RESOLUTIONS PASSED
DENOUNCING MOB RULE
At nuuia meeting of Atlanta citizen* at the court liouze Tuesday after
noon tlio following resolutions were adopted:
"Whereat, Thlz city has, been the scene of a series of Horrible crimes
against women, causing great excitement among the people and leading
to disorder and mob violence; and,
"Whereas, The spirit of retaliation for crime, working under cover
of the ;rv>!>, makes no discrimination between the Innocent and the guilty
and vx'Mce the murder of Innocent and law-abiding citizens: and,
• vVhMios, The first duty of any government Is to protect life, liberty
and property, and the first duty of the citizen Is to obey the law and sup
port constitutional authority In Its enforcement; and,
“Wherea*. Present state of affairs had demonstrated the . fact that
crime breeds crime and lawlessness begets lawlessness, and when a ques
tion between the races has arisen the existence of riot, acts of violence
and the spirit of the mob engenders hatred, fans the flames of racial pas
sion and spreads the spirit of anarchy until the very foundations of gov
ernment arc shaken; therefore, be It
•'Unsolved,-That this meeting, composed of the members of the cham
ber of commerce and other law-abiding citizens, does solemnly, protest
against the spirit of lawlessness that has tarnished the fair name of our
city and led to the commission of crime.
"We denounce the rowardly and brutal murder of Innocent people and
the wounding of others, sml we call upon all good men'to lift their voices
for law and order and use their Influence to check the rtyjous spirit thdt
Is-ahroad In the community.
"We deplore the crimes of both races which have been committed. by
their worst elements, and we solemnly protest that mob rule 4 thfl worst
evil that can afflict society, for It carries In Its train all the crimes .that
human helngi are capable of, and if not checked will lead to the destruc
tion of government Itself.
“We call upon the authorities of our city and state to crush anarchy
with an Iron hand and spare neither expense nor force to do so.
"And we demand that the authorities .spare no effort to put a strip .to
ths assaults on our women. If It takes more men nr more money to do It
that the authorities set accordingly. Our womanhood must and shall be
protected.
"It Is not right nor just that the Innocent- both white and black, shall
be punished for ths sins of tha guilty, snd the events of the past few days
prove beyond doubt that It Is the Innocent of both races that are made to
suffer as the result of the unrestrained effort of the mob to avenge the
dastardly outrages that should be and must he punished by law.
"We further declare that tt la the duty of our city to care for the alck
and wounded of both races and to bury the dead, and we pledge our will
ingness to assist the authorities If needed.
"Where government has not been able to protect life the common In-
stlnts of humanity demand that It at least care for the victims of violence
In sickness and death.”

of Atlanta was never shown more
clearly than by the ringing addresses
made by prominent men In behalf of
law and order mid protection of every
class.
• The meeting was called fur I o'clock
by' Sam D. Jones, president of the
chamber of commerce. When Chnlr-
man Jones called the meeting to order
the court room was tilled to overflowing
with merchants, mamifnr.turers, pro

who have made Atlanta the pride of
the South. Several negroes were pres.

has tried to restore order—and they
were given a courteoua hearing. There
was no race hatred shown In this meet

The speech of Ch- T. Hopkins,
who began the disc. aroused the

of Innocent negroes In the strongest

Dallas, Texas, Sept. 20.—Senator Jo.
soph W. Bailey last night Issued a
statement replying to the charges made
against him by Henry Clay Pierce In
the recent Investigation held In St.
Louis. In beginning the statement
Senator Bailey reviews tho contest*
that he has hud In his past campaigns
and the charges brought against- him
by the opposition, In hla flrat campaign,
and then discusses as fellows:
"The first step In that cam
paign of malevolence and de
traction was to have a purport
ed Interview with the Hon. Roger Sul
livan, of Illinois, assailing me, sent
broadcast over the country. Mr. Sulli
van promptly denounced that Interview
as n falsehood made out of tho whole
cloth. The next step was to circulate
the story that the Tennessee proper
ties, for which I am the attorney, be
long to the Standard Oil Company: and
they sought to Impose this falsehood
upon the fair-minded nnd Justice-lov
ing Democrats of Texas. Some of the
men who are circulating that story
know, and all of them could have
leurned with very little Inquiry, that
the Standard Oil Company had no In
■tlon with these projv.

