HatleSS M. P's

Among the changes noticeable in
this house of commons is the absence
of the hat when members are in the
house itself. Formerly hats were uni
versally worn when members were
seated or in the lobby. Only the whips
were hatless in the lobby; that marked
them out from the others. Now nearly
the only members who still retain
their headgear-both> glossy silk top
pers-are Mr.. Chamberlain and Sir
Frederick Banbury. Both make great
play with it. Sir Frederick raises his
hat when minister answers one of
his questions or when, in the fencing
phrase, he is touche in debate. The
chancellor of the exchequer takes his
off when he rises to speak and puts it
on the table in front of him, and when
listening to speaker sits with it well
forward over his eyes and his feet
planted high up ON the side of the
table.-London Morning Post.

AND BURN JAIL
AssaiIant of White Girl Is Strung
Up and Shot to Death in
Heart of Omaha.
TRY TO LYNCH THE MAYOR.
Women Join in Violence Which Comes
as Protest at Crimes and Terror
ism by Blacks-Stores Looted
of Arms and Soldier Is Slain.

Omaha, Neb.-As a climax to day
of rioting here in the heart of the city,
during which one man was slain, a
score wounded, hundreds of shots fired
and the County Court House burned
in protest against recent crimes by
negroes, William Brown, negro prls-
oner held for an attack on white
girl, was lynched as he was trying to
escape from the burning structure.
The mob which numbered thousands,
both men and women, hanged the
negro to an electric pole, and as his
body was lighted by the flames from
the burning building, riddled it with
bullets
While the greater part of the mob
was surrounding the court house,
Mayor E. p. Smith mounted box
and appealed to the rioters TO dispense.
He was seized, badly beaten and his
neck actually was put in moose be-
fore he could be rescued. Removed to
until midnight from his injuries.
Two thousand troops, held in readi-
ness earlier in the night at Forts
Omaha and Crook, started for the city
on special cars to restore order, per-
mission having been given for the
movement by Secretary of War Baker
in Washington.
The court house, a new $1,500,000
structure, houses also the county Jail
on its top floor, beneath which is the
Sheriff's office. During the afternoon
the mob started TO form, beating
policemen, negroes and the city Off
Gals who counseled calm. 1t broke
into sporting goods stores and looted
them of revolvers, shotguns and am
munition.
When streams of water were turned
on the mob fusillades began from a
dozen different points in the four
crowded blocks. surrounding the court
house. Traffic was stopped, windows
smashed by the hundred, and soon
fires were started in the court house,
which had previously been barricaded
against the mob.
1t was while the rioters were fore
ing their way into the building that
the first fatality came, one of the
men being shot dead and others Sc
riously wounded. Two negro police
men sent to maintain order were
beaten almost to death, women being
in the throngs that manhandled them.
Fire hose run to the blazing court
house was cut again and again, and
the flames gradually progressed to the
Jail floor, where 100 prisoners were
hemmed in by the flames
Brown, the negro who was lynched,
was in Jail, charged with attacking
Agnes Lobeck, young white girl.
He had been positively identified by
Miss Lobeck. as well as by her escort,
cripple, when the assault occurred.
For weeks the riot had been brew
ing. In six weeks more than twenty
cases of attacks by negroes have oc-
Cured. Several murders have been
perpetrated and hcld-ups by negro
criminals have been nightly occur
rences The courts sentenced one ne
groe, accused of attempted assault, to
thirty days in Jail. Three days after
he was released he was before the
same judge for a similar offense and
was sentenced to sixty days in Jail.
