"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 swer wh.en any one says it that the people don't know the kings or they wouldn't put it down as my ambition. They don’t know the kings as 1 do.

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names of William A. Prender gast and William H. Hotchkiss, rivals for the honor, which had already been presented, were withdrawn.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.

Five Hundred White Men Crowd Forsyth . County Town Anticipating Violence-Break Cp Negro Barbecue and Search Blacks For Weapons—-Preacher Whipped—Attack on White Woman Causes Trouble. r 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. ROBARTS. WHO SLEW WIFE.
