AF TER LYNCHERS.
6rdnd Jury Begins Probe
at West Chester.
% WITNESSES TO Be HEARD.
Arrests Are Expected to Follow Report
of Investigation to the Court, and
Many Are Apprehensive Over
Result of Jury Findings.

West Chester, Pa, Sept. g. The
grand jury of Chester county has be.
gun its formal probe into the lynching
at Coatesville of Zack Walker, who
vas burned to death by mob Oh
Aug. 13 for the killing of Edward Rice.
a special policeman.
The inquiry began behind closed
doors, and it is the apparent intention
of the district attorney, Robert S.
Gawthrop, to keep the findings of the
body a secret until its report is made
to the court
The attorney general, John G. Bell,
and Assistant Attorney General Jesse
b. Cunningham were present at the
opening of the session, acting for the
state. The only others present, besides
the grand jury of twenty-five, were
the district attorney and the court
stenographer.
In the meantime, twenty-nine resi-
dents of Parkesburg and Coatesville
who had been summoned to appear,
grand jury room and spoke in whis.
pers of the probe. The general feeling
was that arrests would be made fol
lowing the session. The trepidation of
witnesses was visible.
A rumor was circulated among the
Witnesses that one arrest would sure
ly be made in the person of Richard
Tucker, at one time an orderly at the
Coatesville hospital and a representa-
tive of life insurance company
Tucker himself was evidently under
the strain of suspense, for he fastened
to correct misstatement made at the
time of the lynching, that he was once
a member of the police force. He also
declared to the group surrounding him
that he was a peaceable citizen and
had always tried his hardest to obey
the law.
Il never was member of the
Coatesville police force" he said, "but
was a member of the fire police.
whose duty is to keep back the crowd
at fires. / am a member of the
Brandywine Fire company"
District Attorney Gawthrop refused
to divulge the method of examining
the witnesses before the grand jury.
81 can only add to my previous
statements that the officials of Chester
county are doing everything in theil
power to bring the guilty ones to
Justice" he declared. "We will moi
divulge the outcome of the probe un
til it has gone through regular cour
channels. l cannot tell anything a
present. l don't know whether ther,
will be any more arrests or not. J,
there are, we will give it out when W.
are ready to. That's ALL"
The attorney general, Mr.. Bell, de
clared that both he and Mr.. Cunning
ham, as representatives of the state
were there to see that justice wa
meted out as it should be and that tn,
inquiry would be carried out through
every phase of the question. He salt
that the state purposed to see that tn
laws were obeyed and that the inquir.
would not take on any half hearted
system, but would get to the yer.
depths of the matter

Just Discovered.
Washington, Sept. ga brand new
salamander, new at least to students,
though perhaps centuries old, has
been discovered in Costa Rica, accord

Smithsonian institution.
This specimen is little more than
two and half inches long, has a
smooth brown skin somewhat striped,
wide fat head and long cylindrical
tail.
Two ancient schools of naturalists
disputed in vain whether the salaman-
der was fireproof until Pliny the elder
in the first century of the Christian
era put salamander in the fire.

Miners. merchants and professional people, working girls and students. in fact all classes are patrons of the government banks Inspired by the fact that the United States treasury stands back pf each and every one of these little nsti- tutions, many people who heretofore would not trust a bank with their say ings. are now seeking out the postal institutions
 The simple system of the government bank appeals to the lower working class who have learned that it does not require a thorough education to become a depositor in a bank.
