LYNCHING DECLINES

The Commission Race Relations announces in
its annual report that As attempted lynchings
prevented in the year 1924. Lynchngs have dropped
from 81 in 1914 to only 16 in 1924
Two chief reasons for this improvement are given.
One is the effective work of public officials in
protecting threatened prisoners from mobes. The 9TH
is the steady growth of public opinion against lynch
ing particularly in the south.
This great gain in the prevention Of lynchings
seems the remarkable in view of the shockingly
high murder rate. If mobs be prevented from kill
ing the victims of their wrath surely greater success
should be possible in preventing private sayings.
Public opinion which has weight against the mob
should also have weight against the gunman the pos-
oner and theft like at least to the extent Of deDriv-
ing them # tl4eir weapons.

World Famous Naturalist Will
Stop in Cody June 10Th on
Return from the Coast

The Park County Rod and Gun
Club is to have the pleasure and pri-
vilege of entertaining DR.. William T.
Hornaday about June &c at which
time he will be in Cody, probably &C
companied by Superintendent Horace
Albright.
B. C. Rumsey has received a let
ter from DR.. Hornaday stating that
he intends to visit Cody on his return
from a sportsmen's meeting in Seat
tie. He will spend a few days in the
Park with Mr. Albright and then
come on to Cody.
1t is the intention of the Rod and
Gun Club to entertain DR.. Hornaday
at a dinner, and those who wish to
attend are requested to notify Otto
Koenig so that the Club will know
how many persons to prepare for.
DR.. Hornaday, who is the head Of
the New York Geological Gardens
and probably the best known natural
list in the world, has devoted his life
to the cause of preserving the game
animals and birds of America. With
out monetary considerations or any
desire for glory, he has fought a reso-
lutte fight for many years and done
more than any man in the country
toward obtaining the passage Of laws
for their protection and arousing the
public to the importance of seeing
that these laws are enforced.
The people Of this section. to whom
the big game and the game birds
mean so much. should turn out strong
and give this distinguished visitor a
cordial welcome.

Mr.. Bolton stated that the Ohio
company was on the ground and
ready to start to work Immediately if
the council would clear the boards so
that they may ask for a franchise.
He said that his company was in a po-
sition to pipe the gas into Cody and
lay the mains in time for next win
ter's consumption, but that the sixty
day delay which would be caused by
the existence of the Freeman-Hanli
option would make it impossible for
his or any other company to get gas
into Cody before next winter.
Several citizens spoke to the meet
ing and asked that the council re-
tract their action of the first, or to
shorten the term in which Mr.. Free
man was to report to ten days. A
resolution to this effect was introduce
ed by councilman Stump, but was laid
on the table, no action being taken
for lack of a quorum at the meeting.
The council commended that action a
long this line would not be fair to Mr..
Freeman, who was at the time in Den
yer, and could not be heard in his own
behalf.
Representatives of the Ohio COM
pany told the council that they had
made APPLICATION to the Public Utility
Commission for certificate of convent
ence and necessity, producing a letter
from the commission stating the certiH
cate would undoubtedly be issued as
there was no contest.

The news that J D Woodruff had died at his home in Sho-

friends that this fine old man, the last of the early pioneers of Wyo-

He was held in the greatest affection and esteem by those who
