THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN.
WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER -19C*.
1,000 ATLANTANS MEET
FOR THE RESTORATION
OF THE REIGN OF LAW
RESOLUTIONS PASSED
DENOUNCING MOB RULE
At mass meeting of Atlanta citizens at the court house Tuesday after
noon the following resolutions were adopted:
“Whereas, This city has been the scene of a series of horrible crimes
against women, causing great excitement among the people and leading
to disorder and mob violence; and,
“Whereas, The spirit of retaliation for crime, working under cover
of the mob, makes no discrimination between the innocent and the guijty
and causes the murder of Innocent and law-abiding citizens; and,
“Whereas, The first duty of any government la to protect life, liberty
and property, and the first duty of the citizen Is to obey the law and sup-,
port constitutional authority in its enforcement; and,
“Whereas, Present state of affairs had demonstrated the fact that
crime breeds crime and lawlessness begets lawlessness, and when a oues-
tlon between the races has arisen the existence of riot, acts of violence
and the spirit of the mob engenders hatred, fans the flames of racial pas
sion and spreads the spirit of anarchy until the very foundations of gov
ernment are shaken; therefore, be it *
“Resolved, That this meeting, composed of the members of the cham
ber of commerce ami other law-abiding citizens, does solemnly protest
against the jpnlrlt of lawlessness that has tarnished the fair name of our
city and led to the commission of crime.
“We denounce the cowardly and brutal murder of Innocent people and
the wounding of others, and we call upon all good men to lift their voices
Tor law and order and use their Influence to check the riotous spirit that
Is abroad in the community,
“We deplore the crimes of both races which have been committed by
their worst elements, and we solemnly protest that mob rule Is the worst
evil that can afflict society, for It carries In its train all the crimes that
human beings are capable of, and If not checked will lead td the destruc
tion of government Itself.
“We call upon the authorities of our city and state to crush anarchy
with an iron hand and spare neither expense nor force ta do so.
“And we demand that the authorities spure no effort to put a stop to
the assaults on our women. If It takes more men or more money to do It
that the authorities act accordingly. Our womanhood must and shall be
protected.
"It Is not right nor just that the Innocent, both white and black, shall
be punished for the *lrs of the guilty, and the events of the past few days
prove beyond doubt that It Is the innocent of both races that are made to
suffer as th« result of the unrestrained effort of the mob to avenge the
dastardly outrages that should be and must be punished by law.
“We further declare that It is the duty of our city to care for the sick
and wounded of both races and to bury the dead, and we pledge our will
ingness to assist the authorities If needed.
"Where government has not been able to protect life the common in-
stlnts of humanity demand that It at least care for the victims of violence
in sickness and death.'*

The best citizens of Atlanta gathered
In the courthouse Tuesday afternoon,
determined to take decisive steps to
ward restoring order and putting down
the lawlessness which has Infected the
* city since Saturday night. The spirit
of Atlanta was never shown more
clearly than by the ringing nddreases
made by prominent men In behalf of
. law and order abd protection of every
■ class. .
The meeting was called for 4 o’clock
by Sam I). Jones, president of the
chamber of commerce. When Chair
man Jones called the meeting to order
the court room was tilled to overflowing
with merchants, manufacturers, pro
fessional men, ministers—all the men
who have made Atlnnta the pride of
the South. Several negroes were pres,
ent—representatives of the class which
has tried P* restore order—and they
were given a courteous hearing. There
was no race hatred shown in this meet
ing.
Chairman Jones made a plea for
work-work for everybody, open fac
tories, a resumption of business.
“There’ll be no time foj* trouble If
white and Mack arc kept hard nt
work," he said. “There’ll be no stand
ing around street corners. The open
ing of the shops and warehouses will
do more good than anything else.
Bring the negroes back to work and
make them assured of* protection.”
Hkrry Hchleslnger urged that It he
made the sense of the meeting that nil
factories and other business enterprises
resume butdntss Wednesday morning.
Kvery man pledged himself to this and
expreftsed a willingness to open hl» fac
tory or business .house, even if at a
financial loss.
Commutes Drafts Resolutions.
A committee, composed of Clark
Howell, chairman; Charles T. Hopkins,
Walter U. Cooper, Robert K. Maddox
and Dr. W. \V. Jutmlrum, was appoint
ed to draft resolutions condemning the
recent outrages.
