(special from united Press.)

Special from United Press.) Washington. Oct. 22.-The United Textile Workers of America. in con- vention here to-day reelected, with one exception, every one of their of ficers for the ensuing year. Thomas Morgan of Paterson, N. J., was chosen to succeed James Pringle of Fall Riv- CT as second vice-president. The of fcers reelected follows:
 President. John Golden, Fall River; first vice-president, James Tansey. Fall River: secondary treasurer, Albert Hubbard, Fall River.
 The most important work of the con- vention to-day was the adoption of an amendment to the bylaws whereby the emergency committee including the president, vice-president and treas urer are given authority to call strikes, provided their vote is unani- nous in favor of such action. Here tofore strikes could be called only up- on authority of the general executive council and as President Golden ex- plained the organization was greatly hampered in securing immediate ad- justment of difficulties by the time lost in assembling the council.
 The executive committee was au thorized to transfer General Organizer Charles Miles from his work in Pater- son, to organizing work elsewhere. as soon as arrangements could be per- fected An organizer was also pro- vided for the Dover and Summers worth N. H., mills.

LYNCnING MOB
 DEFIES MILITIA
Special from United Press.)

Especial from United PreSs.)
 Greenvi1le, Tex. Oct. 22-With three companies of militia on \ guard this town is recovering from the excite ment that followed the lynching late last night of Frank and Louis Will Hams, negroes, for an alleged assault on Mrs. Will Lloyd. The mob which lynched the negroes took them out of the custody of the troops, who would not fire and whose unloaded muskets were useless. The prisoners were hard ly in the jail when the mob demanded them. The sheriff refused to give them up and while he was parleying with them Company M of the 4th Texas was ordered out. When the sol diers arrived the mob had broken down the door of the jail and was taking the negroes out to hang them.
 A fight followed between the soldiers and the mob but the mob had retained possession of the negroes and dragged them to the outskirts of the city. They were strung up to a telegraph pole and ridd1ed with bullets. While this was going on Governor Campbell was ap- pealed to by the sheriff who feared a general attack on the negro quarter and two additional companies of mili- tia were hurried to the scene. They found nothing to do however as the mob had dispersed and are being held at the jail to day to prevent further outbreaks.

The kettIedrum In Music.

In a lecture delivered at the Royal Society of Arts by Gabriel Cleather on the Musical Aspect of Drums" it was contended that the kettledrum was one of the few perfect instru- ments in the orchestra, owing to the exactness of it's scale. The kettledrum. he contended, was perfectly compe- tent to produce atmosphere as well as rhythm Even to tune the instrument three things were required-a perfect musical ear, a fine sense of touch and five years experience. After playing over a kett1edrum melody, written eighty years ago, from Meyerbeer's Robert 1e Diable,'' Mir. Cleather con tinued, 'sI venture to say that. outside the musical profession. not one person in hundred of those who listen to an orchestra in England today knows that tympani have notes and can give out a melody" No instrument, he added. had a greater range of power than the kettledrum, for none could be played more softly. and none had greater pen etrating power.-Dundee Advertiser.

GOLDSTEIN, ONCE CARBON, WOULD
 CHANGE AGAIN


 Jacob Go1dstein. of 1116 East Main street. popular young man of the East Side, holding a responsible posi- change of name. to-day. He wants to resume his true name. Carlow. He is 35 years of age and single, but he may want to marry and very much desires to be known by his proper name. He was born in Russia and has lived in Bridgeport 22 years. He was made citizen.
 E The reason for his ! assuming the name of Go1dstein is hard to compre- bend. His petition gives it s'as mat ter of convenience.,' This means that when he came to this country, being in that stage of life known as callow youth, he was advised by friends who were Americanized to take a simple name one easy of pronounciation," He selected Goldstein.
 The other members of his family stuck to their original name, Carlow, and he wants his back.

CHARGES RIVAL
 WITH GIVING HER
 POISONED CANDY
(special from United Press.) }

St. Louis, Oct. 22.-Whether they have a case of attempted assassination Or whether it is the simplex venge- ance of one woman who endeavored to bring public disgrace to another. is the problem that the police here are today trying to solve from the con- tradictory statements of two women connected with supposed poison candy plot.
 Mrs Annette Lilliard declares Mrs. Maude Ridley, a widow, gave her a box of candy after a quarrel over Lil- lard. The candy she said, tasted queerly and she sent it to the city chemist who found 1t poisoned. Mrs Ridley admits that she is fond of LiIlard but denies she tried to poison Mrs. Lillard. She says she gave Mrs. Lillard no candy. Mrs. Ridley says she went to the Lilard home Sunday and discoursed several subjects with the Lillards. She says it was decided that Lillard should get a divorce and marry her and Mrs. Lillard consented to the arrangement. Mrs. Lillard gave an opposite account of the meeting She said Mrs Ridley agreed to leave St. Louis and have nothing more to do with LilIard. ,
 She walked to the car she said, with Mrs. Ridley and then Mrs. Ridley handed her the candy.
