'ZNegLro‘ Longshoremen Shot Down by
White Men In New Orleans.
.‘IT WAS ALL PREMBDITATED.
The Fog Made the \Vork of the llIurder-
ers Easy—Colored Men \Vere Taken
by Surprise and \Vere Unable
to Make Resistance.
New ORLEANS, March 13.—New Or-
lieans has passed through another bitter
and discreditablc experience. The trouble
=between‘ the white and. colored longshore-
men culminated today in scenes of blood-
shed, in all of which the whites were the
. 'aggressors, the negroes being practically
runresisting victims.
The rioting began at 7 o’clock and re-
:sulted in the killing of two men and a
wholesale discharge of firearms in two
different sections of the city.
After ’6 o’clock last evening, though
ithere was intense excitement along the
ilevee and many drunken men were pres-~
eent, there were no deeds of violence. .
The police were massed in the sixth pre-
z'cinct police station and remained there all
might under command of Acting Chief of
Police John J ournee. Everything was re-
:ported quiet, and they were hopeful that
everything would remain so, when there
'came a message that a dozen men had
ibeen killed in front of the Jackson square,
and that a terrible riot was in progress.
’The police at once hustled into the patrol
"wagons, which were at the stations, and
were hurried away to the scene of the
itrouble. They had barely left when Ser-
geant Richard Walsh, in command of the
:precinct, heard a volley of shots from the
:direction of the levee. The morning was
:exceptionally foggy, and when Sergeant
'-.Walsh heard the shooting he rushed to the
zscene.
The First Victim.
- Among the freight cars on the levee be-
‘tween Phillip and First streets he found
a crowd» of negroes. They surrounded a
companion whose head was covered with
blood. He was shot in the mouth. The
negro, who was unknown, was taken to
the station. Those who were about de-
sclare “he was crossing the levee when a
vinob came along and fired a volley at him,
Ekilling him instantly.
When the negro’s body was removed,
lthe sergeant and a squad of ofi‘iccrs went
vup the levee and found a mob of 250 men
armed with win'chester rifles and other
:guns. They marched along the levee up
{to Eighth street and back to Jackson street
sand then dispersed, according to what
licems a prearranged plan. At Washington
tstreet they were accosted by Sergeant
‘Walsh, who recognized most of the men.
Among the leaders was a man from down
town named Walter Owens.
; The mob was sober and acted with de-
liberation.
» On the levee =Port Warden McCu bbcn
was seen. He declared he had been up all
night and deplored the occurrence. He
said all the men were from down town and
did not belong to the screwmcn.
AAt 8:30 o’clock everything up town was
comparatively quiet, with very few weap-
ons in sight. All negroes had left the
levee, and not one could be seen anywhere.
The mob deposited their shotguns and
titles in the barrooms in the vicinity.
While this was going on the vicinity of
French market was in excitement. A
bloody riot had occurred. Four negroes
had been shot and one Caribbean killed.
The trouble occurred on the levee at the
landing of Harrison line of steamships,
opposite the Jackson square. In the fog

into the river.
Dastardly Attack by Cowards.
Those who ran across the levee in the
direction of the square were subjected to a
deadly vplley. The shots seemed to come
from doorways, windows, galleries and

