Springfield, Ohio. - Local militia
called out to check race riot caused
by the shooting of NJ. NJ, Davis, a
brakeman, by negro, were unable to
stop rioting, and an appeal was made
to the Governor to send more troops.
A mob Of 2oo0 men. led by railroad
men, descended at night on the negro
quarter of the town. they burned
buildings and attacked all the colored
men that yentured on the streets.
Edward Dean and Preston Lldd
who were suspected of the crime, were
secretly removed to Dayton to save
them from the lynching that awaited
them here
The rioters seemed determined to
take vengeance. on the colored popula-
tion in whatever way they could. I'm
offending negroes were dragged
through the mud and badly beaten.
The ringleaders of the mob were
armed and revolver shots were heard
frequently.
kempler's saloon, on East Columbia
street, was the first object of attack
1T was looted, and the owner fed down
the street. leaving his wife and three
little children asleep in a room over
the bar. just as the crowd was about
r. rot -
and f1remen forced their way to the
door and rescued the woman and chill
dren in the nick of time.
Chief of Police O'Brien after this in
cident ordered all the saloons in the
town closed, and the order was
promptly obeyed.
On leaving Kempler's the mob
rushed across the street to a five-story
frame building from which the inmates
had fed. They smashed in the windows
and poured Gil on the beds. They then
set the house ON fire, and it is now in
ruins. The firemen did their best to
save the structure, but as fast as a
line Of hose was run out some one in
the mob would cut it. The police
seemed powerless to interfere
Major Horace Keifer called on the
t'fV iOOd4 NOll pu4lCS VI ulliItlH 10 dlQ
in restoring order, and the Xenia COM
pany was ordered to report a. a mo-
ment's notice. Three companies of the
National Guard were called out.
Major Keifer, in command of Com
panies B and E Of the local militia,
formed cordons around the endangered |
district. 1t was believed at midnight |
that the disturbance had BEEN quelled, |
but the mob formed again after the I
militia thought it dispersed and re-
newed the attacks on the negroes and |
the burning of buildings.
The quarter in which the disturb |
ance took place is known as the Jun
giles" and the leaders urge their men
on with the cry: Burn the Jungles."
1T is hoped that with the closing Of the
saloons and the arrival of the militia
the police will be able to stop further
rioting.
Similar scenes were enacted here
two years ago, when negro was
lynched for murder, and militia had to |
be called out to suppress the mobs in
the sJungles."

Caracas is charming place to spend
vacation in One never tires of
watching the pack trains arriving with
loads of coffee, cocoa or marketing
produce, or setting out with all man
ner Of queer merchandise for the coun
try estates. Then there is the market
where one is sure to find some new va
riety Of fruit or vegetable, no matter
how often he visits it. Even more in
teresting to me are the quaint houses,
which seem so many centuries behind
the times, and vet present such de-
lightful vistas. as one glances through
their forbidding doorways. And, of
course, there are excursions to be made
on every side, tramps across the valley
among the banana and sugar cane
plantations, or rp the hillside to see a

Since its completion it has been
lying at Chesapeake Bay OIL SoIomon's
Island. Here an opportunity has been
given to thoroughly demonstrate its
capacity for docking not only vessels,
but to dock itself In each trial the
drydoek has performed service up to
the requirements of the specifications.
The vessel selected for the test was
the new cruiser Colorado. 1t may be
needless to say that the Colorado is
considerably longer than any of the
battleship class, being more than 500
feet.
Consequently, the weight of the Col
orado, though much more, was distrib-
uted over such a greater length of the
dock that the strain upon 1t as indi-
Gated by the detection was consider
ably less than when the battleship
was lifted from the water; but as al
ready stated. the DETECTION was no

He had no opportunity to finish his remark
for Just then an ominous shadow fell across
the freight, and they all looked up quickly,
to meet the placid gaze of Bill who, with sew
eral of his followers, had stolen silently into
the cave.
Jack made frantic dive for the outspread
handkerchief, but alas! he was too late. AT
a signal from their chief half dozen or more
athletic Malays sprang forward and, quickly
pinioned the sitting party-not roughly, but
simply as restraining their movements-whlile
their commander, with the same placid smile
and its contents, knotted the four corners to-
gether with wonderful swiftness, and, presto!
it was gone, as though by seight OF hand,
but whether up his sleeve, in the folds of his
dirty gown or down his throat, no man would

obvious reference to the vanished treasures

"This kind of thing has gone about far
enough" shouted the thoroughly enraged Mr..
Carline. And in the twinking of an eye a
coppor-colored Malay was flying through the
air like football is, till the side of
the cave brought him up with unpleasant sud-
denness
His second assailant was dashed against the
astonished Bill with such force that both went
spinning toward the entrance with rapidity
of which they had never dreamed.
Selling what he was pleased to call twig-
which happened to be heavy stick of red
wood. about four feet long and about the size
of his arm-from the fuel pile, the wrathful
Mr.. Carline turned to the assistance Of his
companions, but at the first symptoms of his
startling resistance, every Malay had run
for dear life, with the exception of the
one thrown across the cave, who was silently
creeping toward the entrance. Him, Mr..
Carline fastened with an application of his
foot in the rear, and they were left masters of
the situation.
Jack looked at Mr.. Carlne, who looked at
Fred who dropped on the floor Of the cave

prodgious yawn, "I move that we turn in

For Mr.. Carline's strong fingers were clutch

manner, and the alarmed commander melted
