COUNCIL OFFERS
REWARDS FOR ALL
WHOM GUILT!
City Determined to Punish
Rioters Who Killed or
Wounded Negroes.
HEARSTNOMINATED FOR GOVERNOR
BY THE NEW YORK DEMOCRA1
The determlhatlon of Atlanta to wipe
out any stigma connected with the
event* of the post few day* was clear
ly ahown at the adjourned session of
council Wednesday afternoon when It
was unanimously voted to reward the
capture of any of those who killed or
attempted to kill during the riot. The
resolution was adopted giving $200 to
the captor of any of the murderers. The
reward will be given on conviction.
Captain W. D. Ellis spoke of the ar
tlon taken by the dtlsens* committee,
stating that the committee favored glv
Ing the rewards.
"If the city council of Atlanta favors
and starts the rewards the citizens will
supplement It,” said Captain Ellis. "The
rewards should bo given by the city,
the county and state. We have seen
the mayor and will see the governor.
Captain English also spoke on the
subject.
The mayor had the following com
munication by him to the council read:
"To the General Council of the City of
Atlanta:
"Gentlemen—It becomes my painful
duty to officially call to your attention
the deplorable conditions that have ex
isted in our beloved city sines last
Saturday night. I would hare 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 of your body.
"It ii »o be deeply regretted that
such scenes as were presented upon
our streets on last Saturday hlght
should ever nave occurred, and I do
not believe that they would have been
possible on any other time during the
week than Saturday night, when such
large numbers of people are congre
gated upon the- streets. While there
had been several beastly crimes at
tempted by black brutes upon white
women during tne 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 some Instances, were
upon Investigation found to be utterly
void of any foundation. Such work Is
a atlgma upon reputable Journalism,
and should be, and I believe will be,
condemned by all classes of our people.
"I thoroughly understand that our
people will not tolerate the crime of
assault, at the rams time there Is
nothing that Justlflas the Infliction of
punishment upon Innocent peopli
cording to all the Information that I
have the victims of Saturday night's
outbreak were Industrious, law-abiding
negroes who had no reason to expect
such treatment. While there were a
Fall and Winter Clothing

You will find New and Fashionable Suits, Top Coats, Overcoats, Raincoats,
Trousers, Hats, Shoes, Youths’ and Boys’ Clothing from the famous makers
of America. We are showing an enormous stock of the “Fit-Rite” Brand and
backed up with our
r at many people upon the streets, I
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 press. They
sre the expressions of some of Atlan
ta's foremost dtlssns, people who have
no toleration or palliation for the crime
of assault, yet they are people who
condemn mob violence.
"1 hope that yovr honorable body will
xtve this matter your earnest consid
eration. The fair name of Atlanta be
fore the world demands It, and I rec
ommend 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; and they should not
kill or punish an Innocent, law-abiding
citizen for the vicious crime of a brute.
Respectfully submitted,
"JAMES O. WOODWARD,
"Mayor."

Buffalo, N. V., Sept. 27.—William
Randolph Hearat was nominated for
governor by the Democratic state con
vention at 2 o'clock this morning on
the flrat ballot by an overwhelming
vote. The vote was:
Hearat 202, Sulzer 124, John Dig 17.
Although the opposition to Mr.
Hearat waa feeble, the organized forces
opposing organised a filibustering ex
pedition to deadlock the session.
With Hearat were nominated Stuy-
veaant Chandler for lieutenant gov
ernor and J. ft. Whalen for secretary
of state, both from the Independence
League ticket.
Nominated By Cooke.
Martin Glynn was chosen ns the
candidate for comptroller; Julius Haus
er, of Suffolk, for state treasurer, and
Frederick W. Skene, of Queens, for
state engineer and surveyor.
In the effort to defeat Hearat the
flood gate* of abuse were thrown wide
open. The delegates listened restlessly
nnd then began clamoring for the op
position to cease denunciations.
Mr. Hearst was placed In nomination
by William V. Cooke, of Albany. Mr.
Cooke was followed on :hc lloor by
George Raines, who nominated William
Sulzer, of New York, which was the
signal for cheers. John A. Dlx, of
Washington county. w«* placed In
nomination by Thomas M. Osborne, of

Mr. Hearst'* nomination waa prompt

The hther nominee* were supported
cheerfully by the cohort* of Patrick

Htanchfleld, both captains of the op
position to Hearat.
Those who seconded Sulzer s nomina
tion indulged chiefly In vituperation of
Hearat. Early In the session the flrat

COLD BOTTLES SCRATCHED
OFF RESTAURANT MENUS
••A cold bottle and a hot bird” will
be nil Greek to restaurant waiters In
the future.
There will be no more tete-a-tete
midnight lunches while the orchestra
discourses dreamy waltxes nnd the
paplermaclie palm leaves sway In
rythm fanned by the droning, pleas
ing, consoling, buss of the electric fan.
The city fathers In session assembled
Wednesday said such frivolity must be
done away with, so as to do away with
the lower order of bacchanalian pas
time participated In on the lesser thor-
oughfarea of the city.
No restaurant will be allowed to
serve wine, whisky or even beer. And
no chairs or tables will be allowed In
any saloon.
Alderman Qullllan offered the resolu
tion and It was unanimously passed
after a few feeble skirmishes.
The resolution followed the granting
of restaurant licenses. Twelve licenses
were refused, the places being either
under or at th back of saloons. There
were 145 applications Acted upon.
During the discussion of the matter
Alderman Holland became somewhat
heated nnd declared: “If you stop th
snle of beer In restaurants there won’t
be any place for the prohibition people
to get a drink.”
The ordinance was then passed.
