GOV. MORROW IN FAYOR
OF AUTOMATIC RENO
VAL TO FIGHT MOB LAW

Frankfort, KY, March 23-Speaking
about the recent lynching at Nersal-
les, Gov. Morrow told newspaper re-
portcrs that an automatic removal law
which allowed no appeal was one OF
the prime necessities i'll checking
lynching.
He said: "Of course | do not know
the facts as TO the conduct of the
taller at Nersailcs.' said Governor
Morrow. but the lynehing illustrates
the need OF making the anti-mob act
really an automatic removal law.
There should be 10 means of appeal
for reinstatement where peace Of
ticer surrenders a prisoner to a mob,
but do you know we had to fight
at the last Legislature to prevent the
anti-mob law being passed with a
provision under which the peace of
ficer removed by the Governor might
appeal to the local courts for rein
statement. thus throwing his case
back into local politics"
The Governors offer OF $500 for
arrest and conviction OF each member
of the mob is the legal limit. 1t is
believed at.least fifty men participated
in the lynching. The Governor eX-
pressed satisfaction at having received,
finally, the formal request from
County Judge Mulcahy, without which
he could not offer the reward.

ENGLAND WORRIED
over AGITATION
IN india


London, March 23-Britain today
is about to come face to face with a
situation i'll India corresponding close
ly to the one she now faces in Ire
land The British War Office is at
tempting to withhold the news from
the world, but it is gradually leaking
out.
The entire country is being stirred
by the teachings of an energetic and
able agitator, Mohandas Gandhi. He
does not advise the use of force, but
peaches instead, native boycott.
He tells his countrymen to deal as
little as possible with the European
invaders; to keep out of the British
controlled courts, to keep their chill
dreti out OF British-controlled schools
and to organize courts, schools and
other institutions of their own. much
as Dali Eireann has done in Ireland
Against this doctrine the Mahara-
iah of Kolhapur protests. He pleads
with the British government in India
to abandon its passive attitude and
smash the non-co-operative move
ment." For, he declares, if non-co-
operation succeeds "the whole system
of ruling princes will disappear"

WHITES LYNCH MAN FOR
KILLING COL 0RED WOMAN

HATTIESBURG, Miss, March 3.
Reports reaching here from Walthall
County concerning the lynching OF
Arthur Jennings by white men in re-
venge for the murder OF a colored
woman are arousing much comment.
People Of this section are unable to
interpret the motives of the lynchers
if the report is true. Was it because
of some clandestine relation OF the
woman to one of the lynchers? Was
it mere bloodthirstiness on the part
OF the lyncherss Or was it because
the South is forsaking her old policy
of protecting white womanhood and
has gone to protecting all woman
hood? The question will probably re-
main unanswered
The jailer is said to have been over
powered and his keys taken from him.
Jennings body was found hanging
from a tree next morning.

BIRMINGHAM, ALA, March.
%. = Disdaining the usual for
malities of presenting his check
at the cashiers window and draw
ing upon his account in due form,
an unknown gentleman of color
employed a heretofore unheard
of method of withdrawing funds

Entering the First National

hours when the banking house
was jammed with customers, he
calmly inserted his hook-shaped
cane into the pile of currency,
withdrew enough to take care of
his immediate needs, and made
hasty departure without leaving
sufficient details of description to
identify him by.
Officials of the bank say that
they cannot estimate the loss un-

is made.

Immediately available, and will remain
available until expended. The com
mission is also to have power to sum-
mon witnesses whenever it sees fit to
