TELEPHONE GIRLS ARE
KEPT IN EXCHANGES
ANDREW CARNEGIE’S ONLY CHILD
IS AN INVALID FROM HIP DISEASE
The demands made upon the ex
changes ef the Southern Bell Company
today have been greater than at any
tlmd In the history of Atlanta. Every
availably operator has been secured
and the company Is succeeding In meet
ing the unusual demand. On account
of the condition of the city the young
lady operators are kept at the ex
changes and their meals are being fur
nished by the company. Each of the
exchanges Is equipped with a spacious
rest room and the operators not on
duty are spending their time there.
At the north and west exchanges,
which are located In the residence sec
tions of the city, details of state troops
are. on duty to afford every necessary
protectlon to the employees of the
company.
The toll room of the exchange han-
Illed more long distance calls last night
and this morning than ever before In
the history of the exchange. People
in all sections of the state are calling
Atlanta by long distance telephone to
learn of the situation here. Despite the
heavy demandti upon the company,
prompt and aatlafactory service haa
been given, and everything possible has
been done to meet the unusual sltua
tion.
Monday night operators were sent to
their homes In carriages, heavily
guarded by police and state troops. To
day and tonight the operators will re
main In the exchanges and be furnished
all the necessaries by the telephone
company.

Business Tuesday Af
ternoon. '
At 10:30 o'clock Tuesday morning
Chief Jennings Issued orders that ev
ery place, of business, such ns pool
rooms, barber shops, restaurants, etc.,
operated by negroes In all the negro
districts be closed at once.
Messengers were started out from po
lice headquarters giving notice to nil
such places along Decatur and By
streets and Auburn avenue.
. This was decided upon after a con-
ference with several leading negroes of
the city, Including H. I.. Johnson, of
the firm of Johnson A Malone, lawyers.
"Every place of business run by a
negro man ought to be closed,” said
Johnson, “and ordered closed until
quiet Is restored. And every negro
ought to be made go home and stay
there.”

ONLY TWO BOUND
OVER -TOR RIOTING
Recorder Broyles’ oCurt Un
usually Light Tues
day Morning.
Recorder Broyles' police court was
unusually small Tuesday morning. Only
two cases Of rioting were called, which
concludes nearly all of the cases of thin
character made Saturday night.
O. B. Cook, a soldier from Fort Me*
Pherson, was among the crowd on Sat
urday night, and carrying an army gun.
The recorder bound him over under
11,000 bond for rioting, but omitted the
SO-day sentence.
C. E. Holbrook, a neat appearing
young man, was In the'midst of the
Saturday night crowd, and alleged that
he was assisting the officers, but Po
liceman Doyal testified that he saw
Holbrook pull down a trolley from a
car at the corner of Marietta and
Peachtree streets. This stopped the
car and a rush was made for some ne
gro passengers, but the trolley was
replaced and the car moved on before
any damage wps done. The recorder
gave him the usual fine of 30 days and
$1,000 bond for rioting.
When Holbrook’s attorney asked to
certiorari the case the Judge replied:
"No, sir: no cases of this kind will
be allowed to be certlorarled, if I can
help it."
Cicero Finch, a negro 68 years old,
who was engaged to do some painting
at a residence, had an argument with
the lady* of the house and made a warm
defense of the negroes, and said some
Insulting things. The recorder fined
him $16.76, but took occasion to se
verely lecture the white woman, who
had stood for several minutes arguing
the matter with him.
New York, Sept. 25.—Lined up with
a score of petty crooks and pickpock
ets for Inspection and then photo
graphed and subjected to having his
linger prints taken, Paul O. Stensland,
president of the wrecked Milwaukee
Avenue bank of Chicago, today under
went a trying ordeal at police head
quarters, but bore up well under it.
He seemed glad, however, when he
was taken to the district attorney's
office, where he promised to Blgn
waiver of his right to contest extradi
tion preparatory to boarding a train
!• t • -t »y o »iur*
that may result in virtually life Im
prisonment.
Stensland slept fairly well In his cell
last night.
Inspector McLaughlin talked with the
prisoner today and the latter declared
his troubles at the bank started when
Investments he had made did not give
feturos as soon as expected, and Cash
ier Herlng took advantage of the situ
gtlon by helping hlmaelf to the funds.
On his way to board a car for the
criminal courts building, Btenslarrd and
the detective were followed by a crowd
of 600 persons.
Harry Olsen, who Is to prosecute
Stensland In the Cook county court,
gave out additional startling Informa
tion In the following Interview:
"Bunk examiners and others are still
$200,000 short. Stensland, who Is n
most methodical man, has confessed
among other things that there were
forgeries that he knows of to the
amount of $900,000. He says' he can
tell those that Herlng wrote because
each of them is marked with a cross X.
The other forgeries were committed by
other men, some of them minor em-
g loyees of the bank, whose Identity will
e revealed by Stensland."

NEGROCOLLEGES
SHELTERED MANY
i order to protect negro women and
children of the vicinity from danger
and In response to direct apjieals, the
buildings of Gammon Theological Sent
Inary and Clark University were open
ed Monday night to shelter some 25
terror-stricken j^ople.
There was absolutely no disorder In
that immediate neighborhood, the trou-
of Monday night occurring more
than a mile away. -Dr. W. J. E. Brown,
for 14 years head of Gammon Semi-
nary, deemed It expedient, however, to
shelter the frightened women and chil
dren In the buildings.
He stated Tuesday morning that the
../o institutions stood absolutely with
the best white people In the effort to
eradicate the causes leading up to the
riots, and In preserving order now.
Neither of the Institutions lias open
ed yet for the fall terms, and ample
accommodation was thus afforded the
people who sought protection there.
