Mitchell, Jr., grand chancellor for
Virginia. Mr.. Mitchell and his
delegation appeared here, but were
denied admission, their case being
referred to the committee on Gre
dentials.
The Virginia delegation, it is
said, rendered $500 as full pay
ment for all taxes due, but this
was refused, as the Supreme Lodge
officials claimed that $4,000 was
due.
Mitchell filed notice with Su-
preme Chancellor Green Saturday
afternoon that writ restraining
the Supreme Lodge from continu-
ing the suspension and dissolving
his jurisdiction would be filed in
the United States Court at Rich
moud on September 25.

mond, Va, was chosen Grand Sec

OFFER FOR LyNCHERS

Charlotte, n. c., Sept. 2-The
Charlotte authorities are so incen-
sed over the lynching of Joe Nc
Neely, who was shot TO death by a
mob last week, that $4,000 in re-
ward has been offered for the ar
rest aud conviction of the lynch
rrs. Thirty-fve white ruffians are
said to have participated in the
lynchlng bee, and a reward of
81 900 each has been offered.
North Carolina to-day hangs her
head in shame because of the
lynching of McNeely. 1t has been
eight years since such crime was
committed in this State, and the
Negro and white citizens have
pointed to the good feeling
existing between the two races.
McNeely was lynched for shoot
ing Police Officer Wilson. Nc
Neely was said to have been in
toxicated and was on the street
discharging revolver. Police
Officer Wilson, who was riding on
a motorcycle, was shot by McNeely
who was in turn shot by the police
officer. Both we're taken to the
hospital Tue mob took the intox-
icated man from the hospital and
lynched him.
The leading papers of the State
speak cut against the dastardly
work of the lynchers. The Green's
bolo Daily News comments as fol-
lows:
North Carolina vas beginning
to establish a creditable record as
to lynchings, and that of Mecklen-
burg County was unsullied. The
Charlotte Observer, voicing COM
munity pride in this, the other day
felt justified in the prediction that
there rever would be a lynching
in Mecklenburg. Now that conf
munity shelters mol OF the
blood thirsty. Mecklenburg has
been shamed and has shamed
North Carolina.
While that deed was being CON-
mitted many leople i'll North Car
olina were reading the charge of
Judge in a capital case in sister
State. He defined murder. Muir
der is the unlawful killing of
human being, in the peace of
State, by ii person of sound men,
ory and destruction, with malice
aforethought expressed or i'm
piled. Malice he defined as that
deliberate inten ton unlawfully TO
take away the life of IL fellow crea-
ture, which is manifested by eXter-
nal circumstances, capable of proof.
"You cannot explain IA lynching
to Christian civilIzation-to ell
tighten humanily-except in the
immediate vicinity. You cannot
explain "a lynching to enlightened
conscience. Lynchers defy clvlli- |
zation. They strike at that where
on its whole fabric is dependent.
Their example tends TO anarchy"

P~lTTSBURGERS HAPPY
Ore Rate Decision Has Big Affect on
Steel District.

Pittsburg blast furnace men are glad
over the interstate commerce commits
sion decision regarding freight rates
on iron ore from the lake ports to
Pittsburg andson coke in the Connells-
Vile region to points east and west,
in which the existing charges were
reduced to such an extent that Pitts
burg has at once taken a forward
step in The iron and steel world.
The decisions were on the COM
plant Of President Rowe of the Pitts
burg Steel company that freight rates
on IRON ore to the district should not
be higher than to the Wheeling (W,
Va district. rats complaint was APP
proved. The Wheeling rate has been
sixty cents a ton and to the Pitts
burg district it has been ninety-six
cents a ton, thus a saving of thirty-six
cents a ton on iron ore results.
In addition TO local interests the
producers in the ~Shenango and Ma
honing valleys benefit by the coke
rate order, which is about a II per
cent reduction.

Six American Soldiers Are Killed In
Battle in Philippines.
With an American loss of six killed
and twelve wounded Brigadier General
John J.. Pershing, commander of the
department of Mindanao, Philippine
Islands, captured the entertainments
of the rebellious Moros under the com
mand of the Sultan of Jolo. The fight
ing was fierce and the resistance of
the natives who were cornered was
desperate.
In the last few minutes of the en-
gagement the MorOs threw them
selves upon the bayonets of the
Americans soldiers. The victory was
complete. All the entertainments of
the Moros were taken with the excep-
ton of a small stronghold further up
In the mountains,
With the vantage that General
Pershing has obtained, however, 1t
will be an easy matter to storm that
little fort. Its capture will be effected
in a day unless the Moros surrender.

Dun's Review Reports That Retail
Trade Is Well Sustained.
Dun's Review of Trade says this
week:
while reports regarding retail
trade conditions indicate that activity

rather cautious, The European politi-
cal situation improved somewhat dur
ing the week and was reelected in a

"The government report of crop con
ditions, although showing a decline
in winter wheat, indicates that the
yield will be next to the largest on
record and points to a season of pros
perity throughout the vast region
where that cereal Is the dominant
factor. While untitled iron and steel
