SIZE LIMIT OF PARCELS ,

Ith a mob of several hundred

men crowding down Main street with

a slouching figure In the center,

rope arouud his body, strangers and

many townspeople came to the excus

able conclusion last evening that there

was to be a lynching bee. Quite a

number followed the mob as It made

Us way to Round-up Park, but. In

stead of seeing the victim strung up

to a tree or telephone pole, they saw

him undressed, cast into a pool of wa

ter, given a bar of soap and made to

bathe.

The victim Is a well" known charac

ter about town, noted for his dirty

appearance. His uncleanllness be

came so obnoxious to a number of

young men that they organized the

ciean-up mob last evening. It took

maneuvering for about an hour before

the quarry could be landed. He re

mained inside of a eating house for

some time but at last was nabbed as

he come out. The crowd hustled him

down Main to Court and was start

ing down Court with him when Offi

cer Scheer took note of the mob. See

ing a man in the center with a rope

Boout mm, tie came to the rescue and

uwratea the victim.

Aoout 15 minutes later, however,

the mob again made a captive of the

....... aim nurrieu mm into a waiting

auio on Vtebb street. Followed by a

couple of hundred on foot, the auto

cnugged its way to Round-up Park.

The swimming pool was empty but

the concrete basin which receives the

water as It pours Into the park was

full to overflowing. Taking off the

nan's garments, the leaders of the

mob cast him Into the waters where

he stood in a September morn nose

shivering ln the cool July night. Soap

nas passed to him and he was told

to rub and scrub. Relieved that he

was not to be lynched, the man fell

to his task with a will and his body

received a thorough scrubbing before

his supervisors gave the word fori

him to emerge.

The mob declares that this Incident!

should be taken as a warning by all

slovenly persons in the city.

workingmen are now shedding their

oiooa in ne trenches to save the na

they will say to the government, 'We

want no more wars the things which

make them possible must be wiped

out.' "

This was the statement of Ramsey

McDonald, noted labor leader, in dis

cussing the present labor situation in

England. McDonald scoffed at the

possibility of labor fighting conscrip

tion. He said conscription will be op

posed by argument but that there will

be no violence should the workers be

overruled.

"Labor realizes the government is

In difficulty and must be helped

out. ' said McDonald. "This means

industrial grievances will be over

looked, and strikes postponed until

after the war."
