FITZHUGH LEE ON LYNcHING.
Doesn't Believe in It, but Suggests
Argument in It's Favor.

A dispatch to the New York Sun from
Kansas City. Mo. yesterday says: Gen.
Fftzhugh Lee was in Kansas City today on
his way to lecture in Beloit, Kan. Speaking
on lynchiRg. he said:
Il don't believe in lynching. Nobody be-
lieves in lynching Be careful that you get
that right. Nobody does.
However" continued the general, there
is one OF the objects attained by lynching
that is seldom considered. If man. say. a
negro. shall assault a woman. perhaps
some very dear relative Of yours, he has
got to be killed or arrested. II this negro
Is arrested after his crime and is brought
into the court room the woman, the one
who has suffered already. is the principal
witness. She must appear, and perhaps un-
der the cross-examination OF lawyers re-
late even details OF the assault, thus sub
jecting her to humiliation to an extreme
degree"
With this statement, which Gen. Lee did
not make as an argument, he ended the
interview.

TWENTY AUTOS BURNED.
Their Tanks Explode and Tear Roof
From Barn Near Larchmont

The New York Tribune Of today says:
The automobile barn and repair shop own
ed by clifford b. Bonneville. a well known
racing man, In the Boston Post road. be-
tween New Rochelle and Larchmont. was
burned at about IL o'clock last night There
were twenty machines in the barn and all
but three were totally destroyed. The loss
is estimated at about $4,000.
A large party Of automobilists had ridden
out In the evening and were having dinner
In the Automobile Inn. while their machines
were stored in the barn. The fire. It is
supposed. started from the gasolene In one
Of the machines. 1t was discovered by a
night Waterman, who turned In an alarm
at once. but before the Larchmont fire de-
patment arrived the building was almost
destroyed. The owners Of the machines
left their dinner and tried hard to save their
automobiles, but only three were brought
out. and these were badly damaged.
The fire was most spectacular after the
first few minutes. The oil in the place
made the barn burn with great rapidity.
and soon the tanks OF the automobiles be-
gan to explode. Machine after machine
blew up. tearing the roof from the barn
and scattering parts OF the machines fer
considerable distances. Wheels of some
OF the machines were thrown clear through
the top Of the barn. and fell over two hun
dred yards away. The barn, which was
completed only two or three months ago,
was completely destroyed.

PLANTATION, II you have one you care to

For a moment Wren stood staring at his
commander in amaze. He had expected to
be offered opportunity to state the circum-
stances leading to his now deeply deplored
attack on Mr. Blakely. and to decline the
offer on the ground that he should have
been given that opportunity before being
submitted to the humiliation of arrest.
He had intended to refuse all overtures-
to invite trial by court-martial or inves-
tigation by the inspector general but by
no manner OF means to plead for reconsid-
alton now; and here was the post COM

Rivalry Between Carriers.

1t is only natural to expect that whore so
many railroads enter one point there should
be considerable rivalry. and especially be-

is large volume Of freight and passenger

two roads have rate wars. speed contests
and other diversions to attract the public.
