ANOTHER "PIcNIC" - NEGRO
PUBLICLY HANGED


Murphysboro, ILL.,, Oct. 16.-Jack-
son county made a holiday occasion
of the execution today of Joe Deber-
ny, negro, %, who was shot through
gauows trap to his death in the pub
lie square before an audience of 5000
men, women and children. The hang
ing took place at o'clock, despite
the plea of the Anti Capital Punish
meht Society of America that if De-
berry be hanged at all it should oc-
cur in the jail.
Two thousand of the spectators
were invited as deputies by the sher-
iff and occupied the stockade enclo-
sure about the gallows. The others
crowded nearby eninences and build
ings three or four hours before the
time set.
The hanging was a success" in
every detail, the authorities an
nounced.
The negro pulled rapidly at 10
cent cigar as he walked to the gal
lows and continued to blow puffs of
smoke as the shackles were adjust
ed at his knees, ankles and wrists.
1t was only when the black cap was
adjusted over the negro's head that
Sheriff White jerked the cigar from
Deberry's mouth and tossed it behind
him into the crowd. Deberry's last
request, that he be allowed the lux
ury of "10-center" on the scaffold,
had been complied with.
Fully 5000 persons who had
walked and driven to Murphysboro
in automobiles and horse-drawn
vehicles during early morning hours
packed the streets about the scene
and were openly disappointed at be-
ing forced to forego witnessing the
hanging. By o'clock vehicles of all
descriptions literally jammed this lit
tie towns streets. It was even diff
ficuIt to get about on foot.

COMMISSIONERS SUE CIVIL
SERVICE NEWS FOR LIBEL

Civil service commissioners want
to get rich quick. Yesterday Atty
Lederer filed three $500 libel suits
in the circuit court for Edward Ra-
cey, Joseph Geary and Percy Coffin,
the three members of the commission,
against the Civil Service News.
They allege that their characters
have been greatly damaged by the
articles printed by the news concern
ing their actions in Office, which were
declared to be "a disgrace to the
city"
"The stories my paper has pub
lished regarding the actions of the
commission / consider a good piece
of reporting which tells the truth"
Editor Fleming told Day Book re-
porter. eff the commissioners think
that by starting libel suit they can
scare us into silence or prevent us
from continuing exposes and criti-
cisms on the evasions and violations
of the civil service laws they have
another guess coming"

right, but, without science, religion
wouldn't be worth a bean. Believ-

great war now going on with such re-

Our greatest benefactors never as

Our magnificent churches and 9TH

depend on Gods help alone. The
most religious say that God helps
those who help themselves, and they
help themselves good and plenty.
