TTE8DAT. OCTOBER sn. i<»ns. THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN. L I RUSK FOR Choicest Claims Are Staked Off During the Night. LYXCHINGS AVERTED BY MOUNTED POLICE ROOT’S SPEECH PRINTED BY GOVERNMENT OFFICE Public Printer Forced to Aid Hughes’ Campaign. PRINTERS GO HUNGRY TO “RUSH” THE*JOB Secretary of State to Show Administration’s Hand in New York State. Protests by Telegraph Are Filed Avith Department of the Interior. Oklahoma Cfty. Okla., Oct. 30. th*> moat valuable mineral clalma In the Walker Lake Indian reservation were located In the darknes last nlftht In willful defiance of the United Slates law. When the rush took place Into the reservation, those who had waited for the signal found that all the most valuable land cdalms In the vicinity of the Rich Dutchman's Cottonwood, and numerous other ccreeks emptying Into the southwestern section of Walk er lake had been taken up by the men who had rushed In the darkness of night contrary to law. Police Prevent Lynohing. only the presence of mounted Indian policy restrained the angry, disap pointed gold seekers from taking the law Into their own hands and Iylnch- Ing the men'who had crossed the line In the darkness. A scandal of im mense proportions la brewing. Not on ly did unscrupulous settlers Ignore the but serious charges are made against officers of the United States army. The rush Itself was the most spec tacular thing of Its kind ever wit nessed In the history of the opening of Indian reservations. The signal for the rush was the firing of a mighty blast of dynamite at the highest point on the adjacent mountains. Men Fight During Race. As the crash of the explosion rent - the air, hundreds of gold seekers In automobiles and on rare hurses, dashed arruss the line In an Indiscriminate mixture. In the first Impetus of the rush many men narrowly escaped be ing run over and trampled to death under the hoofs of horses and being crushed befaieefm' the automobiles. The sand arose from the plain In stifling clouds. It Clogged the wheels of the automobiles as well as the hoofs of the horses. Many of the autos be came stalled In the deep sands and those on horseback were really at an advantage. As a number broke down or stuck In the sand, the occupants continued the race on foot. Men fought with each other; pulled each other down In their mad efforts t» gain some slight advantage In the race for gold. Angsr Follows Disappointment. It was a sorry, Jaded, disappointed lot of men who arrived finally at the coveted Eldorado. Overcome by thirst and exhaustion, the gold seekers barely had strength enough left to search for locations. Then at once arose a storm of anger and cursea AH the choice locations along the gold-bearing creeks had been taken. The rush Into the reservation was followed by. a rush out of It to the tel egraph wires, which were burdened with protests to the secretary of the Interior. It Is believed all claims will be declared Invalid and a new rush arranged for.

His spetch Is nog ready— a portion of It was put In type at the government printing office yesterday, and just enough of It has leaked out to show that the secretary, who always has something to say when he takes the stump or platform, will pay his re spects to Candidate Hearst In choice, but vigorous language that cannot be misunderstood. He will speak for the administration and when he has spoken there will he no doubt, If doubt ever existed, as to the deep interest felt In Washington In Candidate Hughes' election. Worked in Lunch Tims. Secretary Root completed the prep aration of hla apeech yesterday. Short ly before noon Chief Clerk Denby sent part of It, If not the whole of the speech, to Public Printer Stillings as an emergency piece of work. It waa to be put Into type by 3 o'clock p. m. Of course Mr. Stillings waa equal to the emergency. Doubtless he knew what the document waa, but there was no pause for Inquiry to Interrupt the office routine. The speech went to the printers, cut In small "takes,” and was In type at the hour, appointed. To get the apeech In type by 3 p. m„ printers worked, dur ing the noon or lunch hour. If It had been a presidential proclamation the force would have gone hungry and complained not a whit, but when they discovered they were working out of hours on a political speech,, and that, too, .containing an attack on the print ers' friend, William R. Hearst, a few of them, at least, felt quite disgruntled. Printers Are Disgusted. "Why should the government print ing office be used to set up political speeches?" they asked.- This question went the rounds quiet ly, of course, but nqt- quietly enough to prevent Its reaching the public ear In the course of a few hours. Secretary Root, when questioned last evening, very promptly made the elate ment printed above In the foregoing. Public Printer Stillings says he simply executed an order received from the department of state. The question of "pvertlme” for the printers, wtfio FAILURE OF THE POLICE RESPONSIBLE FOR RIOTS (Continued from Pago Ont.) Went hungry, may come up at the end of the week. Secretary Root has decided to leave Washington for Utica, N. Y., Wednes day, where he will apeak Thursday In the Interest of the candidacy of Charles E. Hughes, for governor.

