Youth Braves Mob
ToSave His Mother
From Lynching

BAY ST. LOUIS, Miss, Sept IL.
L ANP)-Because he feared I o r
the safety of his mother, against
whose life threats of lynching were
made, Silas Richardson, who 10 days
ago shot his way out of the county
Jail here, was again in custody of
local officers, Monday. and sent TO
Jackson for safe keeping.
Nearly two weeks ago Richardson
was arrested on an auto theft charge
and was placed in the county Jail.
When the chief of police, accom-
panied by John Dambrino, white, en-
tered Richardson's cell to search him,
the youth is said to have drawn a
revolver, shooting Dambrino through
the head and seriously injuring the
police chief.
Richardson told officers today that
he escaped to New Orleans the same
day by way of a freight train. While
there he stated that he gained en-
ployment, working under his same
name. 1t was there also that he read
in the papers that he was being
sought and that threats of lynching
his mother and other relatives were
being made back in Bay st. Louis.
Last Sunday Richardson entrained
for his home, where he reioined his
family. He was arrested when a
neighbor reported to officers that he
had seen a queer something jumping
from the window.
All through the week several packs
of bloodhounds and infuriated white
| n,en secured the countryside il
search of the alleged slayer. Polic'
say that Richardson offered no re
sistance and was captured withou
/ the least difficulty. He told polio,
that while he was fleeing blood
hounds came within two yards o

WASHINGTON, d. G. = With
something of a shock, many persons
recently read of the outcome of the
marathon races Of the Olympic games
in Holland.
The marathon was won by a
brown skinned Algerian. A dark
skinned Chilean was second. Two
yellow-skinned Japanese finished
fourth and sixth. The best the white
race could achieve was third and
fifth places.
widespread astonishment was oc-
casioned among those who common
ly attribute to Nordics biological
superiority.
Was the marathon result a chance
one. that would not be repeated in
an average succession Of games? Or
has any racial group scientific
right to impute to itself inherent su-
periorities? These questions instant
ly arose.
Universal News Service sent re-
porter to DR.. Alex. Hrdlicka, white,
Of ID. c., renowned authority on
races, and this is what DIR. Hrdlicka
said:
There is no scientific basis for the
oft-heard Inherent superiority" of
the Nordic people. IL
They should be given all possible
credit for their participation, in its
front ranks, of present-day oiviliza-
ton. .-4
But to attribute to any human
group an inherent superiority Of
brain or finer blood than those Of the
rest of mankind is proposition
which could only be established by
| the most convincing scientific proofs
"Such prominence as the Nordics
have attained is seen, on closer view
| to be due to series of favoring con.
editions, and may, II history repeats
| itself, prove not lasting.
Beginning with the South and
progressing gradually northward, ons
human group after another In th<
past has flared into prominence, t
retain it for shorter or longer time
and then invariably to be replaced
BY a fresher group.
Human progress is not straight
but a relay race. The fresh youtl
starts, does his best, and then com
mences to slacken and to need rest
at which the burden is taken over b,
the next fresh runner. -.

 Not long ago the American Society of Newspaper Editors met in Washington, D. C., and hypothetical story was pre- pared to see what reputable newspapers would do with it. "A prominent business man, large advertiser, social leader, philanthropist, is in an auto mobile accident with a woman who is not his wife; a reporter finds out that the two had been in a roadhouse together and had been drinking before the accident; but the police are willing to hush up the whole affair.""
 It was the consensus of opin- ion among the editors at the conference that the newspap- er's first duty was to it's sub- scribers and that the story should by all means be pub lished, but that it should be handled straightforwardly, without bias. and without | playing up it's sensational feat ures.

ARCH ST. PROBLEM IS UP ONCE MORE
Widening of Street Coming
 Before Council

The movement for widening Arch street will be set in motion again tonight when property owners will ask the common council to take steps in that direction.
 Two years ago. merchants and property owners formed an associa- l. ton with the object of bringing about a wider highway and eventu- ally the plan reached the common counciu. It was forwarded to the board of public works, with the recommendation that a layout be made and that the board of com pensation and assessment be asked to fix damages and benefits. The | board of compensation and assess- ment decided to advance the plan farther to the west than the Grand street line contemplat d in the original petition and report was made on the property as far as Webster Hill. Protest by property owners who had received no notice of the hearing complicated the mat ter, and it is probable that the plan will again start from the beginning.
 Ossian s. Bennett and Max Unkel- bach consulted city officials at city hall this morning and then agreed to submit resolution 10 the com- mon council asking that the work be started as soon as possible.
