ST. PETERSBURG, July 31.-The

Tartars and the Russian troops before

Crowd Attempt TO Kill Negro Near
Washington, Pa Shot Farm
erS Wife and Children.

WASHINGTON, Pa, July 31.-Coro-
ner w. II. Sipe and Constable Johh d.
Miller of Canonsburg drove into that
town with Elmer Dempster, a nineteen
year-old negro. who had beer arrested
for the murder of Mrs. Samuel Pearce
and two children and the shooting oil
a third child.
Dempster was taken TO the Washing
ton county Jail, at this place, leaving
Canonsburg on a trolley ear. Demp-
ster was safely lodged in Jail, but the
officers had an exciting trip from can
onsburg. Two attempts were made to
take the negro from them.
Shortly after leaving Canonsburg n
crowd of about twenty men boarded
the car and with shouts of Lynch
him!' XIII him!' dragged the prisoner
and officers from the car. A fierce
struggle followed. but the officers sue
ceeded in keeping possession of the ne
gro and finally drove the mob off at
the points of their revolvers.
When Washington was reached near
ly 300 people had gathered at the court
house, but the crowd was eluded by
taking the prisoner through the base
ment to the Jail.
While no blood stains were found on
the prisoner, suspicion first rested on
him when it was learned that he was
the last person seen about the house
before the tragedy. Dempster was a
helper on the Pearce farm, IL after

his sister, Miss Fanny Pearce, for the
Canonsburg railroad station Dempstcr

tragedy. looking after the stock. He
was taken from his bed at 2 o'clock
in the morning and put through Il
course of sweating which lasted until
daylight, when, it is known, he made
q complete confession.
The only things missing from the
Pearce home are $12 and Il few cents
and the revolver with which Mrs.
Pearce and her two children were MUIR

A PUSH CART GUN.
INFANTRY TO BE EQUIPPED
WITH MACHINE WEAPONS.
New Feature of the United States Mil
itary Equipment Which Will
Increase Efficiency Of the
Army.

Profting by observations of the re-
cent war in the east, the officials of
the United States army have decided
to attach to every battalion of in
fantry and every squadron of cavalry
one or more machine guns, and it is
expected that these weapons will
operate as powerful auxiliaries in bat
tie, one such gun being considered
equal in firing power to 200 men
armed with rifles.
In the war between Japan and Rus
STA, machine guns were used with ire
mendous effect by both armies, on
one occasion a Russian battalion be-
ing wiped out by the fire of two of
these formidable weapons, which
throw rifle bullets in a continuous
stream, like water from q hose. In
nearly all cases they were operated in
pairs in order hat the outfit might
not be subject to the chance of being
rendered helpless by some accident.
For this reason it is likely that each
battalion and each squadron in the
army will be supplied with two such
guns, which will be regarded as be-
longing to those individual units of
the fighting establishment. The rea-
son for this arrangement will be I'M
derstood Immediately when it is ex-
planned that machine cannon operate
ION their hook" so to speak, because
they would be likely to be cut off,
They can enter into action only with
the infantry and cavalry and covered
by them.
Hitherto, of course, the artillery
arm has been something separate and
by itself, cooperating with the cav
airy and infantry, but under the ar
rangement described machine guns
will actually become part and parcel
Of the fighting force of the infantry
battalion or cavalry squadron. 1t is
not planned to initiate the plan adopt
ed by the Germans, who allow to each
infantry brigade eight machine guns,
which operate as a sort of battery,

serve, to cover the advance and re-
treat of infantry, to operate in pur-
suit against the TANKS of the enemy
and in defense to make NpIpoach to
obstacles more difficult.
Nevertheless, the fundamental idea
is not altogether dissimilar. Ma
chine guns are particularly useful for
the defensive, when they NOW down
the enemy by a storm of projectiies
at the moment of forward rush and
they are equally efficient in mountain
warfare, where a single such weapon
skillfully posted and hidden at the
entrance of a deflle, can hold back q
large hostile force or by beating with
continuous fire a section of narrow
road over which the foe wishes to
pass, can either infict loss
es or compel a long detour.

hard to hit and, if well concealed, il
