The Ottoman government has, according to report, become lax in its manner of government of Tripoli. . It is the claim of Italy 'that Tripali, which is directly south of the Italian peninsula, harbors many thousand Italians, and that these Ital ians are without the proper protection. Italy claims that the nearness of Tripoli to her own domain makes it imperative that Italians there be protected. - Recently the Arabian population of Tripoli, which is the predominant race, have shown marked disapproval of the alleged encroachments of Italian enterprises in their country and have threatened to drive the Italians from Tripoli. , ; Representation of these anarchistic conditions were made to Turkeybyv the Italian government. , The Turkish replies to the Italian representations have not been ac ceptable to the latter government. An utlimatum was sent by Italy to Turkey, in which it was stated that Italians in Tripoli must be protected, and that Italy proposed to do this, in view of the failure of Turkey to da so. Turkey's reply to this ultimatum, sent to Rome, failed to appease the Italian ministry, and -a declaration of war followed. MOB LYNCHES WHITE MAN Father of Mulattoes Who Killed Offi cers Strung Up to Water Tank. . Dumas, Ark. Forcing their way in to the Desha county jail here between fifty and one hundred men, members of a mob formed so quietly that the authorities had not the slightest warning, overpowered the deputies in charge and took Charles Malpass, Sr., white, to a water tank and hanged him. The mob then dispersed with out demonstration. None of its mem bers is known to the authorities, ac cording to their statement. The lynching followed a pitched battle at the home of Malpass, in which Sheriff W. D. Preston, of this county, Deputy- Sheri Barney Stiel and two mulatto . sons of Malpass were killed and Malpass wounded. Malpass' injuries were at first believ ed to be mortal, but when he was brought here and placed in jail his wounds were found not to be serious. The wife of Charles Malpass, Sr., a negress, and Malpass' younger son, young mulatto, escaped from the house during the fighting. The au thorities say they do not think the negress and the boy engaged ia the battle, and, for this - reason, it is not thought the two will be sought fur ther in - connection with the affair. The sheriffs posse had gone to the Malpass liouse to arrest the two mu latto sons of Malpass. "J : ! 0 The authorities say the community lived in a state of almost - constant terror because of the Malpass. fam ily, against which prevailed intense feeling.

LUMBER CQKIBINE RULES 20 STATES THE SENSATIONAL CHARGE MADE IN SUIT FILED By GOVERN MENT AGAINST TRUST... ; SOUTHERN FIRMS INVOLVED Lumber Associations in Georgia, Ala bama, Tennessee, Mississippi and Louisiana Named. Denver. Sensatiohalvcharges that the so-called lumber trust completely dominates the lumber trade of at least twenty states'; by maintaining a spy systenv-blacklists, divisions of territory and mother, alleged illegal methods conducted through a central agency in Chicago, called the Lumber Secretaries' Bureau of information, are made in an anti-trust suit filed in the United States- court here by the department of justice. This is the r government's fourth move in a nation-wide fight against the lumber '"trust" in addition to the criminal indictments already standing against the secretaries of fourteen lumberman's associations. Anti-trust suits tinder the Sherman law are now" pending against the Michigan Retail Lumber Dealers Association and the Eastern States Retail - Lumber Deal ers' Association: , ' The Secretaries Bureau and the Colorado and Wyoming Lumber Deal ers' association are defendants in the action filed.

It is charged that a dealer is pre vented from-soliciting or competing for business in the territory of an other, that contracting builders and tion have been watched by detectives from buying at wholesale; that, lum ber dealers who have not obeyed the "ethics" prescribed by the organiza tion have bene watched' by detectives from the central bureau and their "ir regular" "sales published to other members of the association; that they have been . "blacklisted" and have found it difficult to continue busi ness. The effect of all this, the gov ernment alleges, has been to fix prices and restrain trade. The bill is replete with allegations of threats and intimidations said to have been practiced upon manufac turers, wholesalers and so-called "uri ethical." The government alleges that each of the following lumber, associations, in addition to the Colorado and Wyo ming, are represented in the ."clear ing house." ' ; Northwestern Lumber association, Southwestern Lumber Dealers' associa tion, Michigan Retail Lumber Dealers' association, Indiana Retail Lumber Dealers'; association, Ohio Lumber Dealers' association Illinois Retail Lumber Dealers association Wiscon sin Lumber Dealers' association, Ne braska Lumber association, Western Retail Lumber Dealers' association, Retail Lumber Dealers association of Tennessee, Georgia and Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana Retail Lum ber association, Pennsylvania Lumber Dealers' association, the Lumbermen's Association of Texas and the Retail Lumber Association ;of West Tennes see and Kentucky.
