PLAN WELCOME FOR JOHNSON
Vitagraph Man Says Fight Pictures
Will Be Generally Shown.
New York, July 9. The negroes in
the "black belts" of New ori are
planning a big reception for Jack
Johnson when .he arrives Monday.
Permits will be applied for for a pa
rade of 100 automobiles. The fisLc
champion will leal the procession,
while two brass bands will enliven
the line of march.
William T. Rock of the Vltagraph
Company of America, who arrived
here from Reno with the original films
of the Jeffries-Johnson fight picture
In his possession, said:
"While opposition to the production
of the pictures In certain localities la
expected, it Is my belief that the gen
eral public sentiment of the country
will not favor their total suppression.
The people as a whole, I think it will
be found, want to see the reproduction
of the great battle and while we do
not expect to combat adverse sentl
ment by legal means, there is every
reason to expect the views will be
very generally shown."

EDITORS ELECT OFFICERS
Chicago, July 9. Dy an order of
tho United States circuit court of ap
peals here the reduced sleeping car
rates ordered by the Interstate com
uierce commission cannot go Into ef
feet for several months. Judges
Seaman, Orosscup and Baker granted
a stay order pending a rehearing by
the commission as to the Justice of Hi
mandate.
Some weeks ago the Pullman coin
pany and certain roads operating their
own sleeping cars sought an injunc
tlon to restrain the carrying into ef
fect of the reduction order. This wa
denied. A rehearing by the commls
slon, however, was allowed.
In the present Instance new evi
dence was placed before the court to
show that in some cases sleeping cars
were operated at a loss af the present
rates. The Santa Fe was alleged to
lose $86,000 a year on one train. The
St. Paul road declared that It operated
Its sleeping cars at an annual Iobs of
$500,000.
The court ordered that the com
Dunles affected furnish a bond to the
court out of which passengers payin
the present rates shall be reimbursed
should the commission, upon rehear
lng, adhere to its first position and
Insist on the reduction.

Carl Etherington Confessed He Was
Responsible for Howard's Death at
Newark, O. Shot, Kicked and Beat
en by Angry Crowd Before Being
Strung Up.
Newark, 0.,-July 9. Carl Ethering
ton, twenty-two years old, employed
by the State Anti-Saloon league a3 a
blind tiger raider, was lynched hero
following a day of almost continuous
rioting. The heavy doors of the Lick
ing county Jail were battered down
and Etherington was dragged from his
cell. He was shot, kicked and bruised
before the street was reached and the
finish followed quickly.
Fearing that the whim of the mob
might take a new turn at any moment
the police released the six "dry" de
tectives. They were turned loose, up
on their own resources, and quickly
disappeared.
City, and county authorities today
avoided the question as to whether or
not the mob leaders would be prose
cuted. The sheriff defends his stand
on the ground that while the mob was
attempting an entrance to the Jail he
was busy telephoning to Columbus.
Etherington confessed he killed Wil
liam Howard, proprietor of the "Last
Chance" restaurant and former chief
of police, In a raid of alleged "speak
easles," and narrowly escaped lynch
ing at that time. When news from
the hospital that Howard had died
passed over the city the fury of the
mob took definite form. Large batter
ing rams were directed upon the doors
of the Licking county jail and the dep
uties were powerless. The doors fell
after nearly au hour's attack.
Crying nlteously, Etherington, a cur
ly-headed Keutucklan, who had been
serving as a strikebreaker since he
was released from marine service
three months ago, was dragged forth.
"I didn't mean to do it," he wailed.
His cries fell upon deaf ears.
Fearing that the mob spirit would
not be satisfied by one victim, Sheriff
Llnke Immediately asked Adjutant
General Weybrecht for troops to pro
tect six other "dry" raiders held at
the city prison.
Etherington Breaks Down.
Etherlngton's last moments, while
he heard the mob battering down the
doors were Bpent In praying and writ
ing a note to his parents, farmers re
siding near Williamsburg, Ky.
In an attompt to commit suicide he
smothered his head in his coat and
set fire to It. He was caught in time.
As Etherington mounted the block
ready for the swing he was asked to
make a speech.

Omaha, July 9. According to re
ports received In the offices of the
Union Pacific, Burlington and North
western railroads the rain of this
week saved a large per cent of the
crops of winter wheat, oats and po
tatoes, but will have little effect on
the corn. On the Union Pacific lines
rain was reported heavy as far west
as Grand Island and the soil in fine
condition after the soaking.
Between Omaha and Lincoln the
crops were becoming In very bad con
dition, especially the hay and oats
crops, and the pastures were drying
up, but the rain came Just in time.
It. was too late to help winter wheat
much, but the majority of this crop
was in fairly good condition before
this week. In the southeastern corner
of Nebraska the ground wa- hard and
baked from lack of moisture, and the
rain will save the farmers from 20 to
30 per cent of their crops.
The downpour around O'Neill and
Long Pine was so heavy that the peo
ple in that locality think more rain
will do more harm than good, as their
crops, although somewhat ury, were,
In the case of wheat, ready to harvest
and the corn needed no rain. The
soil in that region is in very good
condition, as light showers were felt
there during the last two weeks.
Omaha grain men are more enthusi
astic about crop prospects than they
w ere, particularly with respect to corn.
As concerns this grain, dealers of the
Omaha Grain exchange take a more
hopeful attitude than do some of the
railroads.
"We ought to have at least 30,000,
'000 bushels of corn this year," said
A. 11. Bewsher, "and oats are looking
better than a while ago, although the
crop is spotted."
C. C. Crowell, Jr., of the Crowell
company declared that corn along the
Albion line of the Northwestern and
from Fairfax to Norfolk "is looking
splendid. Oats will do better than ex
pected, and we need no rain for
awhile. The fields are remarkably
clean." ,
S. P. Mason of the Nye-Schnelder
company said that "corn Is not hurt
in the north territory, but they are all
afraid of what may happen."
