took them over.
The end OF the war" the ter
mination of the war" during the
emergency" when state Of war is
ended" and "with the coming OF
peace" are some OF the terms which
have been in use in the multitude of
war time laws. The legal questions
involved are apparent. Besides that
measures are now pending to sus-
pend war time control. notably in the
case Of telephone and telegraph
wires Besides that, some govern
ment controls, such as food and
fuel actually have long since ceased
TO function. The legal limitations
placed on some of the principal war
time government controls are ex-
pressed in the laws as follows:
Railroads: Twenty-one months
after end of the war.
Telegraph and telephone: Ratifi-
cation of peace treaty or sooner in
the discretion of the President.
Food and fuel: When peace is
proclaimed.
Espionage act: End OF the war.
War trade board and export con-
troll: End of the war.

months after termination OF the war.

Government operation OF ships:
Five years after the war.

LEAGUE OPPONENTS ARE
STRIVING FOR HARMONY
Hold Conferences to Try TO Reach
an Agreement on Plan for
Final Fight.

Washington, June Turning
aside from the more immediate issues
of the league of nations fight, senate
opponents of the league began de
termined effort toward agreement on
plan for their final fight against
ratification OF the league covenant in
its present form.
Although no definite agreement
was reached, day of conferences
served to add impetus to the sugges-
tion of Elihu Root for a ratification
resolution making stipulated reser-
vations to further protect American
policies. What these reservations
shall be. however. is a question on
which there is still wide differenc ce
of opinion.
Will II. Hays. chairman Of the
Republican national committee, spent
most OF the day at the capitol and
saw many Republican senators OPP
posing the covenant. He would not
discuss the conferences, however,
except to say that he had talked over
many things Regarding the league
of nations he merely reiterated that
the question was not a partisan one
and that the public should not get
the impression that the Republican
party was opposed to the league.
It was not denied, however, that
the treaty fight was one of the sub
1ects discussed at the chairman
conference, and the general impress
sion was given that he favored some
composition OF difference to prevent
any possibility Of disorganizatlon in
lspubucsn ranks.

NEGRO is LYNCHED BY
A MOB IN MISSISSIPPI
Confessed Assailant of Young White
Woman Hanged and His Body
Burned.

Ellisville, Miss, June 30.-Trail.
ed for 10 days through three south
Mississippi counties by posses which
included several hundred members of
his own race, John fairfield, negro
confessed assailant of an Ellisvlle
young woman, was captured desper-
ately wounded, near Collins at day
break Thursday morning, rushed by
automobile to the scene of his crime,
hanged to gum tree and then
burned to ashes. His victim wit
messed the lynching.
The lynching was conducted in a
manner which the authorities char
acterized as orderly" Guarded by
Hartfield was taken first to the Of
hce of DR.. A. j. Carter, who, after
examination OF gunshot wounds re-
ceived when the fugitive made his
hght against capture, declared the
negro could not live more than "a
hours. In the meantime a group of
silent men were piling crossties and
brush in depression in the ground
near the railroad trestle. There was
NO shouting. Arrangements appar-
emily had been made days ago.
The victim Of Hartfield's crime was
escorted into the physicians office
after the wounds had been exam
ined. She positively identified him
as her assailant. When she left the
negro said to the committee, you
have the right man"
fairfield was not taken to Jail, al
though earlier reports were that he
had been lodged there. From the
doctors Office he was taken to the
street and faced the crowd "You
have the right man" he reiterated.
Then moose found it's way around
his neck and the trip to the big
gum tree was started, the crowd
ominously silent.
Under the big gum tree Hartield
forcibly detained his victim all of the
night of Sunday, June Is. 1t was
under limb of the same gum tree
that fairfield was hanged as soon
as the rope could be pulled up by
hundreds of hands. Then occurred
the first demonstration. While the
body was in its death struggles pis-
tolls were produced by men in the
crowd and fired point blank at the
swinging form. Before the rope had
been cut by bullets. burning fagots
were thrown under the body and an
hour later there was only pile of
ashes.
No arrests were made after the
lynching and at night the little town
was quiet. Most of the visitors from
the surrounding country had left for
their homes.
Petitions to Governor Bilbo to pre-
vent the threatened lynching brought
. reply from the executive to the eff
feet that he was utterly power
less" as the state had no troops
''Furth ,rmore," the governor is
quoted as saying, excitement is at
such a high pitch through south
Mississippi that any armed attempt
to interfere with the mob would
doubtless result in the deaths of
hundreds Of persons The negro has
confessed says he is ready to die
and nobody can keep the inevitable
from happening"

 So far, not a single exhibition of new spring hats has failed to exploit at least half a dozen models wholly or partly in the rust-colored "henna'' shade. Evidently this rusty red is tre- mendously smart for spring, and though an all-henna chapeau is rath- CT pronounced, a black hat touched with henna Is very good looking, in- deed.
 A new turban whose brim shoots far forward in front to give a poke suggestion to the hat is smart. The straw is glossy black milan, and the ostrich which forms the trimming is rust-red in color. Another hat has g brim that sweeps out at one side. | Is a model of dark gray milan with 8 band of henna- colored ribbon and 8 black paradise feather curving up- ward at the back.

INCREASE IN
 PARCEL POST

It has been announced at the post office that parcel post packages go- ing out from this city to South Amer ica, China, Italy and the islands in the Pacific Ocean have increased tre- mendously in number. As many as 2,000 packages carrying merchandise from Bridgeport are being. sent out every week. Today alone there were over 500 packages sent out from the parcel post office.
 This shows the increase of business that will result with the reconstruc- ton movement when Bridgeport and other cities will be called upon to supply the necessaries in industrial life for most of the European coun- tries Many of the packages contain shoes, tools, and other manufactured articles.
