SHERIFF SAVES negro
FROM MODS VIOLENCE

POPLAR BLUFF, Mo-, Aug. 16.-
Spiriting Charley Smith, 17-yearold
negro, from the Butler county Jail to
a Frisco train, officers undoubtedly
prevented a mob from lynching the
prisoner.
Groups of men gathered on the
street, discussing the mysterious kill
ing of Henry Little, the 9-year-old son
of Mr.. and Mrs.. Deck Little, whose
body was found in the Black river
with a broken neck and numerous
bruises over his body. The body was
found after an all.night search.
The groups of men constantly in
creased as night approached, and soon
talk was heard on every hand OF
lynching Charley Smith, who had
been arrested in connection with the
murder.
Sawmili Men Join Mob.
Hundreds of men who are employed
at the sawmills near Poplar Bluff
came into the city, and, excited by
drink, they eagerly joined the men
who proposed the negro be taken from
the Jail and lynched. When the situa-
ton became serious and it was ap

men and told them violence was use
less and were successful in convinc'
ing them that lynching would only
make matters worse and that the law
would punish the negro in the proper
way if he is found guilty. When the
negro was being taken away on the
Frisco train a crowd of men and
women, about 300 in number, stopped
the train about mile from town and
demanded the negro, but the sheriff
had him locked in the toilet room and
succeeded in standing the mob off
while the train was being started
again.
Henry Little was last seen alive

Smith, 17-year-old negro. At noon

COMMISSIONER TAYLOR
MENTIONED
INSURANCE JOURNAL REPRINTS
PART OF SPEECH DEL..-
Erred RECENTLY
Tells Of Steps Necessary to Protection
For People and Honest Insurance
Companies.

The Insurance Journal, of Hartford
Conn.,, prints portion of the address
delivered by Insurance Commissioner
Taylor of North Dakota, and com.
mends the effort in its entirety. All
the other leading insurance publica.
tons had extended comment. The
Journal says:
The members Of the North Dakota

ton had the pleasure recently of lis.
tening to an address by Insurance
Commissioner Taylor on the valued
policy law, in which the arguments
both for and against such laws were
Interestingly set forth. Those that
heard the address were told that so
far as the county and state mutuals
were concerned the valued policy law
was obnoxious and without the
slightest merit" and in answering the
plea in favor of the law Commissioner
Taylor covered the question very we'll
and we will let a quotation speak for
itself here: But this matter has a
another aspect that is of greater mo-
ment than the equities in the case as
between the insurer and the insured.
1t goes to the question of public poll
cy and the common good. 1t must not
be made the vehicle to lawlessness
and a standing invitation to crime
and carelessness. The man who has
overvalued and overinsured his pro.
perty is in a fair way to secure that
to which he is not entitled, and is en-.
couraged to jeopardize the lives and
property of his neighbors. The state
might we'll be very reluctant to toll.
crate, let alone create such a condi.
ton as this. In the very nature of
the case it seems to me elemental
that every man should be required to
carry certain proportion of his own
insurance. What better or more nat
ural safeguard against incendiarism
and criminal carelessness could be de-
vised? To reduce fire waste to the
minimum rather than to make fnsur-
ance speculation is denomination
greatly to be desired"

IAN ORIENTAL CRUISER
Will Appear on the West Coast of Mexico to En- force the Demand---A Terrifying Official Re port of the Carnage.

Mexico City. June 9-Indemnity to the amount of 12.OOO.OOO pesos will be demanded of Mexico by the Chi nese government for the slaughter of Chinese subjects in Torreon. The l demand will be backed up by ! cruiser which is on the way to the Mexican west coast ports.
 Three investigators returned today from TorreOn and placed in the hands of Shung Hai Sun, of the Chinese legation, a detailed report, of the carnage This shows that 303 Chi nese were killed. many of them in a most inhuman manner, and that be- sides a bank and club house. fifty nine places of business were sacked.
 In addition to the indemnity an apology for the insult to the Chinese flag will be demanded; also that aid be extended to destitute families of the victims. that the guilty be pun ished and the constitutional guaran- tees of protection to Chinese lives and property be made effective. Of the 12,OOO. 900 pesos indemnity 2,000,- OOO is for property damage and the remainder for the loss of lives.
 Tn the detailed report the TorreOn massacre is laid at the door of both sides in the revolution. It says the federals gave no notice that they were going to evacuate the city after rhar the ruffians knew the soldiers had gone they began an anti-Chinese demonstration. killing many. Then the rebels entered the city and the carnage was given impetus.
 The report recited tale Ofter tale of barbarous slaughter; stories of how victims arms and legs were tied to horses and their bodies torn asunder: of heads cut off and savage ly rolled about the streets as the Mex jeans grinned in glee; of bodies cut into small bits and scattered about the streets. and of dead and half dead Chinese dragged about the town at the ends of ropes attached to horses Blood dripping through the floor in the Chinese bank was ter rible evidence of the murder of twenty-five men in the second story.
 The report says the slaughter was kept up until a party of business men headed by the American consul de- manded of the rebel leader that the massacre be stopped. It was stopped. but the 200 Orientals left were put in jail for safety There the prison guards took all their money and most of their clothes. the report says

Washington, D. C.. June 9.-Rep- resentative Warburton of Washington. the newly elected republican insur- gent, charged congress today with letting millions of dollars go to waste that 1t might collect internal revenue taxes on tobacco. He attacked the pending wool tariff revision offered by the democrats. saying their plea Of needing revenue was not d serious argument for keeping high duties on wooden goods
 The democrats, he said. had been compelled to adopt the republican doctrine of protection and excused themselves on the ground of needing revenue.
 And in the meantime" said War burton. the American people are pay ing six times as much tax to the government on sugar as they are on five-cent cigars"
 Representative Peters, of Massa- chusetts. democratic member of the ways and means committee. said wool and wooden goods would have been free but for the necessity of revenue The duties were placed as low as consistent with securing enough rev enue to run the government

AMERICAN WINNERS
 0F INTERNATIONAL POLO
They Clinched the Cup in a Close
 Game.

New York.Ju Q S.-America crushed England's hope of regaining the in ternational polo cup at Meadowbrook today. where the challenging British cavalry officers were outridden and out maneuvered and defeated 1-2 to 9 1-2 goals.
 Although the final score was closer than the first match, the English players were less off color, for only once they got on even terms. and that for about two minutes about the middle of the game. Today's American victory gives the Meadow brook team undisputed possession of the cup until another challenge is received.
 The American players seemed like a different team from that in the initial match. When 25,000 specta- tors saw the referee throw in the first ball. they were not surprised when Larry Waterbury nippeu the little white sphere from beneath the nose of Captain Cheape's horse and started for the English goal. Two minutes later his brother shot the first goal of the match.
 When the British defense stiffened for the protection of the goal 1t kept down the score and made the match not only close but full of brilliant runs and remarkable cscoveries at critical points.
 Penalties cut quite a Figure In the match. The Americans had goal and a half deducted from their scores and England suffered the loss of hat q goal. There will be an exhibition match between some of the English and American players at Meadow hrook tomorrow and after brief rect the Britishers will leave for home.
