Their troubles nearly all begin with indiges-

NEGRO LYNcHED.- Montgomery God.

NEGRO LYNCHED. Montgomery God
lev. a colored man, was taken from
the jail at Pittsburg, Kansas, yesterday
and lynched by a mob because early
that morning he had shot and killed
Milton Hinkle, policeman, while the
officer was trying to protect himself
against crowd of unruly negroes. At
the first effect to lynch the negro the
rope broke. Some one in the crowd
then cut Godley's throat, severing the
jugular vien. After this he was hanged
a second time. The shooting of Police
man Hinkle occurred at dance which
was attended by large number of ne
gro men and women from neighboring
mining camps. Montgomery Cooley
and his brother were drinking, and had
become very disorderly, when Police
man Hinkle interfered. The negroes
became insulting, and when Hinkle
drew his club to defend himself, Mont
gomery Cooley slipped behind the
policeman, grabbed the officers pistol,
and shot Hinkle behind the ear. The
wounded policeman was carried to the
city hall, where he died several hours
later. The news of the shooting spread
rapidly, and mob gathered in front of
the Jail. The doors were battered in,
and the mob seized Montgomery Cooley,
who, with his brother, had been ar
rested soon after the shooting. They
took the slayer to telephone pole three
blocks away, and there hanged him.
At first the negro was defiant, but just
before he was hanged he begged hard
for his life.

Doctor FAINTs WATCHING LORENz.
Professor Lorenz failed Of success in an
operation for hip trouble at the Children S
Hospital in Boston on Tuesday, but the
subject, boy, was beyond the age limit
set by the surgeon for perfectly satisfac-
tory results. The lad was under the
hands of the doctor for twenty-five min
utes. Then Professor Lorenz decided that
it would be useless to operate further.
He succeeded however, in placing the
crippled limb in position which the
doctors, who witnessed the proceeding,
said would materially help the patient.
DIR. Lorenz expressed the opinion that
if he could have the lad under surveil-
lance for month or two he could make
complete cure. The boy was nineteen
wears old. In two other cases that morn
ing the doctor was entirely successful.
The subjects were girls, one three and a
half years old, and the other seven.
The first operation took three minutes
and the other five. The unsual force
employed by DR.. Lorenz in the first case
made such an impression on one OF the
doctors present that the unusual specta-
Gle was witnessed of a physician fainting
in the operating room. A second physi-
clan was nearly overcome. AT noon DR..
Lorenz met about three hundred physi-
clans and surgeons, besides several well
known citizens of Boston, at ali informal
luncheon at the New Algonquin Club.
Among those present were Governor
Crane and Mayor Collins. During the
afternoon the doctor was taken on tour
of the city.

Mrs. RoosEvELT's PRESENTS. The
most interesting of the numerous pres
ents received at the White House was
the souvenir presented to Mrs. Roosevelt
by the Cabinet ladies. The gift is an
exquisite gold net purse set with dia-
monds and sapphires. In dainty en-
craving on the face is the inscription,
"Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt" and On the
inner lining, "From the ladies OF the
Cabinet, December %, 1902" The
purse is the work of Tiffany, and is en-
closed in a white leather box OF
enameled alligator skin. The Cabinet
women spent much time and reflection
in selecting this gift. They petitioned
the President and every member OF the
Roosevelt family to discover something
Mrs. Roosevelt especially desired. They
were informed that she greatly admired
a similar purse, and Mrs. Hay was I'M
mediately commissioned to engage
Tiffany to reproduced one which would
be a very gem ofits kind. The pattern
is unique, and will not be duplicated.
II is understood that the Presidents gilt
to his wife was a diamond ornament in
the shape of spray or aigrette for her
headdress. Miss Alice also received
diamond earrings to match the brooch
given last Christmas by her father.
HOUSE BLOWN UP.-The house OF
Robert Floyd, two miles east of Man
nington, w. Va, was blown up with
nitroglycerine early Wednesday morn
ing. Mr.. Floyd was killed and his
wife and two children were seriously in
iured. The crime, which was one OF
the most atrocious in the CRIMINAL
annals of the State, seems to be inexplica-
bic. The Floyds, well-to-do and
peaceful citizens, lived in an isolated
spot, and, so far as known, had no
enemies. At first it was supposed that
an attempt was made TO secure the
money in the house about S2,O00-
but this was not touched. The explosive
was showed under the floor, near the
sleeping-rooms of the family. That part
of the house was demolished. Mr..
Floyd, who was rs years of age, was

HOW THE FIRE STARTED.
Guests Carelessness May Have
Caused Empire Hotel Deaths.