Committee Appointed,
The following committee was ap
pointed to advise the meeting whnt to
do Tuesday evening toward allaying
the trouble; Captain J. Tl'. English,
D. Ellis, Forrest Adair, A. Murphy
and A. B. Steele.
Before the committee retired Captain
English said to the meeting that no
tereat In or connection
ertles, nnd that they were owned _
C. Plorce; J. C. Vanblarcom, W. H,
Thompson and many other lending bus.
Iness men of HI. Louis. The munici
pality of Nashville Itself, In order to
provide her people additional and com
peting railroad facilities, had subscrib
ed for H,000,000 ot the stock of the
railroad. The vice president of the
railroad was Mr. Goltra, who Is not
only a prominent business man of St.
Louts, but Is n close personal and po
litical friend of Mr. Bryan. In fact, Mr.
Ooltrn entertained Mr. Bryan on hla
yacht In the harbor of New York while
Mr. Brynn was watting for the great
reception which was tendered him there
on August 20.
Had No 8*ourltl*s.
"The railroad had passed through on*
receivership, and was on the verge of
another (then I was called Into the
case. I accepted the employment, and
performed exactly the same kind of
service that would have been expected
of any other reputable lawyer. The
statement, so Industriously circulated
by some, that 1 'put 213.000,000 worth
of securities In my pocket, to 1)0 with
them ns I pleased,’ Is little less than
ridiculous. I did not have 113 worth of
securities In my pockets. Every dol
lar's worth of the bonds of that railroad
company were pledged Its Indebted
ness. and tt was my task to prevent
those who held them from enforcing
their Hens and sacrificing the securi
ties at n forced ante. That I succeed
ed In doing this Is n mntter of great
satisfaction to me. ns It was to my
clients. I not only mnnaged the prop
erties committed tn my charge In n
way to save my clients a large sum
of money, but I also managed It In a
way that gave to the city of Nashville
three Important nnd competing railroad
systems, where beforo It hnd suffered
In the grasp of one, nnd the people of
that city testified their npproval of the
disposition which 1 made of the rail-
road by public meetings nnd speeches.
It would be difficult to convince them
that I hnd delivered them over to the
spoliation of n gigantic monoply.
Had No 8*cr*t Employment,
'The third step iir the process was to
pretend that the testimony given by
Mr. Pierce disclosed a secret employ
ment of me In connection with those
more permits to carry arms should bo
Issued, except by the committee which
had Just been appointed.
"The county and city and stnte au
thorities have not been noting together
ns thev should have," snld he. "This
body should ndopt a resolution direct
ing the sheriff, the military, the police
nnd the mayor to co-operate. The sher
iff has been Issuing entirely too many
permits for the purchase and carrying
of weapons."
Captain English snld that the people
who hnve been doing the rioting ere a
class which has nothing to lose nnd nil
to gain by their lawless nets and Hint
these Godless men havo brought dls
grace to ttie city.
Negro Makes Appeal-
Dr. G. 8. Penn, a well-known negro
physician, made a ringing appeal for
protection against the worst of both
white and black races. Ho declnred
that the people of Id* class wanted law
and order and protection of while wom
en. and were ready to fight with the
white men against the criminal blacks
Ho said he was Informed that n plot
was being made to dynamite hla home,
and he asked that he he given some
protection. He was given hearty ap
plause nnd stoat were taken to provide
him proper protection.
A. J. McBride, the real estate dealer,
Indorsed what Dr. Penn had said and
vouched for Dr. Penn’s character as a
citizen. He made an appeal for pro
tection of the property of Innocent ne
groes.
Guard for Gammon 8tm!nary.
Dr. John E. White, pastor of the 8*0-
nnd Baptlet church, asked thst a guard
be furnished for Gammon Seminary,
where, he said, 200 negro women
and children had fled to aleep that
night.
After the reading of the resolu
tions It was voted that the newspapers,
which had been asked to Issue extras
ontatntng the resolutions, Issue no ex
tra editions, owing to the lateness of
the hour and the effect which the
newsboys' yells'might have In the resi
dence streets.
The following were added to the com
mittee of safety: Charles T. Hopkins.
Luther Z. Rosser. Lamar Collier, H.
Y. McCord and Sam D. Jones. The
committee retired to hold a meeting at
the Fourth National Bank building at

