1926 LYNGHLESS
YEAR CAMPAIGN
Number Has Been Decreasing Yearly,
According to Church Council
Report.
Washington, June 2. Forty years
ago we used to lynch men at the rate
; of 172.6 a year, here in America. Last
year we lynched only sixteen. The
; Federal Council of Churches hopes
to mek 1926 a lynchless year.
Siree 1885, when the fight was
started against this "strictly Ameri
can crime," there has been a steady
decrease in the number of lynchings.
In the ten-year period between
1893 and 1904. the average was
brought down to 123.9 a year. The
next ten-year period showed a drop
to 70.1, and in the ten-year period
just closed the number was reduced
to 53.7 a year, with the total only
sixteen in 1924.
Forty-five communities prevented
lynchings last year, the largest num
ber of preventions ever reported. In
1914 there were fifty-two lynchings
and seventeen ordered prevented.
Last year the ration was Just revers
ed. During all the forty-year period
there has been one white man lynch
ed to every three Negroes.

in Crash.
Is
t Kansas, City, June 20. At 2 a. m.
this morning, police and fire depart
ment officials estimated that from
thirty to forty persons had lost their
lives in the explosion and fire which
last night destroyed the Gillis Thea

Flames swept the five-story bund
ing immediately, according to wit
nesses. The walls soon crumbled,
and fourteen stores in the building
and in adjoining structures were al
so destroyed.
Several hours after the theater
was reduced to ruins it was impos
sible to gain definite information as
to the number of persons trapped,
but Fire Chief Alex Henderson said
his men reported several persons were
buried in the debris.
John Hogan, a fireman, was killed
and two others were seriously in
jured when a fire truck on the way
to the scene crashed into a telephone
pole.
Many of the injured were victims
of the falling balcony of the theater,

broke into splinters and the flying
pieces cut the patrons as. they
scrambled for safety.
The cause of the explosion could
not be determined. A porter at the
building declared he smellecl gas in

WORK ON NEW
BRIDGE TAKES
ONNEW LIFE
Larger Forces of Men Employed and
Real Construction Is Now
in Operation.
From Saturday's Dally
The new auto and wagon bridge
over the Platte river four miles north
of this city is now beginning to look
like a real bridge and arter some
two weeks of delay and annoying ac
cidents to the piling and falsework,
the work is now being gone after in
real earnest and in a manner that
will go a long ways toward having
the bridge ready for travel on the
date set for turning the bridge over
to the company on September 1st.
There are several forces of men
working at the bridge, the Jetty gang
being engaged in the construction of
the false work at the south end of
the bridge where it is daily being
extended nearer to the Cass county
side of the river. The work of this
gang must bo kept at high speed to
keep the way open for the driving
of the remaining piles on which the
bridge sturcture is to rest. Then
are still a number of the bents to be
placed in before the bridge is ready
for the second stages of the work.
A caterpillar tractor is being used
to haul the six ton steel supports
from the railroad lines to the bridge
and which will require some little
time to get all of the steel on hand.
These supports on which the road
way of the bridge will rest htrgely
are to be started in to be laid very
soon and wii;, wnen it is hca-cc-u,
make it look like a real bridge.
The construction of the concrete
supports around the heavy steel pil
ing will be taken up later it is stated.
as tne concrete around ine piers can
be placed at any time, even after the
bridge is in service if necessary.
The Economy Bridge Co., of Lin
coln, has charge of the construction
work and the company will make
every effort to get the structure ready
for travel on the date set forth in
their contract, September 1st when
the structure is supposed to be turn
ed over by thorn to the King of Trails
Bridge Co. Under the recent resolu
tion adopted by the county boards of
Cass and Sarpy counties the bridge
will later be handled by the counties
and state as toll bridge until the cost
price can be secured by the two coun
ties. ENJOY WEST FIXE

farm boy just four years away from
Rrowerville, Minn., has won a $1,200
scholarship of the Beaux Arts Insti

study of sculpture in Paris. He is
American born of Polish parents.
There were 14 competitors for the
scholarship, and his design of a me
morial tablet in memory or Bertram
Grosvenor Goodhue, American archi
tect, is announced as the best.
"I have drawn since I was a child
and seemed just to come by it
naturally," said Mr. Kiselewski. "I
grew up on a farm in Browerville
but was always more interested in
art than any other occupation. I
got my first real art schooling at
the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
Then I decided to come to New
York."
Since coming here he has had to
work during the daytime in order to
pursue his studies at night. He won
the competition by eight weeks of
hard night application after routine
work days in a studio.
Last year Mr. Kiselewski won first
prize in a contest for a flagstaff de
sign and was second in the competi
tion for the Paris prize.
NEW TRACTOR AT WORK

The city had the new tractor at
work this week that was a decided
improvement over the former one
which the city had had for the past
few years. The new tractor is larg
er and heavier and gives Street Com
missioner Elliott a much better
chance to carry on his work. There
are a very large number of work or
ders piled up on the street commis

the rapid work of the tractor will
make the road work much easier.
