MANY PROMINENT MEN SIGN Pc
TITIoN DEMANDING CONGRESS
sIoNAL INVESTIGATION OF
RIOTS.

NeWSYork, City, Demand for an
investigation by Congress of mob
violence and lynching in the United
States is made in an address to the
nation signed by $50 citizens through
out the country, including ex-Presi-
dent Taft, Attorney General A. Mitch
ell Palmer, DR.. Henry van Dyke, the
governors of seven States, including
Governor A. H. Roberts of Ten
nessee, every living ex-attorney gen.
eral of the United States, the heads of
California, Illinois, Princeton, West
ern Reserve, Fisk and Vanderbilt
Universities, Charles w. Eliot, Elihu
Root, Charles Evans Hughes, ]. R.
Bigham of Mississippi and Senator
Arthur Copper of Kansas.
The Address To the Nation is an
outcome of the National Conference
on Lynching, which was held in New
York City, recently.
"The people of the United States
suffer justly under the grievous
charge that they continue to tolerate
mob murder" says the address. 'In
the year 1913 no less than 81 persons
were done to death without trial on
any process of law, having been de-
MED the right to a day in court, ac-
corded by the Federal and State Con-
situations to all citizens.
at is well-known that the innocent
with the guilty suffer the cruel in
fiictions of mob violence. Mobs have
even invaded court rooms and prisons
to seek and murder prisoners whose
punishment had already been fixed. |
Early in 1919, hospital was invaded
by mob, and the attack resulted in
death from shock of a patient that
day operated upon.
Patriotic citizens thfosGhnut the
country feel the shame which lynch
ing cast upon the nation, but they
have assumed partial responsibility
for this shame by their silence and
their acquiesence. The time has now
come when citizens of the United Sta ]
tes can no longer contemplate without |
protest the setting at nought of the
fundamental principles upon which
their citizenship is based.
"The undersigned, therefore, as
citizens of the United States, without
sectional or party bias, with the inter
est only of the Republic at heart, urge
all public-spirited men and women,
to oppose with all their power the re-
currence of the crime and the shame
of mob murder; they urge the govern
ors Of the several States to do all that
is possible to prevent and punish
lynching; they pledge their support
to the officers Of the law who, in the
face Of mob excitement, discharged
their duties; and they urge upon the
Congress of the United States nation
wide investigation of. lynching and
mob murder, to the end that means
may be found 70 end this seourge."
Among the Southern signers of the
address are Charles J. BOnaparte of
Maryland, former attorney general Of
the United States; George N. Bailey,
editor Of The Houston Post; William
n. Hunley Of Lexington, Va, seere-
tary southern Race Commission; WIZ
liam S. Sutton, dean Of Department Of
Edueatson Of the University Of Texas.

washington, D. C.-Relative to the
coal situation Senator Owens has
placed in the Congressional record q
statemen. from the director Of the o..
8. Geological Survey.
This staterlent shows that during
the II months prior to October Is.
1919, the average percentage Of full
time operation Of the coal mines was
only cal. The average number Of
hours worked per man per week was
s9.9. The best week for operations
showed 39.7 hours and the poorest
22.7 hours.
Ii view Of these facts it would ap-
pear that the miners demand for 30
hours a week would mean more work

tary OF labor pointed out The demand
was made as a beginning Of negotia-
tions and has already been altered In
the negotiations now going on. The

AMERICAN SUPPLIES
 ON WAY TO RUMANIA
Medical Necessities Will Be Shipped to Bucharest for Sale

Budapest, Oct. fl, (By MaiD.-- Thousands of tons of American mcdi- cal supplies, captured in Rumania by the Hungarian army in 1917-1918, and recapturcd by the Rumanians upon their occupation of Budapest, will soon be on their way to Bucha- rest, the Rumanian capital
 The supplies, consisting of d train load of huge cases, were shipped via Vladivostol1 in 1916, this being the only route then open to Rumania. Many of these supplies belonged to the American Red Cross, which was driven out of Rumania by the Aus Hungarian invasion of 1917. Tho remainder were sold to the Rumanian army by American drug firms.
 Despite the fact that the typhus was raging in Rumania at the time and these supplies were desperately needed by the civilian population, the AustrO- -Hungarians loaded every case, particularly American instrum ents and hospital goods. on their "booty trains'' which left Bucharest almost daily, Together with these supplies went the equipment of every hospital and pharmacy in Rumania the popu- lation being left to get along as best it could.
 Upon the discovery of these sup plies in warehouses in Buda pest, the part that belonged to the American Red Cross was immediately turned over 10 it by the Rumanian army. Captain Melvin M. Knight. an Amer ican Red Cross man. of Worcester, Mass, who was with the Rumanian army became custodian. They are now being shipped back to Bucharest.

Paris, Oct. 30.-The text of the note sent by Marshal Foch to Gen. eTdl Nundant for transmission to the Ierman government inviting Ger many to participate in the blockade pr Bolsheylst Russia is similar to that seht to the neutral states with the ex- 4ept1on of the last paragraph. The 1ote follows:
 The president of the peace con- erence has been requested by the conference to inform the neutral goy- frnments of decision taken by the Fupreme council of the Allied and as Fociated powers in regard to cconom- c pressure which is to be exerted on fBo1shevist Russia
 The German government is asked &o take measures similar to those in Heated.
 "The avowed hostility of the Bol- Fhevfsts toward all governments and heir international program of revo- ution. which they are spreading abroad constitute grave danger for he national security of all powers. Every increase of strength of the BosheNist would increase the dan Ter and would be contrary to the de- Eire Of all peoples who are seeking to re- establish peace and social order.
 Tt is in this spirit that the Allied nd associated governments after tudying the commercial relations with Bolshevist Russia find these re- 2ation5, ,inded could only be affected through the agency of the chiefs of he Bolshevist government, who, dis posing at will of the products and re- |ources which commercial liberty vould bring them, would thereby ,chieve considerable increase in their yrannical strength, which they are xercising over the Russian popula- ions.