These adopted unanimously,
after Major John 8. Cohen, of The
Atlanta Journal,* and Colonel John
Temple Graves, of The Atlanta G«
glan, had made strung seconding
•peer hex.
Sam D. Jones, president of th*» cham
ber of comm fa.**. In tailing the moot
ing to order, said that inflammatory
speeches were not wanted, but that a
solution of the situath n must he had.
"We*U have to get things quiet.” *

properly handled by the proper authori
ties there would have been no murders.
Will we stand for Atlanta to bear the
stigma of that night? I won’t.
“Let It go to the authorities and to
the outside world that this thing has
got to stop If we have to form ourselves
•nto a vigilance committee. J
"The negroes are helpless and the
%uslness Interests are suffering beyond
neasuro on that account. There Is
only one outlet for the terror-stricken
members of the black race, and that U
flight from the city of Atlanta.
“Let Us Plsdgs Protection. 0
“Let us go to the negroes with peace
offerings and pledge them our protec
tion. If we couldn't let them live, let
us bury decently those >^e have killed
and take care of their families. Let us
raise a large subscription for this
purpose, and let us do It before we Jose
the respect of the decent, civilised
world.
“This meeting must object. No one
has yet objected to this lawlessness
and the mob has apent Itself without
obstruction.”
Mr. Hopkins closed his address by
offering the resolutions refdfred to
above, naming 8am D. Jones and
Chief Joyner, respectively, as chairmen
of the resolutions and subscriptions
committees.
Subscription is Rafted.
No sooner had Mr. Hopkins taken his

Special to The Georgian.
Dallas, Texas, Sept. 2d.—Senator Jo
seph W. Bailey last night Issued a
statement replying to the charges made
against him by Henry Clay Pierce In
recent Investigation held In St.
Louis. In beginning the statement
Senator Bailey reviews the contests
ha has had In his past campaigns
the charges brought agelnat him
the opposition, Ih his flrst campaign,
then discusses aa follows:
The flrst atop In that cam
paign of malevolence and de
traction was to have a purport-
interview with the Hon. Roger Sul
livan, of Illinois, assailing me, sent
broadcast over the country. Mr. Sulll
promptly denounced Hint Interview
a falsehood made out of the whole
The next step was to circulate
story that the Tennessee proper-
for which I am the attorney, bc-
to the Standard Oil Company; and
... , sought to Impose this falsehood
upon the fair-minded and Justice-lov
ing Democrats of Texas. Some of the
men who are circulating that story
know, and all of them could have
learned with very little Inquiry, that
the Standard OII Company had no In
terest In or connection with these prop
erties, and that they were owned by H.
C. Pierce, J. C. Vanblarcom, VV. H.
Thnmhson and many other leading bus
iness men of St. laiuls. The munici
pality of Nashville Itself, In order to
provide her people additional nnd com
peting railroad facilities, had subscrib
ed for $1,000,000 of the stock of the
railroad. The vice president of tho
railroad was Mr. Ooltra, who Is not
only a prominent business man of St.
Louis, but Is a close personal and po
litical friend of Mr. Bryan. In fact, Mr.
Ooltra entertained Mr, Bryan on his
yacht In the harbor of New York while
Sir. Bryan was waiting for the great
reception which was tendered him there
August 20.
Had No 8ecuritlea.
The railroad had passed through one
receivership, and waa on the verge of
another when I waa called Ipto the
ease. I accepted the employment, and
performed exactly the same kind of
service thal would have been expected
of nny other reputable lawyer. The
statement, so Industriously circulated
by some, that 1 ‘put $13,000,000 worth
of securltlea In thy pocket, to do with
them as 1 pleased,’ Is little less than
ridiculous. I did not hnve $12 worth of
securities In my pockets. Every dol
lar’s worth of the bonds of that railroad
company were pledged for Ita Indebted
ness. anil It was my task to prevent
those who held them Trorn enforcing
their liens and sacrificing the securi
ties at a forced sale. That I succeed
ed In doing this Is a matter of great
satisfaction to me, aa It was to my
clients. 1 not only managed the prop
erties committed to my charge In n
way to save my clients a large sum
of money, but 1 also managed It In a
way that gave to tho city of Nashville
three Important nnd competing rnllrnnd
systems, where before It had sintered
In the grasp of one, and the people of
that city testified their approval of the
disposition which I rnudo of the rail
road by public meetings nnd speeches.
