DELAWARE REEVES
THE WHIPPING POST
iny The Associated Press,

Wilmington, Del, March 26.-At
New Castle county workhouse to-
day four negroes felt the sting of
the Delaware whipping post law.
Those whipped were known as Ted
Lewis, convicted of larceny and
sentenced to one year in prison and
twenty lashes; Leonard Barrett,
highway robbery, ten years and
forty lashes, and John Richardson
and Horace Archie, highway rob-
tbery, ten years and forty lashes
each.
Only by occasional flinching did
the prisoners give evidence of phys
ical suffering.
The total of 140 lashes was the
largest imposed at the whipping
most in this country for many years.
The tendency of recently enacted
laws has been to permit more dis
erection in the courts in respect to
imposing corporal punishment.

RINGL EADERS OF BOMB
PLOT IN ITALY HAVE
BEEN CAUGHT, BELIEF

Rome, March 26.- All indica-
tons point to the bomb explosion
in the Diana theater in Milan, in
which thirty-one persons were
Killed and 100 others injured, as
having been one of a series of ter
lorist outrages carried out through
out italy by anarchists.
The police believe this to have
been proven by the explosion Of
three bombs on the railway line
between Botagana and Milan and
one on the Adriatic line near FanO,
together with two dynamite eX-
plosions on the Turin Genoa line
and one under a railway bridge
near Vicenza. The arrest of many
anarchists MAS led the police to
think they have captured the rim"
leaders.

Rail Wages and Rates.

A special meeting OF the Eastern
Presidents Conference. composed OF the
chief executives Of all roads north OF
the Ohio River and east OF the Missis-
sippi River, will be held at noon on
Thursday in the Metropolitan Club. AS
in the meeting of the member roads OF
the Association of Railway Executives
in the Grand Central Terminal, sched-
uled for Thursday afternoon, the dis
cussion Is expected to centre around the
concurrent reductions in railroad wages
and freight rates decided on by the ex-
ecutives In Chicago on October IA. No
date for the conference Of two hundred
operating officials of the Eastern car
riers who are busy gathering statistics
on living costs and wages In other in
dustries preparatory to calling confer
ences with their employees to propose
new reductions in wages, has been set.
1t is believed, however. that that meet
ing will be held In the latter part OF
this week or early in next week. and
will be followed closely by the necessary
thirty day notices to the workers.

A Subject for Argument.

As sizeable profits have been accurnu-
lated on paper by traders In stocks and
bonds since the midule OF August, de-
bate has arisen in brokerage offices
about the disposition OF those accre-
tons during the next few weeks. One
party maintains that the conversion OF
paper profits into cash is likely to be
light prior to December 81. and the
probability that realizing sales will be
moderate in volume is counted on as
something to stimulate sentiment on
the buying side The other party holds
that reluctance to have profits figure
in income tax returns. which would
happen on sales of stock before Decem-
ber 81, Will have little to do with the
volume of business. The latter argu-
ment is based on the knowledge that a
lot of traders who had excellent profits
late in 1920 but elected to hold their
stocks finally saw loss and will not
run chances again.
