KENDALL is WITHOUT POWER
Chairman Of the Car Service Connie
sion Said to be Unable to Take
Definite Action.

Kansas City-A deadlock has been
reached in the attempt OF banking,
grain and business interests to obtain
adequate relief in the matter of grain
cars for the Southwest. As the situa-
ton now stands, according to local
grain men, Kansas City and the
Southwest territory rapidly are near
ing a condition that may be dis
astrous.
Although virtually every one con-
nected with the car situation in the
East admits there is a serious short
age in this section, none has made
any real attempt at relief, ". R.
Scott, transportation commissioner
of the Board Of Trade, declared yes
terday. Grain dealers say this is sim
ply a matter of. passing the buck
between officials of the interstate
commerce commission and the Amer
lean Railway Association.
According to statistics available
here the amount Of business done by
the railroads has increased enormous
~ in the last year. The amount done
in March, 1919, was $3.50, 1000, 900,
while that Of March. 1920. was $51s,-
600, 000 This has been caused great
~ by the return to normal conditions
Of industries curbed during the war.
These industries are besieging the in
terstate commerce commission and
the railroads for more cars, causing a
shortage all along the line.
Local banking interests, however
while they recognize this condition
claim the local need is paramount to
all others, as grain is the most impor-
tant food product and any restriction
of it's normal production viii work q
worldwide hardship. They ask that
the commission take the cars from the
sections of the automobile industry
manufacturing pleasure cars and from
other lines whose products are not an
essential and send these cars to the
Southwest
They say, however. that the com
mission is afraid to make such a de
cision, fearing the cries Of protest
such a priority ruling would precipi
tate. They add that the need here
jority assert that it will not be recog
nized until the threatened crisis has
been reached.
It was said that W. c. Kendall
chairman of the car service commits
sion of the railway association, could
not take definite action, as he merely
is the figurehead of the railway!
without any mandatory powers. The
only body that can bring about the
necessary relief was said to be the
interstate commerce commission, it Il
claimed.
1t was also said that $4,000 cars
would be needed for the remaining
portion of the 1919 crop alone anc
nearly $4,000 for the new. If the OLE
crop is not moved soon virtually 10,
100000 bushels of grain will be worth
less, due to fnroads made by rats and
the lack of proper storage.

Jail at Duluth, Minn.. and
Put to Death.

Men Were Accused of Attacking Young
White Girl on Show Grounds
Three Released.

Duluth, Minn.-Three negroes were
hanged by mob here after a battle
of several hours between throng esti-
mated at five thousand persons and
the police and fire departments.
The negroes were accused of attack
ing young girl at a circus grounds
here. They were rounded up by the
police and placed in the city Jail, ad-
joining the police headquarters.
Early at night a crowd began gath
ering near the Jail and within a short
time had swelled until the streets in
all directions were blocked. The fire
department was called out to aid the
police when it was seen that an at
tempt would be made to storm the Jail.
Mob Seized the Hose.
Several streams of water were turn
ed on the crowd. but it surged forward
and took the hose away from the fire
men, turning the water against the
police.
Stones and sticks were used to break
the windows of the Jail and members
of the mob crawIed through. Soon af-
terward the steel doors were battered
down and six negroes, held in connec-
ton with the crime, were dragged out.
The mob's vengeance was tempered
with semblance of justice, however,
Court" was held on the negroes I'D
it was decided that three of them we're
not guilty, while the other three should
be put to death.
The mob then proceeded to carry
out its own verdict The first negro
was taken from the police headquar-
tiers at Has o'clock and marched two
blocks to the corner of First and Sec
over a telephone pole and he was
yanked into the air. The rope broke,
however, and there was a delay of a
few minutes until another one was OBJ
tanned
Then the hangings took place &C
cording to the program and soon the
three negroes were dead.
Not a Shot Was Fired.
Not a shot was fired during the bat
tie for possession Of the accused men.
The mob contented itself with using
sticks, stones and the fire hose as its
weapons. The three men acquitted in
the mock trial were turned back to the
police and after the third of the ne
groes hanged had been pronounced
q, cad, the leading ellen ents of the mob
die~ersed, leaving only big crowd of
! spectators at the scene.