Under the provision* of the bill, as It left the house of commons, children were not compelled to attend school during the time devoted to religious Instruction. A '> amendment submitted to the house nf lord* reverses this and It was car- rl-d by a vote of 266 to 66. The majority Included the archbishop < ’anterbury, a score of bishops, and almost the whole opposition. The Ind ent inaugurates the long-foreseen [>Kht between the opposing majorities h» the two houses on the education question. Washington, Oct. 80.—Disgust mixed with amusement was the feeling shown by officials of the state department to day when their attention was called to what they characterized the remarka ble speech made In Berlin'last week by Professor Burgess, of Columbia University, who Is the flrst Incumbent of the Theodore Roosevelt professor ship ot American history at the Uni versity of Berlin, Germany. The statements made by Professor Burgess that high protective tariff and the Monroe doctrine are obsolete In this country are stigmatized as canards manufactured by Professor Burgess, without any authority from ony one connected with the American govern ment. While the president Is doing his ut most to encourage friendly relations between the United States and Ger many, there is authority for the state ment that he will not stand for the re marks made on Sunday last In Berlin by Professor Burgess. If that gentle man has been correctly quoted. It Is possible that Professor Burgess’ re marks will prove not to have been so radical as they have been reported** Placing the United States In what Is declared to be an entirely erroneous position will do Incalculable Injury to the promotion of those amicable rela tions between this country and Ger many, for which the present adminis tration is striving.

KAISER WANTS MILLIONAIRE 10 AID BIG UNIVERSITY ■ salary basis, feeling well assured that nearly all the abuses with which justice courts In tills county have been charged during the past few years are directly traceable to the fee System. "We recommend that when the time errives for nominating candidates for the legislature from this county. In 1908, strong and capable men be voted for who are willing to pledge them selves In advance that they will use every effort to have such legislation enacted as will abolish* the fee system absolutely, as far as this county concerned. Road Improvsm.ntt. The Jury recommended the Improve ment of 'many roads In different por tions of the county. It called atten tion especially to the fact that the roads In the northern part of the coun ty have been practically umvorked. In speaking ot these latter roads, the report says:. "We fljjd upon Investigation that pre grand Juries have called atten- vlous tlon to these facts, as well as others. In this same repoot, yet the commisalon- era seem to Ignore entirely all the rec ommendations of the various grand Ju ries." Here are two more striking para graphs from the presentment as It af fects roads and bridges: "The matter of the Ju-idge over the Southern railroad near Brookivood should be attended to by the county commissioner! at once. It seems to us that there has been negligence on their part: the road Is In a dangeroua condition, and while It la true, no doubt, that the railroads have made promises, yet we believe If It had been an In dividual the county commissioners would have seen that the bridge attended to long ago. Corporation Should Pay. "The county road toward College Park Is now being doublp-tracked by the Georgia Railway and Electric Com pany. This corporation haa practically taken control of this publlq thorough fare, which Is one of the most valuable In the county, leaving space enough for but one vehicle to pass at u time, and we condemn the action on the part of the county commissioners In grunt ing to any corporation or Arm or In dividual the use of public roads with out adequate compensation. The Geor gia Railway and Electric Company ought to have been made to pay for sufficient ground on either side «f the road so that the public road could be extended on either side commensurate with Its needs." The Jury found the convict camps In excellent condition, but recommends that they be visited oftener by the county phyalclans and that they be lighted with electricity and given a few coats of paint. . ,, The Jury recommends that the old portion of the court house be put In better condition Immediately, "even If an Increase In the county tax rate should be necessary." The county Jail was found to be In good