L eKY STRIKE ci 6areHe Its toasted ASKED MEN WHIP FLORIDA MINISIER Coat of Tar and Feathers Also Ap plied-Ordered to go Away Episcopal Archdeacon, Serving Negro Church, Maltreated in Miami. Miami, Fla., July 17.-Eight mask ed men waylaid the Rev. Phillip Irwin, archdeacon of the English Episcopal church and hcad of the work of that church among sotuh Florida negroes, at the close of his evening services tonight and ap lied a coat of tar and feathers to him. He was then placed in a sack and taken in an automobile to a spot near the business center of this, city and (umped on to the street from the car. Certain doctrines of Archdeacon Irwin, said to have been objection table to white residents, are thought to have been the reason for the deed. His assailants have not as yet been apprehended. Be~ore being tarred and feathered, Irwin was carried into some woods hear Miami, where he was stripped, tied to a tree and whipped. The group R of masked men outlined their pro gram to him before it weas executed and then gave him 48 hours within which to leave Miami. According to the story related by Irwin at police headquarters he was just driving into his own yard when two cars drove up in front of his home. A man stepped out of one car and asked for the loan of a wrench. Irwin supplied the tool and carried it to the car when four masked men stepped out of each machine and seiz ed him, aflixing a pair of handeuffs on his _wrists. A mask was placed over his face and the two cars drove to the piece of woods where the whipping was staged. "They told me that unless I left Miami within 48 hours they would lynch nie," said Irwin. "They tied me to either a tree or log after stripping me and applied a strap to, my naked . body about. 40 times. The men then poured tar over me and applied feathers to the tar.

"I was then asked if I intended heeding the warning-given me and I told them no, and that I would not leave until ordered to do so by some proper authority. They then placed a sack over my head and drove me back to the city and threw me into the street." J He was picked up by a policeman and taken to police headquarters.

The congregation of St. Agnes Episepal church of which he is rector is ebm )osed entirely of negroes. Three other white men and several negroes are to receive the same treatment as that accorded Archdea Con Irwin, according to the story related by the victim of the tar and feather party. The masked men while applying th;e coat of tar told hiin that thev wevre prepared to give these othcr3 the same punish ment and warning. Several weeks ago, a negro preacher named Higgs was taken fron Coconut Grove near here, and after being whipped, w-s order ed to leave the country. He sailed for Nassau, Bahama Islands, two (lays later. So far as the p, 'ce have been able to ascertain no on, saw the masked men take Irwin from Miami or bring him back. There were no disturbances in the negro section of the city following the Irwin affair. MUCH RUM MAKING IN PUERTO RICO San Juan, P. R., July 3.-There are 10,000 stills in operation in the island, in violation of the Volstead act and local laws, in the opinion of the prohibition director's staff. This opinion is substantiated by a recent statement of Antonio R. Bar celo, president of the senate. The prohibition director's office holds that so long as light fines and sentences are imposed, rum making in the island ca not be suppressed. - o Rub-My-Tism is a powerful anti septic.

The United States Depart ment of Agriculture has given consid erable attention to this loss with a view of ascertaining how far improved methods can be econoncally introduc.. ed to adjust waste. It is true, experts point out, that sometimes the time and labor involved in checking a small loss in worth more than the saving. Nevertheless, there are many leaks on almost every thrashing job which might easily be stopped if the farm c or machine operator would spend a few hours in the study of the problem and a few dollars in replacing worn and damaged parts. Feeding the grain into the machine, adjustn- 'I of the cleaner, and other small items go to make u) a total that may mean gain or loss. Much grain is wasted by failure to clean 1) at tle end of the ett ing.
