THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN.
OFFERS
WHOIJE GUILTY
City Determined to Punish
Rioters .Who Killed or
Wounded Negroes.
The determination of Atlanta to wipe
out any - stigma connected with tho
event* of the pa*t few day* wa* clear,
ly ehown at the adjourned «e*slon of
council Wednesday afternoon when
was unanlmoualy voted to reward the
capture of any of those who killed or
attempted to kill during the riot. The
resolution was adopted giving 1200 to
the captor of any of the murderer*. The
reward will be given on conviction.
Captain W. D. Ellis spoke of the ac
tlon taken by the citizens' committee,
stating that the committee favored glv
Ing the rewards.
"If the city council of Atlanta favor*
and starts the rewards the citizen* will
supplement It." said Captain Ellis. "The
reward* should bo given by the city,
the county and state. We have seen
.the mayor and will see fhe governor.
Captain English also, spoke on the
subject.
The mayor had the following com
munlcatlon by him to the council read
"To the General Council of the City of
Atlanta:
"Cfent'lemen—It becomes my. painful
duty, to officially call to your attention
the deplorable conditions that have ex
Isted it, opr 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 of your body. .
"It i. to be- deeply regretted that
such scenes as were presented upon
our streets on last Saturday night
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 durjng tne past few weeks, yet
I do not believe that violence would
have been resorted to If It had not
been-for (lie 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 ts
a stigma upon reputable Journalism,
and should be, ana I ■ believe will be,
condemned by all clashes of opr people,
t "I thoroughly understand that our
people will not tolerate the .crime of
a'g?tbat a
punishment upon Innocent people. Ac
cording to all the Information, that I
l have' tho victims of 1 Saturday night’s
outbreak Were Industrious, law-abiding
negroes, who' had no' reason to expect
Such treatment. While there were a
5 rent many people upon the streets, I
o 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 th thb dally press. They
are the expressions of some of Atlan
ta's foremost rltlaens, people who have
no toleration or palliation for the crime
of asssult,- yet they are people who
condemn mob violence.
"I hope that yovr honorable body will
give 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

to each one engaged. It should be suf

to take the law Into their own hands
when they are sure that they have the

citizen for the vicious crime of a brute.
Respectfully submitted,

In the effort fo defeat Hearst the

nnd then began clamoring for the op
position to cease denunciations.
Mr. Hsarst was placed In nomination
by William V. Cooke, of Albany. Mr.
Cooke was.- followed on the lloor by
George Raines, who nominated William
Sulser, of New York, which was the
signal for cheers.’ John A. Dlx, of

Wednesday said such frivolity must be
done away with, so as to do away with
the lower order of bacchanalian pas-

oughfares of the city.
No restaurant will be allowed
serve wine, whisky or even beer. And
no chairs or tables will be allowed In
any saloon.
Aldermnn Qullllan offered the resolu
tion and It tens • unanimously passed
after a few feeble skirmishes.
Tho resolution followed tho granting
of restaurant licenses. Twelve licenses
were refused, the place* 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 the
sale of beer In restaurants there won't
be any place for the prohibition people
to get a drink."
The ordinance waa then passed.
