MILITIA PREVENTS LYNcHINe.
North Carolina Troops Protect Negro
from Angry Mob. .,.

Wilmington, N. G., Jan. 20.-The
local military company at Clinton, N :,
c., was called out last night by Gov.
Kitchin to protect the Jail there from
the attack of a mob of Infatuated citi,
gems who threatened summary ven.
geance upon William Ward, a negro
who made an attempt to assault Mrs
W. ]. Mcleod, wife of citizen OF
Moltonville, four miles from Clinton.
The negro is alleged to have entered
the home where Mrs. Mcleod was
alone, choked her and threatened to
cut her throat wher she broke away
and ran screaming into the yard. The
negro was in the act Of dragging her
back into the house when her screams
attracted young white man who
reached the scene in time to see the
negro flee to the woods. Bloodhounds
from the county convict camp at Clin-
ton were put on the trail three hours
later, and the negro was finally cap
tured after some resistance in the
edge of swamp. He was identified
by Mrs. Mcleod and hurried to Clin-
ton by the sheriff, who asked for the
military protection when the crowd
began to gather.

Chicago, Jan. -Seventy-five men
employed on the water works crib sew
|enal miles ont in Lake Michigan,
jumped into the icy waters of the lake
this morning when the crib burned
Telephone reports say several were
drowned. When the fire broke out
the men were trapped and We're con-
Fronted with the alternative of burn
Ing to death in the crib, or risking
death in the water. All took chances
in the lake.
After bringing the injured ashore
tugs returned to the crib to recover
the bodies of those trapped. Cries
of the surviving workmen hanging on
the edge OF the crib were heard by
men on the tug long before they reach
ed the crib, The heat was so intense,
however, that the tugs were unable to
reach the men.
Between sixty and seventy men
were caught in the crib. The number
drowned is impossible to ascertain.
The crib was being temporarily used
as work shop by laborers during the
construction of an intake tunnel from
the shore to a point five miles out.
Twenty bodies had been taken from
the tunnel at one o'clock this after
noon 1t is believed twenty or more
remain.

PROHIBITION BILL
IS MET WITH VETO
GOV. PATTERSON DlsAPPRovEs
OF TENNESSEE MEASURE.
soLoNs MAY SUSTAIN HIM
Change Of Only Four Votes Is Needed
Reasons Given by the Execu.
tive for His
Action.

Nashville, Tenn, Jan. 20.-Gov. Pat
terson yesterday afternoon filed with
the clerk of the senate a message
yetoing the statewide prohibition bill
which last week was passed by both
houses of the legislature.
The governors action followed ad.
journment of the senate, after it had
passed on third reading the bill pro.
hibiting the manufacture in Tennessee
of Intoxicating liquors. Consequently
the veto was read to the senate this
morning 1t must be sustained or the
bill passed over the executives pro.
test. On original passage the vote
was 90 to, 10. Opponents of the bill
claim they can count on change of
three senators to their side, and that
the fourth member, on whose vote
the fate of the measure depends, is
wavering. Should there be change
Of four votes, the veto would be sus-
tanned, II to 16. ..
Would Ruin Vast Properties.
The bill is made effective July 1,
1909. That prohibiting the manufac-
ture Of liquors was amended so as to
become effective January l, 1910.
With the two laws on the statute
books, property worth many millions
would be made practically worthless;
vast revenues to the state and to GER
ain counties and cities would be cut
of, and anti-prohibitionists claim that
axes would necessarily become bur
iensome. Nashville, Memphis and
Chattanooga are the only cities that
would be affected by the bill prohibit
Ing the sale of liquor, as local option
avs are already in effect practically
throughout the state.
Grounds for the Veto.
In his veto message, Gov. Patterson
charges that such legislation is
against the Democratic platform and
he doctrine OF self-government; that
sets aside the recorded will of the
5eople; that experience has taught
hat no arbitrary prohibition law was
,ver obeyed, and its enactment brings
10 settlement of the question; that it
destroys property, reduces state rev
lnues, increases taxation; takes
money from the people to send 1t else.
where; foments discord; impairs the
lignity of the commonwealth; fosters
hypocrisy and invites evasion and de-
,eit in the people.

H0BGEHVILLE IS TOO SMALL
LINCOLN CELEBRATION MAY BE
HELD IN LOUISVILLE.
Suggestion Made Because Kentucky
= Village Could Not Care for
the Crowds Expected.

Louisville, KY, Jan. 20-There Is
some probability. that the centennial
anniversary. OF the birth of Abraham
Lincoln, which has. been planned for
the old Lincoln farm, near Hodgenville,
KY, will be held in Louisville, owing
to the practical impossibility OF
handling the crowds between Hodgen-
vile and the Lincoln farm, distance
of three miles. -. M
The celebration will be held on Feb
ruary IL, and it is. proposed 10 make 1t
notable by the laying Of the corner
stone of the proposed Lincoln memoir
ial hall However, suggestion has
been madeto Charles T.. Miner, conf
Dental secretary of Robert Collier,
chairman of the national executive
committee of the Lincoln Farm asso-
citation, that the celebration take place
in the armory in Louisville, which will
accommodate crowd of 1000 people.
Mr.. Miner who arrived in Louisville
Monday, has gone to Hodgenville to in
spect the prospects on his own &C
count, and is expected to return to-
day. He was informed of the general
inaccessibility of the farm. and also
advised that between 5000 and 10000
persons would be attracted to the cele-
bration by reason of the prominence
of those who will take part in the cere-
monies
It was suggested to Mr.. Miner that
a commission could be sent to the Lin
coin farm February IL, which could go
through the formal laying of the cor
ner-stone, while the ceremonies were
taking place in Louisville
Mr., Miner will probably communi-
cate this suggestion to the chairman
of the national executive committee
after his examination of the physical
conditions surrounding the farm.
