The Atlanta Constitution. THE GREAT SOUTHERN WEEKLY. VOL. XXVI. NO. 26. Wilmington, Delaware, Mob For Assaulting and Afterward Killing Miss Helen Bishop Burned Black Brute at Stake Wilmington, Dels.. June 22.—A northern mob. led by a Virginian, burned a negro at the stake tonight within a few miles 'if Mason and Dixon's line. The victim was George F. White, a negro, just out of the work house, who was accused of havirg fclonio assaulted and stabbed to death Mis \’,]en S. Bishop, the 17- ycar-old d- -of the Rev. Dr. E. A. .lie «*ne was committed .ast *■' .day _..ernoon, and ever since then there have been mutterings of lynching the man. Virginian Led the Mob. Last night's lack of a leader was sup plied by a Virginian, whoso identity in the confusion and excitement could not be learned. The police of Wilmingon and the constables tried to disperse the grow ing crowd, but without avail. It was evi dent that hundreds came from mere curiosity, but once in the mob they be came inflamed with the spirit pervading the throng and then actively joined it. The real leaders were few in numbers, but they did their work well, it was af ter 10 o'clock when the. march to the work house, a mile away, was taken up. The chief warden of the work house and his guards who have been on almost con stant duty since the negro was landed in the prison, had been warned of the com ing of the mob and prepared to detend the man at all costs. Armed with pistols, shotguns and other weapons, the mob soon reached the jail. 4 A battery of railroad ties soon carried twav the great outer d or of the work house. What was going on inside the lockup was not known to the mob, nor did it seem to care. The second, third and fourth doors were battered down the forward leaders in the attacking party amid the yells and cheers of those w were pressing forward’from the rear. Four Members of Mob Shot. Then the would-be lynchers wore mo mentarily halted by a hail of bullets from the inside A great howl went up from the leaders, but they were pressed for ward by those in the rear.

They were < ilckly arried to the rear and attended th se who were not brave enough to '. at the front. Three of the wounded were men and the other was a boy. None of them In the confusion could be identi fied except the boy. who is said to be Peter Smith, aged 17 years It was evident that the warden did not wish tn slaughter the mob in the prison corridor, so he directed that the fire hose be turned on the crowd. This also held NEW PROBLEI IS NOW READY Japanese Me Beginning To Take Hawaii, Porto Ricans Taken There Soon Filled the Hospitals—Many of Them in the Prisons—Few Negroes Are on the Islands. Washington, June 28.—(Special.)—In ad dition to tiie negro problem In the south and the Moro problem in th" Philippines the United States will soon have a Japa nese problem In the Hawaiian islands. According to a report on labor condi tions in the Hawaiian islands, just made by Commissioner of Labor Carroll D. Wright, the Japanese element In the is lands is inultipivlng so rapidly that in a few years, comparatively speaking, the Hawaiian born Japanese Ameri. an citi zens of th" Islands will outnumber the citizens of other races and will be able to control the politics of the territory. The present population of the islands is slightly’ over and a majority of the. Inhabitants are Asiatics. In 19'X> the c> n s is showed that 39.68 per cent of the inhabitants were Japanese. 24.45 per cent were Hawaiians and persons with an ad mixture of Hawaiian blood, 15.72 per cent were Caucasians and 11.73 per cent were Chinese. As tho death rate among the Hawaiians is in excess of the birth rate, the people of that rate are gradually dying out. The application of the Chi nese exclusion law to Hawaii is resulting In a decrease in the number of Chinese 1:> the island. The Caucasians and the Japanese are increasing, but the Increase of the Japanese population is g Ing on at a much more rapid rate than that of the Caucasians. The fundamental reason f r this Is that the sugar planters of the i-lands demand a largo supply of cheap labor. It is almost Impossible to get white American workmen to do the work on sugar plantations at any wages. The exp eriments of introducing negr > labor ers from the southern states of the I'nfted States an 1 workmen from the island of Porto Rico were practically failures In all about five thousand Porto Ri ca . r were carried to the Hawaiian is lands. The men were very poor speci mens physically. Many of them wore taken to the hospitals almost as soon as they arrived and the death rate among them was large. They did not know the mob for a tlnie. but not for long. A general rush was made, the guards were brushed aside, and a man hunt in the jail was made for the negro. There are many negroes confined In the prison, but with the aid of a man who knew White he was quickly found. The cell doors were quickly battered open and tho cowering accused man, beg ging for mercy, was dragged from tb« cell and the prison. When the crowd outside heard that success had crownc.l the efforts of the lynchers a great cheer was sot up. Attempts wore made to shoot White on the spot, but the leaders of tho crowd would have nothing but his life at the stake. Resistance on tho part of the negro was set up, but his hands were bound behind him. Thon the march to the place of execution, just