INSANE MAN
ON RAMP AGE

Word was received today by
County Judge Bushey from Mill City
to the effect that Gates character
was on the rampage and had made
several attempts to take his own
life by shooting himself with a re-
volver. The judge was asked the
best course to pursue in caring for
the man, but all the information
Judge Bushey could give was to
bring the man to Salem and have
him examined and If found insane,
send him to the asylum. The name
of the would-be suicide could not be
learned as the telephone communi-
cation was poor. The informer at
Gates told Judge Bushey that the
man had been drinking heavily OF
late Notwithstanding the local op-
ton town. and the liquor had at
fected his brain.

down from that town this morning in
a livery rig together with a Metho-

set and fell into a ditch filled with
water, at the side or the road Swank,
who looks at the funny side Of things,

It all was that after they were all in
the bottom the man closest to pur-
gatory was the Methodist minister
who was on the bottom of the pile,
and Swank was on top.
Mr.. Swank says the ministers like
to ask him questions, and they often
ask him what he thinks OF Christian
Science. He says Il always reply that

Third Parliament of King Ed
wards Reign Opened in
State This Afternoon.
THROWS DOWN GAUNTLET
The Indiscretion of the Kings Speech
Precipitated a Crisis Between the
Liberals ON One Side and the Ma
tiOnals and LabOrers ON the Other.

London, Feb. 21.-King Edward
failed to cut the Gordian Knot in
his speech opening the third parlla-
ment of his reign today, and by his
indiscretion precipitated a crisis be-
tween the Liberals on one side and
the Nationalists and Laborites on the.
other.
These three parties were SUP
posed to have reached an agreement
by which they would form coali-
ton to support the ministerial pro-
gram and make possible effective
legislation.
1t was thought the king would in
dicate whether he wanted the bud,
get or the bill curtailing the veto
power of the lords taken up first.
He failed to do this, but through the
prominence which he gave to the
budget, he indicates that he wants it
first.
The third parliament of King Ed
wards reign, which was assembled
formally last Tuesday, was opened
in state" at o'clock this afternoon,
with the prospect of a thrilling ses-
sion.
Hundreds of thousands of Lon
doners, thousands of sight seers'
from the country, all conspired to
throng the streets around Westmin-
ster today when King Edward
drove out in state.
Although there was no fear of any
attempt on the king and his queen,
yet two regiments of Life Guards IN
their picturesque attire were stand
ing today with bayonets drawn,
guarding the line oe the route.
They gave a fine touch of color to-
the entire scene.
Preceded by mounted troops, the
great officers of state, in carriages
drawn by eight horses were the
first to be seen. They attracted lit
tie attention, for the eyes of all were
waiting for a glimpse of King Ed
ward.
Presently the state coach OF the

in which one would expect king

Even stranger on the route
could have no doubt as to the popu-
larity enjoyed by King Edward
among his people. Hardly had his
coach come in sight than the air
was rent by salvos OF cheers that
seemed almost TO make the houses
rock. No one enjoys his popularity
more than Edward VII, and as he

Deceived Government

By guerilla warfare and great activity
in cutting telegraph wire and in making
night marches, he succeeded in deceiv-
ing the government and the country gen.
orally as to his whereabouts. At times
his force was split into small columns
which attacked and delivered an occa-
eional stroke. Following this plan
Chamorro was reported simultaneously
at MagaIpa. al Muymuy. at Boaco, at
Comiapa and at other places.
There is reason to believe the reports
OF his capture OF Granda and of the
steamer Victoria on Lake Managua were
promulgated by President Madriz for the
sole purpose Of drawing Chamorro into
that vicinity.
Chamorro's defeat leaves only General
Mena's comparatively small force inter
posed between the enemy's 1000 men and
the east coast Some OF the provisional
leaders profess TO believe that with
Mena's soldiers and such OF the depleted
insurgent force as could be rallied from
the frontier fol the defense of a new
republic. they would stand some chance
OF success and that there is a possibility
that the United States would recognize
the new government and forbid further
fighting on the ground that the move of
the government forces to the east would
be an invasion OF one country by an
other.

