The fact that not a single arrest was

Rock Islands rising generation on
Hallow 'een-an occasion on which it
has been the custom in bygone years
for boys to congregate under the pale
of darkness and go about annoying
citizens, in many instances working
serious damage to property.
As time rolls on the outdoor observ-
ance of the festival grows more civil.
Last night, of course, the boys-and
the girls, too-were out. as usual,
but they contented themselves with
harmless pranks-at least, no real
bad things have been heard of.

MYSTERIOUS TALL MAN

The testimony of all the other witnesses
was to the same effect. All agreed that
the leader of the gang was a very tall lean
fellow, who was disgllised in his dress and
who had mask over his face The fact
was brought out in this case, as in other
lynchings on the Eastern Shore, that the
leader was a tall man who could not be
identified. The testimony in the Somer-
set Caroline lynchiugs was to the effect that
tail man led the gang. 4 tall man for
such leadership seems to be popularity

the lynching case of the young negro Car
field King, who was killed by mob in
Salisbury Wednesday last week. Ex-Sen-
ator E. Stanley Toadvn was one of the
important witnesses. He testified that he
entered the Jail as soon as the door was
broken open to try and save the prisoner
by reasoning with the frenzed crowd, and
also to protect four other colored men who
were in another cell and who were clients
of his. The ex-senator said it was impos-

lighted corridor, and that many of the men
had their faces either BACKED or covered
with red.

HARD TO FIND CAMPS.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 17.-colonel Heck
ers Investigation 'nto the situation in
Cuba has been Of great value to the de-
partment. His primary object was ito
locate camps for the occupation Of the
troops. A-e0Aditions that he found. II
is said. thoroughly warrant the belief
that the war department win be obliged
to face the most difficult problems that
have yet arisen in connection with the
handling Of troops in order to protect
the health OF the soldiers.
1t has become evident that the men
must be Isolated for some time in their
camps to avoid the danger OF infection.
While the wet season has now almost
reached an end in Cuba. 1t is said yell
low fever is more prevalent and more
dangerous in type just now than at any
other time during the year. The propO-
sition that is now under consideration
looks to the employment of Cubans as
local gendarmes.
