PARIS. July I3-Frederick G Whit
ney. the theatrical manager OF Detroit
end New York, has had an amusing
adventure.
He brought his touring automobile
with him and started for Florence.

OF French, nor had they any knowledge
Of the country, but they had made UP
their minds 10 dine at Lyons-and this.
although they did not start from Paris
until the afternoon.
They had a map which Mr. Whitney
and his secretary studied carefully. but
evidently with not sufficient knowledge
for after several hours hard driving
they found that instead OF being near
the Mediterranean they were on the out
skirts OF Rouen.
This was sufficiently annoying. but
when they decided to return 70 Paris
they found they had forgotten 10 take
cut an automobile license. without which
they had the greatest difficulty In get
ling into the capital
When all these difficulties were hnaIIly
settled. Mr.. Whitney and his party-
started out again for Florence.

BERLIN. July 13.-By the Kaisers or

gowns. as at Covent Garden. London
Wilhelm III is determined to have a bril-

thorities Of the Montgomery county Jail
are exercising extra precautions this
morning. as they did all night, to de-
fend the jail against an imminent at
tempt TO release and lynch Frank CAT
fey. colored doctor who is charged
with malpractice on white women.

result Of grand jury investigation. The
immediate charge against him was the

the probe of the jury progressed. it has
been determined that many reputable
white women submitted to the negro
doctors knife.
The entire State is now aroused, and,
while the scandal growing out of the
disclosure will be enormous, this fact
seems lost sight OF in the mad demand
for the negros life.
Reputable business and professional
men, among the latter the city's most
prominent doctors, declare Caffey should
be lynched. The jail authorities have
been informed that the attack on the
county prison will be made tonight. CAT
