sharp Criticism Not a Libel.

The Plymouth (England) Morning
News criticised unfavorably a comic
musical play called THE Major,
which was produced in that city. 1t
cannot truthfully said that the criti-
cism was either brilliant or profound;
it was not entertaining.
The newspaper said that few in the
audience left the concert hall with
any degree of satisfaction; that "al-
though The Major had been describ-
ed as a play it was composed of moth
ing but nonsense of a not very hui
morous character" that 'the comedy
would be improved if it had a sub
stantial plot and if some of the sorry
stuff were taken out of it, and it was
intimated that the actors with sin
gle exception were no better than the
piece in which they appeared.
There was nothing any worse than
this in the article, but Mr.. Mcguire,
the author. sued the newspaper for
libel an obtained a Judgment for
$500 damages. The publisher took the
case up to the court Of appeals, and
the Judgment was reversed.

The Chicago Record Herald calls at

the recent judicial election, and says:
Gov. Yates and his friends have tried
To make the circuit bench in various
country districts an appendage of their

canvass. have been given the same
sort of answer that William Lorimer
and his followers received in Cook -
The Record Herald then sums up the
resultSand the political significance of
the judicial contest throughout the
state and in conclusion remarks:
Defeat of Justice j. y. Carter by
Guy c. Scott in the Fourth supreme
judicial district is attributed to the
methods of the Yates machine-its
refusal to help in judicial or other
elections unless delegates or
members of the legislature are at
stake. Justice Carter does not de-

and Mercer county, ordinarily repub-

democratic state central committee
worked night and day for Scott, and
spent money to get out the vote Re
publicans in the district never heard
of the republican state central com
mittee until few days before cleo
ton. when some of them received a
circular letter expressing the hope
that Carter would be elected. The
city elections in Springfield and Dan
vile last spring have been cited
through the state as other results of
the governors machine work In
both cities, normally republican. ma
jOrities were obliterated for no other
reason than because the governor and
his direct representatives had dictated
nominations.

One touching illustration of the
truth of the biblical injunction,
Cast thy bread upon the waters" is
shown by the prompt impulse of the
people of Galveston to send money
and supplies to the families of To-
peka and Kansas City suffering by
flood and fire in life and property. The
Texan city had poured in upon it in its
days of awful desolatiOn unstinted
contributions from national. state,
city and individual sources. Ora titude
is a noble trait proceeding from the
single heart, or that grander organ,
the nation, and Galveston in thus
quickly responding to the certain
need of stricken community exem-
plifies the American character. Hor-
rible as is the disaster in the west,
hemming in people by rising waters
only to perish by fire due TO modern
appliances Of electricity, more shock
ing is the reflection that safety might
have been secured by needing the
warning of the coming flood. Reli-
ance upon past gauges of high water
and attachment to home seem to have
caused the havoc.

CATION of the charges preferred against

ney William Bosson to summon Harry b.

EVANSVILLE. Ind. Monday, July g.
Progressive disorder marked the passage of
Sunday and Sunday night, growing out of
the murder of Patrolman Massey by the
negro Robert Lee, and eliminating in two
attacks on the Vanderburg Jail, the batter
ing in of one entrance TO the jailyard, the
temporary routing of the mob by the police,
the call of the sheriff for troops and a
number of detached ARRAYS between ne
groes and white men in various parts Of the

Following the first attack on the Jail
at 2:3O o'clock Sunday morning the mob
soon gathered again in increased num-
bers and with a telephone pole battered
down the iron gate at the right of the jail
yard Once in this passage an attack was
made on the side door that leads to the
jail corridor Sheriff Kratz offered no re-

and without shot the mob was forced
into the street and temporarily dispersed.
There was hurrying and skurrying of the
leaders of the mob and their willing mes
sengers. and by a little after o'clock an
other attack in increased force, was made
on the side entrance to the Jail. The police
fired no shots. but by pushing and some use
of the batons again forced the mob from
the vicinity BY o'clock it had dispersed.
the members promising to return better pre-
pared for its purpose.
Sheriff Kratz took advantage of the re-
spite to hurry the prisoner. under heavy
guard, to vincennes for safekeeping. The
Knox county Jail is new and strong. and II
is believed that even if the mob should
transfer the scene of its activities to the
that place it would find its efforts unavail-
ing.
During the day there was evidence of in
creased friction between the blacks and the
whites. The efforts of the mobs of white
men and boys to lynch Lee had aroused the
anger of the negroes. and in some cases
there were crowds of white boys attacking
of armed negroes gathered here and there
in the city. and in the afternoon they made

Running I'm Play Before His Father,
the Tiny Child Sprang I'm Front
of the Street Car.
RICHARD NOE SERIOUSLY HURT IN
ATTEMPTING TO RESCUE SON.
Child's Legs Amputated at st. Vim
cents and He May Not Survive the
Shock-Father's Condition.

