STORY OF AWFUL T
Not Believed That Mob
Will MaKe Further At
tempt to Lynch Negro
Brute.
Shreveport, La., Feb. 20—The city
is quiet today, and It is not believed
any further attempt will be made to
lynch the negro, Charles Coleman,
who^irutally murdered Miss Lear yes
terday. The presence of troops and
armed citizens in the jail prevented
an attack by the mob, and thd crowd
around the jail had disappeared by
daylight. The grand jury drawn last
night met this afternoon, and it is be
lieved prompt action will be taken.
The troops will probably be kept on
duty until after Coleman’s trial.
LONGWORTHS DID NOT
TARRY IN SAVANNAH.

Nothing of the Great Georgia
Port—Off'for Florida.
Special to The Herald.
Savannah, Ga., Feb. 20. — Mr. and
Mrs. Nicholas Lingworth reached Sa
vannah this morning, but they did not
tarry long. Indeed, it Is doubtful if
the fair Alice and the Ohio Congress
man knew when 'they reached this
beautiful city. They came in shortly
after 5 o’clock on the Southern Rail
way train, and shortly after the train
had deposited the United States mall
it carried, and a few passengers, it
backed out of the shed of the union
depot and was soon on Its way to Flor
ida.
The private car of the couple did not
attract a great deal of attention be
cause it was so early in the morning.
If Mr. and Mrs. Longworth evinced
any Interest in Savannah and its af
fairs they were not enough Interested
in it to get up to take a day-dawning
look at its flat surface. When they
come back it is hoped to get them to
stop longer than the fed mtnuteB they
passed here this morning.

TRUE."
Savannah, Ga., Feb. 20.—No session
of the federal court was held yester
day morning. When the hour arrived
it was ascertained that Samuel R. Pat
ten. the juror in the Greene and Guy-
nor case who was ill three weeks ago,
was again 111. This time his indispo
sition was too serious to admit of his
leaving his room. The hope was held
out, however, that he might be able to
attend court today, and adjournment
was taken. '
In declaring the recess until today,
Judge Speer said in part to the jurors:
"This case makes a very severe test
of the patriotism and manhood of us
all, no doubt about that, but we are
in the line of duty and we can not
escape it. If one of us should get
sick, he would just havo to be sent
to a hospital till he gets well. If all
Will be Royally Entertain
ed by the City aiid the
Business League on the
9th of March.
The city of Albany and the Albany
Business League will appropriately en
tertain the congressional committee
which will visit Albany on the morn
ing of March 9.
As has been previously announced
in The Herald, the Albany Businesr
League, through the efforts of Con
gressman J. M., Griggs, has secured a
visit from the congressional Commit
tee on Rivers and Harbors, which will
visit Columbus, Apalachicola, Gulf
port, Miss., and other Southern cities.
The committee had not planned to in
clude Albany in the list of places vis
ited, but the Albany Business League
extended an Urgent Invitation to this
committee through Judge Griggs and
the entire Itinerary of the trip was
changed so thit the committee could
stop in Albany for a few hours on tho
morning of March 9.
This committee comes South on the
invitation of those cities above named
to investigate conditions and get in
touch with tile river and harbor situa
tions at the several places to be visit
ed. The committee will visit Colum
bus, Albany, Apalachicola and Bain-
bridge, with a view to ascertain
ing the requirements for a deep-water
harbor at Apalachicola and for deeper
and broader channels in the Chptta-
hoochee and Flint rivers. ,
These rivers flow through one, of
the richest and most rapidly develop,'
ing regions in the South, and govern
ment aid in giving ample appropria
tions for necessary improvements in
the harbor and in the river channels
would, it is believed by those who
have studied the matter, be the great
est thing that ever happened for the
advancement of this section.
At a meeting of the Albany Busi
ness League-held at the First National
Bank thiB morning arrangements for
the suitable Entertainment of the com
mittee were set oh foot. Committees
were appointed to look after the de
tails of the entertainment which, it. is
hoped, will make a favorable Impres
sion for Albany. The committee will
be met at the train on tho morning of
March 9 and driven to the New Albany
hotel, where a breakfast will be
sevred. A boat ride down the river
and a short drive through the prin
cipal thoroughfares of tho city will
follow the breakfast. Neat folders
-will be prepared, containing maps
showing, the important territory tribu
tary to the Flint river and the advan
tageous situation of Albany as a rail
road center and river shipping point
for a large area.
The peoplo of Albany I dll' bo de
lighted to ontoitain this committee and
they l'eel greatly slated iver the suc
cess with which Judge Griggs pressed
the Invitation of the Albany Business
League. It was entirely through his
efforts that the visit was secured.
