M@ILLIONAIRES LYNCHED
CATTLEMEN SAID TO HAVE
HIRED MARsHAL'S SLAYER.
Mob Met Quietly, Marched to Jail
and Broke Open the Door When
Refused Admittance.

Durant, Okla.-Four men were taken
from the Jail at Ada by a mob at an ear
~ hour Monday morning and lynched.
But very little is known, or at least lit
tie is divulged, regarding the formation,
the place Of meeting, or the personnel Of
the mob, and almost equally as little re-
garding their operations, further than
that they accomplished their mission in
the quietest ann possible and then
dispersed without molesting or even
awakening any one not directly con-
cerned.
The men upon whom the mob vented
its rage were j. P. Miller, of near Ada;
Joe Allen, of New Mexico; Jesse West,
of the same locality, and b. B. Burrell,
of Fort Worth. The three latter were
wealthy cattlemen, reputed by some to
be worth 81, 900 each.
The lynching was the result of the as
sassination of Gus Bobbitt, a prominent
cattleman, who resided southwest of
Ada. The killing occurred several
months ago, and it is said to have been
caused by trouble of long standing. Bob
bitt was shot while en- route from Ada
to his home, his assassin passing him in
the road and firing both barrels of a shot
gun at him. Circumstantial evidence led
to the arrest of Miller. Later evidence
showed he was but the tool of others and
that Joe Allen and Jesse West were in
reality responsible for the crime. B. b.
Burrell is said to have been the agent
who negotiated with Miller for Allen and
West.

EMPIRE GIRDLEs OF sEQUINs
Are Much Favored for Both Light and
Dark Colored Satin Gowns
This Season.

The novelty that was brought out in
the winter on exclusive gowns has be-
come a little more universal this
spring. This is the use of four-inch
empire girdles made of %sequins.
They are used on light and dark
colored satin gowns. Their appear
ance on the extravagantly high-priced
French frocks proves that the slightly
high waist will remain in favor this
spring. These girdles are very at
tractive and can be made at home by
the girl who has color sense. They
should only be combined with soft
fabrics for house year.
The sequins are iridescent and the
colors may be chosen according to the
fabric. Those of peacock green's and
blues are often used on gowns of
white, yellow and blue satin. Those
of crystals and pearls are put on
gowns of peacock-green and black
satin. But this rule is not to be fol-
lowed.

OF course, the baby will put on airs
if he has a cabinet all his W Tor
his wee garments. but no n would
blame him, for even a grown-up would
be a trife set up over SO dainty a how-
erstrewn wardrobe.
The necessity for a special place to
keep the tiny things goes without say
ing. A cabinet like the one in the
sketch would prove a great comfort and
convenience. A very similar n may
be purchased all ready made. with
panels of apple blossoms and gay
birds, and a lining of pink MORE silk.
The woodwork is of a beautiful satiny
white finish, and $38 is the rather ex-
trayagant sum asked for ii.
OF course, this is beyond the aver
age woman's income, but that does
not mean that her wee one must go
wardrobeless, for we are going to tell
her Just how to make a cabinet at
home for a mere song.
At some small dry goods shop buy
two square packing cases, exactly of
a size, and have the covers that go
with them. These cases are rs or 30
cents apiece.
Set the cases n on top of the 9TH
err, as they are shown in the sketch.
Two fiat boards may be put in the low
er box for shelves. The covers of the
boxes are to be used for the doors.
Here the mar of the family may be
called upon tt saw the covers in half,
and saw off a bit from the sides and
ends so that the piece will fit inside
the frame of the box, just as a real
door in a room fits in the frame.
Next paint the boxes. Fill up the
nail holes with a plug of clay. Put a
coat of woodfller on the cabinet and

doors, both sides, inside and out, to
lay the %splinters.
When that is dry, go over the whole
thing with a couple of coats of a good
white enamel paint.
Panels of some pretty pink Powered
c~retonne may be tackled on the outside
of the four doors and sides Of the cab
met, and on the back If desired-it's
a relief once in a while to have the
backs of things presentable.
The panels are held on with little
brass-headed upholstery lacks. Very
pretty cretonnes may be had for IS,
| rs and 80 cents a yard, and even the
12k-cent variety is not to be sneezed
at. The insides of doors and cabinet
have panels put OF in the same way,
of a delicate plain pink sateen.
The doors are put on with small
brass hinges, and fasten with an old
fashioned wooden button or tiny brass
bolt. A sash curtain rod Is screwed
across the top of the cabinet on which
to hang the little coat and frocks. The
tiniest coat hangers imaginable, just
right size for the wee garments, come
for ten cents apiece. These may be
covered with bits of pretty silk or rib
bon.
The stand for the bonnet may be
covered with a dainty bit of light
| springleaf green silk. The pretty, lacy
basket may be kept On the upper shelf,
| and large boxes on the other shelves
in which to keep the baby's clothing.
These boxes may be of fancy paste
board, or a oma who is clever with
her brushes might buy plain white
boxes of an unglazed surface and dec
crate them with sprays of flowers. A
loop of ribbon is fastened to the cover
SO that the boxes will pull out easily.

