ASK GRAND JURY
P R D BE Of
LYMCH|NG
Prosecutor Spurred. to Act
to Save Community's
Good Name.

EXCELSIOR SPRINGS, No.,
Aug. S.-Spurrcd by the attitude of
business men of Excelsior Springs
who today declared the lynching yes
terdny of Walter Mitchell. negro, ac-
cused of assaulting Miss Maude Holt,
Is. daughter of n wealthy Lawson,
Mo-. farmer. would give the French
Lick of Missouri bad name"
County Attorney Raymond Cummius
announced today he would ask Judge
Ralph Hughes TO call a special grand
jury to investigate the action of Che
mob. Judge Hughes is now on his
vacation.
The county attorney said he would
also ask the attorney general to assist.
JUSTICE DONE.
The statement of Cummins followed
al earlier statement by Attorney Cen
cral Robert w. Otto at Jefferson City,
TO the effect that his department ordi-
narily would take no part in such in
vestigations until it became evident
county authorities are negligent in
bringing in the leaders.
The attitude of Clay county Off
cials throughout the day was, however,
that justice had been done and that,
with "the best people of the county"
in the mob. it would be impossible to
get evidence on which a grand jury
could indict.
This was summed up in Cummins
statement earlier in the afternoon that
everyone is so positive justice has
been done it appears impossible to
find prosecuting witnesses"
Business leaders of the commission
unity insisted throughout the day,
that the mob was led by farmers Of
Lawson and the surrounding country
side and that Excelsior Springs people
were not concerned.
REMEMBER OLD CASE.
Over the action of the mob hangs
the ghost of what Excelsior Springs
calls the leniency shown to Lonni AZ
'front.'. convicted Of robbing and beat
ing two aged sisters in 1920. A mob
needed a plea to let Affronti be tried,
For two years he kept out of prison,
and was finally sent to the peniteI-
tiary, where he was made trusty
and recently was allowed to 60 to
Kansas City without guard.
81 could have saved Mitchell yes
terday," said Cummins. 'if the mob
had not remembered Affronti's case
G. n. Holt, father of the girl, and
her brothers have dismissed the lynch.
ing from their minds. They did their
farm work as usual today and were
silent.

CALVES ON IS
SECOND PORT
IN AMERICA
Ranks Next to New York
in Imports and
Exports.

GALVESTON, Aug. S.--Galveston
AGAIN ranked as second port of the
United States during the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1925, from the stand'
point of combined value of imports
and exports, the basis upon which the
Department of Commerce ANNUALLY
rates American ports.
This is clearly indicated by fig
ures from the bureau Of customs sta
tistics at New York which show that
the first eleven months of the fiscal
year recently ended, the Galveston Gus
toms districts foreign trade value TO.
tai exceeded that of New Orleans and
its SUPPORTS by S112,S01,0O0. June,
the only missing month, will alter this
standing but little. 80.
Galveston's exports for the eleven
months totaled S699, 235.000 and inn
ports were valued Mt S3S,SOS,OOO, the
approximate compilations show, Civ
ing this district foreign trade valu-
alton of S73S,043,O00. On the other
hand, New Orleans exports were valu-
ed at $423, 4SS,000 and her imports at
S2O1, 1854, 900, giving that district a
combined total of but S625, 152, 900.
SHOWS AN INCREASE.
Complete figures OH foreign trade
from the Galveston district for the
entire fiscal year, as compiled by Rob.
ert W. Humphreys, collector, show
Galveston's foreign trade valuation 70
tai for the year to have been SI6l,-
956,522 gain over the preceding
year of S179.27S, 1875. Exports were
valued at S720, 444,9 Ola, an increase of
$40, SO, 449 over the preceding year,
while imports were volued at $41, 511,-
COS, a gain of $S,45S, 746 over the year
before.
Figures for the entire fiscal year
on New Orleans traffic have not yet
become available here but, as shown
above, represent eleven months trait
flee.
GALVESTON is SECOND.
Official ranking Of American ports
by the Department of Commerce,
which were made on basis OF the
combined value of foreign commerce,
is computed on n basis of calendar
and not fiscal years. Galveston was
thus ranked second to New York ior
two years successiyely-1923a and 1921
and the standing for the fiscal year
indicates that 1925 will be added 10
the list. Several times prior to 1928
the Galveston district also ranked Sec
ond.
Year in and year out, however, Gal.
weston is always second export port of
the nation and the leading cotton port.
With the favorable rates recently
granted to Texas ports by the Inter
state Commerce Commission, it is ex'
pected that Galveston will receive q
large amount of foreign commerce now
moving via New Orleans.
