THIRTY LYNCHERS
ARE BEHIND BARS
Newark. July 16. Confined In
cells and denied the privilege of
outside communication. SO pris
oners are In the Newark Jail
for alleged participation In the
lynching of Detective Ether
Ington. Each prisoner Is ex
amined separately. Many have
been bound over to the grand
Jury for a hearing. Despite the
outward calm there Is an under
current of bitter feeling and the
police are maintaining a close
watch to prevent trouble.
The place for the Indiana speech in
support of Senator Heveritlg will de
pend upon the political exigencies.
Thus far. Colonel Roosevelt has
only considered his subject matter in
a general way. He knows he will deal
with current questions which form
the basis of political discussion bui
he knows that his speech for Senator
Hevcridge will he political pure and
simple, an open plea for the senator's
success in his campaign.
DEP'T OK
AGRKTLTFRE
ISSUES A raV DOVTS
Washington, July 15 Wouldwt be
a dope fiend? If you entertain such
a desire the way to fulfill it Is to par
take of medicated "soft drinks at
the seductive soda counter, snuffle
"catarrh powder" Into the nostrils, or
taku a so-called "tobacco euro."
Nearly all of such preparations will
lead to the "dope" habit, according to
scientists of the department of agri
culture. Here is the department's
list of "don'ts:"
If you are thirsty, beware of the
medicated soft drinks.
If you have a baby In your -house.
don't give it "soothing syrup."
If you want to get out of the to
bacco habit, don't take an advertised
"cure."
If you catch cold, have the hay fe
ver or are troubled with catarrh,
don't take patent medicines' to head
It off.
If you do any of these apparently
harmless things you mav get the
"dope" habit.
The warning has been given by the
department In a remarkable pamph
let iust Issued to "fight shy" of all
patent medicines. Some are harm
less, of course, but the expert chain
Ists of the department declare that
"as a rule" many of the medicated
soft drinks, the "soothing cyrup." the
catarrh, tobacco, consumption, cold
i.n.i other cure-alls contain such
drugs as cocaine, morphine, acetanil
Id aeffein or chloral. The innocent
nurchaser of a patent medicine may
discover, after taking several bottles
of a certain remedy that he has je
veloped an appetite for it. He can
hardlv get along without it. In other
words, he becomes a "dope" fiend and
sooner or later comes to the point
where he takes his cocaine, mor
phine or chloral "straight."

CHAPTER WOMAN'S
LEAGUE WILL GET A HOUSE
Brighter nnd brlgh'er grow the
prospects for a local chapter house
of the American Woman's league. At
today's weekly luncheon the board of
managers of the Commercial associa
tion decided to furnish a site for the
chapter house so that very little now
remains to secure the house.
Another subject discussed was the
continuance or discontinuance of the
series of summer concerts. It seems
that there has been some difficulty
encountered in securing' the neces

Hitler.
Washington. July 15. Confined in
a filthy cell six fet by five feet, un
fed save by charitable strangers, Wil
liam Pittman. an American captured
by the Madrlz government forces
near ijiu- fields. was found tn an ov
titrowdej local prison at Managua,
Nicaragua, by Consul Ollvares Wed
nesday. The consul telegraphed the
state d. partmennt that he visited Pitt
man. discovered the revolting condi
tions and forced Dr. Madriz to fur
nish the adventurous American better
prison accommodations.
Pittman. whose relatives live at
Cambridge, Mass., told Consul Oli
vares he left Greytown July 4, that
since that time his captors have failed
to provide him with food, leaving him
d.
p-.-ndent for sustenance upon char-
ity.
Pittman was starving.
'livares immediately protested, re
minding Madriz of his promise to
trtat Pittman with consideration.
Madriz finally agreed to transfer Pitt
man to a larger and cleaner cell and
: allow the consul to supply him with
.i so-eping couch and food. The con
sul reported no definite action regard
ing Pittman had been determined up
on by tile facto authoritits and that

lie treated fairly and considerately.
Constant complaint from Americans
at Matagalpa relative to threats re
ptatedly made against their lives and
properly - hy agents of the Madriz
-o, ri.-.i. ;it arc being received by the
American eon.-ular service. Consul
olivares cabled to the state depart
ment today that the anti-American
felling in the western part of Nic
aragua, the section under control of
Madriz. is daily growing more bitter.
Mr. ulivares has made vigorous re
pi'sentations to Dr. Madrlz and has
it iterated to him Secretary Knox's
..arning that this government will
hold the Madriz faction strictly ac
countable for American life and prop,
crty.
Hriiish and German subjects at Ma
tagalpa have appealed to their con
suls at Managua for protection. So
far no representations as to these have
i t en made lo the German and British
home government or to Washington,
probably because the British and
German consuls are Nicaraguan local
merchants. American Consul Gener
al F.berhardt, who Is detailed at large
and is now In Matakalpa on a tour
of inspection, cabled the state depart
ment today substantiating the reports
of alarm of foreign residents. He
said the opinion at Matagalpa was
that these anti-foreign demonstra
tions were Instigated hy the Madriz
faction, whose officials openly have
threatened Americans and other for
eigners. Retire Southern Pacific.
New Yorw. July 15. Retirement
of the preferred stock of the South
ern Pacific company was effected to
day. The holders had the option of
accepting $11,". per share in cash or
J20 in cash and $100 per share in 4 '
per cent bonds, or to exchange the pre
ferred stock for common, share for
share.
for that reason some members of the
club were in favor of abolishing the
concerts. Others opposed this move,
saying tint the concerts were proving
popular and beneficial and that the
class of music furnished was except
ional. No action was taken as Will
Ingram, chairman of the concert
omiiiittce is otit of the city.
The labor question was discussed to
some extent. It sems that the city Is
filled with members of the I. W. W.
and other Jawsmiths who are un
willing to work with anything except
their Jaws, but a solution of the diffi
culty was not reached.
