Second Attempt to Lynch
Walter Bellew
Jail Doors Battered in, Win
doWS Broken

Hiawatha, Kan, May 22.-The Sec
ond attempt by band of men from
Falls City, Neb., to lynch Walter Bel
lew, a negro jailed here, charged with
an attack upon Mrs. Keller Of Falls
City, last Sunday night, was frustrat-
ed early today by Sheriff Moore and
Deputy Barlow, who repuised the
desperate attack upon the Jail, in the
course of which the door was battered
down with a log. The window panes
were broken and the walls SCARED by
the fusillade Of bullets.
Five motor cars, bearing over q
score of armed Falls City men, reach
ed the Jail early. The sound of gum
shots and the patter Of bullets was the
first signal Of the attack. Barlow,
whose residence is in the jail building.
had stationed deputies inside the build
ing in anticipation of trouble.
Four of the mob burst open the door
with heavy log, but in the corridor
were confronted by Barlow, who at the
point Of a revolver, forced them from
the building. Arguments of the citi-
zens and the determined stand Of the
officers finally induced the departure
of the mob, who returned to Falls City
after being assured that Bellew would
be returned to Nebraska as soon as
legal fornaalities are met.

NO VIOLATION.

Washington, May 22.-The basis of
the state departments contention that
the California alien land act does not
in it's terms violate the treaty Of 1911,
was the careful scrutiny Of all the
lawyers of the cabinet, on the Ian
guaee of the law and the treaty.
Save upon the single point that In
depriving the Japanese in California
of the right Of inheritance to real es-
tate they concluded there was no
round for complaint.
Toxic, May 22.-The reply of the
United States government to the Jap
anese protest regarding the California
alien land law, in saying it does not
involve any violation Of the treaty be-
tween the United States and Japan
and other circles.
The Japanese foreign office consid-
ers it unsatisfactory as it does not
mention the intention on the part of
the government at Washington to take
official steps to nu1lify the act.
The foreign minister is urging upon
Viscount Chinda, the Japanese ambas-,
sador at Washington, the necessity of
pressing the Japanese Interpretation
of the American Japanese treaty.

PENNILESS
THOUGH He
WAS RICH
E. H. RendelI for Years lgnor-
ant Of Fortune
Lived and Died in Poverty
Though Had Riches
Had Been Harness Maker IN
Fargo for 80 Years

Ignorant of the fact that for the
last eight or ten years he had been
heir to a large estate in Norway, Ed.
H. Rendell, a harnessmaker of Fargo.
lived and died in abject poverty and
was buried from the county hospital
yesterday morning.
The deceased came into his fortune
in Norway almost a decade ago and
repeated efforts have been made in
that time to locate him. Each time, it
is said. the endeavorS of the Christi
ania bankers failed and the property
has increased in value.
In the interim Mr.. Rendell continued
his simple life in Fargo as an obscure
harnessmaker. He has been resident
of this city for the last thirty years
and had a few acduaintances among
some of the old timers.
Through the officials Of the First
National bank. another attempt was
made to locate the deceased day be-
fore yesterday. Bankers at Mayville
had received a request from the Nor
wegian bankers to make a thorough
search for him and it was rumored he
was living in Fargo.
Word reached the Mayville bankers
that the deceased was i'll in one of the
Fargo hospitals and it was thought
possible he might be the party. In
quiry at all of the hospitals by Cash
Ter Nesbit resulted in the knowledge
that Rendell had that morning passed
away at the county hospital.
Immediately he communicated with
the Mayville bankers asking if he
should hold the body for burial. A re-
ply is now awaited from Mayville.
If the story is true about Mr.. Rem
dells property in Norway which he
was left some years ago, he was en-
tirely ignorant Of the fact and never
enjoyed it's benefits: 80 The deceased
died without family or any close
friends to succeed him, and, not know
ing he possessed such property, he left
no provision for it's disposition among
those whom he! might like to have,
seen provided for comfortably.

Washington, May g2!lASenators
j. r. Thornton and j. e, Ransdell
of Louisiana have run OUT on the
national democratic Yadministra-
ction so far as free Sugar is con-.
cerned. They will not Vote for that
part of. the tariff bill sent by Os-
car W. Underwood, leader of the
house of representatives. They will
not stand for free sugar as advo-
Gated by President Wilson and
adopted by the house.
But few expected they would do
anything else. The last Underwood
bill. which came up in the last ses-
sion of congress, was opposed by
them, so far as the sugar schedule
was concerned. RanSdell, as a.
member of the. house, and Thorn
tona. ia the senate, voted against
free sugar then. Nevertheless,
President Wilson has such a
strong hold ON the senate, that few
members Of it and few political
observers in Washington believe
that free sugar will fail. Already
there have been indications that
Senator Miles Poindexter of
Washington, the only third party
man in the upper chamber-haV-
ing put himself down in the Con-
