tion Carried Out at St. Peter's.
Thirty Thousand Pilgrims Were Pres
ent From France With Nearly All
the French Bishops and Many Card
Inals United States Represented

Seton and Kennedy and Bishop
Farrelly of Cleveland.
In the presence of 30,000 French
pilgrims, practically all the bishops of
France, ninny cardinals and descend
ants of the new martyr and patriot,
the solemn ceremonies of the beutlfl
cation of Joan of Arc were carried out
in St. Peter's Sunday. According to
the rule, the pope does not attend beat
iflcatlons in person, but as a mark of
special devotion he assisted at a nol
emn benediction, which replaced the
ceremony of the veneration of relics
none existing In this rase.
Soon after daybreak, streams if T
erinis began to arrive in everv im
nclnable conveyance. They crowded
the great edifice and at 9?30 myriads
of electric llEhts burBt out. and the
organ thundered. The long proces
slon of cardinals took their places. In
the special galleries were the Duke
of Alencon. the sisters of the popt
and a host st French and Italian nota
billtles
Huee pictures, representing the
miracles of Joan of Arc and her stat-
no were nlaced over the altar but
were veiled. The ceremony began
by the reading of the brief, at the last
word of which the veils fell. The stat
ue appeared framed with electric
bulbs, the bells pealed forth and the
massed choirs Intoned the Te Deum,
which wan taken up by the vast throng.
Manv of the pilgrims burst Into frail
tic cheers, which were Immediately
Hinmresspd.
The blshon of Orleans then said the
first pontifical mass In honor of Joan
of Arc. which ended the first portion
of the ceremony. In' the afternoon
the ceremonial was no less lmpres
slve. The holy father passed through
the ranks of kneeling pilgrims, fol
lowed by his court and picturesque
miHrrls. to the altar. After the sing
Ing of the liturgical hymn the advo-
rntes for the beatification presented
to the popo the traditional gifts of a
basket of llowerg and the life of Joan
nf Arc. magnificently bound.
The United States was represented
hv Archhlshoi) OTonnell of Boston
Mgr. Seton. archbichop of Hellopolls,

INTEREST IN WHEAT MARKET
Secretary Wilson Says Present High
Price Is Artificial.
The wheat market will furnish the
feature news of the week. To this
Senator Aldrlch's exposition of the
Renate tariff bill. Important as It is,
nniKt elve nlaoe. It Is known that
congress will not tax the breakfast

the wheat pit at Chicago is a matter
of popular concern.
The non-speculative consumer Is as
Kined bv Secretary of Agriculture WI1
that there is sufficient wheat In
the country at normal prices to sup

marketed and that present prices are
artificial. On the other hand, James

ECONOMY IN MINING
Cost of Production In Anthraclts
Fields Materially Reduced.
Efforts to establish through Captain
W. A. May, general manager of the
Erie coal properties, that the cost of
coal producing in the anthracite
fields had been reduced In recent
years, were made by Attorney J. C.
McReynolds, counsel for the govern
ment in Its suit against the coal carry-
ng railroads.
Mr. McReynolds asked the witness
whether since he had been Interested
In anthracite coal mining operations
there had not been a gradual and
material Improvement In mining tend
ing toward economy.
"Yes, there has been," replied Mr.
May. Since 1899, he said, buckwheat,
rice and barley coal have been mar
keted as by-products. Such coal used
to be thrown into the culm or refuse
bunks.
When asked which of the Pennsyl
vania coal fields he thought would be
first exhausted Captain May replied.
'The Lackawanna. Wait a minute.
Perhaps the Lehigh. I'm not suffi
ciently acquainted there to state posi
tively."
And it is reasonably certain that
ihe Schuylkill wil be exhausted last?"
Yes, sir."

