THURSDAY. SKI’TEMHMU 27. UK'S. & COUNCIL OFFERS REWARDS FOR ALL WHOM GUILT! City Determined to Punish Rioters Who Killed or Wounded Negroes. HEARSTNOMINATED FOR GOVERNOR BY THE NEW YORK DEMOCRA1 The determlhatlon of Atlanta to wipe out any stigma connected with the event* of the post few day* was clear ly ahown at the adjourned session of council Wednesday afternoon when It was unanimously voted to reward the capture of any of those who killed or attempted to kill during the riot. The resolution was adopted giving $200 to the captor of any of the murderers. The reward will be given on conviction. Captain W. D. Ellis spoke of the ar tlon taken by the dtlsens* committee, stating that the committee favored glv Ing the rewards. "If the city council of Atlanta favors and starts the rewards the citizens will supplement It,” said Captain Ellis. "The rewards should bo given by the city, the county and state. We have seen the mayor and will see the governor. Captain English also spoke on the subject. The mayor had the following com munication by him to the council read: "To the General Council of the City of Atlanta: "Gentlemen—It becomes my painful duty to officially call to your attention the deplorable conditions that have ex isted in our beloved city sines last Saturday night. I would hare ad dressed a communication to your hon orable body at Its session on yester day, but earnest and necessary work in other 'directions prevented my doing so or even being present at the meet ing of your body. "It ii »o be deeply regretted that such scenes as were presented upon our streets on last Saturday hlght should ever nave occurred, and I do not believe that they would have been possible on any other time during the week than Saturday night, when such large numbers of people are congre gated upon the- streets. While there had been several beastly crimes at tempted by black brutes upon white women during tne past few weeks, yet I do not believe that violence would have been resorted to If It' had not been for the Inflammatory, sensational newspaper extras that were continual ly flooding the streets; and the reports they contained. In some Instances, were upon Investigation found to be utterly void of any foundation. Such work Is a atlgma upon reputable Journalism, and should be, and I believe will be, condemned by all classes of our people. "I thoroughly understand that our people will not tolerate the crime of assault, at the rams time there Is nothing that Justlflas the Infliction of punishment upon Innocent peopli cording to all the Information that I have the victims of Saturday night's outbreak were Industrious, law-abiding negroes who had no reason to expect such treatment. While there were a Fall and Winter Clothing FOR 1906-07. You will find New and Fashionable Suits, Top Coats, Overcoats, Raincoats, Trousers, Hats, Shoes, Youths’ and Boys’ Clothing from the famous makers of America. We are showing an enormous stock of the “Fit-Rite” Brand and backed up with our r at many people upon the streets, I not believe that there were a great many actually engaged in riotous con duct. "It Is not necessary for me, at this time, to address you at length, but I think It eminently proper to direct your attention to the preamble and resolu tions printed In the dally press. They sre the expressions of some of Atlan ta's foremost dtlssns, people who have no toleration or palliation for the crime of assault, yet they are people who condemn mob violence. "1 hope that yovr honorable body will xtve this matter your earnest consid eration. The fair name of Atlanta be fore the world demands It, and I rec ommend that you offer such a reward as will bring the offenders to a speedy trial, that Justice may be meted out to each one engaged. It should be suf ficient satisfaction to those who desire to take the law Into their own hands when they are sure that they have the actual criminal; and they should not kill or punish an Innocent, law-abiding citizen for the vicious crime of a brute. Respectfully submitted, "JAMES O. WOODWARD, "Mayor." AN EXPERTWILLAID IN SELECTING SITES W. G. Smith, of the United States department of agriculture, has arrived In Atlanta and will take up the work of examining soils In the localities offer ing sites for the congressional agri cultural colleges. for the purpose of aiding the state to select the lands best adapted for the purpose, tha United State* department of agriculture will send two experts to Georgia, Mr. Smith being the flrat to arrive.

No restaurant will be allowed to serve wine, whisky or even beer. And no chairs or tables will be allowed In any saloon. Alderman Qullllan offered the resolu tion and It was unanimously passed after a few feeble skirmishes. The resolution followed the granting of restaurant licenses. Twelve licenses were refused, the places being either under or at th back of saloons. There were 145 applications Acted upon. During the discussion of the matter Alderman Holland became somewhat heated nnd declared: “If you stop th snle of beer In restaurants there won’t be any place for the prohibition people to get a drink.” The ordinance was then passed.