propertlea. Some of the very men en
gaged In this movement have been
complaining for months that I was at
torney of these very properties, and
they knew all about It a year ago. Tha
employment was a perfectly proper
one, and such os any reputable lawyer
would have accepted without t the
slightest hesitation. Not only that, but
the newspapers of this state, together
with those of St. Louts and Nashville,
contained repeated references to those
properties and to my connection with
them. When I flrat went to Nashville
to look over the properties, the news
papers of that city contained extended
notices of my presence there, and
the purpose which had brought me.
During that summer and faU I was
called to St. Louis four or five different
times, and on each occasion the St.
Louis papers made mention of the
fart that I was there to Confer with
those Interested In the Tennessee
properties.”
Senator Bailey here gives a dis
patch sent nut from Nashville and pub
lished In the Texas newspapers. Con
tinuing, he says:
No Attempt at'Concealment.
'There never was the least attempt
to conceal my attorneyship for those
properties, nor was there the least
reason why It should be concealed. The
objection to my employment as the at
torney <f those properties must pro
ceed upon the theory that a man In
public office has no right to pursue any
private business; and such a doctrine
If anplled to all men and all offices,
would reduce the public life of this
country to a point where only the rich
men or rascals could afford to accept
on office. If I had found that my time
nnd strength would not permit to servo
as a senutor and to prartlre law at the
same time, I would have abandoned the
law without the slightest hesitation,
because I have always believed, and
acted upon the belief, that the public
service holds the Jblghest claim upon
every man who undertakes It; or, if 1
had found that there was any con
flict between my duty to my clients
nnd my duty to my constituents, I
would have declined all employment as
a Inwyer. because I would not suffer
myself placed in any position where
my duties might draw me In different
directions. But neither has been true
In my experience."
Senator Bailey then cites the Con
gressional Record to show that he%r*s
a regular attendant at the national
congress nnd continues:
Never Betrayed the People.
"Although I have been pursued with
n bitterness unparalleled In the politi
cal history of this state, the most
reckless and malicious of my enemies
has never yet ventured to Jell the peo
pie of Texas where I havo betrayed
their Interest by speech or vote, nor
Instnnced a single case where my em
ployment as a Inwyer related In the re
motest degree to the legislation of con
gress or tn the action of any depart
nient of the government. Their whole
argument Is that, because I nm in pub-
lie service, I- shall not be permitted to
pursue my honorable profession In
perfectly legitimate way.
“I shall continue to give—ns for fif
teen yenrs I have given—an unselfish
nnd undivided attention to my public
duties when they require attention;
nnd 1 shall conttnua to gjvp—as I have
given—my time to private business
when my time la not required by my
public duties. 11 ‘
Lawyer and Senator,
have never ha<i a client tn my
life who has attempted to Influence my
official action, nnd the men who em
ploy me about their Important affairs
have too much confidence In my Integ
rity to suppose' for one moment that
they could control or Influence me as a
senator. Of course, I know [hero are
men of low character and Intellect who
would slavishly do the bidding of any
man or corporation who might employ
tholr services and pay them a fee, but
such men seldom obtain Important em
ployment as lawyers, and such men
cun never secure election as n senator
from the stnte of Texas. The upright
nnd hlgh-ininded lawyer gives to his
clients the best of his legal learning
nnd ability. no more than that, nnd
he would drive from his presence any
client who presumed to think that in
retaining him ns a lawyer he had se
cured the right to command him In
respect to any mntter outsl le of the
legal controversy. Since the founda
tion qf this republic the greatest sena
tors, whose reputations as lawyers
could commnml clients, have practiced
their profession with propriety and
without criticism. Some great lawyers
have not practiced law while In the
public service because they hnve been
men of Independent means nnd did not
feel under the necessity of providing
for their faintly nnd tholr old age by
pursuing still their professions, but the
wisest and the best of them have not
thought It Improper or unpatriotic to
attend tn their private business In their
own time.
Discusses Kirby Fes.
"The first criticism against my bust
ness dealings, Is with reference to my
attorneyship for the Hon. John H. Klr-
hy, and the Kirby Lumber Company,
which Is In substance merely a restate
ment of the same matter from the Cos
mopolitan Magazine. The Cosmopoli

Kirby sell anything to the Santa Pe

go to any other Wall street financier.
"It Is, however, unnecessary to oc
cupy space In pointing out the various
falsehoods of this circular, because the
attack Is baaed entirely upon my

27th of June. As that speech was

of the circular to which I will make re
