IS AS TO THE CONDITION OP THE

Anarchists Mayor Says They
Should All Be Deported—Alderman
Dixon Says They Should Be Set

or Water.
The one question upon the lips of
gavannahlans yesterday was as to the
condition of the President. Men, ab
sorbed In the cares of business, yet
found time to ask how the President
fared. In public buildings, in business
houses, and on the streets might be
seen groups of three, four or a greater
number, and one approaching and
Joining them would see at once that
the talk was of the President. Snatch
ing a minute from the rush and bustle
of his work, a man would stop his
neighbor, fresh from the bulletin board
of the Morning News, on the street,
and eagerly inquire as to the state of
the chief executive. All were anxious
to know how he rested.
Upon the lips of women and children
the question trembled, dreading to
hear their worst fears realized—to
learn that the honored and revered had
crossed over the river, the victim of
the anarchical Pole's bullet, yet anx
ious women and horror-stricken chil
dren asked the question, and over Alik
etole a sense of gladness that the re
ports were encouraging—that it was
given out in Buffalo that there was
hope of recovery.
Throughout the day sounded the
question. From their work men hur
ried at the dinner hour to their homes,
and there the first word that met them
was of the President. Anxious wives,
mothers and sisters sought to learn how
it fared with Mr. McKinley, whom all
remembered through the occasion of
his visit to Savannah In 1898, when he
came to review the 25,000 troops that
were then encamped in and about the
city.
It was not mere curiosity—a thirst for
news, for the sensational. Savannah
ians wanted to hear that the President
was recoveringr. His gracious manner,
his pleasing smile, his words on the
occasion of his visit all bound Savan
nahians close to him, and marked has
been the expression of sympathy that
has fallen from the people of the city.
"Was there any breach between Savan
nah and the North remaining before
the Spanish war, President McKinley
did much to heal it.
No formal message of condolence to
Mrs. McKinley or officers of the Pres
ident’s cabinet or household was sent
to express the sympathy of Savannah.
"When asked if a message had been cr
would be sent, Mayor Myers
said yesterday that he had
considered the matter, but had con
cluded that there would be such a
flood of such telegrams that It was
arce worth while for him to send one.
Should the President, in the providence
of God, die, such a message would be
sent, while the city mourned. Then
would the City Council, in ail proba
bility, be called in special meeting to
adopt some suitable resolution, ex
pressive of the heartfelt sympathy of
the community.
Wherever he went during the day,
the Mayor said, he had heard expres
sions of sympathy for the President.
With the sympathy came compliments,
the Mayor saying that he had heard it
commonly stated as the belief of the
speakers that the country was threat
ened with the loss of the greatest Pres
ident, the noblest and the best, that it
has ever had.
While he sat in his office at the City
Exchange yesterday, the Mayor re
ceived a visit from the Spanish vice
consul, who expressed to the people of
Savannah, through their chief execu
tive, the sorrow of his country In the
calamity that has befallen the nation.
This for the President who directed
the affairs of state and the machinery
of war, while the United States and
Spain were wrapped in the throes of
a mighty struggle.
In view of the report of the praise
meeting that was held at Paterson, N.
J.. the Mayor was asked for his views
upon such conduct as the anarchists
of that hot-bed of anarchy indulged in,
upon the receipt of the news of the
terrible deed of one of their misguided
adherents. He answered:
No such meetings of anarchists as
are reported from Paterson would be
permitted in Savannah. We would al
low no such seditious gatherings,
where ruin and murder are plotted. I
am only surprised that the administra
tion of any city in the Union should
allow such atrocious assemblies—as
semblies where assassins are toasted
and their terrible crimes lauded to the
skies.
The time has come, as is made clear
oy the dastardly attempt upon the life
of the President, when this country
should take some action against the
anarchists. Not only should this coun
try move, but the authorities of other
civilized lands should rise to the occa
sion and take concerted action, ban
ishing all the blood-thirsty anarchists
and the entire crew of their sympa
thizers to some island in the broad
ocean, like St. Helena, for Instance,
where they might govern themselves
as they might list and be no longer
a menace to the lives of those whom
the peoples of the earth elect to set
above them.
"No more people of this character
should be admitted to America. Those
that are here should be deported, and
a stringent law of immigration should
be enacted for the exclusion of any
man with anarchlWe leanings. It
could and should be done. The terrible
spectacle of an excellent President—,
one of the best the country has ever
had—lying at the point of death
through the work of the anarchlal as
sassin, should arouse the American
people to keep out the worthless vaga
bonds.
"Terrible must be the sense of guilt
that rests upon the woman. Emma
Goldman, whom Czolgosz accredits
with the awful responsibility of his
■ ilrne. Inflamed by the seditious ut
terances and by the writings of the
woman, he says that he was Impelled
