There Was Little Trouble in
the City Throughout Sun
day and Situation Is Now
Well in Hand.
ALL NEGROES ARE
BEING SEARCHED
And They Are Not Allowed
in the Downtown Section
Unless They Are on Spe
cific Business.
(Br The Aaaeciatea Prem.)
Knoxvllle, Tenu., Sept. 1. Knoxvllla
was calm this morning after the race
rioting of Saturday night and lesser
troubles of Sunday, as a result of the
action of civic and military authori
ties din placing the city under martial
law last night. With military patrols
iu the business sections in the terri
tory where the negro population is
greatest constant surveillance is be
ing maintained. No disorders occur
red throughout the night.
Despite the fact that this is a holi
day, the expected crowds had not ap
lHared on the streets until tlie middle
of the morning. Tlie order still obtaiusi
that all negroes shall be searched forj
firearms or other weapons. Negroes
who appeared on the streets were
stopped and not permitted to remain
in the downtown section unless they
tut 1 business there.
Bishop H. F. Hargrove, a negro min
ister worker among negroes of the city
issued an appeal to the men and wo
men of ills race, iu which be urged
that they maintain order and decorum
and refrain from violence of any cbnr-
actor. He assured them the white peo-
pie were their friends. He asserted
that the trouble of Saturday night and
Sunday was due to the "lowest types
of blacks and whites and not of the
better elements of either race, who had
to suffer the consequences." . . '
Next Saturday the primary election .
occurs in which candidates for mayor
1 an , oily rommlsbawr will, be, held, '

Maurice Mayes,! the negro charged '
with the murder of the white woman
Friday night, whose act was .the
cause of rioting here, made a state- --
nieiit Sunday in which he said that
Friday afternoon he had lieen working
in the interests of a candidate fur
mayor. Several mass meetings had
Im?oii planned for this week, but can
didates have determined these gathei. .
ings should not be held. It is the-'
opinion of many that the rioting may ,( .
have the effect in the election of de
feating the negro vote, particularly In -wards
where the negro iiopulatlon Is
very large. .
The county court bouse and Jail com
mittee met this morning and ordered
immediate work on repairing the coun
ty Jail which was considerably dam
aged by the mob on Saturday' night,
when it sought to secure Mayes who t.
had previously been taken to Chatta
nooga. The committee estimates the i
damage will aggregate alsut $5,000,
The jail was considered one of the .
strongest lu the south. Officers state ;
that the liars In the windows through
which the mob obtained admittance.. :
were dynamited after the battering
ram had failed to displace the barrier.
The list of casualties incident to
the rioting Is two dead and thirteen' .
injured. Of the latter one is believed ..
to be fatally wounded. The officers
have the situation well In hand, and
if today passes without further unto- ,?
ward development there is little like- ,
lihood of outbreaks. Patrols will be
maintained tonight, however, as waa -done
last night and the most rigid sur
veillance will be enforced. A "stay- ?
at home tonight" appeal Is being made .
In the hope that this will prevent :V
crowds gathering. The happenings ot
the past ff"w days are deprecated by
all the better element of the city, of -both
races. "
