TWO men LYNCHED
BY FLORIDA MOB
Sixty Men Took Two Italians From
Custody of Officers and Lynched
Them Last Night.
(Bg Associated PreSS.)

Tampa, Fla, Sept. 21.-County and
city officers are today searching for
clews to the identity of the sixty men
composing the mob which last night
took Angelo Albano and Castengo
Ficarrotta, two Italians from the GUS
tody of two officers, and lynched
them just outside of the city limits.
1t is believed that the lynching is
a development in the cigarmakers'
strike here, in which some 5000 cigar
makers are involved, although some
of the officers hold to the belief that
it is the result of an Italian feud in
which the notorious "blackhand"
plays a prominent part.
The two Italians lynched yesterday
were arrested on the charge of being
implicated in the shooting of J. F.
Easterling, bookkeeper of cigar
| firm involved in the cigarmakers'
strike. Easterling was shot in the
back last week after his return from
Jacksonville, where he had carried a
force of hands to open factory fol-
his firm.
The bodies Of the two victims were
left hanging throughout the night and
were not cut down until o'clock this
morning. Coroner Boyette ordered al
inquest, but it was adjourned soor
after it convened in order to wait un
til more evidence could be secured.
This morning the authorities a
West Tampa called upon the munich
pality of Tampa for extra police anC
a force of reserves were sent to tina
section at once. Crowds of foreigner
were gathered on the streets excited.
discussing the lynching and there wa
fear of further trouble.

NO change IN The
new YORK PLANS
Griscomb Declares That the Roosevelt
on the Campaign.

New York, Sept. 21,-Chairman
Griscomb, of the Republican county
committee, said that the Taft-Roose-
welt conference Monday would not
have the effect of changing in the
least the plans of the progressives in
their campaign against the "old guard
for control of the Republican state
convention.
If the question OF an endorsement
by the Saratoga convention of Presi-
dent Taft for 1912 discussed at all
Mr.. Griscomb said, it was between the
president and Colonel Roosevelt. The
subject was not discussed in his pres
ence.
Reports from progressives upstate
Mr.. Griscomb said, indicated that at
least $40 of the 1915 delegates would
support Col. Roosevelt for the tenn
porary craftsmanship, while the "olo
guard" leaders claimed about 500.

Will REMOVE SNAGS
FROM river CHANNEL
And Place Hattiesbure in Position to
"HeIp Itself" in the Matter of SoIv-
ina the Vexatious Freight Rate
Problem.

A visit to Leaf river at the point
where the steam snag boat, which
will be named Hattiesburg, is being
built by the government, was made by
a News reporter today.
A crew of dozen men under the
immediate direction of j. T. Byram
are hard at work, and hope to have
the boat ready to launch in six weeks
time. 1t will be a steam snag-puller
60 feet in length and twenty feet width
propelled by means of other than
steam. It will begin the work of re
moving sunken logs, snags and othel
obstructions, and work down the rivel
from Hattiesburg till it meets the De
mopolis, which is now working up the
river from Pascagoula.
Mr.. Byram suggests that no attach
ment for removing sand bars will b'
made, in that winged jetties are more
desirable and satisfactory. He stated
further that the removal of all kinds o
distractions to Pascagoula will giv'
the people of Hattiesburg an oppor
tunity to build them a boat and brini
about a reduction of freight rates b.
plying it a few trips to Pascagoul
and back. He says the governmen
is only giving the people of Hatties
burg a chance to help themselves.
The day of launching the "Hatties
burg" should be a propitious one TO
all Hattiesburg, and as many peopl
as possible should witness the launch
ing.

HATTESBRG MISSISSIPPI WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON SEPTEMBER 81 1910
Who Will BE The
NORMAL PRESIDENT
Many Names Have Been Suggested
for This Position-Job May Go to
Bailey of jackson.

Jackson, Miss, Sept. 21.-Since the
disposal of the State Normal College,
the question has come prominently
to the front, "Who shall be its presi-
dent?" With the exception of Cover
nor Noel the members of the board OF
trustees are all men who are promi-
nently identified with educational af-
fairs of the state, and several of them
have been mentioned in connection
with that honor.
Among the trustees the names most
often heard as qualified to make ideal
presidents, are those of Prof. ]. c.
FAINT. formerly of the Meridian schools
but now a member of the University
of Mississippi faculty, one of the most
prominent educators of the state;
Prof. Joe Cook of Columbus, another
gentleman most actively engaged in
educational work and a teacher OF
recognized ability; Professor T. p
Scott of Brookhaven, and Professor
]. E. Brown of Blue Mountain, botf
teachers of more than statewide repu
Itation.
1t is hardly probable, however, tha
the honor will go to a member of thu
board, and the outsiders who are be
ling prominently mentioned are Pro
fessor E. L. Bailey, superintendent
of the schools of this city, and Profes
sor E. L. Todd, of Natchez.
The trustees will be in no hurry t
make the selection, as it will take a
least eighteen months to build an
have the college ready for the accep
ance of students, and by that tim
some one whose name has not eve
been thought of in connection wit
the place may be chosen.
