NEGRO BURNEDAT
STAKE IN TEXAS
Mob Drags Wounded Man Around
Square Before Placing
Him on Pyre.
LAssociated Press1

BELTON, Texas, July 22.-Henry
Gentry negro, IS years old, paid the
penalty of his crime of murder and
presumably intended assault, at the
stake tonight. while two others, a
brother and a companion, charged with
completely, missed a like fate only
through the pleadings of Sheriff Burke
and several citizens.
Early today the negro attempted to
force an entrance into the home of Mrs.
Lanes, a widow, but was frightened
away by a shot by the woman's daugh-
ter. Several hours later while Gentry
was being searched for by posse head
ed by Constable James Mitchell, Gem
try. firing from ambush, killed the
posse leader
The mob surrounded the fugitive,
and as it closed in Gentry made dash
for liberty but was shot and crippled.
He was dragged behind an automobile
to Bolton, where several thousand fren-
zied men awaited the coming.
AS the public square was reached
the rope was tossed to man on horse
back, and the negro was dragged about
the square to the pyre.
The applying of the torch was the
work of a moment, and while several
hundred shots were fired into his body
the already dying negro was inclner-
ated.
A dash was then made for the city
prison, where were the two others
charged with aiding Mitchell in the
killing of Mitchell. Pleading and a
show of force by the sheriff, however,
stopped the mob.

FOLK ADDRESSES
DEMOCRATIC CLUB
Former Governor Says Tariff for
Other Than Revenue Is
LegaIized Graft

SEATTLE, July 22.-Former Cover
nor Joseph w. Folk of Missouri was
the guest of honor at a banquet given
bv the King County Democratic cruz
here tonight. Governor Folk MADE the
principal address, urging the IneHlpel ,
of the party to work for grown atolls
progressive lines. He said IN part
1.-THE Republican party is dominates
by special interests and operates Win
them upon a profit-sharing basis we
should not be obliVious to the Idct,
however, that we have Aldriches ana
Cannons in our own party, and II Is
the duty of Democrats to lessen thelr
influence as much as possible.
"a tariff other than for revenue Is
merely a legalized graft. Let the Dem
ocratic party take an unmlstakap.tte
stand on this question and invite
everyone of all parties opposed 10 the
system of protection to unite with II
in the fight. If the Democratic party
fails to fight the system Of protectloh
and merely bubbles over schedules,
then it will have no reason Tor eA-
istence.
ut is a question for us now, not or
founding a new party, but or tne
preservation of the deals or the Ola
party. =
at is not enough for us to rest upon
the splendid history of the Democratic
party: there must be hopes and as
pirations for the future as well as ms
tory and records of the past. we must
progress or decay, we must grow bet
ter or we will grow worse.

.HOLBOROW WINS FROM
FREETH IN FAST TIME
WestIakeS and Biminis Fight to
a Tie in Water Polo Game
That PIeaSes Crowd

One of the largest crowds the Bimini
plunge has ever seen applauded the
efforts of the two crack Southern Cali
fornia swimmers, Holborow and
Freeth, in their seventy-five yard swim
last night and gave Holborow the glad
hand when he came in by scant two
feet, in the fast time of thirty-six Sec
onds. The race was one of the closest
ever seen around the local swimming
camps and Holborow was pressed to
his best pace to lead over the finishing
line.
The major portion of the program
was given over to q game of water
polo between the Bimini team and the
Westlakes, the contest resulting in a
goal for either side, 20.
w. Ranft starred with the Bimini
Baths team, scoring the two points for
Bimini and drawing the major portion
of the applause. E. Becker by his
under water swimming brought the
Westlake team their two points and
saved the day for the visitors. The
tie will be played off next Friday night
at the Bimini baths.
The program of the evening began
with some high and fancy diving by c.
Bowes, w. Ranft, E. Becker, r. Hedge
cock, r. Sweet, which made a great hit
with the spectators.
The lineup of the water polo teams
was as follows:
Bimini Baths-W. Ranft, forward; l..
Crawford, goal; r. Sweet, forward; c.
Edwards, guard; r. Morser, guard.
Westlake-E. Becker, forward; G.
Hugo, goal; r. Hedgecock, forward; E.