as though it wore a march to the gallows in a prison, was taken up. Chained to Stake and Burned. It then became evident that a plan of execution had been previously arranged, but who the planners were is not known at this writing. With torch- s to lead the way, and with 4,000 persons following, the neg£p was led to the road and to almost the spot where the assault took place. White was given a brief chance to speak and he confessed to the murder of the girl. A stake had been arranged by an advance guard, JLTiite was quickly chained to the post and the drv under brush soaked wljh oil, was ignited, and Hie horrible execution was on. White, suffering intense agony. fainted and his body hung limp. Shots were tired Into his body and the victim of the mob was soon dead. Satisfied with its night's work, the great.T number of the lynchers imme diately left the neighborhood. White’s Drutal Crime. The crime for which White was lyn. li ed was one of the most revolting in the criminal annals of Delaware. The vic tim, Miss Helen S. Bishop, daughter of Rev. E. A. Bishop. I>. D.. superintendent of the Ferris Industrial school, would have been eighteen years old next Octo ber. She w;ts a stude.it of the Wilming ton high school, and was on her way home from the school last Monday- after noon when she was attacked. The industrial school, which is < miles from here, where her parents made their home, is about three-quarters of a. mile from Price's corner, w'here the girl usual ly got oft' the ' ■ -'0 ' whfen . . e ittiro -venom. Lat<- Mrin-l-ty'-sfi'riiKih a farmer working In the field saw a young woman stagger and fall in the road. She got up and fell again and then she tried to crawl. The farmer and his sons went to her assistance, but when they reached the girl she was lying unconscious in the road. They found her to be Miss Bishop. She hid three ugly gashes in her throat, her bou.y was badly scratched and her clothing was torn in many places. In one hand she clutched a. small pen knife, which she used at school in sharpening pencils. There was every evidence that Miss Bishop had made a desperate resistance in defense of her how to take care of themselves and had to be taught how to live in their new surroundings. They were morally upset by their long travels ami changed envi ronment and found it difficult to acquire the new habits of life neves.- try to their new conditions. So a considerable num ber became strollers and vagabonds, ami whenever possible. Hocked into the towns. There was much complaint about them by the people in Hawaii, as they were not personally friendly ami were also unpopular on account of the number of criminals who accompanied them. Be fore their arrival doors and windows of private residences in the islands were seldom locked and property could be left about uncared for with perfect se curity. Despite their small number rela tive to the entire population they have contributed a large proportion to the in mates of the prison in the islands. Comparatively few southern negroes have been taken to the islands. It was found that the men would not stay on the plantations, but drifted into tho towns, where they found employment. There were also strong social reasons for not taking negroes to the islands. The color line between the Hawaiians and th" Caucasians has been very loosely drawn The schools, churches and society of Hawaii are open to both alike ami many of the leading American and European residents have Intermarried with the na tives, who are not racially allied with the negro, though approaching him in color. Thus for political and social rea sons Hawaii public sentiment considers it undesirable that an element be added to the population that would be certain in time to disturb the existing happy con ditions and to create or emphasize preju dices which are thought to be unneces sary at this time. Influx of Japanese. So It has come about that the Hawaiian planters have been compelled to look prin cipally tn Japan for their labor supply, and the Japanese are going into the islands in constantly’ increasing numbers. The Japanese had at first the same ten dency that the Chinese have shown to remain for a few years and then return to Japan with the money that they have saved. Os late years, however, they’ ex hibit more and more a tendency to be come permanent settlers in tho islands. They are also bringing over a larger pro portion of Japanese women and their children are attending the Hawaiian schools along with white and Hawaiian children and are thus being brought up amid surroundings and with ideas that would make them practically aliens if they should return to Japan. The Japanese make fairly’ good planta tion laborers, though some of the plan ts rs would prefer Chinese. The China man is usually tho more steady and re liable, but the less energetic laborer of the two, and is preferred for irrigation and cane cutting. The Japanese has greater physical strength, ami is the bet ter man for loading or for general roust about work in the mill. He is more cleanly about his person and tidy’ about bis surroundings and adopts more readily al! the superficial tokens of Caucasian civilization. Ho wears European clothing, carries a watch and seeks most eagerly for variety In life. He is constantly visit ing new places and trying his hand at ATLANTA, GA., MONDAY, JUNE 29, 1903.

