Chief Bodeker attributes the carnage
of blood which occurred Sunday to the
intense heat of that day.
1T is an almost invariable rule, "
stated the chief, that on the hottest
days occur the homicides among ne
groes. No doubt there is psyche
logical reason.
when the blood of the man who
Is nearer the primeval state becomes
overheated he is often crazed. Then
he quarrels. and stabs and shoots. and
goes abroad In yillainy.
For example. take the case of the
negro who was killed by an officer.
AS a result of most trivial quarrel
he plunged his knife into the body of
a friend. He refused to be arrested
and when cornered turned his knife

RAILROADS ASK
WELL LOADED CARS

The demand for commodities produced
in the south, consisting principally of pig
iron. cast iron pipe. coal and lumber and
many other commodities produced in
smaller quantities, while not extremely
heavy has been steady, reducing the sur
plus equipment of the railroads very ma
terially as compared with a year ago.
On account of this demand and in antici-
patton of the large crops to be marketed
throughout the western and southern
states, the railroads are urging co-opera-
ton on the part of shippers to the end
of releasing all equipment as rapidly as
possible and loading equipment to its full
carrying capacity.
