Attorney Takes Charge of Rustin Inc
 veatfnaffOn.


 Omaha. Neb.. Sept. 14--A new task was taken in the Rustin case by the auth critics today when the county at- torney took charge of the investiga- tion relegating the police to second position in the conduct of the case.
 This action was taken because of adverse criticism directed against the police department for failing to re- port certain cIews because of appar- ent insignificance but which later were found to be of importance in fixing the responsibility for Dr. Rus tins death.
 Owing to rewards which have been offered for the discovery of the pistol with which the shooting was done. several hundred boys and school chill dren hunted all day Sunday over the four blocks of vacant weed covered property immediately in the rear of the Rustin home, but there were no results.

When Henry Grady was asked why

When Henry Grady was asked why the Jews had not taken Atlanta, he an- swered, "The East Tennessee folks got here first" We fully realized the force of this after an all-day session with shrewd Chattanooga trader who came by Atlanta on his way to Baltimore to buy an opening bill While he finally placed the order for Two Thousand Dollars, he never was really converted until he had spent an hour in the facto- y. Here's what he said:
 ''I have been in many shoe factories both East and West; while of them are larger than yours, don't believe 1 ever well ap pointed in every detail. You've got monopoly on these onepiece alleather heels. never anyone else them, and these Oak Inner Soles to be as heavy most folks use for October Soles'
 As we came out, he added:
 "You re wise to all this land around here for, if you keep making shoes the way you started, the people will find it out, and when they do you Il have to build this all up in shoe fac tories.'

The race riots in Springfield, Ill, have aroused the indignation of the people in all parts of the union. All are agreed that the negroes should have paid the penalty for the crimes they committed, but the punishment should have been inflicted by the courts and not by mobs who took the administration of justice into their own hands. The plea is made that the court machinery would have moved so slowly and unsatisfactorily that the punishment would not have fitted the crime. This may or may not be true. If it is, the need of change in the personnel of the Illinois magistrates is evident. Lynching is not in accord anee with the principles of Amerlcan government and it cannot be tolerated if law and order are to survive.

GUERNSEY CATTLE CLUB
Held Its First Meeting at Chapinville
 Last Week.


 The first field meeting of the newly organized Connecticut Cattle Club was held at the farm of R. and H. Scoville on Friday of Inst week. Beside breeders of note from this state, there were pres ent the President and Secretary of the American Guernsey Club and promi- nent breeders from Massachusetts and New York. Owing to the wreck on the Central New England near Hartford many of the guests were tranported by automobile from Canaan.
 After spending the morning in look. ing over the fine stable and the milking herd, all were invited to lunch served by Mrs. Phelps on the spacious lawn at the farm house. The lunch was, with the exception of the bread stuffs. pro- vided entirely from the products of the farm and gardens of the estate, and was pronounced great success. The after noon was spent in the inspection of young stock in the nearby pasture and i'll the further examination of the herd The famous Island prize winning bull, Masher's Sequel, recently imported by Messrs. Scoville, was a constant center of attraction. Several daughters of this noted animal, which have recently come into milking, proved of much interest because of their fine dairy qualities The weather was perfect for out-of-door en- tertainment, and. except for the delays caused by the railroad wreck, everyone seemed to enjoy the day.

 The game betweenSalisbury andLake- vile on Saturday was well played, and except for the first inning, Laksville was long way from having "cinch. !" In the ninth, Lakeyille's umpire, Di- rector Manager Norton went in, out of turn, as judge of balls and strikes, and to that fact Salisbury largely ascribes her failure to score. Two men were on bases, nobody out and one of Salisbury's luckiest hitters at bat. Two strikes had been called and Traver threw ball so low that the catcher almost picked 1t from the ground, way below the knee as everybody says who saw it, but the Manager Umpire said Out" neverthe- less. Other decisions that he made thsoughout the game were at least open to criticism and the Salisbury players and spectators felt strongly that they were not getting square deal.
 It seems most ill-judged to allow any one, having such intimate relations with the players As the manager must have, to serve as umpire. Though a manager in that posltion strive his hard est to be fair. he will, unconsciously or otherwise, see points in favor of his nine. If the directors should establish rule that no director nor manager may act as

In their search for 8 substance which will act as asa.binder and dust eradicator on the highways, coal tar has been tried by the authorities in some sections. The announcement comes from Massachu setts that this has not operated satisfac- torily. In some instances the surface of the road has caked and chunks have been pulled out In places, leaving the surface rough and uneven. The expert mentors are not disheartened. however. They believe tar will accomplish the desired results when the proper method of mixing and applying the same is dis covered.

Perhaps there has been more interest in base ball in northwestern Litchffeld county than there is at the present time but it has not been in recent years. The Housatonic Valley League has caused base ball enthusiasm in some of the viii
 lages such as was never known before. And next years league should be even more interesting and successful. The organization was perfected along origi- nal lines and, although experience has shown that in some respects it was crude it has thus far operated practically as its originators expected. The weak points in the constitution of the league are now evident and few changes here and there will make of it almost model for the guidance of vicinity base ball leagues.
