Square, Demanding
Negro Be Given Up

Washington, Ga. Oct. 5.-One
negro was SHOT to death tonight, two
others were whipped and FIVE were
being held, it was said. for lynching
by mob that since daybreak this
morning has been securing the
swamps and cane breaks of Cotton
county for Jack Gordon, a negro
who shot and killed Red Freeman, a
deputy sheriff, and wounded citi-
zen who attempted to aid the deputy.
The negro who was killed and
the two who were whipped were
said to have made boastful remarks
regarding the killing of the deputy
sheriff. The five being held were
captured near the scene of the kill
ing. Members of the mob asserted
tonight they would be held until
Gordon. who was captured and
placed in Jail late today by the mob,
can be taken by the mob to the
scene 1t is the mob's announced
intention then to lynch all six.
More than 1000 persons packed
the court house square here tonight
and demanded that Gordon be
turned over to them.

COMMITTEES OF
500 NOT ABLE TO
REFORM A CITY
Bishop Shaylor Declares No
Worth Much in Raising
Standard of People.

No city can be reformed by
Committees of 500'," declared the
Rt. Rev. Ernest V. Shayler, Epis-
copal bishop of Nebraska, yesterday
morning at All Saints church. "Such
movements soon lose their life and
the movers their interest.
The wild mob of last Sunday
evening proved that COMMITTEES of
500 are not worth much in raising
the standards of the people. You
can't make people or a community
good through politics or politicians,
through legislatures or congresses.
Efforts to do that have left us fac
ing the blacklist of problems.
"You must reach the human heart
first and put into it the love of
God. ......
Blot to Live Long.
Those youths of II and 10 years
who led the mob into the court
house and in the lynching of the
negro have left a black blot upon
the fair name of Omaha which will
not be erased during your lifetime
or mine. And those youths were
the product of un-Christian educa-
ton.
you will continue to produce
such mob men as long as you sit
secure in your own snug little world
and let theachurch drift on. While
men recognize no power except
that of the dollar, while they sneer
at Sunday school or think it mere
ly 'women's business, while, in
short, they neglect God and live
only for self, they are living in a
fools pafadise. You are in a measure
responsible for the outrages of last
Sunday night. The church is you
and the church is I. The church is
what we make it and unless we
arouse ourselves and our fellows
who are asleep on the edge of the
volcano, Omaha will be plunged
into darkness and confusion where
the darkness will be blacker and the
confusion worse confounded even
than it has been in tire past"
Many other clergymen in Omaha
churches preached upon the riot OF
last Sunday.

Washington, Oct. 5.-Capital, la

Monday in a conference called by
President Wilson to consider in

\ A basis of cooperation between
the three great elements in the life

toward eliminating strikes and 9TH

result of the deliberations.
The only discordant notes so fai
has been the opposition of the rail

which would allow the four brother

WOMEN MUST LEARN
TO WALK LIKE PELICAN.

Paris, Oct. 5.-While the autumn
skirts are little longer than the
modes favored during the last three
or four years, they are much mar
rover, and the introduction of the
pannier imparts a graceful bunchi-
ness on the hips The new skirt re-
quires new walk.
For several years." said a
dressnaki,lg authority, women have
enjoyed the freedom of their limbs,
and the effect is noticeable in the
masculine stride of the modern girl.
With tine narrow skirt action will be
restricted, and we shall have once
more the short steps of the hobble
skirt. With wider hips, however, she
will gain in grace what is lost. i'll
freedom. The new walk will BE like
the walk of a pelican-rhincing but
graceful, deliberate, yet dainty, and
always aliur;ngly feminine"

RAIN GIVES SOX
REST; TOPLAY AT
CHICAGO TODAY
Fifth Game of Worlds Series
Postponed by Heavy Deluge
Williams to Pitch.

