NIGHT RIDERS
ARE KILLED
PURSUED BY PossEMEN AFTER
SATURDAYS RAID AND SHOT
RESISTING ARREST.
voLlEY FIRED At OFFICERS
War Of determination 10 Being Waged
BY Determined Tobacco Growers
Soldiers Guard Lexington
For Trace Of FuaItives.

Lexington, Ky.-Actual warfare
has broken out in the deter.
mined efforts Of officers and citizens
to exterminate the band OF wanton
night riders which ere terrorizing the
entire community.
The first open clash came Monday
morning, when two members of the
gang which fired and t~errorized the
city OF Hopkinsville Saturday were
killed In an encounter with officers
and possemen.
The battle vas short and decisive.
Several members OF the gang were
surrounded, II Is said, and to the com
mand to surrender returned a volley
of shots. The possemen returned the
IRE IN two OF the gang were killed.
The others escaped on their horses.
Saturdays raid at Hopkinsville was
the boldest and most destructive OF
any ever made by the night riders.
After overpowering members of the
police and fire departments, the raid
ers fired several tobacco warehouses
and other buildings, shot and perhaps
mortally wounded q brakeman, who
was e~ndeavoring to move a string of
loaded freight cars out of the fire
zone, and publicly whipped an asso-
citation tobacco buyer. The loss to
property at Hopkinsville was over
5000, 900.
The death of the two night riders
Monday morning evidences that no
further trifing will be tolerated by
either officers or citizens. The least
resistance to arrest is the signal for
open hostil!ties, pistol and rife play
and the death Of the desperadoes.

Had Extraordinary Taste.

A woman with two little girls alight-
ed from her motor car for tea at a res
taurant in q midland town in England,
recently, and ate an extraordinary
meal. She ordered tea, a Welsh rab-
bit and a bottle OF port wine. When
the order had been given she took
from the cruet stand a bottk, of Wor-
cestershire sauce. put 1t to her lips
and emptied 1t down her throat. She
then lifted the anchovy sauce bottle
to her lips and emptied that. Then
she picked up a bottle Of tomato ketch-
up and drank that. The waitress had
now come in with the Welsh rabbit,
the port and the tea. Then the m
drank the port, then eagerly emptied
the mustard pot on the Welsh rabbit
and, while che was eating it, ordered
another bottle Of port. While her
mother was thus engaged one of the
little girls picked up the cream Jug,
put her tongue into 1t and licked 1t
out.

IN CONGRESS
HOUSE..

The newly appointed house com
mittee on banking and currency held
its first meeting Wednesday, spending
two and one-half hours in discuss.
ing the currency question In several
Of its phases. At the conclusion OF
the meeting several of the members
stated that as a result of the confer.
ence the members of the committee
were nov nearer together Than they
eve had been before, Notwithstanding
tn same men-with the exception Of
three-composed the committee dur
ing the Fifty.ninth congress.
The only definite action taken at
this initial meeting was the authoriz-
ing from the chair OF. the appointment
OF a subcommittee of five to draft and
submit a currency bill to correct the
present financial situation. There will
be no hearings before the convention
until the subcommittee has finished
It's task and the completed draft is In
the hands of the chairman.
The recurrence Of two phases OF the
currency question marked the confer.
ence. These we're: The creation Of
elasticity in the currency. and the
depositlng OF reserve balances in ma.
tlonal banks. The committee was ap-
parently agreed that II will sanction
no move to increase the bulk of pa
per money, but will conflne itself to
the consideration of the best meant
OF injecting elasticity. The plan OF
providing for the issuance OF national
bank credit notes, which can be in.
stantly drawn into circulation when
general condition require an in
creased currency, and retirement as
promptly as when the need has passed,
was presented and discussed at some
length.
The action of the house committee
or banking and currency at its first
meeting was in line with the we'll
known purpose OF Speaker Cannon
and the house leaders to make every
show of earnest effort to get currency
legislation, and, at the same time,
make the least haste possible. The
purpose in the house is to put the issue
up to the senate. The members of
the lower body are carefully trying
to create the impression in the coun.
try that they are ready to act, but
will not put a bill through to be emas.
culated, and, perhaps, talked to death
in the senate.

YALE MASCOT
RECENT DEATH OF HANNIBAL
REGRETTED BY ALL.
Quaint Old Negro Candy Man Had an
Interesting career-sald to Hav.
Been More Than a Cen.
fury Old.

The death Of Hannibal, the negro
candy man, has left Yale with no mas
cot but Pop" Warner. the cross-eyed
expressman, whose auto truck now
takes an Official crowd to all the ath.
letic games. Pop" has Just made his
debut, and It will be years before he.
attains the fame of Pop Smith,
"Davy, the candy man." Murray, the
hickman" and Hannibal.
In many respects Hannibal was the
most remarkable of the long list of
Yale favorites. He was gifted with a
versatility granted to few men, black
or white. He was one OF the campus
favorites In 1869. when G. F. Woods
wrote In -Four Years al Yale."
Candy Sans chief rival is a crafty
black man named Hannibal, whose en-
trance into the room is always ac-
companied by some such formula as:
Not wishing to disturb the gentlemen
In their studies I call to see II either
OF the gentlemen would like to invest
In purchasing from me some packages
OF superior old-fashioped homemade
molasses candy This rigmarole, like
The rest Of Hannibal's speeches, is de-
uyered with the greatest appearance
OF gravity and without pause or In.
Election Of any sort"
Hannibal's age was In dispute. He
was said to have crossed the century
mark. One Of his original sayings
when asked how old he was used to be
thAt ha had n fat,N .---.- -
the first thunderstorm In Connecticut.
The mock Orations he delivered will
live In h memory of Yale men as
long as they cherish a recollection of
the university. and hardly an alumnus
Will read OF his death without re-
calling some anecdote Of the old Segro
who sold candy, gave boxing lessons,
sieight OF hand exhibitions, sang and
danced and made speeches on all
occasions.
Early In life he was an instructor
In boxing in the Yale gymnasium. He
was one OF the quickest pugilists in
action who ever struck a blow, and he
met George Dixon in several bouts
without the former z worlds
champion getting the decision. He
was thrown into a room with John l..
Sullivan when that champion was at
the height of his popularity. John l..
at that time weighed more than $50
pounds, and when Hannibal was asked
II he wished to meet the champion he
answered: Hannibal Is not Mahomet,
n must refuse to mix It up with the
mountain"
Approaching a group OF college stu.
dents. Hannibal used to say: Not
wishing to interrupt the gentlemen,
and wholly In the search for knowl-
edge. which has been my unvarying
custom through life, I would like to
ask the gentlemen here a question,
What is the first thing a gentleman
puts on when he gets up In the morn
ing?"
Everybody took a chance in an
swering, and when ell had finished
Hannibal would say: Not wishing to
place myself above the gentlemen
present In knowledge, l beg to say
that all you gentlemen are wrong. The
first thing a gentleman puts on In the
morning is his foot-on the floor"
His Latin orations were his spe-
cialities. He had attended commence
ments half a century ago. had learned
by heart some of the addresses and
had copied the pronunciation of the
speakers.
