ment given out by Governor Dfneen this
evening. As further precaution, all busi
ness establishments in the city closed to
night at 9 o'clock. The saloons and liquor
stores have "not been open elnce before
mldnteht Friday.
So strict were the regulations for keep
ing the people off tho street, that the
Mayor caused a postponement of the
opening performance of A Broken Idol."
a new musical opera which was to have
been presented by the Whitney. Musical
Company, of Chicago. One of the num
. bers in the performance entailed the ap
pearance of white men in the guise of
negroes and it was largely on this ac
count that the Mayor took this action.
Another Wounded Man Dies.
One death "was recorded today as a re
sult of the riots. John Caldwell, who was a
spectator of the fighting in East Spring
field, died In a hospital from the effects
of a bullet wound in the stomach. His
death brought the total up to three, the
other victims being Louis Johnson, who
was killed when Loper's restaurant was
wrecked, and Scott Burton, an aged ne
gro, who was lynched at Twelfth and
Madison streets early this morning. Of
the wounded, Frank Delmore and Theo
dore Scott, both of whom were shot
through the lungs, are not expected to
live through the night. William Bowe
has a fighting chance for life, according
to the physicians. The other seriously In
jured persons are as follows: ' ,

Governor Relieves Xegroes.
All day timid negroes have been leav
ing the city with their families and such
possessions as they could hurriedly pack.
This exodus took place despite the as
surance of the Governor that full pro
tection would be afforded to those who
remained in their homes. The Governor
also took steps to alleviate the distress
of the families whose homes or places of
business were destroyed by the mob. A
refugee camp was established at Camp
Lincoln, and Companies D and H of the
Fifth Regiment were sent to guard it.
About three score persons were In the
camp tonight.
Loper i'lees to. Michigan.
Harry Loper, whose restaurant- was
wrecked after he had assisted the Sheriff
In spiriting away two negro prisoners
from the jail, .left lte today for a resort
In Michigan. He took the members of his
family with him, but refused to disclose
tneir destination. Mr. Loper, in common
with other property-owners who sufferer!
loss at the hands of the mob. was notified
by the insurance companies today that all
policies were rendered void by the riot.
Under the statutes the city and county
are each responsible for the property
losses and special assessments will be
levied to cover the damages.
Mr. Loper said of the riot:
"I Tiave been through one riot, in
Cincinnati In lSvl, the greatest in this
countrv. when 110 men were killed It'
was to avoid loss of life that I took
those men out of town. I did not favor
the men; I have no interest In them
whatever, "and would go just as far to
punish them as anybody, but after going
through the Cincinnati riot, and knowing
this Sheriff as I do, I knew he would be
killed first before he would let the jail be
taken. I thought I would save lives by
removing the colored men.
"I would not shoot a single man to
protect my place, and I only shot when
I thought I was In danger. I would not
kill a single man to save my place."
The scene of the riot is within half a
mile of the old homestead of Abraham
Lincoln, the Mnly residence ever owned
by the martyred President. The house
Is now the property of the state. A
monument there marks the grave of the
emancipator and a statue of him stands
In the Capitol.
Lynching at Karly Morn.
The most serious part of the rioting
came shortly before daybreak. At 3
o'clock the mob cornered Seott Burton,
a negro, at Twelfth and Madison streets,
end lynched him there. Some of the
members of the mob declared that the
negro lynched had shot three men. The
regro was forced Into a comer at the
corner at Twelfth and Madison streets,
when his retreat was cut off. He there
upon opened fire, wounding two men.
Then came the cry, "Get the rope." The
negro was caught and dragged to the
street, where he was beaten, and then
a rope swung around his neck and the
other end thrown over the limb of a tree
and the negro wm dead in a few min
utes. Many shots were fired at the body.
Volley Disperses Mob.
Just then Company M. Fifth Infan
try, arrived. Two volleys were fired
over the heads of the lynchers. The
order was gMven to disperse the crowd.
With reluctance some of the rioters be
gan to back away. But the mob
showed fight. Colonel Frank P.. Wells
ordered the company to charge the
crowd. During the tight that followed
two men were shot by the troops.
They were Mike Lucey . and Charles
Wolf, both shot In the leg. The lynch
ing was illuminated by the flames of
a burning building directly opposite.
Every building in that vicinity, with
the exception of the United States Gyp
sum Company's warehouse and one or
two others, were burned, and the lynch
ing took place In the midst of this
scene of havoc. The rope used was a
short one. and the body of the negro
was not pulled more than five feet off
the ground. As the body went up, the
crowd shouted: .