MANY PETITIONS ASK

congress as a result of conference at
the National hotel last night between

tee, Congressman Hardwick, Hughes,
James OF Kentucky, Morgan of Okla

nessee, Robinson of Arkansas, Senator
Smith of South Carolina, and others.
The conference devoted practically all
of it's attention to consideration of the
parcels post question, though of course,
the pending fight for the suppression OF
gambling in farm products and the pos
upon.
There are pending in congress a dozen
or more parcels post bills, and the con-
ference did not discuss any particular
measure, but confined itself TO the con-
sideratfon of the principles involved. 1t
was thoroughly developed that the post
office committee of the house is over
whelmingly against the proposed legIs-
lation, and 1t was the general impress
sion that this opposition is explained by
the fact that Speaker Cannon packed the
committee to stifle parcels post system.
Considering the strong committee OPP
position the conference decided that the
best way to proceed would be by petit
ton. 1t is believed that the committee
may be moved to report a parcels post
bill, if a majority of the house member
ship petitions for an opportunity or con-
Sidering the measure of it's merits.
President Barrett today expressed his
qualification at the excellent shape in
which the Farmers union fight is in at
present, and he is hopeful that much of
the legislation that the organiZa ton is
advocating will be passed at the present
session of congress.

AssaiIant of Three Year Old
Girl Has Neck Broken by Fall,
but Crowds Hang Body to
Arch
DEAD NEGRO DRAGGED
THROUGH MAIN STREET
Police Finally Prevent Texas
Mob From Burning Body OF
Black Who Was Captured,
Awaiting Trial
(By Associated Press.)

DALLAS, Tex, March 3.-Allen
Brooks, a negro, charged with assaults
ing 3-year-old white girl, was lynched
here today by a mob composed of, it Is
estimated, 5000 men.
Brooks was in the court room awaiting
trial when the mob surrounded the Off
GERS and threw the negro from the sec
ond story window, breaking his neck.
A rope was then placed around the
dead mans neck and he was dragged
down Main street, a distance of ten
blocks, to the Elks arch, where the body
was strung up. The police succeeded IN
preventing the body of the negro from
being burned.
THROWN FROM WINDOW.
Brooks, who assaulted Three-year-old
Mary Buevens, was at once indicted by
the grand jury and his trial set for to-
day. In the meantime he had been
taken to Sherman Jail for safe keeping.
He was brought to Dallas today and
taken at once to the court room. Pend
ing the argument of the negroes attor-
ney for a conclusion, the mob overpow-
cred the officers and captured the pris-
oner and threw him from the window.
Sheriff Ledbetter and his deputies were
powerless to prevent the lynching.
The mob entered the court house about
II o'clock, but despite its large size there
was little excitement and no shooting
occurred.
The militia and extra police were or
dered out. but before they could reach
the scene the mob had secured possess
sion of the negro.
Following the lynching of Brooks the
mob marched to the jail, and it is be-
lieved they intend to lynch two other
negro murGerers-Burrell Oates and Sol
Aranoff. This. it is thought, however,
will be prevented.
At noon the available militiamen, extra
police and firemen were ordered to the
jail The mayor has issued an order
closing all the saloons. A number OF
negroes participated in the lynching OF
Brooks
MOB STORM JAILS.
Shortly before o'clock the mob storm
ed the Jail and endeavored TO batter
down the doors with heavy railroad ties,
shouting for Burrell Oates and Bub Rob-
inson, the other two negroes.
The officers tried to pacify the mob by
assuring them that both of the negroes
had been taken to Fort Worth.
In an effort to dispense the mob the
fire department threw streams of water
on its members, who Immediately at
tackled the firemen and threatened to
lynch them if they persisted in throwing
water. The firemen, fearing possible
violence, rolled up their hose and left
the scene

SWAINSBORO, Ga, March "a tel
egram received here today states that
Will Smith, carnival attache who was
shot here Saturday night by a negro.
Bob Moore, died in Augusta today at
the hospital, where he was taken for
treatment
Quite a good deal of mystery is attach
ed TO the case as there were no wit
nesses to the shooting and the victim
was a stranger. When Deputy Sheriff
Coursey found him he was lying near
the Georgia and Florida railway depot,
in the throes of death, ii seemed, al
though still conscious. AS best he could
he described the person who shot him,
and this description tailed with Moore
so we'll, that he was thought to have
been the one who did the shooting, the
circumstances surrounding the killing
bearing out this conclusion, and Moore
was arrested.
Moore strenuously denies that he had
anything whatever to do with the kill
ing, his wife, however, stating that her
husband did kill the stranger, who tat
first it was alleged went to Moores
house for the purpose of buying whisky.
Since Smiths death, Moore's wife has
been arrested and placed in Jail, Moore
now accusing her with doing the shoot
ing.
The officers found on the person of
Smith $500, and it is not believed that
robbery was the motive of the killing.
