LYNCH|NC OF BOY
Staying Suspect, 19, Hanged
From Tree by Mob in
Louisiana.
~ the Associated Press.

RUSTON, La, Oct. 14.-District
Judge E. L. Walker said today he would
call special session of the Lincoln
Parish grand jury next Monday or
Tuesday to investigate the lynching
yesterday of r. c. Williams, l9-year-
Old colored youth.
A mob of several hundred men
caught the boy. marched him to the
spot where they said he killed r. M.
Blair, 80, Jonesboro paper mill foreman,
Tuesday night. and slugged Mr.. Blair's
woman companion, and hanged him
from a tree before riddling his body
with bullets
Mr.. Blair and his companion, Rus
ton waitress, were beaten as they sat In
q parked car on a side road miles
east Of here. It was the second such
occurrence reported in a month. In
the previous case the man suffered a
criminally attacked.
Three youths caught Williams as
he sought shelter in building at his
srandmother's home and turned him
over to the mob. Sheriff Bryan Thig-
pen, informed of the capture, sought
to intervene, but a mob leader held
gun against the youth and said he
would shoot If the sheriff interfered.
The boy was taken to the scene of
the crime and tortured with a hot
poker. He was then hanged from
tree and bullets pumped into his body.
A fire was lighted under the dangling
body, but it was kicked out so the
youths flngerprints could be compared
with those found on the dead white
mans car.
The sheriff said it was reported to
him that the youth confessed before
his death.
The lynching was the third reported
this year. according to records at Tus-
kegee Institute in Alabama. The
others were listed at Arab, Ga. and
Rolling Fork Miss, although Missis-
sippi authorities denied the latter was
q lynching. Eight lynchings were
listed last year.

"WouLdn't Go Alone"

If I were one of those poor
prosecuted Jews over in Ger
many and decided to commit
suicide, I wouldn't go alone.
No, sir! I'd find some way to
take Hitler and his mob with
me. Maybe climb to a high spot
and throw a bomb or hand gre
made, and if it took the lives Of
others around him I would feel
that they, like me, had died for
a good cause.
Just so I was sure, before I
got killed or killed myself, that
I had finished the madman and
his henchmen.
Thank God, I'm here, that I'm
an American, and secure. I feel
that We'll wisely do our best to
keep out the war, If it comes.
Life is so short, anyway. But to
have to live it in horrible fear
as not only most of Europe 10
now but even a lot Of nervous
people right here, is sad.
I've assured (perhapS too
cockily) many nervous mothers
that we will not have to see our
brothers or friends go to war,
and I hope I'm right.
Sincerely
MRS, FREDERICK GOOCH.

marck as he lighted up.
when a man. begins a discus
sion which may easily lead to
heated argument, or even to a
show of temper, it is always
better to smoke while talking.
You see, a cigar held in the
hand and nursed with care
serves in a measure to keep our
gestures under control. Besides
it acts as a mild sedative with
out in any way impairing your
mental faculties.
A CIGAR is a sort of diver
\ sion; as the blue smoke
curls upward, the eye involun.
tarily follows it; the effect is
soothing, one feels better tenn
pered and more inclined to
make concessions-and to be
continually making mutual con-
cessionS is what we diplomats
live on. It is true, M. Favre,
that you as a non-Smoker have
one advantage over me-you
are more watchful and observ-
ant; on the other hand you are
more apt to be guided by the
impulse of the moment"
If Bismarck and Mr.. Parsons
are right then it is to be hoped
that at the fateful conference
in Munich today Der Fuehrer
will ask Prime Minister Neville
Chamberlain of Great Britain
to light up his briar; tnat he
will pass cigarettes to Mussolini
and that will be where to-
bacco should do the most good:
and that he will offer a perfecto
to Premier Daladier of France.
But the pity of it will be that
Hitler will not smoke. How
ever, if he should make the sac.
rifice of permitting these three
to puff away all is not yet lost.

President ROOsevelt's Efforts

to talk Europe out of without involving the
United States in another to end war; must,
believe, have had good deal to do with making up
Hitlers mind to call the Munich conference.
The Presidents two messages
Pe0ceMdkeT the Monday one addressed to Hitler
prooioonf Benes, Chamberlain and Daladier
and the Wednesday addressed
to Hitler alone-seemed to pacific and persuasive in
the highest degree
They completely lacked a certain sentmentality that
characterized of Woodrow Wilson's highmnded
peace pronouncements in the years before he was
elected for having kept us out of war"
Th Roosevelt messages concerned themselves with the
cold facts about the useesness of many and the
blood and misery and expense of all They could
not fail to appeal to anyone with trace of intelligence
left The endorsements of the Roosevelt messages by
the Latin American countries of Argentina, Brazil,
Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Peru and Uruguay must
also have registered rather convincingly in Berlin.

One Solution

There is only one solution to
this problem as I see it and that
is for a period (of proper dura-
tionO when pedestrians have the
right of way in all directions
and all cars stand still, followed
by yellow light Of long enough
duration to make it possible -or
all pedestrians who stepped off
while they had the right Of way
to get to the other side End
then other periods when the
cars went on their way with no
worry of pedestrians on their
minds, Each would have his own
innings and there could be no
justifiable misunderstanding OF
such a regulation.
I believe, incidentally that
while it might be argued that
this would slow up traffic, it
would, in fact speed it up be-
cause in this case. with no pc
destrians to worry about the
cars could safely travel at a
much higher speed with no dan
ger to anyone.
Oh, yes! While I would not
agree to pedestrian control
under the present system I
would welcome a regulation pro-
viding for the arrest and punish
ment of any pedestrian who
violated a rule such as the
above.

at the start.
Napoleon was carrying on his
Egyptian campaign when tho
plague broke out in Cairo. He
was informed that he could safe
guard himself to quite an extent
by smoking. A narghile or wa
ter-pipe was secured for him and
the Corsican took one long pull.
He coughed and spat and when
he had regained his breath he
shouted:
Take it away; you are pigs,
everyone of you"
Napoleon, you will remember,
If you have read about him,
could not be reasoned with.
