MOB LYNCHES WHITE MAN
Father Of Mu!attoes Who Killed Off
GERS Strung Up to Water
Tank.

Dumas, Ark.-Forcing their way in
to the Desha county Jail here between
fifty and one hundred men, members
of mob formed so quietly that the
authorities had not the slightest
warning, overpowered the deputies in
charge and took Charles Malpass, Sr.,
white, to a water tank and hanged
him. The mob then dispersed with
out demonstration. None of it's mem
bers is known to the authorities, &C
cording to their statement.
The lynching followed pitched
battle at the home of Malpass, in
which Sheriff w. D. Preston, Of this
county, Deputy Sheri Barney Stiel
and two mulatto sons of Ma1pass
were killed and Malpass wounded
Malpass' injuries were at first believ
ed to be mortal, but when he was
brought here and placed in jail his
wounds were found not to be serious
The wife of Charles Malpass, Sr., a
negress, and Malpass' younger son.
young mulatto, escaped from the
house during the fighting. The au
thorities say they do not think the
negress and the boy engaged in the
battle, and, for this reason, it is not
thought the two will be sought fur
ther in connection with the affair
The sheriff's posse had gone to the
Malpass house to arrest the two mu
latto sons Of Malpass.
The authorities say the community
lived in state of almost constant
terror because of the Malpass fam
lily, against which prevailed intense
feeling.

FAMILY MURDERED BY GIRL
New Orleans Police Think They Have
Modern Lueseita Boruia.

New Orleans Police Think They Have
Modern LueEeita Borgia.
New Orleans.-In the arrest here
of Annie Crawford, an alleged drug
fiend, on the charge of poisoning her
younger sister, Elise, pretty stem
ographer, the police took their first
step in an avowed effort to reveal
the woman as modern Lucreita Bor-
gia. Miss Crawford admitted to the
district attorney that she did give
her sister, Elise, morphine, but did it
by mistake, as she intended to give
her calomel and soda; that she stole
the morphine from the Presbyterian
hospital, and after giving a portion to
her sister had about two dozen tab
lets left, which she threw away. She
said she was afraid to call in the doc.
tor after she had discovered her mis-.
take.
Three other members of the Craw-
ford family have died under mysteri-
Gus circumstances within the past fif
teen months and Annie Crawford is
said to have been the beneficiary
named in the insurance policies on
the life of each.

Rome.-Italy has declared war on
Turkey.
1t declared that the two countries
were in state of war beginning at
half after two o'clock on the after
noon of Friday, September 29.
This is the hour at which the Ital-
ian ultimatum to Turkey expired. It
followed a session of the cabinet, at
which the Turkish reply was consid-
cred and found unsatisfactory.
Though every indication pointed to
this action by the royal government,
there was always possibility that
the good Offices of other governments
would be successful in avoiding hos
tilities, and when the final decision
of the cabinet was announced, the
excitement throughout the city was
intense.
Constantinople.-Th Turkish war
ministry, according to the reports cur
rent here, has received dispatch
from the late Turkish military at
tache at Paris, who has assumed COM
mand of the forces at Tripoli, stat
ing that the Italians began to disem-
bark, but the Turks succeeded in
sinking the first two barges.
The Turkish cabinet has resigned,
Said Pasha assuming the office of
grand vizier, and Kismil Pasha that
of foreign minister. Mahmoud Shef-
ket Pasha continues as minister of
war.
Salonika, European Turkey-An
Italian cruiser has destroyed Turk
ish destroyer in the harbor of Prevo-
sa, in Epirus, and landed troops. The
Turkish authorities are sending a bat
talon of troops to Prevosa.
The Mathis Athens correspondent
says the telegraph official at Venitza,
Greece, wires to the government that
a naval battle occurred Off Prevosa.
Italian warships belonging to the
Ionian squadron encountered a fotilla
of Turkish destroyers cruising Off the
coast of Epirus.
The Italians promptly attacked the
| fotilla, and two Turkish ships were
badly damaged by shells. They have
gone ashore in the Gulf of Arta.
Athens, Greece.-The premier has
received a telegram from Venitza an
nouncing that Italian warships pur
sued and fired upon two Turkish
transports carrying tropos. The trans
ports went to shore near Prevosa.

LUMBER COMBINE
RULES 20 STATES
THE SENSATIONAL CHARGE MADE
IN SUIT FILED BY GOVERN
MENT AGAINST TRUST.
SOUTHERN FIRMS INVOLVED
Lumber Associations in Georgia, Ala
bama, Tennessee, Mississippi
and Louisiana Named.

