TWICE OFFICERS CUT ROPE ABOUT
 MAYOR $ NECK AS Is IF TED

OMAHA, Neb., Sept. 2S.-An attempt to lynch Mayor Ed P. Smith was made this afternoon by the mob which later hung William Brown, negro, to pole. The mayor is in a critical condition at local hospital. His physician de- clines to say just how seriously he IS injured. A rope was thrown around his neck and he was pulled off the ground twice before the police officers succeeded in cutting the rope and get ting him into an&automobile and away from the mob.
 The mayor had gone to the court house and held consultation with Sheriff Clark. Emerging from the court house he met the mob and began to make an appeal for law and order. Somebody shouted lynch him" and member of the mob threw rope around his neck Half a dozen men dragged the mayor half a block and threw the loose end of the rope over trolley pole. Twice they drew the may or's body from the ground. Each time two police officers cut the rope. Fol lowin the second attempt these officers succeeded in getting the mayor into a. police motor car and rushed him sur geons office near by. The mayor was bleeding from his mouth and nose and after a brief examination by physicians, was taken to a hospital. At the hos pital it was stated by the physician at midnight that he was still unconscious.
 It is believed that the mayors con- dition is very serious if not critical. A corps of physicians have been work ing over him ever since he was removed to the hospital. His face and body were badly bruised by being dragged by the mob.
 The situation which resulted in the attempt to lynch Mayor Smith has not been cleared up late tonight and there are a number of conflicting stories. It is stated by one of the officers who assisted in the mayors escape that the mayor emerged from the court house with a revolver in his hand.
 Numerous shots were being fired at the moment, some by men in the streets and others by members of the mob all ready on the inside. Jut as he started to make an appeal for law and order a shot was fired and man in a soldier s uniform received a bullet in the hand A shout to lynch the mayor followed
 After the mayor was rescued from the mob the police refused to reveal his whereabouts.

England Ready For Long Fight.
 On RaIDisputes

LONDON, Sept. 28.-Premier Lloyd George, Sir Eric Geddes, the minister of transport and other members of the cabinet conferred throughout this morning on the railway strike situa tion, which apparently was unchanged today.
 On the railway mems side, James Henry Thomas, secretary of the Ma tional Union of Railway men, gave out statement declaring he was anxious for a settlement, but adding:
 "The attempt to turn the dispute into anything other than the labor question is complicating the situation and making it dangerous. I definitely refused to widen the issue
 The Sunday newspapers today join ed the daily press in a chorus of con demnation of the strike.
 The official statement issued from Downing street this afternoon says:
 "The traffic situation is unchanged. Food distribution arrangements are proceeding smoothly"
 The superintendent of the North British railway reports partial set'v- ice of the trains in Scotland on Sat urday and Sunday, but there is no prospect of running the trains Lon donward.
 At a meeting of strikers in Edin- burg today it was announced that 90 per cent of the railway men in Scot land were out.

COAL OPERATORS
 REPLY TODAY TO
 MINERS DEMANDS

BUFFALO, N. Y., Sept. 28.-Soft ccaI operators of the central com petitive field will submit tomorrow at the joint conference of operators and miners their reply to the de- mands of the miners for 60 per cent increase in pay, six hour day and five-day week.
 Drafting of the document was completed today but no inkling of it's contents was known outside of the operators circle.
 None of the operators would ad- nit today that the reply would be flat rejection of the scale pro- posed by the United Mine Workers convention. All that was known about the document was that it was brief and that it would not close the door to further negotiations. The leading operators continued to insist that the SO per cent increase sought would double the cost of soft coal and that not enough could be mined on six-hour day and five day week basis to provide a normal supply.
 Acting President Lewis of the United Mine Work@s today denied statement issued by the National Coal association at Washington to the effect that the miners prrpose to break their wartime agreement by a strike on November i and to take advantage of coal shortage to coup the public for one billion dollars.
 "OnIy small percentage of the wage increase should show in the added cost ton to the consumer Lewis said.

