DESPERATE BANDITS HOLD
SRERIFF’S PBSSE AT BAT
Deputies Gradually Close in
on Three Refugees Hiding in
Swamp Near Waycross
(Special Dispatch to The Journal. ..
WAYCR'OSS. Ga., June 23.—With dll
means of exit guarded and some of
Georgia’s most experienced man-hunters
in charge of the search, it is regarded
as merely a question of a few hours be
fore Andrew Solomon, 28 years old, and
Randall Solomon, 30, and James Regis
ter, supposed to be an army deserter,
will be arrested on charges of the rob
bery of trains of the Atlantic Coast
Line, and for assault with intent to
murder.
The refugees have been trailed to a
big swamp near Kirkland, a few miles
northeast of this place, where deputies
are gradually hemming them in, pre
pared for a battle at any moment.
Following the attack on the freight
train the men were tracked by blood
hounds to the house of Jesse Carver,
near Douglas, but fled to the swamp
before they could be captured.
The assault charge* will be made be
cause of the attempt on the lives of
Leroy McWhite, of Albany, and J. W.
Jennings, of Waycross, members of a
train crew running between Waycross
and Albany.
They also are thought to have been
members of the gang which fired on a
freight train near here yesterday.
The men, who are armed with rifles,
are said to be in hiding in a big swamp
near Kirkland, a few miles northeast
of this place. Deputies are gradually
hemming them id, and a pitched battle
is imminent. |
Evidence was found today of hun
dreds of dollars’ worth of merchandise
taken from trains and from stores and
depots in the vicinity of Kirkland. It
is also stated that the officers expect to
connect one or more of the men hiding
in the swamp near Kirkland with a re
cent murder committed in Kirkland,
when two persons were seriously shot
and another fatally wounded by loads
from shotguns.
Special agents of the Atlantic Coast
Line are remaining in the scene of the
shooting and robbery yesterday. That
the alleged outlaws will resist every
effort to capture them is known, and
officers are taking no chances with
them.
The elder Solomon is an escaped con
vict from Berrien county, and today it
is claimed that the convict warden of
Berrien has been aware of his where
abouts for some time. The younger
Solomon also * is wanted on a charge
of assault with intent to murder and
has served several sentences on the
Coffee county chaingang.
MARTIN TO LOSE PLACE
IN CUSTOMS SERVICE
NEGRO SHOOTS POLICE;
IS RILED BY BULLETS
Reorganization of Serivce to
End Political Squabble for
Jacksonville Place
BY RALPH SMITH.
WASHINGTON, D. C., June 23.—The
reorganization of the customs service
by the treasury department will result
in the retirement of John W. Martin
as collector of customs at Jacksonville,
Florida.
Martin was recently appointed to this
position, vice W. H. Lucas, resigned,
with the written understanding that he
would voluntarily resign when the reor-
ganziation of the service becomes effec
tive July 1.
He was appointed on the joint recom
mendation of Senators Fletcher and Bry
an, of Florida. The understanding at
the time v/hi'cu .
ing, was that in view of the fact that
the reorganization would consolidate all
of the Florida ports under the control
of a single collector, this office should
be given to a Tampa man.
This was the desire of both of the
Florida senators, and that it met with
the approval of Martin was shown oy
the readiness with which he signed an
agreement to retire when the reorgani
zation became effective.
After getting his commission, which
expires at the pleasure of the presklent,
Martin wrote to Senator Fletcher with
drawing his written agreement to retire
voluntarily upon the reorganization of
the service. He wrote also to Secretary
of the Treasury McAdoo withdrawing
the conditional resignation he filed at
the time of his appointment.
It was learned today that except for
the earnest appeal of Senator Fletcher,
Martin’s resignation vAould have been
accepted today by Secretary McAdoo.
The senator succeeded, however, in hav
ing ^iim retained until July 1. when he
will retire.
The collectorship for the entire state
of Florida will be given to a Tampa
man, to be selected by Senators Fletcher
and Bryan, who are in entire agreement
concerning the matter.
“Mr. Martin accepted the appointment
with the understanding that he would
resign upon the reorganization of the
custom service and the consolidation of
the several Florida districts,” said Sen
ator Fletcher today. "He understood, as
did Secretary McAdoo, that Senator
Bryan and I desired to give the office
to a Tampa man.”
Americus, Ga,, Police Chief
May Die—Three Other
Negroes Are Wounded
(By Associated Pres«.>
AMERICUS, Ga., June 23.—A mob of
500 persons attacked the county jail at
8 o’clock tonight, broke down the cell
doo * wherein a negro, William Redding,
was confined, and dragged him through
the principal streets of the city to the
Buchanan corneV, where they lynched
him. It is estimated a thousacd hotsn
were fired.
The lynching was the result of the
shooting, earlier in the evening, of Wil
liam G. Barrow, who has been chief of
police in this city for the past 25
years, and of the wounding of four ne
groes.
The sheriff and his deputies found re
sistance useless. With steel crowbars
and sledge hammers the angry mob at
tacked the steel doors wherein the ne
gro was confined. The lock was finally
ripped from its fastenings and the door
swung open. Then a rope was tied
about the negro’s neck and he was led
through the streets tp the Buchanan
corner in Lamar street, near the scene
of the shooting of Chief Barrow. There
he was strung up to a cable.
The body had only been cleared from
the ground when the rope broke, but
the negro again was strung up, this
time with better success.
Shooting began from every direction,
and the body was riddled with bullets.
Before the shooting ‘began Rev. Robert
Bivins, pastor of the Furlow Baptist
church, pleaded in vain with the leaders
to spare the life of the negro. His
pleadings lasted during the 20 minutes
required to string the body up to the
cable, and then yells of the crowd and
shots from from many pistols drowned
his voice.
The shooting continued at intervals
for half an ;hour, and the body was left
to hang on the cable.
The lynching was the most sickening
tragedy ever witnessed In Americus.