ARREST NEGRO IN
THE RAWN CASE
Chauffeur Is Suspected of Con-
neCtion with Death of
Railroad President
Associated Press1

CHICAGO, July 22.-Ernest Hoffman,
a negro chauffeur formerly employed
by Mr. Rawn, was arrested here late
today as a suspect in connection with
the railroad presidents death. Hoff-
man was discharged last December,
and as late as last May is declared to
have threatened Mr.. Rawn's life.
The arrest of Hoffman," whose real
name it is learned, is Ernest Stevens,
was made on information supplied by
H. p. Cullen, a friend Of the former
Monon president. Cullen swore to an
affidavit to the effect that he heard the
negro, referring to Rawn, say:
"Ill get that white man; I'll get
him."
Stevens was employed by Mr. Rawn
from May, 1906, to December, 1909.
Assistant Chief of Police Schuettler
said aside from this the detectives had
secured no evidence against Stevens.
Although too i'll to attend her hus-
banfs funeral, Mrs. Ira G.. Rawn,
widow of the Monon road president,
today made a detailed statement of
the shooting of Mr.. Rawn at his sum-
mer home in Winnetka last Wednes-
day morning.
In a general way, this statement
bears out the stories of the death OF
Mr.. Rawn as told by his son-in-law
P. q. Coburn, Mrs. Rawn saying she
and her husband were awakened by
a. noise on the first floor of the house
that Mr.. Rawn picked up his revolver
and started downstairs. Then, says
Mrs. Rawn, she heard a noise of some
sort, apparently on the stairway, and
a shot or shots.
Detectives in the employ of insur-
ance companies remained in Winnetka
over night.
Insurance officials who are investi-
eating the case independently because
of his s147 ,OOO worth of life and acci-
dent insurance, refused to voice any
definite opinion. If their investigation
should disclose that Mr.. Rawn ended
his life, the accident policies aggregat-
ing $1O5,OO would probably become
worthless.
IF the second bullet is found as
it is alleged to have been, the murder
theory is made much stronger" said
Coroner Hoffman last night

OFFICERS CHOSEN
BY HIBERNIANS
James ]. Regan of st. Paul Is
Elected as Head of
the Order
[Associated PreBsl

PORTLAND, Ore, July 22.-Practi-
cally the whole day was taken up by
the national convention of the National
Order of Hibernians In electing officers,
and when adjournment for supper was
taken there yet remained the choosing
of the directors.
The selection of officers was a long
drawn out proceeding, and the discus
sion of the merits Of various candi-
dates was at times somewhat heated.
1t required all but the 1rst few min
utes of the morning session to select
the national president. James p. Regan
of st. Paul, the present national vice
president, was finally chosen over
Matthew Cummings of Massachusetts,
the incumbent.
Gossip after the election indicates
that President Cummings had been re-
tired almost wholly for the reason that
he has already held the office for two
terms. The delegates, both those who
opposed as well as those who supported
him, were agreed that President Cum
mings had made a splendid executive
and had accomplished great things for
the order. The convention was very
evenly divided on the presidency. Mr..
Regan being selected by the close mar
gin of twelve votes.
The vice presidency went to Joseph
Mclaughlin of Philadelphia.
National Secretary McGinnis OF
Scranton, Pa, was returned to that
Office today without opposition. John
F.. Quinn of Chicago, national treas
urer, was mot so fortunate in his con-
test as McGinnis, for Thomas Maloney
of Council Bluffs, Iowa, whose candi-
dacy was announced yesterday, gained
the office by small margin. The con-
convention was in session tonight.
Miss Anna G. Malta of Scranton, Pa,
was tonight re-elected president of the
ladies' auxiliary of the A. o. H.
Shortly after midnight the Hiber-
mans elected the following board of
directors:
William ]. Doherty, Illinois; Michael
f. Powers, Michigan; Rev. William T..
Mclaughlin, New Jersey; Patrick T..
Moran, washington, D. c., and Charles
J. Foy. Canada.
At midnight the Ancient Order of
Hibernians had not agreed on a board
of directors. nor had the next place
of meeting been chosen. Much import
ant business is yet to be transacted
by the convention and the indicationg
point to an all night session.
