FEWER LYNcHINGs IN 1904.
Eighty-Seven Past Year - Mississippi
Led With Eighteen.

Figures collected in the Chicago Tribune's
annual review show that there were fewer
lynchings than in any previous year since
1885.
There was a marked falling off in the ag-
gregate of donations for educational, phil
anthropic and religious purposes.
There was decrease in the number of
legal hangings, in the total of defalcations
forgeries and bank wreckings and in the
number Of homicides.
Fire losses show an increase. In a gen.
eral business. manufacturing and CONNER
ciaI way the latter half of the year was a
decided improvement over the first six
months.
Lynchings for the year numbered 81, as
compared with 104 the previous year. and
1876 in 1901. November was the one month
in 20 years during which no lynching was
reported, north or south. OF the 81 lynch
ings. 81 took place in the south and in
and whites. Two women were among the
number. The highwater mark for lynchings
was in 1892, when mob vengeance was
wreaked on 235 persons.
Mississippi headed the list of states with
Is lynchings. Arkansas and Georgia showed
II each. Kentucky, Virginia, Texas and
South Carolina each had fewer than a half
dozen cases Every state of the upper Mis-
sissippi valley escapes without a lynching
The alleged causes of the lynchings were:
Murder, 80; attacks on women, &c. murder
GUS assault, A; conspiracy to murder, 2; I'M
known. 2; insults, 2; threats, !, and rob-
berry, l.
Naturally the number of killed and
wounded in war during 1904 greatly ex-
ceeded that of 1903, because of the san
culinary conflict between Russia and Japan
The total loss of the year was about 400
900. as compared with $4,000 In 1908 %, 900
In 1902 and 5000 in 1901. OF these losses
approximately 10000 were on Russian
Japanese battlefields and seas
Leaving out the alleged operations of
Mrs Cassie L. Chadwick the extent of
which has not been ascertained, the total of
defalcations. entertainments, forgeries and
bank wreckings was $4.742.507, as compar-
ed with $6562, 165 in 1903. The figures for
the year are smaller than for any year
since 1900. one-sixth of those in 1894 and

TO PUNISH ROSE.
Great Athlete Went to New York With
out Permission

Ralph Rose, the young giant from the
University of Michigan. who smashed the
worlds record in putting the 2i-pound shot
IS feet %. inches in New York on Saturday
night. is up against it as far his future
athletic career in the University of Michi-
gan is concerned. He may not be perma-
nently barred. but that he will be severely
disciplined is unquestioned, and this may
extend so far as TO keep him out of the
Pennsylvania meet and the Western College
Conference championship meet
Ii is a conference rule that athletes of
the universities cannot compete for outside
clubs during the college year without per-
mission, and IL is the policy of the board
OF control at the University of Michigan not
to grant this permission. 1t forms prece-
dents of encouraging outside athletic clubs
to entice student athletes away from their
studies for trips.
Rose applied for permission to go into
the New York meet and It was denied to
him. In defiance of this action he donned
his track suit in New York and tossed the
24-pound playthng in competition.
Michgan's board of control is not accus-
toned to having its action defied by stu
dents. and. while the scratching of Rose
from the list of eligibles would surely lose
Michigan the western championship this
year. owing to the team being weakened by
the loss of six stars OF last year, the board

co1oRADo's POLITICAL CONTEST.
Peabody's Candidate for Speaker o.
House-To Unseat Democrats.

The cause Of Governor Peabody made a
distinct gain at Denver yesterday afternoon
when the republican caucus selected W. H.
Dickson of Denver as speaker of the next
house Of the Colorado legislature. AL
though Mr.. Dickson has been a resident of
Colorado for three years he has not been
active in the interest of any republican fac
ton, but his candidacy was pushed by the
friends Of Governor Peabody. and his selec-
ton by the caucus is regarded with much
complacency by Peabody's adherents
Frank w. Frewen of Teller county was
the candidate of the Wolcott faction. and
he made strong fight for several hours.
Matters were finally adjusted harmonous.y,
everybody in the caucus Joining in naming
Dickson for speaker by reclamation.
The republican leaders have not yet de-
termined positively on their line of action
after the legislature is opened.
AS soon as the supreme court has finished
with a certain number of precincts the leg
islature is to take them up and conduct its
own examination along lines similar to
those employed by the supreme court. 1t
would be months before the legislative body
having this count in charge would be pre-
pared to report.
Republican leaders have no hesitancy in
declaring that one of the things they will
do is to unseat the democratic sena tors,
Born and Healey, who two years ago were
given the seats of republicans, Dick and
Mcdonald. There are four other demo-
cratic senators who may share the fate Of
Born and Healey. although it has not yet
been definitely decided that they will be
unseated. The republicans base possible
action in these four cases on the public
statements of former Representative Sha-
froth, who announced that 1900 fraudulent
votes had been cast for him at his election.
The four democratic senators were elected
at the same time by pluralities approximate
ing 1000. The republican leaders reason
that II there were 1000 fraudulent votes
cast, the four men who had pluralities Of
1900 could not have been elected.

