To the Public:
We, the undersigned citizens and
taxpayers of the city of Atlanta and of
Fulton county, do most respectfully
and earnestly present to the city and
county authorities the following mat.
tere for Immediate and vigorous ac
tlon:
First. The assaults upon white wo
men and girls by negroes meets our
severest condemnation. We denounce
It as damnable, outrageous and as pui
ting In peril the peace, good order ani
welfare of all people In this community,
Second. We believe In the enforce
ment of law. We believe that defects
In the criminal law should be speedily
cured, and we want crime stopped and
criminals punished by law and by of

able to have or form any whttecap or
ganizatlon or clan, like or similar to

cannot be properly controlled. They
may be composed of good men, but
tend to friction, riot and chaos. We
protest that ours Is a law-abiding

OWNERSHIP OF ROADS
PLAN CHEERED TO ECHO
BY RADICALS OF PARTY
By JOHN TEMPLE GRAVES.
(Editor of The Atlanta Georgian.)
Bpeelul to The Georgian.
Nee York, Aug. JJ.—It I* the simple
truth to say that Bryan's speech last
night has simply revived the differ
ences between the two wings of the
Democratic party^^^^^^H^^^^H
tiic radical element of the party
heartily applauded nil utterance relat
ing to the government ownership of
railroads. The conservative element
shrugs Its shoulders, and not raring to
enter a protest 111 the face of the pres
rut Bryan movement, contents ltsel
with aaylng that It was merely an ex
prreslon of his Indlvldusl opinion and
not Intended to be urged as a plank In
Hi? next national platform.
IT BROUGHT APPLAUSE.
Senator Simmons, of North Carolina,
nsi u night's rest and worry over It.
nature Daniel and Martin, of Vir
ginia, conservatives, shook their heads
doubtfully over It. Griggs, of Georgia,
rather likes It, but the alignment Is
everywhere the same, the radical Dem
ocrats rejoicing and the conservatives
doubtful and at heart disapproving.
Meanwhile It Is highly significant
that no part of Bryan's if/iech re-
celved sucli Instant, enthusiasm and
long continued spplause from the i rent
representative audience In Madison
Square Garden aa the railroad utter
ance. It wai a brave and consistent
thing In Bryan to make It. The New
York papers comment varlouely.
Call It Undemocratic.
The Times nnd Tribune declare that
It t* undemocratic and ranges Bryan
alongside of, Hearst In the effort to
reorganise the Democratic party along
radical lines, even If party lines are
obliterated to do It. It Is significant
that Hearst, after the meeting at the
garden, broke hie rule and called on
Bryan at hla hotel, remaining some
time. To summarize the whole situa
tion, the epeech leaves the Democratic
leaders who are In New York undecided
In approval and distrust. But Bailey
and Culberson, of Texas, gave the
stamp of their approval ay speaking at
the overflow meeting after having read
Bryan’s speech In advance.
It was a great speech, a mighty,
magnificent audience and a vast en
thusiasm. To my own mind, 1 believe
that Bryan believes and knows he can
sweep the country on his railroad plank
as Hoke Smith swept Georgia. The
age Is radical, the majority of the
Democrats and many of the Republi
cans are against the railroads and will
follow Bryan. Five years hence they
might not do It. But they will do It
next year or two years hence.
Regarding Invitation.
Bryan would neither accept nor de
cline the Invitation to the Atlanta fair
for October. He was Just uncertain
about his October t'lnys. He was will
ing to come In September, but would
not be able to say about October un
til after he had visited Lincoln, Nets
The Georgia delegation, fifteen strong,
called on Hearst at hla home yester
day.
DISOWNS BODY OF HUSBAND

