The attempt at Springfield, Ohio, to
exterminate the negro residents is not
the first outrage OF the sor: that has oc-
CURED in that State. 1t is not many
years since it was necessary for a regi-
ment of the national guard to fire on the
furious mob that was bent en- wreckiDg
a court house in order to get at a negro.
But General Keifcr, of Ohio, is pecu-
liarly disturbed by the unhappy fate Of
negroes in the South, as is pertinently
remarked by the Philadelphia Record.

agership of the track team, giving as his
reason the interference OF his duties in

largely supported by the State, regards
his studies as paramount to his athletics.

defense.

RAILWAYS FINED.
Prosecution of the Various Rebate
Cases.

In spite of the fact that the prosecution
government a great deal of money. it is
considerably ahead of it's expense account
in the matter of fines. The Elkins law has
been on the statute books for some time
but 1t has been actively worked since last
January. Two agencies have co-operated
in the work of prosecution. The inter-
state commerce commission has worked I'D
the facts and turned them over to the De-
partment of Justice, by which the cases
have been fought and the fines collected.
There have been a large number of cases
recently in which large fines have been col
lected by the government. 1t will be recol-
lected that sentences aggregating $4,000
were imposed recently at Kansas City, and
$4,000 in similar at Milwaukee.
There have been besides the rebate cases
a number of cases in which the safety ap-
pliance act has been violated by the rail
roads, and prosecutions have been brought
by the Department of Justice under this
law, too. Most of the railroads have simply
confessed Judgment and paid the fines, apd
there are now over a hundred similar cases
pending The probability is that similar
action will be taken in most of these
cases. Altogether since about last January
S2S3, O75 collected by the government from
the railroads, considerably more than
ering the cost of prosecution and of work
ing up the evidence. There are number
of other cases pending and more will be
brought under the Nte law, the new
law carrying a Jail sentence in connection
with the fine in the rebate cases.

LIFE-SAVING SERVICE GUN.
Proposed to Improve Apparatus for
Throwing Life Lines.

The Secretary of the Department of Com
merce and Labor has requested the Sec
rotary of War to detail Lieut.. Col. David
A. Lyle of the ordnance department TO
special duty with the life-saving service,
with a view to the possible Improvement
of the Lyle gun, used in throwing life lines
To vessels in distress for the purpose OF
rescue. The gun now used for that pur-
pose adopted by the service in 1919,
and, although it has proved most effective
in many cases, it is believed to be suscepti-
BILE of even better results if certain modern
ideas could be Incorporated. Col. Lyle had
a great deal to do with the introduction
of the present apparatus, and the super
intendent of the life saving service desires
to have the benefit of his knowledge and
experience in the Introduction of new and
improved apparatus designed to increa Sc
the power and usefulness of the gun. The
request for the detail of Col. Lyle Will I'M
doubtedly be granted. He is now in COM
niand of the Augusta arsenal, Georgia.
