with scales on my hands, arms and

scalp was covered with scales which
looked like dandruff but became worse
each day until at the end of another

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

the table of the consumer.
The present investigation is the
third OF its kind attempted by the

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

they are published.
Whether the data of this investi-

Congressional inquiry into the high

high price of foods, will not be de-

Coatesvilie, Pa.-Zachariah Wal
ker, a negro desperate, was carried
on a cot from the hospital here Sun
day night and burned to a crisp by
. frenzied mob of men and boys ON
q f1re which they ignited about q
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 posse
Sunday afternoon after a search
which had stirred the countryside.
When the posse finally located him
he was found hiding in cherry tree,
and with the last bullet in his re-
volyer shot himself in the mouth,
falling from the tree. He was re-
moved to the hospital and placed
under police guard,
A few minutes after o'clock, a
crowd numbering almost ! 900 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
1t on the shoulders of four men,
started for the country.
The negro was begging piteously
to be released, but his pleadings 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

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 up
and three times was thrust back UNI

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.
