Bright Enough

He didn't know enough to go inside when
Il was raining,
But that was not sufficient cause in his
case for complaining
Or feeling very bad, because this dull and
careless fellow
Did know enough when he was out to
swipe a good umbrella.

NEGRO PLAYED 'POSSUM.
Remarkable Escape From Death by
Mob'S Bullets.

Further particulars from Watkinsville,
Ca, last night of the lynchng of seven
negroes and one white man by a mob Just
outside of the county Jail at that place
yesterday morning. as reported In The
Stars recount that they were dashed to
fence posts and literally shot to pieces
Hundreds OF shots were fired at the eight
victims before the Infatuated mob was con-
tent with its nights work. Not many OF
the bullets went wide of the mark, for the
firing was done at short range and the hum
dred or more men were for the most part
experts with the rifle and revolver.
The white victim of the mob was Leon 7
Aycock. and the negroes were Rich Robin
son, Claude Elder. Lewis Robinson, Rich
Allen. Sandy Price. Eugene Yearly and
Robert Harris. The first three-named
negroes were In jail on a charge of having
murdered Mr.. and Mrs. +. NJ. Hoibrook
few months ago at their home here
II is further recounted that the jailer
made a hurried examination of the VIC
tins and found that eight out OF the nine
dashed to the fence had been rldded with
the bullets Patterson lay as if dead until
he was sure the mob had gone and then
surrendered to the jailer and went back to
his cell. His coat was full of bullet holes
and the post to which he had been tied was
splintered by nearly score of bullets.

have learned through the newspapers
since my arrival My instructions from the
home Office when 1 left Stockholm on May
10 were simply to take charge here during
the vacation of Minister Grip, who Is now
travelling in Europe his usual annual
leave and 1 Will remain here only during
his absence. Beyond that my coming has
no political significance.
Il am glad to be here" continued Mr..
Strale. Your city always has a peculiar
charm for me. and just now l think 1t at It's
best. l have noted a good many changes
since I WAS last here. particularly In the
residential portion. 1t must be that there
are others who hold my opinion. too. as
to its charm"
Mr.. Strale has represented his country

THE OHIO CAMPAIGN
SENATOR DICK HERE TO MEET
SECRETARY EnMER DOVER.

Senator Dick of Ohio, who arrived in
Washington today, evaded comment on the
Ohio democratic convention with a promise
of a statement later. Elmer Dover, secre-
tary of the national committee is to meet
him here, and they Will take up several
matters of business and politics. The case
of United States Stamp Agent John P.
Green, which Is still hanging fire will be
one to receive attention.
Senator Dick is understood to have told
friends since his arrival. that he is better
pleased with the opposition for nominating
Pattison for governor against the pretty
solid vote Of city delegations than he would
have been at the choice of Weity. or a
man of more moderate stand on the tenn
perance issue.
He is also well satisfied that the demo-
Gratis held their convention so carly. since
not one but both tickets will now have to
hang fire through a hot summer to real
campaigning time. On the whole Dick
publican fight in Ohio, bears himself with
apparent confidence and optimism.
There IL much national interest In the
Ohio campaign. 1t is not that the national
administration, rock bed solid on its ire
mendous majority and apparently continu-
ing popular support, will worry lest demo-
cratic success should seem to spell reac-
tlon. But the republican. politicians. who
does not have to do, and democratic lead
ers, would see in Ohio democratic vic
tory the corner stone laid for fighting
organization in 1908. And so far there has
pfen no indication anywhere of minority
party rally from the rout of last fall
Localization Of Fighting.
1t is understood that Ohio republican
strategists see in the Pattison nomination
localiZation of the hardest fighting In
the country districts. They expect the
easier task to lie in the cities, always ex-
cepting Cleveland. Having SO long sue
cessfully controlled this country vote.
Herrick's captains believe they know how
to keep enough Of 1t corralled for safety.
They will so to the farmers with a tariff
campaign. with warnings that the munich
pal plank in the democratic platform mild
as 1t proved to be, means socialism Tom
Johnson Will continue to figure as one
DOGGY man, Bryan another. And the long
forgotten sheep will again be induced to
bleat about his protected wool. The gen.
eral charge Of graft will be met with the
equally general claim Of a business admin
istration.
To Offset anti-saloon strength, the Her
rick strategists believe. it Is said that the
solid liquor interests must now support his
ticket. while they figure that dictation from
the pulpit will be sufficiently unpopular,
their defense of Herrick's course on the
Brannock bill sufficiently convincing and
liberal sentiment sufficiently strong to null
lify much of the Anti-Saloon League work.
1t is pointed out that their party was de-
feated after enacting the Pond, Scott and
Dow laws. and championing them by oppo-
sition to sumptuary legislation. But they
will handle the temperance topic with
tongS, nevertheless.

