at Edgewood and Randolph streets. One company was divided Into two platoons and one platoon assigned to tne state capital, w hile the other guarded the city stock ade. Each of these details was Instructed to patrol the territory surrounding Its post and cover a distance sufficient to put It In touch with the next com Pony. Mounted Patrol Kept. f The Horae Guard kept up a mounted patrol of the suburban districts from East Folnt on ths south to the water works on the north, and from Edge- wood on the east to Bellwood and Howells on the west, circling around th. entire city. Colonel Anderson gave a hearty commendation to every branch of mll- hary and civil service. He said: "As the officer In command I highly commend the efficient and willing ser vice of all officers and men In my command. I desire to thank the sher- “■ the county police, the chief of the cl| v police department and his men and nil .the branches of authority for tie very helpful aid they rendered In J'oetlng the trouble. It Is due as much to one as to another of these forces the trouble was so promptly and lively controlled ID so short a MOB LAW ARRAIGNED BY JUDGE PENDLETON CHARGING GRAND JURY That those who have been guilty of rioting during the last few days will be severely punished when it comes to dealing with Judge J. T. Pendleton was indicated by his charge to the grand jury Wednesday morning. lie told that body to take several weeks if necessary in making an investigation and to bring the guilty parties to justice if there was any possibility of doing so. “It is your duty,” said the judge, “to investigate this dis-, order thoroughly and then act fearlessly. The object of punish' ment is not only to punish the guilty, but to protect the innO' cent. “When that lawless mob chased and murdered whatever ne groes it could find Saturday night, those whose duty it is to en force the law were disgraced before the civilized world. “Some one has said that mob lav. in its last analysis is an arehy, but. I tejl yon in its first analysis it is anarchy. The mob takes action without waiting for any developments which will show conclusively the guilt or innocence of the accused. Mob law is not justifiable under any circumstances. It is never founded on correct principles and but rarely—very rarely—on correct sen timent. Criminal assaults are the occasion and not the cause of mobs. None of you was in that riot Saturday night, and the law less element doesn’t regard law and virtue any more than you do. “Atlanta is on trial before the world, and the safety of the city and your safety is in the balance. That mob of Saturday night went wheresoever it would and wreaked yengeance on whom it pleased. It is your duty to proclaim that it shall never happen again add to see, so far as is in your power, that the guilty are punished. “This is no ordinary service you are about to undertake, and you will not come up to your duty if you treat it as an ordinary task. Yon will have to be in session probably weeks and possi bly a month, looting into this affair. If half a dozen witnesses can not. tell you what you wish to know, a hundred might. If it is possible for you to find who is responsible, it is your duty to do it. I know yon will act fearlessly on whatever information you obtain, for your consciences under your oaths will inspire you to do your duty.” COUNCIL OFFERS REWARD FOR ARREST OF LEADERS AND MEMBERS OF MOB ffif. At the adjourned meeting of rouncll Wednesday afternoon a resolution of fering a reward of 1200 to any person arresting and giving Incriminating evi dence against rioters who committed murder or attempted murder was unanimously adopted. Speeches were made advocating this step by Captain W. D. Kills nnd Captain J. W. English, representing the citizens of Atlanta who met In mass meeting. The speeches and other notion taken after the reading of the follow ing communication from Mayor Wood ward: "To the General Council of the City of Atlanta: "Gentlemen—It becomes my -palntu! duty to otfictally call to your attention the deplorable conditions that have ex isted In our beloved city since last Saturday night. I would have ad dressed a communication to your hon orable body at Its session on yester day. but earnest and necessary work In other directions prevented my doing so or even being present at the meet ing ol your body. . "It Is to be deeply regretted that such scenes as were presented upon our streets on last Saturday night should ever have occurred, and I dq not believe that they would have been possible on nny other time during the week than Saturday night, when such large numbers ol people are congre gated upon the streets. While there had been several beastly crimes at tempted by black brutes upon white women during the past few weeks, yet I do not believe that violence would have been resorted to If It had not been for the Inflammatory, sensational newspaper extras that were continual ly flooding the streets; and the reports they contained. In soma Instances, were and should be, and j believe will be! condemned by all classes of our peopta "I thoroughly understand that our people will not tolerate the crime of assault, at the same time there nothing that Justifies the Infliction . punishment upon innocent people. Ac cording to all the Information that I have the victims of Saturday night's outbreak were Industrious, law-abiding negroes who had n oreason to expect such treatment. While there were great mnny people upon the streets, do not believe that there were a great many actually engaged In riotous con. duct. "It Is not necessary for me. at this time, to address you at length, but I think It eminently proper to direct your attention to the preamble and resolu tions printed In the dally pres*. They are the expressions of some of Atlan ta's foremost rltlsens, people who have no toleration or palliation for the crime of assault, yet there are people who condemn mob violence. "I hope that your honorable body will give this matter your earnest consid eration. The fair name of Atlanta be fore the world demands It, and I rec ommond that you offer such a reward as will bring the offenders to a speedy trial, that justice may be meted out to each one engaged. It should be suf ficient satisfaction to those who desire to take the law Into their own hands when they are sure that they have the actual criminal; nnd they should not kill or punish an Innocent, law-abldtng citizen for the vicious crime of a brute. Respectfully submitted, JAMES O. WOODWARD. "Mayor." RIOTS COST THE STATE $7,000 PAY TO TROOPS The service of the national guard In Atlanta since Saturday night nnd up to the dismissal of all out-of-town com panies Wednesday morning, will cost the state in the neighborhood of $7,000. Wednesday morning Governor Ter rell and Colonel Anderson deemed the situation sufficiently quiet to allow all the out-of-town companies to return home. All the Atlanta companies will be held In their armories at night ready for Immediate service If occasion should arise, which every one believes IS Improbable now. Elberton and Athens companies left at noon over the Seaboard; the Mariet ta company returned by suburban cars Wednesday morning, the Madison com pany will leave at 3:20 o'clock, Griffin and Barnesvllle companies at 4. the combined Rome and Undale companies nt 4:60 via the Southern, and the Ce- dartown company via the Seaboard Wednesday afternoon.
