MISSOURI MOB LYNCHES
TWO NEGRO MURDERERS
Break in Jail Doors and Both
Confess Before They Are
Put to Death

CHARLESTON, Mo-, July 1.-TWO
negroes were lynched here today for
the murder of William Fox, a planter
of Mississippi county. They were
taken from the county Jail by large
crowd of citizens who broke down the
doors with .sledge hammers. The ne
groes were alleged to have shot Fox
in the back while riding in his wagon
about two miles from town last night.
He died after Identifying his assail-
ants.
Farmers began fiocking into Charles
ton this morning. Sheriff Culp ap-
pealed to Governor Hadley by tele-
phone for assistance and swore in a
number of deputies. The sheriffs, how
ever, were powerless to check the mob.
1t required two hours to break into the
Jail.
One negro was hanged in the jail
yard after he had confessed. The 9TH
er was hurried into an automobile and
was taken to the spot where he had
hidden the revolver with which Fox
had been shot and was then taken back
to Charleston. In the presence of near
ly 5000 people he was hanged from a
crossing sign.
The mob was bent upon burning the
negro section of Charleston, but cooler
counsel prevailed and quiet was re-
stored late tonight.
A coroners jury returned verdict
to the effect that the negroes came to
their death at the hands of parties
unknown"

IRREGULARITIES FOUND
IN INSURANCE COMPANY
First Examination of Phoenix in
Twenty Years Shows Only
$42I, 200 Surplus

ALBANY, N. Y, July S.-Irregular-
tiles in connection with the manage
ment of the Phoenix Insurance COM
pany of Brooklyn are again set forth
in a report made to State Superinten-
dent of Insurance Hotchkiss by fnsur-
ance examiners. The examination just
completed covers the transactions of
the company since last examination,
which was June 80, 1887 The present
examination was made September 80,
1909, and what the examiners found at
that time was a surplus above capital
of $421 200 instead of $1,546,64S, as
claimed by the company.
The difficulties of the company seem
to be mainly traceable, according TO
the report, to the purchase by the late
President Sheldon of large blocks of
securities for Council Bluffs Water
Works company and to an apparent
general want of supervision by the
state insurance department during a
period of twenty years. Among the
new matters brought out by the re-
port are:
A deception to the extent of about
one million dollars practiced on the
department by the company in stating
its losses at San Francisco.
The purchase of the company's stock
with its own funds, and a number OF
questionable transactions at the Chi
cago agency, particularly in connection
with the sub-agency at San Francisco,
which resulted in the ultimate falsifi-
cation of the books and seemingly a
considerable loss to the company.

CABINET OFFICERS KEEP
IN TOUCH WITH AFFAIRS
Secretary Knox at Valley Forge
Home Watches Chinese Sit
uation Closely

WASHINGTON. July 3.-Although
the president and most of his cabinet
are absent from the capital few of the
cabinet officers are out of close touch
with the assistant secretaries.
This is particularly true of. Secre-
tary Knox, who from his home in Val
ley Forge, is keeping close watch on
the happenings in Washington as re-
ported to him by Acting Secretary
Huntington Wilson.
Several matters of negotiation are
in what might be regarded as critical
stage. For instance, there is the Han
kow railroad loan.
Americans joined with Germany,
France and Great Britain in what the
foreign offices are pleased politely to
term a request" on the Chinese gov
ernment for issue of a decree accepting
a loan of thirty million dollars from
financiers of the four nations, to be
used in the construction of the Hankow
railway.
These officers, having in mind the
bitter experience of China following
right to build the South Manchurian
railroad, are fearful that the building
of the Hankow road will mean the ulti-
mate domination of their country by
foreigners.
Within the same period it is possible
that some agreement can be reached
between the state department and the
government of Turkey regarding the
projected railroad through Asia Minor.
A group of enterprising American
financiers has obtained a concession
from the Turkish government to ex-
plore that ancient country

SAN FRANCISCO WILL PAY
100000 TO SEE FIGHT
Seventeen Special Trains Carry
ing 1000 Fans Leave Bay
City for Reno