CyriI Noe, the two-year-old son of Rich
ard Noe, sc East Carson street, was run
over by a South Meridian street car last
night and was probably fatally injured.
Both legs were crushed off at the knees
and should the child withstand the oper-
alton which was necessary. it will probably
die from the shock. Richard Noe, the ia
ther. who was with the child at the time
of the accident, was slightly injured, suffer-
ing a cash cut in his forehead and frac-
ture of several bones in his left hand as the
result of his efforts to save his child from
being ground to pieces under the rapidly
moving car.
Mr.. Noe, with his boy, had been calling
on friends on South Meridian street, and
were on their way home when the acci-
dent occurred. The boy, who is general
favorite with all who know him, was run
ming along the street in front of his Ia
ther and ran directly before a rapidly-ap-
preaching car. The car was 100 feet away
at the time, but was running at a high
rate of speed.
FATHER SPRANG TO HIS AID.
Mr. Noe seeing the peril the boy would be
in if he failed to move off the track. ran
and grabbed him from in front Of the car,
but was himself struck in the head by the
running board and knocked to one side,
while the baby boy fell under the wheels.
A bystander picked the injured child up
and carried him into the Office of DIR. A.
Storch, at 1872 South Meridian street, which
was directly across the street from where
the accident occurred. The doctor rendered
temporary medical attention and called for
the City Dispensary ambulance and the
Vincent's Hospital in charge of DR.. Crock
EFT.
Both legs of the boy were amputated al
the Hospital last night above the knees,
but little hope was expressed by the doctors
for it's recovery.
The condition of the father is not serious,
but the shock from seeing his boy ground
under the wheels of the street car may
drive him insane. He raved during the en-
tire night and 1t was necessary TO have e
doctor constantly at his side.
The car which ran over the boy, was No.
756 of the Meridian street line and was
i'm charge Of Motorman John H. Parker, OF
122 North West street, and Conductor John
D. Newman, of 234 Ray street. Both men
say the accident was unavoidable.

them away Here and there white man or
boy was attacked and forced to fee.
AS Sunday evening wore on the crowds
increased and by o'clock nearly 1000 per-
sons were gathered in front of the Jail. Sew
eral attempts were made to organize the
mob for an attack, but without avail. Many
infiammatory speeches were made. One
negro in the crowd fired a revolver and
caused stampede. Several hundred men
and boys made a rush for him, but he es-
capped. Probably a dozen shots were fired
at him, but no one was injured. Other
negroes were severely beaten. Two negroes
were rescued by the police from their as
sailants
About this time Sheriff Kratz appealed to
Governor Durbin to call out the militia.
The Governor ordered Captain Blum to as
semble the local troops and hold them in
readiness.
The mob in front of the Jail at II o'clock
had increased to nearly 5000 people and
rioting was still going on. Sheriff Kratz
gave the mob permission to send a commit
tee through the jail. and six men were Sc
lected for this task. They were unable to
find the negro.
Several negroes were assaulted later. A
white boy was shot while on his way home
by a negro, but was not seriously hurt.
People were astir in all parts of the city
and there was a general fear that trouble
was at hand.
attack on Claude Maley, a white man. Sew
eral shots were fired at him but none took
effect The negroes were heavily armed.
Another committee went through the Jail
but the mob was unsatisfied. The mob Sc
cured a battering ram and tried to batter
in the side of the Jail. Several hardware
stores were broken into for firearms.
At 1:3O o'clock there was still considerable
excitement in the downtown sections. The
second committee selected from the bowling
mob in front of the Jail reported that it had
made a close inspection of the Jail. includ-
ing every closet, had examined every pris-
oner and passed through the tunnel leading
from the Jail to the courthouse, and had
even inspected the courthouse, and was
convinced that the negro murderer was not
to be found.
Just before this report was made an open
ing was effected in the side of the Jail, and
the crowd began to pour in. The committee
appealed to the excited men and was
listened to. Later the intruders retired.
Speeches were then made urging that the
mob secure a special train and go to Vim
cennes.
About this time reports were received
that negroes were bushwhacking white peo-
pie on the streets. The mob then started in
a body in search of negroes. Wherever a
negro was seen he was fired on.
When it became known that negroes had
broken into Bootier. Kelley & Co.'s hard
ware store and had secured arms and am
munition a hundred or more white men
went to the same place and entered and