Staff Correspondence.
Jonesboro, Gs., Aug. Jl.—About eight
minutes after the end of hla trial for
the murder of B. H. Dorsey, tha father
of hie twin brother's sweetheart,
which he waa vindicated by the Jury,
Leon T. Milner, of Jonesboro, was
Thursday night attacked by men who
are declared by him to be the two
younger sons and a cousin of the dead
man, and seriously, If not fatally,
wounded.
The liberated man. In company with
officers of the law. was going to the
Jail to get hla effects, when the on
slaught occurred, the first fire upon the
freed man occurring Just as he was
bout ten feet from tho front door of
the court house, the assailants belnF
that far In hla rear and Juet opposite
the entrance, the first firing being
poured Into him from the back.
Aa he was shot at he was then arm
In arm with a deputy ; herlft of the
county, and another deputy and
•herlft being along fot protection. •
Shot in the Beck.
Notwithstanding this protection, he
was shot In the back. In the dark In
a, running fire, and aa he dragged him
self to cover from hla assailants, left
a trail of blood behind.
He Is now In a precarious condition
at his mother's home on Smith street.
In Jonesboro.
In a statement given to Solicitor
General Wlfilum Bchley How ard, of the
atone Mountain circuit, by Leon T.
Milner, In tho Jonesboro Jail Thursday
night shortly after he was shot, the
wounded man states that Otis Dorsey
fired tho first shots. Will Norris the
next two or three end Lople Dorsey the
•hot that caused him to fall.
Louis Dorsey la now In the police
station In Atlanta, and his cousin. Will
Norris. Is In Jail at Jonesboro. Otis
Dorsey Is still at large. Norris It
said to work at Nunnatly's, In Atlanta,
and was arrested about 4:46 o clock
Friday morning as he was about to
board the Jonesboro accommodation
train to Atlanta. _ ■.
He was arretted by Deputy Sheriff
Ed Ragan and Bailiff John M. Afchar.
Louis Dorsey waa arreated by Officer
Bone early Friday morning at the home
of hla uncle. Judge R. T. Doreey,
Atlanta.
Town Stirred to Depths.
Jonesboro and Clayton county are
•tlrred to their depths, but with sub
dued, suppressed excitement. Little
knots and groups of men would huddle
together here and there on the court
house lawn, on the streets and around
the railway station.
On the trains It seemed to be the
one topic of conversation, and for the
nonce, overshadowed the great Bryan
reception In New York. "Sad, very
•ad,'' said one passenger, "Sad things
have happened in our grand old state
In the paet six months."
Milner la suffering Intensely from
four bullet wounds, where an aged
mother and twin brother and sympa
thetic neighbors are ministering to hla
Died*.
The bone In hie right leg Is split, hit
right arm broken, a wound In the elds
of hie right hip end In the beck of the
left shoulder. Accounts vary as to the
number of shots fired. Some say eight,
some ten. In the straggling road lead
ing from the court house to the Jail,
some forty steps from where the shoot-
Ing began, a bullet was picked up about
the else of those used In JJ-callbre
pistols.
Grand Jury is Busy.
All Friday morning the grand Jury
was busily engaged In hearing teetl
mony from witnesses, who, It was
thought, would thiW any light on the
tragedy. There was an unusual still
ness about the court room over which
Judge L. S. Roan presided. Solicitor
Howard was kept busy going to and