It would he difficult to convince them
that I had delivered them over to the
spoliation of a gigantic ntonoply.
Had No Secret Employment.
"The third alep In the'process waa to
pretend that the testimony given by
Mr. Pierce disclosed n secret employ
ment of me In connection with those

anything srlth which I have ever come Before the committee retired Captain
In contact. If that night had been English said to the meeting that no
t
more ponnlta to carry arms should be
issued, except by the committee which
had just been appointed.
"The county and city nnd state au
thorities have not been acting together
as they should have," said lie, "This
body should adopt n resolution direct
ing the sheriff, the military, the police
ond the mayor to co-operate. The sher
iff has been Issuing entirely too many
permits for the purchase and carrying
of weapons."
Captain English said that the people
who hnve been doing the rioting are n
clasB which has nothing to lose and all
to gain by their lawless acts nnd that
these Godless men have brought dis
grace to the city.
Negro Makes Appeal.
Dr. G. 8. Penn. g well-known negro
physician, made a ringing appeal for
protection against thp worst of both
white and black* races. He ilectnred
that the people of his class wanted law
and order and protection of white wom
en. and were ready to light with the
white men ngatnst the criminal blacks.
He said lie was Informed that a plot
was being made to dynamite hla home,
and he asked that he be given some
protection. He was given hearty ap
plause and steps were taken to provide
ier protection.
IcBrtde.. the real estate dealer.
Indorsed what Dr. Penn had said and
vouched for Dr. Penn’s character as a
citizen. He made nn appeal for pro
tection of the property of Innocent ne
groes.
Guard for Gammon Seminary.
Dr. John E. White, pastor of the Sec
ond Baptist church, asked that a guard
be furnished for Go mm.in Seminary,
where, he said, 20(1 negro women
and children had fled to sleep (hat
night.
After the reading of the reaotu-
tlons It was voted that the newspapers,
which had been asked to Issue extras
containing the resolutions. Issue no ex
tra editions, owing to the lateness of
the hour nnd the effect which the
newsboys’ yells might have In the resi
dence streets.
The following were added to the com
mittee of safety: Charles T. Hopkins,

properties. Some of the very men en
gaged In this movement have been
complaining for months that I was at
torney of these very properties, and
they knew all about It a year ago. The
employment waa a perfectly proper
one, and such aa any reputable lawyer
would have accepted without the
slightest hesitation. Not only that, but
the newspapers of this state, together
with those of St. Louis and Naahvllla,
contained repeated references to those
properties and to my. connection with
them. When I flrst went to Nashville
to look over the properties, the news
papers of that city contained extended
notices of my presence there, and of
the purpose which had brought me.
During that summer and fall I
called to St. Louis four or five different
times, and nn each occasion the St.
Louis papers made mention of the
fact that I waa there td confer with
those Interested In the Tennessee
properties.’’
Senator Bailey here gives a dls
patch sent out from Nashville and pub
llshed In the Texas newspapers Con
tlnulng, he saya:
No Attempt at Concealment.
’’There never, waa the least attempt
to conceal my attorneyship for thoae
properties, nor waa there the least
reason why It should be concealed. The
objection to my employment aa the at
torney. < f those properties must pro.
ceed upon the theory that a man In
public office has no rt
private buslneaa; aw
If applied to all men and all offices
would reduce the public life of this
y to a point where only the rich
men or rascals could afford to accept
an office. If I had found that my time
and strength would not permit to serve
as a senator and to practice law at the
same time, I would have abandoned the
law without the slightest hesitation,
because I have always believed, and
acted upon the belief, that the public
service holds the highest claim
every man who undertakes It; or,
had found that there waa any con
flict between my duty to my clients
and my duty to my constituents, *
would have declined all employment
a lawyer, because I would not suffer
myself placed In any position where
my duties might draw me In different
directions. But neither has been true
In my experience."
Senator Bailey then cites the Con
gressional Record to show that he was
a regular attendant at the national
congress and continues:
Never Betrayed the People.
