are going to upset the calculations of
their adversaries in November.
Do you think you can carry Mon

'Roosevelt’s face broke into a smile
as he remarked that Montana has a
"pretty stiff standpat organization,
"but I think we'll turn the trick." he
added On the way here at one of the
stations along the Montana plains the
colonel adverted to recent criticism of
him by his opponents that he wants to
be king.
"I'm accused of ".anting to be a king
and rule the country with an iron
hand." said the colonel with a touch of
sarcasm. "I always feel inclined to an

The colonel discussed the anti-trust

"The two old parties are fooling

Straus Heads N. Y.
Bull Moose Ticket
SYRACUSE. N. Y.. Sept. 7.—The
Progressive state convention surprised
itself late yesterday afternoon when it
was stampeded from the regular pro
gram on the nomination for governor,
and bestowed that honor on Oscar S.
Straus, of New York, former secretary
of commerce and labor under President
Roosevelt. The name of Mr. Straus,
who was permanent chairman of the
convention, was proposed by ‘'.Suspen
der Jack” McGee.
The names of William A. Prender
gast and William H. Hotchkiss, rivals
for the honor, which had already been
presented, were withdrawn. Mr. Straus
at first refused to consider the honor,
but the clamor of the mob became so
insistent that he finally gave in.
The state ticket follows:
Governor—Oscar S. Straus New
York.
Lieutenant Governor —Former State
Senator Frederick M. Davenport Onei
da.
Associate Judge of Court of Appeals
-Carlos C. Alden. Buffalo, and George
W. Kirchway, Columbia university.
Secretary of State —Homer- S. Call,
Syracuse.
State Comptroller—Horatio C. King.
Brooklyn.
Attorney General —John Palmieri.
Brooklyn
State Treasurer—Ernest Cawcroft.
Jamestown.
The convention rode roughshod
throughout its yesterday's sessions over
the wishes of its national leader. Colo
m-1 Roosevelt. The ticket that it named
was not the ticket of the colonel. This
action violated absolutely the wishes of
Colonel Roosevelt, who sent word to
the convention by Chairman Hotchkiss
'hat it must name Dean Cook, head of
'he St. Lawrence university's agricul
tural department, as the running mate
of the gubernatorial nominee. The
olonel. too, favored Comptroller Pren
dergast for the head of the ticket. His
message, delivered th <.ugh Hotchkiss.
*> as completely ignored.

BATHER WHO GAVE
HIS DIAMOND RING TO

The Atlanta man who has spent bis

ing to a letter Captain B. H. Schlom
berg. of tiie United States volunteer

This is no press agent story, either,
for the captain has closed his season's

While the swimming races we e in

Schlomberg a diamond ring to hold.
The man did not claim his ring after
the races, and Captain Schlomberg left
Thursday morning for his home, tak
ing the ring with him. He has been
expecting that the owner would write
him.
Captain Scholmbe. g will be in Jones
boro for some weeks, as on the day of
his arrival he was injured in a fall and j
has had lo be under the care of a phy

