Early Horne of Dickens.

Johnston street, Somers Town where
the London county council have de-
cided to erect a memorial tablet to
Charles Dickens, was associated with
what was practically the first ray of
sunshine that broke through the cloud.
ed sky of the novelist's childhood. It
was in 1926, when Dickens was thir-
teen, that sudden improvement in
his fathers finances enabled the fam
lily to leave the Marshalsea prison and
take a house in Johnston street.
For Charles, who had boarded out
during his fathers detention in the
debtors prison, this meant the re-
sumption Of home life. 1t meant also
relief from the slavery in the black
ing factory, for his father was now
able to send him to fairly good
school in the neighborhood of their
new abode. The Dickenses remained
in Johnston street for four years and
descriptions of the locality occur, it
will be remembered, in Nicholas

u. S. SUIT HITS
AT LUMBER TRUST
Attorney General Charges 1t With Con.
spiracy-He Demands an In
junction.

New York.-The first suit In a
series OF similar actions intended to
break up the organizations of retailers
throughout the United States which
keep up the price of commodities to
the consumers was begun here, when
sweeping charges were brought
against the so-called lumber trust in
an action filed by Attorney General
WIckersham, under the Sherman anti
trust law. The allegations include
conspiracy to maintain high prices; to
force all ultimate consumers to buy
from retailers, and to blacklist whole
salers who sell to others than mem
bers of the retail organizations In the
various states and cities.
One of the organizations with which
retailers and wholesalers are in touch
to prevent selling direct to the con-
sumner, according to the bill, is the
National Lumber Manufacturers as
ISOLATION. The president of this as
ISOLATION is Edward Hines, the Chi
cago lumberman who, according to the
testimony of Clarence D. Funk, gener-
al manager of the international Har-
vester company, made the famous dec
laration: We'll, we put Lorimer over
down at Springfield, but 1t cost about
$4,000 to do 1t"
Mr.. Hines also is president of the
National Wholesale Lumber Dealers
association, which is said to be the
real connecting link between the COM
b1nes in various sections of the coun-
try.
Ten trade organizations and more
than $50 individuals are named as de-
PENDANTS. They are alleged to have
consplred among themselves and with
the assistance of the National Whole
sale Lumber Dealers association to
prevent wholesalers from selling d.
rectly or indirectly to consumers.

PEOPLE TO SELECT SENATORS.
Wisconsin Legislature Adopts Bill Civ
inc Voters Voice in Election.

Madison, Wis.-The Wisconsin as
sembly concurred in the Husting
bill requiring candidates for the
legislature to declare before the
election whether they will support
their party nominee for United States
senator.
This bill passed the senate some
days ago. Under this act and the ex-
listing law providing for the nomina-
ton of candidates for United States
senator at primary elections the peo-
pie of Wisconsin will have the power
practically to elect federal senators.
A member of the legislature may
repudiate his pledge to support his
party nominee for senator, but it is
not considered likely. Progressive
Republicans of Wisconsin have long
favored the direct election of United
States senators, and they believe it
can virtually be accomplished under
the Husting act.

MOB SHOOTS SIX BLACKS.
Gets Victims Out of Jail by Bogus
Telegram.

Lake City, FLA dozen men,
claiming to be officers, presented
a bogus telegram to the young son of
the county sheriff at the Jail here,
which purported to be an order for
the release of six negroes confined
therein to the alleged officers and
upon gaining possession of the pris-
oners the posse took them out and
lynched them.
The negroes were being held here
on the charge of numbering B. b.
Smith, a sawmill man of Wadesbor-
ough, Lee county, and wounding an
other man named Register, on May IL.
The men, who had come from ITALIA
hassee In automobiles, took the ne
City. They compelled the negroes to
stand abreast and began firing with
rifles and pistols until every one of
the six had been riddled with bullets.
The firing lasted about half an hour
and few struggling citizens at day
break found the negroes dead, just
after the automobiles left the scene
of the lynching.
The sheriff was out of the city and
left the jail in charge of the boy, who
allowed the negroes to be taken from
the jail without knowing the sinister
purpose of the mob
The telegram which the leader Of
the mob showed the boy was sup
posedly from the sheriff of Leon coun-
ty and stated that he had received In
timations that mob was forming in
Tallahassee to take the negroes from
the Lake City Jail. The message or
dered that the men be carried further
south to Illustrate the suspected mob.
The crime for which the negroes
were held created strong feeling in
Leon county, as the men murdered
were prominent, and as a general race
war was intimated at the preliminary
hearing given the prisoners. 1t was
proved the negroes had established a
veritable arsenal and were prepared
for trouble.