“Although I have been pursued with
a bitterness unparalleled In the polltl
cal history of this state, the moat
reckless and malicious of my enemies
has never yet ventured to tell the poo
pie of Texas where I have betrayed
their Interest by speech or vote, nor
Instanced a single case where my em
ployment as a lawyer related in the re-,
molest degree to the legislation of con
gress or to tho action of any, depart
ment of the government. Their whole
argument la that, because I am In pub
lic service, I shall not bo permitted to
pursue my honorable profession In
perfectly legitimate way.
I shall continue to give—as for fif
teen years I have given—an unselfish
nnd undivided. Attention to my public
duties V’hen they require, attention;
and I shall continue to give—as I have
given—my time Jo private business
when my time ia-not reciulred by my
public duties.
Lawyer and 8anator.
I hnve never had a client In my
life who has attempted to Influence my
official action, nnd the men who em
ploy me nbout their Important affairs
have too much confidence In my Integ
rlty to suppose for one moment that
they could control or Influence me as a
senator. Of course, I know there are
men of low character and Intellect who
would slavishly do the bidding of any
man or corporation who might employ
their services and pay them a fee, but
such men seldom obtain Important em
ployment us lawyers, and Buch men
can never secure election as a senator
from the state of Texas. The upright
and high-minded lawyer gives to hla
clients the best of his legal learnlni
and ability. • no more than that, am
he would drive from hla presence any
client who presumed to think that In
retaining him as a lawyer ha had ae
cured the right to command him In
respect to any matter outside of the
legal controversy. Since the founda
tion of this republic the greatest sena
tors, whose reputations aa lawyers
could command clients, have practiced
their profession with propriety and
without criticism. Some great lawyers
have not practiced law while In the
public service because they have been
men of Independent means and did not
feci under the necessity.of providing
for their family nnd their old age by
their professions, but the
pursuing still
wisest and the beet of them have not
thought It Improper or unpatriotic to
attend to their prtvato business in their
own time.
Discusses Kirby Fee.
’The flrst criticism aghlnst my bust-
ness dealings. Is with reference to my
attoVneyahip for the Hon. John H. Kir
by, and the Kirby Lumber Company,
which Is In substance merely a restate
ment of the same matter from the Cos-
mopolltan Magaslne. The Cosmopoli
tan Magazine article did not, however,
as I now recall II, Include the state
ment, now made for tha flrst time In
this circular, that I helped Mr. Kirby
sell an East Texas railroad to the
Santa Fe system. This Is an admis
sion, and It seems strange that such
an admission should have been made
by any man ut Houston, because all
the Houston people who know any
thing about Mr. Kirby’s affairs, know
that the railroad which he built and
sold to the Santa Fe system was built
and sold yeans before 1 had any busi
ness relations whatever with Mr. Kir
by. So far from having helped Mr.
Kirby sell anything to the Santa Fe
system, no employment of mine has
ever brought me in, contact with the
officers of that railroad. I do not even
know the president of It, and I have
never discussed a business proposition
of any kind with any officer, agent or
attorney of It.
"Th^next statement la that Mr. Kir
by. Instead of going himself to Harrl-
man or Ryan or to any other great
railroad operator, employed me to do
so. That la a falsenooti. pure and sim
ple. J never saw Mr. Harrfman In my
life, and t have never dlscuesetj a busi
ness proposition with Mr. Ryan, f did
not go to Mr. Harrtman and Mr. Ryan
to sell Mr. Klrhy’a property, nor did I
go to any other Wall street flnanrler.
"It I*, however, unnecessary to oc
cupy space In pointing out the various
falsehoods of this circular, because the
attack Is bssed entirely upon my
speech delivered In the senate nn the
27th of June. As that speech was

Connection With Qjl Company.
"There le, however, one other part
of the circular to which I will make re
ply, and a moat conclusive one. They
insinuate that when tho Wsters-Plerce
Oil Company was granted a permit to
transact Ita business In Texas, I knew
that. It was not an ‘Independent con
cern.’ I stated on oath before the legis
lative committee what had been eald to
me on that subject, and I do not deem
tt necessary to call any witness to
prove the truth of what I have said.
But,. In order to prove the falsity of
what these men now say, I will print
this letter from Mr. Pierce, which I
found In my mall when I reached
Gainesville Saturday night:
"St. Louie, Mo.. Sept. 20, 1906.
