W. Green, supreme chancellor of the Colored Knights of Pythias, was taken off a train near that town last night by a mob of white men and lynched in the woods. Green, it is said has been insisting on riding in Pullman sleeping cars in States where the Jim Crow law is in effect. Pullman porters are said to have told of the lynching at Milton. They said Green had left the white coach and_gone“to the negro com-| partment when taken from the train. Green was wealthy. He had head- quarters here in Pythian Temple, an eight-story building and the only sky scraper inthe world owned by negroes.

A similar resolution was introduced in the House by Representative Tav- enner of Illinois. - Senator Cummins attempted to get immediate action on his resolution which would authorize the greatest investigation of ‘so-called lobbying’’ ever undertaken by Congress. Senator Gallinger at first objected to the resolution as ‘“‘absurd.’’ Later he withdrew his objection but on de- mand of Senator Owen the Cummins’ resolution finally went over one day without action. The proposed investigation would require all Senators to give names of any persons who had approached or written them in the interest of chang- es in the Tariff Law; would request President Wilson to furnish the names of persons referred to in his state- ment yesterday that a great and powerful lobby was at work and would authorize the senatorial com- mittee to determine whether the ac- tion of any lobbyists who might be discovered was “‘unproper orimprop- Ciena = FRISCO RECEIVERS NAMED President Winchell and Thomas H.
