Springfield, 0., March 7 Richard Dixon, a negro, who fatally shot Po- iceman Chas. Collins yesterday, was taken from the county jail at this place tonight by amob of 800 men and shot to death in the jail yard. Later the body was hung to a telegraph pole and the mob riddled the body with bullets from several hundred re volvers. During the evening a crowd gath ered and an attempt was made to gain entrance to the east door of the jail. The iron bar was removed and the door partly opened. A policeman on the inside promptly opened the door and pulled the two nearest men inside. This ended all active attempts to break the door until nearly 11 o'clock. Shortly before this hour diversion was madejby a crowd moving from the east around to the south entrance. The police followed and a bluff was made at jostling them. The crowd at this point kept growing while yells of "Hold the police," "Smash the door," "Lynch the nigger," , were made and interspersed with revolver shots. All this time a party with a heavy railroad iron was beating at the east door, which yielded to the battering ram. In an incredibly short time the jail wat filled, and seeing that further resistance was useless, and to avoid the killing of innocent persons, the authorities consented to the demands of the mob for the right man. He was dragged from his cell to the jaH door and thence down the stone steps to the paved court in the jail yard. Fearing an attempt on the part of the police to rescue him the leaders formed a hollow square. Some one knocked the negro to the ground and those near to him fell back for five feet Nine shots were fired into his prostrate body and the mob, .satisfied he was dead, strung the body up to a telegraph pole. The fusilade then began, and for thirty minutes the body was kept swaying back and forth from the force of the rain of bullets. Fre quently an arm would fly up convul sively when a muscle was struck, and she mob went fairly wild with delight. 'hrouehout it all perfect good humor and good order was maintained; and every one seemed to be in the best of spirits. Boycotting Chicago's Mayor. Chicago, March 8. Mayor Harrison has been put on the "unfair" list of the Federation of Labor. The fight on the Mayor was brought into the Central Lab or organization by John J. Delaney, member of the Stationary Engineers' Union and an inspector uuder the City Board of Ex.imining Engineers. The erievance of Delaney and his as sociates against the city's executive was that he had refused to permit the exam ining board to bo made an organizing agency for the union. The charge was that unlicensed engineers were working in the office buildings and hotels in the places vacated by the union men who struck January 1 and that the city au thorities refused to prosecute them. Proclaiminz an individual as "unfair" when he is not engaged in any business is almost unprecedented. It was taken to mean that union men should refuse to support the Mayor at the polls or any I where els. lEGRETARY HAY ALARMS EUROPE RUSSIA WANTSi TO FORM COM BINATION Against u. s.

A LARGE LOT OF 5PRAY MATERIAL At Marsters' Drug Store A CAR LOAD OF SU LPHUR Of Superior Quality St. Petersburg, Match 9 The misgiving exist ing is high quarters regarding the ultimate aims and purposes of the foreign policy of the United States was verified today in the following remarkable state ment to the Associated Press: "Were in not for a single unknown quantity the European situation at present would be as perfect as possible. For the avoidance of one thing, every chan cellory in Europe has been straining every nerve namely, to prevent the entanglement of an outside power in this war. That unknown quantity is your State Department. "The situation following the outbreak of hostili ties was exceedingly delicate and surcharged with dangerous possibilities to the peace of the world, and the level-headed statesman of Europe instantly co-operated to avert a general catastrophe when almost at the inception Secretary Hay's circular note for the neutralization of China almost ditched them. But happily, he did not press it to a point where differences were sure to have arisen and as it turned out, owing to the length to which the powers gave adhesion to its principle it really contributed to the trend to which all desired. The note might have proved disastrous did not the present moment find all of Europe practi cally in accord as to what should be done. "The only place where uncertainty exists is Washington. We are at sea as to what to expect from Mr. Hay's diplomacy, which in these latter days is so aggTessive, so startlingly sudden in the way it propos es propositions to the remainder of the world that we have not time to prepare for the shock. It is a veri table nightmare to Europe. The present situation is like an algebtaic problem every quantity of the equa tion is known except one and that one is Mr. Ha If we knew what he stood for or what he intended to do, the solntion would be easy." SPRINGFIELD RIOT. Mob Gathers Was She Kate Bender? 8ome time ago the newspapers told of - 1 the death in Eastern Oregon of a woman under the name of "Joe Monaghan" who herded cattle and rode the ranee in that section for twenty-five years in the guise of a man, and whose real sex was not known until her death. It is now rumored that the woman was none other but Kate Bender, the noto rious Kansas murderess. While there is no positive proof that this statement is true, "Joe Monaghan" appeared at Ontario a short time after the escape I of Kate Bender. It is stated that Mr. and Mrs. Bender, father and mother of the notorious Kate now reside on the Snake river, not far from Ontario. Ex. nH Threatens to Burn ' Remainder of Negro Buildings. Springfield, 0., March 9. A mob of 800 people gathered on the negro levee district this afternoon and threatened to burn the rest of the buildincs there. Mayor Bowlus is in conversation with the authori ties about calline for more troops. Chief of Police O'Brien says ' there will be a race war this evening. The situation this morning was quiet with the militia from Dayton,- Miamisburg and other points maintaining good order. The troop3 are : ;mmi;ofo .nmrrmnrl nf rvdnnel H. T. Meade, of Dayton, who is in constant communication with Governor Herrick at Columbus. The loss from the fire during the night is estimated at from $15,- 000 to $20,000, most of the buildings occupied by negroes being very Email A London dispatch of Tuesdays date says: Every indication is that the Czar is ready to retire gracefully froni the field should the opportunity offer. High legation officers have been-in receipt of information within the last 24 hours that enables them ,0, should they feel disposed, act in the interests of peace and be confident that Russia will not object. The czar is said to have intimated to; St. Petersburg authorities that he would welcome European mediation and this has been transmitted to the representatives here who have con veyed the news 'o ' 'i : ;iresontative3 of leading natkr, . .irecll; inter ested. The czar favors arbitration and is said to be willing to refer the entire matter to The Hague tri bunal and to hold up hostilities pend ing a settlement. Russia, so military experts say3, has found that she is in no trim for war in the far east. She had her ships hemmed in by a superior force, her bases of supplies and even her coaling stations are not accessible to her cruiser Seet and the squadrons at Port Arthur and Vladivostok are bottled up most tightly. The rail road that was to prove such a boon in wartime has proven anything but a blessing, and as a tool it is a dull one. Transportation of troops goes on slowly, on sea the Russian is impotent and on land protection is all that can be hoped for, no conquest can be made and protection of acquired ter ritory is even questionable in many case,. In short, the Rassian leaders feel, according to well authenticated dis patches, that The Hague cooWnot de prive them of more than they are liable ! to lose if the war continues and that . at a much less cost. Just what na-; tion. if any, will intercede on Russia's behalf is uncertain and whether such intercession would be acceptable to Japan, or if not, whether Europe would back any attempt to coerce the Japs to quit, pending negotiations, is uncertain. But for the first times Reen has weakened and boasts are J. by no means so loud as they were ' duriag the first days of the war. At j the same time n diplomat seriously, believes the Russian czar or his of- ; ficials will give up the fight until they ; can better meet the inroads of the j persistent Jap. j While mediation is being consider- ed by the czar and some of the high ' officials others who represent the, military arm exclusively are just as firm as ever for war. to the end. A leading Russian official at St. Peters burg in an interview today stated that reports of mediation were absurd and would continue to be so until the Russian army and navy had by bril liant successes on land and sea re trieved reverses. He stated that the efforts of the army would be concen trated towards a sweeping land vic tory and that this was imperative to save the caste of the nation before the world. 1.
