ANOTHER HAL AI Prisoners Mob left Ready to Face Court FOR LYERLY MURDER The Case Against Alleged Lynchers Also on the Docket Kownn Citi zens Suspected Floe- Not Easy to Identify Lynchers as Thoy Wore Strangers, According to Report. (Special to the Evening Times.) Salisbury, N. C, August 27. The regular term of Rowan superior court convened this morning with Judge Ferguson on the bench. Solicitor Hammer came in Saturday night and will have one of the busiest courts of his entire administration. In ad dition to the usual number of homi cides, there are the cases against the lynchers and the remaining Gilles pie, Dillingham and George Ervin negroes charged with the murder of the Lyerlys. All these will come up If Delia Dillingham is able to come to trial. The lynchers will be tried first What day that will be set for, is not known now, but Solicitor Hammer has ten days' work and will reach the Investigation in plenty of time. Gentle, now in the state penitentiary on a charge of murder, will be brought here sometime this week, but the date is not now certain. In fact, matters of this kind will not be so extensively published as before August the 6th. While there are dally inquiries as to whereabouts of the leaders and numberless sugges tions offered about them, it Is safe to say that unless someone possessed of strong facts comes forward with tes timony, there will be no more arrests. There are two Rowan men who were known to have been in the mob. They have fled and unless they are apprehended there is hardly a like lihood of any more coming of the lynching investigation. The policy of the state will be against indicting men upon speculative or insufficient evidence. The mob was simply com posed of strangers and there is no body to identify them.

SALISBURY REVOLUTION OF UNREASON Palma Tims Characterizes the Movement NO IDEAL, NO PROGRAM Insurgents ; Repenting of the Actions May Return Within the Pale of Law, But the Insurrection Will He Put Down By Force of Arms. (By the Associated Press. ) Havana, August L'T. President Palma today gave out a statement in which he says that the insurrec tion has no ideals and no program and that the crisis which the insurg ents raised do not. constitute a pro gram, ideals or a justification for the movement. Continuing the pres ident says: "All revolutions must have a pro gram, as had our revolution for in dependence in 189,"). Everybody at that tima knew that the Cubans had revolted against Spain and had en gaged In an open fight for the lib erty of their country. The present movement is more of a local adven tureonly a crazy movement on the part of discontented persons. There Is 'no moral reason for it. The gov ernment could suspend the constitu tional guarantees, but it prefers to maintain the vigor and hope of the people and avoid possible excesses. "The medical force has been in structed tc attend to all prisoners and to give wounded or sick insurg ents the same attention as wound ed or sick men belonging to the gov ernment forces. Any insurgent re penting of his action may return within the pale, of the law and may not be molested. The government will have no petty spite or feeling of rancor against these who return to their senses and abandon the cause of disorder." To Re-establish Peace With Arms. President Palma is not disposed to employ any other method than that of arms for the re-establishment of peace. Ho declared energetically that the government here would ab solutely never compromise with any form of distufbeis of order. The government was legitimately consti tuted, was bound by Its imperious duty and must demonstrate that It is stable and able to safeguard prop erty, life and the happiness of the republic at present and in the fu ture and any compromise would sow the seed of armed revolution throughout the country. Malcon tents were always extant, it being impossible to lind public positions for every one. To compromise with the disturbers now would result in further disturbance every few years. Suppressing the insurgents now will forevermore guarantee the stability of the Cuban institutions, while dickering witli them would expose their country to another disturbance of the peace iu the near future." "This is my firm resolution," Presi dent Palma declared, "and I shall maintain it at the cost of my life. I understand my duties and responsibil ities to the people. Such is the only method of defending Cuba's institu tions and civilization." Senor Palma referred to his own sacrifices Ions years in the field, inS piisonment and servitude while a member of the junta, and said: "Poor I returned to my country as president and poor shall I return to private life. I shall, however, have a clear record and a good name, I am disposed to exhaust my forces and shed my blood if necessary in helping to strengthen the foundations of our pros perous republic." Font Sterlinti. secretary of the treas ury asserts that the relentless pursu ing of Mendieta's force by Major Gomez on August 25 and 26 caused the former's followers to fall away rapidly until Mendiela himself went to Santa Clara City, where he expected to find funds and allies. Offers of Clemency. General Montalvo, acting secre tary of the interior, has issued an order, under the direction of Presi dent Palmer, instructing th'e , kov ernment officials in the province of Plnar Del Rio, Havana, Mantanzas and Santa Clara to allow all insurg ents who repent of their errors to go free to their homes, excepting in surgents who are prisoners in the hands of the government forces and captured commanders of Insurgent bands who will be detained until the . gpvernment determines whether thoy j ate to be allowed their freedom or j are to be tried by the courts.