to the execrable deed that will send
his name down through history as such
n assassin as Booth or Guiteau.
speeches and such writings as
those of which that woman has been
guilty should be suppressed. Now that
it is too late, one may see the extent
to which they may lead.”
Chairman of Council J. M- Dixon was
irked for his views upon the killing.
His answer was directed against the
"narchlsts, whom he stigmatized as a
great band of cowardly murderers.
‘ They should afl be gathered togeter,"
said the alderman, “driven aboard
scows and towed to mld-Ocean, there
to be set adrift without food or water.
This should be far from the track of
vessels, where no aid could reach the
wretches who foster such scoundrels
as that Czolgosz and applaud such
crimes at his."
Capt. Cassius E. Gillette, U. S. A., ex
pressed the deepest sorrow for the mis
fortune that has befallen the Presi
dent. He said he considered that the
Pole was probably crazy, but did not
believe that, even should it be so prov
en, that fact should militate In his fa
vor and secure him immunity from the
law.
Hon. Pope Barrow said that the news
of the attempted assassination was in
deed sad, but that he did not consider
that it would cause any great financial
crisis. In the event of the President’s
death even, Mr. Barrow said, he did
not consider that there would be any
international complications. He is a
great admirer of Vice President Roose
velt, who, should God will it that the
President should die, he believes would
make a competent successor. Strong
and forceful, Col. Roosevelt, Mr. Bar
row thinks, is of Just the metal to make
a President of whom the people might
be proud. His alleged militarism, he
said, would not be paraded obnoxiously
before the country.
The extra of the Morning News yes
terday morning gave accurate bulle
tins of the President’s condition, and
was read by a great many. Business
men read it carefully, for it reassured
them as to the markets of the coun
try. They learned that there was to
be no financial upheaval, and uneasi
ness was allayed.
TOOK LAUDANUM TO DIE.
Annie Gomes Mixed It With Mor
pltine Bnt Is Still Living.
Annie Gomez, an 18-year-old Spanish
girl, attempted suicide last night in a
house on Gwinnett street, east, of the
Plant System tracks. She swallowed
about a half an ounce of laudanum,
mixed with morphine. She was discov
ered by other of the house
shortly after the poison was taken, and
the police ambulance was summoned.
The woman was in a critical condi
tion when taken to the Savannah Hos
pital where she was attended by Dr.
Thomas Clay. Several hours hard work
pulled her through, and she was out of
danger at an early hour this morning.
The Gomez girl had been an Inmate of
the Gwinnett street house for several
weeks. She showed signs of despond
ency yesterday, but just what caused
her to attempt her life is not known.
ODER THE DARKNESS OF NIGHT.
_____________ ‘t
Mrs. Chapeau's Story of the Insur
rection of Ste. Domlngne.
“Under the Darkness of the Night,”
by Mrs. Ellen Chazal Chapeau,
is a thrilling story of the in
surrection of 1791 in Sainte
Domlngue. Mrs. Chapeau has
proven herself not only an interesting
writer of history, but a charming por
trayer of the social life that existed
among the French people of Sainte Do
mingue toward the close of the eigh
teenth century. Her book is historical,
in that it deals with the conditions that
under the influence of French revolu
tion resulted in one of the most vin
dictive struggles in history, the over
throw of the once dominant Europeans
in Sainte Domlngue and the independ
ence of the colored insurgents.
The scenes which Mrs. Chapeau so
graphically describes are laid in the
northwestern part of the West Indian
island settled by the French and
called Sainte Domlngue, abbreviated
to Ste. Domlngue. The author, in in
troducing the events that marked the
period of the bloody insurrection, calls
attention to the division between the
French colonial possessions and Santo
Domingo, the Spanish portion of the
island. Both geographically and his
torically they were known by the
French and Spanish names. Sainte
Domlngue is to-day the Black Repub
lic of Haiti.
The negro uprising which swept
over the western end of the isl
and was the outcome of the mutual
antipathies of the three classes of peo
ple, which made up the inhabitants of
Sainte Domlngue. The Intermediate
caste which was generally exempt from
bondage and was uniformly excluded
from citizenship, in time reached such
numbers and influence that it became
dominant and in coalition with
the blacks sounded the tocsin
of revolt, swept over the prov
ince with torch and knife, cry
ing ‘Down with the Masters’ and"
leaving destruction and death in its
path.
In the life of the gentle people whose
plantation homes—the homes of cul
ture and refinement, were left heaps of
smoking ruins by the ruthless hand
of the black revolutionist, Mrs.
Chapeau has found material for
a charming romance. Out of the
insurgent conspiracy she has
evolved a story of intense interest,
its dark deeds offset by the tender
love story of Louis La Haye and
Louise Lenaire. The closing chapters
are filled with pictures of
the cruel scenes that preceded the
leadership of Toussaint L'Ouverture.
Mrs. Chapeau’s familiarity with the
social and political history of Ste. Do
mingue, has enabled her to write In
telligently of the events which cen
tered in the little French province,
and made it the scene of one the worst
insurrections in history.
