NO ARRESTS FOR NEGRO L:YNCH|NC
Sheriff Said Mob Members Were Masked - Two
 COlOred Boys Dead

Columbus, Tex, Nov. 13.-(UP)- Sheriff Frank Hoegmayer an- nounced today that he would make no arrests in connection with the lynching of two negro boys.
 'The men were masked" he said. Their automobiles had licenses from other counties. I didn't recog- nize any of othem. The grand jury will meet in February and may in- vestigate the lynching then"
 The boys, both 16, were seized by a masked mob last night. Accused of staying a white girl, they had been sent to Houston several weeks ago to frustrate a mob They were being returned for arraignment in juvenile court, guarded by only two deputies.
 Mayor Makes Statement
 Mayor O. A. Sumwalt issued this statement: Feeling has been high here ever since the negroes con- fessed they killed Miss Kollman. Under the law the negroes could only be tried in juvenile court and the only punishment possible was confinement until they became of age. The citizens didn't think that was punishment enough, and some of them apparently decided to take matters into their own hands"
 Hanged from Tree
 The boys, Benny Mitchell and Ernest Collins, were hanged from the limb of an oak tree. The mob was reported to have extracted a confession involving another negro youth in the staying and there were reports that he would be lynched if found.
 Miss Geraldine Kollman, 19, a farm girl, was assaulted and killed while patrolling the family pecan orchard on horseback. Mitchell and Collins were arrested and were said to have confessed. They were being returned here for arraignment to- day.

AUTOPSY PROVES
 IT WAS SUICIDE

Worcester, Mass, November 13 - (UP) - A split bullet today sup ported the deathbed contention of an 18-year-old bride who insisted she had shot herself accidentally
 x-ray pictures of Mrs. Mildred Army, taken before her death yes- terday, showed what appeared to be two bullets in her body. AS the revolver with which she was wound- ed Monday was 8 single-action weapon, police said it was impossi- ble for the shooting to have been accidental.
 An autopsy revealed only one bul- let, which had struck 8 rib and split into three pieces.
 Mrs. Army eloped with a U. s. Marine to Oneida, N. r., last June while a senior in the Worcester High School of Commerce.

Lincoln's ShdwI
 Exhibited Here

A rare mementO of President Abraham Lincoln, the shawl which he wore the night he was assassinated by John Wilkes Booth, i'm FOrd's Thca- ter, Washington, D. C., is now being exhibited at Howland and Hughes department store.
 Bloodstains still remain on the shawl which is probably the most treasured of all Lin- colniana. The shawl is a large heavy, knitted affair of black and gray yarns. In Lincoln's time they were worn common ly by men and women because of poor heating facilities in homes and carriages. Many old engravings depict the lnartyred president wearing a shawl sim- liar to the one shown by How land and Hughes.
 That the shawl is genuine there is no question. Several afiidavitS serve as complete Identification.

 Due to the fact that armed hos tilities in Africa seem bound to con- tinue for some time and because our present Neutrality Act will ex- pire on February 20, 1886, it will be necessary for congress to pass new legislation when it convenes in January.
 Embargo
 One of the most important debat- able points is whether, in case oi foreign wars, the new act should give the president discretionary power in proclaiming an embargo on war materials, or whether 1t should be mandatory. Other topics under discussion are the extent or limitation of materials of war included in the embargo list, and the question of the advisability of confining the embargo to the ag- gressor nation.

THIEVES MAKE WAY
WITH RELIEF ACCOUNTS

Someone with "Desire for Relief
Complex" is believed to have been re-
sponsible for the disappearance one
night last week of Relief Aides rec
ord book.
The book in question property of
Omar Carey, of the Somerset County
Relief Force, was taken from car
parked in front of St. Andrews Prot
estant Episcopal Church. Mr.. Carey
was attending services at the time the
book disappeared.
Possibly the thief believed he could
draw his own relief if he had the
book. Mr.. Carey assures US that such
is not the case, however, and that
the book is of no value to anyone
other than himself.
He hopes that the book will be
found and returned to him, as it con-
tains valuable records pertaining to
his territory.

pany. The additions and improve
ments involved in this expenditure will
undoubtedly allow for the installation
of hundreds of thousands of new
telephones.
Net gains in telephones and in
creased use are seen by many people
as indications that economic condi-
tions are improved, so the statement
that there was a net increase of about
100000 telephones in the Bell System
companies in 1884, as compared with
a very considerable loss the previous
year, is indicative Of better times.
This increase in telephones is also
reflected in Maryland, Virginia, West
Virginia and the District of Column
bia, with net gain of approximately
$4,000 telephones in 1884, as compared
with loss of 1909 in 1888.
On December 81, there were about
637, $50 telephones in service in this
area as compared with 612,270 on the
same date in 1888.
Use of the telephone is also on the
increase, with 100000 more calls
day having been made in the central
offices of the Chesapeake and Potomac
Companies this year over last. The
average originating daily calls in 1884
were 100000 as compared with
100000 the previous year.