Denver.-Sensation charges that
the so-called lumber trust completely
dominates the lumber trade of at
least twenty states by maintaining a
spy system, blacklsts, divisions Of
territory and other alleged illegal
methods conducted through a central
agency in Chicago, called the Lumber
Secretaries Bureau of Information,
are made in an antitrust suit filed in
the United States court here by the
department of justice.
This is the governments fourth
move in nationwide fight against
the lumber trust in addition to the
criminal indictments already standing
against the secretaries of fourteen
lumberman's associations. Antitrust
suits under the Sherman law are now
pending against the Michigan Retail
Eastern States Retail Lumber Deal
ers' Association.
The Secretaries Bureau and the
Colorado and Wyoming Lumber Deal
ers' association are defendants in the
| action filed. The government asks the
court to enjoin the bureau from con-
| tinuing espionage upon lumbermen by
| paid spies and circulating "blacklists"
| and other confidential information"
| The government charges that the
| operation of the alleged conspiracy
between the lumbermen and the secre-
taries' bureau has eliminated all COM
petition from the trade of the con-
sumer, except among retail yards.
| 1t is charged that a dealer is pre-
vented from soliciting or competing
for business in the territory of an
other, that contracting builders and
| ton have been watched by detectives
from buying at Wholesale; that lum-
Der dealers who have not obeyed the
"ethics'' prescribed by the organiza-
ton have bene watched by detectives
from the central bureau and their cir
regular sales published to other
J members of the association; that they
have been stblacklisted' and have
found it difficult to continue busi-
ness. The effect of all this, the gov
ernment alleges, has been to fix
prices and restrain trade.
The bill is replete with allegations
of threats and .intimidations said to
have been practiced upon manufac-
turers, wholesalers and so-called "un'
ethical"
The government alleges that each
OF the following lumber associations
in addition to the Colorado and Wyo
ming, are represented in the "clear
ing house"

Man has effectively solved the
problem of artificial heat and t Is
easy enough i'm steam heated
house. to keep warm and comfort
able during the very bitterest Janu-
airy weather, but man has not yet
adopted a universal method of keep
months- A few of us escape the heat
by retreating TO the distant noun
tains or to the sea shore, but by far
the most of us stay in town and
swelter
There is a way TO keep cool duf-
in the hot summer days.
First it ifs essential not TO worry
about the heat. not to be always
thinking about how hot 1T is. The
next thing to do is to take things
easy, do not work too hard. walk
too fast or play too vigorously.
The problem of keeping the home
cool la summer should be no more
difficult than keeping it warm dur
ing the winter The way TO keep the
house cool is to keep the heat out.
Excess light always means eXces-
siye heat Wherever the sun is al
lowed to beat into curtainless rooms
they are sure to be hot Keep the
windows curtained and suffered
and put up awnings, if possible
/ Awnings allow enough light to en-
/ ter for all practical purposes and at
/ the same time keep out the excess
I light and accompanying heat. The
house should have plenty of air
Keep the windows up and the doors
open, after seeing they are properly
screened. Of course.
The secret Of bodily GOODNESS is
wonderful what a degree Of heat the
human body can stand without SER
rious discomfort There have been
men advertised as human salaman-
ders who had developed this power
to a point where they were able TO
stay in hot ovens for considerable
period The body maintains auto
matically an even temperature OF
about 9S degrees. Whenever the
heat is in excess of this figure the
pores of the body open and emit a
tiny bit of moisture The eyapora-
ton OF this moisture carries heat
away from the body and keeps it
cool Persons that sweat easily and
freely seldom suffer much from
summer heat This excessive mois-
ture keeps their bodies cool and
comfortable.
Acknowledging that the eyapora-

LOS ANGELES. Oct. 27-Certain
that the action of the federal author
tiles in indianapolis in starting a fed
eral grand jury investigation into the
dynamite plot alleged to have been
participated In by John and James
Mcnamara, Is only the beginning of
sensational attempt to bring the en-
tire indianapolis developments and
evidence here for use against James
B. Mcnamara, Attorney Darrow and
his associates are today preparing to
circumvent the plan.
Following the refusal of the Indi-
ana authorities to part with the al.
legged evidence. Oscar Lawler and his
assistants we're commissioned by
the prosecuting attorney to develop
some methods whereby dynamite, the
books of the Structural Iron Workers
Union, John j McNamara's private

interest the federal government and
this has been done.
When court convened today Judge

members of the new venire of forty
men.