All books have their weak points and
Mrs. Chapeau’s may not be wholly free
from them, but she has written a story
that will live. The book is published
by The Neale Publishing Company,
Washington, D. C.
A REMARK.!HUE SCORE.
Private Wheaton, of the Chatham*,
Makes 181.
Private John F. Wheaton of the
Chatham Artillery, made a most re
markable score at the Avondale Rifle
Range yesterday afternoon with a
Springfield rifle. Even allowing Capt.
J. C. Postell his handicap of 10 points,
which fell to him because he shot with
a carbine, Private Wheaton’s score
equals his.
Private Wheaton made 161 out of a
possible 175. Capt. Postell made 151
some weeks ago with his carbine,
which, allowing the handicap for the
short weapon, runs his score to 161,
which, however is tied by Private
Wheaton. Capt. C. H. Konneman
had already forced Capt. Postell to
take advantage of his handicap, for
Capt. Konneman, with his Springfield,
had made 151. Private R. C. Fetzaer
is next with the rifle at 150, while
Sergt. G. Bourquin of the Oglethorpe
Light Infantry has 149. All of these
are expert sharpshooters.
A clean score was made by Private
Wheaton at 200, giving him 25. At
the 300 yards range he made 24. At
the 500 yards range his score was 44,
ten shots, while at the 600 It was 20.
He then went to the skirmish, run
ning It in fine style, and scoring every
shot. He made eight hits In the prone
and two In the kneeling figure, getting
a total of 48 out of a possible 50. The
achievement Is a remarkable one, and
Private Wheaton deserves the con
gratulations of hla friends.
THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY. SEPTEMBER 8.1901.
VIGOROUS PROTEST
AGAINST INSPECTION OF THE
VOTERS’ BOOK.
MADE BY MR. HARTRIDGE.
OBDtNARY CANN HAS ORDERED AN
INVESTIGATION.
The Book Is In His Office and Con
tains the Name, Age, Address nnd
Occupation of Every Voter—Candi
date for Ordinary Objects to Out
side Parties Making Copies of the
Book—Great Wrong Might Be Per
petrated Against the Ballot Lavra.
Other Candidates Notified of Mr.
Hartrtdge’s Letter nnd Invited to
Attend Investigation—lnformation
Contained in Book Conld lie Used
for Ringers—How Tkey Work at
the Polls.
A sensation was sprung in the cam
paign for ordinary yesterday when
Candidate Walter C. Hartridge address
ed a letter to Judge Cann of the Court
of Ordinary, protesting against al
leged political chicanery. No charges
of any sort were made against indi
viduals, but it was plain to those who
have dabbled In the game of politics
what Mr. Hartridge meant.
His letter protested against the prac
tice of parties not connected with the
ordinary's office making copies of the
voter’s book for 1900. The protest was
put on the ground that great wrong
might be perpetrated against the bal
lot laws of the state. The book not
only contains the names of voters and
their ages, but their address and occu
pation. The information contained In
it is Invaluable in cases where It is in
tended to make use of ringers.
As soon as Judge Cann received Mr.
Hartridge’s letter he notified the other
candidates of the protest that had been
made. Mr. Hartridge asked for an Im
mediate ruling on the subject, and the
Ordinary set to-morrow morning as
the time when he will decide the ques
tion that has been raised by the can
didate who is working for a better con
dition of affairs in local politics. All of
the candidates were notified of the
time set for the hearing, and were in
vited to be present.
The investigation promises to be an
interesting one. The Ordinary stated
that he will have a full and complete
hearing on the subject, and will at that
time render his decision on the ques
tion that has been raised. Until the
hearing the voter’s book will be open
to the reasonable inspection of any
citizen of the county.
The manner in which ringers are
voted at an election is well known to
political workers. The name, address,
age and occupation of individuals who
are not very well known are secured,
and the ringer is drilled. He is taught
his new name, and the other informa
tion that goes with it, until he is
really able to palm himself off as the
other man. The ringer presents him
self at the voting booth early in the
morning, before the probab’e arrival
of the real voter. If he is successful
enough to past muster, when the in
dividual who is really entitled to vote
arrives, his name has been scratched.
The citizen who has not voted, but
whose name has been checked off as
having been afforded that privilege, en
joyed by all male residents over 21
years of age, is not prevented from
voting. He is compelled to prove his
identity, and if successful his ballot is
counted. The vote of the ringer, how
ever, is counted at the same time.
There is no way of ascertaining how
the ringers have voted and none of the
ballots can be thrown out. This Is a
favorite operation at the polls. It is
said that a shrewd ringer has been
able to get in a vote at each box in
each district. This is not a difficult
matter if the names chosen are not too
hard to pronounce or spell.
DIED AT RIPE OLD AGE.
Mr. J. J. Kennedy, Father of Rev.
Father R. F. Kennedy/
Mr. John J. Kennedy died yester
day morning at 6 o’clock at his home,
No. 418 President street, west, after
a serious illness of a few days, though,
i because of his very old age, he has
been in failing health for several
months.
Mr. Kennedy was probably one of
the oldest citizens of Savannah. He
was born in Nenegh, County Tipper
ary. Ireland, June 18, 1812, consequent
ly he lacked but a few months of be

