THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN. 3,000 ATLANTA HOMES WITHOUT SERVANTS Hotels Locked UpTheir Waiters Saturday For Protection. RIVAL PARTIES TO MEET AND NAME THEIR TICKETS FOR N. Y. STATE ELECTION When ft cornea to servant problems i the acute and concrete stage, Sun- ay in Atlanta set a standard hard to duplicate. It la estimated that at least 3,000 homes were servantless and that In as many more the cooks and house serv ants were kept on the place, and In d<>xens of business bouses where negroes are employed a soft spot was found In preference to attempting to get home. r The spectacle of the young man of the family peeling the potatoes and the mater and sisters cooking the meals was quite the thing Sunday. It was seen In nearly every home where the servants had been possessed of suf ficient nerve or Ignorance to go home Saturday night. And warm water, too, became fash ionable and Ice cream scarce. I’nless a ramify lived In the central portion of the city It had to go iceless—or that same young man who peeled the pota toes had to go to the factory with a wheelbarrow. At most of the Ice plants the negro drivers and Ice handlers re ported for work, but they were scared to go out on the wagons. Restaurants which had waiters Sat urday night and wanted them Sunday were careful to keep them Indoors. The Aragon Hotel and Silverman’s restau rant locked up their servants and kept them safe until Sunday-then they were more fortunate than soma of their competitors and had their regular help. The negro messenger boys employed by the Postal Telegraph people w kept in the call room ull night. Vault of Chicago Trust oC Robbed iu Mysterious Manner.

I AT THE THEATERS CABS DESERTED IN THE STREETS When the rioters Saturday night be gan to cease fo discriminate beween Innocent and guilty negroes In their wild desire to “kill all of 'em," the cab service of the city was the first to suffer. The night hawks deserted their vehicles and left them standing by the curbs In the uptown streets, or drove Into the residence district, where the mob did not venture, and left their horses to take care of themselves us best they knew how. Hut they knew how, and moat of them waited patient ly until a white driver came and got them. On Sunday walking or street car rid ing was popular. The cabbies did not return to their two-and-four wheelers, but stayed at home.or Joined the army of negroes which left Atlanta. The hacks, however, were not the only vehicles divested of their negro drivers. The hotel baggage wagons suffered the same fate and on Sunday white attaches were mounted on the high seats.

HIGGINS NOT LIKELY FRIENDS OF HEARST TO ENTER CONTEST FOR RENOMINATION Woodruff, Bruce and Hughes Look Good on Eve of Convention. Saratoga, N. Y., Sept. 24.—On the eve of the state Republican onventlon the delegates are all at sea. but one thing seems settled, and that Is Governor Higgins will not be a candidate for renomlnatlon. There Is no doubt that he can have the nomination If he signi fies his desire for It, and he has prom ised to make his wishes know n today. Woodruff, Parsons, O’Brien,* Ward, Grlener, Franchol, Hendricks, Aldridge and Barnes are all here, but they con not forecast what Is going to happen. Hlstes are made only to be broken. Platt Is not here, and this Is the first state convention since I860 that he has missed. Senator Depew's absence Is commented upon today. He has attend ed every state convention In the last forty years. Odell’s hand has been shown In the launching of u boom for Hughes, but the most talked of candidates In tho event of Higgins’ withdrawal, are Woodruff and Bruce. Woodruff, how ever, Is ambitious to go to the United States senate, and this may leave the way open for Bruce, ^vh<r w ould be ac ceptable to Oyster Bay. The platform. It Is understood, will unreservedly Indorse the administra tion of the president and Governor Hig gins. THINK DEMOCRATS WILL INDORSE Hi Much Depends on Action of the Tammany Hall’ Delegates. Buffalo, N. Y., Sept. 24.—As the hour approaches for the opening of the Democratic state convention, Buffalo Is rapidly filling with visitors from many states who believe they perceive In the action of the convention tomorrow' a political revolution which will affect the nation. Belief Is growing In some quarters that William Randolph Hearst will be the candidate named to head the ticket, although friends of District Attorney Jerome and Justice Gaynor are very active. George W. Batten, Democratic state committeeman, of Niagara; Frank W. Brown, Democratic state committee man. of Wyoming; Frank H. Mott, of Chautauqua, Democratic state com mitteeman; Jnmes O. Bennett, of Chau tauqua; W. E. Murphy, chairman of the Orleans county Democratic com mittee; Charles P. Bacon, of New York, and a score of other prominent Democrats, are busy receiving dele gates at the headquarters of William Conners at the Iroquois. There are good evidences that every' power of the Ryan-Sheehan-Belmont ring Is being brought Into play in an effort to defeat Hearst. Much, It is believed, depends upon the action of Charles F. Murphy. It Is believed by those close to Tammany that the greater proportion of -them will throw their Influenc^ to, Hearst. Tents and Stores Sent Ashore From U. S. Warships.

