Arm yourselves quickly, gen tlemen, and may God have mercy upon the .souls of those eleven murderers.” He leaped lightly down and the great assemblage burst into motion, streaming out Canal street like a storming army. It boiled into side streets and through every avenue which led in the direction of the prison. At ^ach corner it gathered strength; every thoroughfare belched forth reinforcements; hundreds who had seething tide, and - went shouting to the very gates of the jail.

The sound died away. The girls stood frozen at attention, with their senses strained. Then it rose again, louder. Soon there was no mistaking it. A whisper came upon the breeze, it mount ed into a long-drawn humming, which in turn grew to a steady drone of voices broken by waves of cheering.

Sent free echoed to a babble^ of voices, to the shuffle and tread of a coming multitude, and an instant later out of every thor oughfare which fronted upon the grim old prison structure streamed the people of New Orleans. Then through the press came a body of silent men, four abreast and shoulder to shoulder. The crowd opened to let them through, cheering fretiziedly. They wore an air of sober responsibility, they carried guns, and looked neither to the right nor left. Directly beneath the waiting women they passed, and at their head marched Norvin Blake and Bernie Dreux, together with two men unknown to the girls. Vittoria leaned forward horror-strick en and although she tried to call, she did not hear her voice above the con fusion; Oliveta clutched her, murmuring distractedly. The avenues were jammed from curb to curb; telegraph poles, lamp posts, trees held a burden of human forms; windows and housetops were filling in every direction; a continuous roar beat thunderously against the prison walls. * The armed vigilantes drew up before the main gate and a man smote it with the butt of his shotgun, demanding en trance. The crowd, anticipating a volley from within, surged back, leaving them isolated. A dozen bluecoats struggled to clear the sidewalks next the struc ture, but they might as well have tried to stem a rising tide with their naked hands; they were buffeted briefly, then swallowed up.

