Springfield, H., Aug. 15.-springfield
Is in the hands of a mob of enraged
citizens who began last night to wreak
vengeance on negro residents for an as
sault committed yesterday by George
Richardson, a negro, on Mrs. Hallam
a white woman. At ! o'clock this
morning the whole east end of the
town burst into flames, the torch hav-
ing been applied to several negro
houses by some Of the more desperate
mobbers. Two men are already dead
and probably two score others are in
jured, mostly negroes. The rabble is
sweeping through the streets attacking
every negro met. All the local militia
are on duty and half dozen companies
from other cities are rushing here.
Still other companies are ordered to
hold themselves In reserve. The fire
department Is at present helpless to
combat the flames in the negro quar-
ter on account Of the threatening atti-
tude Of the mob towards the firemen.
The dead are G. ]. Scott and Louis
Johnson,
Richardson and another negro, want

IMDO-CHINESE SITUATION
Semi Official Denial That II Is as Sc
rl0us as Reported.

Paris, Aug 14.-A semi-official state
ment issued here today declares that
the situation In Indo-China, as describe
ed in letters received here three days
ago, is greatly exaggerated. In these
communications It was said that re-
evolutionary outbreak was feared, and
that in the last few months one hum
dred native soldiers had been mas
sacred and four native and six French
officers killed As a matter Of fact
the frontier strife with the Chinese
revolutionists is practically at an end.
and the interior situation is not seri-
Gus. Only In AMMAN are there any
evidences of agitation.
The Matin today expresses the opin-
ion that the recent outbreaks In this
territory are In reality a result of the
military successes of the Japanese,
whose victories over the forces of Rus
STA aroused the militant spirit OF the
Asatic world. The paper says that
adequate reforms will satisfy the ma
tives and bring about control OF the
situation.

BALDWIN BALLOON
A TRAINING SHIP
Governments New Dirigible to

OvERDOSED WITH THEORY
Baldwin Meets Successfully the Test
for Speed, Sailing at Average of
Sixteen and a Half Miles

Washington. Aug. 14.--Everything
win military dirigible balloon by the
government, interest now centers in
the uses to which the airship will be
put after II becomes the property Of
the Signal corps. It is evident that
It will be used principally for train
ing officers and men Of the aeronautl-
cal division In the handling OF a diri-
gble balloon, as the airship is too
small TO be of much practical value
in actual warfare.
Most OF the army officers are 10 some
extent handicapped by the great
amount of theory with which they
have been weighted down. For this
reason the signal corps will reap I'M
told benefits from the experiments
which Messrs. Lahm and selfridge will
be able to carry on with a dIrlgible
balloon.
Captain Baldwin fulfilled the second
requirement for the acceptance of his
military dirigible balloon by making
two successful speed trials al Fort
Myer this evening A week ago the
airehip was accepted so far as con-
structlon is concerned and tomorrow II
Is expected that the endurance trial
will be made. Capt. Baldwin is al
lowed three flights 10 fulfil the endur-
ance specifications. The course fol-
lowed tonight was a new one In the
direction of Cherrydale, Va, two and
a sixteenth miles from the starting
point
II is said that the average speed for
the flight was about sixteen and one
half miles per hour.
After replenishing the supply Of gas
oline, Captain Baldwin went off on an
other official speed trial, the last OPP
portunlty he would have to get bonus
on his contract price Of $3.50. The air
ship made the two and one-slxteenth
miles run in seven minutes, and the
returne to Fort Meyer In less than that

The Boston News Bureau yesterday
said: The directors Of the New York,

failure of traffic conditions to show

We understand that during July the
New Haven road showed o gross de-
crease OF about 100000, as compared
with year ago while the net was
about 100000 below July, 1907
For the year ended June 90 the road
will probably show a surplus above
fixed charges equal to per cent on
the stock. against per cent. paid, but
President Melen is not lacking in con-
fdence that the business situation will
improve in the near future.
There have been those, however, in
the councils Of the New Haven road
who have urged reduction from s
per cent. to per cent, but Mr., Mel
len says such action IS not to be
thought Of for a moment, and that the
next two dividends at least will be the
regular quarterly rate of per cent.
When Mr.. Melen was in Boston q
few days ago he stated that the com
pany had in bank, subject to check
