THIS week CITIzEN Ms CHANCE TO .
HELP BOOST FUND FOR AUGUSTA
TEAM AT BIG BASEBALL CARNIVAL

In six weeks time the Augusta
baseball team will be playing some
worthy opponent in the opening
game Of the season in this city. The
team that Ben Houser will select to
represent Augusta this year will
probably have few equals in the
semi-pro ranks of New England.
Last years team caused the name
of Augusta to travel to many dis
tant states and the games in this
city attracted fans from all the cities
and towns of the kennebec valley.
Such a team as this cannot be
supported entirely on what is taken
by roadside solicitation. If all paid
it would be different. There are two
kinds of spectators at the ball game.
Those who come across and those who
do not and ought to be sent across the
river. And so it comes to this-a
fund to fall back upon throughout
the season. Well, that is being
taken care of this week at City hail.

HON. FRANK G. HARRINGTON
GIVES STRONG ADDRESS ON
MANHOOD AND WOMANHOOD

Address a Feature Of Saturday Eve
ming Meeting at Which Senior and
Junior Groups, Children of the
American Revolution, Entertain
Daughters Of American Revolution
Very Enjoyable Literary Pro-
gram, Followed by Dancing
The various qualities that make
the highest types of manhood and
womanhood were spoken of Satur-
day evening by Hon. Frank G. Far
rington in an address on Manhood
and Womanhood." at a meeting of
the Children of the American Revolu-
ton which was held at the Girls
Community Club House. Both
groups of the G. A. r. combined in
entertaining the members of the d.
A. r., there being a good attendance
from both societies.
Mr.. Harrington said that he felt
that the destiny of the world de-
pended upon the United States and
that the destiny of he United States
depended no less on the character
OF the boys and girls of today. 1t
is Mr.. F'arrington's belief that if
enduring peace comes to the world,
it. will be through the United States.
One of the most necessary qualities
for the good of the boy or girl is a
strong body Some have weak bodies
and some do not, but nature often
compensates by giving the one with
the weak body, the stronger intellect.
| However, it is possible for the ma
jOrity of the boys and girls TO build
themselves strong bodies and to this
end they should put aside all habits
that do injury to the body.
| A trained mind is another neces-
sary quality. Mr. harrington said
that the boys and girls present at the
meeting are in training just as much
as the soldiers who were in training
at Camp Devens during the war, and
| the greatest weapon that is neces-
sary in life.
| The speaker said that these things
might be called tangible qualities,
and that beside these there were
others which played a great part in
the making of the finer type Of man
| hood and womanhood. These include
determination or strength of purpose
to say mo" He said that it often
required great determination to say
| mo" or to persist, in fact OF the
rdicule of others. and one cannot be
| the best kind of a man or a woman
| unless this quality is present in their
makeup.
Honesty IS another factor that is
| necessary to build good manhood and
womanhood. The speaker said that
he had often heard distinction made
between lies. some, being called
white lies while others are called
black ones but he could see no diff
| ference between the one kind and
the other. This fact of honesty is the
one thing upon which our system
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1922-05-08

Of credit is founded and this is SO
cannot be stilled.
Loyalty must be present. loyalty to
schools, parents, and things believed
right loyalty to all is necessary for
the best that is in one.
Ideals are also necessary, as with
Mr.. Harrington said that II one has
ideals he is sure to get somewhere,
like sailor who steers toward the
north star. He does not expect to
reach it, but by its aid he will reach
a safe harbor.
Devotion to work is essential in
the development of the boy or girl
because If they are not doing their
best they are making it impossible to
| make of themselves the best type of
manhood or womanhood. All meet
with tasks that are irksome but it is
necessary that they devote them
selves to the work and make it a
pleasure. For those who will do this
there is always a place in the world,
but those WHO will not, meet with
many disappointments.
A sense of justice which will tenn
FER our Judgment Of others. and
thoughtfulness to make the world q
better place in which to live are
other qualities taken up by the
speaker.
All these things are necessary In
tho Anya1nnyp nj 81 ln ~
and there are three other things that
should not be forgotten. These arc
love Of home and family, love of
country and love of Cod. Mr.. Far
rington said that he often thought
that these last three things were up
permost in the mind OF the soldier
who was waiting to go over the top
| in the great war and that he felt
| that they were just as necessary for
those who are going over the top of
| life.
Previous to the fine speech by Mr.
harrington. a short patriotic pro-
gram was presented by the mem bers
| of'the c. A. r. This was as follows:
America" sung by all: salute to the
! flag. by Miss Louise Tracey; Amer
ica's Creed" by members Of the
junior group of the c. A. R.: What
{ the c. A. r. Means to the Future, u
by Charles Whiting.
| Mr.. Whiting said that the c. A. r
helps by preserving records Of value
for future generations, it arouses in
terest in the things that past genera
tons have done and it promotes a
| love of country. There is also the
social side of the society. many fine
times being held during the course VI

| Children of the American Revolu-
ton Is founded by lineal descendants
of the Revolutionary patriots in or
der to preserve their memory. their
| records, their history and all facts
relating to their ancestry for pos
terity."
After the speech by Mr.. Earring
| ton, the remainder of the evening
! was devoted to dancing. music being
furnished by Hewitt's orchestra. Re
freshments Of ice cream and cake
were served during the evening.