The armed men swarmed into the opening and disappeared one by one; all but two, who stood with their backs to the door and faced the crowd warn- ingly. It was evident that some sort of order prevailed among them, and that this was more than an unorganized as sault. Thouh the close-packed ranks, on and on around the massive pile ran the word that an entrance had been effected; It was telegraphed from housetop to house top. Then a silence descended, the more sinister and ominous because of the pan demonium which had preceded it. Thus far Vittoria and her companion had seen and heard all that occurred, for ther position commanded & view of both fronts of the building, but now they had ther ears alone to guide them. “Come! Let us leave now. We have seen enough,” Vittoria cried, and strove to drag Oliveta from her post. But the girl would not yield; she did not seem to hear, her eyes were fixed with straineo and fascinated horror upon that shattered aperture which showed like a gaping wound. Her bloodless lips were whisper ing, her fingers, where they ripped the iron railing, were like claws. “Quickly! Quickly!” moaned Vittoria “We did not come to see this monstrous thing. Oliveta, spare yourself!” In the silence her voice sounded so loudly and shrilly that people on the adjoining bal cony turned curious, uncomprehending faces toward her. Moment after moment that hush con tinued, then from within came a re>- newed hammering, hollow, measured; above it sounded the faint cries of ter rified prisoners. This died away after a time, and some one said; “They’re into the corridors at last. It won’t be long now.” A moment later a dull, unmistakable reverberation rolled forth, like the smothered sound of a subterranean ex plosion; it was followed by another and another—gunshots fired within brick walls and flag paved court yards. . It shattered that sickening, unending suspense which caused the pulse to flutter and the breath to lag; the crowd j gave tongue in a howl of hoarse delight. Then followed a peculiar, shrilling chorus—that familiar signal known as the “dago whistle”—which was like the piercing cry of lo^t souls. “Who killa da chief?” screamed the hoodlums, then puckered their lips and piped again that mockiqg signal. As the booming of the guns continued, now singly, now in volley, the maddened populace squeezed toward that narrow entrance through which the avengers had disap peared, but they were halted by the guards and forced to content them selves by greeting every shot with an exultant cry. The streets in all direc tions were tossing and billowing like the waves of the sea; men capered and flung their arms aloft, shrieking; wom en and children waved their aprons and kerchiefs, sobbing and spent with ex citement. It was a wild and grotesque scene, unspeakably terrible, inhumanly ferocious. Through it the two Sicilian girls clung to each other, fainting, revolted, fascinated. When they could summon strength they descended to the street and fought their way out of the bed lam. Norvin Blake was not a willing par ticipant in the lynching, although he had gone to the meeting at the Clay statue determined to do what he con sidered his duty. He had felt no doubt as to the outcome of the mass meeting even before he saw Its giant propor tions and even before it had sounded its approval of the first speaker’s words, for he knew how deeply his townspeople were stirred by the astounding miscarriage of justice. At the rally of the committee on the aft ernoon previous it had been urged to proceed with the execution at once, and the counsel of the more conservative had barely prevailed. Blake knew per haps better than his companions to what lengths the rage of a mob will go, and he confessed to a secret fear of the result. Therefore, although he marched in the vanguard of the storming party* it was more to exercise a restraining influence and to prevent violence against unoffending foreigners than to take part in the demonstration. As for the actual shedding of blood, his in stinct revolted from it, while his rea son recognized its necessity and de fended it. Bernie Dreux’s amazing assumption of dictatorship had relieved him of the duty of heading the mob—a thing for which he was profoundly grateful. When the main body of vigilantes had armed Itself he fell in beside his friend with some notion of helping and protecting him. But the little man proved amply equal to the occasion. He was unwaveringly grim and determined. It was he who faed the oaken gate and demanded entrance in i the name of the people; it was he who I suggested the use of the battering ram, land it was he who first fought his way j through the breach, at the risk of bullets from within. Blake followed to find him with his fowling-piece at the head of the prison captain, and there followed a delay while the gate was broken down. Meanwhile from within came the sound of turning locks and of clanging steel doors, also shuffling of many feet and cries of mortal terror, which told that the prisoners had been freed to shift for themselves in this extremity. In truth, a scene was being enacted within more terrible than that outside, for as the deputies released the pris oners, commanding them to save them selves if they could, a frightful confu sion ensued. Not only did the eleven Sicilians cry aloud to God, but the other inmates of the place, who feared their crimes had overtaken j them, joined in the appeal. Men and women, negroes and whites, felons and minor evildoers, rushed to and fro along the galleries and pas sageways fighting with each other, tear ing each other from place of refuge, seeking new and securer points of safe ty. They huddled in dark corners, they crept under beds, beneath stairways, and into barrels. They burrowed into rubbish pil^s only to be dragged out by the hair or the heels and to see their jealous com panions seize upon these sanctuaries. Terror is swiftly contagious; the whole place became a seething pit of dismay. Some knelt and prayed, while others trampled upon them; they rose from their knees to beat with bleeding fists upon barred doors and blind par titions, but as their fear of death In creased and the chorus of their despair mounted higher there came another pounding, nearer, louder—the sound of splitting wood and of rending metal. To escape was impossible; to remain was madness; of hiding , places there was a fearful scarcity. The regulators came rushing into the prison proper, with footsteps echoing loudly through the barren corridors. Out into the open court they swarmed, then up the iron stairways to the gal leries that ringed it about, peering into cells as they went, ousting the wretched inmates from remotest corners. But the chamber in which they knew their quarry had been housed was empty, so they paused undecided, while from all sides came the smothered sounds of terror, like the mewling and squeaking of mice hidden in a wall. Suddenly some one shouted, “There they are!” and pointed to the topmost gallery, which ran in front of the con demned cells. A rush began, but at the top of the winding stairs another grat ing barred the way. Through this, however*, could be seen Salvatore di Marco, Giordano Bolla, and the elder Cressi. The three Sicilians had fled to this last stronghold, slammed the steel door behind them, and now crouched in the shelter of a brick column. Some one hammered at the lock, and the ter rified prisoners started to their feet with an agonized appeal for mercy. As they exposed themselves to view a man fired through the bars. His aim was true; Di Marco flung his arms aloft and pitched forward on his face. Crazed by this, his two companions rushed madly back and forth, but they were securely penned in and appeal was futile. Another shot boomed deafen- TERRIBLE CONDITIONS OF E "Mother Jones” Tells Mass Meeting She Has Seen Min ers Slain While Asleep (By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.—“Mother” Jones, veteran organizer of the United Mine Workers of America, describing the conditions in the West Virginia coal fields, at a mass meeting here last night, declared she had seen women and children, wives and families of the striking miners thrust out of their homes and forced to live in the moun tains without food or shelter for four days and nights. She declared she had seen twenty-one strikers in a party of thirty killed while asleep in their cabin by a posse of officers. Representative Wilson, who said he spoke from personal knowledge, vouch ed for “Mother” Jones’ statements. Resolutions were adopted demanding that congress investigate conditions in the strike region. FRENCH EDITOR MAY BE HELD AT ELLIS ISLAND (By Associated Press.) NEW YORK, Jan. 11.—E. H. James, editor of the Paris Liberator, which printed the libelous story of a marriage of King George of England, to a daugh ter of Admiral Culme-Seymour, before he became king, probably will be de tained when he arrives in New York late today, or early tomorrow on the La Provence, of the French line. It was said today that orders had been received for his detention, and that if James acknowledged the authenticity of the statements attributed to him before he sailed from France, that efforts will be made to deport him. James is on his way to this country with the announced intention of defend ing Edward Mylius, who was Imprisoned in England for uttering the libel as au thor of the story and who is being de tained at Ellis Island as author of the story, and therefore an undesirable alien. A lengthy brief in Mylius’ case is now in the hands of Secretary of Commerce and Labor Nagel, counsel for the writer, claiming that the crime of which he was judged guilty in England did not involve moral turpitude.

