Author of Platform Dissects
Seven Objections.
WHY COURTS DEFENDED
Democratic Attack in 1896 Made It
Necessary Injunction Flank Is
Declared Brave Stand for
What Is Right.
COLUMBUS, O., June 22. Attorney-
General Wade H. Ellis, who mu a mem
ber of the resolutions committee of the
Republican National Convention, and
chief author of the platform adopted, in
a statement tonight replies to criticisms
of the platform made by William J.
Bryan, and denies emphatically that the
draft of the platform as published be
fore the convention was changed "with
the Jntention to displease or disappoint
the President or Secretary Taft." The
Attorney-General's statement, in part, fol
lows: "Of the seven omissions he (Mr. Bryan)
refers to, six are in no sense issues be
fore the people at this time, nor has there
been any attempt to make them such by
the administration, nor by any influ
ential element in the party. The seventh
concerns injunctions. Upon this subject,
Mr. . Bryan's eriticlsm exhibits his usual
recklessness of statement and his readl-
ness to assume that his own lack of in
formation might be the prevailing: condi
tion. Clear Statement of Position.
"The charge that the Republican decla
ration with respect to the use of the
writ of Injunctions was designed tS 'de
ceive the laboring men Is unworthy of a
candidate for the Presidency, and the
further charge that this plank merely
declares the existing law and will give
no relief In those cases tn which . there
has been an abuse of discretion or the
apprehension of it. is unworthy of any
lawyer who has examined this question.
The anti-Injunction resolution Is a frank,
clear statement of the Republican party's
position on a quastion on which others
have been attempting to deceive labor.
Remove .Cause of Complaint.
The so)e-raeie of any rational com
plaint -tfs to tn issuance of injunctions
in labor cases has been the use of the
' writ without notice and the long delays
in some instances which have intervened
before a hearing of the case. The pres
, ent statute does not require any notice
at all before the granting of a temporary
order, and it is entirely within the dis
cretion of the court to postpone the ques
tion on an injunction. The Republican
plank simply declares that notice shall
always be given unless an irreparable In
Jury will result from delay and in that
case there shall be a speedy hearing pro
vided. In other words, the platform dec
laration Is designed to give assurance
that what is now the general practice
in the Federal Courts Bhall be made uni
versal by statute, in order that here
after no cause of complaint or misap
prehension shall remain.
This may not satisfy the extremists on
either hand, but it was not expected to
do that. It will meet the approval of
every right-thinking man, whether an
employer or an employe. No party can
lose by bravely taking a stand for what
is right, whoever complains, just as none
can profit by taking a stand for what
is wrong, whoever applauds.
Resent Attack on Courts.
"Mr. Bryan objects further to the
phrase in the injunction plank which pro
claims confidence in .the integrity of the
courts. It is true, perhaps, that the con
vention which is yet to meet at Denver,
rather than that which has just ad
journed at Chicago, should express faith
In the integrity of the courts; but in
view of the Democratic attack in 1S96
and the fact that .the 'same forces which
' then controlled that party are once again
in supreme command, it would seem en
tirely appropriate for the Republican
party not only to remove any possible
cause of complaint in the use of the writ
of Injunction, but to make It clear that
It resents again, as it did In 1S96, any
attempt to assault the Judiciary.
"All that anyone wants is that the
powers of the Federal courts with re
spect to the use of the injunction shall
be accurately defined by statute, to the
end that all occasion for complaint in
labor cases, which happily have been few
in the past, shall disappear altogether
in the future. The Republican plank
points to a simple and straightforward
way of achieving this purpose."

NINE NEGROES ARE LYNCHED
Bloody Revenge for Assas
sination of Two Whites.
FIVE HANGED TOGETHER
One Shot Dead While Attempting
Escape Three Others Killed and
' Two Hurried Away for Safety.
Both- Races Are Armed.
HOUSTON, Tex., June 22. Nine ne
groes met death last night at the hands
of a mob in the vicinity of Hemphill, in-
Sablne County. Today both races secured
arms and the tension is such tonight that
a race clash appears Imminent.
The dead:
Jerry Evans, aged 22.
Will Johnson, aged 24.
Mose Spillman, aged 24. i
Cleveland Williams, aged 27.
William Manuel, aged 25.
Frank Williams, aged 22.
Two unknown men.
William McCoy.
The lynchings followed the killing of
two white men by negores. Two'
weeks ago Hugh Dean and several
other white men visited a negro church
and schoolbouse, where a dance was in
progress, presumably in quest of
liquor, it being the custom of some of
the negroes to sell whisky during the
progress of such affairs. During the
evening Dean was killed and six ne
groes were held for the killing.
At the preliminary examination evi
dence tending to show that the plot
was planned at the dance to kill Dean
was produced. Saturday laet Aaron
Johnson, a prominent farmer, was as
sassinated while seated at the dlnlng
table with his wife and child, the bul
let being' fired through 'a window. For
this crime Perry Prjce, a negro, was
arrested and, it is stated, confessed. Im
plicating Robert Wright, a relative of
one of the negroes held for Dean's
murder. Price declared he was offered
tB to kill Johnson.
Then followed the forming of a mob
last night, the overpowering of the jailer
at Hemphill andm the lynching of the six
negroes held for the murder of Dean.
Five were hanged to the same tree, while
another attempted to escape and was
shot to death. '
Later In the night WIlliamMcCoy, an
other negro, was shot and killed while
standing at the gate of the Johnson
home, and this morning the bodies of
two more negroes were found In the
creek bottom. Wright, the negro who
confessed to the killing of Johnson, and
the man Implicated were taken to Beau
mont for safekeeping under guard of the
military company of St. Augustine.
Sabine County is situated in the most
remote part of the eastern section of the
state, with sparse railroad and telephone
facilities.

