ant Attorney General. to proceed at once and aid the grand jury. of Greene County in ferreting out and prosecuting the prime movers in last nights work. MT. Lake left Jefferson City for spring field tonight. M $
 Of the fourteen prisoners. whites ana negroes. who escaped from the prison last night during, the mob excitement. four were captured during the day.
 Thousands of people today swarmed about the jail to view the wreck caused by the mob and about the public square where the three negroes were hanged and their bodies later burned to ashes Every train brought hundreds or per sons to the city from surroundins towns. mostly hoodlums. who appa- rently scented trouble and were anxious to take A hand in 1t. Many others who came from the farming districts caught up the mob spirit readily and joined the general sentiment that the negroes should be driven from the city and that now when the race feeling was strong. was the best time to do it.
 Negroes Generally Jeered.
 Negroes who dared to appear on the streets today were greeted with hoots and jeers, and on several occasions crowds of men and boys collected to at- tack them. A crowd of 200 gathered around one negro who recently had been reelased from jail and threaten Cd him with violence. The fact that no one would assume the lead probably alone saved the negro.
 Both the ncgores and whites are armed and the negroes will not likely be driven from the city without a struggle.
 Theer was a steady demand today for fire arms and at many hardware stores 1t was reported that they had sold nearly their entire stock of guns of every sort.
 Ropes were stretched around the jail today and force of twenty-five depu- ties was kept busy keeping the curios- ity seekers from forcing their way be- yond the enclosures. The damage done to the Jail cannot be repaired for some time, and 1t could be entered easily by a mob unless opposed by sufficient number of armed men.
 Will Allen, negro. charged with the murder of a man named Rourke last January. was taken from jail by the mob that lynched Duncan and Copeland and hanged in the public square short time before a. m.. today Aliens captors took him to the top of the tow ct, compelled him to jump on with the rope around his neck. The rope broke and he fell upon the charred bodies of Duncan and Copeland. In the second attempt he was swung of and as he dangled, he was killed by shooting. When Allen was first taken upon the tower with the rope around his neck and protesting his innocence, the lead CT of the Iynchers called upon the mob to vote whether Allen was guilty or innocent. The mob howied. Hang him"
 The inside of the jail was complete 1y wrecked. the mob not stopping af- ter they had secured their men but con- tinuing their work of destruction un- til practically all the prison bars were down. About s3.0o0 damage was done in the prison alone, while in the Sher- iff's residence the damage Is fully as much.
 Mrs. Horner. the sherihs wire. IS in Ia critical condition and Is suffering with heart trouble

SMALL ONES STUCK.
EauitnbIe investigation Did Not Affect
 Big PoIicyh0lders.

New York, April 15.-A statement given out tonight by the Equitable Life Assurance Society says: "1nvesti- cations show that the fears engendered by the developments of the year results in the lapsing of 27,3S5 policies for $l,000 or under while one policy for $250,000 was allowed to lapse. Of the entire volume of Iapsed policies in the Equitable, ss4 per cent were for 5000 or less"
 In commenting on the results of his efforts to restore the standing of lapsed policyholders, President Morton said:
 My belief that the small policy holder was the chief sufferer from the agitation and excitement regarding life insurance Is now confirmed. The hold CTS of policies Of $5.000 and upwards are generally men of business experience Though fear based on nisapprehension of real facts and ctten upon misrepre. sentation. thousands of small policy hoIdefs allowed their policies to lapse

earthed two aged women. still alive. but speechelss after six days entomb- ment.
 They were among the hundreds who were crushed beneath the falling walls during the rain of stones and ashes last Sunday and Monday. Hope has been abandoned of finding any of these per- sons alive. The women were protected by the rafters of the house which they were in and had managed to exist on a few morsels of food which they had in their pockets.
 Nine dead bodies were taken out to- day and 1t is estimated that hundred more remain under the ruins. At some points the ashes are ten feet deep. reaching to the windows of the sec ond stories of the few novels stand ing.
 The work of salvage at San Giuseppe has brought to light remarkable con- dition. Bodies have been found of wo- men in whose hands were coins and jewels and one woman held rosary, indicating the instinct to preserve earthly belongings in the moment of fleeing from death.