New York Physicians Have Many Cures to Their Credit NEW YORK, Jan. 6.—Advices from every direction fully confirm previous reports that the remarkable treatment for epilepsy being administered by the consulting physicians of the Waterman Laboratories is achieving wonderful re sults.

THREE ARE SENTENCED FOR ASSAULTING WOMAN DALTON, Ga., Jan. 11.—Ben Staten, Pink Miller and Joe Mathis today were found guilty of criminal assault upon a white woman and sentenced to five years imprisonment. The superior court jury acquitted Bill Guff, on trial with the other defendants, and recommended mercy in the case of the other prisoners. Charges against the men resulted from an invasion of Manlytown, Ga,. by four persons in disguise at which time a white woman was assaulted. ingly in the close confines of the place, and Cressi plunged to his death; then Bolla followed, his bloody hands grip ing the bars, his face upturned in a hideous grimace, and his eyes, which stared through at his slayers, glazing slowly. Down the ringing stairs marched the grim-featured men who had set them selves this task, and among them Ber nie Dreux strode, issuing orders. The weapon in his hand was hot, hie shoul der was bruised, for he had long been accustomed to the use of firearms. (Continued in next issu.) IS DISMISSED BY COURT Deposed Venezuelan President Must Now Await Decision of Immigration Officials (By Associated Press.) NEW YORK, Jan. 11.—The writ of habeas corpus in the case of Cipriano Castro, former president of Venezuela, was dismissed by Judge Holt in the United States district court today. Immigration officials when they heard Judge Holt’s decision, said probably they would proceed to determine Castro’s eli gibility to entry to the United States un der the immigration law. The decision of the New York immigration inspectors will be revised personally by Secretary Nagel. In dismissing the writ Judge Holt held that Castro should not be allow ed to enter the country until pending a decision of the board. H e will there fore remain on Ellis Island. This sustains the contention of the government that the federal courts should not interfere in the case until the board of inquiry at Ellis Island shall have passed on Castro’s right to enter. The board has not yet announc ed its findings. When its decision is made known it is thought that Castro may again seek the court’s aid. SCHOOL FOR DISCONTENTS PROVES TO BE VALUABLE (By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.—The “School for Discontented Children” is the title of a special report issued today by the United States bureau of education, set ting forth experiments that have been conducted in Kansas City, Mo. These experiments have been in connection with children of fourteen years and up ward who lose interest in their school work ^and whose further advancement along ordinary educational lines appears impossible. Many, the educators have found, can not absorb more than a certain amount of knowledge. To make useful citizens of thi£ latter class, the “school for the discontented” was established. The intricacies of grammar were dropped, and reading, writing and geog raphy were taught only to the extent where they would prove useful in the pursuit of trade or business. Most of the school time is given to Instruction in useful trades, the girls being pre pared for self-support as well as the boys. Dr. P. P. Claxton, commissioner of education, declares this type of school will solve a vexed educational problem. “Because,” he says, “schools of this kind are designed to fill needs of a large class of boys and girls to whom sufficient at tention has not hitherto been paid.” RAILROAD TO LINK MOULTRIE AND MEIGS (Special Dispatch to The Journal.)

