Blacks Hid in Dark Alley and When White Officers Approached They Turned Guns on Them.

NEGROES DRIVEN INTO A SWAMP, FOUR CAPTURED Great Mob Forms and in Spite of the Troops Lynchings May Follow Situation the Gravest Yet. Ifublishers' PresaJ Atlanta, Ga , Sept. 24. The situation in the race war is the gravest tonight that it has been since trouble began. In a pitched battle white patrolman and negroes, who were in hiding in a dark alley. Patrolman Heard was killed and two other officers, Jordan and Eubanks were perhaps fatally injured. Troops have been hurried' to the scene but a mob of white men have organized and more lynching may follow. The shooting occurred in South Atlanta, two miles from the business district. The troops have forced a large party of the negroes into a tswanip and four of the blacks have been captured and taken to jail under a heavy guard. The attack of the patrolmen was of a fiendish' nature. Twelve officers were on their way to the negro portion of the city to prevent mob violence by the whites, when they were unexpectedly fired on from a dark alley. They 'returned the fire and then retreated, being greatly outnumbered. The blacks after firing the fatal shots took to their heels. PEACE OUTLOOK MORE FAVORABLE Amicable Adjustment of Knotty. Issues Now Seems Quite Probable. A CHANGE IN SITUATION PREPARATIONS FOR THE LANDING' OF ARMED FORCES IN CUBA CONTINUES HOWEVER WAR DEPARTMENT ACTIVITY. Washington, tvL 21. The pacific tone of disratches from Havana had a favorable effect upon ths military and naval officials, and there was a marked change in their attitude from Saturday, when it was thought that intervention was near at hand. The prospect cf an amicable adjustment of the issues between the Palma government and the insurgents, however,' does not deter the officials here from continuing the preparation which they have been making to land forces in Cuba if it becomes necessary. The naval collier Leonidas at Lambert's Point and the Hannibal at Newport News will sail in the course of a day or two for Havana loaded with coal for the American naval vessels now in that harbor, and with the dispatch of these colliers it is said the naval officials feel that all that can be done by the navy at this stage in preparation for eventualities will have been accomplished. Brigadier General Crozier, chief of ordnance, has returned to Washington after a visit to several of the larg?r eastern arsenals. He would not admit that his trip had any connection wilh the Cuban situation, but he did say that his department was now thoroughly prepared to meet any call if operations in that country should b"? necessary. The same is true of tb.3 commissary and quartermaster's d?partment: In the case of the forme; It being said there was'no apprehen sion of a shortage of food supplies. r. arrangements have been made for oh taining any quantity likely to L needed. Open Dcor In Cuba. Paris. Spt. 24. The intimation? contained in dispatches from London to the continental press to the effec that the powers are about to engasr? in negotiations with the view of taking united action to induce the Unitei States to recognize the principles of the pen door in Cuba in the event of an American protectorate or the annexation of the island -finds no shadow of confirmation here. On the contrary, the foreign office declares specifically that nothing cf the sort has been suggested from any quarter. The government of Franc assumes that the United St3tes is acting in perfect good faith and with the sole object of restoring order. ,

On Saturday the College Will Get Some Munificent Gifts From Wealthy Members of The Church.

NATURE OF DONATIONS , ARE NOT MADE PUBLIC Contention About Doctrine of Rev. 0. M. Frazer Will i Probably Not Come up He is Called to New Castle. Saturday of this week will in some respects be the most important day of the Indiana Yearly Meeting. At that time the report of President Robt. L. Kelly, of Earlham College will be read and there is every reason to believe that liberal gifts will be made to the institution. The nature of these gifts have not been made known. President Kelly - was asked yesterday if it were not true that the college would profit largely at this season of the Yearly Meeting. He smiled and said it w-ould pay the members of the press to attend Sat urday's meeting as they would pro bably get some interesting news. "There is a great deal of "enthus iasm being manifested by members of the Yearly Meeting in Earlham just now," he continued, "on account of the progress she is making. The new library and a gift of a new dor mitory have tended to make the friends of the college take added in terest in It." Gifts Made Two Years Ago. Two years ago the standing debt of Earlham was liquidatl by money raised in the church following the president's report. This year the report will be the most favorable ever made and it is very likely- that money will be forthcoming in proportion. Perhaps the Yearly Indiana Meeting takes greater interest . in . Earlham than the Western Yearly Meeting, notwithstanding that- both have an equal share in the management of its affairs. The Western Yearly Meeting takes great pride in the fact that they have furnished Earlham's four presidents.' Several visitors arrived here yes terday to attend the Meeting. Full provisions has been made for their entertainment. l hey will receive entertainment at the homes of the different local members of the church, while meals will be served in the basement of the East Main Street Friends church where all sessions, with the exception of the meeting of the evangelistic committee, will be held. The session of this committee will be held in the South 8th Street Friends' church. Frazer Called to New Castle. The Yearly Meeting will perhaps entirely ignore the charges made some time ago by the pastoral comm';titVe of tjie WhMewater crlrch against the Rev. Oliver M. Frazer. On the ground that his doctrine was unsound, he was not asked to return to the Whitewater Friends', church by the committee. The Rev. Mr. Frazer was exonerated of all charges at the local Quarterly Meeting and yesterday he accepted a call to the Friends Church at New Castle, thus indicating that ne is in the very best of standing in the church. The Rev. Mr. Frazer said yesterday that he knew of no reason why his case should be discussed further by the church. As far as he is concerned he will drop the matter. He bears , the pastoral committee at the Whitewater church no ill feeling, although many trunk that he has grounds for calling for an explanation of their conduct before the Yearly Meeting. The Rev. Mr. Frazer will remain a student "at Earlham College this year and carry on his work in New Castle as' well.

