at close range
Mrs. McLane was alone in her
home with her son, Robert, IA
years old; a niece of the same age,
and her baby, less than year old:
She awakened at midnight and
went to the kitchen to heat milk
for the baby. she told police. AS
she was retVning with the milk
she was confronted by a negro, who
came out of the bathroom. He
seized her and attempted to force a
gag in her mouth, which she says
smelled strongly Of chloroform.
For Gods sake, let me 60" she
pleaded; Il have plenty of money
"All right. I'll take the money
first" said the negro, releasing her.
She went into her bedroom, pro-
cured her husbands revolver, re-
TUNED to the door, and fired several
shots at the negro, who fled through
the back door, she says.

through the window which he had
reached by using a ladder. Both
women are friends of Mrs. McLane.

CITIZENS OF
BUDAPEST LIKE
RATS IN TRAP
Roumanians Have Denuded
Entire Country of
Supplies.

Budapest. Sept. 13.--It is inpos-
sible to say which has had the worse
results, the Roumanian occupation or
the grand dukes coup. One has
brought the whole economic situa-
ton to the ground; the other has eff
fectually prevented any sound po-
litical issue.
Rich Peasants.
Supposing the city of Budapest did
not exist the solution would not
be difficult. Hungary would be a
purely agrarian state. ruled by an
ollgarchy of feudal landed proprie-
tors under nominally constitutional
monarchy. The Hungarian peas
ant, inert and rather bovine, is I'M
likely to resist a reversion to the
old system. In this country of rich
peasants, the standard of living
under the old regime was compare
lively high, and land hunger was not
dominant motive. Such feudal
agrarian state would not have much
difficulty in efecting close relation
ship with Roumania. The feudal
Roumanian boyars have a common
interest with the feudal aristocracy
Of Hungary.
Are All Socialists.
But Budapest does exist. Upon
this single fact every reactionary
scheme is bound to be shattered.
A city that has now population OF
over a million and a half--in peace
time one million-cannot be ignored
in a nation of only six millions. Its
working class is socialist to man.
Still less can such city be ignored
under the circumstances to which
all Central European cities have
been reduced.
Explosion Coming.
Once Roumanian pressure is re-
moved, there is bound to be an enor-
nous explosion, SO excited IS popu-
lar feeling. Business men are
prophesying a second social revolu-
ton more enduring than the last
Diamandi, the Roumanian envoy, is
here in conference with the allied
generals. A serious Roumanian eff
fort is being made toward personal
union between Roumania and Hun
gary under the same crown.

MOB HANGS TWO
MEXICANS FROM
BRIDGE IN PUEBLO
Victims of Lynching Were
Charged With Murder Of
Policeman.

Pueblo, Sept. l3.-Jose Gonzales
and Santos Cortez were taken from
the city Jail tonight by a mob OF
armed citizens, driven in an automo-
bile to the Fourth street bridge,
near the city limits, and hanged. The
bodies were found As minutes after
their capture. Lynching followed ar
rest of the two Mexicans, charged
with murder OF Patrolman jeff
Evans.
The mob leaders used strategy to
get the police officers off their
guard.
Riot Call Sent In.
A riot call was sent i'll from the
steel works district and the patrol,
loaded with officers, hurried to the
scene. As soon as the wagon was
out of sight the mob quietly marched
to the city hall, committee
marched into the office, covered the
desk sergeant, Gar Nc Cafferty, with
revolvers and commanded him to
turn over the keys to the jail cells.
They then forced him to remain
quietly in his chair while they went
into the cell room, took the two
Mexicans from their cells and to
the street. Here a portion of the
mob piled into automobiles with
their prisoners and sped away for
the scene of the lynching.
Upon reaching the scene of the
supposed riot and finding nothing
amiss. Night Captain Sinclair, i'll
charge of the squad Of officers, sus-
pected a ruse and ordered the patrol
to head for the city hall with all
possible speed. He found that the
mob had been there and gone.
Search for Mob Too Late.
Hoping that he might overtake
the mob, the captain summoned his
officers to get back into the patrol
and a search for the mob and pris-
oners began. When the officers
reached the West Fourth street
bridge the mob had disappeared and
the officers found the bodies of the
two Mexicans hanging 20 feet apart
from the girders of the bridge. Both
were dead.
1t was reported earlier in the eve
ming that the two men had been re-
moved to the county Jail for safe
keeping. 1t was learned later that
the sheriff had taken them back to
the city hall, where persons called
in to identify them could do SO more
easily.
The lynching was conducted in a
heavy rain storm.

