Commander Of Transport Refused to ALLOW
Custom.H ouse Men Aboard.

Vallejo, Cal, Feb. 2S.--rhe nava
transport Solace. direct from Manll;
and Honolulu, came to the navy yar
Sunday and the same evening she wa
followed by four customs inspectors
from San Francisco.
When the officers attempted to board
the vessel for the purge Of making a
search for dutiable goods they were
met with protest by Commander
Winslow. who refused them permission
and denied their right to make Il
search.
Under the law. the commander OF b
man.of-war Is recognized as an officer
OF the customs service, and, therefore,
is bound to prevent smuggling Con
sequently his ship is exempt from
visits OF customs officers. Commander
Wlnslow holds that the Solace is also
entitled to such exemption under this
clause. and that is where he differs
from the customs inspectors, who have
already seized several articles that
have been landed from the vessel
Commander Winslow has appealed tc
the collector of the port.
On the last trip Of the Sclace large
quantity OF bric.a brac and Other
goods. brought from China, was con
fiscated by the customs flicials.

Negro Murderer Hanged and then
Burned at Terre Haute.
JAIL DOORS BATTERED IN BY A MOB
Confessed to Shooting and Stabbns Miss Ida
finklestine, a Schoolteacher, Yesterday
She Died From Her Wounds.

Terre ITaute, Ind. Feb. 2s.-At
l2:45 O'Clock today, George Ward,
negro employe OF the car works, was
taken from Jail, hanged and then
burned for the murder of Miss Ida
Finklestein, late yesterday AFTERNOON.
Miss Finklestein was q teacher in u
school near the outskirts OF the city.
and was on her way home from school
when a negro sprang out from clump
OF bushes and gave chase. After run.
ming short distance the negro over
took his victim and shot her. Then
he cut her throat, robbed her of her
pocket book, containing x3, and fled.
More dead than alive, the school
mistress staggered to her home, half u
mile distant. She told her story and
then relapsed into Inconsistencies
At midnight she died.
Public Indignation was tremendous
and posses were at once organized and
secured the country III all directions,
searching for the negro. Early today
Ward was arrested on suspicion. At
first he denied any knowledge OF the
crime. but later confessed, saying the
girl had tainted him about his color,
aud had slapped him in the face, and
in a fit of anger he had shot her and
then cut her throat.
Ward vas placed in jail. and as soon
as the fact became known, a crowd be.
gan ASSEM- bling before the structure
by noon hundreds of people surged
in the street in front Of the Jail de.
mandlng that Ward be delivered to
them. Suddenly the crowd rushd at
the jail door. aud in moment had
battered it down They were driven
back, however. by Jailer o Donnell,
who fired shotgun several times over
their heads Three deputy sheritfs
received slight injuries from the
charges Of shot. but none Of the mob
was hurt.
Arrangements were at once made to
take the prisoner before the court at 3
O. clock to be sentenced. This was
announced to the mob. but did not
appease it. At 1926 the mob again
rushed at the battered front door of the
Jail and swept all resistance aside.
Ward was found crouching in a cell,
aud was dragged out. A rope was
placed around his neck aud he was
dragged to the wagon bridge across the
Wabash river three blocks away. and
hanged to q bridge stringer.
On the way to the bridge the victim
was beaten with sticks and shot at by
tn ON tor. of the mob and he was I'M.
conscious when hanged and in all
probability dead. When the body was
dropped from tie bridge one strand OF
the rope broke and the leaders of the
mob, thinking that their victim IN ght
drop into the river. hauled the body up
again and it was dragged to the west
side of the river and burned.
There was no attempt at disguise on
the part of any member OF the mob.
In all the crowd not one word of sym.
pathy for the wretch was to be heard
though many deprecated the final act
of burning
1t is estimated that 2, 500 people
formed the mob.

but will recover. He was taken out
by friends. All efforts to succor those
farther back have failed. rs the fierce
flames drove the rescuers back. That
all have persisted il without question.
The scenes around the mine were
heartrending. Mothers, wives and
sweethearts were weeping and tearing
their hair in terrible agony. and all
efforts to calm them proved of no
avail. The loss of property will reach
an enormous figure, and. as the Off
cials are very reticent, the amount and
names of those imprisoned are unOb-
tainable at a late hour. The cause OF
the fire is at present unknown. The
mine has been plugged at the sixth
level, about two miles from 3he mouth.

