BLACK MURDERERS
LYNCHED BY MOB
One Negro Confesses, Implicating Two
Othfers; All Three Hung and
Bodies Riddled.
SHREVESPORT, La., Dec. 4.—
Three negroes'were lynched here yes
terday because they killed the post
master of the city. The mobs caught
one of the men and he confessed,
stating that the other two had aided
him in the assault and murder. The
two were immediately caught and
hung, the bodies being riddled with
bullets. The first negro caught, who
confessed to the crime, was then tak
en out and suffered the same fate as
bis companions in crime.
The police were powerless to stop
the mob and the troops could not be
brought here in time. The governor
will order an investigation but noth
ing is expected of it.
ICE SAVED NOME
FROMTHE SURF
NOME, Dec. 4.—The blizzard which
threatened to do great damage to this
city has finally subsided. The large
amount of ice along the shore saved
the city from partial destruction. The
floating ice held the surf down and
the ice would raise and fall with each
wave, but the spray could not reach
into the town and coming back to
the sea did not undermine the build
ings as was done in the storm of two
years ago.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 4—Governor
J. F. A. Strong of Alaska, accompan
ied by his wife, is now in this city

it of Alaska products in the govern
ment building during the Panama
fair. The governor will remain here
for several weeks and possibly may
be called to Washington to confer
with the president and Secretary Lane
regarding Alaska matters.

_
BERLIN, Dec. 4—All house cats in
this city and in every other German
city are to be caught and killed and
the skins used to line the overcoats

equipped.

LADIES MUST HIDE
PRETTY FORMS
Suit Manufacturers Will Not Stand for
Tight Skirts Next Year—Baggy
Things All the Go.
TOLEDO, O., Dec. 4.—The suit
manufacturers in session here have
decreed that the suits for next year
shall not be the tight fitting, snug
suits now in use which display the
beautiful forms of the wearers, but
shall be loose, baggy things which
require more' cloth and conceal the
charms of the ladies.
The decree is final. All suits put on
the market will be loose and baggy.
The ladies will be helpless. The
manufacturers have the power to dic
tate styles and the new order of
things will come into vogue next sea

GERMANS TRY
JAIL DELIVERY
LANCASTER, Eng., Dec. 4.—A
thousand German prisoners held in the
detention camp here attempted to
make their escape last night but were
prevented by the guards, who shot
down, several of the ringleaders and
the balance of the men halted and
went back to their quarters. None
of the Germans were killed, but sever
al, however, were wounded.
FRENCH DEPUTIES
SOON TO MEET
PARIS, Dec. 4.—The chamber of
deputies will meet on Dec. 22 to pro
vide for the necessary funds to carry
on the war. The financial conditions
are better than expected. Millions of
dollars in gold hidden by the peas
ants have been brought to the govern
ment banks and today the reserve
in the banks is greater than at the
time of the outbreak of hostiliies. The
cost of the war to France is $5,000,
000 to $6,000,000 a day.
GERMAN CAPTAIN
FOOLED ENGLISH
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 4.—'The re
port reached here this morning on
a British freighter of the method used
by the commander of the German
cruiser Emden to locate and capture
British and Japanese merchant ves
sels.
The Emden would call to British
ships asking them if they had seen
the Emden. The ships, believing the
call to come from British warships
would reply no and would give their
position and general course. The
Emden would overtake the ship and
after taking off the crew the boat
would be sunk.
