Look for the Sign Point to the Faucet DALLAS, Tex, March 3-Led by an old negro, a- mob today burst into the courtroom in which Allen Brooks, another aged negro, charged with assaulting a 2-year-old white child, was to receive a lawful sentence of guilty, Brooks and tossed him through a second-story window, breaking his reck. His body was dragged through the streets by infuriated men, who hanged it to the Elks Arch, high above the heads of the crowd. Ajfter Brooks was hanged, Dallas for nearly three hours was in the hands of the The jail was stormed and death was threatened to three other negroes held on charges of murder.

They had been taken away, however, and after searching for them in vain the mob dispersed After his arrest last week for attacking the child Brooks was taken out of Dallas for safe keeping. He was returned today and taken to the court house to await the calling of his case. When attorneys for the defence began arguments in behalf of a postponement tumors started through the crowd that a change of venue had been granted.

Tht Hit CcmbrftGCc rsooo tdlsoosoo Piatt sent orders also to Speaker Nixon in this communication. On April 16, 1901, Allds wrote to Piatt: "I have no doubt of my ability to hold it (the bridge bill) there (In the rules committee), but think it may be politic for you to write to Fred (Nixon) also. Not as a matter of necessity, for I showed him your wire and the letter, but just by way of precaution." How Piatt took this "precaution" was shown by the following letter which he sent to Speaker Fred Nix the following day "I have written to Allds asking him to endeavor to hold in the committee on rules bills (giving the numbers of measures).

I have explained to him the reasons for making this request. 1 very much want your cooperation in boiling these bills in committee. Will vou cooperate? Allds can explain the details." This letter introduced in evidence today was the first direct effort thus far to defend the memory of ttie dead speaker Through it the defense will try to show that Conger's charge against Nixon was as false as that against Allds. To draw some of the fire of the ordeal which they expect their client will he obliged to undergo in cross-examination, Allds' attorney had him describe hia various employments by the state while a member of the legislature. His most important commission was that of attorney and searcher of titles for the land purchasing board.

ALBANY, March 3 This was distinctly Senator Allds' day at the bribery investigation.

The defendant occupied the witness stand from the opening of the session and his direct examination was unfinished when adjournment was taken until tomorrow. Senator Conger and his attorneys sat back, sometimes with derisive smiles, sometimes ostentatiously skeptlca.1, hut. always intent, and offered no interruption w-hile the defendant told a story which contradicted at every point Conger's assertion that Allds solicited and received $1000 for blocking legislation hostile to the bridge companies. "Absolutely false," declared the accused senator when Conger's testimony was repeated to him. He not only do bled having taken the bribe, but insisted that there was no conversation about such a transaction.

Moreover, he asserted, he never met his accuser's brother. Frank, the agent of the American bridge company, and the lirst time he ever saw Hiram G.

Allds tried to show that there was no necessity of the bridge interests giving him money in 1901 because the results it is alleged they sought by this means had already been accomplished through orders which came to Allds from Ex-U Senator Thomas C. Piatt and Allds showed the bridge companies had reasons to know this. Such proof was in the form of correspondence between Allds and Piatt, who In 1901 was the republican leader in this state, and between Piatt and W. A. Smyth of Owego.

Smyth appealed to Piatt to suppress the bridge bill on which Conger says Allds based his demand for corruption money and Piatt asked Allds to see that the bill was killed. Allds wrote to Piatt declaring that the bill was safely stuck in the committee on rules, of which he was a member, and would never come out. Smyth's interest was due to the Owego bridge company, which threatened to move its plant from Owego if this bill passed and injured its business; and through this company, Allds' attorneys will hold, the bridge combination should have known that the object they sought had been accomplished without the use of money.

The record of Allds' deposits In a bank In Norwich, his home, and one in Albany were put in evidence. His bank balances since 1901 were invariably small, seldom over $200. The record of withdrawals, however, showed that if Allds used all the money for himself he was a pretty liberal spender, for at the Norwich bank alone tl.ey averaged for the nine years about $60(0 a year.

March 3 Eighty-six names are now on the. list of dead and missing passengers, railroad and postal employes, who were carried down by the avalanche which destroyed two Great Northern trains Tuesday morning. Statements of the number of laborers lighting the snow who were sleeping on the ill-fated trains vary from 20 to 0. An estimate of 100 dead is conservative, i.

is said tonight. All the dead were residents of the northwest. Of the injured, only Rev-Bishop Winget of Chicago was from the east. No one who has seen the wreckage has the slightest hope of finding any of the missing alive. The explorations have uncovered none living, and some of the bodies are shockingly mangled.

An avalanche of dry snow might have covered its victims alive, but the gorge at Wellington is packed tight with wet snow, ice, huge trees and glaciai bowlders. All day a stream of men, packs strapped to their backs, wound about the mountain path, from Skykomish to Scenic and Wellington, carrying food and supplies for the injured. A laborer was caught taking trinkets from a woman's body and he was compelled to start down the trail at once. One hundred and llfty men dug for bodies in the avalanche debris all day.
