THAT LYNCHING AT DALLAS

committed very foul crime on
an infant girl. He was arrested
and in the court room 10 be tried :,

ed, provided he was not maniac.
A mob formed and stormed the
very citadel of justice, ran over
the deputies, ,rampled he Judge
under foot and threw the man out
Of the window and killed him and
then hanged him. A mob of the
best citizens, no doubt, Now
which is the most diaboIcal? The
fact that Negroes are said to have
helped in the mob does not pail
ate nor justify this overiunnlng
of organized government. Ne.
groeS are as bad as other people
especially when given so many
practical lessons in outlawry.
The main question is: Can a
government of mob law remain?

SPECULATION
 BROADENING
Bankers are Continuing Cautious in View of the Further Requirements
 for the Movement of Crops and
 Uncertainty of Foreign Exchange.

, New York, Oct. S.-Speculation in stocks bwoadened out this week and
 market pools set to work ill various specialties. The principal factor was the relaxation of the money market after the October settlement. Bankers continued cautious, however, in view of the further requirement. of the 'crop movement and the uncertainty 'of the foreign exchange situation. Re 'straint on the stock speculation came from that source.
 The improved bond market results from heavy curtailment of new issues which await favorable opportunity for Notation. The fine promise of the corn crop was offset partly by the cotton crop prospect. Betterment was reported the copper trade, but the iron and steel trade remains quiet.
 The market closed easy. A slight hardening of the general list was ac- companied by sharp advances i'll some specialties.

Shoppers Pockets

CHICAGO, June 1S-Mrs. Elizabeth
Costello, aged 80 years, wife of Reese
Costello, a former Brooklyn merchant
and politician, was arrested in a State

IT sold four saloons in New York af-

MAY STAY SELECTION
OF PANAMA FAIR CITY
Prediction at Capital Is That the
House Will Not Act at
This Session

WASHINGTON, June 1S-The cities
of San Francisco and New Orleans,
which have been engaged in spirited
contest before congress for the honor
of holding the international celebra-
ton of the opening Of the Panama
canal in 1915, are doomed to disap-
pointment as far as legislation at this
session is concerned. AT least, that is
the almost unanimous opinion of those
who have knowledge of the subject.
The southern members of the FOR
eign affairs committee, particularly
Representative Garner of Texas are
opposed to the passage in the house OF
the resolution reported favorably in
that committee on Thursday, inviting
foreign countries to participate in such
an exposition whenever cities compet-
ing for the honor nave raised $7,5OO00O
for the purpose of holding a fair.
Mr.. Garner is a supporter of New
Orleans and wants the matter to go
over until next session.
Mr.. Garner announced today that he
would refuse unanimous consent for
the consideration of the resolution in
the house and would also be able to
defeat any attempt to bring it up by a
two-thirds vote, required under the
rules.
The only way the matter can be
considered is by a special rule, which
is improbable, and even IL this were
done Mr.. Garner says the senate would
not act upon the resolution.

HUNDRED RIFLES SEIZED
IN A RAID AT CANANEA
ty-Three MexicanS Arrested
by Diaz' Troops

Ell PASO, Tex, June 18.-A special
to the Herald from Naco, Ariz., says
that siXty-three MeXicans were sur
rounded at a rendezvouz in Cananea
Thursday night and marched to Jail by
troops. Nearly a hundred rifles were
seized. Cananea is where the Mexican
revolutionary uprising occurred three
years ago. Since that time 800 soldiers
have been stationed at Cananea.
More troops are now en- route from
Hermosillo. The Cananea authorities
declare they are coming to fight the
forest fires in the Ojo mountains, but
the troops already at Cananea are be-
ing used for that purpose. A promi-
nent citizen of Naco. Sonora, is quoted
as saying:
Governor Torres would better keep
his troops at Hermosillo; he will need
them before the presidential election is
over. Yucatan is not the only place
where troops are needed in Mexico"
According to the Herald special, all
the 30-30 rifle ammunition on the bor-
der has been quietly bought up by un
known parties, and today it is impos
sible to secure any on the border.
