3 NEGROES LYNCHED
TWEN FROM 8PRINQFIELD JAIL,
AND HANGED AND BURNED.
Two Hundred Deputies Also on Guard
in Missouri City Both Whites and
' Negroes Are Armed and Latter Will
Resist Eviction.
Hprlueflcld, Mo., April 1C At 2:15
9. tit. William Allen, a young nogio,
w.u talujii from the county Jail hero
and lynched In the public squaro by
lit,- same mob that two hours earlier
Ti.id hanged Horace Duncan and
JamtM Copoland. The body of Allen
filler w.u burned to ashes, as had
l.octi tltoao of the other negroes, be
neath the spot where they had been
lynched.
l-'otlowlng the dispatch of Duncan
ltd Copetand some one suggested that
Allen and litis Cain, two other lit
troea Itnown to be In the Jail, should
tso be lynched. The mob, now blood
thirsty and wrought ui) to the hlghes
pilch of excltente.it, reudlly took uy j
i,.. .i.v -iti.i uiinii tln nlmrred body of'
third victim lay beneath the statuo ;
of the Goddess of Liberty. Cain es-,
c.i led .
Allen and Cain were being held up
on suspicion of having murdered O.
V Kuark, while Duncan and Copoland
were accused of assaulting Mabel Ed
xuondson, a white domestic.
Their work finally accomplished,
the mob quietly dispersed. Hut during
tho day crowds, augmented by bun-:
lrods of persons from surrounding
towns, filled the streets, making !
threats of further vengeance, and sev-
'rul companies of .stato nililtin, or-
lrvd nut by Coventor Folk, together
tIMi 200 deputy sheriffs, patrol the
Git cots.
Fourteen Prisoners Escape.
When the mob left tne Jail at mid
aright with Copeland and Duncan four- '
toon prisoners escaped in the excite-'
merit. Among them was Cain. Hut
Allen was there yet and the second !
mob found him hiding under a cot.
lie was drugged out, his hands were
tied behind his back, a rope was put
round his neck and he was marched
tj
lowu the street to the tower In
Hiiare. The negro stood directly
hovo the smouldering ash heap, from
vhich the Bttiell of burning flesh
rose. The hangman caught the nc
Kro by the ankles, lifted him and
threw him forward over the railing.
Allen turned a somersault In the air
and as the rope became taut his neck
cracked like u pistol shot. The rope
Iroko and ho fell in the bed of coals
iu fop of the other two negroes. There
lit kicked nud tloitudeied around until
another rope was brought, thrice
looped around the neck and he was
aalu suspended in mid air.
More boxes were brought, another big
f to was kindled and soon the swaying
figure, now dead, fell Into It, sending
tip an arrowy spray of live sparks.
After that, most of the men went
luuup, but some men and boys stayed
hy the tower all night and fed the
lire. When daylight broke upon tho
tf-ene there remained only the black
ened trunks and charred remains of
tho negroes.
Kive thousand persons saw the trio
li'iuged and burned. Among the crowd
ef spectators were hundreds of wom
en and children, girls and boys. In a
lull overlooking tho plnza a dance
Tas in progress. Its music stopped,
thlle tho dancers crowded to the win
dows and watched the writhing black
initios and the flames that finally
consumed them.
Governor Folk Offers Reward.
' In addition to sending soldiers h?ro
t guard against a further violation of
the law, (inventor Folk took quick ac
tion to piosoruto the leaders of tho
aiob. lie authorized the offering of a
so ward of $:i()D each for tho arrest
cud convict ion of members of the
mob. Tills hi the limit allowed by
law. In addition, he Instructed Hush
lritko, assistant attorney general, to
Btocced hero at once and aid the
tand jury or Oreone county In fer
letlng out and prosecuting the piimo
movers in Saturday night's work.
Negroes who dated to appear on the
treets were greeted with hoots and
jeers, and on several occasions crowds
cf men and boys colletttod to attack
them. Roth tho negroes and whites
are armed and tho negroes would not
likely be driven out of the city with
cut a struggle.
It is expected that the grand Jury
trill Indict at least fifty, and perhaps
100 men. Not a man In the mob wotc
a mask or made any attempt at con
cealment. The names of the leaders
sopes through tho streets, and who
lynched 5 them afterwatd, are well
known bore.
Another Nogro Slain at Springfield.
Springfield. Mo., April 17. Leslie
'rotors, sixteen years of age, shot and
lilled Ralph Hums, a negro of bad
reputation, one of two who attack
ed hint In this city last night whilo
Lo was escorting a yount lady homo

llm at tho gate of the young lady's
Itotno and one of tho negioes fired two
shots from a revolver at him, but
aelther shot took offoct. Peters Im
mediately fired four snots at tho ne
groes, killing one of them, nnd tho
other escaped. Peters went to the sta
tion nud gave himself up, but he was
released without bond. Tho news of
the killing' of another nogro spread
like wlldflro throughout tho city nnd
hundreds of people loft their beds nnd
hastened to tho public square. Tho
militia on guard there prevented any
violent outbreak, nnd after a time dis
persed tho crowds nnd no further
troublo Is feared.