SAN FRANCISCO, July a. San
Francisco will pay s1,00O,OO0 to see the
Jeffres-J johnson fight at Reno. This is
the estimate made here by railroad Of
ficials who have been handling the spe-
cial trains bound for the fight.
Since midnight last night and 3
o'clock today seventeen special trains
carrying 1000 fight fans have left this
city for Reno. During the preceding
week an equal number of San Fran
ciscans had made the Nevada metrop-
oils their Mecca, bringing the total at
tendance at the arena from this city
at SO00
1t is figured that each of these fight
devotees will spend at least 1925, all
told, hence the deduction of the rail-
road managers that it will cost $1,000000
to see the battle of the century"
Many of the fight trains have been
hired outright from the railroads, and
in addition to the regular crews they
are carrying special chefs and other
personal attendants. 1t is said that
some of the men who have organized
special excursions will return from the
battle with a profit on the right side of
the ledger, thanks to their foresight in
buying their transportation wholesale.
In spite of the exodus to Reno, bet
ting continued lively here today at odds
of 10 to 6, with Jeffries on the long end.
The money of the small bettors is pour
ing into the pool rooms.

STILL HOLDS FORT
NEPHEW DESERTED
w. E. Mcclure Says He Will Win
or Be Carried Out of His
Office Feet First

w. z. Mcclure, vice president of the
Broadway, who caused considerable eX-
citement Saturday when he threatened
to end his life because of a misunder-
standing with his nephew, N. o. Har-
mon, president of the corporation, and
who refused to leave the offices unless
Harmon granted certain demands, re-
mained in possession all day yester-
day and last night. He declares he will
not give up his place until he is car
ried out feet first.
Harmon has treated me unfairly"
said Mcclure last night, land / in
tend to stay in possession of this Of
flee until he grants my demands. l am
a director of this corporation and he
has no right to remove me from my
position as demonstrator and salesman.
"The whole trouble is that my
nephew is allowing his domestic af-
fairs to interfere with business. Mrs.
Harmon has been annoying me for the
past six months. I endured 1t as long
as 1 could and then, when l took the
matter up with Harmon, the latter un-
dertook to terminate my connection
with the company.
Il have worked energetically and
conscientiously in the interest of the
corporation, and now that have built
up a good business l do not propose
to be kicked out.
Mrs Harmon has annoyed me to
such an extent that I took to drinking.
not to excess, however. For the past
three weeks have not touched liquor"
Interview with A. J. BaineS of BaineS'
cafe.
Il am perfectly sane and mean busi-
ness. He must meet my demands to-
morrow. I intend to remain in this
office until I am carried out feet first.
The police haven't the only gum"
Mcclure was made vice president of
the concern about three months ago
at Harmon's request, he says. He was
paid a salary to demonstrate a wave
motor that the company is exploiting.
He also was engaged in selling stock
in the project.
A dispute followed and Mcclure went
to the rear of the building and threat
ened to end his life with a revolver
which he carried unless Harmon agreed
to reinstate him in his old position.
Harmon refused and notified the police.
Several officers made an effort to ap-
proach Mcclure, but he waved them
back and threatened to shoot himself
if they approached within ten feet of
where he was seated. Later Saturday
night Mcclure surrendered his revolver
to Detective James Radcliffe, an old
friend, and after a meal at a nearby
restaurant returned to his post, where
he since has remained.

TALK c. D. ?. ILLS
Both Decline to Discuss Result of
Preliminary Survey of the
Field
MORE EXPERTS TO CONFER
Most important Consultation to
Be Between Former PreSi-
dent and Gov. Hughes
MORE EXPERTS TO CONFER
Associated Press1

