Chicago, Feb 24-It is not an easy
task to prevent strike of $4,000 who
are bent on striking-especiall work
ers of the Russian revolutionary type.
Yet if the right man arrives, with a
definite plan and the determination
and ability to put it through, the task
is not impossible. w. o. Thompson,
of Chicago, has such plan, and af-
ter nine weeks of tireless working,
he has put it through. He has set in
place the last cog in the new machin-
cry of the "Protocol of Peace" in
the cloak trade, by the Introduction
of Mr.. J. e. Williams of Illinois, as
Tndependent Chairman on the Com
mittee of Immediate Action which
is to bring quick adjustment of griev-
ances in the trade. A month ago ev-
EN- the most optimistic friends of the
protocol (Which has prevented gar
ment trade strikes for the last three
years. had about given up hope that
it could be saved But Mr.. Thompson
came to the rescue. When asked why
he bothered Mr.. Thompson said: ooh,
| just butted in. 1t affects our Chica-
60 protocol-it affects the entire ma
tonal clothing industry"

RESISTED ARREST.

Leland, Miss, Feb. 24.-Sam Petty,
the negro who shot and killed Depu-
tv Sheriff Charles kirkland here
early today, while resisting arrest,
was lynched this evening, his body
being riddled with bullets and later

a mob of enraged citizens who cap

The negro wanted for trivial Of
Tense, was arrested by Kirkland.
Breaking away from his captor, the
negro fled to the outskirts Of the
town. where he lived in small cab
in. Not knowing the negro was
armed, the officer knocked at the
door and on being refused entrance,
started to go in when the black
emerged with double barrel shot
gun leveled at the officers head. Be-
fore Kirkland could draw his own
weapon, Petty fired both barrels, The
officer dropped dead, with a great
gaping wound in his CHEST just over
the heart. Irate citizens soon captur-
ed the negro. Soon a mob OF 3VU
men had assembled from all parts n
the county. ~. sS
A debate was held as to what
geance was to be melted out 70 the
negro.
It was finally decided to burn tAe
offender. He was accordingly D0uno
and placed in dry goods box. Tne
inside was packed with inflammaDies.
Coal oil was poured in the box ana
applied. The negro's letters burned
and he leaped from the box screaming
with agony. Instantly half hundred
pistols spoke and the Negroes BODY
| was soon in it's death throes on the
ground.
The lody was then taken and plAc-
ed in the box and again the torch was
applied. In less than half an hour
the body was reduced to ashes.
The burning took place In thu
heart of the town, within hall
block of the depot
The mob's vengeance assuaged, !
dispersed and everything seems qut
ct now. No arrests are known =

Mr.. F. E. Cherot, who was for five

and who until recently had been
general auditor for several steam
railroads, has received the appoint
ment of Examiner of Accounts in the
new department of valuation of rail
roads, by the Interstate Commerce

heard their voices, At that time they
did not know what was in store for
them.
The four gunner will be electrocut-
ed within seven weeks unless Gov.
Glynn grants the plea for executive
clemency which is now their only
hope. They will be taken from the
death house some time next week and
arraigned before the court of appeals
at Albany. There the sentence of
death will once more be pronounced.
1t is the invariable custom of that
court to fix the date of execution dur
ing the sixth week following the final
arraignment. The only appeal from
this sentence is to the governor.
Those who know Gov. Glynn's atti-
tude on the subject of executive elem
ency, say there is little likelihood
that he will stay the sentence Of exc
cution. His rule has been in these
matters that no pardon will be grant
ed or sentence committed unless re-
commended by both the district attor-
ney and trial judge. 1t was rumor-
ed today that the gunner would make
a plea to District AttorrNy Whitman
and offer their testimony against Beck
err at a new trial if he would secure
a Communication of life for them.

Chihuhua, Feb. 24.-Gen. Villa has

ment to the International News Ser
vice:
Representations hava been made
to me by the American Concul at this
city, to the effect that I must at
once give orders that William S. Ben

Shout at News.
CANNOT CONVICT.

