ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE.
Would-Be Murderer Disappointed by
Judge’s Decision In Case.
Chicago, Dec. 21. —An attempt was
made Friday by Frank F. El leh brock
of this city, ’to assassinate Judge C.
S. Cutting, of the probate court.
The attempt was not successful,
*nd it is difficult to understand how
xhe judge escaped • injury. He was
in-hurt, however.
When Judge Cutting entered the
courthouse he was followed into the
elevator by Ellerbrock, who was dis
appointed by a decision rendered some
time ago by Judge Cutting. Eller
brock stepped close to the side of
the judge and drawing a revolver,
placed it against the judge’s side and
pulled the trigger. The judge
moved slightly at the instant the car
tridge exploded and the bullet passed
through his clothing without touch
ing -Mm. Ellerbrock made another
attempt to fire the revolver, but an
attache of the building named Le
vine, who was in the elevator, knock
ed the revolver from his hand and
grappled with Ellerbrock. The el
evator man and others came to his
assistance and the would-be assas
sin was overpowered and takeu to
police headquarter®, wliich was close
by. There it wa-s said Ellerbrock
gave indications of being insane.

NEGRO IS LYNCHED
BY MOB AT ANNAPOLIS
Masked Men Take Fiend From
, Annapolis Jail.
PERFORATED BODY WITH BALLS
Had Committed Felonious Assault on
White Woman and Confessed His
Crime, Stating that He Would Have
Done It Dead or Alive.
Ammapolis, Md., Dec. 21. —Henry
Davis, alias Henry Chambers, a ne
gro, who committed a felonious as
sault on Mrs. John Reid, of Browns
ville, 5 miles from Annapolis, last
Friday, and who had confessed Ms
crime, was taken from the jail Fri
day morning and lynched by a mob
of about 60 masked men. He was
strung up and his body riddled with
bullets.
The jail is situated in Calvert street
in the western section of the city and
is quite isolated. The mob had no
difficulty in securing the prisoner.
Faking him from his cell, they car
ried him along the road leading to
the scene of his crime. The plans
of the lynchers were kept quiet as no
one except those who participated in
it knew anything about what was to
take place. Their movements were
carefully guarded.
In a statement made after the man
was taken from the jail, Deputy
Sheriff Smallwood, said that about 2
o’clock a man appeared outside the
jail and rang. He said he had a
prisoner. Deptaty Reuben I. Small
wood saw that he had no prisoner
and refused to admit him, whereupon
he left. Soon afterward a mob of
about. 60 men appeared before the jail
with a whipping post and endeavored
to batter down the door. Unsuc
cessful with that means, they pro
cured a sledge and pick, and manag
ed to break a hole through the door
in which one of them crawled and un
locked the door. Then five or six
men entered the building and pro
ceeded to the warden’s room, where
they encountered Warden Taylor,
Deputies Smallwood ana James C.
Crouse, and Night Watchman Mar
cellus. At the point of a pistol the
warden surrendered the keys. In a
few moments more Davis was se
cured and carried out bodily. He
made no resistance. His appear
ance outside the jail was greeted with
yells. He was kicked and beaten by
members of the lynching party and in
a few mimuF s was taken to Brickyard
Hill on the Annapolis, Baltimore and
Washington railroad line.
Here Davis was closely questioned
and again admitted that he had as
saulted his victim, and repeated that
he would have done it living or dead.
As he made this assertion, those
who heard him raised a cry, a rone
was quickly knotted and the noose
slipped over his head.
By this time Davis was nearly un
conscious from frigii.it and the blows
which had been rained upon him.
While in tMs condition Davis was
hctisted up to the limb o<f a tree.
Almost before his feet had left the
ground, a revolver cracked and a bul
let cut a gash through Ms scalp. lit
was the signal for general firing, and
at hast 100 bullets must have riddled
his body.
After a few minutes the body was
cut clown, and pieces of the rope and
clothing were taken by many as sou
venirs. The mob then dispersed.
The personnel of the mob is not
known, blit reliable witnesses t® the
occurrence atate that all of those
who composed it were young in ap
pearance. They all wore masks,
had their faces blackened and each
one was armed with a revolver.
The negro was carried through the
negro section of the city, hut no one
interfered. When people appeared
at the doors or windows they were
warned to remain where they were if
they did not want harm to come to
them.
The police permitted the mob to
have its way, none of the officers

Rules Give Small Relief.
New Orleans, Dec. 21.—Dispatch-
I es from Baton Rouge say that re
plying to questions about freight car
shortage in this state, the Louisiana
railroad commission has informed the
interstate commerce commission thiat
the rules the state commission has
been able to formulate have given
only small relief to shippers. The
statement says: “A remarkable fact
connected wtiith the investigations was
i that immediately preceding the hear
ings the largest shippers—those who
had made most frequent complaint—
withdrew their demand for a car ser
vice rule under which they might
demand and receive cans, and actu
i ally appealed to the commission to
, pass no such rule, urging that they
! felt sure that they would receive bet-,
i ter treatment from the railroads if
n-a auch rule -were adopted."

SAY METCALF SOUGHT FAVOR
I
Board of Education Says Both Roose
velt and Metcalf Have Misstated the
Facts —It Is Declared that City Will
Never Recede.
San Francisco, Cal,, Dec. 21 —Mrs.
Flora B. Harris, now residing at
Tokio, and widely known as a mis
sionary, recently addressee a commu
nication ho the San Francisco board
of education, in which she deplored
San Francisco’s attitude towards the
Japanese in public schools, and crit
icized w.hat she termed the “provin
cial spirit” of the local officials. She
deprecated the attempt .to classify
the Japanese as “orientals,’’ and ex
pressed surprise that the children of
any foreign resident should be “ex
cluded from the public schools.”
The board of education has framed
a reply, which will he mailed to Mrs.
Harris. This reply asserts that the
Japanese have not been “excluded”
from the public schools, “despite the
fact that no less a personage than
the president of the United States
has instigated a similar assertion in
framing a message to congress, and
notwithstanding the wholly unfair
report made of the school incident
by tbe secretary of commerce and
labor, Victor H. Metcalf. Continuing,
the reply says:
“The fact that tihe president of the
United States basing arguments upon
erroneous assumptions, frames
against a loyal people scathing crit
icisms regarding a matter which is
purely one of local concern, does not
in the least deter the people of the
Pacific coast, who, after all, are
uoitbtless the best judges of their own
immediate needs Sad welfare.
' Neither do the misleading deduc
tions and recommendations of a pol
itician high in authority, when voiced
through a document which plainly
sought the light of favor, and not
from truth „ impress the people of this
locality With any sense of doubt as
to their rights as free born Ameri
cans , or as to the justice of the stand
they have taken.
‘ The hoard of education will not
recede from its position, whether the
president of the United States has
been led into error, and now applies
emphatic language to the people of
this state, or whether ambitious sec
retaries distort plain facts and shape
documents that may perhaps he for
midable in a political sense.”

ously hurt. The little baby in the
arms of its mother, was the only es
caping injury. The family was en

Montgomery several days ago that
private parties in Montgomery ’ had
purchased the franchise .and that John
Malarkey would manage the club fn