Chicago, Oct. 5.-Rain fell here
heavily today and soaked Couiskey
park to such an extent that it was
impossible to play the fifth game
of the worlds series between the
Cincinnati Reds and the Chicago
White Sox.
4 The sun came out in the after
noon and the game will be played
here tomorrow unless there is a
further deluge.
The poStponement was of no ad-
vantage to the visitors, as Manager
Moran planned to pitch Hod Eller,
who has not yet had his inning in
the box, but to the bruised and bat
tered Sox, who have lost three and
won one of the games played so
far, it was boon, because it gave
Claude Williams, who was beaten at
Cincinnati last Thursday, another
day of rest and Manager Gleasoon
had intended to send him into the
box today.
In the series to date the Sox have
scored but six runs and only one of
those was Of the brand known as
earned" The hard-hitting Reds,
on the other hand, have accumu-
late IS runs. partly earned and
partly prohteered.
Attendance Figures. ~
The attendance for the four
games was l23,690 and the total re-
ceipts $384,290. OF the receipts the
players get $227,516.60, the, clubs
$138, ,344.36 and the national commits
sion $38,42o.04.
As most Of the Sox have homes
here the en- forced idleness
found them happily situated. but the
Reds spent rather restless day at
their hotel playing cards and din
ing. For the most part they
planned to visit theaters.
Five games remain to be played
if the full schedule is required, but
Manager Moran and the Cincinnati
fans believe that the full route will
not have to be traversed. With a
three-game lead. the Reds believe
they have crushed the American

GARY STRIKERS
, ATTACK WORKERS
ON STREET CAR
Police Also Assaulted When
They Arrive on Scene to
Quell Disturbance.

Gary, Ind, Oct. Slate to-
night 800 state troops were
brought to Gary from Indiana
Harbor and East Chicago, where
today Adjt. Gen. Harry B. Smith
. of Indianapolis modified IL COM
panies of national guardsmen,
following minor disturbances to-
night which came on the heels of
rioting last night. One man was
reported shot tonight.
Striking steel workers thronged
the streets and literally thousands
of union pickets were active.
Disturbances occurred at two
points.
Garys streets were crowded today
and the entire city was overhung
with a spirit of unrest following the
rioting which broke out Saturday
night with its threat of recurrence.
At nightfall no militiamen had
reached Gary though II companies
had modified at East Chicago, Ind,
and four of the companies had been
SSlil Iliuid1d 1ldl DOi.
The Gary company of state militia
was not called out though they were
notified to hold themselves In readi-
ness for active duty.
The Saturday night rioting oc-
Cured when a street car bearing. a
few workers to the steel plant was
blocked by freight train at street
crossing.
A crowd of strikers who had at
tended a mass meeting were also
blocked. The strikers converged on
the car, pulled down the trolley and
attacked the workers inside. Severe
injury was done to the workmen
and police who arrived were also
attacked, the crowd becoming
larger as more police and special
policemen were summoned.
Prepare to dig In."
Pittsburgh, Pa, Oct. 5.-As the
steel strike entered upon its third
week, the union workers prepared to
"dig in" for a siege, while the steel
companies arranged to make an
other attempt to start up idle plants
tomorrow morning.
By newspaper advertisements and
personal appeals, the companies
have put forth efforts to get suffici-
ent menAback. to start LIN some Of the
works that have been suspended
since the strike began. Secretary
William F. Foster, of the national
strike committee, said he was con-
fident that the companies would fail
and that the ranks of the organiza-
ton would hold firm.
ITS only another attempt to
scare our men back to the job" he
added. "We are digging in and
feel sure we will hold our ground"
Preparations to begin operations
to begin work tomorrow have been
made in plants at Wierton, Donora,
Monessen, Braddock. Rankin, Shar-
on and in the city of Pittsburgh. In
some instances companies will not
make an attempt to start up until
sufficient men indicate their desire
to return to work to properly oper-
ate plants.

Burglars Use Daring Ruse
to ProWI Home of D. A. Hart

Four men held up d. A. Hart at
midnight last night at the door OF
him home, 5002 Pratt street, and
after searching the house. drove
away in a large touring car without
taking anything.
Hart answered a knock at his
door shortly before midnight. A
young man told him his car had
broken down and he wanted to use
the telephone. When he started in
to the house he pressed a revolver
to Hart's stomach and ordered Hart
to throw up his hands. Three other
men followed the bandit into the
house. They turned out the lights
and used flashlights in searching
the house. Every nook and cor
ner was examined by the quartet
but nothing was disturbed or taken
The police think the men were
looking for liquor.
