THREE LYNCHED BY 4 MOB IN FLORIDA Fourth Negro Is Found Shot to Death Later in Day at
 MacCIenny
By Associated Press

MacClenny, Fla, October 5.-Three negroes Rayfield Givens, Ben Givens and Fulton Smith, charged with being ivsp3icAfed in the murder of John Har- vey, weil-known young farmer of Baker county, last Saturday night were taken from the Baker county jail by band of armed men at l o'clock this morning and lynched.
 Sam Duncan, another negro, was found shot to death in MacClenny later in the day. It is not known whether Duncan was implicated in the murder
 The blacks removed from the jail were taken to the outskirts of Mac Clenny, tied to trees and shot to death. It is stated there were about fifty men in the band which suddenly appeared at the county jail, overpowered Sheriff l.. s. Wheat, secured his keys and got the negroes out of their cells.
 Jim Givens, the negro who is charged withS having fired the shot that killed Harvey, escaped It is believed his capture is only matter of few hours.
 Harvey was shot to death at Knapp s turpentine camp. After the killing the negroes escaped but three of them were captured and lodged in the MacClenny county jail. Although feeling ran high against the blacks, it was not believed an attempt would be made to lynch them as the negro charged with the actual killing was still at large.
 MacClenny was quiet tonight and no further trouble was expected unless Jim Givens was captured

 o7i.o Firsf National Rank Puitdinu

Montgomery, october 5.--(Special)- The American Railway Express Com pany will appear before the public service commission at special ses sion October l2 In support of its neti tion for an increase of twenty-five per cent in express rates in Alabama. This petition was filed several weeks ago, but it could not be reached at the reg ular session this week because of cases which had been filed before it.
 The commission also announced m other special session September l9, at which the petition of the Seaboard Air Line for permission to make changes in it's passenger trains between Birmng ham and Atlanta will be heard
 The railroad is asking the change in order to afford shoppers more time in Birmingham.
 Another cas- etc be heard at this time is the complaint of the Green Lumber Company of Louisville that the Cen -ral of Georgia railroad is discriminating against it in furnishing cars.
