Says Papers Over There Are Copying
Yellow American Tales.

Toxic, Feb. 1O.-sensat; onal re-
ports of the anti-Japanese sentiment
in the Pacific States, published in
the papers here are having marked
influence on public feeling. All
foreigners doing business here are
likely to be adversely affected, as in
the minds of all but the educated
Japanese, who are relatively few
members, all foreigners are alike.
The sensational Hochi appeals to
the passions and prejudices of it's
readers, concluding with the pro-
verb, Even Buddhe loses patience

The more conservative Asahi urg-

The official situation remains un-
changed, assurances being given that

Houston, Miss, Feb. 9.-Roby
Baskin, murderer OF the Rev. ". T.
Hudson, was lynched by mob here
this afternoon a crowd of over 800
determined citizens took him from
the Jail and hanged him to a nearby
tree. Not shot was fired, and the
whole proceeding was conducted qui-
city.
Sheriff Dean, of Okolona, arrived
just as the negro breathed his last.
Leaders of the mob said the negro
had not been given a speedy trial as
promised, and that they could not
be blamed for taking justice into
their own hands.
The prisoner was seized without
resistance and accepted his fate as
matter of course, sullen and with
ou; word of entreaty or prayer.
He was hanged from an elm tree
| within two hundred yards of the
county Jail.
The representatives of the sheriff
here declared they considered their
action, in surrendering the negro, in
view of the refusal Of the court
to call special term, justified in the
! interest of law and order. Should
their action be criticised they declare
they will resign.
According to Baskin's confession
he first robbed and, in fear that he
would be arrested for the robbery
shot and killed the minister, throw.
ing his body into pond where il
was found by searchers.

The Value of Books.

A young girl once asked Mark
Twain if he liked books for New
Year gifts.
We'll, that depends" replied the
humonst. IF a book has leath-
er cover. is is really valuable as a
razor strop; if it is brief, concise
work. such as the French write, it
is useful to put under the short leg
of a wabbling table. An old fashion
ed book. with a clasp, can't be beat
as a missile to hurl at dog. and
a large book. like a geography, is
as good as a piece of tin to nail over
a broken pane of glass"

WHO CAN 1T BE?
five Young Women Mysteriously
Murdered by
UNKNOWN MURDERER
While Comparing With the White
chapel Murders Over in England
of Twenty Years Ago, the Murder

OIL twenty 1eaFS ago, tHe 4uurueI
of These Young Women Have No
Parallel in Cur Crime Annals.
Atlanta, Feb. 9.-The Journal
says while comparing with the infa-
NOUS Whitechapel murders Of twen-
ty years ago, the Dayton girl murders
have no parallel in American crime
annals.
Altogether, it appears, five young
women were mysteriously murder
ed and the police theory is that al!
were struck down by the same
fendish hand.
This may or may not be true. 1t
is a fact, however, that five young
women of about the same age and
social condition, have been myste-
riously murdered in the Ohio city
and there are various tangible cir
cumstances which seem to connect
the crimes.
The police call the supposed TT
derer lack the Stranger" from the
fact that all of the girls were ap-
parently killed by the clutch of a
monsters hand upon the throat.
The latest victim was pretty
| Elizabeth Fulbart, q little country
girl, who went to Dayton to obtain
employment. The day after her ar
rival she disappeared. 1t is believ-
ed that she was lured into a vacant
house, in the resident dasrict
strangled to death, otherwise abus'
ed and dropped into a cistern IL
the rear of the dwelling.
Two workmen happened to oper
the old cistern, week after the CIR
I disappeared, and discovered the
,dy, floating on the water. 1t wa:
fshed out Though the manhole
through which it had been dropped
and soon identified by the girl:
brother. The girl was fully dress
ed.
From the condition Of the remain:
the police were. unable to decide
how death had been inflicted, bu
that there were no wounds seemed
to strengthen the theory that she
had been strangled. The body hac
been wrapped in a piece of gum!
sack.
The police went out to solve the
mystery without any definite clue
or theory as to possible motive
The girl was known as of good char
acter.
On January %, 1909, Mary For
schner, Is, was assaulted and chok
ed to death by some unknown man
Her body was found in an old shed
The police were completely baf1et
by this crime.

ed and killed on the night of Au
gust 5, 1907. She was seized o.
an unknown man while walking il
park with her sister and a youn.
man friend. The sister ran of tt
get help. When the police arrived
the girl lay dead in thicket.
Layton Hines was arrested, and OF
circumstantial evidence was sentenc
ed to life imprisonment. The polic'
now frankly say that they doub
Hines guilt.

then strangled to death, by: hent
on the night of November 20, 1906
Her body was found forty hours lat
