MIDDlET0WN TO TRY
THE OIL Treatment

The Middletown town council has
asked the state board of public roads
TO put crude oil on a strip OF road, m
order to allay the dust, to see how oil
works as a preserver of the roadbed.
In harrington and Riverside the
plan has worked well: and the road on
which II Is desired to try the expert
ment in Middletown is Turner's road
north to the town line. which is eg
posed 10 the south wind and generally
dry and dusty. 1t is thought this strip
OF road will afford ample opportunity
to demonstrate the worth OF the oil
treatment.

FOR AN EICHT-H0UR DAY
President Roosevelt Extends Order To
All Public Works.

Oyster Bay, N. Y. (Speclal) Pres
ident Roosevelt extended the eight
hour law TO apply to all public works
under the supervision of any depart
ment of the government. This order
affects more particularly work on
| river and harbor improvements.
Charles p. Neill, commissioner of
labor, who, at the direction of the
President. has had charge. since last
winter, of the enforcement of the
eight-hour law, has sent to the Pres
ident report, of which the follow
ing Is the concluding paragraph:
II might add here that found
that one very noticeable effect has al
ready been produced in this matter
of the eight-hour law. Contractors
fully realize now that the law is go
ing to be enforced with earnestness,
and they no longer dismiss II as a
matter OF no consequence. They
probably like the law less than ever,
but their attitude, none the less, is
rapidly changing into one Of becom-
ing respect for the statute
To carry out Commissioner Neills
recommendation the President has
signed the following executive order:
Il. All departments of the govern
ment under the supervision of which
public works are being constructed
are hereby directed to notify the
representatives stationed at such pub
lie works to report at once 10 their
respective departments all cases in
which contractors or subcontractorS
on works now under construction
have required or permitted laborers
or mechanics in their employ to work
over eight hours in any one calendar
day.
"2. All government representatives
in charge of construction of public
works are further directed that It is
part of their duty to report to their
respective departments each and
every case in which laborers or me-
chanics are required or permitted TO
work over eight hours a day on the
works under supervision of such gov
ernment representatives. Wherever
reports showing work in excess of
eight hours day are received by any
department they arc to be referred
to the Department of Justice for ap-
propriate action
3. All departments of the govern
ment under the supervision of which
public works are being constructed
by contract are further directed TO
have their respective legal officers
prepare and forward TO the President
a list of such statutes and executive
orders as have direct bearing on
contracts for the construction of pub
lie works, and with which bidders on
such works should be made ac-
quainted. (Signed)
THEODORE ROOSEVELT"

Washington (SpeciaD - Further
rulings in connection with the en-
forcement of the meat inspection
law, after October / next, were made
public by the Secretary of Agricul-
ture, and give on idea of what con-
sumers are to expect hereafter when
purchasing meat produce, particular
ly canned goods. Anything savoring
of false or deceptive name will not
be tolerated. and no picture, design
or device which gives any any false
indication or origin or quality will
be permitted upon any label, as for
example, the picture of pig appear
ing on a label placed upon beef pro-
ducts, or the picture of a chicken
upon the label of a veal or pork
product.

be marked Virginia style ham,"
ENGLISH Drawn must De DnpllSI
style brawn:" "Westphalia ham
must be "Westphalia style ham. u
The word "ham," without a prefix
indicating the species of animal, is
considered by the department to be
pork ham, but trimmings removed
from the ham, and used in the pre-
paration of potted meats or sausage
or when used alone, may be known
as "potted ham" or ham sausage. u
Frankfurter sausage no longer can
be known as such, but must be called
Frankfurter style sausage"
The rules clearly define what con
stitutes pure lard, but prescribe that
substance composed of lard, stear.

made from beef, and veal loaf can
not be called such unless the meat
used is veal only.
The same rules apply to othei
canned products and manufacturer

Atlanta, Ga. (SpeciaD Modern
Atlanta has never witnessed such
scenes as have been a feature of an
entire day following the exciting in
cidents of Saturday night A negro
was lynched on Marietta Street this
Sabbath afternoon.
The negro who was lynched was
suspected of assaulting one of the
white women Saturday, and was be-
ing taken to Jail when he was TAX
en- from the officers by a dozen men
and shot to death in the street.
Militia have patrolled the streets.
while groups of citizens have stood
upon the corners discussing the sit
uation from their various stand
points. The number of dead at the
last report was 6. but may exceed
90. The injured are several times
that number. About a dozen women
are seriously hurt.
Dozen MObs Attack Negroes.
The outbreak was against the ne
gro race, and was marked by all the
savegry which accompanies a racial
eruption. Russians massacreing Jews
in Odessa was not more cruel than
the Atlanta mob Ordinarily the
Southern mob goes ater some par
ticular negro, and after punishing
him, washes its hands and becomes
respectable. But Saturday night the
mob was after all negroes because
they we're negroes. Thirteen white
women have been attackd by negroes
at Atlanta in the last two months
Four of these women were assaulted
Saturday evening. Only one OF these
assailants had been caught and
lynched The temper Of the whites,
already strained was snapped by the
four assaults Saturday, and the mob
reigned in Atlanta.
Some white man mounted a
box on Marietta Street, near the
postofice, and, holding aloft a night
extra announcing the fourth assault
on white women" cried out: Are
we Southern white men going to
stand for this?" ''No; let's kill all
the negroes, so our women will be
safe" was shouted back, and the
mob was soon on.
Hurled From A Car.
Just then a trolley car appeared in
which were two negroes sitting be-
hind two white women. Look at
that" someone cried In a twink
ling white men boarded the car and
threw the negroes into the midst Of
the mob. where one was cut to death
and the other fatally beaten.
The mob germ was evidently In
the atmosphere, for in less than 80
minutes after the initial outbreak
on Marietta Street there came re-
Dorts of mOhs attacking negroes in
more than a dozen sections Of the
city. The stories were all the same,
the whites would see a negro and
cry There is one of the black
fends who assaults our women!
And in n few mintes the negro would
be dead or beaten into insensibility.
