1.-THE White SGuaW."

All of Natures children love ro-
nance; they want to have their hearts
touched until tears we'll up in the
eyes to prove that the feat has been
accomplished and then they welcome
the laughter that chases away these
"dewdrops of the soul" This is about
the briefest possible description of
The White SQuaw," the romantic
American drama to be presented at
the Gennett on Saturday, matinee and
night. 1t is a play that deals gracefully
and dramatically with love, with the
elements of human interest and with
comedy that scores because it is
bright and wholesome

FEWER LYnCH|NGS
IN PRESENT YEAR
Fifty-two Is the Record for
the Year 1ol2-FeW in the
Southern States.
National News Association)

CHICAGO, Ill, Dec. 27.-Only ffty-
two lynchings, known TO be such be
yond doubt, occurred in the United
States in the year now closing In pre-
Vious years the number has been
much larger 100 having been record
ed in 1894 and ITO in the year follow
ing. The past ten years the number
has been steadily decreasing. Only one
year, however, produced fewer lynch
ings than 1912. In 1907 the record
shows 81 lynchings, one less than this
year.
In some of the Southern States
there were fewer lynchings in 1912
than in almost any previous year.
The decrease is attributed largely to
the efforts made by governors and
prominent citizens to prevent mob VIC
1ence. Many of the governors have
acted promptly and theoretically to
prevent lynchings, with the declared
policy of giving the law free Opportu-
nifty for the punishment of all alleged
offenders, white or black.
Again, as in the record of former
years, more lynchings occurred in
Georgia than in any other State. Lou
isiana and Florida comes next in the
list South Carolina whose governor
has gone on record as unopposed to
lynchings in certain cases, had six
cases of summary execution this year
as against only one in the year 1911.
Kentucky, with eight lynchings in
1911, had a clean slate this year. Okla
homa is another state with a clean rec
ord for the past twelve months. The
figures for Texas, Tennessee, Florida
and Arkansas show fewer lynchings
than in 1911. In Mississippi, Alabama
and Louisiana the number slightly eN-
ceeded that of last year
The States outside of the South
where lynchings occurred in 1912 were
West Virginia, Wyoming, Montana,
North Dakota and California. BY
States the record is as follows: Geor
gia, IA; Louisiana, s; South Carolina,
6; Florida, 5; Alabama 4; Arkansas,
3; Texas, 3 Mississippi, 3; Tennessee,
I; Wyoming, 1; West Virginia, 1;
Montana. /; California, /, and North
Dakota, l.
In the fifty-two lynchings the vic
tins of all but two were negroes.
Three negresses were included in the
list Alleged crimes against women or
girls and the murder of white ersons
account for practically all of the cas-
es.
A singular feature is found in the
1ynching of the two white men, both
of which occurred in the far north In
each case the victim was accused of
murder. In the town of Joppa, a short
distance from Rosebud, Mont, Harry
Heffner. alleged slayer of Mrs. William
Merrill was taken from the county
Jail by crowd of masked men and
hanged, despite the efforts of the sher-
if and his deputy. The second lynching
occurred at Steele. n D., where Geo.
Baker, charged with the murder Of his
wife and fatherin-law. was taken from
the Jail and hanged by mob. The
lyrching was the first recorded in
North Dakota in more than a decade
The lynching in Wyoming was one
of the most sensational of the year
