GOVERNOR ATCOCK OFFERS
ap FOB LYKCRERS
Four Hundred Dollars Each Will be Given For the
Salisbury Mob.
BIGGEST REWARD EVER HEARD OF IN STATE
Solicitor Hammer May
Names of Several.
THE GOVERNOR HAS BEEN MUCH WORRIED
He Appeals to All Thoughtful and
Law-Abiding People in the State to
Uphold His Hands in Suppressing
/
This Form of Lawlessness.
Governor Ayeock yesterday morning
issued a proclamation offering S4OO re
ward for the arrest and conviction of
each member of the mob that lynched
the two negro boys, Harrison and
James Gillespie, who were taken from
the jail at Salisbury on the morning of
June 11th and hanged without process
of law, for the murder of Miss Benson.
The proclamation is as follows:
Proclamation by the Governor
S4OO REWARD.
State of North Carolina,
Executive Department.
Whereas, official information has been
reeeived at this department that Harri
son and James Gillespie were lynched at
Salisburv about June 10, 1002, by parties
unknown.
And whereas, it appears that the said
parties unknown have fled the State, or
so concealed themselves that the ordi
nary process of law cannot be served
upon them;
Now, therefore, I, Charles B. Ayeock,
Governor of the State of North Caro
lina, by virtue of authority in me vested
by law, do issue this my proclamation, of
fering a reward of four hundred dollars
each for the apprehension and delivery of
the said parties unknown or any of them
to the sheriff of Rowan county at the
court house in Salisbury with evidence
sufficient to convict and a conviction,
and I do enjoin all officers of the State
and all good citizens to assist in bring
ing said criminals to justice.
Done at our City of Raleigh, the 18th
day of June, in the year of our Lord
one thousand nine hundred and two, and
in the one hundred and twenty-sixth year
of our American Independence.
CHARLES B. AYCOCK.
By the Governor:
P. \f. PEARSALL, Private Secretary.
As it has been estimated that there
were seventy-five persons in the mob, the
total reward offered amounts to $20,000.
This is an entirely unprecedented sum
for the chief executive to offer, and it
looks as if he wore determined to do
everything to the uttermost to arrest
those who flagrantly disregarded law
and order. This will lead to important
disclosures, if anything will.
The issuing of this proclamation was
about the first thing the Governor did
upon his return from Cooleemee yes
terday morning. Col. P. M. Pearsall,
the Governor's Secretary, drew up the
puper, and the Governor signed it.
Solicitor Hammer is now in Salisbury
and is at work on this case. He thinks
that lie has the names of several who
took part in the lynching, and when
further evidence against them is collect
ed arrests will follow. He expects to
go to the very bottom of this indefen
sible lynching.
Governor Ayeock has been very much
worried about the matter. The boys
charged with the murder were under ar
rest and in jail, with the certainty of a
speedy trial, and the crime for which
they were lynched was not the crime
for which lynching is ordinarily the
penalty in the South, and sometimes in
other parts of the country. How far
lynching will ~o and for what crimes it
will be practised cannot be determined.
It is a form of lawlessness which grows
and nothing can stop it but an enlight
ened public sentiment. The Governor
appeals to all thoughtful and law
abiding people in the State to uphold
his hands in suppressing it.
A gentleman from Salisbury yesterday
said that there was very grave doubt as
to the guilt of the younger of the two
negroes recently lynched at Salisbury.
He says that the parents of the two
boys affirmed all the time that the
younger boy was at home at the moment
of the commission of the crime, while
they readily agreed that the elder one
was from home. He states that the
younger hoy died protesting his inno
cence and singing, “I want to go to
Heaven when I die.” The Gentleman
making this statement is a man well
known in the State and has held respon
sible positions. He says moreover that
there was only one track at the scene
of the murder and this track correspond
ed with the track of the elder, and not
of the younger. If these >ta',tements
turn out to be true the lynching becomes
all the more horrible. It Is high time
for the public opinion of the State to
rise up and put a stop to this form of
lawlessness.

North Carolina Association. Action on
the Fowler Bill.
(By the Associated Press.)
Savannah, Ga., June 18. —The Inter
state Bankers’ Convention adjourned to
day after adopting a modified resolution
bearing on the Fowler Banking Bill.
The resolution regrets that Representa
tive Fowler could not be present to ex
plain the bill and continues:
“That while the said bill embraces
many admirable features, with the lights
before us we cannot endorse the same.
We recommend to the members of this
association that they give the bill care
ful study so that at the proper time and
season they will be prepared to give ex
pression to their conviction on the sub
ject.”
It was thought last night that the
Fowler bill would be condemned by
resolution. The abandonment of days of
grace on commercial paper was strongly
urged as was also in the repeal or revis
ion of the national bankruptcy law.

CANNON REPLIES TO RICHARDSON
The General Deficiency Measure, the Las? of
the Supply Bills, is Passed. A Speech
is Delivered by Mr, Shal
lenberger.
(By the Associated Press.)
Washington, June 18.—The near ap
proach of the end of the present session
of Congress was signalized by a general
political speech by Mr. Richardson
(Tenn.), the leader of the minority. Tak
ing advantage of the latitude allowed
during general debate on the General De
ficiency Bill he delivered a set speech
of an hour and a half. Mr. Shallcnberger
(Dem., Neb.), also made a political
speech.
Mr. Cannon, chairman of the Appro
priations Committee, in a brief reply to
both speeches, said he was ready to go
to the country on the record of the Re
publican party. Jn the course of some
remarks early in the session Mr. Cannon
declared that if lie could have his way
Congress would adjourn sine die before
July 4th.
