NATCHEZ, Miss. Action to
stop the reign of terror among col
ored railroad firemen in the South,
in which five trainsmen have been
slain and nearly score injured, was
taken here last week, when four
white men were arrested in connec-
ton with the most recent murder.
A reward of $4,000 has been offered
by the Y. and M. V. and Illinois
Central railroads for the arrest and
conviction of the persons in the STAY
ing of Will Harvey, which occurred
here May %, and five other men pre-
viously slain.
Shell Gave Clue
Charles B. Coon, 32 years old,
white fireman and formal affidav-
it filed against him charging him
with the murder of Harvey. Lee Ed
ward Middleton, II, of Meadville,
Miss, Vernon Campbell of Vicks-
burg and S. M. Bailey of Brook
haven were placed in Jail here Fri
day to be held as suspects in the
fifth fireman's death. Finger prints
on the shell of an exploded cartridge
found at the scene of the Staying was
the clue that led to the arrests of the
four white men.
Officials attribute the murderous
assaults to efforts of unemployed
white men to displace the colored
firemen A decade ago there were
hardly any white firemen in the
South. When the depression came
and jobs became scarce, however,
white men protested to the railroads
against the employment of ma
jority of Negroes in the firemen jobs
As a result of the whites complaints
fifty per cent of the colored railroad
workers were discharged and white
men put in their places. Later fur
Their reduction in the ranks of the
colored men were sought, and when
the railroads refused to respond at
tacks on the Negroes followed.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, August 30.-Mayor
Adrien Marquet of Bordeaux, dubbed
the Jimmy Walker of France purely
on the grounds of sartorial excellence,
las very little in common with New
York's mayor, it became apparent on
inspection after his arrival from France.
He hopes his clothes are all right, but
he's far too busy, he says, worrying
over the 'ob of governing 200 900 peo-
pie to spend any time in frivolous pur-
suits
But in one thing he might give the
dapper little New York mayor run
for his money. He has wit that is
even more biting than the Walker wise
cracks, anc when he was called the
French Jimmy, his answer, Mayor
Walker himself might have envied
However, that's not for publication.
None of the mayors lighter remarks
were. They take politics, even the Job
of being mayor to a mere little hand
full of 100000 souls, very, very seriously
In France, apparently.
Conservative Clothes.
As for the Beau Brummell stuff,
well. Mayor Marquet is quite extern
siva edition of New York's mayor. In
the first place, he stands 6 feet tall,
and his clothes have that conServati
air usually associated with London
rather than Paris or New York. Yes
terday he wore a gray suit, and it had
a stripe all right, but very, very
lmperceptible stripe, not at all like
Jimmy's. Nor did it nip in at the waist
or 60 in for anything at all fancy in
the way of cut. His bow tie was
uhito YOnlko dot He
wore plain brown shoes and brown
and white handkerchief
He has . ntcely distinguished mus
tache, clippea tonservati ely, but there
is nothing y the lea!t 0apper or
frivolous aprut this French Jimmy
Walker. He no. only is serious ana
6jgnified, but he has a great fondness
for his own country.
Not Movie Actress.
Mayor Marquet made it clear that
he is not in this counCry for any pur-
pose whatsoever except to satisfy his
own curiosity. Unlike most French
men, he is a great traveller, and already
has visited most of the European and
South American countries. He hopes
to spend some time in Chicago. He
doesn't want to be entertained. or met,
or introduced, while he is mere, but
wants to see things for himself in his
own way.
A reporter asked him if he really
were the hest dressed mayor in France.
II am quite sure" he replied. that
the others are equally well dressed"
Then somebody inquired how many
suits he brought along, and the tall,
dignified mayor of Bordeau replied,
Nov really, I am not movie actress,
you know. Now really"

The Correct Posture.

A correct posture is marked by ease
and relaxation and not by the stiff ex-
actnsss which was formerly emphasized
The best way to determine a good
posture is to stand with back against the
wall so that the head, shoulders and
hips touch it and the weight of the body
rests on the balls Of the feet. Sr-a 3
position assures perfect balance, which
is essential to a graceful carriage.
Good posture should be maintained
not only in standing position, but
when sitting and lying as well. Sine,
sleep occupies about one-third Of tn,
day, sleeping posture is important.

growth in 1880 and even caused q
few countries to lose telephones.
The total number of telephones in
the world increased by S66,729

1883 telephones In the United
States during the year exceeded
that in any other country.
Private Ownership
Privately owned systems operate
more than two-thirds of the world s
telephones. In the United States
all telephones are operated by pri-
vate companies. This country Is
not only equipped with more tele-
phones than all the rest OF the
world put together, but it is like
wise outstanding in the number of
its telephones relative to popula-
ton. With 1914 telephones for each
100 people. the relative prevalence
of telephones in the United States
is more than eight times that in
Europe. Canada. with IA tele-
phones per 100 people is the only
country whose telephone facilities
in proportion to population APP
proach those Of the United States.
New Zealand takes third place
with 1912 telephones per 100 peo-
pie, followed by Denmark with
0.9, Sweden with 81 and Austria

people. Most of the telephones In
both Canada and Denmark are OPP
Grated by private companies.
Small Towns Well Provided
Germany ranks second to the
United states in absolute number
of telephones, but has only 5 tele-
phones per 100 people. Great Brit

would meet many obstacles. Every