"We've got one. Hurrah!"
"Look at the nigger swing!"
The cheering continued for some
time. Sheriff Warner cut the body
down at 3:30 A. M. There were 40
bulletholes In the body.
Almost Killed by Xegroes.
W. H. Bowe, chief clerk in the County
Treasurer s office, was wounded In an
other fight which took place at Four
teenth and Madison streets, three blocks
from the scene of the lynching. He was
set upon by a number of negroes, one of
whom shot him through the body. He
was then robbed and beaten and would
have been killed had not one of the
negroes recognized him and persuaded
the others to desist. An operation was
performed on Mr. Bowe this morning.
Chafin's Bluff Works. -
Eugene W. Chafin, Presidential nominee
of the Prohibition party, who was struck
by a piece of brick when he attempted to
shield a negro from the mob, left here
this morning. His injury was slight. Mr.
Chafin was addressing a meeting on the
public square last night, when a negro
pursued by a mob came toward the
speaker's stand from Fifth and Wash
ington streets, where he had been pulled
from a streetcar.
The crowd closed in on the negro, beat
ing him with their fists and clubs. He
finally got away and jumped on the plat
form. It was at this point that Mr.
Chafin stepped to the front of the mob,
put his hand to his hip pocket and
threatened to shoot any one who touched
the negro. Some person In the mob threw"
a brick which hit Mr. Chafin on the left
side of the face. Mr. Chafin's threat had
the desired effect, althoueh he had no
weapon. During the fight the negro
pulled a knife from his pocket and
slashed several white men. Mr. Chafin
was not seriously injured.
At Fourteenth and Reynolds street, a
negro was attacked this morning by sev
eral white men, after a discussion of last
night's affray. Members of the Clinton
company of militia rescued the negro by
forming a hollow square and conduct
ing him to the jail.
MANY MOBS WERE AT WORK
Eye-Witness Describes Sacking of
Loper's Restaurant.
CHICAGO. Aug. 5. "It was not a ques
tion of one mob, but of many mobs, ap
parently without organized leadership, but
acting in such instinctive unison that the
police and firemen were absolutely power
less." said H. X. Hansen, general secre
tary of the Y. M. C. A., at Springfield,
who arrived in Chicago this morning, after
having witnessed the tragic scenes in
Springfield last night. Mr. Hansen was
prevented from taking an expected train
out of that city by fire, started by mem
bers of the mob.
"I was down town when the rioting be
gan," said Mr. Hansen. "There had been
mutterings all the evening, and when, at
8 o'clock, the mob learned that the ac
cused negroes had been taken from the
jail in Harry Loper's automobile, they
searched his restaurant, two blocks from
the City Hall. I stood across the street
and saw the wild rush for the front of
the building. Loper stood there with a
rifle in hts hands, but he did not fire, and
when bricks began to crash through the
plate-glass windows, he ran to the base
ment. A perfect hail of bricks and stones
demolished the windows, and I noticed
that women were taking an active part
in storming the place,
"The first person to enter the restau
rant after the windows were broken was
a woman, who teemed to be directing the
work of ' destruction. The furniture,
tables, chairs and crockery were smashed
and the fragments hurled into the street.
Then followed the burning of Loper's au
tomobile. Mayor Reece tried to disperse
the mob, but they would not listen to
him, and a brick struck him on the head.
He was saved from further Injury by
friends, who formed a guard about him
and fought their way into a near-by cigar
store. Meanwhile firemen who were try
ing to extinguish the blazing motor car
were being hindered by the mob. and the
lead of hose the firemen were trying to
use was repeatedly cut, until the fire
fighters were compelled to abandon the
tight."
OLD SOLDIER AS PEACEMAKER
Negro Preacher Who Led San Juan
Charge Calms "egroes.
PEORIA. 111., Aug. J 5. Rev. H.
Jameson, pastor of the African M. E.
Church, and the most influential col
ored man In Illinois, went to Springfield
today. All morning he was mixing with
his race in Peoria, calming them and
telling all that he would do his best
to settle the trouble when he reached
Springfield.
Mr. Jameson was the lender of the
colored troops which rushed up San
Juan Hill to the rescue of Roosevelt's
Rough Riders In the war with Spain,
and many of his old command, who are
now In Peoria, wanted to go to Spring
field with bim, but he refused them.
BARXl'M "& BAILEY REVIVE
STREET SPECTACLE.
Said to Be Three Times as Long as
Predecessors and Be Worth
Ten Times as Much.
