DEATH
AvERTS
LYNCHING

Fitzgerald. Ca. Aug 5-A J. Scott
the negro slayer Of J. A. Bishop died in
the City hall here at o'clock yesterday
afternoon. His death probably averted
serious mob trouble. as excitement was
at fever heat from the time the special
train arrived from Rebecca with the pris-
oner. who was captured by citizens of
that place.
When the first report Of scott's cap
ture reached here. Chief OF Police Her
man Smith. accompanied by six armed
citizens. left here for Rebecca, which is
small village fearing a general uprising
among the negroes. Smith and his party
were followed by n special train carrying
n heavily armed force from here. and
gathering up number OF men en- route.
The special train returned at 2:30
o'clock this morning. carrying the negro.
who had resisted arrest until fatally
wounded. He was taken to the City jail
and the mob gathered there was I'm i'm
minent danger OF lynchinE. The prisoner
was removed TO the second story OF the

DIED FROM
FALL FROM
HAMMOCK

Ethel Louise Dorey. the 5-year old
daughter OF Rev. and Mrs. s. q. Dorey
of 30 Orchard avenue. Arlington. fell out
OF a hammock on Saturday afternoon
last, sustaining injuries from which she
died the following day at 1850
I On the afternoon Of the accident the
parents'of the little girl were away from
home and did not know OF the fall from
the hammock until late in the evening.
II appears that the rope holdig the ham
mock broke and though the drop dazed
the little girl somewhat she continued at
her play.
She was taken sick Saturday evening
but her parents did not realize the nature
OF her trouble. setting the illness as due
10 stomach trouble. She was taken more
seriously III early Sunday morning. but
her father who was scheduled to preach
at Pascoag left home little dreaming that
he should never see his little girl again
alive.
AT 10 o'clock commissions seized the
child and death came at l:30.
The physicians who were hastily sum-
moned at the development of the con-
vulsions declared death as due 10 cere-
bral coneussion and said that death was
inevitable.
The little girl was the youngest of five
children.

Mr.. TAFT
LOST IN
The WOODS

Mr.. orray Taft has lately returned %
his home In this city after an expert
ence in the Maine woods that might cas-
lily have resulted less happily for the
young man
With his companion. John Read OF
Camden, ~. j., Mr.. Taft was lost in the
Maine forests for two nights and a day
before he luckily struck logging camp
and was able 10 make HIS way back 10
his party.
Mr.. Taft early in the summer left for
the Moosehead lake region. going 20 Shir-
ley Mills, Piscatuquis county. Me-, at
which point the Reads have a camp.
A week ago last Friday party Of ive
left the camp with guide 10 spend the
day I'm hunting In the dense woods about
the camp Everything went well until
towards night when Taft and Read found
themselves cut off from their guide and
their companions.
As darkness fell their plight became
most serious. as they possessed but little
food. a couple Of sardines being the ex-
tent of their commissary stores. They
started out for camp. az they thought,
but started In the wrong direction and
soon became hopelessly tangled mp In
the wilderness
IL rained In torrents all that Friday
night and the Saturday following, so
that the two men were greatly weakened
by lack of food and exposure. BY Satur-
day evening Read showed great distress
and Taft was himself suffering keenly
from hunger and anxiety.
Fortunately Sunday morning the two
weary men struck n logging camp and
the lumbermen did all I'm their power
for them. Mr. Taft returned 10 Boston
without going back 10 Shirley Mills. and

The MANAGEMENT OF the hundreds OK
carriages which are in attendance az
every great state function in Washing
ton presents problems not found In any
other city in America, and gradually
there has been evolved system whlen
for simplicity and efficiency is net sur
passed in any city in the world. The
basis of the whole scheme Is 8 system
of numbered tickets. Upon the occasion
of a great gathering at the Whlte
House. for instance. every distinguished
guest received with his invitation num-
bered tickets which indicate at which
gate his carriage Is 20 enter the grounds
one Of these tickets, which are NUMBER
ed in duplicate. is given TO the coach-
man and the other is retained by the oc-
cupant of the carriage. This, or course
sfmplihes the calling Of the carriage
when its owner desires to depart, where
as the coachman's ticket serves as
card OF admission and prevents any
driver causing confusion by entering ct
the wrong gate
The head OF the washington police
force has also issued to each foreign
envoy for the use OF his coachman a
snccial coachman's badge. which facili-
tates the access of such carriages on
occasions of public or private concourse.
The badge serves the same purpose as
the "coupe file" commonly furnished
"a the representatives Of the United
States at the principal European capt.
tails end which. while not emitting the
equipage to disregard the ordinary po-
lice rules. is intended TO facilitate access
and passage on occasions Of ceremony
and unusual concourse where the pres
ence Of the police Il necessary 10 avoid
confusion. The badge secures for a for
eign ENJOYS carriage the escort OF a
policeman whenever the services of an
officer are needed to secure its passage
through q crowded thoroughfare.

the average price has ranged from SfOJ
70 $1,000. The horses have cost. on an
average, about $3.50 each.
Probably the most pretentious array
Of equipages maintained by the Govern
ment in connection with any one in
stitution are those at the White House.
Theoretically these are provided pri-
marily for the use OF the President, but
sthe President seldom II ever rides in
one Of these turnouts. President
Roosevelt, following the example OF his
predecessors, has provided his own
equIpages for use not only on private
missions. but at all formal state func-
tons as well. When Mr.. Roosevelt
came to the White House he owned
one good carriage horse, Judge by
name. and he purchased two others,
splendidly matched pair. named Gen
eral and Admiral, valued at S1.01 each.
His purchases after taking up his resi-
dence at the Presidential mansion also
included three carriages.
The Presidential family being so well
provided with private eQuipages. the
seven horses and three or four car
rlages maintained by Uncle Sam at the
White House stables are left for the
use OF the secretaries to the President.
The Secretary to the President and each
OF the assistant secretaries has a car
riage for his use, and one turnout is re-
served for the use OF the White House
messengers. or all the White House
officials. probably Assistant Secretary
Barnes makes greatest use of his car
riage. for # falls 70 his lot to carry to
the Capitol the Presidents messages to
Congress. and there is scarcely a day
during the Congressional session that
no does not make one or more journeys
to the white-domed building as courier
of the Chief Magistrate. The horse and
carriage at the disposal Of the White
House messengers is not employed I'm
the distribution Of invitations TO White
House social functions. this being left
TO men mounted on bicycles. but is
merely utilized for special services, such
as the conveyance of the Presidents
mail, which were formerly performed by
q. messenger on horseback.
Uncle Sam is Outshone in the matter
Of eQuipages by those of many of the
foreign embassies and legations and by
not a few Of the turnouts OF wealthy
citizens. who though not in official life
reside In Washington because OF the
varied attractions OF the worlds most
/ beautiful city. To be sure, the Presi-
dent and Secretary Hay have carria ges
which would compare favorably with
any to be found in America. but I'm each
case these equipages are privately own
ed and were not provided by the Gov
| ernment, Notable among the perfectly
appointed equipages OF the foreign en-
voys are those Of the German and Brit
! fsh ambassadors. The Japanese minis
