NORMAL CONDITIONS
!. IN DULUTH TODAY
AFTER LYNCH|NGS
tBy The Associated Press1

DULUTH. MINI, June 16.-Virtu-
ely normal conditions prevailed in
the Duluth business streets, over
which a mob<of 5000 persons surged
last night sweeping the police from
power and seizing and lynching three
negroes held in connection with an
attack on a seventeen-year old white
girl.
When two companies of Minnesota
National Gu" rdsmen reached here
early today they found only a dam
aged police station end Uttered streets
as visible evidence of the mob's at
tacks. The lynchings were accom-
plished after the city police had been
overpowered by bricks and streams
from fire hose in an attack upon the
city's police he dquarters. For at
least two hours the mob ruled, only
relinquishing its power after the
negroes had been lynched.
Six negroes had been arrested by
the police in connection with the at
tack on the girl, which took place al
a circus ground Monday night. The
negroes were attached to the circus
81 roustabouts. The mob held mock
trial, declared three of the negroes
guilty and acquitted the other three
who today still were in the hands OF
the police.
The three convicted" negroes were
hanged within a block and a half oi
the police station; the mob hootine
down plers of two priests that the
law be permitted to take its course
1t took three st rts to hang the first
negro, as the rope broke the first two
times.
After the mob had dispersed early
today the police cut down the bodies
of the negroes, which had not beer
mutilated.
Injuries suffered by eight policemen
and a newsp per man in the brick anC
fire hose att ck on the police station
were said not to be serious.

CAMPAIGN PLANS
tBy The Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, ID. c., June 16.-
Senator Harding, Republican candi-
date for President, announced today
that he had had a general discussion
of his campaign last night at a din
ner with > a number of Republican
leaders. They included Senator
Harry c. Lodge, of Massachusetts,, the
Republican leader in the Senate; Sen
ator Smoot, OF Utah; Brand gee, of
Connecticut, and Hall, of New Mexico
I'VE discussed the state of the coun-
try, the condition of the Republican
party and the platform which we
adopted at Chicago" said Senator
Harding.
Asked about reports that the peacd
treaty and the League of Nations
would be the principal topics dis
cussed in his speech of acceptance,
Senator Harding said he had the feel
ing that public sentiment makes a
paramount issue rather than the
judgment of any party candidate or
party manager.
The Senator said he knew nothing
of any plans for the formation of a
Ihird 'praty and consequently had
nothing to say on the subject.

HOME FOR AMERICAN
LEGION GETS IMPETUS
Unexpended Balance Of Over
$4,000 Of Soldiers Home Com
ing Given In Trust
COMMITTEE SO DECIDES

Impetus has been given the idea of
headquarters for the Annapolis Post
OF the American Legion, through the
action taken at meeting of the mem
bers of the committee which had
charge OF the Welcome Home" cele-
bratiOn OF the soldiers of Annapolis
and Anne Arundel county upon their
return 10 their homes from the battle
fields in France. In other words the
Welcome Committee" has decided to
turn over 10 the American Legion, a
fund OF $3,144, in trust towards the
purchase of a home.
More than a score of this commit
tee who have been the most active
in general way, gathered last night
I'm the City Assembly Hall. and dis
cussed at length the several questions
presented. looking to a final settle
ment as to what TO do with this fund.
In the meantime at least three sug
gestiOns had been made as to its dis
position One was to establish, and
HAohihN AOi AAiN hphSNP OAf "a AAShAOA ieAi
room at the Emergency Hospital,
where disabled, or sick soldiers, or
members might have a proper place
TO go for treatment. Another was
to erect a suitable monument at some
conspicuous place about the city.
However, sentiment steadily crystal
lized in favor of the home PROPOSE
tion for the American Legion. Moth
ers of many of the soldiers even took
an interest in the matter, and they
showed a preference for a home. not
alone for the members of the local
Legion, but also for visiting ex-sery-
ice men from time to time.
The $3,144 fund is, therefore to be
turned over TO the Legion in trust
for the purchase of a home. Mean
while, the suggestion has been made
that someone, imbued with the pa
triotic spirit, and owning a property
regarded as well adapted for the uses
it would be put, might help the cause
by selling at lower than what such
property would otherwise bring.