Most of these late arrivals w f ere armed. Many were men who came to the city fearing an uprising of ne groes. and who Joined the mob without taking a hand In the actual violence.

' Rumors From 8uburbs. From the suburbs came most of the rumors. Early In the afternoon n squad of p<dice was hurried to a point far out on Marietta street, where a mob had attacked several negroes. The patrol wagon returned with one victim, beaten and left for dead, but he soon recovered ftt the Grady hospital. From Rey aglned themselves supported by an army. With the late Incoming street cars additional horrors occurred. Every car brought a number of negroes returning from the outskirts, and these were greeted with yells of glee by the riot ers. Every negro—woman as well ai man—was dragged from the cars and brutally beaten. If the street car com pany could have been warned In time not to bring negroes to the city some of the assaults might have been avert ed. Hut the negroes were brought nt rapid Intervals Into the heart of the disorder. Mayor Trios to Ouiot Mobs. It was Mayor Woodward himself who turned In the lire alarm. He had mounted a dry goods box in Decatur street and begged the rioters to dis perse, but they returned him only Jeers and hoots. He jumped from his ros trum and ran to tho lire alarm box at Ivy and Decatur streets. When the companies arrived Mayor Woodward ordered the hose turned on the crowd. When 2 o’clock had struck from the ity clocks the uptown streets were luiot again and but for rumors of riot ing In the suburbs It appeared that the misrule of a night was over, that the mob had spent Its temper In tramping over the streets and the morning might bring peace. But the next day was Sunday, when the class that makes a mob has no occupation but to throng the streets. The Idleness brought Its results in a day of scat tered riots and a night of fear. When early risers hurried to the downtown streets Sunday morning they expected to find a scene of age and turmoil. Instead they found quiet dty with no traces of the sat urnalia of .the night before. All that attracted attention was the soldiery in khaki who patrolled the streets and nodded pleasantly to friends who passed. Soldier* In Marietta Street. Marietta street was the center of the military. Here several companies were marshaled, some with rifles stacked and blankets piled In heaps, while others »re marching from point to point, me sleepy detachments, wearied from restless night, were sleeping on the asphalt. Colonel Clifford Anderson, Adjutant Burton Smith and other of- nferred on the duties of the The military, ordered to the streets prevent a repetition of the scenes the night before, served to almost ns big a crowd as that which made Marietta street a devil’s a few hours earlier. But It w ferent type of crowd, curious, orderly, j ho Indignant at the lawlessness of the {pickets West Peachtree place, from Whitter Mills, from far out Whitehall street, came repeated calls for protection, When militia and police responded these rumors were found to be exag derated, though there were many of attacks on negroes by small crowds of men. Reports of negro outrages came thick and fast, but little could be discovered after Investigation. The negroes were not free from crime, however, for there were many Instances where passing street cars were tired upon and others were greeted with a hall of stones while pnssing through negro localities. It was necessary to withdraw nfl cars from the Pittsburg, Auburn avenue and Houston street lines long beforo mid night. From Pittsburg, the scene of the no torlnus riots of three years ago, came the worst reports. Repeated rumors of normous mobs were received at news paper ottlces. At midnight It was said that negroes had murdered a young white girl there and In the fight that followed the militln had killed 200 blacks, while four soldiers had been shot. Colonel Anderson received a re port a few moments luter that all wai quiet nt Pittsburg and there had been no disorder worth mentioning. Saloons Are Closed. Early In the afternoon the police board held a meeting at headquarters. Mayor Woodward announced that he had ordered every saloon to remain losed until further orders and had In structed pawnshops and hardware houses to refuse to sell weapons of any kind. All w ho tried to buy pistols Sun day were refused until they could oh tain an order from the military author Itles. Many men tried to purchase weapons for the protection of their homes. Fire at Kirkpatrick Home. At 9 o'clock a Are alarm was turned In and the home of \\\ W. Kirkpatrick, 148 Capitol avenue, was- found In flames. Two negroes had been dis charged that day by Mr. Kirkpatrick, and when the flre was extinguished it was found that the walls had been saturated with kerosene. Several oth er nlarmes followed and Incendiarism feared, but no conflagration fol lowed. midnight the Governor’s Horse Guards, which had )>atro|led the suburb an streets, returned to report that everything was quiet and the situation well In hand. From every section of the city reports from police and mili tary confirmed the Impression that no more trouble would follow.