GOVERNOR FOLK TALKS.
Terms spriugfleld Lynching a M
 Dfsernceful Occurrence.

Terms springfleld L1nching Most DAsernceful Occurrence.
 Jefferson City. Mo, April 1s.--Gov- ernor Joseph W. Folk. in statement today, said:
 ~rhe IynchinE at springfeid was a most disgraceful occurrence What ever the ofFense of the negroes may have been, they were entitled to pun ishment by law and not by mobs and when a mob takes the law into it's own hands as this one did. any member of it is guilty of murder. will request one of the assistant attorney generals to aid the prosecuting attorney of Greene County to punish the offenders and shall offer al reward of $500 for any information that would lead to conviction of any member of the mob. :"
 Ministers Denounced Mob.
 Many of the leading ministers in their Easter sermons today denounced the lynchers in strong terms and called upon the proper authorities to enforce the law or resign their positions Prosecuting Attorney Patterson and Sheriff Horner are said to have secured the names of more than 100 men who took an active part in the lynching. The leaders O fthe mob were not dis guised. but worked in the full glare of the electric lights on the square. Prose-
 
 row ask Judge Lincoln of the Criminal Court to summon a special grand jury at once and make'a most thorough in vestigation into the lynching.
 A crowd or negroes assembled on the public square early tonight and refused to disperse. but when the first com pany of militia arrived they sullenly scattered. It Is feared that an att tempt may be made during the night A ke h,,fI is1 ha Yf sl lr frf a of the city and consequently the arrival of the other companies of militia or dered here by Governor Folk is anx- iously awaited. Soldiers will imme- diately, be placed in all parts of Spring field and extra efforts will be made to suppress any violence which seemed to promise early this evening.
 Negroes Have Dynamite.
 Whites and blacks are reported as having armed themselves heavily and the negroes of the city are said to have seized 300 sticks of dynamite from a stone quarry for defense purposes, if further attempt at lynching is made, Miss Edmondson, the attack upon whom provoked the lynching outbreaks, when told of the work of vengeance, said:
 Served them right
 Her condition Is pronounced serious
 The greater part or the negro popu- lation has been in hiding all day. In the negro quarters many women and children took refuge in cellars and gar rets. Whole families fled to the coun- try after having appealed in vain to the authorities for protection.
 At meeting of the members of the Ministerial Alliance this afternoon. a call was issued for a mass meeting of cItizens at Grace Methodist Episcopal Church, at 8 o'clock Monday night. to consider ways and means for securing evidence against the members of the mob ..

LrNEMEN ON STRIKE.
About 1,5OO wire Workers of Southern
 Bell to Wolk Out.


 Atlanta, Ga. April 15.-About 1.5oo wire workers of the Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph Company will walk out on a. strike at g o'clock to- morrow morning. Seven States will be affected by the walkout: Virginia. West Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida and Ala bama. Atlanta will be headquarters for the strike. Rale Smith and Vice President Newman. both international officers of the union are in the city.
 There appears to be several causes for the strike, and the demands made by the union are of an intricate nature The principal cause. however, appears to he the refusal of the telephone com pany officials to recognize the union. These Is demand for better pay and less hours of work. The linemen at present are paid s2.7o per day of nine hours, with two hours off on Satur- days.
 It is the opinion of both sides that no violence will be resorted to by the linemen.

The question which is now worrying
local baseball fans Is; "Will the viii
mington A. A. team be In the Tri-
State League next season ?" The

indicate that Wilmington has several
enemies In the league, who would like
TO see this club dropped. 1t is the
opinion Of the owners that by the time
the two weeks probation expires Read
ing will be ready to come in, in which
event Wilmington will stay.
Jess NJ. FrysinRer of this city, who
Is 90 manage the Lancaster club, will
endeavor to make a deal with Irwin OF

the latter club by the league, at its
