COMMENT ON LYNCHINGS.
Booker Washington. Speaks of the
 Troubles of His Race.

New York, August 19-The World tomorrow will print signed statement from Booker T. Washington, made at Baltimore today in which the negro educator comments at length upon re- cent lynchings. In his statement, MT. Washington says:
 within the past 60 days 25 negroes have been lynched in different parts of the United States. Of this number only four of the 25 were even charged with criminal assault upon women. How long can our Christian civiliza ton stand this? I am making no special plea for the negro, innocent or guilty, but I am calling attention to the dan ger that threatens our civilization.
 Mob justice undermines the very foundation upon which our civiliza tion rests, viz; Respect for the law and con- fidence in its security. There are, in my opinion. two remedies-first of all let us unite in determined effort everywhere to see that the law is en- forced, that all people at all times and all places see that the man charged with crime is given a fair trial.
 "Secondly, let all good citizens unite in an effort to rid the communities especlally the large cities, of the idle VICIOUS and gambling element"

BRYAN'S MULE IS
 FOND OF TRICKS

Fairview, Lincoln. Neb., August 19.-The advent today of the trick mule which was presented to W. J. Bryan by the Minne- sota State Agricultural society, was made memorable because of an incident which occurred during the afternoon, in which the mule and an eastern newspaper cor respondent were the central figures. When announcement was first made of the &C., count that the animal had been present. ed this particular correspondent served notice that he would be the first to ride him. Today the opportunity came, with the result that the correspondent tonight is nursing a sore head and a badly bruised leg. caused by being hurled into the air by the mule, which had been trained to permit no one to ride him. MT. Bryan witnessed the proceedings, and exhibited a good deal of solicttude for the correspondent. The mule was taken back to the stable, and there is small likelihood that he will be permitted to display any more of his talents.
 The day otherwise was without incident. When MT. Bryan starts on his ten days trip tomorrow night he will have com pleted nearly all the set speeches he will make during that time. He practically denied himself to all visitors today, de- siring to utilize every available moment in completing his work.

PROVINCES MAY DROP FROM TURKEY

Vienna August 19.-The rumors which have been current that Bosnia and Herze- govina, together forming an appendage of the Austro- Hungarian monarchy and being virtually part of it, although nom- inally included in the Turkish empire, would issue a proclamation yesterday of the annexation of the provinces by Aus tro-Hungary on the occasion of Emperor Francis Josephs birthday, caused con siderable excitement here but have proveds to be without foundation. The rumors probably are a result of quick ened agitation in favor of granting con- stitution. which has been noticeable since recent developments in the Turkish ques- ton. The future status of Bosnia and Herzegovina has been the subject of min isterial discussions recently, and was touched upon at the meeting of Baron von Aehrenthral, the Austro-Hungarian foreign minister, and Sir Charles Hard inge, the British permanent under secre- tary of the foreign office, on the occasion of King Edwards visit. There is no doubt. although Austria is disinclined to grant a constitution, that she will be im- nelIed to take some step to satisfy the growing demand of the occupied provinces for some form of representative govern ment. and it is believed that she will be willing to concede the creation of diet.
 Baron won Aehrenthal made detailed statement of foreign affairs as affected by the Turkish situation at the meeting of the common Austro-Hungarian ministers and premiers here today. The meeting was held to consider the budget, and it is thought likely that the proposals for such a diet will be submitted again in detail at the autumn meeting of the delega- tionS.

This game will be the one to decide the championship of the league, the opponents being the Stars and Tri- angles. now tied for first place.

The winning team will have it's picture placed on the walls of the gymnasium. A great deal of interest is being shown as to who will be the for tunate ones.
 The game tonight will bring to a close one of the most successful indoor base ball leagues ever conducted in the city. The series began in July with four teams, the Stars, Triangles Diamonds and Cres- cents, and has run very successfully until the present time. The players have taken hold of the game with great enthusiasm. The attendance on the part of friends has been most encouraging. As has been customary every Thursday night, after the games a social hour will be indulged in by the visitors and players.

HANS BROTHERS
 HELD FOR MURDER

New York, August 19.-After being out 22 minutes, a coroner's jury to- night brought in verdict that William E. Annis, who was killed last Saturday at Bayside, L. l., came to his death as the result of pistol shot wounds in fiicted by Capt Peter c. Hains. Jr, U, s. A, aided and abetted by Thornton Jenkins Hains, his literary brother.
 There was a greater crowd than the little court room in the town hall at Flushing. L. l.. could hold when the inquest began, and hundreds of men and women awaited the verdict outside although both defense and prosecution did not consider the inquest of much inportance since Capt. Hains admits the shooting and there were many wit nesses to it.
 When the jurymen filed into the room and the foreman announced the yer dict, there was a demonstration. Cor oner Amb1er had to rap with his gavel and court officials had to caution the spectators for an attempt was made to applaud the verdict. Maj. John Powell Hains, who has come here from Chica- go to stand by his brothers, and who was sitting beside Capt. Hains, grip per his brother by the arm and whis- l pered words of encouragement as- l surfing him that the inquest would have l little bearing on his case.
 In the excitement, crowd gathered around Thornton Jenkins Hains and 1 began to question Him IS to the tragedy l in which he played such an important part. He was asked if he felt justified | in holding a crowd at bay with re- l volver while his brother shot doWr | Annis.

CLOTHIER WINS
 FROM R. D. LITTLE

Newport, R. l.. August 19.-Tennis at the Casino today was not up to champion- ship form, for the star match of the day between former Champion William J. Clothier of Philadelphia and R. D. Little of New York, another crack player, was won by the former without difficulty, while straight set victories and r de- faults in the other matches disappointed the crowd which had anticipated better sport
 The Clother-Little match was placed on the championship court, and as Little had defeated his opponent only three weeks before at Longwood, a brilliant and long drawn out contest was anticipated. Clothier, however, won in less than an hour in straight sets, 6-2, 6-2, 6-3.
 Among the other winners of the day were F. E. Alexander of New York, R. Stevens of Hoboken Robert Leroy of New York and L. c. Butler of Boston