in 1837, and to Savannah in 1843, and
spent the remainder of his life here.
Shortly after his arrival he became
connected with the firm of Henry D.
Weed, hardware dealers, and remained
with them and their successors rtf ty
eight years. He retired from active
employment only last February, when
the Infirmities of old age made it im
possible longer to retain his position,
but the firm of J. D. Weed & Cos., in
appreciation of the long and faithful
services given both to it and its suc
cessors, pensioned Mr. Kennedy for life
at his full salary.
In his life, as in his business, Mr.
Kennedy was honest, upright and
faithful, fulfilling conscientiously and
devotedly the duties of Christian, hus
band and father. He has always been
a member of the parish of St. Patrick’s
Church, in the work of which he took
an active interest.
Mr. Kennedy's immediate surviving
relatives are his son Rev. Father Rob
ert F. Kennedy, pastor of the Cathe
dral of St. John the Baptist, and two
daughters, Sister Mary Magdalen of
the Sacred Heart Convent in Augusta,
and Mrs. John W. Gleason of this city.
Also there are four grandchildren, the
Misses May, Stella, and Geraldine Ken
nedy, who are in Savannah, and Mas
ter Daniel Kennedy who is at school
in Canada.
The funeral will take place to-mor
row morning at St. Patrick’s Church
at 9:30 o'clock. Requiem High Mass
for the repose of She soul will be cele
brated by Father Kennedy, assisted by
Father McCarthy and Father Luckie.

be made in the Cathedral Cemetery,
will be conducted by Rev. Father Mc-
Carthy.
The pall bearers will be: Messra.
John Lyons, James O’Byrne, John D.
Robinson, W. D. Ktenson, Luke Car
son, George W. Allen, Francis Hart,
and Lawrence Kelly.

CRUISE OF THE KNIGHT.
Telegram From One of Voyager*
Doea Not Mention Accident.
A telegram received yesterday from
Boston conveyed Information that the
schooner E. C. Knight, with Capt. M.
P. Uslna In command and her party
of Ravanhahlans—Dr. and Mrs. J. G.
Van Marter, Dr. J. N. Guerard, Messrs.

and ail qn board are reported well.
It Is not clear from the telegram
whether the vessel is In Boston har
bor or at Newport, R. I.
A letter from a member of the party,
written at Halifax, N. 8., 27th ult., on
the return voyage, informed the recipi
ent that they skirted along the west
ern coast of the Island of Newfound
land, and while lying at anchor in one
of the harbors witnessed several mag
nificent displays of the aurora bore

pensate them for the trip. When the
