MOVING TROOPS
 WILL TEST ABILITY
3O,O0O Men Under Orders to Start for Border or Leave It Furnish
 Railroad Problem

Washington, Aug. 31.-With more than 30,000 troops under orders to move either to or from the border, military necessity aspects of the inn pending strike give promise today of furnishing a test of the governments S ability to move troops in emergency
 Last night 1000 National Guards men were ordered back to their state mobilization camps. Previously some 12,000 guardsmen in mobilization camps were ordered to the border. The war department indicates that still other guard regiments soon will be sent south.
 Another order has directed the re- turn of more than 5000 coast artil- 1ery troops to their stations on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts.
 Some regiments of the guard or dered south are already enroute and others will get started this week. The troop trains in both directions undoubtedly will be on the way next Monday when the strike is expected to begin.

POLICE RECORD MAY
 COST APPOINTMENT
Joseph H. Feingold, 97 Per Cent. Has Been Twice
 Convicted of Crime.

Final returns from the civil service ! commission show that of the nine who 1 took examinations, six passed and of l these Joseph Feingold of 480 Main l street ranked the highest with an average of 97 per cent. It was stated
 on good authority today, however, that any move to appoint MT. Fein- gold to the supernumerary police de- pertinent will meet with strenuous op-
 position from certain city officials be- cause of the police record of the young man.
 ,, MT. Feingold's age is given as 22 years and II months Police depart
 ment records show that on October 12, 1911, he was arrested on charge of burglary but because of his youth the charge was changed to simple theft
 and he was fined s5 and costs and
 given four months probation in which
 to pay up. Again on August IT, 1913, not long before he attained his ma-
 jority, he was arrested on a charge
 of theft from the lockers at the Y.
 M. c. A. He was convicted and fined
 $55 and costs, amounting to $63.38, state the police records
 Today considerable criticism was
 heard about appointing to the police
 department a man whose bad record is as recent as MT. Feingold's. Legal
 advice sought to solve the question showed that while there is no law that prevents man convicted in court from becoming policeman there are other legal ways by which such a man could be kept from appointment. In the first place, to be eligible a man must be an elector and a man con- victed of crime is legally disenfran- chised by statute. Tn the case of a minor convicted of crime the statute provides that if such conviction was within one year of his tWenty-first birthday he would not be eligible to be made @ voter and if by chance, through error or design, he did be- come voter the registrar is empow-
 cred, through proper action, to strike his name from the lists. A penalty Is also provided for cases where a per- son not eligible through crime does become a voter.
 Thus, if MT. Feingold's last offense in 1913 came within a year of his
 twenty-first birthday, and unofficial
 records indicate that 1t did, he Is not
 legally a voter. Hence he would not
 be eligible for appointment. Before llHdl dppoluIlueIlIS dIe llldue, HoWeVeT, much more will likely be heard about this case which bids fair to esta blish @ precedent.
 Others who passed the civil service, with their averages, are as follow: De1bert Veley, 2S Prospect street, 21 years and three months, 90 per cent; Ernest B. House, 491 Church street, 29 years, 8s per cent; Peter c. Cabe1us 83O Church street, A years and one month, 8S per cent; Felix Faltin, 151 Wilcox street, 24 years l and seven months, 86 per cent; David 1 M. Doty, 250 North street, 23 years nine months, 84 per cont.

Officer Forced to Tell Where aboutS Of Negro to Save Own Life
PRISONER ATTACKED WOMAN
Citizens of Lima, Ohio, Take Custo- dian of Jail With Them to Ottawa
 Where He Managed to Escape With Two Broken Ribs and Bruises,

