MOB SEEKS NEGROES LIVES.
Sheriff, However, Balks Angry Crowd
of Prey.

Huntington, ". Va, August 2S.-
A mob of 500 men, including about
200 from Hinton, w. Va, assembled
at the Jail here shortly after dark,
clamoring for the lives of Thomas
Wayne, the negro charged with mur-
dering Mrs. John Ailiss at Quinni-
mont, and Charles Clayburn, another
negro, who killed Harry Withrow, a
railroad foreman, here yesterday.
Both men were placed in Jail for
safe-keeping. While the sheriff was
pleading with the mob, his deputies
spirited the prisoners away.

Fire Loss Growing.

Not since January, 1908, has there
been month in which the fire losses
in the United States and Canada have
reached a higher point than that at
which they are placed by the New
York Journal of Commerce for the
month of July last past. In that
month they aggregated $26,S47,
600; in that month Immediately pre-
ceding s13,1S3,O00; in July, 1909,
s15,S3O,9OO and in January 1908,
s2s,5S2,OOO.
One reason why the July loss OF
1910 was s11, 100000 in excess OF
the loss for the corresponding month
of each of the two years Immediately
preceding was the confagration at
Campbellton, New Brunswick, where
property valued at s3,50O,O00 was de-
stroyed. Another was the prevalence
of forest fires in Canada and the
Northwestern part of the United
States, which are put down for de-
structiveness during July amounting
to s6,OOO,OOO more.
During the first half Of the present
year the fire loss, month by month,
has kept below the amount from the
1st of January to the corresponding
period last year. Now this is chang
ed. Nineteen and ten is changed.

COMPULSORY MARRIAGE.
High Cost of Living Makes Matri.
mOny a Luxury.

DR.. Anne Shaw favors compulsory
marriage of all normal, healthy cou-
pies. If Mrs. Shaw will induce the
able-bodied men of this country to
amend our tariff law so as to insure
lower cost of those family necessities,
she will have rendered greater SER
vice to our people and at the same
time solve the phase Of the matrimo-
NAL problem which concerns her
most. While anything that Mrs.
Shaw might say on this or any other
matter that affects the welfare and
happiness of humanity it not Of spe-
cial moment, she nevertheless raises
a question which has for a long time
held the attention of those who think
of, and grieve over, our economic
and social conditions.
It is certain that compulsory mar
riage system is one of the impossi-
bles, and that another Of Mrs. Shaw's
hobbies is without merit to commend
it to the consideration Of intelligent
people. The truth is, the inclination
Is ample on the part of the younger
set, but business discretion cries halt
in too many instances. The mar
riageable young man worth while 1s
unwilling to double his presence, as
It we're, on an income which is only
sufficient to support about one and
half persons instead of two. His In
come may be reasonable, but the nec-
essary outgo is abnormal, outrageous
and to venture in here would incur
deprivations of himself and family,
risk which his pride resents. Hence
he waits until he can survive our
system of highway robbery, and by
that time it is frequently too late to
think about marriage.
The solution Of this problem lies
not with State legislatures, but ls
largely within the province OF the
United States congress, which was
pledged last year to give it's subjects
relief, but didn't.-Montgomery Ad-

COLLECTORS TO BE REMOVED.
Indications that Taft is Allowing
Roosevelt Appointees to "Resign."

Washington, August 26.-Are the
men appointed collectors of internal
revenue by former President Roose-
welt to be gradually but effectively
removed from the service?
Commissioner Cabell, of the inter-
nal revenue bureau, left Washington
something like a year ago on a
mysterious mission, and to those who
asked the purpose of his trip through
the West he replied that it was in
the interest of his bureau, and solely
for official business" This state
ment, coupled with information re-
ceived from an authoritative source
to-day, makes it almost certain that
the Roosevelt appointees to the inter-
nal revenue service are to be allowed
to resign" In fact, several have
already severed their connection with
the government.
It was stated here to-day that
slowly but surely, every collector ap-
pointed by Mr.. Roosevelt would be
invited to send in their designations
during the next year. There does
not appear to be any desire to call
for these designations hurriedly, as
that would impair the revenue SER
vice, and at the same time cause
comment and suspicion and bring
strong congressional influence to
bear in behalf of those who are to
be asked to resign. On the other
hand, the plan appears to be to pro-
ceed cautiously and with delibera-
ton. First, a man in Nebraska will
be called upon, possibly because OF
incompetence" to send in his resig-
nation to Commissioner Cabeu, then
one from Georgia will be called, then
New York, and Florida, West Vir-
ginia and New Jersey. designations
will not be asked from any two near
by States at the sane time; thus
suspicion as to the real motive in
supplying new men will not be
caused.
That this plan is on foot is fur
ther evidenced by that fact that Com
missioner Cabell's Western trip will
not only bring him into touch with
the present collectors, but will also
give him the opportunity of selecting
new material.
The following are some Of the col
lectors in the South: Joseph E. Lee

A. Rucker, colored; Wheeler Martin

CHICAGO, May 14.-Failure to in
terest Chicago capitalists in his min

in his grasp, is believed to have been
the cause for Harry F. Waugh, min

ties from bed post.
Judging from the contents OF the di-
airy and other notes found in his room,
Waugh, since his early youth. had
been soldier of fortune. He tad
travelled to the far north when gold
was first discovered in Alaska. Later
he led sledge expedition to the delta
of the Mackenzie river The diary
is written in fine, scholarly hand,

The letters found in his room
showed. that Waugh had come east for
the purpose of interesting capital ir