FINE OPENING AT , . EARLHAM COLLEGE Attendance is Larger Than Ever Before on the First Day of School. . LIBRARY SITE ANNOUNCED CARNEGIE BUILDING WILL BE EAST OF MEN'S WALK, DIRECTLY pPPOSITE LINDLEY HALLPLANS NOT YET ADOPTED. Marked by a larger atendance than ever before'on the first da" Earlham College opened for the fart term of school yesterday. Everything points to an ususually good year, and when this statement is made, it means more than the' usual comment which comes at this time of the year. There was a greater demand 'for rooms in the dormitory yesterday than there ever has been, in fact, all students who desired to, could not -get rooms in the "dorm". More rooms too in homes near the school have been engirged than in other.years. There were two noticable points in the work' signed for by students yesterday. More registered in the civil engineering department than in former terms, while many took work in the new manual training department, which Prof. Morrison has established. There are good reasons for this. Many Earlham students have recently secured good positions on large railroads, and , with other corporations as the result of their training under Prof. R. L. Sackett. the demand too is increasing for such students. To students who are taking work in his department,; Prof. Sackett' has recommended tne work under Prof. Morrison and hence the great interest in the new; department. The site of the new library building Was announced yesterday. The building is to be directly opposite Lindley- Hall and just east of the men's walk. Its entrance will be on a line with the entrance of Lindley. Between the library and Parry Hall the Bundy Dormitory will be erected. It has been hoped that ground could be broken for the library this fall but this may not lie possible as the plans for it,.have not yet been lully determined. Drifmeyer's Heavy Fine.

Isador Mautner, of Ft. Wayne is Organizing Circuit to Include Some Towns Now in Central League..

CLARENCE JESSUP BACK OF. LOCAL BALL CLUB He Has Signed Ten Fast Players for Coming Season and Can Secure Ground for an Up To Date Ball Park. If the plans of Isaflor Mautnfrr, prominent baseball magnate of Fort Wayne and Clarence Jessup carry, Richmond next season will be in the best baseball league thaV- has ever been organized in thia state. Mr. Mautner who organized the present Central,. League and the defunct Interstate, League has reason to believe, as h;tve many other baseball men that th Central League will not be in existence next season. If this be true Mautner intends to take some of the clubs now in the Central League and w ith other cities In this state and just across the Ohio line, form a new league. It is to Wr of eight clubs. Mautner is very enthusiastic over his project and has written Clarence Jessup four letters 'about it. He will be here the latter part of. this month or the first of ne"xt to feel the pulse of Richmond business men and baseball fans. , , , The Cities In Circuit. ; The cities from which Mautner will form his league are: Fort Wayne, South Bend. Terre Haute, EvnnsvMe, Hamilton, Springfield, Dayton, Muncie, Anderson, Vincennes and Rich- 1 mond. He has, communicated with baseball men In all these cities, and has his organization well under way. The present Central League has not made money this year on account of the long jumps that many of the teams have to make, Mautener's pro-, posed circuit includes cities which can support minor league ball and which are so situated that the trips of the team would not le so expensive as to eat up all the profits. . Jessup Has Signed Players. Mr. Jessup, who returned horn from Saginaw Michigan last week has 'personal contracts - with ten fast ball players for next season. These men and some more whom Jessup .intends . to sign will' play wherever he does. Jessup said last night that he already had promise of financial support to the extent of $2,500 and he can secure a ground suitable " to be mado into a first class ball park. .Jessup is rather 'reluctant about Investing much money In baseball, however, unless assurred that he can play Sunday ball, and in some way charge for it. He believes that week day ball, with' the games beginning at 3: 30, in a park- where business and shop men could reach it easily would not bo a losing proposition, while with tl Sunday receipts added to it, the game would pay quite well. Jessup is very enthusiastic over the prospects " for the, new league, and feels confident that Richmond will be in it. Richmond people interested In baseball know of no one they would rather see behind league baseball in this city than Clarence Jessup, While those not interested in the sport would perhaps rather trust the management of the team to him than any other person, on account of the excellent rec ord he has made as a manager and true sportsman, both in baseball and polo.
