TWENTY-FIVE YEARS.
Mrs. Ida w. Barnett Gives
Figures at Negro Conference.

NEW YORK. June THAT 1924 men,
women n children have been lynched
in this country in the last quarter of
a century was the assertion of Mrs.
Ida Wells Barnett at the national negro
conference in this city today. Asking
why this was permitted by a Christian
nation. Mrs. Barnett quoted John Tenn
pie Graves as saying that the mob
stands as the most potential bulwark
between the women of the South and
such a carnival of crime as would pre-
cipitate the humiliation of the negro
race. "All know this is untrue Mrs.
Barnett said. THE lynching record
discloses the hypocrisy of the lyncher."
Describing the riots at Springfield.
I'LL, Mrs. Barnett said it was all be-
cause a white woman said that a negro
had criminally assaulted her.
Later. Mrs. Barnet said, the woman
published a ~retraction. but the lynched
victims were dead.

CONFER AS TO THE
COUNTY FINANCES
Chairman and Committee Meet With
Senator and Representatives
and County Judge.

This morning a conference was held
by the finance committee of the board
of supervisors, and Chairman G. H.
Richmond of the board, with Senator
F. A. Landee and Representatives, L.
Wheelan and Thomas Campbell, and
County Judge R. w. Olmsted, for the
purpose of discussing the present finan-
cial situation of The county. Super
visors Carlson, Oswald. O'Brien and
Doering represented the finance COM
mittee. 1t was the suggestion of the
finance committee that an effort be
made to secure legislation to permit
the county to vote on an additional
lax levy at a special election, instead
of only at a general election, as at
present. Mr. Wheelan informed the
supervisors that bill was passed in
the house last week to provide for
submitting such questions at any judi
cial election, and it is hoped this will
become a law in time to submit the
question at the June election. If not,
an effort will be made to secure law
to allow submitting such propositions
at special election for that purpose,
in case of emergency, which those
present at the conference feel exists
in Rock Island county now.
