JUSTICE TO AVEflGE DURI1IIIGJ NEGRO Pennsylvania Murderer Removed on Hospital Cot Which Is His Pyre.
(National News Association) PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 14. Strict Justice will be meted out to those responsible for burning the negro, Zcfce ,Valker, to death at Coatesville, lust Bight. State troopers were ordered there today and provided with 1.50 John Doe warrents for the arrest of the lynchers. This action was taken after reports were received here that the negroes, comprising a foflrth of the town's population, were threatening to arise in revenge on the whites.
8TORV OF HORROR COATESVILLE, Pa., Aug. 14. 'Quiet was restored here today after Ithe night of horror that accompanied 'the burning of Ezekial Walker, the :aeigro who shot and killed Special Officer Edgar Rice. The authorities jconcentrated their efforts in running 'down a number of strange men who 'took a leading part in the mob of 400 white men and boys who carried Wal,ker, manacled to his cot in the Coates-j-vllle hospital and burned both. "All 'the saloons in the town were cloned ftoday.
Gawthrop united in attempting to fix the responsibility for the crime and both declared that the ringleaders would be arrested, but they are believtod to have fled. Fears that the in(tense excitement might again break (into violence led to the swearing in f a number of special deputies.' Deplte mutterlngs of the part of the Negroes living in and near CoatesSrllle Sherif Golder believed that the ocal authorities had the situation 'firmly in hand and that outside help 'would not be needed. Not a vestige of the negro's body refenalned today as evidence of the terrible vengeance which had been wrought ftipon him. 'Body and cot were con
sumed to ashes which were picked up'
5by the wind and carried away. Stanley Howe, the policeman guarding Walker the hospital, received the congratulations of the law-abiding dement today for the struggle which ' Be put up to prevent his prisoner be;lng carried away. Howe had many bruises to show for the battle which be put up, but the odds were too overwhelming. Coatesville hospital also showed evidences of the mob's work. Windows were broken and furniture smashed. V Jer Howe's direction the attaches
attempted to barricade the building, but were unable to keep out the attacking force. Some of the patients are In a serious condition as a result of the panic which attended the assault of the mob. The authorities believe that , the strangers who led the mob came into Coatesville with the express purpose of stirring up trouble. They wore masks pnd seemed to be prepared for the violence which followed.

go over all of the books, but the books should be examined to a certain extent." Says Examine Books. Elmer E. King "We ought to look over the books by all means, even if we don't enter Into a purchasing contract. We should do so on account of rates. We ought to have lower rates. I favor a fifteen-year franchise, or a ten-year franchise Is preferable. I believe the Palladium's plan as published Sunday morning is a good one." Jesse Evans "This law may be a good one. but the city cannot buy the plant. Zimmerman has a number of ideas on it but they will not work out. I won't say anything now about the matter of investigating the company's affairs." Alphonse Weishaupt "If the city
intends to purchase the plant, the
books of the company should be investigated. We should look into the company's affairs, anyway. Just in regard to the rates. I prefer a ten-year franchise." J. E. Thatcher "When it comes to a 'show down the city will have to inspect books. The law is a good one. I am in favor of a fifteen year franchise and in giving the contract to a borne company." Engelbert Is Silent. H. II. Engelbert "I don't care to commit myself on the subject." Harry Wessel "This law may help in adjusting good rates. If- the city intends to buy the plant it will have to Inspect books. At any rate we should keep the Campfield proposition before us. I prefer a ten-year franchise." Mayor Zimmerman "I believe this law is a good one, but we should first try to secure information by other methods. In other words after we have exhausted other means to arrive nt a conclusion, I believe in this method of forcing the company to open its books." 1 Charles E. Shiveley, attorney for the company, said that he could not give an opinion on the law inasmdeh as he had not examined it. Ray K. Shiveley, also employed by the .company made the same statement. Charles E. Shiveley said that he could see no reason why the company should
not open its books and was under the impression that the books were op
ened to Maury. May Inspect Books
From the statements of the various
councilinen it is not improbable that the books of the company will be in
spected. Councilmen are ' absolutely
against the purchasing of the plant un
der the proposal submitted. Mayor Zimmerman declares that the plan for
municipal ownership of the plant has not been abandoned. In this event
the councilmen say that the books of

The pivotal element in business and
financial circles just now is the bar-
vest. Wednesday's Government report
was somewhat of a disappointment, in
asmuch as it Indicated a wheat crop of 30,000,000 bushels less than a year ago
and a corn crop of 500,000,000 bushels
below last year. This is probably the
worst that can happen, and there is good reason o accept this estimate with reserve. Since these returns wore made there has been considerable improvement in the crop situa