Ellwood, pastor of the Olivet Presby terian church, preached a sensational ser mon on the probable lynching of White last Sunday night. Ho took his text from Corinthians v. 13: "Therefore put away from among ourselves that wicked per son." In regard to the speedy trial for the negro, Rev. Ellwood said: "I call your especial attention to that part of mv text found in the constitution which sav’s: 'ln all criminal prosecutions The accused shall "njoy the right to a speedy and public trial.’ "On the day of this terrible, crime the officers arrested a man supposed to be guilty He was taken before a magistrate and 'held without bail. Tonight he is in jail with armed men parading about for his protection, waiting until the middle of September. Is that speedy? Is that even constitutional? "Oh. honorable judges, call the court, establish a precedent and the girls of this state, the wives of the homes and the mothers of our fireside and our beloved sisters will not be sorry, and neither will you. "And, honorable judges," he continued, "if you do not hear and heed these ap peals and that prisoner should lie taken out and lynched, then let me say to you with the full realization of the responsibil ity of my words, oven as Nathan said to King David, of old. after his soldiers had killed Uriah. ‘Thou art the man.’ so I would-say to you. The responsibility for | tiie lynching will be yours for delaying I the execution of the law. ! ‘‘Should the murderer of Miss Bishop | bo itnched? Yes. Rut only under one con- I dilion and that is this: If his trial shall jbe delayed until September and then, i though lie be proven guilty, through some I teilmi ality of tho law or any undue in : fluence upon either judges or jury he ne i not given capital punishment, then the citizens of the stae should arise in their might and ext cute the criminal and thus upheld the majesty of the law.” Rev IL A. Ellwood today dictated he i following staement: : "I am very sorry It happened as ft did. 1 believe tho man should have had a i leg.-.l trial, but 1 also believe that, lie | should have had a speedy trial. The les- I son wc can learn from last night's out nieak is that th* people are tired of the m 1.-iyr of tho law. Certain terrible crimes : require stern and speedy punishment and ’ whet the machinery of the law is not set I In motion the people, impatient of the de ■ lay, move themselves. 1 personally de | plore the lynching." Corwell Charged With Leading Lynchers. Wilmington. Del., June 24.—Arthur Cor well, of Hartford City, Ind., who was ar- I rested last night on a charge of com | plicity in the burning to death of George | White, a mgro charged with assault on new trades. He represents the radical, the Chinaman the conservative, side of Oriental character. His vices are more occidental than those of the Chinese. He does not fall a victim to opium or the unnatural practices of the latter, but Is fond of intoxicants. Tho Japanese makes more demands upon a plantation manager in the way of quarters and general con v< nienc. s for living than docs the China man Many of them have families and acquire individual apartments. They pre fer to board in small companies, upon a cottage system, while the Chinese like to in rd together in largo barracks. The one thing that the Japanese'insist upon above everything else is plenty of water for tie it daiiy ti lths and there have been many clashes between them and the I’lirto Ri ans employed on the same plan ' tat.ons largely because the Japs object to Hie disregard for cleanliness shown by ’ th- Porto Ri. ins and because the Japa , i.< ■ <‘j on the other hand, have a naive dls l regard for proprieties of costume and oc casionally walk about their camps in an al.seneo of attire that was characteristic of Adam and Eve In the Garden of Eden. In concluding his report, Mr. Wright > says: "At present a lalssez faire policy is being pursued, which—so far ns pres ent tendencies Indicate- will result in a : few years in making the islands prac ; tically Japanese. These people are set- I tling In the country with their families Ito a greater extent than formerly, and, ' though hitherto transient, show a ten -1 deney to become a permanent, population. 1 in some respects they might make de sirable citizens, as they readily ndopt occidental habits, but they do not amal gamate wit a Caucasians and are intense ly alien in their sympathies, religion and customs. There is’no doubt of the rapid increase rs tho Japanese population through births. It is yet too early to do termine what the attitude ot these Ha waiian-born Japanese will be toward their I .lahplace in ease many of them remain permanently in the islands, but this is a subject that promises complications m tic future in tho matter of citizenship unless some system of registry is adopt ed sufficiently exact to distinguish them from immigrant Japanese. A still more embarrassing situation would be created i should this Oriental population ultimate ' ly get control of the local government, t>y i means of institutions established by Americans and employ their racial solidarity to maintain themselves in power in tiie territory."

