CHARGES AGAINST WILKINSON.

Railway Trainmen Fake Them Under
Conside ration.
GALEsBURG, Ills, Nav 27.-The con-
vention of the Brotherhood of Railway
Trainmen heard the charges of neglect
of duty against Grand Master 5. +.
Wilkinson during the three months he
was in California. He made Il state
ment in defense, admitting he had
been guilty of indiscretions and had
not looked after the affairs of the
Brotherhood as he should. Many i'll
the convention were inclined to deal
leniently with hlm. Grand Secretary
Sheehan was included in the same
charge, but claimed not to have known
that the grand master was neglectlng
his work. No conclusion was reached,
but it is likely Grand Master Wilkinson
will be allowed to serve his term out.
The affair caused heated debate Ill
the convention and the delegates de-
cline to talk about it.

m. the pioneer Of the modern merchant
marine. the giant steamship st. Louis,
cast off her hawsers at Cramps ship
yard and started down the Delaware
river on her initial ocean voyage. As
the big steamer pointed her nose down
the stream she was greeted by all kinds
of crafts in the river, the noise being
simply deafening. This was continued
until the St. Louis had passed League
island, the extreme lower end of the
city. The st. Louis is the largest YES

CASH WHEAT IS 50.
Another Phenomenal Rise in
the Price Of the Cereal
at Chicago.
OPENING PRICE WAS LOWER.
Further Reports of Crop Dam
age the Cause Of the
Advance.

CHICAGO, May 27.-The bears got on
top of the wheat market in great shape
at the opening, and succeeded in break
ing the price of July to 74344, or 211a
cents below the official closing price of
the day before. 1t went down like a
load of dirt from dump wagon, and
the profess onal short sellers, whose
light has been dimmed for a month,
proceeded to take the crooks out of
their bent backs and smile. The smile
had barely time to widen into a grin
when the expression began to change,
and inside of an hour nothing but
weeping, wailing and gnashing Of teeth
was to be heard in the camp of the
bears. From 7434 at the start, the price
of July shot up to 1925, and in the
same time September rose from 75 to SO
per bushel. Such
Phenomenal Acrobatic Feats
is without many parallels in the his
tory of the board of trade. There was
no reason for the break of the early
morning, except the fact of the rapidity
of the advance having led to the expec-
tation Of such a general taking of prof.
its as did in fact take place then. The
professional traders were always ready
for the break, had in fact been on the
| qui vive for it for 10 days, but they
We're utterly and completely unpre

which sent wheat up cents per bushe

& Co, in their weekly review of trade
of the country printed in the morning
papers, did much to influence holder

NO AGREEMENT MADE.
Reports OF Compromise ON the Manitoba
school Question False.

Reports OF s'omrromise on the Manitoba
school Question False.
WINNIPEG. May 27.-The report from
Ottawa that compromise has been made
ON the Manitoba school question is a
canari. 1t is emphatically denied by
members of the government here. The
oest evidence that the report is untrue
is the fact that neither Premier Green
way nor Attorney General Sifton could
make any compromise agreement. The
question would have to be submitted to
the Legislature before it could be settled.
A long conference over the Manitoba
school question was held ut Ottawa be-
tween the Earl Of Aberdeen, Premier
Bowel of Canada, Smith Greenway Of
Manitoba and Archbishop Langevin.
1t is from this that the story of COM
promise comes. 1t is reported that the
Manitoba government will recognize
separate schools for the Roman Catho-
lies. but under provincial inspection
and having certified teachers, but there
is, as above stated, no likelihood of the
truth of the report.

FORMOSA A REPUBLIC
News of Her independence
Received at the State
Department.

WASHINGTON, May 27.-The state de-
partment has received cablegram
from Mr.. DENLY, United States minis
ter to China, stating that the island Of
Formosa has declared her independ-
ence; that the powers have been so no
titled and that government, republi-
can in form, has been established in
Formosa. This adds new complica-
tion to the situation in the East. Be-
fore this government can recognize the
Formosan Independence it must be
shown that provisional government
which can stand has been organized
There are great numbers Of Japanese
in Formosa, and it remains to be seen
what course they will adopt.
Not Taken Seriously.
The dispatch of Minister DENLY an.
nouncing the declaration Of Formosan
independence is not taken seriously at
the state department. The United
States recognizes Formosa as belonging
to Japan, and no matter what may be
the form of government which the
revolutionists of the island may have
organized, a recognition of the in
dependence Of the island would be dis
tinctly an unfriendly act towards ia
pan. 1t is not for the United
States minister to China, % te
to any other country, to rec
ognize the independence Of any island
in revolt. The United States does no,
recognize the Cuban rebels, and the
movement in Formosa cannot be re
garded as anything more than a re
bellion against Japan.

TWO ARE STRUNG UP
Brace Of Young Outragers
Hanged to a Bridge at
Danville, Ills.
MOB WAS A DESPERATE ONE
Worked For Several Hours
Before Gaining Entrance
to the Jail.

DANvILLE, Ills. May 27.-John
Halls, Jr., and William Royce, two
young men of unsavory reputation, who
assaulted Miss Laura Bennett and Miss
Lillian Draper, were hanged to the
Gilbert street bridge. the scene Of their
crime, at $3.50 a. H., just as the first
streaks of daylight were seen in the
east. On the way to the bridge from
the Jail q procession was formed, taking
the boys through Main street. Halls
and Royce both walked with a firm
step. Royce wanted to see his father
and delay followed. His father did
not come. Halls said he was not
ashamed of what he had done. They
would not jump and they were both
thrown over the bridge railing at 3:45.
They dropped 30 feet and death fol.
lowed, both expiring in fearful convul.
sions.
Battling Against Oaken Doors.
From midnight, when the crowd first
made its appearance at the Jail doors,
until the victims were reached, it was
the determined, desperate struggle OF a
frenzied mob to mete summary justice,
battling against heavy oaken doors and
iron bars, and occasionally halted by
the grim stand of little band OF de-
tenders Of law and order under the
command of Sheriff Thompson. A
telegraph pole was used as batterlng
ram No amount of parleying on the
sheriff's part and no plea from his wife
could withstand the mob, which had
but one object in view.
At 2 o'clock Sheriff Thompson sent
for Judge Bookwalter of the circuit
court. who addressed the crowd from
the Jail corridor. He counselled them
to peace and order, and for a minute,
and but for a minute only, his words
were needed. Then
Another Desperate Attempt
was made to reach the cells where the
two men were secreted. Finally Royce
was located, crouching and shivering
with fear. His cell door was quickly
battered down. A score Of hands drag
ged him unceremoniously from hia
hiding place underneath the wooden
bench which serves prisoners as thei,
bed. Half dragged and half pushed
he was hustled into the diningroom
and seated on the table. A rope was
placed over his head, and while part OF
the mob kept close guard over him the
others continued the search for Halls
until he was discovered in another and
more remote portion Of the Jail. Per
haps the most sensational incident o1
the lynching occurred during Judge
Bookwalter's
Address to the Mob.
At first his words produced telling
effect, but the leaders, who are the
most prominent men in the county, re
piled:
Yes, we know the jury will convic
them and give them severe sentence
but Governor Altgeld will pardon then
out. He recently pardoned three brute
you sent up from Champaign count!
for twenty years, and he will pardon
these men. If any other man than Alt
geld was governor wo would not Lynch
these men, but we are determined h
will never have chance to.turn then
