CRIMES HORRIBLE ONES BODIES OF THE DEAD MEN WERE LITERALLY HACKED TO PIECES AND THEN WERE BURNED.

Press.1 New Orleans, Dec. Italians were found murdered in a tenement house on Dumaine street. Some of them burned to death and there is no doubt that the men were victims of the Mafia, which has been working secretly in New Orleans many years. Not since the lynching of Italians by the wholesale, several years ago, has New Orleans been in such a high state of excitement. The bodies of the dead men were literally hacked to pleces and those that were burned evidently were set on fire after being put to death.

The murderers are said not to have left a clue to their identity. If they are known the Italians are the only persons who can enlighten the police, and up to this time they have refused to talk.

ACUTE STAGE REACHED TROUBLE STARTED BY A NEGRO ABUSING A WHITE FARMER WHEN THEY MET ON THE HIGHWAY-TROOPS CALLED. Press.1 Meridian, Dec. the number of dead placed by a conservative estimate at 15, the racial trouble prevailing throughout Kemper county, reached a most acute stage and unless quickly checked a race war of serious proportions will result. After quiet was restored at Wahalak, where the first outbreak occurred Monday, and shortly after the departure of the troops sent to quell the disturbance, rioting broke out afresh at Scooba, five miles south of Wahalak, and five negroes are reported to have been killed.

Of this latter clash reports are some placing the killed wounded at a score. Troops were immediately ordered there and left Meridian for the scene of disturbance. At Wahalak five negroes were killed before arrival of the troops. At Crawford, R. N.

Harrison, conductor on the Mobile Ohio railroad, was shot and fatally wounded by a negro Tuesday night. The negro was shot by Harrison and, before he could escape, was killed by a posse. Three companions who were with the negro fled to the woods. One of these was captured and shot to death. The others are being pursued.

A negro became involved in an altercation with two white men on a train near Artesia, and when the station was reached was taken from the train and killed. The troops sent to Scooba are composed of a company of infantry and a battery of artillery. Besides the troops an organized party of 40 men from Columbus is on the scene to assist in quelling the riot. In a dispatch to Governor Vardaman the sheriff of Kemper county described the situation as critical. Governor Vardaman issued instructions to military officials to preserve the peace at all hazards.

The negro abused the white man, who reported the occurrence to the white villagers at Wahalak.

The whites immediately organized themselves and in a fight with the negroes of the community, a number of white men were killed, including one of the most prominent in the vicinity. The number of negroes killed in the rioting has never been approximated, but dead negroes have been found in all parts of the settlement since the trouble started.