Ben Swingley. son and secretary TO the
Chief of the Fire Department. said yes'er-
day that the fire in the Empire Hotel early
Sunday morning evidently started on the
first floor. and not In the basement. In his
opinion. some guest absent-minded!y tossed
II match or cigar to the carpet In the main
corridor. near the front door Of No. 2.cp
Olive street. thus creating the couflagration
that destroyed eleven lives.
Guests of the hotel who survived the holo-
caust believed embers in the basement iB-
nited teather-bed ticks which were stored
under the stairway. This theory. however.
Is entirely east aside by experts who ex-
amined the building. Secretary Swinsley' >
idea meets with general confirmation.
Had the fire originated in the basement.
the flames would have first scorched the
under side of the first floor and would have
burned the lower steps Of the basement
stairway before attacking the steps iiear
the first floor. 1t appears on the contrary.
that the part of the first floor on which
the carpet rested was burned before the
under side was scorched. Furthermore, IL
large hole in the floor. near the front door
and at the bottom of the stairway of No.
ZOO. seems to show that the fire began at
some spot in the corridor, between the
front parlorS.

Mayor Wells took steps yesterday toward
ascertaining through whose fault fire es-
capes had not been constructed on the En-
pire Hotel building, at Beaumont and Olive
streets in which eleven lives were lost
early Sunday morning.
At conference with Building Commis-
sioner I-ongfellow the Mayor was in
formed that escapes had never been pro-
vided for the building. although 1t was one
of those which comes within the scope Of
the law.
If facts and circumstances warrant, the
Mayor SAYS he will institute proceedings
against persons whose violation Of the law
may have caused the holocaust

parsue'' said Mayor Wells but the in

Complaint was made to the Mayor that
Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Johnson has

ors of the law. OF this the Mayor says: Il
did not know that any cases had been re-

ncy for action. My impression was that in
spections had not been generally made:
Now, however. 1t seems that quite num-

Undertaking Company and removed to the
Walsh Undertaking Company shortly after
noon yesterday. The writ OF repIevin was
secured only after wordy war between
Mrs. Duffy and Undertaken Charles Kurrus
in the morning. after the latter had re-
ceived telegram from William Greenlee,
the father of the dead man. to prepare the
body for shipment. Justice of the Peace p
J. Mckane issued the writ of replevin ant,
the case will be fought this morning in his,
court.
Undertaker NJ. J. Walsh says that he has
nothing TO do with the fight as he AYERS
that Mrs. Duffy. the proprietress OF the
boarding house where Greenlee lived for
the two months that he had been a resident
Of East st. Louis, took the initiative and
secured the body on writ of replevin and
turned 1t over to him. He says that he has
completed the steps necessary for its prep
aration for burial and that he awaits or
ders for the shipment of the body. This

quest. which was started yesterday morn
ing by Corener McCracken and was con-
tinusd because of the absence OF a witness

lively legal battle this morning as the re-
suit of the replevin proceedings and IT is
expected that precedent will be estab-
lished in like matters as the result of the

fore the end OF the inquest
The inquest was continued yesterday
after several witnesses had been examined
because Fred J. Wenel. the chaffeur which
had charge of the automobile at the time of
the accident. was not present. The jurors
visited the automobile stable. examined the
vehicle on which Greenlec was killed, and
also examined the height of the railroad
structure over the wagon roadway at the
point of the accident. The Jurors, after
making careful measurement. computed
the distances and. It is said, arrived at the
result that the lower steelwork Of the
bridge which caused Greenlee's DEATH
would have struck him three feet below
