 The authorities. it was said. feared the lust for blood among the en- pioyes of a large railroad might be whetted by the summary execution during the day of two negroes whose bodies afterward were burned. One of them was charged with attacking the Wife of one of the employees: the oth- CT expressed sympathy for him and, it was said, lauded his act.
 One was taken from the county jail and the other seized on the streets.
 Followed by a crowd. estimated at 6.0o0' persons, a large part of them in automobiles the negroes were taken to the home of the woman. about two miles away.
 While one Of them was presented to her for identification, the other was taken to a tree, a rope thrown over a limb, his neck encircled in moose and an automobile hitched to the other end.
 As soon as the other negro had been identified as the assailant of the wom- an. he was led to the same tree and the process repeated,
 After assuring themselves that both negroes were dead. the members of the mob lowered the bodies and burned them on blazing pil of brush.
 The lynchings came after five hours of labor to enter the cells in the jail and were the outcome of an attack made Friday upon Mrs George Rose al har in, In

FL PASO, Tex, Oct. 16.-The faults of the national reclamation act of 1902 were not due to ignorance but were the result of compromises with the pork barrel sentiment" Arthur F. Davis, director and chief engineer of the rec lamation service, told the delegates to the Irrigation Congress this afternoon.
 He said the Irrigation Congress had constituted one of the strongest influ- ences that finally led to the passage of the national reclamation act, which he characterized as the most constructive piece of legislation passed within a generation. He charaeterizes the in- fluence of this pork barrel" policy upon the farm unit plan as insidious and one which allowed the farm unit tO be left so large that it became handicap to the farmer in making pay ments and needed improvements He said the reclamation service would be unable Co take up. for some years, new projects unless the reclamation fund can be replenished or other means of financing these projects be devised.
 A. $. Dawson, chief engineer of the department of natural resources of the Canadian Pacific railway, spoke on sthe development of the irrigated farm" and urged the cooperation of the farmers in development, distribution and marketing
 Dr. R. B. von KleinSmid, president of the University of Arizona, followed him with an address on Irrigation and Education"

in the New Witness, II was walking
along a corridor with other guests at
a musical evening when l saw coming
toward me a man who produced an
extraordinarily disagreeable impress
sion on me. a tall young mar in even
ing dress, with a blond beard and, as
it seemed to me, a hateful expression.
"IIe was coming straight at me. |
moved aside to avoid him, and he
moved, too, apparently to get into my
way again. An impulse of rage at
this insult was checked just in time
by the discovery that instead Of walk
ing along a corridor I was crossing a
square landing and that the detcstable
%apparition who had chilled my very
soul with his abominable aspect was
a reflection of myself in the wall of
mirror which the tenant of the Ashley
Gardens fiat had put up to give his
cramped dwelling an appearance of
spacious magnificence."