New York, Feb. 24.-The conviction
OF Charles A. Becker was set aside
by the court of appeals in Albany to-
DAY. The judges of the highest court
voted six to one to grant a new trial
to the former police lieutenant SEN
fenced to death for conspiring in the
death of Herman Rosenthal, the gam
bier.
The four gunner must pay the
death penalty. Their conviction was
unanimously sustained.
Becker will be brought from the
death house at Sing Sing where he
has been one year and four months,
to the Tombs. His attorneys and
Mrs. Becker are trying to arrange to
have him make the trip Thursday.
Though Becker will be remanded
by the Court of Appeals to await the
trial, it is doubtful if the murder
charge against him will ever be
brought to trial again.
His attorneys say that besides criti-
Ching the conduct Of Justice Golf and
District Attorney Whitman, the court
OF Appeals makes impossible re-tri-
al by declaring that Becker cannot be
legally convicted on the evidence in
the possession of the district attor-
ney.
Judge Werner in his dissenting
opinion plainly indicated that the
majority opinion frees Becker so far
as the murder charge is concerned.
He said:
through the form Of ordering a new
trial when it is certain that this will
be purely a formal ceremony.
The gunner, "Gyp, the Blood"
Lefty Louie" Whitley" Lewis and
"Dago" Frank, will be arraigned be-
fore the court Of appeals at Albany
within week and again sentenced to
death.
In accordance with the custom Of
that court they will be executed dur
ing the sixth week following the ar
raignment, unless Governor Glynn in
terenes.
Becker Is Jubilant.
New York, Feb. 24.-"That's GER
tainly glad news. / knew I would
get a square deal in the end
These were the words that former
Lieut.. Becker uttered when he heard
the decision of the court of appesls
from John Day Molloy, confidential
clerk to Warden Clancy, in Sing Sing
today. The four gunner took the de-
cision as though it was victory OF
their own. They did not know that
their doom had been sealed by the
same Judges that gave Becker another
chance for his life. Their jubilan'
wells echoed and re-echoed through
+ the corridors and every prisoner
throughout that portion of the prisor

Here.

FROM WASHINGTON.

H. G. Spaulding, secretary of the
Chamber of Commerce, returned yes
terday afternoon from a fortnight's
trip to the east where he attended the
meeting of the Chamber of Commerce
of the United States and afterward
visited towns and attended some
meetings in that section. Mr.. Spauld-
ing was two days late in arriving
home because of the storms. Monday
the Illinois Central train from Chica-
go to St. Louis on which he was a
passenger was stuck in a snowdrift
at Divernon, small station about
twenty miles from Springfield, ILL.,,
for twelve hours. Before relief trains
arrived the SNOW had drifted up to
the car windows and everything edi-
BILE in the buffet car had been con-
sumed, it not being customary to
serve much On the train which is
scheduled to arrive in st. Louis at
7:45 a. m. The cars were comforta-
BILE and no one suffered greatly
though on some of the other roads
all suffered more or less and in some
cases they were taken from the trains
to farm houses. None Of the roads
seemed to be prepared for such
weather and made hard work of fight
ing the snow, though it was not one
quarter as deepas in places in New
York and New England early last
week.
Ask About State.
Everywhere I WENT" said Mr..
Spaulding, "the liveliest sort of inter-
est was shown in Arkansas and l was
besieged by both individuals and
newspapers with questions about the
country and it's climate and other ad-
vantages, and returning here on a
bright sunshiny day am not surpris-
ed that the matter of climate is inter-
| esting a great many people in the
north at this time. Bankers wanted
| to know about the opportunities for
loaning savings accounts, on farm
| property or otherwise. Investors
| wanted to know about the value OF
productive land. Homeseekers want
ed facts about schools, living condi-
tons, homes and opportunities to gel
start. Industrial interests were
particularly interested in raw materi-
ais, labor conditions and the markets
| l believe the country l visited is typi'
cal of the whole country today ant
that the next IS months will see more
actual settlers coming into Arkansas
than any ten year period has prev
iously recorded.

THE CARNEGIE SUGGESTIONS.

When it comes to the surrender of
the town control of schools to the State
we apprehend the Carnegie Foundation
will find itself facing the same consider
atoms that have prevailed in connection
with the insistence of towns upon their
right to representation in the Legisla-
ture, and the towns are in the majority.
Under the New England town meet
ing system of government, our schools
flourshed. Now that not few towns
are controlled by men without children
to educate or fereign-born families
having little interest in education, it is
easy to see how State control might
improve educational conditions in these
communities. Whether State control
can be gained, however, is another and
very practical question.
Bearing in mind the relation of
Vermont's common school problem in
this report to the proposition that
we are to direct our attention especially
to agriculture; that we are to have
better supervision through a State
school superintendent and school board,
the latter serving without compen-
saton, and all elected free from
political influences and higher edu-
cation affiliations and that the actual
lIlSlIuCllOn Is W NC lyplllCu ny
22-year-old young woman paid at the
rate of SO. so per week." what is the
result?
1t means that we are to have women
teachers in our rural schools who can
instruct our children in domestic science
and sociology and farming and govern
ment as we'll as in mathematics and
reading and spelling and writing and so
on, while in industrial centers the
teachers must be prepared to add
various kinds of vocational training,
and all this is to be accomplished by
simply taking the few thousands of
dollars appropriated for higher educa-
ton and devoting it to the common
schools.
Is it reasonable to presume that
women teachers can readily be produced
who can do all this and for the small
sum named?
We have State board of education
and State superintendent, with powers
somewhat similar to those advocated in
the report for a State commission and
board. The members of our present
State board are appointed by the
Governor and they in turn now elect the
State superintendent. How these men
can be further removed from politics
the report does not inform us. If there
is way certainly Vermont wants to
adopt it. Burlington Free Press.
