SPRINGFIELD, Ill.,, Aug. 1.-two white
men were killed, one negro lynched,
more than half hundred persons In
jured, many seriously, and two score
of houses, mostly occupied by negroes,
were burned in this city last night as
a result of an attempt by a mob to
lynch negro who assaulted white
woman. The dead are:
LEWIS JOHNSON, aged H.
JAMES SCOTT, aged 70.
CHARLES HUNTER, a negro.
After night of riot, arson and
slaughter, the state troops called out
by Governor Deneen, succeeded early
this morning in restoring semblance
OF order One thousand miltiamen, in
Guiding three companies from this city,
are today patrolling the streets and 1t
is believed that further disorder will
be prevented
The rioting was precipitated by an
assault committed early yesterday
morning by negro upon Mrs. Mabel
Hallam, the wife of street car con-
ductor. While the woman slept alone
in her home on populous residence
street, awaiting the return of her hus-
band from his work, negro broke in
to the house, dragged her into the
rear yard and there criminally assault
ed her.
Alleged Ravisher Captured.
Before noon, George Richardson, a
young negro was arrested, charged
with the crime. The victim partially
identified the prisoner. At this juno
tion crowds quickly gathered about the
county JAIL but the sheriff's deputies
and Gordon Of police were able to
preserve order until nightfall without
much difficulty. Shortly after five
O'Clock successful rush was worked
and Richardson was spirited away. He
was taken to Bloomington and after
wards to Peoria for safekeeping. Rich
ardson was removed from the jail in
an automobile owned by Harry Loper,
wealthy restaurant man, who was
sworn in as deputy sheriff for the
purpose.

ed Bloody Riot.
Immediately after darkness fell a
great mob assembled in the vicinity
of the Jail and the sheriff offered to let
committee 90 through the jail, assur-
ing the mob that the prisoner had been
taken away. Then someone mentioned
that Loper had furnished the automo-
bile in which the escape was made.
Forthwith a rush was made for the
restaurant owned by Loper and
the mob completely wrecked the place.
His machine standing in front was ov-
erturned and set on fire. The fire de.
partment was called out, but could do
nothing as every line Of hose was cut.

been ordered out early in the after

AT this juncture the rioting broke
loose in a serious form. Shots were
fired and the air was full of flying mis-.
siles. Many fell wounded In the melee
and It was here that Johnson was
killed.
Negroes Flee In Terror.
The infuriated mob made rush for
the levee, which usually is thickly pop.
ulated with negroes, but most of them
had heard that the mob was after them

vented probable greater loss Of life.

attacked and their contents destroy.

WHAT OF R. R. TAXES?
Attorneys Are Here to Discuss the
New Law.

A number of well known railroad at
torneys are In Topeka today talking
over the fate Of the railroad companies
under the new system of assessment
and taxation, and also, it is said taking
a shot now and then at the probable
course of the railroad companies con-
corning the maximum freight rate or
der of the state board Of railroad COM
missioners. The railroad attorneys are
holding their meeting at the Copeland
hotel.
The railroads of Kansas do not know
yet quite what effect the new assess
ment law is going to have on their bus
mess, and they want to see whether 1t
is worth while to be on the defensive.
There is fear among some Of the rail-
road people that the new law will result
in the payment of more taxes by the
railroad companies, and this is one of
the things the railroad companies are
most anxious to avoid.
John Madden of the Missouri, Kansas
& Texas who is one of the most frank
and honest Of the railroad attorneys
when it comes to talking for publica-
ton, says:
THE railroads are confronted by
steadily decreasing earnings, and we
want to determine, if possible, what the
new plan of assessment and taxation
will do to US. We don't want our earn
ings to go any lower The value of our
property Is determined largely by the
earnings. There are some things about
the new law which are not we'll under
stood, and we are going to talk these
matters over
1t is said that the tax commission
itself invited the railroads to send their
attorneys here to talk over the assess
ment problems, and to consult with the
tax commission, If desired, about the
matters involved.
The tax commission also made a rul-
ing today which will be of interest to
the numerous farmers telephone con-
Germs throughout the state. 1t is held
that these concerns can not be assessed
as telephone companies, when each
farmer builds his own section of line
and owns it. but that such a line can
be assessed as personal property of the
farmer. for such portion of the line as
he owns The commissioners ruling is
as follows:
ut follows that a telephone line own
ed by combination of persons. each
of whom purchased his own telephone
and also furnished his own wire and
poles for his part of the line, and con-
structed his part to a connection with
the line of another member of the COM
bination, who did likewise as to his part
of the line, and so on throughout the
combination. the whole being intended

With sackcloth and ashes in sight
the local smart set might have been
expected to devote the last week be-
fore Lent to paying final tribute to the
world, the flesh and the devil but ex-
cept for few small and rather in
formal entertainments the pre-Lenten
season has been uncommonly dull this
year Usually there are few big
dances during the Mardi Gras season
but Mrs. Dudley's informal dinner
dance at the Country club last night
for Mr.. and Mrs. Guilford DudleV- who
returned last week from their wedding
trip to New York, and Mrs. W. p.
Walker of South Bethlehem, Pa,
stands out alone as the only dance OF

The annual Kappa Sigma dance in

colOrs, red, white and green. An art1-
fetal roof of southern smilax. and
masses of the same decoration on the
walls, huge bouquet of lilies OF the
valley, the fraternity flower, and car
nations at intervals, transformed the
sixty couples danced unwearledly.
Ozment's orchestra furnished music
to whose witching strains the dancers
moved till long past midnight
were: Misses Alpha Allen, Ruth Whit
hey and Imogene Davy of Carthage,
Miss Floyd Robenson of Topeka, Miss
Alice Aston of Kansas City. X.

The dance last night was the climax
of the house party that has been given
at the Kappa Sigma house the past
ten days. The visiting girls were en-
tanned at the Kappa house this after
noon. A box party will be given them
at the theater tonight.
Mrs. NJ. W. Van Valkenburg's lunch

occasion enjoyed by about thirty