Sept. 24.—All Is In readiness to land a force of 2,500 marines and blue Jackets In Havana, fully equipped for active service, within two hours. Whether or not they will be landed de pends upon the devolpments within the next few' days. Tents and stores al ready have been put ashore. The feeling this morning that both sides W'ould submit the trouble to ar bitration of the American commission ers without reservation Is not so san guine as It was yesterday. The rebel field leaders, I learn, are inclined to insist on assurances that there will be a new election, which assurance Mr. Taft declines to give. He refused to day to discuss the situation. Messrs. Taft and Bacon held a con ference today with Jose Miguel Gomez, Juan Gualberto Gomes, Pelayo Gar da, Senator Gazo, Demetrlo Castillo, Jesus Monteagudo, Carlos Garcia and Alfredo Zayas, representing the mal contents, after which It Is possible they will be ready to make some announce ment. It Is regarded as significant that Mr. Taft, when the diplomatic corps called on him informally, called their atten tion to the fact that the United States Intended to restore and maintain onrtcr In Cuba and asked their assistance to the extent of keeping him Informed of any matters of Interest. It Is the gen erally expressed opinion of the dlplo malic corps that nothing short o American Intervention will restore and maintain order. Colonel Avalos, with 600 government troops, with machine guns, arrived at iGuanaJay at 11 o’clock yesterday morn ing. having marched from Candelaria on tlje way to Havana from Pinar del Rio. If they march to Havana they will come Into direct contact with General PJno Huerta's .troops, who are en camped on the road leading from Guanajny to the capital. General Gperra Informed Senator Zayas that unless Colonel Avalos Is halted a fight will ensue. Senator Zayas Informed Mr. Taft, who told the reporters last night that stories of the danger of a dash between the rebels and the government troops had reached him. He added that he had received complaints of bad faith from both sides. He had sifted these and found them groundless. It Is stated that Colonel Avalos will proceed no further than Guanajay, 52 PEllMW HAVE NARROW ESCAPE Wabash, Ind., Sept. 24.—Fifty-two persons connected with an amusement company which has been exhibiting at Fort Wayne, Ind., had a narrow escape from death near here today. They were In a special car which left the track and was held suspended over a deep ditch. Fifteen of the occupants were Injured, but none seriously. LUTHER ROSSER’S RIFLE CALMED ONE ANGRY MOB BROUGHT TO ATLANTA FOR SAFE KEEPING Fred Hawkins Placed In Fulton County Jail By Order of Judge. Negroes Were Forced to Get Off Cars by Csr Inspectors. Special to The Georgina. Gainesville, Ga., Sept. 24.—Sheriff W. A. Crowr left on the Air Line Belle train at 7:12 o’clock this morning for Atlanta with Fred Hawkins, who was last Thursday convicted In Hall su perior court of the assassination of Henry E. Cagle and sentenced to a life term In the penitentiary. Haw'kins was removed to the Fulton county Jail for safe-keeplng on the order of Judge J. J. Klmsey, before whom Hawkins was tried. It Is not known what actuated the presiding judge In having Haw' kins carried to Atlanta, as there have been no threats of violence. The or der came to Sheriff Crow last even ing. Immediately upon the announce ment of the verdict of the Jury In the court room last Thursday notice of a motion for a new trial was filed by Hawkins’ attorneys, and Judge Klm- aey set the hearing on the motion for October 22, when he will hold a special term of the superior court. This term of the court Is held pri marily for the purpose of trying the case of the state vs. Jim Reed, who charged with the murder of Hoke Hunt, son of Dr. A. W. Hunt, of Flow ery Branch. Reed was tried at the July term of Hall superior court, but the Jury could not agree upon a ver dict and a mistrial was ordered. Reed Is anxious for another trial, and It is for this purpose that Judge Klmsey III hold the term In October. Sunday night was quiet—compara tively. But there was trouble, and there were alarms, some false, some real. The entire city lay awake In ex pectation of trouble of greater seri ousness than had developed even at the height of Saturday night’s orgy of lust for blood. Cars filled with white men and wo men were summarily held up at vari ous points by fragments of the mob and were searched for negroes, just as on Saturday night. One of the most exciting of the af fairs of this sort occurred at the cor ner of Whitehall and Humphries streets nt 8:30 o’clock. A Whitehall and West End car. going at full tilt down grade, was confronted by fifty or more armed men and boys and was ordered to halt. The motorman slung on his brakes and cut off his current, but before the oar ' stopped the gangymade a rush for It was met by the conductor, with drawn revolver, and Luther Z. Rosser, with sighted Winchester. The mob lost its ardor immediately and fell away. At the corner of Lee and Park streets In West End a squad of militia and in spectors of the Georgia Railway and Electric Company were stationed all of ftunduy night and etopnod tvery incom ing car with negroes aboard. The negroes were told that It was taking their lives In their hands to attempt to go Into town, and were forced to leave the cars and take to the woods. The mob remained In the neighbor hood of Whitehall and Humphries streets until a late hour at night. For years Whitehall and McDaniel streets has been a congregating place for negroes, coming from Peters street and thfe negro settlement to the west of that street. The mob formed a dead line there and no negroes were allowed to make their way past It.