FREE CIRCUS TO POOR
Edward Tilden Pays $10,000
to Send Circus to Village
Where He Was Reared
(By Associated Press.)
CHICAGO, June 23.—Edward Tilden,
millionaire packer, will produce a cir
cus today for “all the children within
walking or riding distance” of the Til
den estate at Lake Delavan, Wis. That
is the way the advertisements, which
i*ave appeared in the newspapers near
Delavan, have read, and upwards of 2,-
000 children are expected.
The entertainment, which will cost
$10,000, has been planned for twenty-
five years by the host. It has grown
out of a painfully vivid recollection of
a circus that had come to town and
gone away again without his getting
inside the tent. It was fresh in his
mind when he left Delavan a quarter
of a century ago, to come to Chicago
to "make his fortune.”
At the train Edward Tilden told
friends: “I’m coming back some day
and buy the town and give every one a
goocl time and let every boy here go to
a circus.”
A special carload of entertainers left
Chicago for Delavan this morning. A
dog and pony show and a band of forty
pieces left last night. The children also
will see a real aeroplane flight, and they
are to have automobile rides and a big
dinner.

Jury Recommends
That Old Sing Sing
Pen Be Abandoned
WHITE PLAINS, N. Y„ June 20.—
In a presentment handed down yester
day by the Westchester county grand
jury, a recommendation is made that
Sing Sing prison, at Ossining, be aban
doned and a new state institution
built. The presentment denounced the
cells at Sing Sing as unfit for occu
pancy, and the general situation at the
prison as “a scandal to the state.”
Some of the evils which the grand
jury declare exist at Sing Sing are as
follows:
The cell house was built in 1825, and
there are many cells where sunlight
never penetrates, hence chill and damp
ness exist; many inmates have rheuma
tism, and others have left the prison
permanently crippled or suffering with
organic heart trouble; cells are in
fested with verndn, which it is impossi
ble to exterminate; as many as 2,000
prisoners have been lodged in the pris
on at one time, whereas its capacity is
given as 1,200; there are instances of
convicts in pronounced state of tuber
culosis being housed with men in per
fect health; men have been driven in
sane by incarceration in the “dark
cell,” or “the cooler,” and have lost
from twenty-five to thirty-five pounds
in j weight, and, in consequence of
agony and suffering, have attempted
suicide. At night there is no physician
on the premises; contagious disease
cases are not segregated, and the hos
pital is infested with^vermin. The only
cooked food served is boiled, there being
no other means of cooking.

MACON, GA., June 21.—The Bibb

Wants to Know Why Fifty-
Two Roads Wish to Increase
Freight - Rates
WASHINGTON, June 23-^—On its own
initiative the interstate commerce com
mission today began an inquiry into the
application of the fifty-tv/o eastern rail
roads for increased freight rates.

rate case,” of two years ago. Hearings
for railroads and shippers will begin
this fall.
In its order tne commission directed
that the inquiry should cover these two
points: Do the rates of transportation
now imposed by common carriers in of
ficial classifiaction territory yield an
adequate net return; and “if not. what
plan shall be adopted to increase such
transportation charges?”
