Lima. Ohio, Aug. 31.-Fearing a race
war here as a result of the attempt
made last night to lynch a negro pris-
oner accused OF assaulting a white
woman, County Prosecutor Arthur
Barr tonight called on Gov. Willis to
send the State militia to handle the
situation.
The city and county officials late this
afternoon prepared for the trouble
which threatened. Saloons were or
dered to close at o'clock. and all
negroes were warned to remain off the
streets. Scores of colored people left
the city.
Fifty deputy sheriffs and the entire
day and night police force are patrolling
the streets tonight.
Indictment of at least 200 citizens by
the grand jury, which meets Thursday.
Is expected by Prosecutor Barr as a re-
suit OF last nights riots. Sheriff Sher-
man !. Ely, who hid the negro prisoner
from the mob and then was threatened
with lynching himself, and forced to tell
the ring leaders he had taken the negro
to Ottawa, arrived back in the city today
and was taken to the hospital.

Roosevelt delivered his Iong-heraIded
first campaign speech in behalf of
Charles L Hughes before a tremendous
gathering here tonight. 1t was an ar
raignment IF the Democratic adminis-
tration more scathing and more thor
ough-going than anything the Colonel
has said or written on the subject with
in the last three years.
Americanism, preparedness, President
Wilson's Mexican policy, and his course
in foreign affairs were the Colonel's main
issues. AS was expected, he hit hard
and straight from the shoulder in deal
ing with the subject of dual allegiance
in citizenship" Contrary to expectations
he touched only briefly on the submarine
issue. The body of his speech dealt with
Mexico.
He raped professional German Amer
leans" professional pacifists. and pro-
fessional moralists. incidentally. he took
a fling at Secretary OF the Navy, Jo-
sephus Daniels. He urged universal mill
tary training in peace and universal
military service in war time Diverting
TO the subject OF Belgium, he said COM
pairing Mr.. Wilson's neutrality to that
of Portius Plate would be doing the
latter an injustice.

Wilson kept tie country out Of war;"
the Colonel said this country had been
in effect at war with Mexico throughout
the American controversies with her,
and that the peace on which the Demo-
cratic party claim was based hId been
a ''murderous peace"
The Colonel said in part:
Z come here to Maine to advocate
the election of Charles z. Hughes as
President of the United States. and the
election Of Senate and House of Rep
resentatives to support him, and TO give
some of the reasons why I'm my judgment
1t would be a grave misfortune for the
people of the United States to re-elect

URGES. FEDERAL
PAPER FACTORY
Tavenner Would Cut High
Cost of Product.
BY ANDREW X. KELLEY.

Representative Tavenner, of Illinois
yesterday took steps to have the gov
ernment manufacture its own print paper.
by the introduction of a bill appropriat-
ing A,OoO,ooo for the construction a wood
pulp mill.
Citing that Uncle Sam is at the mercy
of the paper trust and compelled to pay
exorbitant prices for print paper, the
Illinois legislator would have the pub
lie printer authorized to begin the con-
struction OF Federal paper mill or the
purchase OF a suitable plant capable OF
turning out fifty tons of paper a day.
At the present time the government
uses about twenty-five tons a day at the
Government Printing Office. The ad-
vance in the cost OF the product will in
crease the cost of maintaining the plant
for the current year to the extent OF
thousands of dollars
The Tavenner bill authorizes the pub
lie printer to locate the new plant on
government land in that part Of the
United States where the raw materials
can be secured most economically and the
mill operated most efficiently II no gov
ernment land Is found suitable, authority
is given for the purchase Of a site in
a desirable location.
The Secretary of the Interior is in
structed to cooperate with the public
printer in the fUrtherance OF the estab-
lishment of the venture by releasing such
government lands that contain timber
and wood pulp or other products neces-
sary in the manufacture.
Government officials are directed to
keep an account, showing exactly what
the cost of manufacturing the paper
amounts to per ton. and an annual re-
port will be made to Congress detailing
the exact cost of manufacture.
These statistics it is pointed out. will
be available for newspaper publishers all
over the country and will constitute a
standard of price by which they may
determine whether they are being over
charged for their paper
1t is specifically provided that II the
government is unable TO utilize the full
output OF the mill, it may sell any sur
plus in the open market at cost
For carrying out the provision of the
bill. the sum Of 100000 would be pro-
vided, with an annual appropriation to
be made for the permanent maintenance
Of the mill
Representative Tavenner believes that
his bill is thoroughly practical and an
nounced yesterday that he proposed TO
push it 1t was referred to the Com
mittee on Printing. and II 1t is not re-
prted within a reasonable time. the IlH-
nois Congressman proposes to call it up on
the floor Of the House.
The bill is prompted from a belief that
the present high prices for print paper
are not justified aSd thai with th., gov
ernment engaged IA che manufacture of
this commodity, definite and accurate sta
tistics on the actual cost are available
that will operate to prevent extortionate
prices.
AS a measure OF economy for the gov
ernment which is one Of the largest
users of print paper In the country. Rep
lresentative Tavenner believes the bill
will be a success.

and weeping daughter and drove horne.
The elopement was a regular old-fash-

window into Romans arms. They drove
to the clerks office in an old shay. Caleb,
discovering Cynthia's disappearance and
smelling a rat, pursued them on an old
