sheriff Johnson became a candidate

the state constitution provides that a

Mob in Minnesota
 Bent On Lynching

Duluth, Minn., June 15.-A crowd estimated at more than 2,500 persons late tongiht stormed the Duluth county jail in an effort to secure six negroes arrested early today in connection with an alleged attack on a white girl last night.
 At 10 p. m. several persons had managed to get into the jail. Eff forts by city fireman to disperse the mob by playing water on it failed.
 Four lines of hose were taken away from the firmen by the mob and turned on the police. Stones and sticks were used to break wind dows, and members of the mob crawled into the jail. At 10:20 D. m. efforts were being made to batter down the steel doors leading to the cell rooms, and it appeared only a matter of minutes before the crowd would succeed.
 The attack on the girl is alleged to have taken place last night at the circus grounds here. The ne- groes, employed with the circus, were rounded up by the police after the girls story had been told. Four other negroes, it is said, were ar rested several miles from here and were being brought to Duluth to- night.

Chicago, June 13.-"How did you
 feel, Senator" asked one of the
 early birds, who caught Senator
 Warren c. Harding in the corridor outside his room at the Hotel La Sale shortly after the nomination
 was announced.
 "Well," replied the senator, a
 broad, slow grin lighting his tired face, "you know how fellow feels
 who holds a pair of eights and has to stay in and draw full. You understand the language?'
 "What are you going to do now?' was the visitors next question.
 "Well, even a candidate must feed. Haven't had anything to eat since this morning"
 A man who had room close to the senator's on the second floor of the hotel said he did not think the senator went to bed at all. At dawn he passed the room and there was the candidate, sitting, possibly watching for the coming of the morning star of fame.
 Senator Harding stepped easily, naturally into the throbbing light of the worlds publicity. His first move was to seek a quiet place. He tried to avoid the reporters and friends. His friends checked him out of the hotel and he moved to a room of the American Protective Tariff League. He was at the Col iseum when the Tightening struck. At the moment he was shaking hands with Dr. Nicholas Butler in the National Committee room of fees. Mrs. Harding was in Fred Upham's box, keeping tally as the roll of states was called. Her hus- band went on to the hotel ahead of her. An hour later, when it was all over, she joined him. Perhaps they thought of the glory ahead. Or perhaps their minds ran back to the days in the little print shop in Marion, O., where they worked to- gether to get out the Star"
 Later he held little reception in his room. Ohio politicians crowded in. Senator Edge of New Jersey was one of the early visitors.
 Reporters began to gather. The house detective took position down the hall. Two policemen were installed, something precious was under the roof. He must be watch ed. Even as the nominee, Senator Harding already has more power and prestige than many ruler. filled the hall with smoke. Mrs. Harding came out, genial and smiling, ready to be photographed.

RECORDS IN RAINS

Suva, where the Prince of Wales landed on his visit to Fiji, has heavy rainfall during the hot sea- son, and one recent downpour de- livered 33 inches of rain there with in twenty-four hours. This formi- dable record has been surpassed in only two places-at Cherrapunji, in Assam, which once had to bear with 40 inches of rain in one day, and at Luzon, in the Philippines. In July, 1911 it rained for four con secutive days at Luzon, and the American official rain gauges reg istered 34 :64 inches the first day, 2999 inches the second, and 1873 the third and 789 inches the fourth total of 89.25 inches (more than three times the average rainfall at Greenwich for the four days. Just before the arrival of the deluge, American engineers had completed great military road passing thru Luzon, at a cost of two million dol lars. At its opening one of the speakers proudly said that it would endure until the Pyramids crum- bled into dust" But the one rain storm almost entirely obliterated fifty miles of the road from the surface of the earth.
 Cherrapunji used to be considered the rainiest place on earth, until D. H. Campbell of Stanford Univer- sity, formulated a claim for that unenviable distinction on behalf of Waialeale, in the island of Kauai Hawaii. According to MT. Campbell during the five years 1912-1926 inclusive, an average of SIS inche:
 (as against 426 at Cherrapuni) were measured at Waialeale, which is seldom free from rain clouds while the downpour from them il almost continuous.

NORTHWESTERN GOLF
 JOURNEYS SEPARATED

PORTLAND, Ore, Sept. 10-The amateur and open championship tour naments of the Pacific Northwest Golf Association are no longer to be held at the same time and places according to a decision of the Asso- citation Tournament Committee.
 The action was taken, according to members of the committee, be- cause of the rapid growth in recent years of the entry lists. The entry list reached the high-water mark at the recent tournament in Vancouver, B. C.. where it was found necessary to utilize two courses.
 As a means of further reducing the entry list in the amateur cham piOnship tournament, the committee decided to limit entries to players on an eligible list to be prepared by the association. Players not on this list are to be invited to participate i'll a handicap tournament held simul- taneously with the championship.
