CHASED BY A MOB.
A Dusky Thief Narrowly Escapes
Lyncbing.

Chicago. Aug. l7.-William Fillua,
colorcd man from Nashville, Tenn,
came dangerously near being lynch
ed in the street last night. He had
snatched a poctetbook from woman
and led the police long chase
through the alleys and down town
streets. During his fight he fired
three times at the police and the
crowd which followed the officers IN
the pursuit. He was finally caught
in front of the Great Northern hotel,
where he crawled under a horse which
was standing by the hotel entrance.
" lille the officers were taking their
prisoner to the police station they
were followed by a crowd fully JO9
strong which shouted Hang him,
Lynch him, Take him away"
The officers halted at Madison and
Clark streets to wait for the patrol
wagon and the crowd made Il dcspcr-
ate effort to take Fikua from them.
Ropes were procured and if the col
ored man had been taken from the
police he would certainly have been
hanged. The police used their clubs
vigorously and after hard fight
managed to get the prisoner to the
patrol wagon. which made a success
full dash through the crowd.

DEATH OF A RAILWAY KING
G. =. Huntington Succumbs TO an At
tack of Heart Disease.

New York, Aug. 15-Collis +.
Huntington. president of the South
ern Pacific Railroad Co., died at finc
Knot camp, near Durant, on Rae
quette lake in the AdiroHdacks, early
Tuesday morning, supposedly from
heart disease.
In addition to his other vast inter
ests. Mr. Huntington enjoyed the rep
utation of being one of the largest,
if not the largest, single landowner
in this country. OF his entire real
estate holdings, the property owned
by him in cities was only small
part. He also held title to large
farming tracts as well as to vast I'M
developed areas in California, Ken
lucky and West Virginia and in Mex
leo and Guatemala.
Wall street estimated Mr.. Hunt
ington's wealth at $l2,0O0,00O to $40
100000 He h,,,. ueen at times the
largest borrower in the money cen
ter and in 1894 was so involved that
rumors were current that his failure
was threatened. But in the last six
years he had reduced his obligations.
Probably the best informed man on
Mr.. Huntington's affairs is Russell
Sage, the streets biggest money lend
er. Mr.. Sage said some significant
things about his dealings with Mr.
Huntington yesterday. In referring
to Henry Clews' estimate that Mr.
Huntington was worth S40,000.00O, he
said: You can cut that in half"
Harwinton. Conn, Aug. 15.-The
boyhood of Coils II. Huntington was
spent in Harwinton, where he was
born. October %. 1921, in a dilapida-
ted house in the Poverty Hill district.
The old house has been unocoupied
for many years and is in the last
stage of decay. His mother was a
hard working Christian woman, but
the father was a man in whose make
up ambition had no part. He was a
tinker" and travelled about the
country mending umbrellas, sharpen
ing razorS, etc.
Just before Mr.. Huntington was II
years old he started on the road as
Deddler of tinware. He never
again returned to Harwinton 20 make
his home, but 15 years ago he re-
turned to his native town and erect
ed a memorial to his mother. The
memorial was in the form of mas
sive granite chapel, erected at cost
of $4,000.
san Francisco, Aug. 15.-Public Adj
ministrator Boland yesterday applied
for letters of administration upon the
estate of Coils =. Huntington in this
city. Judge Bahrs refused to grant
the order, characterizing the appli-
cation as ''unduly haSty."

COATS A WIRE WITH ICE.
Inventor Tesla Claims TO Have Solved
the Problem Of Complete Electrical
InsuiatiOn,

New York, Aug. IA patent has
been granted to Nikola Tesla for an
invention which, if his claims are
borne out, will prevent the escape
Of electricity from wire.
Tesla's invention, it is claimed.
solves the Insulation problem in a
simple manner. He insulates the wire
by passing through it--or near it
air kept at a low temperature, pro-
ducing "A coat of ice on the wire,
which, the inventor finds by repeated
md extensive experiments, cannot be
broken through by the strongest cur
rents and at the same time gives IN
insulation that costs practically moth
ing.
BY means of this latest discovery
the loss of electricity or electrical
energy in transmission, it is claimed,
can be rendered so small as to be
insignificant and power can be trans
mittcd to great distances by means
of underground wires.

FLAG FOR CHURCHES
Devised by Bishop Leighton Cole-<
man of Delaware Diocese.
He Thinks the Followers of Chrisa
Should Float nm Emblem of Their
Own-Hus Some Relation to
National Flag.

