Penalty at Mob's Hands.

AMERICUs, Ga, October "a negro
named Marlborough, who attacked a
twelve-year-old white girl, daughter of a
prominent family here, was taken from
officers late today, strung up by rope
to bridge near Oglethorpe and his
body riddled with bullets.
Screams of the girl brought people to
her assistance. The negro ran to the Sea-
board tracks and hid under a bridge.
There he was captured by police and
lodged in the county Jail.
A crowd of citizens soon gathered about
the jail. Sheriff Fuller, fearing that the
Jail would be stormed, took the prisoner
out by rear door. He placed him in an
automobile and started for Macon. Citi-
zens observed the. move and q dozen au-
tomobiles followed. The sheriff was over

STRIKE SYMPATHlzERS
MENACE THE TRA|NMEN
Lives in Peril on Line oil
Georgia Raaway-Appeal
to Governor.

AUGUSTA, Ca, October 5-Repeated
acts of violence, in which the lives of
the Georgia railroad employees were
placed in jeopardy. late today resulted in
orders being issued to the members of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
not to operate any trains on that road
until adequate" protection is furnished.
The order was issued by Fred A. Burgess,
a assistant grand chief of the brotherhood,
after an exchange of notes with General
Manager T. K. Scott Of the Georgia road.
Later he modified the order. permitting
any engineer to go out at his own risk.
Appeal Made for Protection.
The situation today became so criti-
cal that Mr.. Scott telegraphed Gov.
Brown, urging him to instruct the
sheriffs and mayors along the line to
use extra diligence and see that order
is maintained. The governor replied
that as there was no demand for mar
tial law, he had no authority to take
the initiative in such matter.
The afternoon passengerstrains start
ing from both Augusta and Atlanta, it
is stated, will be taken to their destf-
nations, but it is expected that no
more trains will be started for the
present.
Further efforts at mediation were made
today by United States Labor Commits
sioner Charles p. Neill, but without re-
suit
Cause of Strife.
The principal trouble today developed
at Union Point, where several trainmen
on passenger trains were badly beaten
by strike sympathizers. Freight trains
started from Atlanta and Augusta were
run onto sidings. switches locked and
trainmen driven of. Sheriff Hixon of
Greene county has declined, it is said, to
go to Union Point and protect railroad
property at the request Of General Man.

VOICE DESIRE OF PEOPLE

PUBLIC UTILITIES DISCUSSED

of OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
for Cleaner City Advocated.
Public Parks Demanded.

Citizens associations throughout the
District of Columbia are resuming activ-
1ty in the work of civic Improvement.
Interviews with presidents of influential
associations indicate that the programs
for the fall and winter season contem-
plate efforts at bettering and beautifying
which will surpass all previous records.
Realizing the value of well organized
and efficient citizens associations to the
District Commissioners and members of
the committees of the House and Senate.
in an advisory capacity, every effort will
be made to place before those who have
to do with the governing of the District
true statements of the conditions and
needs in the various localities The as
sociations will work together in urging
on Congress the need for legislation Of
vital Importance to the citizens of WASH
ington. They will call the attention of
the members of both houses to the fact
that at the last session bills which meant
much to the District were not passed,
and will urge consideration of those meas
ures at the coming session.
There are many important questions of
general interest to be considered by the
citizens associations during the next
few months. Among them is the pro-
posed public utilities merger. suffrage in
the District of Columbia, the election or
a delegate to represent the District in
Congress, the excise bill and the ques-
tion of property assessments. Many of
the associations, in addition to working
for the betterment of their respective
territories, will consider these genera
questions of interest. Other associations
will devote their entire time to the well
fare of their respective neighborhOods
and will not take an active part in ques-
tons of wider scope.
What is perhaps of greatest interest is

Aim Of the Federation.


1.-THE Federation of Citizens Associa.
tions has worked very faithfully and hard
for the last two years for a public utili.
ties commission. The matter reached
President Taft twice through the fedora
ton, with favorable recommenda tfons
from the President to Congress. The SEN
ate has passed the Gallinger bill-a full
fair and satisfactory measure-and the
federation will push for passage in tn.
House at the coming session this BIZ,
with all the energy and power possible to
enlist. No merger or combination of pub
lie utilities in the District should be pos
sible except through the medium Of a
public utilities commission, where every
right and interest Of the people and OF
the corporations could be safeguarded.
Collateral to the public utilities COM
mission question is the matter Of univer-
sal transfers and half fare for schoo
children. The federation stands back OF
the so-called Gallinger universal transfer
bill as 1t passed the Senate. AT the in
stance of the federation the bill for the
half fare for school children was intro
duced and has the favorable recommends
ton of the House District committee
Both these matters will be strongly
urged.
"A radical change is demanded in the
method and manner Of extending streets
No more unjust and inequitable system
as the present condemnation act could
be devised. A vicious VOCATION of the
organic act, the taxation burden that
should be borne by all placed upon the
few, class legislation of an extreme type
violative of common sense and common
justice. The federation will demand a
change. Washington is greatly under
