NEW YORK. Dec 16- Additional recoveries today of two to five points in stocks recently under pressure with a rally of 9 points in Bethlehem Steel. were due mainly to nasty GOV ering movement by the shorts and no little buying, particularly of rails, by investors and operators who seemed to feel that the hysteria of the last few days had run its course.
 Today's rallies included United States and Lackawanna Steels. the former making an extreme gain of 2l5 points, and two to three points in coppers and other metals. Far more convincing, however, was the sustained movement in rails. low grade issues being the foremost feat ures.
 Standard shares were relatively less active but strong. Total sales of stocks S50.0OO shares.

LOS ANGELES. Dec. 16.-After a day of investigation of an early morn ing fire which destroyed plants of the Llewelyn Iron Works. covering two city squares. Reese Llewellyn. presi- dent of the company. and District At torney's officers stated that there was no reasonable indication that the fire was other than accidental.
 Twc explosions were heard about the time the fire was first discovered but it was considered possible they were due to gas. The police and pri- vate detectives reported that evidence of incendiarism had been found. but officials of the iron works placed no credence in this from their reports on hand.
 The loss is estimated at $350, 0,000, with possibly much greater damage to blue prints and records in the of fee vaults in the ruins.

State authorities today laid plans

hope to put a stop for all time to

The lynchings were carried out
with the utmost boldness. Many
of the men in the mob were per-
sonaly known to the Rev. Perry
z. Pierce, who beseeched them
not to carry out their purpose to
kill the negroes on church prop

again and the negroes were kill

preacher was conducting a pray

FAMOUS HOTEL GIVEN

1921 by General William McIn-

with the Creek Indians ceding all
the land west of the Flint river
to the state of Georgia, has just
been presented to the Daughters
OF the American Revolution OF
Butts county, in which Indian
Springs is located, by Miss Joe
Warner, a white-haired old lady
who inherited the building from
her father and who lived in it
since 1850.
The building was built of Sc
lectcd lumber cut from the virgin
forests and is a quaint and pictur-
esque type of the architecture
chat prevailed i'll the old colonial
days. For generation after gen
Grafton it has Withstood the rava-
ges OF wind and weather and is in
a remarkable state of preserva-

1t is the intention of the
Daughters of the American Rev
olution to turn the old lobby O
the building into an Indian mu
scum which will be stored witt
relics both of the Indian and O
Colonial times. Among these rel
les will be a set of the hotel regis

THE DEVIL IN KANSAS

From the Chattanooga Times
An Associated press dispatch
printed III our news columns Fri
day morning told lis that Bert
Dudley, charged with the murder
of Henry Muller, an aged Ger
man, and his wife, was taken
from the Johnson county jail here
today by a masked mob and
hanged to a telephone post" 1t
appears that most of the mob as
sembled at the jail in motor cars.
The sheriff, as sheriffs usually
do, offered easily overpowered
resistance; the Jail door was bat
tered in and the victim taken
hence without ceremony and
hanged until he was dead. A few
pistol shots, in token of the fact
that the ceremony had been sue
cessfully performed, were fired
and the assembly quietly dispers-
ed as they do in Alabama.
This incident did not occur in
Georgia, as our readers may at
once guess, as the victim was not
negro; it was not in Texas, be-
cause it will be noted that the
junction was not accompanied by
song and prayer. In fact, it was
nowhere in the South. 1t was
the good citizens Of Stillwell,
kan., who INDUCED this bit of
saVagery-thcy were good citi-
zens, of course, because the other
sort do not generally travel in au-
tomoblles. 1t was sober mob.
too, because they do not use liqu-
or III Kansas 1t was likewise an
immune mob, just as mobs IL
more degenerate communities are
immune. Like other mobs, too,
this Kansas specimen weren't
altogether sure they had the right
man; he had been Enlarged" with
the crime and somebody had to
explate the offense, so why not
take the man suspected. If they
had waited, they probably reflect
ed, the courts might acquit the
man and there would be no Choir
rlble example" to deter others,
who might be minded to commit
murder, from indulging their
bloody appetites.
Since this thing has happened
IN Kansas we suppose there is no
use to hope that the same will
not occur i'll other and less right
eOus communities. All the mushy
stuff we read in the magazines
about Kansas being better in NOR
ais, i'll law enforcement, etc, than
other states lis cheap buncombe.
The authorities are great on pun
lshlng bootleggers out there, but
respectable mobs who take hui
man life without the benefits Of
trial will go Scott free" just as
they do everywhere else. The
devil may not employ booze his
works to perform in Kansas, but
he gets there just the same.