Montgomery, Ala., June 28.—(Special.)— Next week, starting with Tuesday, the United States court here, with Judge Jones presiding, will take up the peonage eases against the white citizens of Talla po '.=a and Coosa counties.

Def., June 25.—A riot broke out in the streets late tonight be tween whites and nrjfiocs, and for a time assumed serious fa portions. The ar rival of a squad of police, however, quickly dispersed tho participants. Two arrests were made. A large gang of ne groes which had been marching up and down Ninth street wore challenged by about twenty-five white men, and in th" battle that followed a hundred shots were exchanged.

Roosevelt Is Anxious To Have Ohio Senator at the Head of the Re publican National Commit tee —Beveridge Liked by the President. Washington. Juno 28.—(Special.)-Few "hot sir" stories circulated in IVashlngton this summer have caused the amusement that democrats and republicans alike have secured out ot the suggestions that Senator Izidge. of Massachusetts, is to succeed Senator Hanna as chairman of the national republican committee. ’I he sole ground for mentioning the Massachu setts senator's name in this connection seems to bo the fact of his personal triendship witli the president and yet astute polltttfons point to this fact as one of the most potent objections to his se lection as head ot the national commit tee. Ever since President Roosevelt entered the white house Senator Lodge has been generally spoken of as the "administra tion mouthpiece" in the senate. \V hen impoi tant questions have arisen and It lias been Impossible to get the presidents views on them direct it has been a favorite custom to go to Lodge as tiie man in Washington nearest tiie president and therefore the one best able to speak for him. Under such circumtsances tiie Massachusetts senator seldom fails to speak. What he says Is circulated through the country as the president's opinion and is so accepted until contra dicted some day.a or perhaps some weeks later by the president's action. It is true that tiie president and Senator Lodge are very intimate friends. Few Important matters come tip while Sena tor Lodge Is in Washington that are not discussed by himself and the president, but tiie questions upon which President Roosevelt follows he advice of his Mas sachusetts friend are after all compara tively few. On matters of politics the pnsident is always interested to hear Ledge’s opinion, but more frequently than an assent to what Senator Lodge lias to say comes the remark: "Why Ca tct. what are you talking about," and the president goes ahead and acts on his own judgment. It can be said on good authority that President Roosevelt has no Idea at pres ent of asking Senator Lodge to accept •••’•-•'•'O ’ ? ,11" ■ i i . • i i i i ;Ok '' •> z f ? i I * v M i Xlsfe- i : y - , z I • • ■ • ‘ THE NEGRO'S PROBLEM IN THE NORTH! i . ‘ White) would not have happened in Pennsylvania.

