SHREVEPORT, La, May 26.-The two
negroes, William and John Anderson,
who dragged and held Jane Ware, col
ored, across a railway track so that she
was run over and killed by a freight
train, have been lynched. The pursuing
party, made up largely of colored men,
surprised the murderers near the Arkan-
sas state line and disarmed them before
they could offer any resistance. After
being given time to pray, ropes were pat
around their necks and their bodies were
left dangling from the limb of tree,
The murderers were sullen and defiant
to the last and offered no word of regret
for their crime. The summary removal
of these desperadoej relieves the com
munity of danger apprehended constant
ly from their presence.

story to Col, Weber.
Detectives Would Object.
There are several remedies, but one
which has been suggested, and which is
regarded as one of the most potent, is to
send detectives to Europe to come over
on the steamers as immigrants. They
would then have time during the voyage
to make an investigation. This would
involve actual detective work and it
would mean wearing poor clothes and
eating plain food. AS one man put it,
"A silk tile would not be in it,"
Constantly Slipping In.
Col. Weber, speaking ON the subject,
said; "There is no question that con
tract laborers are slipping into this conn
try, and something ought to be done,
but il is knotty problem. The plan of
sending detectives to European points to
come back on the steamers has already
been suggested. You must bear in mind
that these men would have to be linguists
and that is one difficulty. They would
at least have to understand the language
of the immigrants on the ship they
were on.
This plan would be spotted in time
as well as our present system but I
would go further and keep detectives in
Europe who would correspond with
manufacturers and agents on this side.
IF these people are being contracted
as regular business by people here in
New York, and q regular commission
business, with humanity as basis, car
ried on, we want to know it. Sending a
few emigrants back from the barge
office is like killing u few skirmishers
before great battle 1t does not affect
the great result particle. We want to
strike at the root of the matter. De
tective work must be done ON this side
also"
They're Well Posted,
Gen. Osborne gave similar opinion.
"What is the use of inspectors standing
in front of a procession of immigrants as
they file past the registry desk and ask
ing them questi0nsY queried the gen
eral. why the foreigners actually
smile when the usual sterotyped ques-
tions are asked. We need men who will
take off their coats and so into shop or
factory where contract laborers are sus-
pected of being mt work. Contract
laborers are not going to convict them
selves with their eyes open"

ton is one of the most important of the
coming questions, and Secretary Fostsr
is determined to get all the information
possible before the assembling of con-
gress. The information which the state
department has received through its
consuls is that the immigration from
Italy, notwithstanding the incidents be-
tween Rudini and the United States, is
very rapidly growing, and that the i'm
migrants are very largely people of the
obiectionable classes.
