HORRORS OF FAMINE
IN STRICKEN INDIA,
Millions Starving Sold by Parents
To Mohantmedans For Money
to Buy Food.

BosToN, April 1.-THE Rev. Rock
well Clancy, missionary at Allahabad.
who is visiting his brother in Medford,
said iii part
"The condition of famine stricken
India today is something perfectly awful
to contemplate. [ cannot tell anything
about the number dying, but when l
left Bombay last February there were
some G0,000,0 900 people suffering and
over 30 ,000,0 600 We're in dire distress and
of these but 100000 We're receiving
government aid.
"When the famine set in people be-
gan to sell everything they had that
they might get a little grain for food.
They took the doors from their houses
and sold them; sold their furniture and
farming utensils and then when they
had no longer anything to sell, they
sold their children. The boys don't sell
well, and the traffic is largely in girls
Il saw girls in one town just before |
came away being sold for 30 cents apiece
But they won't buy the boys, so when
the parents can no longer support their
children they abandon them.

ANTI-LYNGHING Law
CONSTITUTIONAL
Decision Made In Chick Mitchell Case.
at Urbana, o. and Caldwell
Case, at Cleveland.

COLUMBUS, April 17.-The supreme
court declared the anti-lynching law
constitutional. The law provides that
the heirs of any person who is lynehed
may collect S., 900 from the commission
ers in the county in which the affair
occurs. The decision was rendered in
the cases Of Click Mitchell, hanged by a
mob at Urbana, and j. w Caldwell
who was shot and beaten by strikers at
Cleveland. The present law was drawn
by Albion w. Tourges, the celebrated
jurist and novelist. A former law was
declared unconstitutional, because it
fixed specific amount that could be re-
covered as damages.
The Tourgee law simply fixes maxi
mum Of damages that may be collected,
$500 in case of slight injury, 81 900 in
case of serious injury and So, 900 in case
the death of the victim resulted. The
decision III the Caldwell case is a most
important one. Caldwell took the place
of one of the men who went out on a
strike ut the Brown Hosting company's
plant IN Cleveland He was assaulted
by strikers, being hit on the head with
Il glass insulator, and was shot in the
leg. He held that the commissioners
did not afford him the proper protec-
ton and sued. He lost in both the lower
courts. The supreme court reverses both
the lower courts.
