"AMERiCAN SPORT"

New Orleans, April 16.-With the
election of officers today, including
Dr. c. II. Bough of Arkansas as pres

dealing with recall problems, the
Southern Sociological Congress about
completed its work here and was pre-

the Southern Conference for Educa-

Bishop, president of the Southwes
tern University, Georgetown, Tex, and
Rev. Theodore ID. Bratton, bishop
PROTESTANT Episcopal church of Mis-
sissippi, delivered the principal adj
dress tonight.
DIR. Bishop referred to lynching as
1.-The great American sport and said
that in 1915 the record of deaths by
mob violence fell below the average,
there being sixty-nine lynchings, sixty
seven of which occurred i'll the South.
"The prevalence of mob violence he
declared, has dulled the public con
science with respect to the sacredness
of human life and sanctity of the law.
Lynchings increase lawlessness rather
than promulgating a respect for laws
degrades the finer sensibilites of the
people and aggravates race antip
athy."
