to attend dinner at the White

of discussing the rate situation. 1t
is understood that the President
will ask the transportation chiefs
to consider the possibility of adj
justing freight rates downward as
a voluntary matter, because the in

membership is said to have con-
cludcd that it cannot legally com

TO consider what can be secured
in the way Of satisfactory rate
policy. Similar conferences were
hal last summer and fall.
Two scmi-iudiciul government
bodies have jurisdiction in railroad
regulation. The railroad labor

commission, in the fixing of wage
rates which enter into operating

40 EXTRA SESSION OF LEGISLATURE.

Governor Morgan does not pro-
pose to assemble, the Legislature of
West Virginia i'll extraordinary Scs-
sion at an early date for the issu-
0nce of additional millions Of road
bonds or for any other purpose, un-
less an emergency warranting such
action makes it Imperative to call
the lawmakers together, according
to friends of the administration.
The administration has no
thought Of an extra session at this
time. it is said, for the following
reasons:
First-Thr regular legislature
meets next January.
ScCond-Thcre is no specific in
lc:n.;ttioh to impart to the lcgisla-
turc concerning the taxabie values
that would enable it to limit the tax
lcvieS Of the State.
Third-Thc funds now in the
hands OF the State Road Commits
sion are sufficient to enable that
body to make substantial progress
on the States system of hard roads
until the legislature assemblies in
regular session.
Fourth-rhe Willingness of bond
Ing houses to enter into binding
contracts to absorb future issues of
road bonds at less than 5 per cent
interest rate indicates their belief
that the present. bond market will
be maintained.
FIftH-lsSlancc of bonds at this
time means an increased tax rate.
when there is demand for de-
creased taxation.
SiXth--States and individuals
when given access to unlimited
.unds are apt to develop, conscious
/! or uEcOnaciOuHly, IN cXtravaSanl
attitude.
ScVcntll--llaStc makes waste and
the development Of the State road
system should be continued pro-
grcSsivciy but not hastily.
While the Governor will make no
public statement in reference to
the matter beyond the rcitcration
OF what he said at Wheeling some
weeks ago, that he had no present
intention Of calling the Legislature
IN special session, members of the
administration who have conferred
with the executive says that the
propaganda recently scattered ask
ing for additional road bond issues
has not convinced the Governor
that the present situation is an
emergency within the meaning of
of the constitution which confers
upon him the preogrative of as
sembling the Legislature.

DOUBLE OUTRAGE n TEXAS.

Three negroes were burned to
death at the same stake at Kiryin.
Texas. last Saturday by mob of
o0O men following their alleged i'm
pllca;ion in the criminal assault
and murder OF 17-ycar-old Eula
4AwSley. white girl, whose mutilat-
cd body was found there Thurs
day night.
"Shap" Curry, the first negro
burned, was taken from the Gus
tody of Frccstonc county officers
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 hc implicated the two
other negroes. J. Ii. Varney and
Nose Jones.
The mob diveStcd the Sheriff of
his keys to the Frcestone 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 an iron stake driven into
the ground on a small square in the
heart of the town. Wood was as
formulated and saturated with oil.
Curry was burned first. Then
Varney and Jones. There was
some delay in burning the last two
in as much as they steadfastly main
tanned their innocence. Third da-
gree methods failed to bring Il con-
fcssion from them and they were
finally crematcd on the strength
of Curry'S testimony. After the
third negro had been burned to a
crisp, all three bodies were piled
together and Il mass of fuel and oil
flung over them. This was ignitcd.
The flames soaring % to 80 feet in
the air.
The mob rapidly dispersed and
as day dawncd there was only a few
persons remaining to witness the
aftermath of the triple cremation.

EARLY DAYS IN CALIFORNIA.

The wave of criminal activity
which has swept over the larger
cities of the country has extended
to the California cattle ranges, and
cattlemcn throughout the State are
organizing TO battle a band of rust
Icrs who have revived practices of
the early West.
AT least such is the deduction
made by f. T.. Leighton, attorney
for tine State Department of Agri-
culture, following disclosures at
the trial Of an alleged cattle thief
in Visalia, when it was developed
that one leather firm had purchased d
Sl,7OO worth Of hides from the
agents" Of the ruStlers.
Traces of brands used by various
cattle ranchers in California are
said TO have been discovered among
the hides. One member of the band
already has been convicted, another
has confessed, and another is fac
ing trial. One Of the trio, "Syca-
more Bob" was arrested at a mo-
ton picture ranch by under
ShcriffS. From one cattlcman it is
learned that the cattle owners also
arc rcvcrting to the practice Of the
old wcst-"thc law Of the six-shoot-
cr.''
