MOB RULES DALLAS, TEXAS.
Takes Aged Colored Man from Court

Snatched from before the bar of
justice, where his trial on the charge
of criminally assaulting a 2-year-old
white child was about to begin, Allen
Brooks, an aged negro, was lynched
in Dallas, Texas, by a mob of 5000
men.
Brooks was seized in the courtroom
by fifteen leaders of the avenging mob
and was tossed through a window 70
the main body, which waited like Il
pack of ravening wolves for their
prey, in the street below. His broken
body was dragged through the streets
and he was hanged to the Elks' arch,
high above the heads of the avenging
citizens. The mob was led by an old
negro. With it all hardly loud word
was spoken, not a shot was fired, and
above the dull murmurings of the mob
could be heard the aged negro's pierre
ing shrieks for mercy
After Brooks was hanged Dallas for
nearly three hours was in the hands Of
the mob The jail was stormed and
death was threatened to three other
negroes, held on charges of murder
They had been spirited away, how
ever, and after searching for them in
vain the mob dispersed.
The crime for which Brooks paid the
penalty was one of the most brutal in
the history of Dallas. His victim is

NEW YORK

Trade is still irregular, and spring
trade is rather backward in developing
at many points. Weather conditions,
flooded stream, and bad country roads
are variously assigned as reasons for
the hesitation shown in various lines,
but back of all these there is an IN
deniable feeling of conservatism, bred
of the uncertainty regarding the recep-
ton to be given higher-priced products
by the ultimate consumer. Recorder
trade in spring goods by jobbers is not
especially large, and business at first
hands is held back, pending clearer
views of price matters and crop pros
poets. Collections are widely quoted
as slow.

URGES YOUNGER NAVY.
Taft Asks Congress to Permit OFF,
cers' Earlier Promotion.

L.
The need of young blood in the com
mands of the navy was the keynote o.
special message which President
Taft the other day sent to Congress
urging legislation for improving the
personnel of the fighting force and for
remeGying what the President termed
an abnormal condition, the result of
past legislation"
Under conditions now existing, the
President declared, the promotion Of
officers of the lower grades is stagnat-
ed, tn the great detriment of the SER
vice and the country, and because near
ly every officer who retains his health
Is allowed to pass through the various
grades and be retired as rear admiral
the greater number of commanding Of
fcers have had inadequate experience
Under The existing system officers
now being trained in the command of
battle ships and armored cruisers could
not serve as flag officers on account
of their short time on the active list
after reaching that grade.
To remedy these conditions the Pres
ident Endorsed a bill which had been
prepared by Secretary Meyer, which
would promote officers to the grade Of
rear admiral at an average age of "a to
80 years and to captain at the average
age of 46 to At. These changes, the
President said, in his opinion would
not provide men young enough for the
best success in a fleet engagement,
should war come; but he felt they were
decided improvement, and he init
mated that at some other time it might
be advisable to make even further re-
auctions in the ages

HUNDREDS LOSE LIVES
IN IDAHO AVALANCHE
Burke and Mace Are Overwhelmed
by Huge Masses That Slide
Down Mountain.
FAMILIES TRAPPED IN SLEEP
Snowslides That Destroy Property
and People Started by Chinook
Winds and Warm Rains.

Sixty lives have been lost, it is fear
ed, in two great snowslides which
brought dismay to the mining towns of
the rich Occur d'Alene district IN
Northern Idaho. a. 1875 o'clock the
other night snowslide swept down
the mountain, striking the little town
OF Mace and burying twenty-five houses
and their sleeping occupants in mass
OF snow and ice at the bottom of the
canyon. At $50 a. N. the next day,
another slide rushed down on the town
OF Burke, crushing a score of houses
under thousands of tons of earth and
snow There is fear that the number
OF dead at Burke may be even lar rer
than that at Mace Because of the
larger population of Burke, about 900,
the houses were closer together.
Mothers hauled their children to the
side hills; brothers dragged little sis
tiers to places of safety, and when the
side struck many of the homes were
deserted by fear-stricken women and
children, while the bread providers
were rescuing injured at the stricken
sister town.
Old-timers in the Occur d'Alene dis
trict had been sounding daily warnings
TO Mace, Burke and Black Bear that
because of the record depth of the
snow, slides were imminent. For six.
teen winters these towns have cs-
capped devastating slides and so strong
had the confidence of the miner resi-
10
lies were safe that no precautions had
been taken.
The little mining town of Mace lies
between precipitous mountain sides,
struggling line of cottages in the creek
bottoms, bisected by the lines of the
Northern Pacific and Oregon Railroad
and Navigation Company. It's one L
dustry is mining and its big mine IS
the Standard. With scarce a dividing
line perceptible the towns of Black
Bear, Gem, Mace and Burke form 9
long string of houses for six miles.
Mace is divided into two parts,
known as Upper and Lower Mace, re-
spectively. The catastrophe occurred
IN Lower Mace, where dwelt about 300
miners employed in the Standard
mines. Most of these men we're unmar-
RED and lived in the Hotel Standard.
Reports are that this hotel was in the
path of the avalanche.
Though first reports of the disaster
were that the town of Gem, Idaho, a
mile above Mace on the same side of
the canyon, had been overwhelmed,
later news indicates that the town es-
capped. The slide was half a mile long
and thirty feet deep.
Thirty-five Italians, sleeping in IN
outfit car on the Northern Pacific sid
ing, who were swept away with Lnsir
car in the bottom of the canyon, used
the tools in their car to dig themselves
out
Chinook winds and warm rains start
ed the Burke snowslide, which incre4s-
ed in velocity with every foot down
the mountain until it gained such
Roadway and force that only binding
mist and a roaring warned the score
of families of miners of its approach.
Surface trans were crushed and twist
ed and cabins were ground to atoms.

% KILLED IN ALASKA MINE.
Powder Magazine Explodes in Gold
Property on Douglas Island.

Twenty-three miners were killed at
midnight the other night by an ex-
plosion of a powder magazine in the
1,100 level of the Mexican mine, one
of the group Of Treadwell gold prop
critics on Douglas Island, Alaska.
Eight men were seriously injured, Of
whom it is feared four will die. The
last shots had been fired by the shift
Of men twenty minutes before the ex-
plosion took place, and the men had
assembled at the landing on the skip
and were arranging to enter it and
go on top. The magazine, which con-
tains 275 pounds of powder, was thir-
ty feet away from the place where the
men were standing, and every man
was killed or injured.
