LYNCHING IN OHIO
NEGRO PUT TO DEATH BY A
 lEoD.
Richard Dixon Had Wounded His Mistress and Killed Policeman Who Was Endeavoving to
 Apprehend Him.

Springfield, O.. March 7.--IsieLaFa Dix on. . desterats negro who fatally shot Policeman charies Colts Sunday morn ing. was taken from the county IaiI to night by an infnriated mob and shot to death in the jail yard. and few mo- ments later the body was taken to tho nue. where the mob spent half an hour rIddling the body with bullets from eev- eral hundred revolvers.
 I DixoE shot Policeman Coils Sunday morning in the formers room in the Jones hotel and Collis died at noon to- day. collis had served for twelve yearC on tho force and was regarded as one of the most reliable and efficient men in the Police Department. He had gone to Dixon's room on the negro's request. Dixon said his mistress had his clothes in her possession and had got the con- sent of Jones, the colored proprietor. 10 keep Dixon away from the house.
 Coliis accompanied Dixon to the room and in a short time the man and woman engaged in quarrel which resulted iu Dixon shooting the woman. who Is known as Anna or Mamie Corbin, in the left breast. just over the heart. She fell un- conscious at the first shot. and Colts jumped toward the negro to prevent hls escape from the room.
 Dixon then fired four balls into Collis, the last of which penetrated his abdo- men. Dixon fled from the room and as he started to go down the stairs the dy- ing policeman sent two bullets through the glass door, neither of which struck the mark. Collis then staggered down the stairs and on reaching the street emptied the remaining chambers of his gun at the fleeing negro. He was not hit, how ever, and went immediately to police headquarters and gave himself up. He was taken to jail and CollAs and the wounded negress were taken to the hospital.
 All the afternoon the killing of Collis was the sole topic of conversation, and both Police Judge Miller and Common Pleas Judge Mower are freely censured They both sentenced him at various times to the jail and to the workhouse for from two to six months, but he was always re- leased before the expiration of his sen- tence. It was the general feeling that a trial would end only in an insufficient sentence, and talk of a mob was fre- quently heard before supper.
 Nothing was thought of 1t by the ofIi- cers until as late as 7:3o this evening, when a mob of boys gathered In front of the jail. This group was augmented by a few men and by o'clock, 300 men had congregated about the jail yard and steps. It was known that only leader was wanted to start the assault. but no one assumed the responsibility. At one time the iron bar at the east entrance was removed. and the door partly opened. The policemen on the inside promptly opened the door and pulled the two near est men inside. This ended all active at- tempts to break the door. until nearly il o'clock. when the jail was forced and the negro lynched.

CUT OFF FROM
 VLADIYOSTOK Russian Squadron in Dan- gerOus Position. RESULT OF BOMBARDMENT Alexleff Reports That One
 Woman Was Killed. According to viceroy, No Damage Was Done to FortiAcations or
 Batteries by the Fire of
 the Japanese.

London. March 7.-Up to late hour this evening the Japanese legation here had received no official information regarding the bonbardment of Vladivostok. It IS believed at the legation. however, that the Japanese are now between the Rus sian cruiser squadron and viadivostok. and there is reason to believe that the Russian squadron Is in the vicinity of possiet Bay.
 Russian official dispatches do not men ton this squadron and this fact lends color to the belief that the Japanese war ships have shut it out of Vladivostok. It Is pointed out at the legation that If this Is true, the Russian vessels are in a critical condition, since they must run the gauntlet of the Japanese squadron of Vladfvostok or the Japanese squadron off Port Arthur before reaching Russian port

oUEsTroN or NEUTRALITY.
How will Vessels of Baltic Fleet
 Take on Coalp

G@kS on COH1S
 Paris. March 7.-Dipiomatic circles are discussing nice question of neutrality [, which will arise when the Russian Baltic fleet starts for the Far East, which IS expected to occur early in the summer. The fleet will be accompanied by colller5 and 1t Is understood that the French S6eernment will raise no objection to the fleet coaling at French ports from It's own ships.
 After the fleet passes Jibutil P'rench somaliland) there are no ports until the fleet reaches Saigon, French Indo-China, and 1t undoubtedly will put in at an In- dian or Ceylon point for more coal. Then will! develope the questions can beiliger- ent ships be allowed to receive coal when their purpose IS to attack the Jap anese fleets and will not such action De violation of neutrality?
 A diplomat who expressed an opinion on the question pointed out that beli'g- erent ships could properly demand at neutral port enough coal to enable them to reach the nearest home port. and that in this case tine nearest home port was Port Arthur. It was quite possi5ie. the diplomat added that Great Britaln would decline to permit the Russians 10 take coal except from their own collisrs and even then probably not in British waters.
