EMBASSY IN WASHINGTON
v RETICENT ABOUT THE NEWS
Washington, April 20.—At the Turk
ish embassy this morning It was said
no news has been received from Con
stantinople bearing on the alarming
conditions there. It was observed that
such news ns has been received has
been "delayed." Further questioning as
to the possible results of the uprising
In Constantinople was met with the
guardedly diplomatic, noncommittal,
vague and somewhat sarcastic ob
servation that “It must bo admitted
that affairs In Constantinople are a
little unsettled Just at present."
It Is believed the members of the
embassy have determined not to dis
cuss the serious situation In Turkey
until time has been given to observe
In which direction the political cat will
probably Jump.

with a magazine shotgun and a 32-
caliber revolver. Everett Royster, a
negro, yesterday afternoon terrorized
the people on Broad and other streets
In the heart of the city, and was not
captured until he had knocked James
B. Lacey and his son, Charles, sense
less in their coal and wood yard, shot
three times at Dr. James P. McDon
ough, a veterinary surgeon, forced a
negro cabman at the point of a re
volver to drive him down Broad-st.,
and attempted to kill Policeman Car
ter who Anally arrested the negro.
Royster was either crazy or "doped"
and the police believe that It was co
caine which drove him into murderous
frenzy.
At Second and Bmad-sts., In the
heart of the shopping district, Royster’s
carriage ran Into an electric pole and
was smashed to pieces. The negro fell
to the pavement with a gun In each
hand. He held his ground and defied
Officer Carter to aprpoach. Fearing
that he would kill some bystander, the
officer did not shoot, but with great In
trepidity rushed up to the negro, threw
his gun down, clutched him in the
throat and knocked him Into the gut
ter. Carter was strtfck several times
on the head with the negro's pistol.
Policeman Perklnson. who came
Carter’s assistance, felled the negro
with his club, breaking It In two by
the blow.
Hundreds of people witnessed the
shooting and the mad raoe of the ne-
•o for freedom, but none dared lnter-
re.

Any history which proposes to deal
In Its entirety with the growth and de
velopment, the character and achieve
ments or a country of such mammoth
proportions and of such an absorbing
ly Interesting career aa that of the
United States must, at best, be brief
and must record those things alone
which. In point of Interest, loom up
pre-eminently In the life of the nation
ns a whole.
No general history which dea
the life of the American nation since
the young republic had Its birth can
give the time and space necessary to a
clear and full exposition of the ad
vanccment of any one section. To do
that requires greater research and
study than Is devoted to the complla*
tlon of the average "History of Our
Country."
For that reason It Is of more than
passing Interest that for the first time
the South, which has played such an
Important part In tha life of the coun
try, Is to be given an opportunity to
place Itself on reedrd before the world
and to state the motives, causes and In
fluences which have determined her
loyal action In the past to cherished
principles of right and Justlcs, and to
show her love for and her patriotic co
operation In the advancement of the
Union.
A Southern History.
This Is to be made possible thru "Tho
South In the Building of the Nation/'
a Southern history, the need of which
has long been felt and which la now
In process of preparation by the South
ern Publication Society, of Richmond.
The work Is designed to record the
South's part in the making of the
American nation: to portray the char
acter and genius, to chronicle the
achievements and to perpetuate the
memories and traditions of the South
ern people.
■'The South In the Building of the
Nation" win be In twelve volumes,
handsomely Illustrated, edited by some
of the most prominent professors of
history In the country, and will num,
ber among Its contributors the mos'
able writers.' Says the prospectus:
"The history Is to be written for the
general reader aa well as for the lit
erary student. Controversy and parti
sanship will he scrupulously avoided,
and It Is the hope of the editors and
publishers to furnish a comprehensive,
accurate, Impartial account of the past
and present history and conditions of
the South worthy a place In the library
of every American.
"The permanent value and Interest
of this work as a monument to South
ern genius and Southern effort will be
enhanced by Its illustrations. They
will be specially selected and will form
an Integral part of the unfolding of
this great book of Southern life. There
will be pictures of the beginning of
things; pictures of places showing the
South picturesque and the South beau
tiful; examples of Southern architec
ture; photographs of monuments, of
historic places and events, and of the
curious manners and customs, cos-
fumes, furniture, etc., of the* olden
times. The work will contain Illustra
tions of the present as well as Illus
trations of the past. Views of South
ern cities and their famous buildings,
and last but not least, portraits of the
famous men and women of the South,
and views of their haunts and homes."

Wanted the Witness
To Be His Lawyer;
It Didn’t Go Thru
Ed Evans, a negro thief, gave an
exhibition of shrewdness Monday aft
ernoon, Just after he had been bound
over by Recorder Broyles on tho
charges of robbery and assault with
Intent to murder.
Evans Is the negro who was seen by
Attorney Bam Crane to steal a pocket-
book from a negro woman In Hunter-
st. Saturday afternoon and who was
chased for several blocks by Attorney
Crane and Attorney W. C. Munday,
finally being captured by the two at
torneys and some other citizens. Dur
ing the chase, Evans attempted to cut
Attorney Crane, slashed the clothes of
T. J. Preston, who tried to stop him,
and struck another man In the face.
Attorney Crane was the principal
witness against the negro. Immediate
ly after the trial, the negro sent for
Mr. Crano and tried to employ him as
his attorney to represent him In the
state courts. 1 He had hit on this as a
clever scheme to do away with the
most damaging testimony against him.
Attorney Crane, however, has not taken
the case.