Shortage Of Teachers
Caused by Small Wages

St. Louis, Mo-, Sept. l5.-There
is a shortage of about 1000 teach
ers in Missouri and almost that
many in Kansas, according to a
statement of DR.. w. ]. Hawkins,
field secretary of Washington Uni
versity.
DR.. Hawkins attributes the scar
city primarily to the meager sal
aries being paid teachers. Com
mercial and manufacturing firms
have drawn heavily on the teach
ing force also, he says. He estl-
mates that about 100000 vacancies
exist in the United tSates.

tainly averted great disaster, but
it has done nothing positive to Sc
cure its future. On the contrary,
the main and most dangerous strug-
gle has only entered on a new phase.
The class question has emerged
everywhere. and has taken the most
violent forms. 1t is kind of sit
uation in which former civilizations
have gone down. The problem be-
fore us is harder than that which
we have solved, and the war upon
our hands more deadly because
more insidious and penetrative than
the war that is over
The writer of the above gave it as
his belief the "cool good sense in
the mass Of people here and in
France" would prevent civil war
and bloodshed and finally restore
social peace.
A somewhat similar article by "A
G. G." editorial contributor of the
London Daily News, Liberal
newspaper, says:
ASSOCIATED with this disquieting
phenomenon lavish governmental
expenditure is the shadow of a new
and perilous class war, fomented as
we have seen in Parliament by at
ternpts to create prejudice against
trades unionism and labor generally
by reckless charges of bolshevism,
and by the disclosure of provocative
circulars from the military authori-
ties in regard to use of troops in
case of riots.
"On the other side, labor is sus-
picious and distrustful. 1t has lost
faith in Parliament, and. conscious
of its power, is tempted to follow
the perilous path of direct action.
That path can only lead to anarchy
and the end OF government"

NO EVIDENCE OF
PR0FITEERINC
IN DES MONIES
County Attorney Asserts That
He Will Not Call Special
Session of Grand
Jury.

Des Moines, Ia. Sept. l3.-(Spe-
cial Telegram County Attorney
A. c. Rippey announced today that
there is no sufficient evidence
against prohteers here to warrant
an investigation by the grand jury.
Prosecutors would be unable to
get convictions, the county attorney
continued. "We rely entirely upon
the state Investigations and even
these, so far, have notp roven any
prohteering which would warrant
US to lay the facts before the grand
jury"
Spread in Prices Probed.
Members of farm organizations
and sentatives of labor unions
are inaugurating an investigation of
their own into the causes of the
wide spread in the price which the
farmer receives for produce and
that paid by the consumer. Plans
for this investigation were made
during state fair time, when Presi-
dent F. A. Garfield of the Iowa
State Federation of Labor met with
representatives Of farm organiza-
tons. Data is now being gathered
both by labor representatives and
farmers as to prices charged the
general public for foodstuffs in
many of the cities of the state and
the prices received by the farmers
who sell the produce. This data will
be laid before conference to be
held at the Wellington hotel, Octo-
Der /. Some method whereby the
abuses in marketing farm products
may be corrected will be sought.
War on Auto Violators.
Eighty-three citizens were ar
raigned in police court and paid an
aggregate of $435 in fines for vari-
Gus violations of the automobile Or
dinances, including speeding, cut
ting corners, operating cars with
cutouts open, parking in the prohib-
tied zones and similar offenses.
Chief of Police Al Day has declared
war on all violators of automobile
ordinances, and is threatening po-
licemen with suspension if they neg
lect to arrest all violators. A recent
accident in which a 6-year-old boy
was killed on the east side aroused
the chief and he declared all auto
ordinances are to be enforced to
the limit. Jail sentences are being
given by Judge Bonner in some in
stances.
Almost Mob Policeman.
Policeman Kinney Sloan was al
most mobbed when it is claimed that
he struck young boy with a club.
The father of the boy and two of his
neighbors have preferred charges
against the officer. He declared the
boy refused to obey him when he
sent him home.
To Fight Corn Borer.
To save the middle west from all
invasion next season by an insect
known as the European corn borer
which has destroyed thousands of
acres of corn in the New England
states and in New York this season,
congress will be asked for $2,000,-
600 appropriation to fight the insect.
This is the word brought back by
Prof. f. B. Ball of Ames, state en-
tomologist, from a conference of en-
tomologists just held in New York
state. The entomologists investi-
gated conditions about Albany, N
Y, where all area more than 400
miles has been infested. The infected
district in New England is more
than 1900 miles in exten.. If the
insects should find their way to the
middle west they would ruin the
corn crop, Prof. Ball states.
