THE PLOTS WELL LAID
Startling Evidence in the Late
Tennessee Eynching Matter.
GRAND JURY INVESTIGATES THE CASE.
Public Feeling Against the Participants In
tho Lynching Runs High, as It Does
Also Against Richardson,
Regarded Accessory.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, September 4.-Thc
grand jury met again today and began in
earnest to investigate Friday nights
lynching. Under the law, tho men i'm
prison have right to bail and Judge
cooper made the amount 81 200, but so
,.sa,:&-. mas no' Desn madetu runs nigh.
1t has been learned that the programme
of the lynching was known by Will
Cox and detected by him last week, be-
fore the lynching occurred. 1t is his
understanding that detective Richard
son was in with the crowd. Charles
Cox visited Cuba, near the scene of
the lynching. last week, and he, too,
heard of what was on the tapis. Both
men made these statements last week
but now they deny them. There is no
doubt that they did debate the pro-
gramme. When this fact is published,
it will intensity the feeling against
Richardson.

Explanation of the Haze Notice
able In the Sky.
DARKNESS IN THE LIGHT OF THE sun.
Forest Fires and tho Smoke OF burning
Crops Believed to he responsible for
the Strange Phenomenon.
Like Occasions.

WASHINGTON, September 3.-The me-
culiar haze that has been noticeable in
the sky all over the country for the
week or so has been a matter ~ .,,3
interest to meteorologiSts..S on ir diff
eiSsaer'ments harSflesof the country to
determine it's cause and nature. The
weather bureau officials, whose reports
on the weather conditions are daily
read throughout the United States have
been making observations Of this pho
nomenon, and the opinions of two of
the professors OF meteorotogy were
given to reporter.
Prof. Henry A. lIazcn said: This is
what may be called the Indian summer
dry haze. Just what is the cause of it,
it is little difficult to- determine.
Like Phenomenons In the Past.
Similar conditions have been noticed in
the past, notably on the dark day" iii
1881, which was due to dense condition
of the atmosphere, probably caused by
smoke. In 1881 there was another dark
day known as yellow day" which cx-
tended from New England to Virginia
on the Atlantic coast"
Professor Cleveland Able. of the
weather bureau, who has made
special research into this smoke pho
nomcnon, said: II begun today
collation. of all the data the weather
bureau has relative to the spread of the
haze which now covers the greater part
of the United States. Early in July I
began to receive reports of forest fires
and large areas of smoke in Minnesota.
Wisconsin and upper Michigan. Since
then reports have come from lower
Michigan, New York and Pennsylvania.
Forest Fires tho Possible Cause.
There is every reason to believe that all
of the smoky haze which now covers
the country is the result of the diffu-
sion of the smoke of burning forest
fires and crops. = 49, ; = .--'
: N comparatively little fire will make
large quantity Of smoke, unless it is
widely diffused by strong winds, in
which case the smoke becomes like the
thin haze of the Indian summer. But
it SO happens that in this present sea-
son the United States has exper-
fenced rather high temperature and

clubs for the purpose OF demanding
fifty cents In cash for every one hun
dred pounds of cotton they pick. All
members pledge themselves TO abide by
this rule and 10 thrash any other ne

bursting from the bolls. but the negroes
have been so stirred up by secret agents
travelling about that they will not
touch the cotton, although they are in
want. except for fifty cents cash.
