The Administration is anxious to
be relieved of the work of caring
for Americans in Europe in order
to be able to turn its full attention
to more pressing problems that will
face the United States in its COM
mercial and other functions.
II is hoped by the Administration
that Americans in Palestine. Ar
menia and other places not yet in
the war zone. will arrange promptly
to get home. 1t is expected that if
Turkey enters the war she will CEN
sor the cables and cut lines of COM
munication, causing great anxiety
for Americans who may remain
within her borders.
Secretary Bryan said to-day that
all the Ambassadors and Ministers
who have not yet been instructed
will be told to charter all ships that
may be necessary to take Americans
to safety. The needs of Americans
in Turkey will be looked after by
the North Carolina. Ambassador to
Turkey Morgenthau is reported to
have already raised relief fund of
$4,000, but he will be given ad-
ditional funds from the South Car

Fierce Fight To Pro-
teCt Prisoner.
PRISONER IL LIKELY TO DIE

Paris, Ky, Aug. 29.--About 2
o'clock this morning a negro named
Henry Johnson. whose home is said
to be in Tennessee, entered the res
idence of Henry N. Meade. who is
an engineer on the +. n c. Railroad,
and who lives on South Main street.
Mr.. Meade was awakened and crap
pied with the negro. Selling him by
the throat. The negro struck Meade
on the head with a Ratchet, but the
plucky engineer never let go the ne
gro's throat, and after desperate
struggle choked him into insensibil-
ity, and grabbing the Ratchet the ne
gro had dropped, SPLIT his skull with
it, The police We're summoned and
Officers Judy and King went to
Meade's residence and took the ne
gro to the county Jail.
About an hour later mob Of
about twenty-five to forty men ap-
peared at the jail. One of them was
dressed in a Knight of Pythias uni
form to make him appear like an Of
ficer, and one had his face blacked
like a negro. These two went TO ths
door of the Jail residence and rang
the bell, Jailer Joe A. Faris went
to the door and seeing a man i'm I'M
form and a negro. and thinking an
officer was bringing a negro TO jail,
he opened the door No sooner was
ed in. seized the jailer and demand
ed the keys TO the jail. He refused
to turn over the keys and was
roughly handled 10y the mob, the
members of which We're armed with
pistols. Faris was much bruised
about the body, and when the leader
presented a pistol at his face Faris
grabbed it and the hammer descend
ing caught Faris' right hand be-
tween the thumb and index finger
and ruptured blood vessel, from
which he bled profusely.
Meantime Mrs. Faris, hearing the
noise. ran downstairs with pistol,
which she succeeded in placing in
the hands OF her husband. who had
momentarily freed himself from his
assailants, He backed several steps
up the stairway when the leader of
the mob snapped his pistol at him
several times. and Faris fred at him.
Immediately there was a break for
the door and the mob disappeared.
Officers King and Judy arrived at
the Jail few minutes later and
found the dead body of man on the
bridge over Stoner creek, a few feet
from the Jail. The body was strip
ped and proved TO be that of Eugene
Huston, foreman of switching
crew in the yards of the l.. a n.
Railroad. He is supposed to be the
pythias uniform. All of the mob
We're masked and none was recog-
nized.
Jailer Faris is in bed suffering
from the nervous shock OF the en-
counter and the rough handling he
received.
The entire community commends
him for defending his prisoner and
doing his duty as an officer, but de-
plores the circumstances which COM
PEELED him to take life in discharge
u his duty.
The negro is lying in the jail IN
conscious and il is thought he can
not recover