FRENCH MINISTER MSS -
OF WAR is KILLED
Unmanaa eabIe Airship Piunges Into
Big Crowd-Premier Monis
Badly Hurt.

Paris-Henri Maurice Berteaux,
Antoine E. Monis, premier of France
and minister of the interior, and his
son, Antoine, Jr., were severely in
jured, and Henri de la Mourthe, an
aged aerOnautic expert, and several
others painfully hurt when a mono
plane, driven by Aviator Train. be.
came unmanageable and plunged into
a crowd of spectators at Issy Les
Molineaux.
The accident occurred at the start
of what may still be the most ambi-
tious aviation event Europe has ever
known-a race from Paris to Madrid
The distance is 900 miles, divided
into three stages, each aeroplane to
carry driver and one passenger.
So great was the interest in this
event that the premier, the members
of his cabinet and 10000 spectators
were gathered at Issy, which field
bears the same relation to Paris that
Belmont park bears to New York.
To prevent the spectators from
crowding around the hangers and
upon the starting green, troops OF
cavalry were stationed about the
field
Train had made one circle and al
though still quite close to the ground
appeared to be in complete control
AS he swung around the second time
a troop of cavalry moving across the
field appeared directly in his path.
Train moved his planes desperately
hoping in the strong winds to rise
sufficiently to sail over the soldiers and
their mounts. He succeeded in rising
but lost control of his machine, which
swung in the direction of a group con
tanning the most distinguished specta
tors on the field, and then crashed
heavily upon them.
Premier Monis, his son Antoine, Jr
Minister Berteaux, Henri de la
Mourthe, the latter famous throughout
France as an expert on aeronautics
were scattered right and left as
though they were ten-pins struck by q
ball. Berteaux, struck by the whirl
ing propeller, was dead when taken
from the ground The injuries tC
Monis were at first believed to be ia
tai, but the doctors state that he viii
probably survive.
Strange as it may appear, Train and
his passenger escaped practically I'M
hurt, although their machine was
smashed to spiinters.
Maurice Berteaux, the dead minis
ter of war, was one Of the most bril-
liant men in France. He was So
cialist Before entering Premier
Monis' cabinet he made great for
tune as a stock broker. Indeed sc
fascinated was he with business that
he continued to hold his seat in the
Bourse after his election to the cham
Der of deputies and even after he was
chosen to the cabinet.

PASSING OF THE BIG GAME
The United States Has Been Wantonfy
Extravagant in Its Waste
full Destruction.

The story of the game hog" is too
familiar to dwell upon. We ali remem-
Der with disgust photographs publish
ed in sporting journals and newspa-
pers of long rows of deer hung up
after days slaughter These we're
not generally sportsmen, and they
took no steps to interfere with or pre-
vent the wanton destruction until
sportsmen's clubs organized and
forced the issue, but this was very
late in our history-almost too late to
save the animals
Almighty God gave us a country
Astounding in vast natural resources,
and we have not only given ourselves
over to extravaganza, but Wasteful-
ness We have not confined our ex-
penditures to our income, but have
been lavishly drawing upon the prin-
cipal of our inheritance, never halt
ing In our wild career 70 think that
the end of it must at some time be
reached
For example, one Of the noblest OF
our big game animals, the wapiti, OF
American elk, which formerly ranged
throughout our northern states and
Canada, is now practically extinct east
of the Mississippi, saving perhaps a
few stragglers which still inhabit
northern Michigan. Our eastern
mountain regions such, for instance,
as the Adirondacks, the Green noun
tains, and the ranges of Pennsylvania,
should form ample cover for them and
would support them today had proper
means been taken in time for their
protection. Some sixty years ago the
last of the wapiti in the east was
killed in Pennsylvania.-Dillo Wal