The General Deficiency Appropriation
I.ill, the last of the supply bills, was
passed.
A night session was held at which the
House considered bills reported from the
Committee on Indian Affairs.
Mr. Richardson said the Republican
I»:ffty had had absolute control of all
branches of the Government for six years.
He proposed to examine into its trus
teeship.
The dominant party, he said, had come
into power with certain express prom
ises and pledges and he argued that its
record was spotted all over with the lep
rosy of pledges unredeemed. First he
directed attention to the promise of rea
sonable trade concessions to Cuba sol
emnly given which had been defeated, he
stated, by discord and rebellion in the
Republican ranks. He then went back
to 1896, charging that the Republicans
had betrayed their pledges oil the money
question and later in 1900 when they ap
pealed for a further lease of power in
order to cure the alleged defect in the
legislation for the perpetuation of the
gold standard. Not one line of remedial
legislation had been placed upon the
statute books since 1900.
Mr. Richardson announced that in his
opinion the gravest danger now threat
ening the welfare of the people and the
country was the growth of the power of
the trusts.
There was, he declared, an irrepressible
cry throughout the country for Govern
ment control of the great trusts. Con
gress alone could heed that cry. If it
was not heeded these remorseless trusts
could proceed in their greed to defy the
power of the Government itself. Mr.
Richardson charged that the growth of
these great trusts was due to the exis
tence of the highest protective tariff ever
placed on the statute books. There was
sworn testimony of the beneficiaries of
the tariff that it was “the mother of
trusts.”
The Sherman Anti-Trust T aw to
the dominant party pointed with pride,
lie said, was a dead letter. Under it the
trusts flourished like mushrooms in a
dark cellar. Yet Congress did nothing.
If the people did not turn out of pow
er the friends of the trusts, lie said,
they would deserve the fate the trusts
had in store for them. The Repub
licans, he said, seemed to be paralyzed
with fear. They cried out and asked
whether the President and Attorney Gen
eral were not now endeavoring to re
strain the trusts. That was true, ho
said, but action against a single trust
could accomplish nothing. Congress must
act. Presidential strenuousity would not
compensate for Congressional ennui.
When Mr. Richardson declared that the
Democrats were willing to remain in ses
sion until the snow flew in order to give
the people some relief from tariff taxa
tion his Democratic colleagues gave him
a round of applause. He quoted a state
ment attributed to Speaker Henderson
about the circulation of false reports
regarding Cuban reciprocity and added:
“From recent developments it would
seem that possibly the Government itself
was particeps criminis to the circulation
of the reports of which the Speaker com
plained.” (Democratic laughter).
In conclusion Mr. Richardson charged
the Republican party with improper,
scandalous and reckless extravagance.
In four years the increase of appropria
tions, he said, was $1,067,000,000. For
that vast sum of money he asked what
the United States had gained and in re
ply read the closing paragraph of Sena
tor Hoar’s Philippine speech, in which
the Massachusetts Senator gave a list
of the vessels we had acquired by the
war with Spain.
Mr. Richardson was warmly congratu
lated by his Democratic friends when he
finished.
Mr. Shallcnberger, of Nebraska, con
demned the action of the Secretary ofj
War in dismissing Miss Tayjqr, a pjerk'
in the War Department, for criticising
the administration. He also condemned
the action of General Wood in using
Cuban funds to make public sentiment
in the United States in favor of Cuban
reciprocity.
Mr. Cannon made a brief reply to the
speeches of Mr. Richardson and Mr.
Shallenberger. “I listened with care,
for almost an hour and a half,” said Mr.
Cannon, “to the remarks of the gentle
man from Tennessee, the leader on the
other side of the House, and aftet lis
tening to him I am here to confess that
oil this side of the House, and I rather
suspect on that side of the House, the
millenium has not yet come. (Laugh
ter.) We are not perfect and we do not
claim to be. We pull the wagon and we
do the work and you find the fault.
You had full jiower under Cleveland—
you come in power partially from time
to time—but then you had full power.
It is recent—from 1893 to 1897. Don’t
you wish you could blot out the recol
lection of the manner in which you ex
ercised it? (Laughter and applause on
the Republican side.)
The bill then was read for amendment
under the five minute rule.
Mr. Bartlett, of Georgia, offered an
amendment to appropriate $25,500 to re
imburse the revenues of Cuba for tlu,
amount paid to Governor General Wood
out of the Cuban revenues by direction
of the Secretary of War in excess of
his salary as brigadier general.
“With great grief and pain,” observed
Mr. Cannon sarcastically, ‘l‘ am com
pelled to raise the point of order that
the appropriation is not authorized by
law.”
Mr. Bartlett pointed out that a some
what similar provision appeared in a
former deficiency bill to pay back (o
the Cubun revenues the money “stolen
by Rathbono and Neely and Reeves.”
That provision was lost in conference.
Nevertheless lie did not believe gentle
men on the other side should seek to
prevent by a technicality the return of
money taken from the Cuban treasury
“illegitimately, illegally and in viola
tion of law.”
“You cannot cry this matter down,”
said Mr. Bartlett addressing the Repub
lican side; “you might as well face it
now. I commend to the country this
continued effort on the part of the other
side of the House to smother every at
tempt to investigate the situation of
affairs in Cuba.”
When Mr. Cannon declined to with
draw his point of order Mr. Bartlett
withdrew the amendment. The bill
was then passed.
