MOB TAKES TOLL
OF 1924 in 80
YEARS in NATION
South Has Largest Number of
Victims With 1884; "Onc
Crime" Grows Less
By Associated Press.

New York, May I'm the last 80
death by mobs, according to n report
made public to-day by the National
Association for the Advancement of
Colored People.
For the thirty years period from
1889 through 1918, the North has had
219 victims. the South 2.S34, the West
1856 and Alaska and other localities
fifteen.
Fifty colored women and | Whit
women were lynched in IA States,
the report says. Thirteen of the /
States in which women fell victim,
to mobs were Southern States, Ne
braska being the only State outsid
the South which lynchcd women. The
North and West together have
lynched Fl young persons during tn
last five years period, whereas during
the same time 30i persons werv
lynched in the south
Ignore Wilson'S Appeal
Regarding President Wilson's ap
peal to State Governors and othc
civil officers to prevent lynchinS, the
report says:
Despite President Wilson's earn
est appeal, made under such extra
ordinary circumstances, lynchings
continued during the remaining pc
riod of the war with undated fury.
sixty three negroes -- five of WHOM
were womcn-and four white mcf
fell victims to mob ruthlessness dur
ing 1918. and in no case was an,
member of the mobs convicted in any
court and in only two instances We're
trials held. In both of these instances
the mob members were acquitted"
In conclusion the report says:
1T is apparent that lynchings of
negroes for other causes than the so
called one crime have for the Who'll,
period been Il large majority of nj
lynchings. and that for the last fv,
years less than one in FIVE of the col
ored victims have been accused of AT
tICks upon women"

moneys to be received from Ger
many.
Count Shows Feeling
Germany's delegation exchanged
credentials with Allied representa-

The city of Munich, held by So
Wet forces, has not yet been taken
hy German government troops in

ment concerning the settlement of
the Kiao Chau dispute effected by
the Council of Three of the Peace

Five Peace Chapters Finished
The Treaty of Peace comprises
from fifteen to twenty chapters, ac-
cording to Marcel Hutin, of the
"A contained in the first chapter, set
~ting forth the reasons why the vari-
Gus contracting parties entered the
war and mentioning the necessity

changes in the sovereignty of terri
tory. The fourth sets forth the mill
tary, naval and aerial clauses and
the fifth takes up the disposition of

Concludes With Guarantees
The other chapters are not yet

questions and will deal with the in
q. ternational labor legislation treaty.
The treaty concludes with a. chap
