ILLINOIS MILITIA CALLED
 TO PREVENT LYNCHING
TWO IN JAIL AT SALEM CHARGED WITH ASSAULTING l4-YEAR-
 OLD GIRL.
Mob Raids "Red Light District and Destroys Liquor Found in
 Blind Tigers.

Salem, H., March. ll.-Three com panies of the Illinois National Guard are tonight stationed at the jail here in which Thomas Fullen and Ernest Harrison are held on charge of as- saulting Dorothy Holt, II years old daughter of Judge c. II Holt. A mob of 200 men surged about the jail mak- ing threats of lynching. Sheriff Vur- sells, fearing that the situation would pass beyond his control appealed to Governor Dunne, for aid. Troops from Olney, Altamont and Effingham were rushed to the scene. The sheriff now feels confident that there will be no trouble, although hundreds of men are entering the city from the surround ing country.
 Fullen has made statement saying that Harrison urged him to commit the crime to satisfy a srudge against Judge Holt for the latter's persistent inquiry into murder case in which Harrison is said to be involved
 The Rev. C. E. Peterson, of the Methodist church, tonight led mob which raided the Red Light District and destroyed all liquor found in blind tigers.

LIQUOR LAWS WILL
 BE TESTED IN COURT

Little Rock, March 14.-Sentiment is now much in favor of Arkansas be- ing dry after December 31, through the passage of the Senate bill placing on the friends of liquor the burden of petition but on one expects Arkan- sas to be dry when that time rolls around. It is learned that the best lawyers in Little Rock are now work ing upon possible flaws in the act and that a test case will soon be filed in the federal court 1t is probable that an application will be filed in a town of a wet county, where there is no licensed saloon, and after the county judge has refused the license, to take the matter into the United States court This is the last hope of the liquor men, and they will fight it to finish, for otherwise they will be out of business for two years at least.

COURT DECISION
 FAV0RS OLDHAM President Pro Tenn Futrell Has Power to Call Spe-
 cial Election.
TRUCE Is NOW ON
Supreme Court Will Render Decision On Natter Soon Roth Sides Ire
 Resting Pending Hearing.

Little Rock, March Thoueh Circuit Judge Guy Fulk rendered a decision Friday afternoon fayorng iV. K. Oldham of I.onoke as Arkan- sas' most legitimate governor, the attorneys representing T. M Futrell president pro tenn of the Senate de- clare the chances are still in favor of their client. and that he will be seat = ed.
 While the attorney for President pro tenn Futrell will not venture an opinion because of their agreement to let matters stand pending a Supreme Court decision, no one will deny there will be special election to elect a governor. The constitution places this authority upon the President ot the Senate. and no one questions the right of Senator Futrell to this posi- ton. He was elected by a majority vote, and as President it is up to him to call the special election. Those who look in on the turbulent political scene do not doubt for an instant that the freckled- faced. auburn haired son of Greene county will fail to do his duty in this line, for he has been more intent on getting real gov ernor' in the chair than he has of serving hinlself.s@t

the inner table This supposed line of fracture did not even fracture the thin portion of the parietal bone where it articulated with the temporal bone and was thinner than tiaC parts sup posed to have been fractured. To be more certain we took a terphine and bored hole through the skull in a direct line with the supposed fracture and examined the button together with the two tables of the skull which evidenced that there vas no fracture a tall. If this had been a fracture, the edges of the line of same would be sharp As it is they :.Ic beveled in ward. We found that this line eN- tended to the left side as well as on tn eright. So far as this is concerned we noticed other peculiarities about the skull which vii be gladly shown to any one who desires 10 see.

Manning case made the followins
 statements:
 "At the present time | have no
 seen the skull oi George Derrick sine, It Was boiled out and do not know
 whether it shows q fracture. Yet sey- eral physicians were of the opinion that il had been fractu"ed before it underwent this process. But that matters not. am still ol the opinion tkat Eugene Manning killed all three ot the parties foand in the ditch whether they show any mark of yio- ience or not. beGausa ttiree persons, could not relate the same story without having knowledge of the death of the parties
 T have been working all night on this case. Eugene Manning told us some time ago that he ha0 d cousin by the name of Sim Manning working at the new compress and several days ago i talked with the manager or tine-keeper over the ,iaone and he Sata that he was not cE the payroll | learned tonight that he lived near the new compress and wort to his home and had a talk with ham. Eugene Manning told us that iie used to live al CarOla but We thought this was in Louisiana but learned h, talking with Sim Manning that it was in Ghicot county. He also verified the state ment as given us by Eugene that he formerly lived in Louisiana. have al- so talked with Ivy Blown tonight, the crippled woman, W&o was living with Eugene Manning d. the time of the assassination of Fred Sommers. And l am also going to ,alk with an other negro woman who is supposed to know about the murder. have also talked with Manning tonight eWithout beating him up) in the pres ence Of prominent clt;.ens. one of whom was Mir. E l.. SmUh. who works at the Cotton Belt shops and is a brotherin-law of Robert Luttrell and he is thoroughly con yinced that we have made no mistake.
 T have also been in correspondence with officials in Mississippi con. tinued Mir. Brewster" and have infor- nation that convinces me beyond doubt of Manning's suit. I will await further developments before making any further statement and will continue to make investigations and be ready to report fly findings to the grand jury when l. convenes in May.
 Tn the meantime. if tue grand jury does not see proper to indict Man. ming. am satisfied that 1 can show evidence that he is very harmful and is wanted elsewhere.

REDUCE TARIFF
 ON WOOD PULP Will Mean Great Reduction in Price of Print
 Paper.
SHOES MAY GUST LESS
Naye and Means tonmittee VIII Take Iarilf Ufi oi Bouis and
 Shoes,

Washington March fg The tariff duties on boots shoes and wood pulp used i'll the making of print paper are to be reduced under the new tariff law as prepared by the ways and means committee.
 Free boots and shoes were decided on by the committee as a direct ef- fort to break the eontrel of the al legsd shoe machinery trust which the supreme court has held was legal iln-z der the patient laws. Free wood pulp is given to meet the needs of the pub fishers who must turn tG Canada or to Norway or Sweden 70 secure their supply of print paper 70 escape the eXactionS of the paper trust.
 Representatives of both the paper trust have been working in Washing [ ton for more than a month to prevent the placing of wood pulp and boots and shoes on the free i st. The wood ! pulp men use the argument that the defeat of reciprocity with Canada was because of opposition to the free trad l ing of wood pulp and print paper The vote of the ways and means commit l tee for free wood pulp IS considered by some members of congress as an- other move to reopen tie subject of general reciprocity wirh Canada.
 Representative of the New England 1 Boots and Shoes manufacturers con- tend that free boots and shoes will not result in lowering 3f the prices to the consumer and will necessitate a | lowering in the wage scale of workers in the factories because of competi- ton with foreign manufac cturers. They point to the results following the re- ! moval of all duties on hides. Since ! that law was passed undressed leath CT has advanced 30 per cent, showing ! control of this branch of the leather industry by the leather lust.
