Third Negro to Be
Lynched in Il Hours
Killed in Hospital

Montgomery, Ala, Sept 30
John Temple, negro, who last night
shot and fatally wounded Policeman
John Barbara, and who was wound
ed by the officer, was shot to death
in a hospital shortly after 2 o'clock
this morning by small band of
white men. He was the third negro
to die by lynch law within a period
of twelve hours, Miles Phifer and
Robert Crosby, the latter dis
charged soldier, having been shot to
death by mob five miles from the
city yesterday afternoon. Still an
other negro, Bird Astor, who was
with Temple when Barbara was
shot, was being sought by a posse
and it was believed his capture
would result in more violence.
There was no connection between
the lynching of Phifer and Crosby
and the killing of Temple. The first
named two, charged with crimes
against white women. were taken
from three deputy sheriffs by a mob
of about twenty-five men five miles
from the city. The negroes were
told to run for their lives. and as
they started were shot down. The
mob then quietly dispersed.
Last night Policeman Barbara ar
rested Temple, Astor and a negress
on a charge of disorderly conduct as
a result of a row following a dance.
Temple resented his arrest and shot
the officer, but not until he himself
had been wounded. In the meantime
Astor fed.

Policy Outlined
The present strike in the steel
industry is but one of the after
maths of the great war. The war
has aroused in the American people
their latent democratic forces, the
possession of which they were but
vaguely conscious of before.
During the war, the spirit of 1875
was revived. The Declaration of
American independence was resur-
rected from the tomb of jefferson
and for eighteen months we were
fed on the ethics, the ideals and the
principles of democracy. Realizing
that democracy had no other signifi-
canoe for the great mass of the
American people other than a mere
theory of political government, we
were advised by those in the high
places, through the press and from

Parade and Ball Game

Peter Magaro, of the Regent The
ater, was busy with his moving pic
ture force yesterday making movies
of the parade, the scenes at Island
Park during the game between the
Klein Chocolate team and the Wash
ing Americans and the picturesque
dinner scenes in the River Park bes
tween Walnut street and the Civic
Club. These films are being specially
developed and will be shown for the
first time at the Regent Theater on
Thursday.
Mr.. Magaro said this, morning the
pictures were of character to illum-
mate the unusual scenes and Incl
dents of the great homecoming
celebration. He estimates the reel
will require from twenty to thirty
minutes in the showing. All of the
pictures will be captioned in such a
way as TO make them perfectly un-
derstandable to the thousands who
will doubtless want to see in the
movies a reproduction of a remark
able community spectacle. Yater
these films will be used by the local
and State historical commissions for
authoritative story of the war so
far as it relates to Harrisburg.

strikers to ascertain the number of
men reporting for work. These
pickets report that while number
of strikers had returned to work this
morning, a number equally as large

ranks of the strikers and who are
now working in the plant comes the
following report: Between 250 and
800 men reported for work in the
bridge shop, the best unionized de-
partment of the plant. This number

Prohibition Cannot Be
Lifted Although Army
Demobilization Is Ended

Washington, Sept. 50.-Although
the War Department declared in a
statement to-day that "the accidents
of war and the progress of demobil-
ization are at an end" war time pro-
hibition cannot be lifted until after
the ratification of the Peace Treaty,
in the opinion of Attorney General
Palmer.
The prohibition law provides that
it shall remain in force until after
the termination of the war and the
rehabilitation of the army. Mr..
Palmer has held that the state of
war does not end until the Peace
Treaty has been ratified. President
Wilson took a similar position in
asking Congress early in the year to
repeal the wartime prohibition law
insofar as it affected light wines and
beer.

An important change is about to
take place in one of the surety con-
Germs of Pennsylvania which has its
headquarters in Harrisburg. All the
banking and insurance interests are
familiar with the Pennsylvania
Surety Company and its prospective
expansion as one of the big concerns
of the country is a matter of gen.

ance circles.
AS Pennsylvania institution it
has a fine record of conservative
management and the transfer of the
company to new ownership will mean
an enlargement of It's business along
definite lines. Negotiations for the
