of Indignation
OVER A TERRIBLE CRIME
The Sheriff Will Not Arrest the Sus-
The Sheriff Will Not Arrest the Sus-
pected Person for Fear of .
Lynching Bee, But Will
Prevent Escape

Chicago, ILL.,, July PA special to the
Chronicle from Dallas, Tex, says:
flaming county, rs miles north of Dali
las is in a state of Indignation over a ter
rible crime. An 11-year-old white girl, the
daughter of Alonzo Newton, a farmer, was
found hanging lifeless from tree near the
family home by her father. The child was
left alone in the morning when her father
went to his work.
As soon as Mr.. Newton discovered the
murder of his child he aroused the neigh
borhood. News was sent to Bonham the
county seat, seven miles distant, and Sher-
iff Ribbing's force, the police of the city,
headed by Sheriff Jackson and the citi-
zens, have searched diligently for clue to
the crime. The search was continued all
day and Justice John Steel, acting coroner,
has been holding an official investiga ton.
The people are terribly aroused and
lynching, perhaps two Of them, may be the
outcome. Sheriff Ribbling said tonight:
I'VE can not safely arrest the suspected
persons, because of the excited condition
of the people All l can do is to watch and
prevent the escape"

DON'T GET MINIMUM RATE

Washington, July S-The semi-offleial
statement in Paris that American leather
does not get the minimum rate under the
new reciprocity treaty, although NJ. Me-
lines cabinet offered This rate to American
leather, caused considerable amusement in
official circles here. It is one of the record
ed facts of the recent negotiations that M.
Meline who is not attacking the new
treaty, offered far greater concessions on
American goods than the present ministry
permitted to be inserted in the treaty as
finally formed.
NJ. Meline was at the head of the min
istry during the early stages of the reel
rTocity negotiations, and at that time Com
missioner Kasson received a proposition
from the French authorities that the mini
mum tariff would be granted on the entire
list of American goods sent to France.
This proposition of the Meline government
stood until two weeks ago. although a new
ministry had come into power. The pres
ent ministry decided, however, that the
original offer of the Meline cabinet had
gone too far and as result n new prop
ostion was advanced two weeks ago to
omit from the minimum list large num-
Der of agricultural products, such as
leather, horses, cattle, butter, largely, pro-
duced in France.
In the final draft twenty-four of these
exceptions are made, largely in the inter-

England and the United States-two people
who formerly dared to say that their alli
ance was enforced by important interests of
civilization 1t is now proved on the con-
trary, that they are partners through their
gluttonous habits of barbarity and savage
ness
Thanks to the shameful and gnomini-
Gus opposition of England and the United
States, all nations are free to invent the
most destructive weapons. England ard
the United States, in audaciously assuming
the responsibility of the aggravation of
wars, have put themselves beyond the pale
of civilization. They are filthy nations that
place their personal advantages and their
selfish interests before all the command
ments of civilization and before all the du-
ties of humanity"

COTTON CONDITIONS
Not as Favorable as They Were a
Month Ago

Huntsville, July 2S-(SpeciaD-A cotton
correspondent, writing of the condition Of
the cotton crop in the Tennessee valley.
says:
Cotton conditions can scarcely be consio-
cred as favorable now as they were
month ago. The protracted drouth retarded
the growth of the weed and delayed the
fruiting, which should be well under way.
The continued rains of the past four days
will increase the growth of the plant, but
the threatening weather conditions justify
the fear that the shedding of bolls and
squares, which has already begun, will at
tain serious proportions
There is yet time enough for an average
cotton crop, provided the seasons are rea-
sonable and the frost comes at an average
time, but these provisions may not be real
lied Under the existing circumstances,
the probable yield is IS per cent. of last
years crop.
