Molly looked over the stock, but

DISCOVERS A NEW DYESTUFF
Prot. Hodason Gives Bradford City
Council an Asset Said to Be OF
Great Commercial Value.

Iondon.-The Bradford City council
is in the enviable position Of being
the owner of a new process Of dyeing,
which is expected to be Of the great
est commercial value.
Three years ago the Bradford Tech
nical college appointed DR.. II. H.
Hodgson as lecturer on chemistry,
with the specific duty of carrying on
investigations in applied chemistry
which should keep Bradford as an
industrial community abreast of mod
ern developments.
Prof. Hodgson is understood to have
discovered a new dyestuff, which has
been Professionally protected under the
patent laws and meanwhile the city
council has been called upon to decide
what shall be done with the new mu-
nicipal asset.
Three suggestions have been made,
One is to sell the patent rights out
right, another is to have the discov-
cry worked on a royalty principle,
and the third is that 1t be worked d.
rectly by the corporation. The last
named suggestion has been declared
impracticable. A subcommittee, COM
posed of men prominently connected
with Bradford trade, has been APP
pointed, with power to deal with the
matter.
Having regard to the financial and
commercial Importance of precious
discoveries, such as aniline dyes,
Bradford ratepayers are looking for
ward with eager interest to further
developments.
Prof. Hodgson was poor scholar at
a Bradford elementary school, and
won a scholarship which took him
to the secondary school, and thence
to Cambridge university.

WOMAN TRAPS
BLACK HANDLER
Gives Him $500 When He Calls

DETECTIVES WERE WAITING.
Mrs. A. M. Billings, OF Chicago,
Aged 80 Years, Cots Threaten
Ing Letter Demanding Cash
--Pollce Were Waiting.

Chicago.-While c. X. G. Billings,
driving his champion gelding, Uhlan,
was hanging up new worlds trot-
ting record at Cleveland his mother,
Mrs. A. M. Billings, Of Chicago, de-
spite her SO years, was making a
little record of her own In capturing
would-be blackmailer, or black
mailers, who are alleged to have
made threats in true Black Hand
fashion.
John Mills, colored man, who
says Cairo, ILL.,, in his home, and
John Hendricks, white man, about
81 years old, and whom the police
styled hobo" from his appearance,
were arrested Thursday Mrs. Bill
ings received letter demanding that
$500 be wrapped in bundle of old
clothes and given to a man who
would call today and ask for work,
also package"
Mrs. Billings promptly notified
firm of private detectives, who called
the official police to their aid. They
were secreted about the grounds of
the Billings home at 1924 West Lake
street today, when Mills appeared.
II want job about the horses
here,' Mills said to the maid who
answered the door and who had
been coached by Mrs. Billings in her
part.
1--WE have no such work here" she
replied.
We'll, then, how about that pack
age?" Mills is said to have asked.
At this point the maid invited the
mysterious visitor into the house and
notified Mrs. Billings, who, owing to
the infirmities Of her years, was in
bed.
The maid was given a bundle OF
old clothes but there was no money
concealed within 1t, and this she
handed to the negro, asking him to
wait for a few moments. Then the
dete ,tives were notified and Mills ar
rest followed.
He expressed surprise at his deten-
rion. He declared that he came to
Chicago from Cairo and that he met
stranger who gave his name as
John Hendricks at a saloon in West
Madison street. Hendricks, he said,
asked him II he wanted to earn $50.
Mills was willing, and, he said, he
was told to visit the Billings home
and to ask the questions about work,
and in particular about the package.
He was to receive his pay upon the
completion OF his mission.
Mills. after his arrest, led the Off
ceis to West Side saloon, where he
pointed out Hendricks, who is a Ger
man, ard speaks little English. He
was sullen and refused to answer the
questions put to him by the police.
Mills said that he was the tool of
Hendricks and knew nothing of the
threatening letter received by Mrs.
Billings.

MOB MAKES PYRE
OF HOSPITAL BED
Pennsylvania Mob Burns Negro
at Stake.
HAD KILLED A POLICEMAN.
Desperate Taken Half q Mile Out
OF Town--Makes Piteous
But Vain Appeal
For Mercy.

Coatesville, Pa.-Zachariah Wall
ker, a negro desperate, was carried
on a cot from the hospital here Sum
day night and burned to a crisp by
frenzied mob of men and boys on
fire which they ignited about a
half mile from town. The negro,
who had shot and killed Edw. Rice,
special policeman OF the Fort
Worth Iron Mills Saturday night,
was first dragged to the scene OF the
shooting, begging piteously for
mercy.
He had been arrested by a posse
Sunday afternoon after search
which had stirred the countryside.
When the posse finally located him
he was found hiding in a cherry tree,
and with the last bullet in his re-
volver shot himself in the mouth,
falling from the tree. He was re-
moved to the hospital and placed
under police guard.
few minutes after 9 o'clock, a
crowd numbering almost 1000 pei
sons appeared at the hospital. The
leaders were unable to gain admis-
sion, but quickly smashed the win
dow frames and crawled through the
corridor. A policeman, who had
been placed on duty to watch Wal
ker, was the only person in the
building besides the nurses and pa
tients.
The leader of the mob placed his
hands over the policemen's eyes,
while others, who had entered the
building, set about to take their
man from the hospital. When
Walker was taken to the hospital ne
was strapped down in order to pre-
vent his escape. The mob seeing
this gathered up the bed and, placing
it on the shoulders of four men,
started for the country.
The negro was begging piteously
to be released, but his pleadngs fell
upon deaf ears. A match was placed
to the pile Of grass and the flames
shot up quickly, entirely enshroud-
ing the screaming victim. That not
a vestige of the murderer be left,
the mob tore down the fence along
the road and piled the rails upon
the burning negro.
The lynching was accomplished
only after the negro, mad from pain,
had leaped from the blazing pyre
built over him and tried to escape
dragging the bed to which he was
bound by his handouts. The mob
leaders beat him with fence rails and
forced him. shrieking, back into the
flames. Three times, he bounded uI
and three times was thrust back un'
til finally the quivering body fell
into the fire.
After waiting for half an hour the
mob dispersed as quietly as it had
come.
A curious feature OF the burning
was the fact that there were almost
as many women in the crowd as men

NATIONAL FOOD PROSE BEGUN.
Third Of its Kind VIII Cover Period
OF Nine Months.

Washington.-A countrywide in
vestigation of the wholesale and re-
tail prices of all foods, which will
require nine months to complete and
which will represent the most thor
ough inquiry of its kind yet attempt
ed, hiss been begun by the Depart
ment Of Commerce and Labor.
This investigation will cover the
years 1908, 1909, 1910 and 1911. BY
comparison with records of the De-
partment of Agriculture for the same
period 1t will be possible to know
just what prices were paid for every
commodity now used, from the time
It left the producer until served at
the table of the consumer.
The present investigation is the
third of its kind attempted by the
Department of Commerce and Labor.
Four experts, under the direction of
f. V. CroXton, are now touring the
country in search OF data, Over all
of the experts is A. w. A. Hanger,
chief statistician, to whom the rec
ords will be first submitted before
they are published.
Whether the data of this investi-
cation will be made the subject OF
Congressional inquiry into the high
cost of living or will be turned over
to a committee of experts, who wiz
seek from the figures at their COM
mand to evolve the solution of the
high price of foods, will not be de-
termined until some time next win
ter, when the report will be made