L. L. DORSEY ARRESTED
AT JUDGE R. T. DORSEYS;
JUST FROM JONESBORO
L. L. Dorsey, a son of the man
who was killed by Milner, was arrest
ed at 3 o'clock Friday morning at the
home of Judge R. T. Dorsey, his uncle,
at 171 Capitol avenue. He refused to
make any statement and was locked
up at the police station with "suspi
cion” registered opposite his name on
the state docket.
In company with Hugh M. Dorsey,
of the firm of Dorsey, Brewster A
Howell, L. L. Dorsey drove in a buggy
from Jonesboro to'Atlanta. They ar
rived at Jones' livery stable on For
syth street Just before 3 o'clock and
put up their team. They then went
to the home of Hugh M. Dorsey and
his father, Judge Dorsey, on Capitol
avenue.
Shortly after the shooting the At
lanta police station received a tele
phone call from that point, Instructing
the officers to keep a lookout for L. L.
Dorsey and Arthur L. Norris, who were
said to have left Jonesboro on their
way to Atlanta. Plain Clothes Officers
Bone and Cason were sent to watch
the home of Judge Dorsey, while Call
Officers Dunton and Callaher went to
the hoirie of Norris, 426 Capitol avenue.
The latter gained no results from their
vigil, as Norris did not come to At
lanta.
After waiting about thirty minutes
the two plain clothes men saw Hugh
Dorsey and L. L. Dorsey approach the
house. As they entered the officers
stepped up and notified L. L. Dorsey
that he was under arrest. They had
no Instructions concerning Hugh Dor
sey, who was not disturbed.
One of the officer* stated that while
they were talking to the men that one
of the two dropped a reviver on the
floor and that Hugh M. Dorsey snatch
ed It up and ran Into the house. When
the officers demanded the pistol it was
returned to them. When It appeared
It w'aa loaded In every chamber. The
weapon, a 88 caliber Colts revolver,
with six chambers, was retained at
police headquarter*. A request for
an examination of It was denied and
it was not stated whether or not it
showed marks of being recently dis
charged.
L. L. Dorsey gave the officers no
trouble after his arrest and accom
panied them to the police station. The
officers stated that ho said he had
heard the shots fired in Jonesboro.
Would 8ay Nothing.
Both Judge Dorsey nnd Hugh Dor
sey instructed him to make no further
statement. According to the officers
an inquiry for Norris was answered
by Hugh Dorsey, who replied that Nor
ris had nothing to do with the shoot-
In*.
The prisoner, who was locked In a
state cell, preserved his silence Friday
morning and refused t<> make any
statement to newspaper men, sayfng
that he would prefer not to talk. Hugh
Dorsey called upon ihlm early In the
forenoon and spent some time In con
versation with him. He made no state
ment. No application for bond for
Dorsey was made during the forenoon.

TRUST CO. DIRECTORS
ACCEPTED DEPOSITS
KNOWING OF CRASH
By Prlvste I.eased Wire.
Philadelphia. Aug. Jl.—Amatlng dla-
cloauret today concerning the devious
methods of Frank K. Hippie, president
of the collapsed Real Estate Trust
Company Included chiefly the remark'
able statement that he put up 11,000.-
000 In one of the wild schemes of
Lewie O. Tewksbury, the former New
York bank "promoter."
George H. Earle, receiver of the
failed concern, one of the most promi
nent financiers of Philadelphia, Is con
nected with four of the largeet banks
of the city, end Is chiefly Interested In
trying to rehabilitate the trust com
pany.
Bays He Got *5,000,000.
He made this statement today:
Frank K. Hippie blew hla bralne out
because he was an embextler of at
least 15.000,000. In addition, he waa
hypothecated J6J.000 worth of paper,
securing J50.000 on It and never re
turning the paper or Ite equivalent
-The loans, amounting to 16,000,000,
that Hippie made to Adolph Segal were
personal loans. Although made in the
name of the bank, the directors had
no knowledge of them and consequent
ly the money was stolen by Hippie."
Directors Knew of 8uicide.
The directors of the tnut company
made the amazing admission that they
knew on Sunday night that President
Hippie was a suicide, and despite this,
they kept the bank open for two days.
They admitted that during these two
days all the deposits received were
marked and placed for safe-keeping In
the Franklin National Bank. The law
makes It a criminal offence for of-
[Jlcers of an Inetltutlon to receive de
posits, knowing that the bank Is In
solvent.
The marking of tha money on Mon
day and Tuesday Is a confession that
the directors knew the bank to be In
solvent And It waa further shown to
day that the directors and friends of
directors, knowing the bank to be In
solvent and 11s president a suicide, had
ample opportunity to draw out their
deposits.
Clerks Tipped Friends.
And the clerks, taking their cue from
the marking of the new deposits, were
able to notify their friends, and the.-*
In turn their friends, and ns a result
there was a run on the bank f-r two
days by these lucky depositors w ho
were on the Inside.
■The fact that the trust company held
more than JC0,040,000 worth of Various
collateral, principally to secure corpor
ation bond Iseues, and that It also held
securities representing the Investment
of more than J2J,000,000 of trust funds,
makes the crash formidable and com-
plex.
