PLANS MADE FOR
JEWISH RELIEF
DRIVE Ar meet
Judge Sorrells Asks People
Of County to Aid War
Sufferers.

| A meeting of the officials of the
Jefferson county Jewish relief cam
/ paign was held yesterday at the Of
F! flee of Ben. b. We'll, chairman of the
general committee, and further plans
! were made for the drive which begins
here next Monday.
AS announced yesterday, public
meeting will be held at the Tabernacle
next Monday, but workers may secure
! subscriptions before that time, with
the provision that the subscriptions
are reported. The meeting at the
Tabernacle Monday will be the formal
opening of the campaign.
Judge Sorrells. general director of
the drive yesterday fired the opening
gun with an appeal to the people of
| the county in the follOwing:
''To the People of Jefferson County:
"The Jews have, as good American
citizens, subscribed to every fund for
the relief of stricken humanity. They
bought bonds, gave to the Red Cross,
to the Armenian sufferers, Y. M. G..
A., Salvation Army. and to every war
activity They have never turned
down any, or turned a deaf ear to any.
They gave their boys, their substance,
| their sympathy, ana tnelr tears along
with the rest of us for the cause of
liberty and human, freedom. And all
this time, they never asked for one
dollar for their own starving people
in Europe, but carried the burden
themselves.
Their people in Europe are starry
ling and the need has grown in such
enormous and stupendous proper
tons that to save their race in Eu-
rope from extinction, they must have
help and help at once. The fund for
the Armenians went to the Syrians,
Greeks, and Armenians, and not to
the Jews as some suppose. These
people did not live in the same part
of the country and the Jews were
at this time caring for their own peo-
pie without aid.
"This appeal goes straight through
to our hearts and enlists our sympathy
as no other. They have done all they
could do. asking no help until they
became unable to cope with the sit
nation, and then they only ask for
aid" -

MISSISSIPPI MOB
BREAKS JAIL AND
LYNCHES NEGRO

Vicksburg, Miss, May 14.-A mob
of between 800 and 1000 persons
broke into the county Jail here to-
night, overpowered Sheriff Frank
Scott and IL deputies, took Lloyd
Clay, "a, negro, from his cell, march
ed him to the heart of the city and
hanged him from the limb of an elm
tree. At the same time bonfire was
built under him after his head had
been saturated with oil. The negro
died while a fusilade of shots were
being fired into his body. M. G. Cock
rill. deputy was internally injured
with railroad iron the mob had used
to batted down the doors of the Jail.
Two onlookers We're wounded, one
probably fatally. in the fusilade that
ended the negro's life.
Clay was arrested early today by
the sheriff on charge of having
attempted to attack young white
woman in the residence of promin-
ent family here. 1t was alleged he had
entered the young woman's room ear
ly this morning. She screamed. it is
said. and the negro ran. A piece of
cloth she tore from his coat was used
to give a clue to bloodhounds. which
led the sheriff's posse to a railway
station, where Clay was arrested. He
was taken to iail and the Young wo-
man was asked to identifv him. but
she is said to have told the officers
she was not positive CLAW was the
NEGRO who had entered her room.
When the lvnchers appeared at his
cell. CLAW is quoted as saving:
"Give me minuate and IN tell you
who the other NEGRO" his words
were choked off. however. it is relat-
ed. and he w's rushed to the scene
of the lynching.
Authorities tonioht said the lvnch-
ing was the culminatior of feelin"
resultine from series of attempted
attacks here by negroes on white wo-
men and girls.

NO GERMANS ARE
PERMITTED TO
MEET AuSTRIANS
Chancellor Renner and the
Delegates in Best of
Spirits.
(By The Associated Press. }

Paris, May 14.-Karl Renner, Aus
trian chancellor brought his peace
delegation and attendants to st. Ger.
main, near Paris, today, and at q
later date will appear before repres-
entatives of the allied and associated
powers to receive the conditions which
will spell peace for the former en-
pire.
A notable feature of the reception
was the absence of Germans, who had
requested permission to greet the
Austrians, but had been denied this
privilege. The project of the depart
ment, M. Chaleel, met the Austrians
courteously, and although there was
no official handshaking, MANY mem
bers of the party were greeted by
unofficial handshakcs from old ac-
quaintances as they were being shown
to the waiting automobiles.
The delegates then proceeded un-
der military escort to the Villas set
aside for them overlooking the valley
of the Seine and Paris.
In Good Spirits.
Chancellor Renner was apparently
in excellent spirits. He smiled en-
gagingly and his eyes shonc as he
greeted the representatives of the
allied countries. In the course of his
remark, he said, among other things:
hope | may go away with as
joyful heart as ! bring"
st. German was at its lovlest this
afternoon when the Austrian delega-
ton was received, Although strict
military regulations were enforced
and the crowds of villagers held back
by sentries from the railway station
and the shady avenues through which
the delegates were hurried to their
abiding place, such precautions were
unnecessary for the crowds displayed
mild curiosity rather than hostility.
Under official escort, the cores
pondents and others were conducted
tremendously to the station through
the streets from which other traffic
had been barred. 1t seemed like a
fete day, unconnected with, and
the good spirits of the crowd await
ing the Austrians appeared to be
shared by them, for they emerged
smiling from their special train.
Show Uncertainty.
Some OF the Austrians gazed inquir-
ingly from the windows as the train
entered the station, uncertain of theil
reception. but Chancellor Renner was
sure of his ground. and welcomed the
friendly spirit displayed with hearth
ness, which was reciprocated in a
measure by those assembled

panied by his wife and daughter. anC

In one of the requisitioned hotels.
After their arrival at the Villas
the delegates again thanked the es-
c0rting officers for their courteous
reception, and chatted for a time. con-
trasting the sunshine and warmth OF
France with the SHOWS and bleakness
of Austria and Switzerland on 3the
journey hither.

speech on arrival and later in con.
versation. spoke German. but excused
himself as being unable to speak
