 Simmons escaped from the place by jumping into an automobile truck parked in the street and fled. The crowd, which had hastily gathered in the business section of the city when news of the staying was carried there by another excited negro, gave chase and captured the slayer sev- eral miles down the road.
 He was brought back and lynched within 50 feet of the scene of the murder. Before his death he declared that he had been employed by a white man, for whom he sold moon- shine, to shoot Bryant, who had been active against bootleggers. In re- spCnse to a telephone call, which said further race trouble was feared Sl'eriff Allen and several deputies and Chief of Police Quigg of Miami rushed to Homestead in automobiles. They arrested a white man, J. 2. Anderson. He was brought back and lodged in the city jail. No formal charge has been preferred against hIm.
 Homestead was quiet tonight and a search for two other negroes has been abandoned. Simmons Is said to have confessed before he WAS lynched.

DENY PEGGY MARSH
 ENGAGED TO WELLS
Report Of Engagement Is Only
 Joke Born In Cabaret

NEW YORK, June 15.-Serious enough in Minneapolis to bring his millionaire father to the pier. the Engagement" of 20-year- old Tommy Wells to Peggy Marsh, the pretty British actress, was only joke born m Paris cabaret, during the rosy hours of early morning. it developed Friday.
 With silk en mustache cultivated abroad, and a serious cast of counte- nance induced by frantic cables and wireless messages from his worried parents, young Wells arrived Friday on the George Washington.
 Its all rot-I mean to say, It's all a mistake" was all the young man would vouchsafe before he dashed off to meet his father, wait ing in an uptown hotel. Tommy made it quite plain. however, that he is net engaged to Miss Marsh.
 The first inkling of the true ori- gin of the report that the son of the wealthy Minneapolis grain merchant was engaged to wed the actress, who had previously tried to obtain a share of the Marshall Field estate for her small son, came from Tom my's father, Frederick Wells. after he had dined with the youth and completed a heart-to-heart talk.
 "The cables about my sons en- gagement to Miss Marsh seem to have had no more substantial basis than a little jest. a few words ut tered in a joking mood" declared the older Wells Tt is laughable that anything said in a boulevard cafe at a. m. should be taken seriously.

0PT|M|STS OPPOSE MOVE TO ABOLISH CL J b'S EMBLEM
St. Louis Delegation Storms Down Proposal To For-
 sake "SmiIing Face"

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, June 15.- A storm of protest over the proposal to banish the smiling face" as the emblem of the optimist clubs, and a characteristic address by Judge Ro- land w. Baggott, of the court of do- mestic relations, Dayton, Ohio.. fea- tured today's sessions of the Inter- national Optimist clubs convention.
 When the plan to change the em- blem was presented by the commit tee, the St. Louis delegation started tempest, saying that large amount of money had been spent by the club of that city in preparing advertising matter carrying "smil- ing face' After heated discussion it was voted to postpone decision un- til all clubs could view the various emblems submitted by the commit tee and the emblem receiving the largest vote will be adopted by the International Optimists.
 Introduced by Optimist Nolen of Dayton as splendid Jurist, golf player, sportsman and politician. Judge Baggott refuted the statement by saying: T never play golf-l y swear terrifically. I am not real politician because l only get two votes-the one I cast myself and the one my friends give me-"
 Takes Bays Part.
 Judge Baggott, discussing the de- linquency of boys, said that few were criminals at heart and that boy can explain anything to his own en- tire satisfaction. Relating an incl dent before his court and delivering a thesis on the word "durn,' the judge said that the use of this word when boy used it, indicates that he is regular he-boy, not the kind who never gave his mother an ln- stant's worry in his life, but will worry some other woman into her grave"
 Judge Baggott rapped people who are always criticising the young for their jazz music and their bobbed hair, saying that he thought the girls of today are the cutest looking things in the world with their short locks, and that girl could not be called bad because she followed fashion in dressing her hair.
 There is too great tendency in this world to try to make everybody else as good as we think we are, said Judge Baggott. Why, a man in Kansas the other day tried to pass bill prohibiting women over 45 using powder and rouge. Well, if woman does not need paint and powder a1ter she Is 45, in heavens name, when IS going tO need it ?"

 In carrying out the campaign for better county sanitation, pr. J. D. Bowling, health officer, has already begun survey of sewage for the county, with inspectors collecting data over the entire county.
 Before this month ends a check will be made of the water used by communities throughout the dis trict. W. A. Hardenburgh, sanitary engineer, who is directing the field work, said Friday an expert is to be detailed to the water survey. Samples from all sources of com munity supply will be analysed. Particular attention will be paid to communities supplied through pipe lines where the source will undergo rigid inspection not only at the in take, but the water is to be traced, where other than well, to it's source. Simple and economical safety measures and precautions will be recommended to firms and com munities in charge of such water supply. County authorities believe from past experiences the remedies will be applied

proper sewage disposal in Jefferson county.
 MT. Hardenburgh said the problem in getting prompt attention for san itary improvement recommendations is making the improvements eco nomical, that it is easy to suggest expensive methods of handling such improvements, the real thing is to show how betterment can be had at small cost.
 The work being done and about to be started is a part of the general sanitary campaign in which the county health authorities have suc- ceeded in seeing installed thousands of septic tanks and outbuildngs for the premises of homes not having connection with water flushed sew CTS. In these improvements Jeffer son county citizens have done more than the rest of the entire state and have set mark for cleanliness and sanitary improvements that is being held as the best example of taking hold and getting things of the kind done in the entire country.
 Health authorities plan to use the experts who will make the survey as tutors for other employees of the department, those less well informed being sent on the inspection trips to gather information.
