Shawnee, OKla., Aug. 6.-Ed Berry, negro, charged with two cases of criminal 6 ssa ult and suspected in con- nection with ten others that have oc- cured here in the last three years. was taken from officers early today and hanged to a telephone pole at the scene of one of his alleged crimes.
 Berry was secretly brought here for trial from the penitentiary at Mc- Alester. When the train arrived and the deputy sheriff and his prisoner alighted, they were covered by re- volvers in the hands of a dozen masked men. The officer was dis | armed. Ten or twlve automobiles l filled with masked men then appeared and the negro was quickly to the Beard street bridge.
 When the rope was adjusted around Berry's reck, he was question about the crimes and asked if he were gull ty. In each instance he nodded his head affirmatively. In every case the negro's victim was white woman.
 Following the confession the negro was hanged in the presence of about 75 men, all masked, after which the crowd dispersed. u.u

LOOPING REPORTED IN
 ERIE FLOOD SECTION
Scribe" Shoots Alleged Rob- Der of House Abandoned
 By Occupants.

Erie, Pa, Aug 6.-TrOOperS of the State Consta bulary patroIied the flood section today and increased forces of workers, in their search for bodies, went further into the masses of wreck age piled along Mill Creek byTues- day nights flood.
 Sensational rumors of footing dur ing the night kept the police busy, and early today it became known that Guy Fowler, a reporter on the Erie Despatch, had shot man who was alleged to have been seen taking ar ticles from a house that had been abandoned by its occupants. The man was later taken to hospital. He had been shot in the shoulder but his con- uition was not dangerous. Other re- IOrts Of footing could not be verified. An order to the constabu1ary and the police was to suppress rlotlng with a stern hand.
 Efforts to relieve the distress con- tinued. A citizens committee has been formed to care for those in ac- tual want and more than 400 were fed in the rescue station on State Street during the night The armory housed many of the homeless and private houses cared for many others
 Additional offers of pecuniary as- sistance from outside sources came in, but the committee declined all of them, with the assurance that the city could take care of it's destitute.
 c. A. Emerson, Jr., acting chief en- gineer, and his assistants sent here by the state board of health, raced hard problem in their efforts 70 keep down disease. In addition to the bodies of human beings believed to be in the debris. it was thought that numbers of cattle, hogs and sheep had been caught in the flood, anc their decay ing bodies would soon become a menace. The ripping up of sewers and the destruction of the sanitary system throughout the damaged area caused the engineers to bend their first eff forts in that direction while inocula- tion against typhoid fever was car red on with the assistance or the city health authorities.
 Ten funerals were to ,ake place to- day, and several tomorrow. Six of the fifteen persons reported missing have been located and their names taken from Coroner Hanley's list.

SCOTT TO CONFER WITH
 MEXICAN LEADERS
Chief of Staff of U. s. Army Leaves Washington
 Tonight.

l. Washington, Aug. 6.-Major' Geen- l the United States army, accompanied 1 by Lieut.. Col. Robert E. L. Michie a member of tho general staff, will
 leave Washington at 6 D. m. today
 for Ell Paso, Tex. to confer with Gen. eral Francisco Villa and other revo-
 lutionary leaders there regarding the
 Mexican situation.
 The six LatinAm erican diplomats working with the American govern ment to bring peace to Mex ica had a series of conferences at the Argentine embassy today before they resumed their conference at the state department. They covered their deliberations with the same secrecy as was thrown about yesterdays meeting.
 Today's meeting was expected to de- velop 8 line of action which the Latin- 4 Americans will submit to their home governments, and, if they agree, all the nations of North and South America will be asked for their ap- proval .s-.
 General Carranza's refusal to meet the other factions in a peace confer ence was the first obstacle to be dis posed of
 Secretary Lansing conferred. with Bragadier General Scott, chief of staff of the army, and Assistant Secretary Preckinridge. Their meeting revived FL report that General Scott might be chosen to persuade Carranza of the necessity of yielding. Such a sugges- ton submitted to Secretary Lansing some time ago has not been, acted upon.
 The Latin American diplomats are understood to favor for president of Mexico some man who will represent the great majority of Mexicos inhabi- tants who are not fighting under any military leader. l
 Secretary Lansing said that there might be some public announcement tonight, dependent upon developments
 A long telegram from Jesus Acuna, minister of foreign affairs in the Car ranza cabinet, was forwarded to Sec retary Lansing today by Carranza's s Washington agents. It is said 5000 additional troops were ,encamped in strategic points about Mexico City. Yesterday" the telegram said, General Gonzales advanced the mer- chants a half million dollars to pay salaries and for other disbursements. ! All stores are now reopened and there is general lowering of prices.'
 1 It is considered likely that one of 1 the first results of the conference will l be a final appeal to all the Mexican factional leaders to accommodate their | differences and restore peace This l probably will be sent IT few days r The message to Carranza will ask 1 that he lay down his arms and join 1 with his adversaries in setting up a 1 government the United States will i recognize. It will insist that he ! answer within a stipulated time l The chara cter of the final plans for | restoration of peace depends largely | on Carranza's response