REPORT HITS
MINE OWNERS

Washington, May 6-Reportlng the
Bland bill for creation of a fact
finding commission for the coal in
dustry, the House labor committee
declared today that the principal
work of the proposed agency would
be to settle disputes in the coal
fields, to prevent ver-deyelopment
of the coal industry and to bring
about sterilization.
ut is a startling statement, but
true nevertheless" said the report,
that today there is no agency in
the federal government which has
ascertained or can ascertain the cor
rect production cost of ton Of coal
in a we'll operated efficient mine.
Legal Right to Facts Denied
Not only have existing agencies
failed to obtain information from an
unbiased source, but they have been
denied the legal right to obtain such
information and from the source of
Information at hand it would be i'm
possible with the limited amount of
expenses and effort for any commit
tee of Congress to obtain this infor-
nation"
Operators" the report added,
have obstinately refused to give the
committee their cost of production
and it is fair to presume that such
reports as were made voluntarily to
existing government agencies who
did not have the right to examine
books were padded and unreliable"

much ovsr-developed. In the belief
Of the committee, the report de-
clared, adding there were approx

Burn 3 Negroes
at Stake in Staying
of Girl in Texas

Kirvin, Tex, May 6-(By A. P)-
Three negroes We're burned to death
| at the same stake here at o'clock
this morning by a mob of 500 men,
following their alleged implication in
! the criminal assault and murder of
17-year- odd Eula Awsley, white girl,
whose mutilated body was found near
| here Thursday night.
"Snap" Curry, the first negro burn
! ed, was taken from the custody of
Freestone county officers early last
night as he was being conveyed from
Workman to some point west. 1t is
alleged that he confessed to the mob
/ that he had assaulted and murdered
the girl and that in his confession he
| implicated the two other negroes. j.
II. Varney and Nose Jones.
The mob Invested the sheriff Of his
keys to the Freestone county Jail,
where Jones and Varney were being
held as suspects. Hurrying to the
Jail, the mob unlocked the doors and
took the two negroes in charge. All
three negroes were then rushed to
kirvin. the home of the dead girl, and
ground on a small square in the heart
of the town. Wood was accumulated
and saturated with oil.
Curry was burned first, then Var
ney and Jones. There was some delay
in burning the last two inasmuch as
they steadfastly maintained their in
nocencc.
Third degree methods failed to
bring a confession from them and
they We're finally crematod on the
strength of Curry's testimony. After
the third negro had been burned to
q crisp all three bodies were piled to-
gether and mass Of fuel and oil was
flung over them. This was ignited
the flames soaring % or 80 feet in the
all.
Mob Disperses Rapidly
The mob dispersed rapidly and as
| day dawned there was only few per-
sons remaining to witness the after
math of the triple cremation.
The negroes were employed on the
farm of j. I. King, prominent farmer
of this community and grandfather of
the dead girl. King was present at
the cremation.
| There was no discharge of firearms,
although it is understood the bodies of
! the negroes were mutilated before be-
ing tied to the stake.
| With the exception Of few shouts
and the screams of the condemned
men there was little to disturb the
early morning quiet OF the backwoods
community. The riot where the burn
ing took place is in front of two
churches. One of the negroes is said
to have died singing q church hymn.
Miss ,Awslcy was riding her horse
home from school. several miles from
kirvin, late Thursday when she WAS
attacked. Her body was later found
near the road with % knife wounds
in the head. neck and chest.
! This is the first triple lynching in
| Texas within the recollection Of the
present day residents.

Juvenile Minstrel Show
An Added Feature for
Mrs. OdiOrne'S Exhibition

In addition to the beautiful classic
dancing. character and ball room
dancing which will be a feature of
Mrs. Odiorne's exhibition to be given
in City hall on May 10. she has de-
cided to put on the Juvenile Minstrel
show which was a part of her spring
exhibition in Bangor. For this pur-
pose II children. including the lend
men" and the interlocutor, will come
over from Bangor to take part. The
balance of the cast will be made up
from Mrs. Odiorne's Augusta pupils.
This show made an enormous hit
in Bangor and was pronounced the
cleverest amateur production ever
staged in this State. A Juvenile
Minstrel show is a new idea and en-
tirely original with Mrs. Odiorne. 1t
is staged exactly like grown up
minstrel show, with songs. dances
and local hits. The children who
took part entered into it with an en-
thusiasm which many professionals
would do well to emulate and the IL
who are coming over are prepared to
take the leading parts in a manner
which will be quite a surprise when
compared to the usual standard of
amateur acting.
Bangor papers pronounced it the
best of many fine exhibitions staged
by Mrs. Odiorne and said 1.-THE end
men kept things humming from
start to finish" and that "every num-
Der was real hit" Portland papers
mentioned it as q remarkable per-
Torrance and already Mrs. Odiorne
has had several requests to produce
this Juvenile Minstrel show in other
cities.