New York, Aug. 27. On board the steamer Finland, which arrived today from Antwerp, was a group of thirty six young women who were sent abroad by the Louisville Courier Journal. The young women left New York on July 11, and had a month's tour in Kurope. Commenting on her trip Miss Mary Elizabeth Lear of Point Lick, Ky., said: "It was all mighty fine, but I reckon we were glad that we came from America and were bound back there again. I iiked Paris pretty good, but to me the most interesting places visited weer the mountain'? of Scotland and the falls of the Rhino. Europe will be a great place when they wake up. "In Paris we attracted some atten lion, and when we started to leuve the Hotel Louvre one day we found a mob waiting for us. They express ed some displeasure over our per sonal appearance, but I don't bl.j.me them. They expected to see a great scene and a lot of beauties and all that, and we did not come up to their expectations. Some of the girls were rather offended, but I was not one of those. "I was not much Impressed wiih the men I saw on the other ,-iide. They were an ornery looking lot. The women over there should come to this country for fine looking men. They ought to come down 'o Ken tucky, for we have got some right smart men in that state. "You hear a great deal about I he French men but they do not. even compare with the men in England, and do not come up to our men." Of the French women Miss Lear said : "They are mighty fine and well dressed, but they look like us over here and that is why they are good looking. Everything over there is mighty interesting because it is so different from Kentucky. Why, imagine what a sensation there will be in certain parts of our state when - tho young women begin to talk of (heir luggage, ride in the lift, and speak of the town constable as a gendarme, take to dropping their h's and getting the men folks to drive their dogs. There would be a mighty I smart shock down in Kentucky." SEEK LIFE OF BARON TREPOFF (By the Associated Press.) St. Petersburg, Aug. 27.

A DICTATOR MAY TAKE THE REINS Deep Resentment is Felt at Peterhoff Palace LOOKS NOW TO FORCE Tin- Open Campaign Against the Gov ernment Inaugurated Saturday With the Attempt on the Life of Stolypin Arouses the Government to Thoughts of Reprisal. (By the Associated Press.) St. Petersburg, Aug. 27. The open campaign against the govern ment which the social revoultionists inaugurated with the attempt on the life of Premier Stolypin Saturday and the assassination of General Mln yesterday, nas produced such a feel ing of resentment at Peterhoff that the spectre of a dictatorship has been revived. The government, it is believed, can only rely on force to fight the ter rorists ,as the public press, which might be expected to manifest a re vulsion of feeing against the crime which sacrified the lives of a score of innocent persons in the attempt to murder a man who personally had not given cause for offense, remains coldly indifferent. Indeed, while ex pressing formal words of condemna tion, the hidden satisfaction at the fact that the object of the campaign is to strike terror into the heart of the government is hardly concealed. Only the Novoe Vremya and the offi cial Rossia denounce the terrorists as enemies of society. ' The conclusions of the liberal press are summed up in the charge made by the Rech that the government alone is guilty and responsible for what has happened. Hundreds of Arrests. The police have made hundreds of arrests since Saturday In an attempt to get their hands upon the organ izer and participants in what is evi dently a powerful, far-reaching con spiracy, but thus far they have been unable to secure the threads neces sary to enable them to unravel the skein. All that has been definitely established Is that two of the men who sacrificed their lives in the at tempt on the premier arrived here August 2:! from Moscow, where the organization is supposed to have Its headquarters, accompanied by two women. They rented an apartment on Morskai street, one of the women passing as the wife of one of the men and tho other as a servant. The coachman who was killed was not In the plot. Another young man bearing a pass port, showing him to be a student named Dulevlch, of Riga, had arriv ed several days previous and was con stantly in communication with the Moscow conspirators before the crime. Two of the men, then wear ing officers uniforms and the woman passing as the wife of one of them' left Worskai street in a public landau Saturday. While on the way to M. Stolypin's residence the wo man disappeared and Dulevlch en tered the carriage. In the meantlmo the woman servant also left the houser and disappeared. According to some reports the wo man who passed as the wife of one of the conspirators secured admission to M. Stolypin's residence and was among those killed. The police are inclined to believe that the woman who killed General Min was tho "servant" but her identification is not. positive. The door porter of the Morskai street house, who should have notifisd the police that the men had donned uniforms when, accord ing to their passports they wore not officers, has been .arrested as an ac complice. Prince Nakashldge, who was one of the victims of the attempt on M. Stolypin's life, was the inventor of an armored automobile which is for. use In the warfare against the revo lutionists. M. Bussel, proprietor of the print ing establishment which closed after printing the Vlborg manifesto, was another victim of the explosion. He had gone to M. Stolypin for the pur pose of requesting permission to re open his establishment. Gold for Australia. (By the Associated Press.) New York, Aug;. 27.
