NEGRO LYNCHED---SH0T
TO DEATH ON THE STAGE
Mob Tied Murderer Near Footlights
and Shot Him-MarshaI Had
Hid Slayer.

Calhoun, Ky.-The little opera
house at Livermore, eight miles from
here. never witnessed such a melo-
drama as was staged when Will Pot
ter, negro, was dragged before the
footlights and his body riddled with
bullets from the guns Of an audience
of half hundred determined
avengers. OF about 200 shots fired,
nearly half entered the body Of the
black man and the remainder tore to
shreds the woodland scenery arrang-
ed for the resentation of a much mild
er drama.
While the mob was doing its work
in the playhouse, Frank Mitchell,
white twenty-five years old, lay dy-
ing at the home of his father from a
bullet wound in his chest inflicted by
the negro, the shot piercing one Of
his lungs.
The drama that had such an ending
started with an argument in a pool
room between Mitchell, who is the
and prominent citizen of the little
town, and the negro Potter, who shot
Mitchell in the back.
The negro was seized by City Mar
shall Stabler and taken TO the town
lookup.
When announcement was made
that Mitchell's wound was fatal a
mob gathered to lynch him. There
upon the Marshal swore in a half doz-
en- deputies and removed the prisoner
TO the opera house, the lookup being
a fimsy structure.
The Marshal hid his prisoner under
the stage and then prepared to hold
the place until the arrival of the
Sheriff and his deputies. Before the
door could be barred. however, the
mob arrived, and after firing a vol
ley through the door forced its way
in and overpowered the defenders.
The negro was dragged onto the
stage. After a short consultation the
lights were switched on and he was
tied near the footlights.
At a given signal the mob in the
orchestra pit and boxes began firing,
and within a minute the negro was
dead
After the shooting the mob filed
into the street and quietly dispersed.
When the Sheriff arrived from Cal
houn no one was in sight.

DAME NATURE HINTS
When the Food Is Not Suited.

When Nature gives her signal that.
something is wrong 1t is generally
with the food; the old Dame is always
faithful and one should act at once.
To put off the change is to risk that
which may be irreparable. An Ari-
zona man says:
For years l could not safely eat
any breakfast. l tried all kinds Of
breakfast foods. but they were all
soft, starchy messes, which gave me
distressing headaches. drank strong
coffee, too, which appeared to benefit
me at the time, but added to the head
aches afterwards. Toast and coffee
were no better, for | found the toast
very consupating.
"A friend persuaded me TO quit cof-
fee and the starchy breakfast foods.
and use Postum and Grape-Nuts In
stead. shall never regret taking his
advice.
The change they have worked In
me is wonderful. now have no more
of the distressing sensations in my
stomach after eating. and never have
any headaches. l have gained IL
pounds in weight and feel better in
every way. Grape-Nuts make a de-
licious as well as a nutritious dish,
and I find that Postum is easily d.
gested and never produces dyspepsia
symptoms"

THE CONFLICT OF CLOCKS.
n 4.
oLN EYvILLE,

1t evokes feeling of sympathy and
approval to learn that a movement is
on foot in London for "the synchroni-
cation of public clocks" Theoretical
ly clocks set up for the information OF
the people, particularly those which
bear the alluring legend "Synchron
ized Time" should agree TO the min
ute. He who would quarrel over a
second or two variation would be
hypercritical, but a disagreement of
minutes weakens faith and may cause
the missing OF trains. Yet In London
the Investigations OF a special commit
tee of the British Science Guild re.
vealed a lamentable inveracity on the
the part OF one or the other OF the
clocks, says the Plttsburg Dispatch
A week OF observation along a GER
tain line OF streets revealed a mean
error OF two minutes, the maximum
of course, much greater. In another
week one clock was three minutes
slow on two days, another four min
utes fast on one, three minutes slow
on two days, and so on through minor
divagations. This is quite minor from
observations right at home. We might
deem it excusable for the individual
ist clocks in jewelers. or bank win
dows to declare their independence OF
the time edicts OF an overshadowing
corporation; but certainly the big cor
poration should bring its timepieces
under the law OF uniformity.

PARIS, Sept. 23.-The latest reply of the French government to the Ger man note in the Moroccan affair. which was approved by President Fal- Heres today, was sent to Berlin to- night by a special messenger. A semi-official communication issued this afternoon said that the reply showed some slight divergence from the text of the German note. but it was added:
 The changes were inspired by the general views as was explained at the last conversation between Herr yon kiderlein-Waechter and NJ. Cambon."
 The communication continues: Tt is said that France insists that the relations between the Moroccan for eign board and the powers be carried on through the intermediary of the French minister to Morocco. In the matter of consular courts and foreign proieges. France, in order to remove the abuses complained of, desires that all the powers agree to a revision of the Madrid convention until French jurisdiction has been completely res established in Morocco.

Defense Claims it's Time is Be- ing Frittered Away in

PROSECUTION WILL OPPOSE

Los ANGELES. Sept. 2S.--Attorney Darrow announced that he would probably move for a continuance of two weeks in the beginning of the McNamara trial, set for october II. He will make the motion on Monday when the hearing of Attorney liar. rington will be resumed. Darrow said the continuance is necessary because the prosecution had harrassed the de- fense by the contempt proceedings against Mrs. McManigal, George Behm. McManigal's uncle, and Attor- ney Harrington, and had taken time that otherwise would be given to the preparation of the McNamara case. Assistant District Attorney Ford said the prosecution would vigorously op- pose a continuance.
 Another angle of the case developed when the widow and mother of A. Churchill Haryey-Elder. assistant city editor of the Times. brought suit against the newspaper for $50, ,OO0 damages. Harvey Elder jumped from a window of the Times building at the time of the explosion He was injured in striking the pavement and died a few hours later. The plaintiffs ac- tion is based on the theory that gas caused the explosion.

JONATHAN B. BREAKS OUT
 IN STATEMENT
The Oregon Senator Feels Called upon to Reply 10 Mr. Taft'S Peoria
 Speech
SPECIAL REFERENCE
 TO THE ARIZONA RECALL
He Also ReSentS the State ment that President is Any Kind of Progress
 SiVe at All

ATLANTIC CITY. Sept 23.-United States Senator Jonathan Bourne of Oregon gave out a statement here to- day which takes issue with the state ment given by President Taft at Pe- oria yesterday
 The senator said: 'HTo use one of his own favorite expressions, Presi- dent Taft was disingenious in his speech at Peoria yesterday, when he made a statement as to his opinion of the people in defending his atti- tude toward the Arizona election. He says that he has confidence in the second sober thought of the people. yet he vetoed a statehood resolution which proposed to submit to the peo- pie of Arizona for the second time the question of a constitutional provision for the recall of the judiciary, as well as other officials.
 Here was a plain proposal to sub- init it to the sober second thought of the people, but the president was not willing, and insisted that the recall of judges be eliminated regardless of the most mature consideration. regret to believe his statement that he put his heart into the veto of the recall provision of the Arizona constitution, for the veto message contains two di- rect misrepresentations of the provis- ions of the Arizona recall, and an- other that is false of necessity by i'm plication. I had entertained charit- able view that his errors were of the mind and not of the heart.
 ''The president was again disingen- uons when he said that many meas ures advocated by the progressives are state and not national questions. insist that the initiative and refer endum, the direct primary, the cor rupt practices act and the recall are more than state questions"
 Senator Bourne, after saying that Taft did not trust the people, said "Taft's declaration that he is keeping in the middle of the road on progress siye issues is also disingenUous. There can be no middle course on the question of the adoption of the funda- mentals of popular government. Who is not for popular government is against it." --tr.