Statement Republican "Sure He Will Support

Says Offer of $1,000,000 Campaign
Fund Sounds Well Insists
on First Place.
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., June 22. (Spe
cial.) "That sounds like a most excel
lent proposition," said Governor Johnson
laughingly this morning, speaking of the
offer of Thomas W. Lawson, of Boston,
to raise a $1,000,000 campaign fund for a
ticket with Johnson for President and
Bryan for Vice-President.
"Yes. I think we will have to stand
for it," continued the Governor evidently
greatly amused at the proposition. "It
sounds all right, and we are perfectly
willing to agree to It."
But that was as far as the Democratic
possibility for Presidency would go. He
treated the matter In a joking manner,
and while frankly admitting that such a
scheme would please him immensely,
would not say whether or not Mr. Law
son, or any one acting for him, had ac
tually proposed the plan to him.
Governor Jolmson will not allow his
name to be used as the Vice-Presidential
candidate of the Democratic party. This
announcement was made authoritatively
today at the Johnson headquarters.
Frederick B. Llnch, who has had charge
Of the Governor's campaign for the Presi
dential nomination from the outset, said
that not only would the Governor not be
a candidate for nomination for the seo
ond place on the ticket, but that if the
convention persisted in nominating him,
as had been threatened, he would decline
to make the race, making it devolve on
the Democratic National Committee to nil
the vacancy.
Republican leaders remarked that Mr.
Johnson's determination not to serve aa
a running mate for Mr. "Bryan, even if
drafted by his party, Indicated the kind
of harmony existing In the Democratic
ranks.
The Johnson managers continue to
boom their candidate for the head of the
ticket, asserting that they still hope
enough delegates Instructed for Bryan
will break their instructions and go to
Johnson to nominate the Minnesotan.

sequence in that section of the city was
destroyed, including the postofflce, the
city hall, every hotel worthy of the name
with one exception, the fine building of
the Hocheiaga Bank and most all of the
leading stores.' Over 300 buildings were
burned.
The narrow streets of the town and the
Inflammable nature of many buildings
rendered the task of the firemen an al
most impossible one. Outside the town
Is located the camp of the sixth military
district and soon after the fire started a
thousand men were sent to help fight the
flames. The local brigade was entirely
ineffective when it came to coping with
a conflagration and the soldiers rendered
the best assistance they could, but their
bucket brigade was not equal to the task.
The loss will be considerably over $1,
000.000. So far no loss of life has been
reported, but a woman and two children
are reported to have been badly burned.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 22. Walter J.
Bartnett, ex-vice-president of the sus
pended California Safe Deposit & Trust
Company and administrator of the es
tate of Mrs. Ellen M. Colton, this after
noon was found guilty of embezzling
curities and , bonds owned by the estato
to the value of $31,700. The Jury was out
less than 50 minutes and reached a ver
dict on the first ballot. Bartnett was
recommended to the mercy of the court
and Judge Conley fixed 10 A. M., June 30,
aa the time for pronouncing sentence.
Calls Bartnett Coward.
The greater part of the day was oc
cupied with the closing arguments of
the prosecution and defense. Assistant
District Attorney William Hoff Cook
spoke for the people during the morn
ing and was followed by Oscar Cooper for
Bartnett. James B. Geary made the
principal argument for Bartnett in the
afternoon and Mr. Cook closed.
At the outset of his argument Mr. Cook
Informed the jury that the second count
in the indictment, charging Bartnett with
embezzlement as bailee, had not been
proved, as Bartnett did not himself steal
the money. Mr. Cook pictured Bartnett
as a coward, who carried on his ne
farious dealings behind J. Dalzell Brown
and his own brother-in-law, James Tread
well. The main attempt of the attorneys for
the defense was to place the blamo on
Brown, the convicted manager of the in

Judge Conley concluded his charge at 9
o'clock and the jury retired a few min
utes later. It had been out but 20 min
utes when it sent into court for the let
ters written by Bartnett to J. Dalzell
Brown in New York. As some portions
of the letters were not admitted In evi

tracts, and ten minutes were required
to do the work. When the Jurors re
ceived the required evidence, deliberation
was resumed and it was but a short tima

that the Jury found Bartnett guilty on
