AMERICUS, GEORGIA, SATURDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 22, 1906. NEGRO IS LYNCHED BY MOB AT ANNAPOLIS Masked Men Take Fiend From , Annapolis Jail. PERFORATED BODY WITH BALLS Had Committed Felonious Assault on White Woman and Confessed His Crime, Stating that He Would Have Done It Dead or Alive. Ammapolis, Md., Dec. 21. —Henry Davis, alias Henry Chambers, a ne gro, who committed a felonious as sault on Mrs. John Reid, of Browns ville, 5 miles from Annapolis, last Friday, and who had confessed Ms crime, was taken from the jail Fri day morning and lynched by a mob of about 60 masked men. He was strung up and his body riddled with bullets. The jail is situated in Calvert street in the western section of the city and is quite isolated. The mob had no difficulty in securing the prisoner. Faking him from his cell, they car ried him along the road leading to the scene of his crime. The plans of the lynchers were kept quiet as no one except those who participated in it knew anything about what was to take place. Their movements were carefully guarded. In a statement made after the man was taken from the jail, Deputy Sheriff Smallwood, said that about 2 o’clock a man appeared outside the jail and rang. He said he had a prisoner. Deptaty Reuben I. Small wood saw that he had no prisoner and refused to admit him, whereupon he left. Soon afterward a mob of about. 60 men appeared before the jail with a whipping post and endeavored to batter down the door. Unsuc cessful with that means, they pro cured a sledge and pick, and manag ed to break a hole through the door in which one of them crawled and un locked the door. Then five or six men entered the building and pro ceeded to the warden’s room, where they encountered Warden Taylor, Deputies Smallwood ana James C. Crouse, and Night Watchman Mar cellus. At the point of a pistol the warden surrendered the keys. In a few moments more Davis was se cured and carried out bodily. He made no resistance. His appear ance outside the jail was greeted with yells. He was kicked and beaten by members of the lynching party and in a few mimuF s was taken to Brickyard Hill on the Annapolis, Baltimore and Washington railroad line. Here Davis was closely questioned and again admitted that he had as saulted his victim, and repeated that he would have done it living or dead. As he made this assertion, those who heard him raised a cry, a rone was quickly knotted and the noose slipped over his head. By this time Davis was nearly un conscious from frigii.it and the blows which had been rained upon him. While in tMs condition Davis was hctisted up to the limb o<f a tree. Almost before his feet had left the ground, a revolver cracked and a bul let cut a gash through Ms scalp. lit was the signal for general firing, and at hast 100 bullets must have riddled his body. After a few minutes the body was cut clown, and pieces of the rope and clothing were taken by many as sou venirs. The mob then dispersed. The personnel of the mob is not known, blit reliable witnesses t® the occurrence atate that all of those who composed it were young in ap pearance. They all wore masks, had their faces blackened and each one was armed with a revolver. The negro was carried through the negro section of the city, hut no one interfered. When people appeared at the doors or windows they were warned to remain where they were if they did not want harm to come to them. The police permitted the mob to have its way, none of the officers apparently i rut erfer in g. Rules Give Small Relief. New Orleans, Dec. 21.—Dispatch- I es from Baton Rouge say that re plying to questions about freight car shortage in this state, the Louisiana railroad commission has informed the interstate commerce commission thiat the rules the state commission has been able to formulate have given only small relief to shippers. The statement says: “A remarkable fact connected wtiith the investigations was i that immediately preceding the hear ings the largest shippers—those who had made most frequent complaint— withdrew their demand for a car ser vice rule under which they might demand and receive cans, and actu i ally appealed to the commission to , pass no such rule, urging that they ! felt sure that they would receive bet-, i ter treatment from the railroads if n-a auch rule -were adopted." ROOSEVELT RAPPED BY SAN FRANGISCOANS The’ 17 Also Roughly Handle Sec retary Metcalf. SAY METCALF SOUGHT FAVOR I Board of Education Says Both Roose velt and Metcalf Have Misstated the Facts —It Is Declared that City Will Never Recede. San Francisco, Cal,, Dec. 21 —Mrs. Flora B. Harris, now residing at Tokio, and widely known as a mis sionary, recently addressee a commu nication ho the San Francisco board of education, in which she deplored San Francisco’s attitude towards the Japanese in public schools, and crit icized w.hat she termed the “provin cial spirit” of the local officials. She deprecated the attempt .to classify the Japanese as “orientals,’’ and ex pressed surprise that the children of any foreign resident should be “ex cluded from the public schools.” The board of education has framed a reply, which will he mailed to Mrs. Harris. This reply asserts that the Japanese have not been “excluded” from the public schools, “despite the fact that no less a personage than the president of the United States has instigated a similar assertion in framing a message to congress, and notwithstanding the wholly unfair report made of the school incident by tbe secretary of commerce and labor, Victor H. Metcalf. Continuing, the reply says: “The fact that tihe president of the United States basing arguments upon erroneous assumptions, frames against a loyal people scathing crit icisms regarding a matter which is purely one of local concern, does not in the least deter the people of the Pacific coast, who, after all, are uoitbtless the best judges of their own immediate needs Sad welfare. ' Neither do the misleading deduc tions and recommendations of a pol itician high in authority, when voiced through a document which plainly sought the light of favor, and not from truth „ impress the people of this locality With any sense of doubt as to their rights as free born Ameri cans , or as to the justice of the stand they have taken. ‘ The hoard of education will not recede from its position, whether the president of the United States has been led into error, and now applies emphatic language to the people of this state, or whether ambitious sec retaries distort plain facts and shape documents that may perhaps he for midable in a political sense.” Killed by a Train. Jackson, Misis., Dec. 21. —A spe cial to the News from McComb City says that an early hour Friday morn ing George Moore, his wife and three children were caught between the track and the freight depot platform by a passdng switch engine and the woman instantly killed, while Mr. Moore and hi® .sons were very seri ously hurt.
