ACCEPT
The new
BUILDING

Governor Benson, accompanied by
State Superintendent Ackerman, yes
terday afternoon made a visit to the
new mute and deaf school buildings,
which have just been completed, and
after a thorough inspection, accepted
them from the contractors.
The new school is located on a ST.
acre tract lying north Of the city,
and consists of two main buildings,
power and heating plant, and also
frame building, which was former
ly used by the Polytechnic school
The new buildings were found to be
excellent, both from the point OF
workmanship and material, and both
of the officers expressed themselves
as much gratifed with the buildings
as O whole.
The school is now occupying the
buildings situated south of the city,
and probably will not vacate them
until the school term Is at an end in
May, as the premises OF che new
buildings must yet be cleaned, and
the buildings themselves furnished
with necessary school equipment
The old buildings were situated In
an Isolated part Of the city, which
prevented the children from ming
ling with the people on the streets.
and thereby caused their education,
which depends so much on sight, TO
be neglected, and Il was to overcome
this that the new ones were erected.
The new buildings are situated near
enough so that the children may have

Washington, March 1s.-Streaks
of dawn filtering through the win
dows of the capitol this morning
lighted up the weary eyes of stub
bornly fighting representatives, who
for 1S hours had been locked in a
struggle caused by an attempt to
break the organization of the house
of representatives, and enact new
rules. At $3.50 o'clock this morning
a number of Republican regulars left
the house chamber and it was
thought that the debate had been
checked because less than a quorum
was on hand.
Then the nght took a new turn.
An effort was made to get every rep
resentative into the'house. Warrants
were issued for the 200 members alb
sent from the session, and Sergeant
alarms Oasson was instructed to
serve them. AS the hours passed
Democrats began to complain of the
lack of responses obtained by Casson
who was supposed to be drumming up
members. Casson was called in, and
explained that he was doing the best
he could.
At O'Clock this morning Hol-
lingsworth (R., Ohio,) appeared an
CRY through and through, because he
was under arrest.
He demanded the name of the man
who had made the motion for his ar
rest so that he could start civil ac-
tion for damages. James, the giant

Were Taken From Jail Last
Night and Marched Through

Mob Gathered Again This Morning
Offense Stated is That They
Broke Jail"-other Negroes Fled
From the Town, Fearing a. Race
War-Bodies Left Hanging in the
Trees.

Memphis, Tenn, March 1S.-
Charlie Richardson and Bob Austin,
negroes, were taken from the Jail at
Marion today, by mob of so men,
and lynched.
Shortly before the ropes we're
placed about their necks, the blacks
confessed that they aided in a jail
delivery here recently. Among the
prisoners who escaped was A. H.
Ferguson, a wealthy citizen of Mar
ion who was awaiting trial on the
charge of murder. Ferguson has
not been recaptured.
At the time both negroes were in
carcerated for minor offenses. They
were recaptured later and brought
back to Marion.
Last night a mob took the keys
of the jail from Deputy Sheriff Tom
Williford and dragged Richardson
and Austin from the Jail.
Placing ropes around the prison
ers' necks, the mob marched through
the streets of the town for two
hours. No attempt was made to kill
the negroes at the time.
The men were then returned to
the Jail while the mob surrounded
thel building. Guards remained all
night and today the mob reformed
and lynched the negroes.
During the night scores of negro
residents fled from the town as they
feared a race war.
The bodies of the two men were
left swinging to a tree for some
time as a warning.

TURKISH Land OWNERS
MUIR DERED BY GREEKS

The fireman was hopels ssiy out
classed from the moment the men
squared for the first round. Lang
ford was every bit the demon Of his
reputation and Flynn had nothing
but his gameness to excuse his ap-
pearing in the same ring with the
cave man, without an axe in one
hand and a revolver in the other.
After the battle Flynn's injuries
were the subject of much comment
by the ringsiders. 1t was apparent
to those in bloody row" at the pa
vilion that the Pueblo's mans jaw
was broken or dislocated by Lang
ford's terrific knockout blow At
Vernon today Flynn vehemently de-
MED that his inaxillary was cracked,
but talking was difficult for him,
and he refused to permit anyone TO
examine the battered member.
His attendants refused to admit
that the jaw was broken, but they
also refused to deny 1t.
Langford knew the moment the
final blow was struck that the fight
was over. he walked unconcernedly
to the press row to talk with
friend while Referee Eyeton counted
out the beaten white man. Then
with his gorilla-like arms dangling
almost to his knees, he crossed the
ring to shake hands with his fallen
foe.

During the hours that the session

in the cloak rooms and the effort to

Gratis whom the speakers friends
could rely on was doubled.
Although Cannon could not give
Sinnot warrants for the absent mem

Constantinople, March 18.--De-
spite the strict censorship OF dis
patches from Athens, reports of furth
er disorders between the peasants and
the soldiery reached here today.
1t was learned that several rich
Turkish Mohammedan land owners
had been killed, and their homes
sacked by the enraged Greeks, de-
spite the presence Of strong forces Of
troops.
The disorders are the result of the
governments refusal to grant the de-
mands of the Christian Greek peas
ants to dispossess the big land own-
ers, who are mostly Turks, and di-
vide their land among the peasants.
There Is little likelihood that the
government will aecede to these de-
mands, owing to the Turko-Greek
treaty, which guarantees the land
owners their present rights.
Turkey has protested to Greece,
and has limited that unless the fullest
protection is given to her Turkish
and Mohammedan subjects, the rul-
ers will consider 1t sufficient provoca-
ton to invade Thessaly, the storm
center.
The situation Is considered critical
as 1t is known that Turkey Is anxious
for some excuse to occupy the north
ern province.

"One thing is certain-they won

be able to make him rule on that
point of order before he is ready"
Representative Norris, when asked
for his views, said:
This thing will probably last un-
til the patience of every member of
the house is exhausted Then you
may look for anarchy.
1T will not come for some time,
though, l should say Everybody

An effort made by the insurgents
a year ago to overthrow the present
rules committee plan was defeated by
a sudden combination of Republican
regulars and Democrats.

would be made to capture the rules

Washington, d. c., March 49,
After "a hours of debate, recrimin-
alton and parliamentary delays the
house today voted by a vote of 161
to 151 to take a recess until
o'clock this afternoon. The motion
was made by Martin (Repubican)
of South Dakota and was for the
purpose of giving the regulars time
in which to frame a compromise
upon the Norris resolution.
Speaker Cannon voted I'm favor OF
the motion. Several insurgents al
so supported the motion for a re-
cess and this is taken to indicate
that they favored some sort of q
compromise, rather than an open
split with the supporters Of Cannon.
Before the motion was submitted
committee of regulars, insurgents
and Democrats were in conference
striving to reach a compromise.
Meanwhile both sides used every eff
fort to get their adherents in. their
seats.
The galleries were jammed with
hundreds of distinguished persons in
Washington life. Prominent among
the spectators we're Mrs. Taft and