OYSTER BAY, July 3.-Colonel
Roosevelt's preliminary survey of the
field of battle has been completed.
Like a good general, he has nothing
TO say of his plans.
Lloyd c. Griscom, president of the
New York Republican county commit
tee, did not stay over night at Saga
more Hill, as had been expected. Be
fore he left he gave Colonel Roosevelt
a first hand account of just how the
colonel was beaten last week at Al
bany in the fight for the direct pri-
mary in the legislature.
The results of the conference have
not been disclosed. Mr. Griscom said
before he went up to Sycamore Hill
that he would not utter a word of
what Colonel Roosevelt and he had to
say, and the colonel was equally reti-
cent. He let it be known, however,
that the real effect of the conference
was to diagnose what he considers the
Ills of Republicanism in the state.
The prescription has not been writ
ten, and in all probability will not be
until several other specialists have
been summoned in consultation. The
most important of these consultations
will be between the colonel and Cover
nor Hughes, when the selection of
Republican candidate for governor will
receive careful consideration.

STOCKS CLOSE LOWEST
IN THE, LAST TWO YEARS
Actual Conditions Which Caused
CONFUSION Not Yet Fully
Understood

NEW YORK, July 3.--Last year the
speculation in stocks carried prices to
the highest level touched for genera
tion. The campaign was based on the
confidence that the present year was
to see unparalleled activity in this
country. 1t is a coincidence that the
last day of the half year saw the low
est prices for stocks at the New York
stock exchange since early in 1908,
when the revival from the depression
of 1907 was first starting in.
The responsibility for the disap-
pointments of the present year may be
traced to the eXcesses of last year IN
more than one direction.
The more sober sense of the financial
community deprecated the too rapid
initiation of security prices. The re-
cuperation was too rapid to prove
sound and lasting.
The actual conditions of general BUS
mess which prompted the convulsive
liquidation of stocks and influenced the
banks to demand it remain to be
learned fully.

Anti-Picketing Ordinance Will Be

Measure
IRE OF STRIKERS is AROUSED

Court Ruling
RE OF STRIKERS is AROUSED

Fred Spring, attorney for the metal
trades unions and for the Labor Tenn
pie association, declared last night that
if the city council passes the anti
picketing ordinance prepared by City
Attorney Hewitt, which comes up for
consideration tomorrow, the unions OF
Los Angeles will Immediately resort to
the referendum and within four or five
days have enough signatures to petit
ton to bring the question before the
electors.
The unions look upon the ordinance
as one framed for a special occasion
and in the interest of firms and cor
porations Such an ordinance, they de-
clare. is unfair, and if submitted to the
public would be overwhelmingly de-
feated
If the council passes the ordinance
and if the unions succeed in calling for
a referendum a special election may pe
necessitated.
Judge Beatty chief justnce of the
supreme court of California, made a de-
cision last July in the case of Parkin-
son against the Santa Clara Trades
council that laborers have right to
strike and a right to notify their
friends and sympathizers and the pub
lie in general, either orally or in writ
ing, of the conditions existing between

Spring last evening.
''There are laws against disturbing
the peace and against interference with
traffic in Streets" he continued. What
else could be included in any fair ordi-
nance along this line? The ordinance
is on it's face the working of employers
affected by the strike of the brewers
and metal trades workers"
WOULD PREVENT PICKETING
The ordinance would prevent men
walking in front of any establishment
and stating that goods sold therein
were not made by union men. 1t is
broad in its scope and would do away
with picketing of any nature. 1t pro-
vides for a fine of $50 or nifty DAYS IN
Jail or both for violation.
That this week is expected to be a
critical one in the strike situation was
the statement of Stuart Reid yester-
day, He believes that agreements will
be signed with a number of employers
before Friday or Saturday I'VE are
now preparing to use every peacetul
weapon at our command" said Mr.
Reid, land II something is not over
turned in our favor this week 1t VIII De

Andrew Gallagher. secretary of the
San Francisco Trades council, and Jack
Kelly, supervisor of the Machinists
union and president Of the San Fran
cisco Trades council, will arrive in Los
Angeles Thursday and address a meet
ing in the auditorium of the Union
Labor Temple Thursday night.
Wednesday is pay day for the strik-
ers. The men who were union men
when they came out will be paid $4,000,
says Reid. The regular union benefits
will be paid the men who have been in
the union long enough to be eligible to
receive them.
