Governor Fires Mayor for Failing to
Ireveiil Lynching of Young Anti
Saloon Detective Sheriff May Also
Bo Ousted Governor's Unexpected
Arrival and Personal Investigation
Cause Consternation in Official
Ranks.
Columbus, July 11. Governor
Harmon announced today lie had de
cided to suspend Mayor Atherton of
Newark for gross neglect of duty In
his failure to prevent the lynching
of Detective Atherington. Notice
will be served on the mayor Imme
diately. The governor has requested
the signatures of five responsible
persons to the charges of neglect of
duty against Sheriff Lincke also.
Governor Harmon, Adjutant Wey
brecht, Secretary Lond and Lieuten
ant Ben Chamberlain of the gover
nor's staff, arrived at the county Jail
In an automobile at 3:15. Their ar
rival was absolutely unheralded and
the officials were taken completely
by surprise. The governor demanded
to be taken over the battered Jail and
for 30 minutes the party examined the
structure minutely the sheriff explain
ing in detail every step of the mob.
The governor presently tested the
bars and examined locks.
Star 'Lumber Session.
" Following the survey he ordered
Sheriff Lincke to summon Prosecut
ing Attorney Phil B. Smith and the
mayor. Herbert Atherton. On their
arrival the party held a star chamber
session.
"I will havu to take time to consid
er this matter more thoroughly and
any comment I have to make will be
given from the governor's office in
Columbus," was the governor's only
statement to the reporters.
Sheriff Lincke and Mayor Ather
ton reluctantly discussed the meet
ing. "The 'governor questioned me as to
why 1 did not stop the mob by firing
if necessary." Lincke said. "I told
him that I was inexperienced in mob
procedure and did not realise the se
riousness of the situation until the
door had been battered down. I
then looked out and saw facing me
500 guns. In addition, there were doz
ens of women and Children In the
Jail yard.
Would Have Been Murdered.
"Had I ordered the boys to fire In
to the yard, the slaughter would have
been frightful and my family, as well
as myself and deputies would have
been murdered. I told him I did not
realize the danger then. He asked
many other questions, but I answered
them all."
Mayor Atherton declared that Mr.
Harmon questioned him relative to the
recent non-enforcement of the law
and his failure to call for troops
when he learned the true situation.
"I told him that I was enforcing
the law to the best of any man's abil
ity and that after I addressed the mob
pleading with them to disperse. I went
home and went to bed and thought
they would do likewise."
The mayor said both of the officials
told the governor that although they
had faced the mob at different times
during the evening they failed to rec
ognize a single face among the par
t'cipanta. temperatures are general all over the
northwest:
Portland, July 11. A hot wave Is

while in eastern Oregon and Wash

FREEMASONS ARE ACTIVE.
Young Turks Ar- Taking Up Secret
Work for Propagandist Purposes.
London. A correspondent recent
ly In Egypt writes:
"The Constantinople correspondent
of the Times recently referred to cer
tain phases of the spread among the
Young Turks of Freemasonry of a
political type. During the last few
months the local press of Cairo and
Alexandria bas published several al
lusions to the goings and comings of
Turkish and Egyptian Freemasons.
As Is well known In Alexandria, the
Turkish Committee of Union and
Progress has allied itself with politi
cal Freemasonry, which it apparently
uses for propagandist purposes, with
the object of obtaining support in the
neighboring Moslem countries and
perhaps in certain European states.
"It would seem that Borne months
after the deposition of Abdul Hamid,
an Ottoman grand orient was formed,
affiliated more especially to the
Grand Orient of Egypt, believed to be
idential with the Turkish minister of
control of the lodges recently founded
in Turkey and Syria.
"An effort was made to bring local
Egyptian lodges uner the control of
the Ottoman Grand Orient, which,
under some curious Inspiration, nomi
nated as one of its delegates In Egypt
for that purpose no less a person than
Mahomed Bey Ferid. tne chief of the
Egyptian Nationalists. Many local
members of the craft were naturally
much perturbed by such an appoint
ment, the political nature of which
was evident. Dissensions broke out,
and it is said that the Grand Orient of
Turkey has endeavored to undo the
appointment of Mahomed Ferid by
founding another Ottoman Grand
Orient in Egypt as "sister lodge" to
the Grand Orient of Turkey.
"These ramifications and occult
workings of a type of Freemasonry
which is generally believed to be con
nected with certain political, if not
revolutionary secret societies need no
comment. Attempts bave even been
made to bring It "into communion"
with the grand lodges of Scotland and
England, but It would appear that
British Freemasons have been bet
ter advised, and have decided to hold
aloof from what i manifestly not
genuine Freemasorry. One can only
Imagine that the object of the com
mittee of Union and Progress and its
Grant Orient Is to create a secret link
between Itself and the extreme po
litical parties in the valley of the
Nile."

QUEEN MOTHER "TOUCHY
Edward's Widow Insists on Main
taining Monarch's Status.
London. Queen Alexandra's ner
vous condition since King Edward's
death is worrying King George. She
is irritable to a degree and . most
touchy on the subject of her status
in the land.
Contrary to all precedent, she ha
continued to live at Buckingham Pal
ace and to fly the royal standard, the
banner reserved for the monarch
alone. When remonstrated with, she
retorted that she Intended to fly the
flag till one was provided of a special
design for her uset As to Bucking
ham Palace, she is' greatly attached
io the place, and also to Sandringham
but she has no regrets about Windsor
Castle, which she never liked any
more than King Edward.
She has been very angry also about
a picture of herself published a few
days ago in an Illustrated paper and
seeming to have been taken quite re
cently. King George, even, was de
ceived, and asked the Queen Mother's
constant companion, the Hon. Char
lotte Knollys, to persuade her not to
pose Just now. That roused the wid
owed queen from her reveries in the
palace garden and a frightened news
paper proprietor has since .been ex
plaining volubly that the published
photo was taken long before King
Edward's death.

Parisian With Old-Fashloned Name

Paris. Very queer is the story
which is related of a workman to
whom an old-fashioned name had
been given wben he was baptized. His
comrades made such fun of the name
that they ended by driving the poor
man ill. When he returned home last
Saturday he found a cruel Jest scrawl
ed on the wall of the house where he
dwelt, and having accused a fellow
workman of the trick he got sadly
beaten In the fight that followed. He
then went to his room, wrote on a
scrap of paper, "My silly godfather
was an idiot, and is the cause of my
death." and hanged himself. Life
wns extinct when his wire came home
some hours later.
