REORGANIZATION OF
RED CROSS SOCIETY
New Plan is Now in Operation Which
viii Greatly Add to Efficiency
of the Work.

WASHINGTON, Dec. All branch
organizations Of the American Ma
tional Red Cross society were abolish
ed today, and in their stead bodies
to be known as chapters will be
organized. This, action was confirmed
at the session of the national organ
ization in Washington today
These chapters will be formed by
resolutions of subdivisions existing at
present, directed to the headquarters
at washington, and governing boards
in each state will have direct super
vision of the chapters. The addition
of the state governing boards and the
substitution Of the word chapter for
subdivision in the title Of the local
organizations are the chief points of
| change in the plan of the reorganiza-
tion. This, however, it is believed,
will add greatly to the efficiency Of
the central body as a working force.

CAIRO SHERIFF
rs REMOVED
Governor Deneen Refuses to Reinstate
Him on Account Of the Recent
Lynching.

SPRINGFIELD, Dec. 7.-Governor
Deneen has denied the petition OF
Frank e. Davis, for reinstatement as
sheriff. 1t was from Sheriff Davis that
the Cairo mob took William James
and, Henry Salzner and lynched them
on the night of November II. Review
ing the lynching, the governor submits
evidence that Davis did not do all in
his power to protect the prisoners,
and made no forcible resistance.
In conclusion, the governor de-
clares: Mob violence has no place
In Illinois. 1t is denounced in every
line of the constitution and every
statute. 1t breeds contempt for the
law. The law has charged the sher
iff, under penalty of the forfeiture oi
his Office to use the utmost human en-
deavor to protect the life of a prison
er. The law may be severe, but
severe or not, it must be enforced"