tion, and while it would be foolish to now anticipate as good wheat and
corn crops as last year, still the situation is by no means serious and the
harvest of these two important crops
Is quite likely to reach the average. There is every reason to anticipate a
very fair yield of corn, and the deterioration of 500,000,000 bushels Is not going to prove a very important matter, especially as some portions of the country have considerably increased their acreage in this cereal. Nor is the loss in oats so grave a matter since the automobile has so largely superseded the horse. Some compensation for shrinkage in ' the cereal crops will be found in a larger cotton
crop. The price of the latter has fallen in consequence; and in view of the large yield results should prove satisfactory to the grower and prove an immense benefit to the country through the heavier exports of this staple which will inevitably follow a good yield. For some time past the cotton trade of the world has been seriously interfered with by the excessive price of cotton, and this great industry should receive much benefit by a return of cotton to a more normal level. At home the cotton goods industry has been further embarrassed by tariff agitation, and any relief through cheaper cotton would be most welcome to all concerned. Upon general business the present crop situation can have no harmful ef
fect. Of course, a large yield of corn, wheat and oats would have been very
beneficial and was much desired; yet
the fact that we are now almost sure
of average crops at good prices assures fair business conditions during
the next few months. The most serious interference with business at present is the disturbed condition of politics. Industry has been much depressed by continued fruitless tariff agitation and congressional investigations of industrial corporations. There is no prospect of any genuine tariff action being taken this summer. The sooner congress adjourns, therefore, and stops talking, the better for itself and the people of the United States.
Congress is getting upon the business man's nerves by its often intemperate dealing with business matters, which it doesn't or can't fully understand. The country needs a rest from useless
and injurious agitation. Investiga
tions, which serve no purpose, except to bring ambitious congressmen into
notoriety, have done much to retard a
recovery in business (which was certainly due, aid really promised to develop. Jt is perfectly true that some
of our big corporations are deservedly
suffering from misdeeds of the past, but that Is no excuse for the threaten
ed attacks which are being made upon
all forms of business organizations. It
should be recognized that the abuses
of the past are being gradually but
surely remedied; and that time and delicate treatment are required for the removal of many of these ills, which will never be repeated. Business men are tired and disgusted at such persistent interference, which makes the execution of plans on a larger scale extending into the future practically
impossible. Europe, meanwhile, looks on in wonder at the patience of tbe average American with what over there often seems hysterical and puerile attacks upon legitimate business meathods. All admit that there are evils in our industrial system to be cured, but legislative sandbagging is not the proper cure. Let us have a reasonable and quiet enforcement of the law, instead of hysterical attacks
for the saks of political and newspaper notoriety. When congress adjourns- the country will certainly breathe a deep sign of relief. The present session, it will be remembered, was called purposely to pass the reciprocity bill with Canada, and it is unfortunate that its activities were not limited to its original purpose. The present tariff agitation has been perfectly useless and resulted only in harm; it being quite evident that this great problem will not be adjusted until after another presidential election. The tariff should be taken out of politics, but that seems impossible for the reason that the in
terests affected are too strong and too
belligerent to be satisfied except by a test of strength; and what is equally
potent, the politicians cannot be persuaded to surrender an issue which offers such effective campaign material. No serious tariff changes, there
fore, are to be anticipated for some time to come. The question may be
again revived, but early action is im
possible, and President Taft will surely throw his whole influence against any hasty decision until the evidence gathered by the tariff board has been carefully prepared for public digestion. Such a course is wise, and should
aid to restore confidence and soothe the nerves of the over-irritated American manufacturer and merchant. The
patience of the average business man has been so much overstrained daring the past six months that be is apt to
take a more pessimistic view of the situation than is really warranted. , A few weeks or months of rest from political disturbance, and business sentiment will quickly become more nor mal and more nopefuL Stock market conditions were somewhat improved technically by the recent decline of 5 to IS points in the active shares. Considerable liquidation has taken place and stocks, it should be remembered, will now gradually get into stronger hands. Money continues easy and although the crop moving season i close at hand, there are no indications of stringency.
