The Benecia Arsenal of
Real Value.
BH Associated Press.

Washington, July 20.-General Gro
zier, chief of ordnance, has returned
from the Pacific coast, where he ex-
amined the Benecia arsenal IN Cali
fornia, for the improvement Of the
plants of which congress has made
an appropriation. General Crozier re-
ported the affairs of the al senal in
good shape, and confirmed the plans
for it's improvement. Owing to the
high price in labor and material on
the Pacific coast, it has heretofore
not been found advisable to undertake
the manufacture of small arms or bis
guns on the coast, but now to main
tain the force of trained mechanics
and keep open the line of supply OF
ordnance material necessary to make
the Benecia arsenal o. greatest value
TO the war department General Gro
zier has planned to have constructive
work undertaken there to moderate
extent.

To IMPROVE
THE QUALITY
Steel Trust Harkens to the
Complaints Regarding
Rotten Rails.
BY Associated Press.

Pittsburg, Pa, July 20.--Annoulce-
ment is made that the Carnegie Steel
company is TO completely rehabili:ate
the Edgar-Thompson steel plant in
Braddock at a cost of about $4,000
900. 1t is said to be the fnJentiOn
of the company so to change the pro-
cess of rolling rails that it is believed
it will overcome much of the cause
for complaint lately made by railroad
companies Two drastic and radical
changes are to be made in the pro-
cess. One is the doubling of the size
of the ingot molds used for casting
the steel ingots from which the rails
are rolled. The other is the opera
ton of the plants with electric power.
1t is also the purpose of the COM
pany, it is said, to build open hearth
furnaces and to furnish rails of that
steel when desired.

Question Broke the Tension
and Danger of Trouble
Died at Hahnville.
A MILlTlAMAN'S UNMILITARY
BUT VERY EFFECTIVE METHOD
OF TURNING A THREATENED
TRAGEDY INTO A JOKE AND
PREVENTING BLOODSHED.
BY Associated Press

Hahnville, La, July 2O.-A dozen
militiamen faced a mob of 100 would
be lynchers here early today and
without firing a shot, sent them back
to New Orleans, the most peaceable
of men. There is now no sign of vio-
lence. Control over the mob was
gained at the moment that an I'M
equal fight threatened, by a remark
draWled in soft Southern accent by d
militiamen, who asked, ANY of you
fellerS got any cigarettes.
Situation Cleared.
A laugh breeZed over the crowd,
and with this break in the tension,
an ugly situation cleared up. The
posse had arrived at Hahnville on Il
freight train running ahead of a
special out OF New Orleans bearing
two companies of militia hurried here
for the express purpose of heading off
such an attack Rumors that a mob
was coming had been circulating for
several hours, and had occasiened
the placing of extra sentries by the
$50 militiamen posted about the
HahnVille Jail to guard the four Ital-
ians convicted of conspiracy in the
kidnapping and murder of the La
mana boy.
Lynchers' Arrive.
The posse jumped from the freight
train at the railroad station which
is over a mile from the Jail. They
covered two telegraph operators there
with revolvers in order to prevent an
alarm and then started for the Jail.
1t is said that the leader was man
prominent in the state militia but
iS hor
of the posse believed that the militia
men who were nearly all from the
same city as themselves would not
protect the prisoners.
Fixed Bayonets.
A short distance from the railroad
station the lynchers suddenly were
confronted by Major Wheat and a
bare handful of his men. The militia
men stood with guns leveled at their
waists and the mob members halted
revolvers and Clubs in menacing po
sitions. Scarcely a man moved, and
not a word was spoken for nearly
minute. and then the militiaman
with happy inspiration, recalled the
comradeship of both sides by his
homely request for a smoke. I'm
mediately, a leader in the mob spoke
up: I'VE want just word with tn:
captain
Lynchers Retire
Major Wheat replied that there
would be no talking, that unless the
mob marched off Immediately for the
railroad station, he would give the
| order to fire and he assured then
that his men would not shoot high.
This appeared to be what the moi
had come to find out, for some of then
exclaimed come on boys, we arc
going back" and all started for. the
railroad. They had reached the track
and were proceeding to the station
when the special bearing the rein
| forcements came in at a speed whicf
| forced several men who were crowd
ed on low trestle' to jump into {
creek No one was hurt and the
emptied special was loaded with th5
mob members and sent to New Or

clares that Christian named Mepnikoff,
who was ostensibly attacked by Jews was
tortured and scalped. Mepnikoff is said to
have denied that his assailants were Jews,
and examination of his head reveals that
he was not scalped, but his hair was simply
shaved off in spots. Jewish leaders at

trumped UP the story to incite the populace
