 srotherhoods to Held
 Officials believe the great railroad hrotherhoods will cooperate throwing the strength of the unions behind the recruiting efforts. The railway com panies already are so organized under the Council of National Defense that their cooperation is assured. The en- gineers and officials of the lines who offer themselves will be selected in such manner as not to cipple the op- erating forces of any company.
 The decision to send the engineers is understood to have grown out Of conferences here between government officials and members of the French and British war missions. One of the ~reat problems of the war has been that of maintaining adequate supply lines and the railroads are the vital clement of the system that feeds men, shells and food toward the fighting line.
 U. S. to Do R. R. Feats
 Engineering feats of spectacular nature have been accomplished in nerfecting these communication lines. A whole British railroad was picked up bodily, rolling stock, rails, road bed. and all. and taken to France.
 American engineers had much to do with that. they have, under direction of the British and French govern -r1ents driven tunnels. built spurs and bridges and mapped out schemes of transnortation that are in operation today.
 America is pre-eminent in the field of railway engineering and the best talent and experience the nation can provide in that line will go into the new regiments, each of which would He able to undertake all or any part of the work of building or operating whole railway system. The admin ;stration's action means the American troops carrying the American flag and nthe uniform of the American army are soon to be on French soil. If there is psychological value. in such action, as the French and Brit ish commission have urged, it will show itself with the arrival in France If the first engineer regiment.

GIBSON SLAYER IS
 LYNCHED BY MOB
(Continued From Page One)

ficers got word that a plan was on foot to storm the jail. The lynching occurred four hours later at the scene of the attack on the Gibsons, near Mesa. Daley, who had retained his composure during the preliminaries to the lynching and who showed mem Der of the party how to make moose, collapsed at the last minute, when he was asked if he wished to pray and the mob recited the Lords prayer in unison for him. Before he was hanged Daley confessed to the kill ing of Gibson and the attack on Mrs. Gibson and enumerated several hold ups and bank robberies in Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri and California in which he said he had taken part and in which he believed he had killed hree men.
 Mob Repeats Lords Prayer
 Kneeling upon the hard ground of the desert with the light from an electric torch playing a cleaning cir cle upon him, Starr Daley attempted yesterday morning at 4 o'clock to say ris last players. He was within a few feet of where he had murdered James Gibson and within eyesight was the locality in which he had criminally assaulted the mans wife.
 "Oh, God" said Daley, and then his voice broke. and head sunk to his breast. His manacled hands came up ,o cover his face, and bis lips re- fused to form another word.
 Gentlemen" someone remarked, we will all bare our heads and say he Lords prayer in unison. He is untitled to that"
 Our Father which art in Heaven, was started, and with barred and bowed heads, fifty men stood in cir ,le around Daley. and repeated the prayer through Co the finish. At the conclusion, Daley jumped to his feet, md with glance around said:
 Well, gentlemen, let's do it up tight: back a machine up here and let it be pulled out from under me"
 A long white rope, brought all the way from Phoenix, was thrown over the cross arm of a telephone pole, a ,angman's knot was quickly tied. a machine was backed up, and every hing was in readiness.
 Have you anything to say?" some one asked Daley.
 Yes" he replied '1 hope this will oe a lesson to all men like me. l am not to blame, it is the result of hay rg 8 mother who worked in brothel. Help me up there"
 He was aided to mount the back of the rear seat of the machine. The ~ope was pulled taut, and one end noted around the stump of mes quite tree. Daley's hat was placed on his head at his request, and some shouted: "Go ahead. and Deley swung cut into space, making drop of about three feet His feet were nearly touching the ground. so the rope was pulled up and the swaying body lifted off the ground.
 Yesterday morning Coroner Still man of Florence impanelled a jury and went to where Daley was hang ing. The body was cut down and an in quest held, at which the verdict was "Justifiable homicide. by hang 'ng. at the hands of unknown par ties"
 A grave was then dug and the body buried at the scene of the crime.

$50 AMERICAN MARINES FORM
GARRISON OF VIRGIN ISLANDS

WASHINGTON, D. c., April T.
Two hundred and fifty United States
Marines from Haiti and Santo Do
mingo were landed Saturday in the
Virgin Islands, formerly the Danish
West Indies, to form the first United
States garrison in this newly-acQuired
island possession.
In peace or war these soldiers of
the sea" have ever been first in the
protection of American interests and
property on land or sea, even before
" had an army or navy. Having been
stationed ashore guarding American
legations abroad and the naval stations
in our many island possessions for
years, the garrisoning of the Virgin
Islands is no new duty for the ma
rines.

'sRESTIVO"
Do YOU KNOW WHY YOU WEAR
NEW CLOTHES ON EASTER!

ATLANTA, Ca, April 7-Do you
know why it is that you wear new
clothes on Easter Sunday? 1t may
surprise you to learn that an ancient
superstition, and not fashion at all, is
really responsible for it.
The history of the Easter bonnet and
the Easter festive clothing is an old
one. Before the expensive hat made its
appearance in straw or silk, festive
head covering in the form of new
ribbon, a silk kerchief or lace scarf
was worn by the devout worshiper on
the first Sunday terminating the Len
ten season. t
There is an ancient belief prevalent
in all Christian countries that to Sc
cure good luck with any article of
clothing it must first be worn to
church, and that the good luck of the
wearer will be especially good If the
first Sunday chances to be Easter.