ASKS FOR EXEMPTION
APPEAL MADE BY GEORGE WASH
INGToN UNIVERSITY.

Two appeals for exemption from taxation
were made today TO the Commissioners by
Mr.. John b. Larner. who appeared first on
behalf of George Washington University
and secondly in behalf of the National Geo
graz hic Society. From Mr.. Larner's argu-
nents It developed that the university will
IN eserve the old Van Ness mansion for at
least three years and will use it for the
purposes of an architectural school. The
actual work of erecting the new buildings
on the site at 18th and c streets will not
he begun for three years, but in the mean
time-the work of remodeling. the Van Ness
mansion having been inaugurated-Mr. Lar
me- contends that the property is being
used for educational purposes. and as such
should be exempted from taxation.
The request for exemption of this prop
erty. on which the university has paid 81. 900
per year In taxes since 1t purchased it with
view to making it the site of the nstitu-
ton In the near future, repeated has been
denied by the Commissioners on the ground
that II was not used for any purpose except
athletics.
Mr. Larner cited precedents today to
prove that when steps are taken TO prepare
property for use by an educa tional or other
similar institution exemption begins forth
with.
In answer to the suggestion that it might
be possible for institution to establish
a small school with only one or two stu
dents on valuable property In order to avoid
payment of heavy taxes by the expenditure
of a comparatively small sum, Mr. Larner
replied that lit will not do to begin digging
up anything like that. You'll find it all
over town. He cited a particular instance
in which he asserted property owned by a
church in the city was being exempted from
taxation by the ruse of holding Sunday
school services in the building once week.
He showed conclusively. however. that the
George Washington University. in placing
its school of architecture the site,
was acting in good faith.
With reference to the Hubbard Memorial
Hall. Mr.. Larner stated that 1t was the gift
of the late Gardner Green Hubbard. The
society. which has several thousand MEM
bers. has paid $500 per year taxes ever
since it acquired the property. Mr.. Larner
commended today that it is purely an educa-
tio1al institution and not organized for
private gain. within the meaning of the
law exempting hospitals, churches anil
places of learning. He cited philosophical
historical and other scientific societies in
New York, Philadelphia. Boston and San
Francisco. showing them to be exempted
from taxation.
Engineer Commissioner Biddle asked
whether by the same reasoning which made
the society in question an institution of
geogra phical education the Daughters of
the American Revolution might be consid-
cred institution of patriotic educa tion
The other Commissioners did not agree that
there was a possible analogy

GREAT COUNT OF CASH
IT BEGAN IN THE TREASURY THIS
AFTERNOON.

The great count of cash in the treasury
began this afternoon, when the paying tell
of the treasurer's office counted up the
amount OF money on hand. to begin
business tomorrow morning. Beginning to-
morrow force of sixty treasury employees.
most of them experts, will begin an in
ventory of the 81. 15o. sIs, 725 in the thirteen
cash vaults of the treasury.
The beginning of the great count Is the
beginning of a new administration as treas
urer of the United States. This is the last
day in Office of Ellis Ii. Roberts. who has
held the treasurership for eight years. and
tomorrow morning Morgan Ii. Treat of
New York will take the oath of office as
treasurer. He has already qualified in a
bond of S150.00O, the largest bond given by
any official of the United States govern
ment. except the subtreasurer' at New York,
who is compelled to furnish bond in tire
sum of S4O0.CO0. Congress fixed the bonds
at different periods. and 1t has never been
understood why larger bond was exacteu
from the New York Subtreasurer than from
the United States treasurer, when the. lat