Bishop leighton Coleman, of the
Episcopal diocese of Delaware, is a
churchman of original and progressive
ideas. He is full of resources for the
extension of church work, and the GEN.
tralization of its interests. His latest
device to advance both purposes is Il
project to introduce u general church
flag, about which all forces can rally
and be stimulated to renewed endeav-
ors in the interests of the mutual work
He has, therefore, adopted a suitable
emblem for his own church, and hopes
tosee general flag ultimately chosen,
says the Philadelphia Times.
This is how he views the flag and the
good it will accomplish:
I'VE all know the power of flag.
How it appeals to our better nature,
and bestirs US to lively remembrance
and to heroic deeds. For ages the state
all over the world has its flag of va
rious hues and designs, according to
race and nationality. Indeed, it is one
of the first things which a new govern
mept adopts.
why should the church be without
q flag? For some time | have been
thinking over the matter, and at last,
with the valued aid Of Two friends. who
are experts in heraldry determined
upon a design which has been thor
oughly well executed in bunting by a
widely known Philadelphia firm.
Il wanted something which, while it
had a relation to our national flag,
should have about it something essen
TALLY ecclesiastical. The cross in the
white field is in shape what is known
as bishops cross, its arms forented-

BOMBARD THE CLOUDS.
A Consular Report Tells of Method
i'm Vogue In France that Protects
VINEYARDS from Hail storms.

Washington, Aug. 15.-To protect
their vineyards against the rayages
of hail stones, the vine growers OF
southern France attack approaching
storm clouds with vollcys of fire from
powder-charged cannon until the
cloud is finally dssipatcG and the
danger TO their crops is averted. This
practice of shooting at the clouds or
iginated in Italy and was known in
France over 100 years ago, says Uni
ted States Consul Covert at Lyons,
in a report upon this subject TO the
state department, but it is 10 be more
extensively employed this year than
ever before.
F'ifty-two cannon, manned by 1O4
cannoneers and their chiefs, have
been distributed over an area of $500
acres of rich vine land. \ high point
is selected as the central post of OBJ
servatiOn. At the approach of the
destructive hail cloud, shot is fired
from this post and at this signal all
the remaining cannon are fired, twice
a minute at first, and then more
slowly after the first ten shots.
This ''bombarding of the heavens"
is almost invariably successful and all
places in France heretofore ravaged
by hail, it is said, are to be provided
with storm attacking artillery.
The expense of the experiments so
far has been borne partly by the gov
ernmcnt, the National French Agri-
cultural society, ana a number of
wealthy wine growers. The French
minister of war has supplied powder
for 2M cents a pound.

AMERICAN CHURCH FLAG.
designed by the Patriotic Bishop of Del
alvarez
It's color is, of course, purple, as being
the bishops color. 1t is surrounded on
the right and left by seven bars, the
number seven being the mystical num-
Der of perfection. My chief idea in
having this flag is that it may serve as
an object lesson to all who pass by and
see it.
1T will be unfurled only on special
church days. Those will include all
the chief festivals of the church, saints
days great ecclesiastical anniversaries,
etc. So that when people see it flying
they will be led to inquire why it has
been raised on that particular day, and
will find out what the festival is, or
what prominent event is commemor-
ated.
''It flies from a fine pole over 50 feet
high erected at the exterior extremity
of my beautiful little chapel. The har-
mony and effectiveness of the various
colors will be at once acknowledged
by those who see this handsome banner.
''Its size is nine feet six inches square.
This shape rather than the oblong was
preferred as being more ancient and
heraldic, and as being more serviceable
in the wind"
The bishop first displayed his flag on
ST. Bartholomew day, when it was
swung out to the breeze from the high
pole situated in beautiful Bishopstead.

Brandywine creek, at Wilmington,
Del
Since then it has waved continuously
and has served to attract attention to
the place and to its occupant. Such
attention has aroused inquiry and de-
veloped new interest in the organiza-
tion of the church and in its work and
has undoubtedly served to stimulate
the members of the church to renewed
efforts and endeavors.
Not only this. but it has given them
something tangible to take hold of and
defend. 1t is the symbol of their work
and represents something real and per-
sonal to every individual churchman.
The natural result is the unification
of the membership and more defer
mined and concerted body standing
ready to confront and combat opposi-
ton.
There is little doubt that a similar
result would be brought about with the
general church if adopted. The same
rule would hold good for it as for the
individual institution.
At any rate, this is Bishop Coleman's
idea. 1t has proven plausible enough
to attract the attention of number
of other prominent churchmen, with
the result that the plan will be seri-
ously considered. If they decide that
it is practicable it will undoubtedly be
