FREAK STORM VISITS
 THE GREAT SALT LAKE

SALT LAKE CITY, May 13- Towns in the vicinity of Great Salt Lake were visited by one of their infrequent "freak" storms recently, white dust, said by some to be salt, falling oves the entire Salt Lake valley in conJunc- ton with light rainfall Some of the older inhabitants call them "salt- storms" and maintain that salt is rained upon the earth.
 According to the local weather bur- eau, however, the fall of salt or sand comes only when there is high wind which whips the salt or sand from the salt beds in the vicinity of Great Salt Lake and drops it severa! miles away It is said that most of the substance which gives everything white coat is sand and not salt, but this is dis, puted by those who have tasted tht substance and pronounce it salt.
 Newly washed windows and auto mobiles were coated during the re- cent storm, bring a harvest of wors for the window-cleaners and automo bile washers.

HELENA, Mont, May l3- A re- quest for information from a resident of Medford, Mass, as to the where abouts of the silver figure of Justice admired by the thousands. at the Worlds Columbian exposition at Chi cago in 1893 as part of the Montana state exhibit, has recalled to mind q quarter century mystery as to the disappsarence of the once famous statue!
 The statue, for which the late Ada Rehan, the actress, posed as the model was formed of pure silver and mount ed on a sphere of unalloyed gold. lt was constantly guarded during the ex- position by three armed men, ano at the close was placed on special car and started to Helena under escort of two armed guards. Here it was remov- ed to the court, house, which then was used also as the state capitol. Some days later it was discovered that the silver statue had been removed, and q painted wooden one substituted.
 :. The theft was kept secret and de- tectives were, employed in an effort to locate the original statue, but never with any success. The state industrial accident board, to which the MasSa- chnsett,s mans inquiry was addressed was unable to give him any informa- tion in the matter. . ..''

ated by strong emotion. The victim is

The torture which IS an accom-
paniment Of modern lynching shows
that il is an act Of perversion only
found in those suffering from extreme
forms Of sexual perversion- OF course,
not all lynchings are conducted in
that way. but IL is not uncommon TO
read accounts telling thar the victim

eyes were burned out and that other
monstrOus cruelties were inflicted
upon him. Such bestiahty can be
recognized only as a form Of perver-

"An important element in animal
acts OF this sort is that aside from
its influence on the immediate euvir-

L,rching Springs From Those Suffering From
Sexual PerUersion, Says A Noted NeuroLogist

When those social barriers are
removed the primitive instincts come
to the surface. II took ceutules
to bury those primitive instincts AS
long as lynching is practiced in the
south. it will liberate those primi-
tive instincts throughout the rest OF
the country.
~One finds perverts everywhere.
and II they have any opportunity OF
bringing those Instincts to the sur
face they avail themselves Of IT, For
thise reason lynching is a distinct
menace to the community II allows
primitive brutality 20 assert itself
and thus destroys the strongest
fabric Of civilization.
OF course. lynching brl-allZes
those who take part in H. No person
who can deliberately kill another can
thereafter be a law abiding civilized
person.
IN fact, anyone taking part in cr
witnessing & lynching cannot remain
a civilized person. I believe that the
organization Of every lynching IS
done by ptrverts. The consequence IS
TO open up the primitive instincts in
normal persons"

NEW YORK, May 5.-'No one who

ference on Lynching. which will con-
tinue sessions throughout tomorrow.
'Lyching is. TO use mild language.

tice practised by savages in the most

1T must be remembered that lynch
ing as il is done in the south is not
merely a reaction to fury. 1t is
usually done in most objective way.

organized The victim is put TO death
