Coal Arbitrators Arrive at Capital.
Washington, Oct. 27.—With one or
two exceptions, the parties to the an
thracite coal controversy have arrlv
ed in the city for the purpose of at
tending the conference with tho pres
ident's commission, which is to he
hi id this afternoon, and it is expect
ed that all will be present when the
conference opens, The members of
the commission are all in the city. Not
withstanding there are quite a num
ber of details to be arranged, the mem
: hers of t! commission are hopeful
that they will be able to complete the
| irelim in-ary arrangement at one sitting.
I So far as the operators and miners
\ have expressed themselves, they have
indicated a willingness to subordinate
t b e j r desires in the matter of time and
j place of hearing to the wishes of the
: commission. It is the general un
| derstanding that practically all the
.meetings for the takings of testimony
; will be held in the anthracite regions,
, and it j s believed that the commission
j will be able to get to work during the
present week.
I Another preliminary question which
I will require attention is that as to the
questions to be taken up by the com
| mission. Mr. Mitchell, who reached
, Washington at 2 o’clock this morning,
- accompanied by district President
• Fahy, will press for a general inquiry,
while it is understood that the oper
ators will seek to restrict the inquiry.

Within a few minutes after the

Troops Hsd Eecr. Ordered to Scene bul
Were Too Lata.
Tallapoosa, Ga.. Oct. 25.— IV n
Brown, a 16-year-old negro, was lynch
ed near here last night for assaulting
Mrs. Henry Dees.
The negro was hanged from the iron
bridge which spans the Tallapoosa
river, and his body riddled with bul
lets.
The troops sent here by Governor
Candler arrived too late, as the negro
had bfeen lynched some time when
their train reached here.
About noon Ben Brown stopped at
the home of Mrs. Henry Dees, 3
out, and asked for something to eat.
He thf-a assaulted the woman, chok
ing aid threatening to kill her. Her
outcry aroused the nearest neighbor
and the negro fled, but was run down
bf John William Benton and J. G.
Gray, who brought him to Tallapoosa
with a rope around his neck at 1
o’clock and placed him ,In the cala
boose barely in time to save him from
armed pursuers.
Mob Is Formed.
Another band with rifles and shot
guns soon followed, headed by Caleb
Smith,-Mrs. Bee’s father, determined
on having the negro.
Mayor Hutchins, Rev. Mr. Shanklo
and the best citizens counseled order.
Tho mayor telephoned Judge Jones and
secured a promise that he would con
vene cobrt next Monday to try the
negro. On the strength of this pledge
Smith calmed down and went home,
but later he returned with a greater
crowd* ufiWmnelng that Mrs. Dees was
hardly expected to live.
Mayor Hutchins ■ had previously
wired the governor for troops, antici
pating tho inevitable, The troops
were promised, hut failed to arrive
by the first train, aKMOiigh the train
was held one hour at Atlanta.
Sheriff Shell nut, from Buchanan, did
not arrive on the scene till nearly
dark.
Ropes and cartridges were openly
purchased, and at 7:30 o’clock the
mob marched, broke down the cala
boose him cjpor, to the seized the of negro the crime. and rush- The
ed scene
sheriff was in front of the book store
when the mob smashed the door down.
Not a shot was fired during the entira
attach on the calaboose.
Negro Confessed Guilt.
The negro admitted h's guilt from
the first. The mob, however, took
him into the presence of his victim,
who identified him unhesitatingly. Tha
negro was then carried to the big iron
bridge spanning the Tallapoosa river,
a rope was thrown over one of tha
high cross beams, a noose placed
around his neck and in another mo
ment the body was dangling in space,
and soon thereafter riddled with sliof
and hall and left swinging.
The com# train brought a company
of soldiers from Atlanta, under com
mand of Captain Burton Smith, Tha
train v/as rushed on by Conductor
Waitt.e, who stopped It at the river,
hoping that, the troo; s might arrive
in time to in event the lynching, but
they were just a few minutes too late.
Displayed Great Stoicism.
The victim displayed wonderful sto
lidity. The only words that escaped
his lips as he was about being swung
up were:
“My Cod, have mercy on my poor
soul!”
The mob soon dispersed. This *s
the first lynching that has ever occur
red in this vicinity, and the citizens
profoundly regret it.
The arrival of the trodris by the first
train on time would have prevented
the lynching. The mob somehow
learned that troops were coming and
expedited the matter.
