Women should never forget that they stand

themselves on an equality with man they do

PLEA FOR A SMOKE

Ludicrous Incident Hats Mob on Way
to Lynch Italians at Hahn
vile, La.

HAHNVILLE, La, July 20. - A
dozen militiamen faced a mob of 1OO
would-be lynchers here early today and
without firing a shot sent them peace,
ably back to New Orleans.
Control over the mob was gained by
a remark drawled in soft southern &C
cent by militiaman, who asked:
ANY of you fellows got a CigaretteF
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
a freight train. Rumors that a mob was
coming had occasioned the placing of ex'
ira sentries by the militia.
Soldiers Surprise Posse.
The posse jumped from the freight
train at the railroad station which is
over a mile from the Jail, covered two
telegraph operators there with revolvers
in order to prevent an alarm, and then
started for the Jail.
A short distance from the railroad
station the lynchers suddenly were con
fronted by Maj. Wheat and bare hand,
full of his men. With the militiamen's
guns levelled at their waists, the mem,
bers of the mob halted, revOlvers and
clubs held il menacing positions. Scarce
ly man moved and not a word was
spoken for nearly minute and then the
militiaman with the 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;

Lynchers Start Back.
Maj. Wheat replied that there would
be no talking; that unless the moi
marched off Immediately for the railroad
station. he would give the order to fire.
This appeared to be what the mob had
come to find out, for some of them ex.
claimed: "Come on boys, we are going
back" and all started for the railroad.
They had reached the track and were
proceeding to the station, when the spe-
cial train bearing the reinfOrcements
came in at a speed which forced severa.