Jan. 11.—Wash ington will soon be in the throes of a municipal discussion over the changing of the charter of the city. Friends of the commission form of government are advocating its adoption, and they are using every effort to bear to have this form of government adopted. An election for mayor and council for the ensuing two years will occur Mon day, and it has not been definitely set tled whether this form of government will be submitted to a vote, or wait until the advocates can present the mat ter in a better shape to the voters. MORGAN MAY RE CALLED RY SHIP TRUST PROBE May Be Asked About $140, 000,000 American Corpora tion Owning Foreign Lines (By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.—Chairman j Alexander, of the shipping trust inves tigating committee, announced today that a subpena probably would be is sued for J. Pierpont Morgan to have him tell the committee details of the organization of the International Mer cantile Marine, the $140,000,000 Amer ican corporation, owning and controll- irg a number of foreign steamship lines. Mr. Morgan is In Europe, but Chair man Alexander said that his testimony would not be needed until the time set for his return. How agreements as to rates and serv ice are maintained between steamship lines between New York and the far east and India was described to the committee by Paul Gottheil, whose firm represents a number of the largest north Atlantic companies. Mr. Gottheil was questioned at length concerning alleged agreement among all of the big North Atlantic lines including the Hamburg-American, North German-Lloyd, Holland-American and Red Star to divide the ports of Europe. The ‘Witness insisted that while it was entirely possible there was an understanding by which one line would not send its vessels to th e port of another, yet there was strong com petition between the companies because cargoes were destined for points be*- yond the ports at which they were dis charged.

