Colored Policemen Are

The wisdom of employing, as
a part of the regular force OF

to look after work requiring

lowing the murder of Mrs

And by the same token is
shown the folly attending the
dismissal of Policemen Taylor

work. When the Smith case
came up it was found necessary

A Birmingham, Ala, paper
was quick to call the attention
of the world to the lynching of
an Italian in this state not
many days ago and to attempt
to show that the South was
unjustly criticised for its being
considered the mob ridden sec
ton. The lynching at Johnson
City does not appease the south
or it should not expiate that
section or any other section.
Why did not the Alabama pa
per condemn mob law? There
is where the south always
weakens. They are quick to
speak OF the things which "ag-
gravate" and cause the mob,
but there is no excuse for mob
law in a civilized country.

one did and we all agree that
it is deplorable crime. We
have no sympathy for whoever
the man is that did it. We are

folly, of sensationalizing every

assailant until he fled bowling with
pain.
On accosting her he caught her by the
throat and attempted to throw her to

and fought him off He returned to his
attack, and she pulled his hair, kicked
punched and scratched him, and was get
ting the better of the encounter, when
he shook himself free and drew the re-
volver.
He thrust the weapon between her
eyes, as she stood exhausted from her
exertion and threatened her but like
flash she lodged out OF its range and
brought the hatpin into play. The fell

Thaw Is Not Allowed to Re-

ii JUSTICE PAGE
Acquitted on the Conspiracy
Charge, He Must Stay
in New York

New York, March l6.--Harry X. Thaw
will not be sent back to New Hampshire
by New York as his counsel demanded
but he must be returned to Matteawan
asylum unless legal papers calling for
his detention in New York county are
served upon the warden of the Tombs
prison. Such was Supreme Court JUS
tice Pages decision to-day.
In the meantime counsel for Thaw. as
it in anticipation OF such decision, had
obtained from Supreme Court Justice
Blur writ of habeas corpus which
will keep Thaw in the Tombs until Fri
day when he must be produced in
court.
1t was a close call for Thaw as plans
had been considered for the state for
returning him Immediately to his long
time residence at Matteawan. Attend
ants from the hospital were in court
ready to rush him there by automobile
but were prevented by the writ served
half an hour before on Warden Hanley
of the Tombs prison.
Inc next step in the litigation to keep
Thaw out of Matteawan will be taken
Friday before Justice Blur, when it is
expected an effort will be made to have
the question Of his sanity decided by
jury. Failing to obtain Thaw's release.
this means there is strong probability
that the case will again go to the fed
cral courts. n

of her seven.year.old daughter, Olga,
from the home of her husband, John
Ellis, at Toxic, Japan, was related in a

yesterday.
Mrs. Ellis told Of voyage half way

two years ago, after the courts had
awarded custody to Mrs. Ellis.

She said she would remain in Japan
until the courts there sustained the de-
cree of those of Massachusetts, and gave
her her child.
After Ellis enticed his daughter away
two years ago, Mrs Ellis made world
wide search for the child. BY means Of
motion pictures, she located her husband
and daughter at Toxic, where Ellis was
teaching school. He was arrested on a

of Mrs. Ellis to an insane asy-
lum three years ago, but was subsequent

The Bombardment of Darda-

Dispatches from Italy make it appear
that that nation is approaching u decl-

the war. Following the reports OF par
tial suppression by Italy of mails to
Austria and conference of Emperor
Francis Joseph and his minister of war
concerning the defense of the Austio-
Italian frontier, comes the despatch from
Rome quoting a newspaper there to the
effect that the Italian fleet is being con-
centrated at Tarento, Italy's nearest
point to the Dardanelles.
SO far as reported officially, the bonn
bardment of the Dardanelles by the al
lies has produced no further important
results Unofficial advices from Athens
say that on Sunday the attacking war
ships sienced several Turkish field bat
teries which had been posted above Kun
Kale and the entrance to the straits.

producing Only iHSlgHlHCdHt ICsuito' Inc
Germans have moved up heavy artillery
in an attempt to break through the Rus
sion fortified lines in northern Poland in