L
Citizens of Ada, Okla., Disgust'
ed With Slowness of Justice.
Mob Took Out Four Men Accused of
Murder of a U. 8. Marshal and
Hinged Them In a Row Did Not
Molest a 17-Yer-Old Boy Who Was
Implicated In the Murder but Who
Had Turned State's Evidence.
Ada, Okla, April 20. Two hundred
citizens of Ada, nearly all of them of
the better class, thoroughly disgust
ed with the justice meted out to crim
inals in the smaller towns of Oklaho
ma, took from jail and hanged four
wealthy land owners for the murder
of Deputy United States Marshal A.
L. Bobbltt. The lynched men were
O. B. Miller, Fort Worth, Tex.; B. B.
Burrell, Duncan, Okla.; Jesse West
and Joseph Allen of Canadian, Texas.
Shortly after 3 a. m. the lynchers
shut off the electric lights, cut the
telephone communication and quietly
gathered near the jail. When all had
assembled, a large man swaggered
out of the darkness and said: "Are
you all ready?" A confused buzzing
was the only anfiwer. The men si
lently made their way toward the Jail.
Protest by County Attorney.
They had scarcely started before
they met County Attorney Robert
Wlmblsh, who had received word that
the mob was forming. The crowd
stopped at his request. Attorney Wlm
blsh said: t
"Men of Ada, you are disgracing
this community In the eyes of the
world. 1 nlnk this matter over calm
ly and let the law take Its course. I
appeal to you as an officer of the law
to return to your homes."
The mob, without a word, proceed
ed on Its way. The attorney attempt
ed again to talk to them.
"This Is no time jfor speeches,"
said the leader, and the march con
tinued. A high board fence surrounding the
jail was partly thrown down and the
crowd entered the enclosure. The
leader advanced and pounded on the
jail door. Only Guard McCarthy was
on duty.
After a conference, three of the
mob threw themselves against the
frail jail door and the mob rushed In,
Guard McCarthy was knocked sense
less with a revolver butt. The four
prisoners were quickly taken out, al
though West fought desperately.
'If you're going to hang me, do It
quick," said Miller.
The mob led the four men to a barn.
a few hundred feet away and stood
them In a straight line.
'Tell us what you devils know about
Bobbltt's murder," shouted the mob
loader.
West answered for the four, saying
"We don't know who you men are,
and we don't care. For myself I know
If I had a six-shooter a few of you
would bite the dust, but that's talk as
long as my 'shooting iron' Is In Texas.
You boys appear to have a job to do.
Why don't you do It? We won't tell
anything, and you
"The ropes," the leader broke in,
and the four prisoners were carried to
a beam and strung up In a row.
Victim Left Diamond For His Wife.
Just before the rope was placed
about his neck. Miller calmly removed
a diamond from his shirt front and re
quested that It be sent to his wife In
Fort Worth. From his necktie he
drew out a diamond scarfpln with the
request that it be given to Guard Mc
Carthy for his kindness to him. As
noon as the men were dead the mob
disappeared. At daylight the bodies
of the lynched men were cut down.
When the mob removed the men
from Jail, they did not molest Oscar
Peeler, 17 years old, who was Impli
cated In the murder, but who had
turned state's evidence. The boy said
that Miller killed Bobbltt and that
Jesse West paid Miller to commit the
murder.
While he bore the reputation of a
"bad man." J. J. Miller of Fort Worth,
one of the four men lynched, was
popular among the best class of citi
zens. His widow and three children
are held In high esteem. Reports
vary as to the number of men Miller
killed, estimates placing It anywhere
from 10 to 30.
Most of his victims were either cat
tle thieves or men whom he Bhot In
self-defense. He was one of the last
of the old-time Texas cattle "klt'js,"
among whom It was a custom to use
the six-shooter In defense of personal
and property rights.
Burrell. another of the four lynched,
while his home was at Duncan, Okla.,
had many relatives In Texas. A
brother and his mother live at Weath
erford. He owned many cattle, It Is
Bald.
Joseph Allen and Jesse West of
Canadian, Tex., were wealthy and
owned tracts of lands and uiimoroiM
herds of cattle. There was an old
feud existing between these two men
and former United States Marsha'.
Bobbltt, and years ago, It Is said.
Bobbltt forced Allen and West to flee
from Texas because of alleged high
way robbery and cattle thefts.
