Rioting began this morn.ni; when
[a mob bent on lynching William Lock-)
'ett, a negr0 who confessed to lhei
murder last week of ten year old |
iGeneva Hard man, was fire J upon
with rifles and machine guns by state i
militiamen as the mob was storming I
the Fayette county courthouse to get [
!the negro during his trial. |f.
Had Just Confessed. |
The attempt to lytich Lockett was I ^
made just after he ha(i confessed to (c
the murder and as the jury found
him guilty of murder in the first de-|
gree. He was sentenced to die in the',
electric chair March 11.
t r
j The shooting temporarily disper-'
sed the mob a?d gave the authorities;
time in which to rush Lockett to a j
secret place of safety. The mob re- i
formed, however, and looted pawn'shops
and hadware stores to get fire-;*'
arms. ,
Following an attack upon the hand,
ful of national guardsmen on duty,
the authorities appealed to Governor.
Morrow for assistance. As a result '
300 troops, members of the Twenty-5'j
sixth and Twenty-eight infantry ar- ^
rived at 3 'clock on a special train ^
! from Camp Taylor.
The federal troops immediately be-;
Jgan the work of patrolling the streets ^
to keep crowds from congregating. tj
Lockett, arrested last Tuesday'
night and held in the State penitenjliary
at Frankfort for safe keeping,!
was indicted last week and was1.
brought liere on a speci.il train thisj
'morning for trial. He was heavily
guarded. (1
Hundreds of farmers from the surrounding
country arrived e'trly to attend
the trial, and sullenly watched;^
the prisoner as he was marched from|r(
jthe train to the courthouse between |
lines of Stnte troopers. When the L
;trial opened, the court room wasjIc
crowded to capacity. Everyone was I
searched for firearms beforP being !s(
admitted to the courthouse. Hundreds C(
were unable to gain admission to the1
court room and congregated in the:'
'street in front of the courthouse. ljt
"Let's Get Him." jjj
The cry, "Let's get him," from a'
brawny farmer on the outskirts of (j
the crowd, turned the crowd into a'vj
mob which began surging toward the
entrance to the building. Soldiers
and police dropped back into close ,
;formation and trained their guns on
the mob, which never hesitated. ,jj
Adjt. Gen. Deweese, in command
of jhe militiamen, shouted a final ~
warning to trio crowu aim tnon tired a ()
revolver into the air. It was the signal
for the troops tr, fire.
Soldiers and police fired point
blank into the crowd and a nearby!,
machine pun rattled. From the win-ij,
dows of the court room above anoth- '
er hail of bullets spattered down on '
the asphalt street. j
Four men fell at the first volley. j
The mob. which had surged half- j
way up the steps, pressed back and.S
broke. Quick action on the jrart of,
the authorities irot the negro out of j
the building.

OOVKR SAYS HE'S NOT *
CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT 1
? i
New York, Feb. 8?"I have not
night and am not seeking the presi- t
jncy. I am not a candidate. I have i
3 'organization.' No one is authoriz- i
i to speak for me politically.'' (
Herbert Hoover thus disposed of t
le rumors of his candidacy for the ?
residential nomination in a state- j
ent given out here tonight. He also ?
tok occasion to define his political i
rith, saying: . t
"I am being urged by people in i
)th parties to declare my allegance
i either one or the other. Those j
ho know me know that I am able to ,
ake up my mind when a subject is (
early defined. Consequently, until (
more definitely appears what the (
irtv managers stand for, I must ex eise
a prerogative of American cit- (
ensliip and decline to pledge my ,
ite blindfolded."
.Mr. Hoover states that his only
jlftieal desire is to see ,fle vital isies
that have grown out of war set- (
ed with a view to the welfare of the
metican people and announces his
nqualified support of the league of ?
actions. Of this he says:
"If the treaty goes over to the preslential
election (with any reservaons
necessary to clarify the world's ^
ilnd that there can be no infringe- ,
ient of the safeguards provided by j
,ir constitution and our nation's old |
editions.) then 1 must vote for the ,
irty that stands for the league. <
"With it there is hope, not only of .
te prevention of war, but also that ,
e can safely economize in military ,
olicies. There is hope of earlier re- |
lrn of confidence and the economic
'construction of the world. ,
"I could not vote with a party if (
were dominated by groups who seek ,
> set aside our constitutional guarutees
for free speech or free repre- |
intanon. wno nope to re-esisionsn i
mtrol of the government for profit|,
nd privilege. j!
"I could not votp with it party if ]
were dominated by groups who ,
opp for any form of socialism, ,
hether it be nationalization of in- <
ustry or other destruction of indi- |
idual initative. ' I
"I do not believe in more than two ,
real parties. Otherwisp combinations ,
f groups could, as in Europe. createj
danger of minority rule. I do be-|
eve in party organization to support ;
reat ideals and to carry great issues)

A IMea for Physical Culture.. j
Editor Herald?S0 many of our!
boys .ind girls seem not to appreciate '
the valitp of some foun of exercise to:
lid in physical culture. No matter '
what line of work a person intends
following utter the completion of 1
(lis scholastic or collegiate work, lie
should carry with him a strong bodyj
that will cause him to he healthy and,
not so easy to take all kinds of di-1'
seases.
If there be a man in any kind of 1
work that should take private gym-,
mastic training, should he not be near
ii public Y. M. C. A. or some other
such organization?it is the man
works indoors. In the off a the air|
is not usually fresh and healthful,
and surely fresh air is vital to our
physical welfare. In order to have a
strong mind, we must have a body,
that is also strong, for usually a man
does with his hands and the other
parts of his body just what his mind
determines. So, in training the mindj
?that is?giving to a pupil his in-!
tellectual and moral t raining that1
causes its development, a great stress
should be laid upon some form of
systematic physical culture.
Often times men who work out
doors do not utilize their entire body,
but simply their hands, and yet they
cannot understand just why they
should take some regular exercise.
We have our chests to develop, and
in fact, all the muscles of th,? body
should be used that they might be
able to work inn case t,f necessity. In
playing foot ball, hoys find muscles
they never befor,. knew they had,
simply because they wen never used
before.
Just as tin' ini'fi of our army must
take tlu-ir regular <voreises every
morninc before doint; the drilling of
tin* day, so should the pupils of
.very school In- put through some
form o: fry minis! ics every morning
hcfort' i-\i rcisiim tin- miml in the
class room until lato in tlx* afternoon.
As wi* develop our intellects.. our
morals, and infact, our diameters. we
morals, and in fact, our characters, we
tuitrht ttio better In* aide to ward off
diseases and carry out our daily line
of work.