BIG MONEY IN COACHING.
Foot Ball Experts Better Paid Than
United States Senators.

Foot ball coaches have become captains Of
industry during the last few years, accord
ing to a number of contracts promulgated
by different colleges of late. says the Cleve-
land Plain Dealer. A man who knows how
to tangle up rival team with a number of
intricate plays has found that it pays bet
ter to be the author of 'tx-y-z-4-11-44' than
to have seat in Americas Congress In
proportion to the time he spends at his
work a modern foot ball coach draws from
three. to four times the salary of a United
States senator and about half as much as
the President of the country
foot ball coach spends on the average
two months in looking after an eleven For
this he is paid all the way from 81 500 to
5000 and expenses. The coach usually gets
his meals at the training table and his
rallroad fares and other incidental expenses
are paid out of the athletic treasury
1t Is this phase of highly paid professional
coaches which have begun to worry the
university authorities, and the question has
been raised where is 1t all going to enc?
Coaching has become more and more ex-
pensfve as the sport has increased in popu-
larity and rivalry, and the competition has
become so keen for good men that sue
cessfui foot ball general is now able to
write his own contract"
While the plodding professors of political

NEW ORLEANS RACES.
Trapper Won the First Special by a
Nose.

The first special of the Crescent City
Jockey Club was decided at the New Or
leans race track yesterday afternoon. and
from a racing standpoint it was bril-
liant success. One Of the largest fields
that have ever been carded to start at the
fair grounds was entered The RAIN of
Sunday night caused many to decline the
issue. But with all the scratching there
were eleven horses left, which made the
betting interesting. Trapper was the choice
and was played down from threes to to
Q. The eastern contingent figured that the
Snyder colt was much the best and played
him to the limit Kings Trophy was the
representative of the west, and the west
erners were confident that he was good
enough to win from Trapper The others
were also played to some extent.
Lucy Young was the pacemaker, getting
Off in front with very poor start. Lucy
splashed through the mud at terrific rate
and at one stage of the race looked as
though she was going to make a runaway
race of it. But after showing the way
down the backstretch, Lucy Young curled
VI. at the three-quarter pole, and Trapper,
who had been within hailing distance all
the way, assumed command.
In the stretch Trapper had a clear lead
OF half length. but Janeta and King
Trophy got to him in the final furlong, the
latter coming from away back The trio
fought it out Trapper winning by nose
on the post Janeta secured the place by
a scant neck from Kings Trophy. 1t was
a pretty finish one of the best of the meet
ing. All down the stretch 1t was a Ques-
ton which would win.
Had the race been bit further King
Trophy would have won, he was much
the best at the finish.
A good-sized crowd was out, and the bet
ting was brisk. A number of horses vera
shipped to Hot Springs for the meeting

The emperor alluded to the recent unveil-
ing of the statue of Frederick the Great at

said he, has told me with what kindness
he was treated. He was really over
whelmed by the warmth of his reception
and at the good will shown him by every
one he met. His accounts of what he saw
and how he was received gratified me very
much. / appreciate it,
During the conversation, which continued
some time, the emperor said:
Il wish that an arrangement could be
made under which all American professors
could come to our universities and deliver
courses of lectures each year, and for Ger
man professors to go to American UNIVERSE
ties and deliver lectures there"
MT rover replied that he felt confident
the suggestion would be welcomed in Amer
lea, and he assured the emperor that he
would be happy to assist in carrying it out.
