They Are Treated Well by the Citi-
Zens of That Place.

VACAvILLE, May 13-About a week
ago large numbers OF the unemployed men
gathered in this place and held public
meeting and organ zed branch Industrial
Army. A camp was established near town
and the number OF unemployed grew to
nearly 200 The citizens Of the town pro-
vided them with food. and every effort
was made to secure them employment.
There is, in fact. little work in the orchards
at the present time.
San Francisco parties offered to furnish
large numbers OF white workmen at 80
cents per day and board. Despite the dull
season work was secured for large num-
bers of the unemployed at this figure.
Representations being made to Captain
Wood and his army that to accept this
rate would permanently lower the wages
OF every workman in the valley the un-
employed voted unanimously TO diSDand
and this afternoon they broke camp. AT
no time during the presence of the army
has there been any lawlessness. Strict
discipline has been maintain and people
feel sympathetic toward them. Many
town people have been unemployed since
last year. The price of labor has been
reduced. This town is bad place to look
for employment. still there are plenty of
Chinese and Japs at work. though in some
cases under contract, by reason of tight
money, to wait for wages until the fruit
sales make payments possible.

AN IMPORTANT RESIGNATION.
The London Times Comments on
rIundePs Act.

LONDON, May 14.-It Is officially an
nounced that the Right Hon. Alf Mundel.
president of the Board of Trade, has re-
signed.
A. r. Mundel, Sir John Gorst and Sir
James Ferguson were recently summoned
to appear before the Queens bench
division of the High Court of Justice for
examination as to the affairs of the de-
funct New Zealand Land Company. of
which they had been drecto rs.
DIR. Mundel. as stated in court, had re-
signed from the board of directors when
he was appointed to the presidency of the
Board of Trade AT the time he $50 shares
of the company's stock, which he subse-
auently sold. he denies that he had ever
assented TO the issue of any misleading
prospectus. but he admitted that he had
given his assent to the declaration of
dividend. although the fiscal officers of the
company expected deficit of e347. 900.
The admissions made by the directors at
their examination caused severe structures
to be made upon them, and it is undoubt-
edly this fact that has led to Mr.. Mundeps
resignation.
The Times says this morning that very
grave public scandal has been terminated
by the resignation of Mr.. Mundel. and re-
grets that useful officials career has
ended in so melancholy manner.

TAKEN FROM A JAIL.
Lynching of Murderer in
Kansas.
Citizens Take George Rose From
Jail and Unceremoniously Hang
Him to a Stringer.

STRONG CITY, Kans., May 13.-Tbe
great excitement which prevailed all of
Friday, and which nearly eliminated in
the lynching of George Rose, the muir
derer of Assistant Postmaster Karl Kuhl
of Cottonwood Falls, broke out afresh
last night, and about II o'clock a mob of
fifty masked men marched to the jail and
called Sheriff Murdoch TO the door. As
soon a. the Sheriff opened the door he
was overp0wered by the masked men,.
who placed pistols to his head. and, con-
Quoting him to the door of the cell occu-
pied by Rose, he was commanded to un-
lock. He was finally compelled to do so
under threats that the mob would have
the man they sought even if they had to
pull the Jail down. Every approach to the
jail and courthouse were carefully guarded
by armed members of the mob.
After securing the prisoner the mob
marched east to railroad bridge. In the
meantime word had reached the citizens OF
the town generally, and a crowd of fully
1000 people gathered at the bridge to see
the lynching of the murderer. A rope was
placed around the victims neck and he
was then asked if he had anything to say,
10 WHICH D6 TepH6us GtDlIolDeU, sup
pose there is no use to talk. You're out
here to hang me. l should have liked to
have had trial by law"
He was asked if that was all he bad to
say, to which he replied: "Yes. except
that hope God will have mercy On my
soul.'
His hands and feet were then tied and
he was given shove off the bridge, fall
ing about ten feet. His neck was broken,
and death was almost instantaneous. The
lynchers then disappeared, leaving his
body dangling between the bridge and the
waters Of Cotton wood River, where 1t re-
NAMED until o'clock this morning, when
the Coroner held an inquest.
The verdict was. death by hanging by
parties unknown"
The general belief here is that the lynch
ing was justifable, and it is understood
that the masked men who did the work
consisted of some of the best citizens of
Cottonwood Falls.