OMAHA IN GRIP OF MOB RULE
 AS SHERIFF PROTECTS NEGRO
 ASSAILANT OF WHITE WOMAN
Seriously Injured When He Pleads With the
 Officers Powerless Cut Hose When Bremen Attempt to Fight Blaze

OMAHA, Neb., Sept. 28. William Brown, colored, was dragged from the county jail at II o'clock tonight and hang ed to an electric light pole, following a struggle of nine hours to procure posses sion of his body by an immense mob.
 Sheriff Michael L. Clark and his de- puties held the fort in the top story of the court house, where is located the jail with hundred prisoners, until the building be- came a seething mass of flames and he was forced to submit.
 At II o'clock, after Brown had been hanged, the firemen were, for the first time. able to get stream on the flames. At the same time extension ladders were sent to the third and fourth floors where many of the occupants were standing on window lodges on the one side of the building that had not yet been touched by the flames.
 The entire fire department was on the scene and many of the trucks were rushed to fire houses to secure reserve hose.
 The negro was pulled out of the south side of the court house, giving the firemen an opportunity to work on the north side, where the fire started.
 The fire, however, had already de- stroyed valuable records which can never be replaced. As soon as the mob had ac- complished it's prime object, it began to disperse.
 The work of rescue then began. Itwas apparent that the jail, on the highest floor of the building, was becoming intensely hot. Pleas were being made by those on the top floor for assistance The handi- capped fire department was already mak- ing heroic efforts to reach the panic stricken prisoners and by this time we'll nigh suffocated occupants of the top story
 The lynchng followed an afternoon and evening fraught with mob demonstrations seldom recorded When the first rmbngs of possible attempt to lynch Brown heard during the forenoon Sheriff Clark called in all his regular deputies and in number of others The first act that indicated the mob was in earnest was parade up Harney street by about 50 men who detaned from street cars few blocks from the court house. They went up Haey street at double quick and were at the shers headquarters before he realized what had hap pened.
 Appeals were made to the police station for help and few uniformed men were hurried to the place. In the meantime Central station elephoned every man on the force and those on the south side to report at Being

Treaty-Strike Issues Of Week With Congress
Republican A. p. Leased Wire]

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2S.-The Ger man peace treaty and the steel strike remain the expressing affairs of COIL gress this week.
 Prospects of vote before next Sat urday on the amendments to the treaty proposed by Senator Fall, re- publican of New Mexico, and providing for elimination of virtually all Ameri- can representation on international commissions together with President Wilson's return to the capital is ex- pected to bring to head the vital issues in the treaty contest.
 Industrial unrest emphasized by the steel strike will share attention in the senate with the peace treaty. Hear ings in the labor committees inyesti- gatioh of the steel strike will be re- sumed when Chairman Gary is to give the capitals side of the controversy. Later the committee plans to hear Secretary William z. Foster of the strike committee, and other witnesses, and it would not surprise many ob- servers if efforts to bring about inter- vention by President Wilson would be made.
 While the senate is engaged with the treaty and industrial problems, the mousse VIII COnIlDue COHlpdTdtlNely quiescent this week, engaged in minor bills. With early agreements by con- ferees in prospect on three bills prohibition enforcement, food profi- teering and restoring pre-war rate making authority of the interstate commerce commissioner is expected the reports will be adopted this week and the measures sent to the white house.
 In the treaty controversy, the Fall amendments technically have right of way until a final vote.
 If President Wilson's physical condi- tion permits, several democratic sen- ate leaders plans to confer with him early in the week as to a decision on dealing with reservations. Besides the mild" and strong" republican reser- vations, a program of reservations is to be proposed tomorrow by Senator Smith, democrat of Georgia.

BROTHERHOOD ATTORNEY SAYS 1s COMPANIES EXPLOITED
 BY FINANCIERS.
INVESTIGATION IS DEMANDED
Wants American People To Know To What Extent They Are Being Exploited By the Con-
 panies.