Asuinaldo's Uncle.

Guguinto. Province of Bulacan,
March Jose Serapio, an uncle OF
Aguinaldo, and formerly an insurgent
colonel, has been appointed governor OF
Bulacan province. There were several
including two army ofti.
GERS, but the United States commits.
sion was unanimously in favor of Sera.
pic, who surrendered during General
Lawton's progress northward and who
has since been such a consistent friend
of the United States that Aguinaldo
published an order degrading his uncle.
There were considerable protests
against Serapio's appointment, chiefly
from delegation which represented
the interests OF the frlars. The com.
mission announced that it had investi.
gated the allegations made against
Serapio and found them to be untrue
Captain Greenough. Of the Forty.first
regiment. was appointed treasurer, and
Lieutenant Wells, of the Thirty.second
regiment, WAS appointed supervisor.
The other officials appointed were ma
tives. Al the appointments practical.
~ were made on General Grants re.
commentators.
Although by reputation Bulacan is
not the easiest province to govern, all
the local leaders and most Of the in.
habits nts are now friendly to the
United States. The question of the
selection of a capital for the province
was submitted to the vote of the dele.
cations. Nlalolos. the former seat OF
the insurgent congress-, is the best
town, hut Bulacan has always been
the seat of the government and was
easily first. The ballot was the first
free voting in the Philippines, except.
ing ut the town elections held under
military orders. The delegates en-.
loved it immensely. Judge Taft, in
Adnnonishing the delegates. said that
since they had the reputation Of being
gamesters, they must abide by the
result and show their capability of
abiding by the suffrage.
During the course of his speech an.
nouncing his appointments, Judge Taft
said nowhere had military command
er shown such benevolent consideration
for the interests of the people as had
General Grant. The appointment of a
native governor indicated the commits.
sion's confidence in the Tagals.
The concluding scene Of the commits
sion's visit to the province was most
dramatic. General Grant presented
tu Serapio flag which once belonged
to General Grants father. The Fill.
pinos received the flag enthusiastically,
and cheered General Grant and the
commissioners.

REVIEW OF TRADE.
Activity Is Becoming More Pronounced In ths
Wool Markets.

r. G. Dun & Co. says: Business In
the East and particularly along the
North Atlantic coast has been catching
up with the rest of the country little
this week, so that in the lines where
complaint has been heard of late the
tone is better. This comes from the
working off of retail stocks which the
owners feared would have to be carried
over to next season. In builders
hardware the buying has been nota.
bly, better, and the distribution in
the grocery jobbing trade has
been given a considerable stimulus.
Even the laggard dry goods market has
shown good measure Of improvement,
though in cotton goods there is still
much to be desired, for the larger buy
ing has not brought any improvement
in the general tone, and in some direc-
lions the market is slower than week
ago.
Footwear is firmly held at unchanged
prices, with good buying OF spring
lines in the Boston market. Western
trade is less active and some orders
have been countermanded.
No diminution appears in the move.
ment of iron and steel products. Mills
are rushed with orders and new con-
tracts are taken at full prices. Pig
iron is freely bought and prices tend
upward. Biliets and other partially
manufactured forms are tirmer, and
finished goods would command higher
prices if immediate delivery could be
secured.
Grain markets are devoid of wide
fluctuations. although many reports
are circulated regarding the condition
Of winter wheat, but it is too early to
secure definite information. News
from India and Australia indicate
larger crop than last years.
Failures for the week in the United
States were 253 against 20l last year.
In Canada for the same period they
were 80 against 33 last year.

most remarkable escape from death
today in the history Of mining acct.

The bucket was swung clear and the

fused to work. The men descended at
lightning speed to the bottom. There

through. landing with its human
freight in the stump. One of Yocum's
