GRAND JURY
 WILL PROBE Mobile Lynching to Be
 Investigated. SPECIAL CHARGE DELIVERED Judge Semmes Says Welfare of
 Mobile Demands It. An Law violations, Including the Pre- hibition Law, Was Touched Upen-~Jury Settles Down
 Ts wsrk.

Mobile, Feb. i--(SpeciaI. l--When the grand jury for the February term of the City Court was sworn in today they listened to a charge from Judge O. J. Semmes specifically touching up- on the lynching of the negro Roberson by a masked mob.
 The following are the grand jurors:
 Robert W. Southerland, foreman; Ar thur Mclean. Joseph J. Herzog, Andrew Cassen, Horace F. Cross, Lee Walsh, Christopher H. Costello, John Unruh. John B. Harvey. Richard A. Finch, Dan iel s. Drago. Adolph l.. Mangold, Jesse B. Leftwich. Hubert Donovan. Domi- nick Kuntz. Frederick scheyble, Thomas J. Riley. Douglas McMillan, John B. Marshall and John Tobin.
 After delivering a lengthy charge touching upon all law violations. tn- cluding the prohibition law, Judge Semmes spoke of the lynching as foi- lows:
 Tt is the painful duty of the court to charge specially and specifically as 10 the recent violation of the jail, taking therafrom a prisoner by masked per" sons who committed murder by hang ing him without warrant of law. Pain full not because the court has any sym- pathy for the murderer. who was hanged. but painful because there can be found among the citizens of Mobile men SO lost to the laws of God and the State that they have taken vengeance into their own hands to the extent o' committing the murder.
 'When Roberson was taken from the iail of Mobile County and hanged, 2 murder was committed, and the grand jury should make a thorough and OK haustive examination to ascertain who the perpetrators were and to indlet them. The good name. the welfare or Mobile, demands this.
 "Section 1888 of the Code provides,
 "'Any sherir, deputy. or jailer wno ueKliRently or through cowardice, ai- lows q prisoner to be taken from the iail of his county or taken from his GUS tody and put to death by violence, must on conviction, be fined not less than $500. nor more than S2.00o, and may also be sentenced to hard labor Tor the county for not more than two years
 You should carefully, exhaustiVeiy examine into the conduct of those in charge of the Jail on the night of the hanging of Roberson, so that the onh- cerg may be relieved of any criticism or opprobTium if they did their IuIl duty. and if guilty under Section 1888, they sh ould be indicted and convieted' that future intending violators or tnis law may know that the people Of Mo. bile will not tolerate mob violence
 The jury immediately settled down to work and win be in session foT two weekR -. -z.

PEOPLE SACRIFICE CHRIST
OR OWN WILL ON CROSS DAILY
Bishop Williams Gives Last Of Lenten
Addresses Before Big
Audience

"Th" Cross was the subject dis
eussed by the Rt. Rev. CHARLES ID. VIII
liamG in the closing monday Lenten
service in the Detroit opera house, Fri
day. before the largest audience of the
five weeks during which these meet
ings have been held.
The bishop said that the cross domi-
mates Christian theology. and inquired
what was the meaning of IT, The
cross" he said. often appeals to us
only in an objective way, but that
part has been overdone in cur popular
theology and in our popular preaching.
IL has been a substitute for Christian
life IL stead of an inspiration thereto.
That sort of preaching has made re-
ligion eliminate. has made IL sentl-
mental, has substituted the passive ac-
Ceptance of the cross for salvation, TO-
the heroic call to duty, to life and 20
love. We cling 10 the cross of Jesus.
instead of snouldering our own cross. y
Bishop Williams declared that the
popular conception OF the cross, OBJ
tanned often from the picture of the
Rock of Ages" in which a female
figure in white garments. clinging to
cross rising cut OF a storm-tossed sea,
was not the true conception; that eacn
person was obliged TO bear his own
cross.
Jesus first laid His cross on His
followers before He hung on IL Him
SELF" he continued.
THE cross. what is It? Shall we
say it is the thing we cannot escape,
the thing that is inevitable. the thing
that Gods providence puts on us? No,
that is never your cross. Your cross
is the thing you might escape If you
would. 1t is the thing you have vol
unfairly taken up. the burden you
have put on your own shoulders. II rs
Put there by no providence of God.
You take 1t up yourself in order that
you may follow Christ. In order that
YOU may be true TO His ideals.
Suppose the business man tried 10
live strictly by the rule of Jesus Do
YOU think there would be no diminu-
ton of profits? My brother employee,
suppose you tried 10 follow the golden
rule. do you suppose there would be
no sacrifices TO make? And In taking
high rents for poor tenements, sa-
looms and perhaps brothels. do you
suppose there would be no sacrifice 10
make IL YOU followed strictly the
golden rule? Then. take the woman
i'm society with It's shams and us
hypocrisy, do you suppose there would
no no difficulties for her If she tried
10 live n sincere life? II you would
follow Jesus, you must take up the
cross
There are two lives in every one
OF us. One Is continually clamoring.
4 want and the other Is whispering,
L ought There is your cross and on
that cross every day you are either
sacrificing Christ that you may live Tor
the world, the flesh and the devil, or
YOU are sacrificing your will that you
may live according to the VIII or
God

CONFER ON r. r. FARES.
Missouri Railway Officials to Discuss
TWo-Cent Plan.

ST. LOUIS. Mo. April "A hurry
call for the passenger officials OF the
Missouri railroads is expected to be
issued in a day or two to consider
the latest effort OF the state to force
the roads TO continue the two-cent
passenger rate.
Since the decision OF the federal
court upsetting the Missouri rate law
the railroads have announced their In
tention OF going back to three cents
per mile. The state officials have en-
deavored TO induce them to reconsid-
er their action. The railroads refuse
to compromise.
They planned to put the three-cent
rate in force on short hauls and a two.
cent rate on long hauls. The state,
taking advantage OF the alleged dis
crimination secured an injunction IN
the state courts prohibiting the three.
cent schedule on the ground that the
railroads violated the antitrust laws
0y combining TO discriminate against
certain classes of passengers.