condition. The books of Commissioner of Pen sions Captain J. W. Lindsay and the pension books In the office of Ordinary Wilkinson were found to be In good condition, but the grand Jury recom mends that some way be provided whereby the grand Jury can make aueh an examination as to determine In a short time whether or not’ any namea have.been fraudulently placed on the lists. They recommend, however, that the examination of these pension lists be taken out of the grand Jury’s hands and that a special pension examiner be appointed for the puriwee. •Illicit Physicians. The presentment states that no di rect evidence of Illicit practice of medl cine has been obtainable, hut that they have been Informed that much practice In Fulton county la Illicit. The'Jury recommends that the legislature be naked to require a four-years’ medical course, Instead of three yeara, before a license to practice Is granted. The Jury thinks there has been con slderable Improvement In the conduct of the magistrates' courts In the last year or two. The people of Fulton county are con gratulated on having had Professor T. E. Means appointed aa superintend ent of the reformatory and the grand Jury highly compliments the conduct of this Institution. A simitar school for negro hoys Is recommended. . The grand Jury Is much gratified at the fart that for the flrst time In their existence the public schools of Fulton county ran now be kept open for nine months In the year, and la alsq pleased with the general condition of the schools. . The report on schools concltided with this paragraph: * Combined School Systsm. "The next forward step la to unite the educational Interests of the coun ty. The city of Atlanta and 'various suburbs have closely related Interests, making the present separation of school lines artificial and absurd. The other large cities of the state have the city and county schools united, with an ed ucational board representing both, and all experts agree that this Is the only proper plan. The ‘Greater Atlanta' ed ucational system, with the two high schools strengthened and magnifled into a city college, should be the aim and steps should be taken to accom plish this before the next meeting of the legislature." Here Is a sentiment to which the grand Jury gives voice In Its general recommendations: We are of the opinion that no coun ty official, while In office, ought to accept employment of any kind from any corporation controlling public util ities. No man can nerve two masters. The Interests of the county and of the corporations controlling public utilities are frequently In direct conflict, and It In practically Impossible for any man to properly serve these conflicting In terests at the same time." In conclusion the presentment bears testimony to the careful and thorough and conscientious manner In which Judges Pendleton, Reid, Calhoun and Roan perform their difficult and la borious duties. The excellent record of Solicitor C. D. Hill Is also commended. The grand Jury at Its last session adopted a resolution requesting Sheriff Nelms to withdraw the commissions of all of the special deputies appointed during the recent riot. Personnel of Jury.

This I* a tribute from a newspaper which I* familiar with the South, Its people and history. Rome years ago an Englishman In a leading London journal declared that during the Civil war hla sympathies were wholly with the North; that he regarded the South erners as white* who had degenerated under a system of slavery until they had become Inferior to their ancestor* nnd unworthy of sympathy. But after rending how they fought for four yeara against great odds, and how, after the war, they met the hard conditions of reconstruction days, maintained their racial Integrity, rebuilt their wasted land and fallen fortunes, established their supremacy, displayed their supe riority under the severest tests, and conducted themselves with courage and conservative restraint, hut with Inflex ible determination and devotion to their convictions and their (deals, his views underwent a yomplete change, and he became convinced that the white people of the South were the highest type of aJI the Aryan race—that they were the most remarkable people on the globe. This Kngllshinan should have had a better knowledge of the Southerner be fore the war. There were many Eng lishmen who did, and who testified to their high qualities, to their unsur passed excellence aa a people, and who declared the men and women of the South were the noblest types of their race.—Nashville American.
