NEW ROAD

The Legislature pissed Il new
road lava local option measure
making radical charges in the pres
INT statute. 1t authorizes road
districts to tax themselves to build
roads, each landowner to be allow
ed Il vote for every acre of land he
nay own, ana to he taxed in pro.
potion to its proximity to the road ,
-" the control aud expenditure of
road money in the hands of
lLe county courts or of commits.
sioners appointed by them. 1t is
regarded as an Improvement in
many respects upon the present
law.
Hope the new statute may prove
indeed good thing worth push
ing along, Road improvement is
one of the greatest needs of the
tate, but most people seem to re.
gard the agitation as chestnut.

The time OF the Senate yesterday was

statehood bill.
In the House the fight Of many years
waged against the appropriation OF
$3.50, 600 for rental of the old New York
custom house, resulted in victory, Mr..
Hemenway, of Indiana, chairman OF the
committee on appropriations, being I'M
able to muster sufficient strength to re-
tain the provision in the bill. The OPP
position was led by Mr.. Sulzer and Mr..
Williams, both Of whom denounced
the expenditure as public scandal and
In the interest Of the Standard Oil Com
pauy, which, 1t was alleged, was behind
the National City Bank, the purchaser
of the building from the government.
Although the bank was alleged to have
bought the property for $4,000, 900, and
to have credited the amount to the gov
eminent, it developed that no title had
passed to it, and that in consequence il
was paying no taxes TO the State of New
York. The failure Of the government to
give deed WAS ascribed to be due to the
influence of the Standard Oil Company.
IN the course of general debate on the
bill, Messrs. Crgmpacker, OF Indiana;
Wallace, of Arkansas, and Byrd, Of
Mississippi, discussed the race question
In the South, the latter also dealing with

Lynching Proba bic.

Developments in the assault ease
wherein Miss Mamie Marsh, young
white woman of jackson, Miss, was
crimiually assaulted by negro, came
thick and fast yesterday afternoon. The
police arrested a negro named Stewart
johnson, whose clothes were bloody, who
bore other evidences Of having been in a
struggle and to whom circumstantial evil
dence pointed strongly. A negro named
Jake Turnbull, about "A years OF age.
who says that he was on the other side
Of the street when the assault was CON-
mitted Thursday night, was taken to the
Jail and identified Johnson as the crimi-
nal. Last night crowds began to gather
in the uptown business district and open.
ly iudulged in talk of lynching. At z
o'clock last night the streets we're crowd
ed with people.
Gov. Vardaman worked hard to pre-
vent lynching. When the news of the
crime reached him the governor sent his
friends throughout the town as emissaries
of law and order telling them to plead
with every man they met to allow the
law to take its course.
Then he started personal campaign.
Charging up and down the main street,
he expostulated With every group Of men
be met, and used every argument at his
command to induce them to dispeFse.
The governor soon saw his efforts were
likely to prove unavailing, and finally
went with the rapidly increasing mob TO
the courthouse, where, according to ru-
mors, the young woman's assailant was
under guard. The reports were unfonnd-
ed, but the mob refused to believe the
sheriff, and began making threatening
demonstrations.
Gov Vardaman, after instructing the
sheriff and his deputies TO defend the
prisoner TO the last if he should be
brought to them, mounted the steps and
began an imprisoned address. He de-
clared the law provided fit and proper
punishment for the crime in question,
assured the citizens of Jackson that there
would be no delay il carrying il into eff
feet, and pleaded with them to "allew
the law to take its course"
The governor offered to pay $500 for
the arrest Of the negro, provided he was
delivered alive to the authorities. His
appeal was listened to in silence.