The Barnum & Bailey Greatest Show on
Earth has Ttgaln established a parade as
a part of each morning's programme. It
will present In Portland August 25 and
26 a street spectacle different and far
superior to those of the past. It Is three
times the length of its predecessors and
represents ten times the capital invested.
The elimination, of the parade was
deemed advisable some years ago in view
of the policy of the management never to
repeat itself, and there being at that time
a scarcity of new attractions throughout
the world worthy of a place In the Bar
num and Bailey spectacle. The agents of
the" show, stationed in every country in
the world, were Instructed to keep an eye
open for novelties; artists, designers, prop
erty builders and mecflanics were set to
work at the foreign workshops of the
company at Stoke-on-Trent, England, the
aim In view being to create and build a
spectacle and costume it and people it
with the best and the most novel features
the world could supply.
The fruit of those labors and the ex
penliture of fortunes Is found in this sea
son's great parade. It has not the slight
eat resemblance to other parades. It ex
cels anything e-er attempted in its beauty
and Its variety. It is practically an ex
position of world wonders, presenting
every type of the human race, the strang
est of animals In open dens, the crude
vehicles of the semi-civilized Orientals
and the barbarians of savage lands, the
great chariots, howdahs and wagons of
state of rich empires, fanciful floats of
war. grotesque Images of the pagan, statu
ary from Italy, mythological panaromas
and barbarian tom-tom corps. Oriental
reed orchestras, military bands, organs
a-nd chimes.
The tapestry and throne rugs used were
woven In Persia and Turkey, the costumes
were made in France, the laces, scarfs,
flags and banners are from the looms of
China and the animal dens and wagons
were made in Germany. The parade em
ploys 1500 men, women and children, 700
horses, a host of camels and nearly all
the elephants in captivity.
And the performance, likewise. Is on a
grander scale. It is European In make
up, embracing the novelties that have re
cently appeared abroad. The bill opens
with a new and elaborate spectacle and
the acts that follow take place m three
rings, on two stages, in the great dome
and on the spacious hippodrome course.
The feature of the circus Is the dual
automobile somersault act with the name
"Autos that Pass in the Air." It reaches
a point of daring that Is beyond under
standing, and more wonderful still, the
act is performed by two mere girls. The
automobile which is In the rear at the
start completely encircles the other as
they are leaping a gap and lands In front
of the other on a, narrow, short ground
platform.

STORY OF RIOTS
Deneen Denounces Attack on
Negroes and Pledges

ONE NEGRO IS LYNCHED
Killed While Defending Home and
Hanged to Lamp-Post I'se En
tire Resources of State to
Protect Ali Citizens.
SPRINGFIELD, 111., Aug. 15. Gov
ernor Deneen this afternoon Issued the
following statement:
"The trouble at Springfield arose out
of an assault upon a white woman by
a negro named George Richardson,
who. it is alleged, entered the home at
midnight. August 13, choked her, car
ried her to the backyard and assaulted
her. during the absence of her husband,
who was a conductor on the street rail
way ther.e- About six weeks ago an
other colored man named Joe James
was found in he daughter's bwiroom
of the home ,of another conductor of
the street railway company on (he re
turn of the family from a social en
gagement, and after the discovery and
struggle to escape, killed the father.
First Revenge on Loper.
"Fearing trouble the Sheriff, yester
day afternoon, induced the proprietor
of "one of the principal restaurants, Mr.
Loper, to take the prisoners and the
Sheriff in his automobile to the out
skirts of the city, and to transfer Rich
ardson and the other person referred to
to Bloomtngton, about 60 miles' north
of Springfield.
"There was some uneasy feeling
among certain classes at Springfield
yesterday, but it was presumed that
knowledge of the transfer of the pris
oners to the jail of another county
would end the trouble. A large crowd
gathered at the Jail in the evening,
and there learned that Mr. Loper had
furnished the automobile with which
the prisoners were transferred. They
went over to his restaurant, demolished
the plateglass and furniture, sacked
the restaurant of its liquors and turned
the proprietor's automobile upside
down and set it on fire.
Sack Xefiro Quarter. .
"The crowd then moved east on
Washington street to the qaurter of
the city which is largely populated by
colored people and known as the levee.
Here they sacked the stores owned by
colored persons and one pawnshop.
They also burned a number of houses,
estimated at between 20 and 50. Only
such were burned as were occupied by
colored people.
"Negroes on the street were assault
ed and one was killed and later was
hanged to a lamp post. The negro was
killed while trying to protect bis home
from Incendiaries, and had gone to the
front door and shot into the crowd. As
reported tn the newspapers, the killed
number three and the injured 58.