Illinois Seeking Black Outlaw. Peoria, Ills., June 23.—Detective William E. Murphy was killed by "Hilly" Mc- Ray. a negro desperado, whom he was at tempting to arrest at the corner of Wat and Eaton streets about 10 o'clock to night. Murphy, armed with a warrant for Mcßay, on the charge of burglary, ap proached the negro, who was standing <>n the corner, and. Informed him that he was under arrest. Without a moment's warning Mcßay drew a revolver and shot the chairmanship of the national republi can committee In the event that. Senator Hanna declines to serve longer. More over, the president has declared that ho earnestly hopes Senator Hanna may see l.is way clear to take off his coat and steer the party through the next presi dential campaign. Probably the scars left by tiie action of Senator Hanna In opposing the president's Indorsement for another term by the Ohio convention some weeks ago have not entirely disappeared. But tho president Is too keen a politician not to see the advantage of keeping on good terms with the Hanna faction and at his Instance the senator is coming to Washington in a few’ days for a confer ence on the party outlook, at which Secretary Shaw and Postmaster Payne will also be present. The president is anxious that Senator Hanna, shall have a voice in the selection of a vice presidential candidate and he will probably ask him ns to th" expediency of Myron T. Herrick or possibly Governor Taft being selected tor second place on the ticket. Thus far Herrick has indicated that he does not de sire the place, but, of course, Senator Hanna's word on such a matter would be law to him. Governor Taft's mention for the place Is not altogether welcomed by his friends. Will Urge Hanna To Remain. At this conference the president will urge Senator Hanna to retain the chair manship of the national committee and ft is expected the senator will then be pre pared to give a definite answer. Post master General Payne's bungling of the postoffice investigation will, it Is thought, preclude his consideration for the Job In case Senator Hanna retires and there Is much speculation as to whom the pres ident could look to in such a contingency. Any number of reasons are at hand against the selection of Senator Lodge. Although a life-long politician, the sena tor poses as a statesman and his disposi tion to look down on the common polit ical herd has not made him popular in the party. Moveover, he comes from a. state where the republican gains have been most pronounced. Factions In Mas sachusetts have been too little developed to enable him to develop his skill along the line of general campaigning. They do not have in the - y State political battles royal such as Senator Hanna, has experienced In Ohio. Unpopular with his party and too intimate with the president, republican leaders declare Senator Lodge is not the right kind of timber out of which presidential campaign managers are made and they are losing no oppor tunity to impress their views upon the president. If Senator Hanna feels that ho Is get ting t<K> out to renew the great fight he made in I’lT> and decides to retire from the chairmanship, those close to the pres ident say he is inclined to look for a younger man for the place. Until Senator Hanna's Intentions, however, are known, suggestions as to who that younger man will be are not indulged in. When it comes to young mon in the party there are none perhaps in whom the president personally has more interest than Senator Beveridge, of Indiana. Active, brainy and a hustler. Beveridge appeals to the pres ident, who in discussing him the other day made the remark, "Beveridge means to get to the top." But whether the the officer in the breast He then attempt ed to make his escape, but was caught by Detective Chadwick.

DEAS POTS CAFF INFO RDDSEVELT Souili Carolina Nsiro Republican Denounces ihe President. He Says the Administration of Fed eral Affairs in South Carolina Is Corrupt—Capers and Jen kins Also Bitterly At tacked by Negro. Charleston. S. C . June 28.—(Special.)— E. H. Deas, the leadihg negro republican of South Carolina, has prepared for pub lication a vicious attack upon President Roosevelt's administration of par:; af fairs in this state. Just after the Ohio convention w s held, Deas, by request, arraigned tins national republican administration in Tho i New York YY'orld. He said, an." - ot -r things, that it was the dirtiest and re tenest administration that has ever dis graced this section, and the statement that he lias just given out for publication is put forth with a view of substantia': X this charge. In it Deas attacks with great bitterness United States District Attorney John C Capers and Collector of Internal Revenoo Micah Jenkins. Both of these men were formerly demo erats and were appointed to office as m publicans. Cau-irs bolted Bryan and stumped for McKinley, while Jenkins ■’ s a major under Roosevelt in the Rough Riders. Capers is a son of Bishop Ellison Capers, of South Carolina, and Jenkins is a son of the confederate general of the same name. Deas charges that Capers was present at the lynching of Tlio-nn son and Preston, at Gaston. July 3". 1893, and that lie was indicted for pension fraud in the same w ar. but that, the mat ter was dropped for some reason nex'. r explained; that he wag n. t a resident of the slate when appointed United States district attorney oj;'. South Carolina; that he swore he voted for McKinley and ye‘ the records of the town of Maryland, in which he resided, fail to show an> such record. Os Jenkins. Deas says he is such a personal favorite of President Roosevelt that it is impossible to get an Investiga tion of charges against him and his de partment. When such charges have b.’en preferred. Deas says, they are referred to Jenkins himself, he reports f ivorablv to himself and th.e matter is dropped. The statement made by Deas is a long one and is replete with the most vio lent language, denunciatory of Roosevelt. Capers, Jenkins, and the republican ad ministration of pffnirs in South Carolina. Deas was formerly national republican committeeman from the state, and is now chairman of the “black-and-tan” organi zation. He was n candidate for collector of internal revenue, and Is popularly styled by his adherents as "Deas, the Duke of Darlington.”
