NEGROES ESTABLISH COURT IN JAIL; HAS GOOD EFFECT Atlanta, Ga., Nov. .——In the Fulton county tower the winter sea- son hag brought about a revival of the “kangaroo court,” before which every new prisoner must stand trial, and all this week the court did | roshing business. The judge is 2y big black negro prisoner, and the court attaches are all of an equally dusky hue. Every “new nigger" who arrives is immediately tried for the coffense of breaking into jail, and is alwayg convicted on prima facia evi_ dence and set to sweeping the floors or doing other work. The court has grown beyond a joke, however. It is tribunal which impooses punish- ment, for infractions of jail diseip- line and the “sins on the inside.” A prisoner caught stealing tobacco or food from another, or who re- fuses to do his share of the work, is tried, convicted, sen¥2nced and taken down over a chair and given a rousing whipping. The order is 'tar better since the court was in- ;augurated, jail officials say.

As soon as the messaze was received Officers Willlam G. Lan. caster and Joseph Jenkins responded with the pulmotor, going to the scene in a fast automobile, and ar- riving in exactly four minutes after the distress call came in. When they reached Mr. Hattrick, he had every appearance of being beyond human aid. However, clinched teeth were pried apart and the tube of the pul- motor inserted in his mouth. Officer Lancaster worked the pulmotor, automatically forcing pure oxygen into the patient's lungs and drawing out the deadly gas fumes. In a few minutes Mr. Hattrick began to breath regularly and in ten minutes had regained complete conscious- ness. When the phystclans arrived a few minutes later he was sitting up and was out of all danger. \ |Wfl‘. \ Disord Prevail 1 Mexico City MOB LAST NIGHT PARAD- ED THE STREETS, SACKED STORES AND STOPPED STREET CARS Civilians Formed to Protect the City; Red Cross Service Not Molested, as Dead Were Brought In Mexico City, Nov. 25.-——Serious disorders occurred here last night.

DOGS TAKE LEADING PART IN THE WAR (By Associated Press.) Paris, Nov. 2i.—TLovers of dogs will be gratified to know that so im- posing an organization as The In- stitute of Zoological Psychology re- ports that the dogs that accompany the French ambulanceg are hehaving well under fire. The director of this institute testifies: “All reports '‘are 'most encouragingz. Some of the de- tails of thelr iInstructions may be open to question. It is probably bad that they should be taught to bring in the caps and handkerchiefs of wounded soldiers, but our dogs of war are performing noteworthy ser- vice and it is a pity that we have not many more of them." The leader of one scction of the ambulance dogs gays: “The best dog given to me at first pulled so hard on the leash that he tired me out; he would not always return on the first call, a trick that would be un- fortunate under fire; he was terri- fied even by distant artillery and it appeared ag if he would be useless in action. But in a week that dog was valuable beyond words. 1 have teday returned with him from re- coveringz wounded soldierg almost in the enemy’s trenches with incessant din all around him. Tonight just hefore the ambulances were to ree turn | took him out for one last in_ gpection. In a half hour he found three soldiers who otherwise might have died of exposure. Moreover, he never touched one of. them but ran back and forth till T came up to him." A writer in Le Matin claims that the Germans have 37,000 dogg most. 1y purchased in France that are now Leing trained to go with the ambu- lances.
