WILL TRY WHITES
FOR LYNCHING

DALLAS. Tex, Sept. 25.-Within
the next few weeks, probably during
the first Of October, two murder cases
which are destined to attract nation
wide attention will be tried here. e.
These are the cases Of A. B. Boyd
and Tracey Flanagan, indicted blythe
Upper county grand jury in connec-
tion with the lynChing Of Chiffon
Jennings, Of Gilmer, on July %, and
transferred here on the motion Of
District Judge Warren Of that dis
trict to insure a fair and impartial.
trial. These Gre the first cases in the
South where white men have been
charged with murder in connection
with a lunching where a negro was
accused OF criminally assaulting a
white woman, and during the trial,
because of the precedent set the
judicial eyes OF the nation viii be
focused on Dallas.
Three other white men indicted at
the same time and for the same Of
fense have had their cases trans
ferred to Van Zandt county, but be-
cause Of the crowded condition OF the
docket there it Is not likely that the.
trials will be reached before spring.
Judge Warren admonished the mob
at GImer, which burned Jennings to.
death in the court house square, to
permit the law to take it's course.
other leading citizens made similar
appeals, but Of no avail. Judge War
rem. in charging the grand jury to
return murder indictments against
those who caused the negro's death,
said eve have no sympathy for a.
black brute who crimiually assaults
white woman. He deserves the
most severe punishment but the law
should be permitted TO take its
course Men who take the law in
their own hands and take the life Of
human being are guilty Of muF-
der and II is your solemn duty TO re-
turn such indictments against them.
In transferring the cases to Dallas
the Judge said such action would IN
sure complete justice for those aC-
cused ,of lynching the negro he de-
clared the Dallas jury would know
nothing Of the circumstances = and
would be unbiased and rejudfced.
Boyd and Flannjgan are now out on
$4,000 bond each.
The crime which Jennings was
Iynched was a criminal assault upon
a white woman near Gilmer. It IS
alleged she was assaulted by a ne.
gro while going along the road near
the village where she lived There
is some doubt as to whether she ever

made after the lynching Of Jennings.
says she did not identify him. Jen-
nings protested his innocence, but ad-
mitted that he was working IN the
Vicinity Of the alleged crime the day
the Olfense was supposed to have
been committed. The inVestigation
Of the grand jury showed that less
than a score Of men participated in
the lynching and that none Of the
prominent citiZens OF Upshur county
were involved In %. The lynchlng
took place shortly after the race riots
at LOngview, and Tracey Flannisan
resides at LOngview.

unofficial records yesterday afternoon

complished. A week ago on the Polo
grounds. Ruth broke Buck Freeman's
twenty-five home run mark, and yes

seven in 1854 also shattered Joe
Jackson's record for the longest hit

NO MORE GERMAN
HYMNS OF HATE

BERLIN, Sept. 25.-The doctrine Of
eternal peace and universal brother
hood Is to be the fundamental idea OF
education in Prussia hereafter. The
idea OF revenge and hatred preached
by the conservative element Of Ger
many will not be tolerated in the
classroom. Germauy's youth will be
taught that the redemption o. the
Fatherland is to be achieved through
useful work. not through another
bloody war
These statements were made to me
by Herr Haenisch, Prussian minister
Of education. author OF the cduCa-
tional articles in Germany's new con-
stitution and a reluctant partner to
the school compromise eXaCted by
the Catholics in the third reading OF
the constitution.
with these objects in mind have
lust ordered a sweeping revision OF
text books" said Herr Haenisch. The
Oldlchauvinistic teachings viii be ex-
plunged from our school books: That
does not mean, however, that tho
children will not be brought up in a
spirit Of nationalism. On the con-
trary, our policy will be to teach
them to be Germans and to be proud
Of their country's achievements in
Schools Take Up study.
THE writings Of the German
League Of Nations Society ere to be
introduced into the public schools in
the form of lectures. That will help
the children to a better understand
ing OF the rest OF the world"
i reminded Herr HaenisCh OF the
proclamation of revenge and hatred
- 49,
Berlin University, including DR.. kuno
Meyer some time ago. The said
proclamation, it will be remembered,
was a. pledge to sow the seed Of
hatred in the breasts OF Germanys
youth for untold generations to come
Herr Haenisch replied:
81 did not interfere with this proc
lamation because to do so, even in
the case of men who technically are
working under me, would have been
an infringement on the right OF free
speech, which you as an American
must readily realize. But I can as
sure you that any teacher who at
tempts to scatter such notions in the
classroom will be dismissed"
I asked Herr Haenisch to explain
the salient features of the constitu-
tional school articles, including the
somewhat complicated compromise
between the socialists and clericaIs.
The constitution" answered Herr
Haenisch, 'prescribes compulsory ed
ucation for a period Of twelve years.
The first eight years are spent in the
public schools; the remaining four in
institutions corresponding to your
high schools, also at the expense Of
the public. The young men and
women will finish their education at
eighteen, unless they desire to enter
university. There will be no more
class schools; all schools are to be
open to the poor"
To my suggestions that poor par
ents with many children to support
might find II a hardship to be com
PEELED to keep the bigger children at
school when they could be working
and adding their share to the fam
lily income. Herr ,Haenisch responded
that social improvement would 90
hand in hand with education, and
that in the new Germany none would
be too poor to give his children q
proper education.
