bination to charge exorbitant rates
during the Inauguration week, Chair
man Bell of the Inauguration commit
tee authorizes an explicit denial of the
report. Chairman Bell said:
Il have caused a diligent inquiry to
be made of the different hotels, and
find the story to be absolutely untrue.
So far as l can find. no hotel proposes
to charge more than the usual rates at
such times
All indications point to the largest
crowd ever seen in Washington at any
Inauguration. and preparations are
well under way for the entertainment
and care of the visitors upon that oc-
casion and with the well known ability
of Washington to properly handle large
crowds no fears need be entertained of
extcrtion or lack of accommodations
for all who may come.

The Adairville mob came into town

entrance soon gave way before the on

The keeper OF the Jail was forced, on
the peril of his life being taken also, to
deliver the keys to the Proctor cells to
the mob's leaders. The victims had been
apprised of the coming of the lynchers

a volley of bullets was fired at him.
Then one man entered and placing his
gun at Proctor's head, pulled the trigger,
Killing him instantly. Then the mob
turned toward the cell of ''Dink" Proctor
and his son Arch. They were taken from
their cells without resistance. the jailer's