Lima, O., Aug. 31.-After a night of violence resulting from the at tempt of a mob to lynch Charles Daniels, a negro, accused of assault ing Mrs. John Baber wife of a promi- nent farmer, the spiriting away of the ture of the sheriff until he consented to lead the mob in motors to Ottawa, where he had taken the man, the law apparently reigned again today. Dan iels, the prisoner, whose life was saved by the quick action of the sher- if, is in a safe place-Toledo it is understood-and J. P. Laser, prose- cutor of Allen county, is taking the preliminary steps of investigation into the affair.
 Governor Willis after night spent in his office at Columbus with Adjutant General B. w. Hough, was prepared today to order the First and Seventh regiments of the Ohio Ma tional Guard from Camp Perry to this city in case the troble is revived.
 Mob Is Dispersed.
 After ahe unsuccessful pursuit of Daniels in a motor procession to Ot- tawa last night, members of the mob had dispersed it is believed, since the procession as unit has not returned to this city.
 Sheriff Eley escaped from the mob at Ottawa and is under the care of a physician. He Is suffering, it Is understood from two broken ribs and numerous minor injuries.
 Following the capture of the negro by posse yesterday, after Mrs. Ba- Der had been attacked in her home the mob spirit began to develop throughout the countryside. Eley expected trouble and quietly removed the prisoner to Ottawa. He was la ter transferred to another place While the sheriff was out of the city the mob stormed the jail, forced the sheriff's wife to open the cells, over powered the police and held the city at it's mercy. Sheriff EIey returned last night and the mob demanded that he tell where he had hidden Daniels. When the sheriff refused, the crowd turned their wrath upon him. He escaped from his home at the jail as the mob battered down the doors, but he was captured at the ElkS home.
 Moose Around Sheriffs Neck.
 A rope was torn from a street car trolley and a moose was placed around Eley's neck. He was told he would be hanged if he did not tell where his prisoner was, and the mob tore his clothing from his body and kicked and beat him. Chief of Po- lice Mckinney was helpless and at tempted to deputize citizens to aid him in rescuing the sheriff, but the men refused to oppose the mob. Eley finally surrendered to escape death, and the mob entered automobiles and started with the sheriff as a prisoner for Ottawa, just as the fire depart ment was called out. The chemical trucks were run through the streets to disperse the mob on foot.
 When the motor mob reached Ot- tawa they found their prisoner gone. and during the confusion Sheriff Hey escaped. During the remainder of the night it was mOmentarily expect ed that the mob would reform in Lima upon the return of the motor party.

Washington, Aug. 31.-Congress put all other affairs aside today ana devoted itself to enacting President Wilson's legislative program to avert the railroad strike.
 But the president, overlooking no possible means to prevent the threat ened public calamity, did not depend on congress alone, and continued un- ceasingly his efforts to get the brotherhood heads to postpone their | strike order.
 Just before noon the president went l to the capitol and conferring with the leaders, urged them on to the speed necessary to get the bills through the legislative machinery of house and senate before Sunday night. Then, returning to the White House, he called the four brotherhood heads be- fore him for another appeal to delay their strike while congress, by law provides what the railroads have re- fused.
 Vote for Delay.
 Although the brotherhood leaders settlement" could delay the strike, and that they were powerless to post pone lt, one of them admitted he be- neved the rank and file of the men, in view of the efforts being made in congress, would vote to delay 1t if there were time for them to express their wishes.
 Out Of that out of proposals to have congress pass a resolution ask ing the men to delay, and out of many other indications coming from the very inside of the situation, there came again the indefensible intima- ton that the strike could be pre- vented if congress, by Saturday night has. not actually enacted the presi- dents program. but has it on the way.
 Back of 1t all, President Wilson was holding another card-a direct appeal to the rank and file of the 1 railroad men to realize that congress is about to give them what they ask and to stay at their posts.
 The president was still determined today to do this. if necessary, but was hopseful that it would not be.
 House at Work i
 While the senate interstate com merce committee was hearing railroad heads and brotherhood leaders, the house managers got into action and agreed on a bill, introduced by Rep resentative Adamson and approved by President Wilson, providing the eight hour day, pro-rata pay for overtime and a commission to investigate the new conditions. They planned to rush it through while the senate was working. It did not include the com pulsory investigation features of the presidents program but there were indications that he would be satisfied with enough to prevent the men from striking and take up the re- mainder later.
 Meanwhile employers and men had a public hearing on the presidents legislative program before the senate interstate commerce committee. The men opposed the compulsory investi- gation feature and the employers op- posed the eight hour day.
 Agree on Adamson Bill.
 Formal announcement was made that the president, senate and house leaders had agreed on the Adamson bill as a compromise bill. It makes violation of it's provisions a misde- meanor punishable by from $1O0 to $1,OOO fine or not exceeding one year Imprisonment or both. The labor leaders insisted on having a penalty