saw plStols and heard the reports as the
revolvers were discharged. Each man
then ran in a different direction, and the
poor devils seemed panic stricken. Those
in the crowd of whites who were not armed
with revolvers picked up stones, clubs
and other improvised weapons and attack-
ed the crowd of negroes. Even the most
venturesome of the blacks could not stand
this, and they fled.
Those seen by a reporter say that it is
impossible to state how many were shot.
They did not see anybody fall. but knew
from the yells and cries that some of their
comrades had been hit. Later it was as-
certained on reliable authority that one
negro had been killed outright and a. num-
ber had been wounded. several fatally.
For many minutes the firing continued on
the river front, and the police seemed pow-
erless to make any movement against the
murderers, though it is said that there
was a much larger force on the river front
than that of yesterday. The rioters were
given full sway, and they exercised.it with—
out stint. Not until every negro had fled
from the river front did the white men do-
sist. It was also found that Joe Collins,
Phil Thomas and one unknown negro had
also been killed and two unknown negroes
wounded. They were taken to the Char-
ity hospital. ,
The entire police force was later sum-
moned to the levee. Governor Fowler has
been telegraphed to, ansd it is reported
the militia have been ordered to keep them-
selves in readiness. Most of the men are
drinking. and the police fear more trouble.
Another Riot Probable.
Acting Chief of Police J ehn J ourncc is
on duty. The entire river front is in a
tumult. Another riot may be expected
at any moment. The bodies of the four
killed at the Jackson square are at the
Third precinct station, while the bodies
of the others are at the Sixth precinct sta-
tion. The report that a white longshorc-
man had been killed is now denied.
The time for the shooting seems to have
been fixed for the hour just preceding the
beginning of the working day. ,As a
usual thing, the stevedores and longshore-
men begin working at 7 o’clock, and it
was just before this hour that the firing
began. ' It seems to have been tot-ally unex-
pected, for the negroes were on the levee
in large numbers. The poor blacks evi-
dently believed that there was sufficient
force on the river front to protect them,
and that protection would be accorded
them.

mAT LEGISL . .. . 4521‘.
The Disgraceful Scene.- at Indianapolis at
the Close of the Session.
INDIANAPOLIS, March lib—The disgrace-
ful riot with which the legislature broke
up last night is the sole topic of conversa-
ti‘on' here today. While most of the sto-
ries diii‘er somewhat, the main facts ap-
pear to be about as follows:
Myron King, Governor Matthew’s pri-
vate secretary, was locked in the elevator.
and a strong man guarded the door and
refused to let him leave. The police final-
ly drove the man away. When he arrived
at the door of the house, he found it look-
ed. Hc had an important message from
the governor, and a grea’ deal depended
upon its delivery to the speaker before 12
o’clock. He pounded on the door, but was
denied admission. He called out that he
had a message from the governor. His
voice was heard by men who ran to his
assistance. An attempt to force open the
door was made. but the crowd who were
keeping the secretary out resisted with all
the force they could command. The doors
were unable to stand the pressure and
were forced open. King was forced into
the crowd, who were bent on keeping him
from reaching the speaker‘s desk. With
one accord the men began striking at each
other, and the secretary was in great dan-
ger of being killed. A hundred voices
cried: “Kill him! Kill him!”
The women who were in the gallery
screamed, and ,one or two fainted. The
aim' of the Democrats was to get King
through the crowd to the speaker’s desk
with th e governor’s message, and the Re-
publicans were determined to hold him
back until 12 o’clock, at which time the
house would adjourn sinc die.
Inch by inch the Democrats gained
ground. Revolvers were flourished.
At 11:57 the excitement was intense.
Men were struggling in every part of the
room, and several of them were bleeding
from wounds. The Democrats were grad-
ually forcing King to the speaker’s desk,
and the Republicans were growing weaker
on account of so many of their number be-
ing injured. A few seconds later King,
with his clothing torn and his face bleed-
ing, was pushed 'by main force through
the crowd and thrown heavily against the
speaker’s desk. He still held the govern-
or’s veto message in his hand. Just as he
was about to place it in the speaker’s
hands, Speaker Adams kicked and heat
back the crowd, and in a voice which could
be heard above the din cried: “The house
has adjourned. The house has adjourned.”
This raised a great cry from the browd,
and everybody made a rush toward the
speaker. The veto was torn from King’s
hand by a man, who [dashed out of the
crowd with it and made his escape. This
practically ended the riot.
Grand Trunk Report.
LONDON, March 18.-———The Daily News,
commenting on Mr. Parker’s report, says
that there is very little in it that was not
already known. On the basis of its pres-
ent earnings, the Grand Trunk railway
would be better without branches or con-
nections of any sort, but that view is prob-
ably too extreme even for the committee of
the shareholders.

