Troops Jeered While Escorting Negro Suspect Out of Town. QUENCHED In CAIRO RIOT UNHEARD BY MAYOR Ciij's Head Says He Slept Through Entire Wild Night Coroner's Jury Fails to Fix Blame. Town Grows Calmer. CAIRO. II!.. Nov. 13. With the negro, Arthur Alexander, last of those arrested in connection with the murder here last Wednesday of Mies Anna Pelley, safe out of town and a regiment of the Illinois National Guard on duty In the town, the mob spirit which has held Cairo for four d&vs deems auelied. " Every known danger point is occupied by troops. Alexander, reported to have been im plicated in the murder of Miss Pelley by the negro James, one of the victims of last night's mob. was sent to an un announced point north of here late this afternoon. He was escorted from the jail to a special train by seven companies of militia. There were Jeers of defiance for the militia from the small crowd that wit nessed the departure That's him!" He'll come back!' "Burn the nigger!" and "We'll get him yet!" came, from the spectators. Troops Keep Back Mob. Turn ett of fours were in advance of the. prisoner, who was handcuffed and flanked by Deputy Snenns. two seis of fours followed. As the troopers awumr north toward the railroad, along Twentieth street, three companies cleared the Btreet in advance or me ee cort and a like number followed in the rear, keeping back the crowds. General Wells and Colonel R. Shand and the Attorney-General's office refused to tell of the plans for the safekeeping of the prisoner. "He will not be taken to Springfield and when he Is taken off the train he will be at some point far enough, north to prevent any attempt at recapture by a mob from this section," said Colonel Ehand. The local authorities left the disposition of the prisoner to the state, and turned their attention to the murder of Miss Pelley and the riots last night. Blame Xot Placed. . Coroner's verdicts were rendered on both the men lynched, in each case the Jury finding "that he came to his death by Injuries at the hands of persons un known to us." Early in the day Sheriff Davie told of recognizing several memoers or me moo that took James from his care last night. He named Mr. Logan, of Cairo, as one of these. What steps will taken to bring those Implicated in the uprising to trial has not been determined. Mayor Parsons said he was asleep and heard no shot or other sound to indicate that the city was in the hands of a mob. "I am ready to do everything1 that my office -requires," said State's Attorney Wilson. "The question of calling a spe cial grand Jury is one to be decided by i Judge W. N. Butler, of the State Circuit Court. "We shall have a regular grand Jury when court convenes here in December, and I shall present to it any evidence that comes Into my possession before that time. I don't expect to correct that evidence myself, as detective work Is not part of my duties." The only ground for holding Alex ander was declared to be the dying confession of James. None of the offi cials would acknowledge that any evi dence of this alleged confession had come to him. In an effort to clear up the mur der case, the police searched the house occupied by James and Alexander for the missing money, handbag and brace lets of the murdered girl. They found nothing. "A whole regiment of soldiers could not have stopped the work of last night's mob," declared Mayor Parsons, and Sheriff Davis echoed this senti ment, adding: "There would have been wholesale bloodshed had soldiers been here last night." Sheriff Flees In Vain. Sheriff Davie today told his story of the manner in which James had been taken from him. After detailing his wan derings in the woods of Union County after he had left the train at Dongola, he told of leaving James in charge of the Deputy Sheriff, while he went to Karnak to obtain provisions. "The postmaster at Karnak. who is also a storekeeper, there recognized me." said Davie. "Because of this we made a detour through the woods about the town and walked east five miles to Belknap, where we struck through the woods until the water drove us to the railroad track. 'We entered a house to rest, but were warned by a citizen of Belknap that a crowd had left Cairo to Intercept us. So we took to the country again, walking across the corn fields for a couple of miles. "The whistling of the train warned us that the crowd bad reached Belknap. We lay down In some tall weeds to con ceal ourselves, but in a few minutes a scouting party passed. "A few minutes later another party went by, one of whom I recognized as the Karnack Postmaster. He was carrying a gun. The next party numbered five and one of thera mounted a stump and saw us. He fired several shots in the air. and a crowd began to gather. One of the party was Mr. Logan, of Cairo, and I appealed to him to see that no vio lence was committed. "He assured me that all they asked was that James be taken back to Cairo and given a speedy trial. I promised them that this was to be dene and they started us toward the train. "In the train I seated myself beside the prisoner, but as we entered Cairo someone threw a rope around James' neck. Confession Xot Heard. "I at once 'took It off and was struck several blows by members of the party. Others caught the end of the rope and dragged James from the train. I heard no confession from James." ! The entire Fourth Regiment of the Illinois National Guard was on duty to night. Besides the two companies that sreompanied Alexander north, there were nine commands in the city. IHst-ussion of events of last night cen ters about the condition that brought mob rule to the city, local politics was generally blamed foil failures of courts to convict and in some Instances there were charges that the police had been lax.

GOMPERS SHUNS DEBATE President Is Trying to Keep Liquor Controversy Out of Convention. Leader Has Abiding Faith I in Justice of Courts. TORONTO, Ont., Nov. 12. During the five days the American Federation of Labor convention haa been in session here there has been much suppressed speculation as to the attitude it might take on the question of labor and the saloon. When It was announced! early in the week that the temperance mass meeting would be held Sunday under the auspices of the labor department of the Presby terian Church, delegates representing the International Union of the United Brew ery Workers, the Hotel and Restaurant Employes' International Alliance and the Bartenders' International League of America began to canvass the situation to ascertain whether the liquor question would reach the floor of the convention. Preacher Joins Union Rnaks. The Rev. Charles Stelzle, a fraternal delegate from the Federal Council of the Churches of Christian Africa, has been advocating a temperance brotherhood among the trades unions and will pre side at the Sunday meeting. It is understood President Gompers Is anxious to avoid a debate on the liquor question and he was instrumental today in bringing about a meeting between Jere L. Sullivan, representing the Bartenders' Union, and Rev. Mr. Stelzle. who gave Mr. Sullivan to understand that hta plans contemplated an attempt to stop the holding of labor meettmgs in Dactt rooms of saloons. President Gompers, It Is said, agreed to lend his support to a resolution urging the erection of labor temples, and other places for holding meetings. Gompers Believes in Courts. "Either we have the. right of free speech and a free press, or we have not, and we want the court to say so. Wheth er we will go to jail. I do not know." Samuel Gompers thus expressed himself ln telling the Federation convention the status of the contempt proceedings under which he, Vice-President Mitchell and Secretary Morrison have been sentenced to terms in Jail. Mr. GoniDers said there were threa ways in which the case could reach the Supreme Court of the United States bv a writ of error, by a writ of certiorari. or by a writ of habeas corpus, after the defendants have been placed ln Jail. 'I have an abiding faith in the Justice of our country," Mr. Gompers continued, 'and I can only express the hope that the higher court of our land will Im mortalize themselves by the reincarna tion of the Magna Charta and the Con stitution of the United States."
