| YNCHINGs IN l923 MAKE HEAVY DROP
AIabama's Record Clear, Ac- cording To Report Of Tus- kegee Principal

TUSKEGEE, Ala, Jan. 1.-(By the Associated Press. in the United States decreased more than half during 1923. as compared with the record of 1922, according to figures compiled here by Dr. Robert Moton, principal of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial institute. Dur ing 1928, lynchings numbered 2S, as compared with 57 for the year 1922, the statement announced.
 Alabama failed to register a single lynching.
 , Mississippi and Florida led in num- Der of lynchings with eight each, the report found. Seven other states re- port lynchings as follows: Georgia, four; Arkansas two; Texas, two; Vir- ginia, one; Missouri, one; Oklahoma, one, and Louisiana, one.
 Every lynching occurring during the year was in a southern state, it is found. according to the report, with 26 of the number negroes and two whites. Two women were among the victims of mobs.
 The report of Dr. Moton further shows that there were 46 instances in which officers of the law prevented lynchings, 40 of these cases being in southern states and six in northern states.
 Thirteen of the persons lynched were taken from the hands of the law, seven of the number from jails and six from officers outside of jails, it is said. a
 Seven of the number put to death were charged with assault or at- tempted assault, one-fourth of the total number; three were charged with murder, two with murderous as- sault. two for wounding an officer of the law and others for various vio- lations of law.
