LABOR MOB AS BAD
 AS LYNCH PARTIES
Is Born of Deliberation and Spirit Must Be Eliminated, Says Speaker to Bar Association; Officers
 Named.

Cincinnati, O., Sept. 2.-Impartial annihilation of the whole poisonous pestilential brood of what generally is called the mob spirit, is the only guaranty of national safety, Luther z. Rosser of Atlanta, Georgia told the American Bar Association in an ad- dress on the illegal enforcement of the law this morning.
 Lynching, he said, will cease only when negroes stop their attacks on white women and when the white peo- pie reach such stage of self control tha they can restrain themselves in favor of the law-two things that are too deep-seated to be met by the law alone but must be met by an awaken ing of public conscience and the up- lift of the two races.
 But lynching, he added, was only one phase of the mob spirit that ifs constantly and industriously laying the axe at the root of government" 1" Labor mobs, tho different in their in- eeption and makeup, were declared to be just as inimical to the safety of the nation.
 Born of Deliberati0n. The lynching mob is born in a whirlwind of passion and survives but a day." he said. 'In the presene of armed forces, it sinks away in the darkness and dissolves in terror.
 "The labor mob too often is born of deliberation and preparation. It often lives long enough to exert it's cor rupting influences upon legislation and administration and to secure the uni versal object of all such mobs. Too often in defiance of arms and con- stables, it continues it's work of de- struction and murder"
 "Lynching, he declared, "is only one of the germs. To attack one, and leave the other one to safely thrive is governmental suicide. Humiliation, not dallying, is the only guaranty of national safety"
 Election of officers and the annual banquet to be presided over tonight by Chief Justice Taft of the supreme court of the United States were the principal features of the final days session of the convention.

ARKANSAS OLD SOLDIERS GET MORE
Each Confederate Pensioner in State Will Receive SIPS This Year Roll Grows Constant
 ly Less.

Special to The Star
 Little Rock, Sept. 2.-Each confed crate pensioner in Arkansas will this year receive $125. There is total of s.9S2 pensioners on the roll, as com pared with 9,546 in 1920 and 9,991 in 1919. There were several hundred new pensioners added but the number dropped from the roll by reason of death greatly exceeds the increase.
 The last legislature appropriated S1,15O, 900 out of the pension taxes for 1921 and $1 ,25o,00 for 1922, total of S2.4OO, 900 for the biennial period, as compared with $2,204, ,7z6.14, which was distributed to pensioners for the years 1919 and 1920. In accordance with a law passed by the last legis- lature. inmates of the Confederate Home are paid an allowance of $500 each per month, or S60 per year, and the board set apart $10,000 for this purpose.
 The last legislature passed an act authorizing the Pulaski county pen- sion board to grant pensions to sey- eral widows of confederate soldiers residing outside the state. The board however, refused to allow these pen sions. There is not single pension being paid to an nonresident pension CT.
 Recently J. B. Wilkes, a veteran from Cleburne county, died in a coun- ty institution in California. Among his effects, found in his pocket after his death, was warrant for $100 is- sued to him in 1918 and which had never been presented for payment. It appears that the veteran was not aware of the fact that he possessed this amount of money. The attention of the state audior has been drawn to this matter and the warrant will be cashed in favor of the pensioners widow, who is now in Texas, but who still claims Arkansas as her home.
 It frequently occurs that warrants issued by the state are not delivered to the pensioner for some reason and often considerable time elapses before they are presented for payment. Only last week one warrant was presented for sl00 that was issued more than year ago.

cry one of the 160 stockholders re- ceives back all the money invested, a 5000 foot test well was drilled without finding oil, at cost of S75,- 900 and the company closes it's books clear of debt.
 The company was organized in De- cember, 1918, the stockholders being mostly farmers, John s. Finn of Elmo acting as secretary and manager. The farmers gave leases on their land, A. 800 acres in all and put in the bank $35,000. Half the acreage and $15,- 900 was paid to driller to sink B. 900 foot well, all being in escow until the work was done The company held a half interest in the well, eighty acres at the well and S80 acres scat tered over the leasehold territory.
 The we'll was a complete failure, as was every one of the twenty other wells put down in this country in the past two years. But the company sold enough of it's share of the leased acreage to bring in S1s,000. This was paid out on the wells cost in cash and the running expenses. At a meet ing a few days ago 95 cents on the dollar was paid to the stockholders and their leases cancelled. The treasury holds enough to pay the bal ance of the investment and perhaps a small dividend.
 Most of the stockholders had con- sidered their S35.000 lost. Oil men say it is the only instance on record where an unsuccessful well was drilled without the stockholders losing a doi-

In The Dalles

The Dalles, Or, Aug. s0.--After
having defied death thousands OF
times In acrobatic stunts SO daring
that picture companies
filmed them for exhibition all over
the world. Douglas D. Clark Fri
day night died in The Dalles from
q mysterious malady which local
doctors were unable to diagnose.
The disease that caused Clark's
death is new to local doctors, ac-
cording to DR.. A. B. Stone, who,
with two other physicians, treated
the case. Death was brought about
by paralysis Of the vocal chords
and throat muscles. accompanied
by swelling which filled the
throat and brought about strangu-
iation, according to DR.. Stone.
Douglas Clark or Dare Devil
Doug" as he was commonly
known, was in Salem on July 25
with Captain Charles r. Parmalee
giving exhibition flights. He per-
formed all the neck-breaking
stunts knows to his trade and is
one Of the most daring ayiators on

Are
Raped By
Robertson

That French propaganda in this
country today was but half truths,
which amounted to lies and that
our foreign trade with Europe
will decrease year by year because
of the Indebtedness Of countries
there to this nation, was the con-
tention OF C. A. Robertson, speak
ing before Commercial club mem
bers at their luncheon, Monday,
on conditions in Europe. Mr..
Robertson Is the legal representa-
tive OF the Ford Motor Car com
pany on that continent.
There are allowing their negro
troops to police their colonies, and
possessions" stated the speaker, In
speaking OF the French. "and are
permitting them to destroy the
sanctity of home life. One family
in Syria paid 10000 Syrian pounds
to be thrown into jail SO that their
girls would be protected.
In referring to the English gov.
ernment, the speaker said that
openness and fair dealing marked
that nations rule In Egypt and
Palestine.
"The British government is SO
anxious to have the natives treat
ed fairly. that they have gone
little too far In the restriction of
theIr officials"
He upheld the United States in
regard to the signing of the treaty
of Versailles, and stated that this
country did right in Withholding
its approval because of the inter-
national hatred caused by the
change Of boundaries which the
treaty would have promoted, and
with boundary questions interna-
tional peace could not be hoped
for.
Europe is going to get along
without American products until
she gets on her feet" said the
speaker. "Italy might buy our
wool, IL we can sell 1t In competi-
ton with that OF other countries.
She Is too poor to buy our fruit,
and she is using stone instead of
lumber"
The Irish question, he stated,
would never be settled with De-
Valera taking such a stubborn
stand against the British govern
nent.