SEITZ* D 70, FREE To You Who Are Sick I Offer a Complete $2.50 TreatmentFree Let me say right at the start that no money Is asked or ex- p e c t e d. I make this r e m arkable offer of my own free will and accord. I am finan cially able to do so. It is my way— the way I have chosen for doing good — the way I have thought out by which I can best send help and comfort, health and strength out into this world of so much sick- n e 8 s and suffering, it is for you to accept or refuse as you like. It is for you to choose —whether your trouble, with all its pain, danger, fear and uncertainty, shall continue—or whether it shall be taken away. But in the choosing, remember this—health was God’s most pre cious gift to you. and it is as much your duty to regain and keep it as to guard aud protect your life. “What is my offer?” you ask. Listen. In my thirty years’ experience in medicine I have learned many strange things. For one thing I’ve learned that Heart Disease kills more lieople every day than anything else on earth. I’ve also learned that Heart Disease hardly ever exists alone—by itself, that other organs—Stomach, Bowels, Kid neys, Liver, Lungs, etc., are almost nlwavs affected, too. Why? Think for a minute and you'll answer the question yourself— it’s because the Heart Is the VITAL organ of the body—because it governs all the other organs, supplies EVERY organ—every Specialist Clearwater Who Makes This Gen erous Offer. nerve, muscle and tissue with blood and LIFE and power to do their work. Stop the Heart’s beat and /death strikes instantly. You know that. And let the Heart get weak or wrong In any way and the whole system—the whole body from Brain to tiniest blood vessel suffers, too. But you say “I haven’t any Heart trou ble. MY Heart is all right.” Ah! But lots of people ~hink and say the self-same thing. Why, only a short time ago 1 bad a pitiful tear-stained letter from a little 11- year-old girl down in Georgia telling me how her mother fell dead before her with the little baby iu her arms. Now the woman thought HER Heart was all right. She would not believe me—even refused to take the treat ment or heed the warning and the good ad vice that I had sent her free. Six persons in every ten have Heart Trou ble, though many of them do not know it. 30,000 victims die of it in America every year. And so I say unless you are sure, unless you KNOW, for Heaven’s sake don’t take any more chances—Just stop a bit right here and find out for a certainty where you stand. ^ HEART DISEASE SYMPTOMS, are very plain when once they are known aud understood. The great trouble is that most people don’t know what the symp toms are—don’t know what they mean when they have them. Another thing—a great many people are misled and deceived into thinking their trouble is something else. Thousands—perhaps you among them—are to day doctoring the Stomach, Kidneys, Liver. Nerves or Sexual Organs for some SUP POSED trouble, when all the time it's the Heart causing it all. In other words, you may be treating the symptoms and not the disease itself. Following are the most common signs— the really sure symptoms of Heart Disease. Go over these CAREFULLY, one by o’je, and see if any are your symptoms. T'.iat will tell the story: Do you tire easily? Do you have headaches ? Does your Heart flutter? Does it ever skip heats ? Do you start in your sleep? Are you short of breath? Does your Heart palpitate? Do you feel “weak” and run down? Do you have numb or dizzy spells? Do you have weak, sinking spells? • Are you nervous and irritable? Do your feet, legs or ankles swell? Does your Stomach have an “all gone” feeling? Do you have pain in Hfcart, side or under ^ioulder blade ? Of course, no case has nlW— some of the very worst only a few. Therefore, if you find that even one or two of them are YOUR symptoms, you should act at once, for you may be in grave danger. You know Heart Disease don’t wait. It comes like a thief, develops quickly, and strikes without warning. AND HERE IS MY OFFER. If you have one of these symptoms; if you have reason to think that you have even tbe slightest Heart trouble or weakness, write me now. I am confident I can help you. Or, again, if you have known for some time that you have Heart trouble—even though your case is chronic, deep seated and has resisted other treatment; even though you may have been told that you cannot l*e cured—I urge you all the more strongly to write me at once—It is iu just such stubborn and seemingly hopeless cases that our scien tific, effective treatment has accomplished most remarkable results. The very day I hear from you I will ar range to send you by mail postpaid and se curely sealed— A COMPLETE FREE TREATMENT. for your case; a letter of advice explaining your case fully. Also a Medical Book that in plain words and with clear pictures tells all about your trouble, explains about your Heart—what it does, how it works, and the relation to all the rest of your body. The book is valuable: do not lose sight of this part of my offer—many people—among them several physicians, say it’s the best book of its kind ever written. Remember it is all FREE—The Book—The Letter of Advice—The Full Course of Treat ment. There are no “strings” to this offer. Neither is it a C. D. I>. scheme or anything of the kind. I ask for no money—I send you no medicine, expecting you to pay later. You bind yourself in no way. It is nothing but a genuine, generous, honest, free offer to the sick. I am making this same offer in some of the best papers in America be sides The Atlanta Semi-Weekly Journal, be cause It seems to me to bo the best way to quickly get advice and help—-this certain ef fective treatment into the hands of every sufferer—everywhere.

It has reached—I don’t mean just temporarily, but lastingly—a legion of cases many of which we* , «» believed boneless. I am particularly anxious to hear from those who aren’t quite sure just what their trouble is—from those who are doctoring tbe Stomach, Liver, Kidney, Nerves, etc., but get little or no better. In nine out of ten such cases the real trouble is with tbe Heart. Anyway, you will get the truth here—you will then know what to do. Tbe free course of treatment that we send will strengthen and regulate the Heart. It will tone up the Stomach, Kidneys aud Liver. It will give strength and vitality to the Nerves ami Nerve Centers and build up* the whole system.

And all the ox periencc I have gained—together with that of the medical talent associated witli me. Is. yours gladly and freely just for the asking.
