that the elevation in the bridge
necessary to accommodate the over

and practicable, and that it Will III

7. !. Philibrown, the assistant
/ engineer of the Sunbury Division OF

that the plans of the bridge were
correct mechanically, for an over

clearance. The last witness was L.

A NEW BOARD
OF STRATEGY
Army and Navy to Cooperate in
Plans for Defense and
Offense.
ID
Secretaries Root and Moody Decide
Upon Means at Meeting
t. Held Yesterday.
Plan of Defense for Panama Canal
Will Be Devised by Joint
Board. =,
New York Sun Special Service.

New York Sun Special Service.
Washington, July 11.-Secretaries Root
and Moody held an important conference
yesterday. during which they discussed
the appointment Of joint board OF army
and navy officers to devise plans for the
national defense and for fortifying the
Panama canal. This board will be ap-
pointed when the general staff OF the
army begins It's work at the retirement OF
General Miles on Aug. g.,
Representatives of the army will be de-
tailed from the general staff, and those
of the navy will be selected from the
general board of the navy, Of which Ad-
miral Dewey is a member. The chief
object of the Joint board will be to insure
the cooperation Of the army and navy
in devising and executing plans Of cffense
and defense in times of war. and particu-
larly the harmonious conduct Of opera
lions at naval stations, where forttf1ca-
tions and land defenses have been estab-
lished by the army, AS will be the case
in Cuba at Guantanamo and Bahia Honda.
The most important topic which will be
brought to the commissions attention is
the fortifying Of the canal. While little
attention has been devoted to this sub
ject by army and navy officers. enough
has been said to denote considerable
difference Of opinion. Army officers think
that forts to be garrisoned by artillerymer
should be erected at the entrance to the
canal, while many navy officers hold that
the duty Of guarding the waterway should
be intrusted to a fleet. The joint com
mission will discuss thoroly this subjec,
and will report a scheme which can be
put into operation without causing fric
ton between the military and nava
sarytces

BREAKS JAIL
Gilbert Mullen, Accused of Murder
0verpowers Sheriff and Escapes
With Confederates.

Junction City, Kan, July 11.-Gilbert
Mullen, the federal prisoner who led the
mutiny at the Fort Leavenworth prison in
November, 1901 and who has been in the
county jail here for the past year await
ing trial on the charge Of having murdered
one of the guards in the mutiny, led an
assault on Sheriff Peeso. early to-day
and he, with three others, white man
and two negroes escaped. The sheriff
was overpowered and badly cut about the
head, but he succeeded in getting the cell
door closed before all five prisoners could
get out.
The quartet ran thru the eastern part
of town toward the river and, compelling
a fisherman to row them to the other
side, made for the thicket. The sheriff
followed in a buggy and posses were
quickly organized. Later: soldiers were
sent over from Fort Riley to assist in the
hunt. Shortly before noon two of the
negroes were captured and returned to
Jail. Sheriff Peeso, altho badly injured,
is still leading the party Mullins, a
negro is a desperate man and will put up
a hard fight.
In the Fort Leavenworth outbreak
twenty-six prisoners escaped, Mullins and
nearly all the others finally. being cap
tureds after desperate fight in which
Guard J.. 3. Waldrupe and several of the
convicts were killed.

RACE RIOT IN
A LABOR CAMP
japanese and Mexicans Have Five
Days Battle-Four Are Dead,
Many Wounded. s.

Los Angeles, Cal, July 11.-A bloody
battle between 100 Japanese and the same
number Of Mexicans has been raging for
five days on the desert between Barstows
and victorville. Four are reported dead
and about fifty wounded, and the end OF
the struggle Is not in sight. The COM
batants were employed by the Santa Fe
railroad, laying new rails, and the COM
pany has been forced to suspend opera
lions in that section. e. = =, -
The Japanese and the Mexicans had
been working peacably side by side for
some time, but on Monday Japanese
made an insulting remark about Mexican
and the right began. 70 ....s
When the two workmen came to blows,
sides were quickly formed and battle
lines drawn. Tools used in railroad build
ing and boulders from the bottom Of the
Mojave river were the weapons and in a
few minutes many heads were cracked.
The Japanese finally were driven across
the river, amid showers of stones, almost
as effective as bullets, their leader re-
naming in front to the last.
Both sides are entrenched behind piles OF
sand and many sallies have been made
since, but the attacking force invariably
has been repulsed. Two men were killed
Friday, when the Japanese earthworks
were stormed by the Mexicans.
The foreman is making every effort to
patch up truce, but the men seem deter
mined to fight while any are left, and It
| may be necessary to call out the state
troops to quell the fighters.
Mexicans all over the section are de-
veloping a fierce hatred of the Japanese.

VACATION STUDY

He calls attention to what he thinks
was the first, or one of the first cases
of outrage in the north It occurred In
the summer of 1865, while the One Hun
dred and Fourteenth New York volun-:
teers were en- route home to be mustered
out. One of the camp followers of the
regiment was a negro from the south.
One day in August this negro assaulted
an aged white woman who was picking
blackberries in the woods of Chenango
county, New York She reported the
case; to a deputy sheriff who lived near,
her home, and within an hour after the
commission of the crime the negro was
under arrest He was taken to Norwich,
the county seat, five miles distant where
the court was in session, an Indictment
was returned Immediately, a trial fol-
lowed, and twelve hours after the crime
the negro was on his way to prison to
serve a life term, that being the maxi
mum penalty for that crime In that state.
Laws Delay Responsible.
eff the Delaware courts had been as
swift to insure the carrying out of the
law" says Mr.. Powers, there would not
have been rioting in Wilmington recent
ly; and in fact the majority of cases OF
lynching in the north have grown out of
the failure of the courts to administer
the law promptly In Delaware, for in
stance, the courts said that to call a
| special grand jury to consider the Will
mington outrage would break a long es-
tablshed precedent, and while they were
explaining why the special call could not
| ISSUE the lynching and burning took
place, the populace evidently being of the
opinion that justice was to be slow, and
was possible to miscarry, on that &C
| count.
1.-The cause Of lynchings in the north
lies not so much with the law, or with
the people, as with the courts The
breaking occasionally of a precedent
would work wonders in convincing people
that there is a legal way In which to Sc.
cure the prompt punishment of offender.
of this character. Where justice is SLOW
and hesitating, the people are more likely
to take the law into their own hands.
do not now recall lynching in the nortf
where there was a prospect of a speed!
1 trial. The laws delay is perhaps a soot
thing in some cases. but there is one Of
Tense to which the American people evi
IDENTIFY will not permit 1t to apply"
