IT'S WORK is NEARLY DONE.
Explosive Bullets and Asphyxiating
Gases WIZ Still be Used

The Hague, July 21.-Baron De eStaal,
President OF the plenary session OF the
International Peace Conference today
placed tn. final seal upon the labors
of the first committee The first point
of NJ. Van Karnebeck' report dealing
with prohibition of dropping explosives
from balloons was unanimously agreed
to.
The second point, prohibition of the
use of asphyxiating projcctiles, was
agreed to by all except the United States
and Great Britain whose abstentlon
nullifies the agreement of the others.
The third point which relates to ex-
banding bullets occupied tine major part
of the sitting. owing to the question of
the dum-dum bullet used by the British
army. Sir Julian Paumcefote expressed
regret that the plenary session had been
so suddenly summoned, as the British
Government had intended to make Il
statement regarding the drlnlrdlrm haIl-
let. The conference agreed to leave the
minutes OF the session open for the in
serton of the British statement.
Mr.. Andrew ID. White, the head of the
| United States delegation then made an
| important speech in opposition to profi-
bitten of such bullets as the dunn rum.
Mr.. Whites arguments made great
| impression upon the delegates, especially
when he explained that the adoption OF

vent the use OF another bullet, which

would attain the same end as the dunn.

Ex-President johnson objects to state

quoted as saying after referring to the
strikers charged with blowing mp the
Fifth Avenue Elevated structure with
dynamite:

Tallulah, La. July 21.--Five Italians
were lynche,l here last night for the
fatal wounding of Dr. j. Ford Hodge.
The dead men are of a class which
has been troublesome for some time and
it is believed that they had planned
to. kill the Doctor. Some of them, t
is said, have families in Europe, but
they have no relatives here.
The dead are:
FRANK DEFATTA.
CHARLES DEFATTA.
10. DEFATTA.
SY DEFFEItkOCH.
JOHN CERENO.
For several weeks lot OF goats be-
longing to Frank Defatta have been
sleeping and running ON the gallery of
DIR. Hodges office and residence. The
Doctor on numerous occasions requested
j the owner to keep his goats penned up,
but he would not do it. and on the
night of the 10Th DIR. Hodge shot one
Of them. Early next morning Frank
said to the Doctor: "You shoot my
goat. now you better shoot me-" The
Doctor ordered him to leave and De-
fatta left, mumbling something which
the doctor did not understand
DIR. Hodge took his meals at the resi-
dence of Mr.. Kaufman and had to
pass 10 Defatta's shop in going there.
About shutdown last evening the doctor
and Mr.. Kaufman started to supper,
and as they got to JOS store Mr.. Kauff-
mann. who was in the lead, says Charles
Defatta was sitting on the steps and
Il n CT IN, ST. r.
mann spoke to them, but neither Of the
Italians returned the greeting. AS Dir.
Hodge passed, Charles jumped up and
said: You shoot my goat" and struck
the doctor. DIR. Hodge attempted to re-
pei the attack by striking back with his
fist. but finding the Sicilian too much for
him attempted to draw his pistol. 10
Defatta at the door pulled II double
barrelled shot gun and fired two loads
into the doctor, striking him in his
hands and abdomen. Immediately on
the crack of the gun Frank Defatta,
Sy Defatta and John Cereno. who were
in Defatta's shop in front started on u
run. to JOS store with shot guns and
long knives in their hands
Court was in session and large crowd
of country people were in town. With
The grand jury which investigated the
occurrence reported tonight as follows:
1T is evident from the facts brought
to our knowledge that the men who
were lynehed, had formed conspiracy
to assassinate DR.. Hodge, and the mob
learning of the facts took the law into
their own hands. After diligent inquiry
we have not been able to learn the names
or indemnity Of any of the men compos-
ing the mob"