CUMMING, GA.. Sept. 7.—City and county officials and minis
ters, backed up by the mbre conservative citizens, today prevented a
threatened lynching until troops, ordered here by Governor Joseph M.
Brown, arrived this afternoon from Gainesville. Twenty-three mem
bers of Troop F, Second squadron of Georgia cavalry—the Candler
Horse Guards—under command of Captain J. M. Fray, equipped for
riot duty, arrived in automobiles about 2 o’clock this afternoon, hav
ing left Gainesville at 1 :30 p. m. They covered the eighteen miles in
good time, tiie roads being in reasonably good condition. This after-*
noon Ihe soldiers are patroling the town and assisting the town and
county officers in guarding the .jail and court house, where seven
negroes are held.
The husband and father of the
young white woman, who was at
tacked by a negro while alone in
her home three miles from town
Thursday night, which led to the
arrest of the seven negroes and the
threats of lynching yesterday and
I today, held a long conference with
court officials in the court house
this afternoon. What happened
has not been made public.
Five hundred or more negroes from
Forsyth and adjoining counties gath
ered at a negro church in the negro
quarter of Cumming today for a. barbe
cue. but a hundred or more white men
went to the scene and ordered the ne
groes to disperse. They accepted the
warning and hurriedly' left town.
Every negro that has passed through
town today has been searched and all
weapons taken from them.
Preachers Appeal
Against Lynching.
After the appeal had been made to
Governor Brown by long distance tele
phone to rush troops to Cumming,
Sheriff W. W. Reid, Mayor C. L. Har
ris. Rev. Z Serr and Rev. T, P. Trib
ble addressed the hundreds of white
men gathered about the courthouse and
pleaded with them to let the law take
its course and leave the negro prison
ers in the custody of the county officers.
Their appeals were availing, as the mob
that had been forming all morning
waited the coming of the troops.
Once during the morning an effort
was made to storm the courthouse,
where Grant Smith, a negro preacher,
was held under guard in the law of
fice of Colonel Wisdom, recent nominee
for representative from this county. The
officers stoutly resisted and the attempt
was unsuccessful.
Sheriff Reid deputized 25 or more of
the cooler headed citizens as special of
ficers. and they stpod guard at the Jail
and court house throughout the day.
Sheriff Crowe, of Hall county, arrived
this morning from Gainesville and as
sisted Sheriff Reid In quelling the mob
spirit.
White Men Crowd
Town of Cumming.
During the day fully 500 white men
came to Cumming from the surround
ing country. The news of Thursday
night's assault had spread throughout
this and adjoining counties yesterday
and aroused a determined spirit of
speedy vengeance among the more hot
headed. Others came here Just to see
what would happen, while still others
came to allay' the mob sentiment, if
I possible,
| A report was circulated this morning
I that the negroes of the town threat
i ened to blow up Cumming with dyna
i mite if a lynching took place
The six negroes arrest'd yesterday
I are still in Jail. Thus far they have
i not been given preliminary hearings,
it being considered safer to hold them
tn jail than to take them to court.
Strong circumstantial evidence has
been secured against Tony Howell, one
of the negroes, and if a lynching takes
place he will probably be the victim.
Grant Smith, the negro preacher,
under guard in the court house, follow,
ing a severe whipping administered to
him by the mob in the streets this
i EXTRA'
2 CENTS EVERYWHERE p^ c
morning, made a remark that the
victim of the assault was a "sorry
white woman." Thia so enraged the
mob on the streets that he was sum
marily' dealt with. As two men held him
two others vigorously applied the lash,
while a hundred or more looked on ap
provingly. Officers took charge of
Smith after the whipping and carried
him to the office of Colonel L. E. Wis
dom in the court house, where a guard
was stationed to protect him from fur
ther violence. Colonel Wisdom is the
recent nominee for representative from
Forsyth county.
The woman who was attacked Thurs
day night is still in a critical condition,
COURT BACKS OP
MON BAD FOOD
Declaring that death lurks tn bad
meats and vegetables and that the
health and lives of Atlantans are seri
ously menaced by the sale of such
unwholesome articles. Recorder Pro
Tern Preston today announced his of
ficial backing of a war started by' the
city- health department against restau
rants, butchers and other dealers who
sell or offer for sale spoiled foods.
To show that he means business.
Judge Preston imposed a fine of *50.75
on B. Tomasso, proprietor of a deli
catessen in Viaduct way, between
Peachtree and Broad streets. Meat In
spector Wasser, who Is conducting the
crusade, made a case against Tomas
so for having spoiled meats in his
place. Still another case is pending
against Tomasso. In this Instance a
customer is said to have suddenly be
come deathly sick in the delicatessen
just after eating an order of meat.
Three other cases, made Inspector
Wasser against Victor Cohen, Joseph
Ruben and L. W. Brown, will be tried
Tuesday.
Jail For Second Offense.
Judge Preston says that the court
will deal severely with all dealers found
with bad meats or other unwholesome
foods on hand for sale, or who are con
victed of selling such articles. A sec
ond offense, he says, will mean 30 days
in the stockade.
Section 188 S of the city code pro
vides, in addition to fine and imprison
ment. the forfeiture of license for any
dealer convicted of selling spoiled
foods. The present cases, however,
have all been made under section 1258,
which does not include the license pro.
vision. It is probable that the health
department will make all future cases
under section 1886. thus making the
penalty more severe.
