MOB RULE IN NEW ORLEANS Innocent Negroes Made Objects of Hoodlums' Vengeance. TROOPS ARE FINALLY CALLED Hartial Law Proclaimed as After math of the riurder of Police Officers—Riots General. A special from New Orleans says: Several suspects arrested iu the su burbs proved not to be Robert Charles and the police have been unable to find any trace of the murderer of Cap tain Day and Police Officer Lamb. A quiet tip was got out for a mass meeting at Lee circle Wednesday, and ■while there were no leaders or promi nent citizens in the crowd, it swelled to several thousand people who began a march to the scene of the crime, at tacking all the negroes who could be found. A number were shot at and several wounded. Chief Gaster and every available policeman, as well as a com pany of militia, hastened to the vicin ity and succeeded in preventing a general riot for the time being. Disorderly scenes following the rioting of Wednesday night prevail ed throughout the city Thursday and resulted in the swearing in by the mayor of 500 special policemen and tbe ordering out of 1,500 of the state militia upon the orders of Governor Heard, who responded promptly to the appeal of Mayor Capdevielle for assistance in suppressing the existing lawlessness and in preventing a recur rence of the violence. Throughout the day attacks were made by irresponsible mobs of whites upon the black element and the ne groes, before nightfall, had been chas ed from the streets. The effect of the disorders was to put a practical stop to business in the wholesale districts and on the levee front. As this meant a serious crip pling of the trade of tbe port, tbe busi ness elements rallied in force and hun dreds of the most prominent man of the city responded to the appeal of the mayor for assistance in preserving order. A summarization of the casualties growing out of the disturbances shows that one negro was beaten to death, six were so badly wounded that their lives are despaired of and about a score of people, white and black, male and female, have been more or less seriously wounded. The police have been practically helpless throughout tbe disturbance. The force consists of some three hun dred men, including clerks and ope rators, and this is manifestly a force inadequate to the preservation of the peace of a city of 310,000 people. But aside from this, there was fierce indignation among the members of the department over the killing of Captain Day and Patrolman Lamb by the ne gro Robert Charles. Further, there is a strong resentment on the part of tbe working people against steamship agents and contractors because of tbe employment of negro laborers to the elusion of whites on public works aui on the levee fronts. Mayor Capedevielle was at Ocean Springs Thursday night when the mobs swept over tbe city, but when he arrived at his office Friday he came hold with a full determination to take of the situation with a firm hand. He found awaiting him a delegation of the leading merchants of the city, who said the interests of the community and its commercial welfare demanded prompt and vigorous action. About the same time Lieutenant Governor Estophel, who had witness ed a scene of outrage upon negroes on Canal street, joined the conference at the hotel. He at once advised a con ference with Governor Heard at Baton Rouge. The governor acted promptly and Paid he would order out all available troops. Without delay he sent mes sages to Colonel Hodgson, command ing the First brigade in the absence of General Glynn, and had him to im mediately artillery, order out the Field Washington and the the Louisiana First regiment. The members of the three commands responded with great alacrity 1,500 and at twilight there were men congregated in the armories. At the same time the mayor, in a proclamation, appealed for 500 special police. Before 4 p. m. 400 of the rep resentative had citizens of the community been sworn in. The mayor made requisition on the leading tablishments hardware and ammunition es of the city and the spe cials were heavily armed and then sent to various sections of the city where it was considered most likely that trouble would happen.

A Wall Street man who has been making up a list of old unsettled es tates In New York City said that until he began the work he had no adequute appreciation of the great wealth of this city. “For instance,” he said, “I discovered an estate last week which amounts to a good deal more than a million and when the man who owned it died suddenly several years ago no one knew him outside of a little circle of family friends. He was born In New York City and lived here all his life with real estate valued at more than a million dollars in hie name and yet he never figured In any of the lists of wealthy men. Of course the Fayerweuther estate was a striking example of unexpected wealth, but there are many others which foot up in the millions and of which the public knows nothing. There is no way to get a directory of these valuable es tates. Many of the trust companies have lists of them, which they guard closely.

O-I-C When a preparation has an advertised rep utation that is world-wide, it means that preparation is meritorious. If you go into a store to buy an article that has achieved universal popularity like Casearets Candy Cathartic for example, you feel it has the endorsement of the world. The judgment of the people is infallible because it is im personal. The retailer who wants to sell you “something else” in place of the ar ticle you ask for has an ax to grind. Don't it sta d to reason? He's trying to sell something that Is not what he represents it to be. Why? Because he expects to de rive an extra profit out of your credulity. Are you easy? Don't you see through his little game? The man who will try and sell you a substitute for Casearets is a fraud. Beware of him ! He is trying to steal the honestly which earned business benefits of has a reputation paid for, another man and if his conscience will allow him to go so far, he will go farther. If he cheats his customer in one way, he will In an other and it is not safe to do business with' him. Beware of the Cascaret substitutor! Remember Casearets are never sold in bulk but in metal boxes with the long tailed “C” on every box and each tablet stamped C. C. C.