ROOSEVELT RAPS MUCK RAKERO
Declares a Fool Is Well Nigh as Dan
gcrous as a Dishonest Man.
Wfiailiii?trin. Anrll Ifi. President
D ' - i
IlouBevcIt mnik) his expected attack
on tho "man with the muck rake" In
his address at the laying of tho cor-'
nerstone of the new congressional of-'
flee building. The president's speech j
was aimed at the great mass of indis-
eliminate abuse of public men, of
corporation., and men of wealth by
Irresponsible magazine writers, who, .
seeing some things that arc bad, Jump '
to the conclusion that everything Is '
bad.
President
Roosevelt's address was
based on two broad principles viz.: '
"Tho effort to make financial or po-'
lltlcal profit out of the destruction of
character can only result In public ,
calamity;" and: "Tho fool who has i
not sense enough to discriminate be-
tweon what Is good and what Is bad
is well nigh as dangerous as tho man ,
who does discriminate and yet chooses
tho had." '
Public ofllclnls, declared the presi
dent, must bo honest; more than that,'
they must be courageous enough to
enforce the law against the rich ntul
poor alike. Ho said further that "If a
public man is willing lo yield to pop
ular clamor nnd do wrong to nen of
wealth, or to rich corporations, it may
be sot down as certain that if tho op
portunity comes he will secretly and
furtively do wrong to the public In
tho Interest of a corporation." I
The president too had something to
say to men who own and control enor
mous fortunes. Ho intimated that the '
time must come when tho national
government murft tax their great for-'
tunes to such nn extent that they
must be disintegrated at the death of
incir nomers. nut, ne sam, we stiouiu ,
discriminate In the sharpest way be-1
tween fortunes well won and fortunes
111 won. Ho added tbnt "no amount
of charity In spending fortunes In any
wny compensates for misconduct in
making them."
PANIC IN CHICAGO CHURCH.
Cry of Fire Starts Crush Which Re
sults in Four Deaths.
Chicago, April 10. During a panic
which followed a croy of "lire" while
400 persons were participating in tho
services In St. Ludmllla's Roman
Catholic church, Twenty-fourth street
and Albany avenuo, three children and
ono woman were killed and a score of
others Injured, several seriously.
Tho majority of the worshipers In
the church at the time the false alarm
of fire was given were women and
children, and in a few minutes all
were In a tangled mass, fighting to es
cape from tho supposed danger. Many
persons Jumped through the windows,
but the greater portion crowded to tho
center aisle. The extra weight proved
too much for the floor and some of
tho beams supporting It broke. The
cracking of the timbers Increased the
fright of the now terrified women and
children and everyone In the place be
came panic-stricken, men, women and
children fighting desperately with
each other In an effort to reach tho
outside. Tho woman and children
suffered most in tho struggle, and
when tho church was finally emptied
three children were lying dead In tho
aisles and ono woman was so badly
hurt that she died while being 're
moved to the hospital.
The dend: Mrs. Kate Kanlk, Emma
Ilotka, Hurbara Hcrmanck, Lilllo

DOWIE SAYS A FINAL "NO."
Rejects Arbitration Proposal and Pre
pares for Fight in Court.
Chicago, Ap:il IS. All negotiations
looking toward a peaceful settlement
of tho question as to who shall con
trol Zion City and its vast resources
have been broken off. John Alex
ander Dowle, through his attorneys,
rejected the proposition advanced by.
General Overseer Vollva, to tho effect
that the $21,000,000 estate be turned
over to a board of control, to consist
of nine members, four of them to be
selected by Dowle nnd a like number
by Vollva. The ninth man was to be
selected by the board as created. It
was stipulated that both Dowle and
Vollva be active members of this
board and that the action of the mem
bers thereof be final in determining
whether or not the deposed "first apos-,
tie" or Vollva be the recognized head
of the Christian Catholic church. i
Dowle rejected the proposal on the
grounds tbnt not only would he not
acquiesce In the appointment of Vol-!
Iva on the board, but that he no long- j
er recognized tho new leader as a
member of the church. I
In speaking of the ultimatum, Attor-'
ney Haley, representing Dowle, said: '
"As soon as we can obtain tho neces-'
sary information we will file a bill In
chancery In tho circuit court of Lake
county at Waukegan. This Instru
ment will be a petition thr.t the trans
fer of the property or ZIon City, exe
cuted by General Overseer Vollva, giv
ing to Deacon Alexander Granger full
title thereof, bo declared void. Wo
are handicapped to the extent that
Vollva and his forces have In their
possession all of the books and papers
concerning ZIon City nnd Its property.
It may be necessary for us to go into
court to get possession of these. As
soon ns we obtain the desired Informa
tion the bill will bo filed."
Dr. Dowle, It is stated, will go to
Zion City somo time this week. It Is
declared by tho Dowleltes that when
the "first apostle" enters the city
which he founded, he will do so as
the head of the church. Vollva, they
say, will be excommunicated.