State Will Protect Negroes.
"This morning at 2 o'clock I issued
a public statement to the effect that
the colored families who had been
driven from their homes would be
cared for at Camp Lincoln. The soldiers
are erecting tents there now, and all
who are In fear of danger will be ac
commodated at that place and guarded
by the soldiers.
"We are prepared to meet any fur
ther trouble that may arise. A few
assaults have .been made "during the
day, but have not been serious. The
community, however, Is in a state of
unrest.
"It is intolerable, as it is inexcus
able. The Idea of wreaking vengeance
on a race for the crimes of one of Jts
members Is utterly repugnant to all
notions of law an justice. Our state
will not permit iu The entire resources
of the state will be drawn upon, if nec
essary, to protect every citizen of
Springfield in his person and property,
and those who violate the law must
suffer the consequences."

BLOOMINGTON, 111., Aug. 15. Rich
ardson and James, the colored men
brought from Springfield last night to
escape lynching, are still In Jail here,
occupying separate cells, and nobody
has been allowed to see them. To avoid
the possibility of pursuit from Spring

had been transferred to Peoria, and
the officials here still persist in the
story. There has been no excitement
here.
BRUISES ARE HIS REWARDS
Parisian Magistrate Investigates
Fake Suicide to His Sorrow.
PARIS, Aug. IB. (Special.) A young,
pretty and trimly-attired female rushed
panting into the office of a Police Corn
missionary. "Come as fast as you can,
monsieur. My husband has Just killed
himself, "she cried, as soon as she had
recovered her breath. Then she exhibited
a missive In which, after numerous pro
testations of affection, her husband had
written: "When this letter reaches you,
I shall be a corpse. Tell the Commis
sionary, and excuse me for the trouble
that I shall give him."
The official, accompanied by his secre
tary, set off without a moment's delay
for the dwelling of the couple. The door
of the bedchamber was locked,, and a
man had to be sent for to open it. But
the Commissionary soon noticed that, al
though a charcoal pan was much In evid
ence, the atmosphere was healthy. Ap
proaching the bed, he found the husband
not dead, but sleeping soundly. Closer
inspection revealed the fact that no at
tempt had been made to light the char
coal pan. nor had the official any par
ticular difficulty in divining the cause of
the deep sleej, as on the table at the bed
side was a rum bottle, quite empty.
He shook the man. and at last suc
ceeded In arousing him, but perhaps it
might have been wiser to have left him
to sleep on In peace, as, furious at
having been thus roughly awakened, he
sprang -up. seized a stick, and beat the
Commissionary until he was tired. He is
now in custody for outrage on a magis
trate. As for his wife, her feelings are of a
mingled character. She is overjoyed at
the discovery that her husband is still
alive, but her delight is shadowed by mis
givings as to the fate that awaits him,
since assault and battery of a magistrate
is a serious offense.

Squads From County Centra) Com
mittee Begin Brisk Work
Throughout County.
"Multnomah for Bryan and Kern," are
the watchwords of the Multnomah Demo
cratic County Central Committee, which
has inaugurated an aggressive campaign
for its Presidential candidates. Every
precinct Is being organized, through the
personal efforts of County Chairman
George H. Thomas. The members of the
County Central Committee have been
divided into squads of from 12 to 18 each,
and meetings are held every night at
Democratic headquarters. Sixth and
Washington streets. At these conferences
the plans of the campaign are discussed
and a programme haa been devised for
enlisting the support of the Democratic
ticket by voters in every precinct in the
county.
Popular subscriptions of from 25 cents
up are being solicited by each precinct
committeeman, who Is supplied with a
subscription blank and a handful of re
ceipts. To those contributing to the fund,
which will be expended oaly to defray
the expenses of the Presidential cam
paign In this county, the committeeman
suggests that the receipts be preserved
as a souvenir of Bryan's third-term can
didacy, and for which his adherents pro
fess to see only a successful termination.
"Although our work of organizing the
county and soliciting funds for the cam
paign have only been inaugurated," said
Chairman Thomas last night, "we feel
very much encouraged with the substan
tial assistance and assurances of support
we are receiving from the voters. We
find this is particularly true of the labor
ing men. Another surprise has appeared
In the laree number of Republicans who
have declared that they will support the
Democratic nominees. We shall make an
earnest effort to carry Multnomah Coun
ty and the state for the Democratic tick
et, and actually believe that we shall be
successful."