A Novelty in Ribbon.

One of the very newest things Is
pongee ribbon in various widths with
quaint oriental designs in colors. 1t is
as soft and pliable as the fabric itself.
1t may be put to a number of uses and
gives a touch of color to a costume.
1t is seen on Panama hats, made
into a soft bow with fringed ends; on
blouses, where it Is inset in panel eff
feet, and is made into collars and
cuffs on pongee blouses in natural col
or and red, blue and green. Here and
there on some Of the designs is q
gold, silver or bronze thread.

CALLS ON TAFT
Booker Washington Was Caller at
Same Time.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Tillman OF
South Carolina paid his first visit to the
White House Tuesday in about seven
years, and received a cordial greeting
from President Taft. In his long official
capacity the senator never before had
called upon a president and his appear
ance in the executive Offices created a
sensation.
The senator walked to the White
House unaccompanied, but left with Sen
ator Beveridge of Indiana, riding to the
capitol with the latter in his automobile.
Booker T. Washington was waiting to
see the president when Senator Tillman
arrived. The South Carolinian was i'm
mediately shown into MI. Taft's private
office. The call was purely of a social
nature, it was declared.

SECOND RIOT
TRIAL TODAY
The Selection of a Jury Is
Expected to Take Several
Days.

The trial of Mori. the Japanese from
Maui who stabbed Editor Sheba, VIII
rot begin this morning, as was sehed-
uled. but the second trial OF the ac-
eused rioters will commence instead.
Attorney Lightfoot appeared in court
yesterday and objected to the Aorl
trial being advanced on the calendar,
and Judge De Bolt sustained his objec-
tions and moved it back to its normal
place. Then it was announced that
the second riot trial would be taken up.
The selection of jury in the riot
case is liable to occupy several days
and exhaust the jury list. Much dit
| fculty was experienced in getting
Jury for the first riot trial, and because
of the previous strike trials, there are
probably few well informed or intel
ligent men who have not gained some
opinion in regard to the guilt or in
nocence of the defendants. The evidence
in the case is expected to be practical
| ly repetition of that given in the
first trial, which resulted in disagree
ment.
| There is a possibility that Mort will
not be tried, as he may enter plea
of guilty and throw himself on the
mercy of the court. This, however, is
by no means certain yet, and the at
| torney for the defense may decide to
J fight the case.

kALUbNUI ROAD
CONTRACT LET
Supervisors Duly Award the
Big lob to the Lowest
Bidders.

Picanco & Wood. viii construct Ka-
luanui Beach road. At yesterday morn
ing's meeting of the Board of Super
visors, the committee on roads and
bridges reported that the firms bid
was the lowest of any submitted and
recommended that the award be made
accordingly. Pieaneo & Woods bid was
$11,5s5.
In accordance with the decision Of
the Board of Supervisors, the County
Clerk was instructed to notify Picaneo
Wood that their bid had been ae-
cepted, and that the Mayor stood ready
to sign up the contract as soon as a
suitable bond should be furnished.
The other bids for constructing Ka-
luanui Beach road were, A. A. Wilson,
$4,000; Henry III. K. de Fries and Al
bert Trask, $4,000; and the Concrete
Constructing Company, Ltd, s12,4
The proposed new Kaluanui Beach
road is about 5000 feet in length. The
specifications call for a pile trestle
bridge 100 feet in length, three box
cuIverts ten by four and half, and
some 500 feet of riprap. All of this
work will prove costly and the COM
mittee is very well satisfied with the
tenders received.
The right-of-way negotiations have
been completed and all that remain is
for the Mayor to affix his signature to
| the resolution of the Board of Super
visors making the necessary appropria-
| ton to reimburse the Chinese tenants
/ for the moving of their kuleanas.