This astounding discovery was followed by the finding of the severed arms and the legs from the knees dow n In a freight car In the New York Cen tral railroad yards, only a short dis tance away.

Y., Sept. 24.—Throwing herself across the coffin of Wilbur Wlnshlp, aged 3, son of Herbert Win- ship, a farmer, of Cowles Corners, 12 miles from here, Jennie Burch, aged 14, the child’s nurse, confessed that she had poisoned the baby. She said she knew she had to die for setting fire to the house, and did not want to leave the child. The startling confession brought a cry of rage from a hundred farmers, w'ho had gathered to attend the fu neral, and for a time there were threats against the girl’s life.

In fact, I only weighed 116 when I was 28. ’Then I changed from coffee to Poa- tum, being the first one In our family to do so. I noticed, as did the rest of the family, that I was surely gaining strength and flesh. Shortly after I was visiting my cousin, who said: ’You look so much better—you’re getting fat.’ "At breakfast his wife passed me a large-sized cup of coffee, as she knew I always such a coffee drinker, but I said, ’No, thank you.’ Whatt* said my cousin, ‘you quit coffee? What do you drink?’ ’’’Postum,’ I said, ’or water, and I am well.’ They did not know' what Postum w'as, but my cousin had stom aeh trouble and could not sleep at night from drinking a large cup of coffee three times a day. He was glad to learn about Postum ,but said he never knew coffee hurt anyone. After understanding my condition and how I got well he knew what to do for himself. He discovered that offee was the cause of *hls trouble, as never used tobacco or anything else the kind. You should now see the change In him.