Attorney General’s Argument In the
' Test Case at ll’ashington.
the Income Tax Is to Be chied on Per-
sonal Property and Must Be Equal In
All States, Says 01ney’—IIis An-
' swer to Critics of the Law.
WASHINGTON, March 18.—The procced- _
ings in the income tax cases in the su—
preme court today opened with argument
by Attorney General Olncy for the valid-
ity of the tax. The courtroom inside the
bar was crowded, and there was no time
when the seating (apacity was sufficient
to accommodate the audience.
Mr. Olncy began by saying that the
chief interest of the government in the
present litigation was limited to the con-
stitutional quest-ions which the several
plaintiffs allege to be involved. Whether
they are really involved he would not at-
ATTORNEY GENERAL OLNEY.
tempt to determine. An examination of
the plaintiffs’ bills and briefs and arguv
monts seemed to him to show that many
of the alleged objections to the validity of
the income tax are simply perfunctory in
character.
“They are taken pro 'forma—by way of
precaution-bccause of the possibility of a
point developing in some unexpected con-
nection and just as a good equity pleader,
be his knowledge of his case and of the
pertinent remedies ever so thorough, never
fails to wind up with the general prayer for
other and further relief. There is nothing
to criticise, of course, in the plaintiffs
pursuing that plan. It only makes ., it
proper to sift out at the outset the exact
propositions upon which alone the plain-
tiffs can and do place any real reliance.”
“No Invention of Vested Rights."
For example, he thought no time need
be spent in discussing the avcrmcnts that
the income tax law is an invention of
vested rights or takes property without the
process of law. These prepesitions are
pure generalities, and if there is anything
in them it is because they comprehend
others which are the only real subjects of
profitable discussion. Again, suppose fit
to be true that the income tax law under-
takes to ascertain the income of citizens
by methods which are not only disagreea-
ble, but are infringements of personal
rights. The co‘n‘éequence‘ is not that the
law is void, but that the: hotly denounced
inquisitorial methods cannot be resorted
to.
“If I am right in‘ these observations,”
he continued, “the constitutional conten—
tion of the plaintiffs simmers down to two
points. One is that an income tax is a di—
rect tax and must be imposed according
to the rule of apportionment, and the other
is based upon the alleged violation of the
constitution with regard to uniformity.”
Speaking on another point raised by the
appellants, he said no land tax is aimed
at or attempted by the statute—there is
no lien on land for ‘ Jayment—and the
Whole scope and tenor of the statute show
the contemplated subject of taxation to be
personal property and to be nothing else.
- Mr. Olney devoted considerable time to
the meaning of the word “uniform’_’ as ap-
plied to the collection of imposts, exciscs,
etc, declaring that tllggvord had a terri-
torial'application and no other. ‘
Operation llIust Be Uniform.
“A federal tax which is not a poll tax
nor a tax on land must be the same in all
parts of the country. The law providing
for such a tax must be like a bankruptcy
law or a naturalization law. It must have
the same operation everywhere, wholly
irrespective of state lines.”
The powerto tax, he said, is for practi-
cal use and is necessarily to be adapted to
the practical conditions of human life.
These are never the same for any two per—
sons, and as applied-to any community,
however small, are infinitely diversified.
Nothing has been oftcner .. declared by
courts and jurists than the absolute equal-
ity of taxation is impossible.
It does not follow that the power to tax
is without limits. They are, so to speak,
self imposed—that is, as already observed,
they result from the very nature of the
power itself.
Uniformity between members of: a class
created for taxable purposes is required.
It is quite beside the issue to argue that
congress has mistaken what public policy
requires. On that point congress is the
sole and final authority, and its decision,
once made, controls every other depart-
ment of the goyernment. The statute
makes no exemption in favor of a class
that is not based in some obvious line of
public policy, and that class being estab-
lished one uniform rule is applicable to
its members.

ROCHESTER, March 13.7—The employees
of Stevenson’s box factory notified the po-
lice that the factory was at times full of
smoke. Under the factory is an old aban-

in age from 1:3 to 16 years, accompanied by
two girls of tender years, who had been
keeping house in the outlet for several
days, together with five others who were
