WOUNDED NEGRO TAKEN FROM BED
 AND LYNCHED
Killed His Employer Be- cause He Only Paid Him IS Cents an Hour Happened in Maryland

Salisbury, Md, Dec 5.-(UP)-A negro who said he shot his em- ployer because his wages of 15 cents m hour wasn't enough. was taken from hospital, hanged and burned late last night. The negro. Mac Williams. earlier in the day shot and killed his employer. Daniel J. Elliott, 67. Then he turned the gun on himself. As the negro lay wounded on the floor of his employers office. Elliott's son entered. He took his father to medical attention, then returned. The negro had left. The son picked up the gun the slayer had used, and followed. He shot Will Hams in the head. Williams was taken to a hospital
 While the main body of the mob menaced the sheriff and his depu- ties in front of the Peninsula Gen. eral hospital, six leaders slipped in a side door. They took Williams. heavily bandaged from his bed, and hustled him to the street. Here he was placed in the center of the crowd and hurried to the court house plaza. One of the mob tossed the end of a rope over a tree limb in the yard. The other end was fastened around the ne- gro's neck. Eager volunteers hauled him off the ground, where the body hung for about 20 min utes. Then the body was cut down and carried to the edge of the negro district. Gasoline was poured over 1t. The crowd shouted and applauded as the flames leaped high against the black sky. No one was seen to leave until the fire had died out.

DEMOCRAT
 ASSEMBLY
 EXULTANT
They Are Gathering at the Capital in Joyful Mood, Because They Will Take Charge of Affairs in the House for First Time in Thirteen Years
"WILD JACKASS" IS

BY THOMAS l.. STOKES Ynftn1 DRroe GxnT

 Washington, Dec 5-(U. P.) - Exultant democrats assembled in party caucus to-day to lay plans for taking over management of the house of representatives for the first time in 13 years.
 There was the spirit of rally an electric buoyancy-as democra- tic cohorts surged to the meeting in the house chamber where they will begin to rule Monday. New faces. many of them youthful, sym bolized the sweeping victory at the polls year ago.
 But the atmosphere, as Is usual to democratic gatherings, was not entirely peaceful. The new rulers of the house were to grapple with controversial issues after formally nominating their colorful chieftain, John Nance Garner of Texas, as speaker, and the veteran Henry T. Rainey, Illinois liberal, as floor leader.
 Chief sources of controversy in clude:
 1. Prohibition. Thrust forward as at no other time in the past II years, this issue will be thrown into the caucus in the form of de- bate over liberalization of house rules Endorsement of such liberal ization, which would permit a vote on prohibition, is assured.
 The republicans have adopted a proposal to permit vote on any bill if 145 members petition it. The democrats probably will adopt similar plan. although Representa- tive Crisp, Georgia, rules revision champion, favors 100. He will pre- sent q full set of modified rules designed to make the house a more democratic body, checking the power of leaders and committee chairmen. He, like many others, is not primarily interested in the pro hibition issue, but in democracy.
 Democratic drys may duplicate the futile fight made by their re- publican colleagues to render prohibition vote more difficult, but this is believed certain to fail.
 2. One-man Rule. This in- wolves the question of whether Garner is to be the sole boss" of the house, or whether there will be a nominal division of authority
