CRAZEDNEGRD SHOT ! AFTER WOUNDING 13 One Victim May Die—Fight Follows Attempt to In- % spect Store. By The Associnted Press. BIRMINGHAM, Ala., October 11.— One man lay at the point of death to- day and 14 others were wounded while the body of Charlie Pinkston, crazed negro, who late yesterday ran amuck | 1o terrorize the negro section, was in the gnorgue. literally perforated with bujlets from the guns of more than 190 police officers. Apparently losing his mind when Gaorge Kirkhoff, a city sanitation of- fider, attempted to inspect his ice cream stand. Pinkston slashed the in- spector’s throat and fled to a nearby house, where he barricaded himself and took his stand at a window with & shotgun, Machine Guns Used. Deputy Sheriff Sam Williams, arriv- ing a few minutes later to arrest the negro, was met by a shotgun charge which took effect in his abdomen. A riot call brought more than 50 police- men, who endeavored to dislodge the negro with a | ‘rrage from machine guns, pistols and rifles. Failing in this, an armored police car was driven alongside the negro’s stronghold and five tear bombs tossed within. Meanwhile, elght policemen dropped under the fire of the negro. In addi- tion, six persons in a crowd that clog- ged streets about the house were wounded by stray shots, Williams was’ taken to a hospital, where physicians hold slight hope for his recovery. With the arrival of additional offi- cers, several policemen mounted to the roof of an adjacent house, where through a window they could see Pinkston ~staggering about within, apparently almost overcome by the fog of tear gas. Trample on Body. Plain Clothes Officer Woody Sandefer opened fire on the negro, who stag- gered out of range. At the same in- stant, a_squad of detectives and po- lice rushed the room, and Pinkston fell under a voiley of bullets that per- forated his arms, head, shoulders and chest. A riot was narrowly averted as offi- cers were removing the negro's body from the house. Several hundred mem- bers of the mob trampled on Pink- ston's body. They were driven off, however, and the body was taken to police headquarters ~under heavy guard, It was later transferred to a Degro mortuary. MANY DIE AT FESTIVAL.

You do not see such fighters now,” the sad- eyed sportsman wots and weens; “he towered high, you must allow, above these mod:‘m Jacks and Genes.” And Jeffries truly did excel, but at his best, ojd sportsmen sighed, “You should have seen the great John L. in all his youthful strength and pride. He used to journey through the land and take on all who wished to fight, and with his mighty, giant hand he whipped a Jeffries every night. This Jeff is good. as pugs run now, I've gladly watched his swift advance; but had John biffed him on the brow, he'd spent a fortnight in a trance. And when the great John Lawrence made his foemen seem a total loss, men talked of Allen and' of Slade, of Heenan and of old Joe Goss. They journeyed back a hundred years, and dug up fighters long at rest, .and swore, with reminiscent tears, that modern fighters were a jest. The further back the sportsmen went, the more imposing pugs they found; “Old Molyneux! There was a gent who'd whip Gene Tunney in one round!” The world’s still going down the grade, is all the dope the old boys give; the men who sleep in church- vard shade were greater than the ones who live. They us that the men who wrote about two hundred years ago bear off the everlasting goat of those who still weave to and fro. The trotting horses of our sires were better, in the old boys’' view, than are the cars with costly tires in which we gayly chug and choo. WALT MASON.

ROME, October 11.—Pope Plus, in his allocation delivered at the con sistory last May, announced his In tention to uddress an encyclical to the episccpal world dealing with the problem of nationalism. He wished, however, first to close the epis of L'Action Francaise, the Frenc royalist newspaper, now banned by the Pope, which is part of it. Recently a report has been pub- lished gy various newspapers in Rome tat this encyclical will be is sued on October 28—‘celebration of Christ the King"—when the Pontiff will consecrate at St. Peter's the first native Japanese bishop. ment is incorrect becaus stiv- ity of Christ the King is October 30, while October 28 is the arni- versary of the episcopal consecration of the Pope. In any case, authoritative Vatlcari circlues belleve that the encyclical will | be published neither on Octobe nor October 30, but later, as it not considered likely that in the in- terval from now to then the question of L’'Action Francaise will be defi. nitely settled. There was an intima- tion in the last papal allocution of possible excommunication of the ex- treme wing followers of L'Action CHARLES 0.
