DOUBLE LYNCHING
NEAR MACON, GA.
SAME MOB THOUGHT TO HAVE
KILLED BOTH.
Tom Allen Taken From Train and Shot.
Joe Waits Taken After Storming
Monroe Jail.

Monroe, Ga,-Two negroes were
lynched in this county Tuesday.
Tom Allen, accused of attacking q
white roman several weeks ago, was
taken from a train at Social Circle, near
here, tied to a telephone pole and shot
to death. He was in charge of three
officers who were overpowered by mem.
bers of the mob.
Nearly twelve hours later, in broad
daylight, men who are thought to have
composed the first mob stormed the jail
here, secured Joe Watts, another negro
held for acting suspiciously around the
home of Bud Haw, and put him to death.
Allen was in charge of three officers,
being handcuffed between two of them.
When the train stopped members of the
mob entered the car and at the points
Of guns, took the two officers the negro
was chained to. The third officer es-
capped. Outside the mob detached the
negro and put him to death.
Soon after Aliens trial was postponed
and he was brought to Atlanta his at
torneys asked for a change of venue,
fearing mob violence. 1t was denied.

REDUCED OUTPUT

REDUCTION IN WAGES AND WORK.
ING HOURS MADE.
Tells How Agreement Was Effected
Among New England Mills
and How 1t Worked.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. among the
mill owners to curtail production of cot
ton goods and reduction in wages and in
the number Of working hours OF EN-
ployes were means employed through the
Arkwright Club of Boston to maintain
the prices Of cotton products, according
to Edward Stanwood, secretary Of the
club, who appeared before the house
committee on expenditures in the depart
ment of justice. The committee is in
quiring into the recent corner" in cot
ton.
Mr.. Stanwood testified that the club
was a social business organization in
which cotton mills were represented by
their treasurers, the club funds being
contributed by the corporations repre-
scented. The contributors include mills in
many New England towns.
Two efforts of the club to secure con-
certed action among the New England
cotton owners for curtailing the output
OF the mills were described by Mr., Stan
wood.
"On December IS, 1907" he said, the
club instituted a policy Of curtailment
and a letter was read from Richard o.
ney, giving as his opinion that an agree
ment among cotton millers to curtail
production would not be in violation Of
any law"
Did all the firms represented agree to
curtail2" asked Chairman Beall.
Probably not more than half did. In
February, 1905, we considered curtail-
ment OF production and an early reduc.
ton in wages throughout the New Eng
land mills. A committee appointed to
consider these questions never reported.
In October, 1909, an agreement vas
made by the members of the club to cut
the working hours OF each week from
October, 1909, to August, 1910, to fifty
six hours. The agreement was generally
observed"

Washington.-Restrictio Of competl'

75 per cent of the lake ores, upon which
the present steel industry is based.

ALAS FOR THE PETITE.

Like English women, French women
are growing taller-at least, in Paris.
The results Of the careful and minute
measurement Of 255 P~arisiennes, aged
from twenty-one to lfty-fye years."
have been communicated to the Acad-
envy Of Sciences, says the Pail Mall
Gazette. 1t was found that the aver
age height Of the Partisan woman has
increased from 5 feet 6-100 inches to
5 feet / 23-100 inches. They are taller
by almost IL inches than the women
Of the rest OF France. At the same
time we are told that in 1909 1879
English mothers and daughters were
similarly measured, and the results
communicated there. The average
height for the mothers was found to
be 5 feet 84-100 inches, and for the
daughters 8 feet 2 2-5 inches. English
women had thus grown just over III
inches in a generation. Whether the
255 Parisians measured were mothers
or daughters, or both, is not stated.
The only conclusion to be derived
from the statistics in this connection,
accordingly, is that the Parisienne Of
1911 in height comes between the Eng
fish mother and the English daughter
Of 1911. But she is not half an inch
taller than the former, and has still
much to grow before she reaches the
contemporary English girl.

RECIPROCITY WINS
IN FIRST ROUND
ROOT AMENDMENT DEFEATED BY
OVERWHELMING MAJORITY.
Lafollette Will Offer Amendments fol
Free Paper, Free Lumber and Many
Reductions.

Washington.-The Canadian reciproo
lty bill emerged from its first ordeal in
the senate Monday night unscathed. The
Root amendment proposing a modifca-
ton of the wood pulp and print paper
section of the agreement was defeated
by an overwhelming vote after seven
hours of debate. Friends of the amend
ment were so satisfied of its defeat a
roll call on the vote was not demanded.
This leaves the reciprocity measure
open to the general fight that is to fol-
low for amendment of important proyis-
ions Of the Payne tariff law. Senator
Lafollette announced in a speech ppos.
ing the Root amendment he would give
to the senate a chance to pass on gen.
eral tariff amendments for free paper,
free lumber and lumber products and for
reductions in many other schedules. Sen.
ator Clapp also announced his intention
OF Offering a free paper amendment later
and other senators gave evidence of their
purpose to force from now on considera
ton of tariff revision on the widest
plane.
Attack on the Root amendment was
interspersed with attacks on the whole
reciprocity measure in the debate that
ran throughout the afternoon and which
resulted in the defeat of Senator Roots
proposal to change the house bill by re.
curing that all Canadian provinces
should remove their export restrictions
on pulp wood and its products, before
the reciprocal features of the wood pulp
and print paper items of the agreement
become effective.