Washington. = The railroad broth erhoods, through their counsel. Glenn B. Plumb, laid before the House 1n- terstate commerce committee their charges of corruption in the manage ment Of railroads under private con trol. The charges, announced as forthcoming a week ago, were that many of the great railway systems had been plundered systematically by the financial interests and that the railroads illegally held millions of acres of public lands.
 Eighteen representative railroads of the country, the brotherhood attor- hey asserted, issued stock aggregat- ing $450,414,000 between 1900 and 1910 as bonuses and paid millions of dollars in dividends on these bonuses. These same railroads, he further charged, were controlled in whole or in part by the Morgan interests. the Rockefeller interests and the Gould interests"
 Coupled with the charges, which came. just before the House commit tee closed it's hearings on organized labors' bill for elimination of private capital from railroad ownership, was the demand by MT. Plumb that Con gress make a thorough Investigation of the matter so that the American people may know to what extent it is sought to subject them 10 exploita- tion under the other plans proposed for future disposition of the rail roads"

ANDREW CARNEGIE
 CALLED BY DEATH
AGED PHILANTHRoPIsT DIES AT SUMMER HOME AFTER A
 SHORT ILLNESS.

Lenox, Mass.-In his great mansion overlooking a lake in the beautiful Berkshires, where he sought seclusion when bodily infirmity overlook him and his mind was saddened by the entrance of his country into the world war, Andrew Carnegie. iron master and philanthropist, died.
 Although he had been in feeble health for more than two years, his final illness was brief-a matter of days. A severe cold developed quick ly into bronchial pneumonia, the aged patient lapsed into uncon- sciousness and the end came as though it was the beginning of 6 deeper sleep. No ostentation marked the funeral of the man who, when he began IS years ago to give away his millions, was reputed to have the sec ond largest private fortune in Ameri- ca. A simple service attended only by members of his family and his household was held at the home, Shadow Brook.
 AndfeW carnegie began race against time when, in 1901, at the age of 65, he resolved to give away his enormous fortune. He held it 'disgraceful'' for man to keep on gathering idle millions. In the com paratively few years which the actu- ary could allow him, he would disem- barrass himself of practically all he had
 His was then fortune of lust about $25O,O0O,000, the largest ever acquired by foreign-born American, second only to the John D. Rockefel- Ter wealth as the largest individual accumulation in the United States, and built as it was, of five per cent steel bonds, it would, without so much as turning over ones hand, have approached half billion by the time Carnegie could call himself an oetegenarian on November 25, 1915.
 To give this stupendous sum away, in about half the time he had taken to gather it. was purpose Carnegie had fairly well fulfilled when death overlook him. He had distributed about $30O,O00,000 It was giving money away at the rate of over $20,- OO0.000 a year, or more than $5O,000 a day.

ATTORNEY GENERAL
 STARTS FOOD PROBE
USING MACHINERY OF FOOD An MINisTRATloN IN PRICE
 INVESTIGATION.

Washington. Attorney General Palmer has started out to ascertain how much of the high cost of living is due to excessive profits by retail. CTS.
 In a telegram to all state food ad. ministrators who worked with Admin. istrator Hoover during the war, the attorney general requested the an pointment of fair price committee in each county to investigate what ia being charged for retail necessities and if in excess of what the commit. tee considers just, to publish list of fair prices for the guidance of the public.
 There is the "extras lega1o means of reaching profteering which MT. Pal mer recently indicated was under con. sideration. He has frankly admitted from the start that there was no means to prosecute directly man guilty of extortion in prices. Retail CTS who are gauging the ultimate con. sumer will have to be disciplined by public sentiment, which officials have no doubt is sufficiently alert to the situation now to act vigorously in clear cut cases. Hoarders on the oth- CT hand, can be reached through the wartime food laws, or the Sherman act, and sMr. Palmer requested the state food administrators to transmit to him any evidence of hoarding or other violations of the law which they might encounter in their work with the promise that the govern ment's law-enforcement machinery would act promptly.
