MOB'S WORK APPROVED
ANOTHER STORY OF CONDITIONS

Notwithstanding the presence of armed
troops the fact that grand jury has been
called to indict the leaders OF Saturday
nights mob that the county prosecutor has
promised to issue warrants during the day,
and the best citizens have decried the triple
lynching the streets today were full OF pao-
pie who approve the work Of the mob. and
who curse all negroes, and advise that the
negroes be run out Of town.
Danger of mob violence Is not past. Hun
dreds of men openly curse and jeer the SOL
diers Hundreds Of men boldly utter the
threat that IL arrests are made the people
will arise and rescue the men and drive
the militia as well as the negroes from the
city. Everywhere this threat Is heard:
This town Is too small for negroes and
whites to live One or the other must go. !"
Trend OF Public Feeling.
An incident showing the trend Of the
feeling took place here today near the
court house, where hundreds of people
were gathered, walking aimlessly about
negro, leaning against the court house.
with the troops near by, made the remark
in a swagger manner: Give the colored
men the guns and we'll show you" White
men threatened to close In on the negro,
but officers hustled him away to jail. In
another minute apparently he would have
been trampled to death. Conservative clti-
zens knowing how deep seated Is the feel
ing here toward the negroes. fear that some
trivial incident may at any time start
bloody riot.

In Regard to Glove Industry An
nounced by Director North.


Director North of the census bureau an
nodnced today the result OF the tabulation
of the statistics of leather gloves and nit
tens for the calendar year 1904. forming a
part of the census of manufactures OF 1905.
which was taken in conformity with the
act OF Congress of March @. 1902
The figures indicate that there has been
a fair increase in the Industry in the United
States as compared with the statistics OF
1900 which covered the fiscal year ending
May 81. A decrease in the number OF wage
earners and amount of wages is explained
by the fact that piece workers, who per
form certain branches OF the work of glove
making Mt their homes on contract. and
W no constitute considerable proportion or
the employees In the Industry, We're In 400
included on the schedules as regular wage
earners while in 1906 only the compensa-
ton paid them was taken into account, pe-
ing charged to miscellaneous expenses
The number of factories producing these
articles is given as KID in 1905 and 3si in
1900 with capital In 1905 of Slo.1 S.oy9
and in 1890 of 1904 i27. Ths aggregate
value of the products in 1908 was Sl'.'4o'-
So an increase Of 81 per cent
The director also announced the result
of the tabulation OF the statistics for the
manufacturing industries of the state o.
Massachusetts for the calendar year 1901
forming a part Of the census OF mahutac-
turers of 1908.
This census was taken in conformity with
the act of Congress of March q. 1902, and
is confined TO the manufacturing estab-
llshments with a product of $500 and over
thus excluding the neighborhood Industries
and hand trades. such as the building

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,

The House Immediately after the ap-
prevail OF the journal plunged into the work
set out for it under the suspension of the
rules
Mr.. Gillette (Mass.), from the committee
on appropriations reported the District of
Columbia appropriation bill.
Mr.. Curtis (Kan.) presented a concurrent
resolution authorizing that In the enroll
'ment of the bill providing for the final dis
position of the five civilized tribes in the
Indian Territory the clerk be directed to
restore to the bill the part proposed to be
stricken out in one of the amendments of
the Senate.
The amendments sought to be inserted are
in the nature of corrections. one amend
ment, however. being entirely new matter
and providing for the sale of all buildings
now heretofore used for governmental,
school and other tribal purposes.
Mr.. Curtis stated that the mistakes in the
bill were discovered after the conference
report had been signed, and that II these
corrections were not made three sections
of the bill would be homogeneous.
Mr.. DeArmond (Mo.) thought that legs-
Iation by resolution was dangerous. On
this ground he was opposed to the resolu-
ton.
The rules were suspended and the resoiu-
ton adopted.
Loans by National Banks.
Mr.. Shartel (Mo) called up the bill amend
ing the Revised Statutes relating to ma
tional banks National banks have hereto
fore been limited in making loans so that
they could not loan to exceed 10 per cent
of their capital to any one concern. The
bill which Mr.. Shartel called up adds the
surplus to the capital stock for loan pur-
poses, provided no loan shall exceed 70 per
cent OF the capital stock.
Mr.. Shartel said the purport of the bill
was to allow the national banks to make
somewhat larger loans than 10 per cent OF
their capital stock The banks. he said.
were demanding the legislation. and the
necessity for some such relief had been rec
commended by every controller of the cur
rency since the inauguration of the national
banking system.
committee on banking and currency, said
the bill was In the interest of the large Dor
rover and against the small borrower,
thereby lessening the cost of administration:
1t was his opinion that the bill was inimicaI
to the broad theory of the national banking
act. He argued that IL the bill became a
law a penalty should be provided for the
violation of its provisions. He said that
the controller Of the currency made the
startling statement that 10 per cent of the
banks pay no attention to the present pro-
vision limiting the Joaning capacity Of the
bank to any one person. firm, etc, to 10
per cent of Its capital stock and he be-
lieyed good. stiff penalty ought to be pro-
vided to compel the banks to keep the law.
Mr. Pujo (La.) said that should this
legislation be enacted 1t would add to the
legal lending volume about $44,0000 900, as
the surplus is now some SAP 900 900"
Mr.. DeArmond tMo.) thought the legis-
Iation was in the interest or the bankers,
and not the people.

SECRETARY HITCHCOCK HEARD.
Inquiry Begun into the Operation OF
the Reclamation Act.

The third annual general inquiry of the
House committee on irrigation regarding
the general operation of the national re-
clamation act was begun today. Secretary
Hitchcock of the Interior Department was
before the committee and answered many
questions to details and methods of
bookkeeping, etc. to bring out the posi-
bility of keeping the fund intact, and at
the same time manipulating 1t to the full
extent in the development of irrigation
projects @@
The secretary stated that including The
irrigation projects under construction, those
which are contemplated and those approved
but not begun. there will have been spent
on June 80, 1908. s37 .000, 900, and that the
estimated receipts from the operation of
the law up to that time will be about half
a million dollars more than that amount
Besides, 1t is estimated, there will be re
turn from settlers on irrigated lands
amounting to 81 200, 600
Some time was spent in discussion of
the method of doing the work in the con-
struction of the GunniSOn tunnel in Colo
RADIO The firm securing this contract
failed. and after receiving other bids, which
were considerably higher than the original
successful bid. the government decided to
carry on the work Itself, hiring the needed
laborers, etc. This method is known as
the force system, and as there was some
doubt as to whether the law permitted this
manner of operation many questions were
asked concerning it,
The Secretary said he had some doubts
regarding the proper construction of the
law in the ma< ter and was having the sub
ject investigated by his legal department
He has not received report from this
investigation. There no question that
the work in question was. progressing rap
idly and satisfactorily under the force
method. but for future guidance this ques-
ton viii be considered by the committee
as a precedent.
