Page Four Mob Lynches Colored Youth HUSTON. Oct. 19-year-old colored youth, accused of killing a white man and assaulting a girl with him, was seized from a squad of state troopers today, dragged into the "Lovers' Lane" woods where the supposed assault took place, and lynched by a mob estimated at nearly 1,000 men. The mob waylaid the youth. Tommy Williams, as Sheriff Bryan Thigpen was about to take him into custody.

Sheriff Thigpen said he managed to track down the suspect, with the aid of state police who had joined the search with bloodhounds through the densely wooded country when a "volunteer posse" arrived. The mob charged a small smokehouse, where the youth was hiding, and dragged him out before state police could intervene. "We never had a chance," the sheriff said. The officer did not know whether Williams-had confessed or even been questioned. The mob leaders warned the Sheriff and state police to keep away, surrounded the youth and hustled him back toward the "Lovers' Lane" woods where the murdered man.

a paper mill foreman, was found last Thursday. The sheriff said he was hanged Immediately and the mob dispersed. The fugitive's 12-year-old brother admitted to police that articles of clothing found near the scene of the slaying were Williams'. Oil Tank Fire Smothered Out LINDEN, N. Oct.

An eight-acre oil tank "farm" of the Cities Service Company lay in smoldering ruins tonight as mop-up crews worked around-the-clock clearing wreckage left by a conflagration that raged for more than 20 hours. The blaze was smothered out before noon today and 1,500 exhausted firemen and volunteers went home, satisfied that their day and night battle -had kept the fire from enveloping one of the world's largest oil refinery centers. Elliot McEidowney, advertising manager of the Cities Service, estimated damage of $500,000 in 22 tanks and 10,000.000 gallons of oil destroyed by explosions and flame. Scores of firemen and spectators suffered minor burns and other injuries. The fire, which started at 1 p.

m. yesterday with a series of unexplained explosions, was declared under control at 5 a. m. today after threatening during the night to spread through the whole of the Cities Service property and to the cluster of other oil companies and factories in the area.

Governor Merriam has granted five reprieves to the two men who are now scheduled to. hang on the Folsom Prison gallows December 9. Previously the state supreme court recommended that the governor act favorably on the commutation application.

Today's action was the second time the pardon board has recommended against the commutation of the Brite brothers' sentence. The board considered the case at a meeting here September 29, but the decision was not made public Until late today. The recommendation was made by unanimous vote of the members of the board.

T.C. 10-U Electric Bond, Share Maps Plan Of Union NEW YORK, Oct.

Electric Bond and Share Company, one of the largest utility holding companies in the country, which field out against registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission -until forced to do so by a supreme court decision, will not be a hold-out on submitting its plans for integration by December 1, the dead line established by the SEC, C. E. Groesbeck, chairman of the company, told stockholders at their annual meeting today. Groesbeck termed the action of William O. Douglas, chairman of the SEC, in asking companies to submit their integration plans, even though they may be tentative, "a realistic approach to a difficult and highly controversial problem affecting the interests of millions of consumers and investors." "It would appear to us here," Groesbeck continued, "that this matter should now pass from the emotional stage, and it is to be hoped from the political arena as well, into a practical stage where the Securities and Exchange Commission, as administrators of the act, and the affected companies, as representing the investors, can proceed with an orderly and dispassionate examination of the technical, legal and business phases of the subject." Groesbeck said that with such an approach, he hoped that the problems of integration "will not prove insoluble, and therefore we propose by December 1 to comply with the request of the commission.

The subject is an intricate one and the plans as first filed will of necessity be tentative as suggested." In the discussions in utility and financial circles over what course would be followed by some of the widely-scattered holding company systems, in their plan for integration, the Bond and Share system lias probably attracted more attention and held more interest than any of the others, Wall Street experts point out. Through substantial interests in six large hol.ding companies, the Bond and Sh'are system extends into 33 states and into 13 foreign countries. State Firm Is Unit The companies in the Bond and Share system are American and Foreign Power, American Power and Light, National Power and Light, Electric Power and Light, United Gas and American Gas anc Electric. General supervisory service is given under contract to al but American Gas and Electric through a subsidiary, Ebasco Services, With American Gas and Electric, Bond and Share has only an arrangement for financial service. (The Central Arizona Light and Power Company is a unit of the Electric Bond and Share Company.)

But when officials of the company have been approached for a reaction to this idea, they have replied: "We have always been jn the utility operating business and we see no reason why we should leave the field." Groesbeck, in response to a question by a stockholder, gave an inkling of the integration line the company may be following. With en expenditure of less than one per cent of the combined assets of the affiliated approximately said Electric Bond and Share could have three integrated systems, one in the. Northwest, a second in the South and Southwest, a third in the East Propertiei Grouped While he would not amplify this suggestion, it was believed in well- informed utility circles that the plan, in general, would be along this corporate lines of the affiliated companies would be redrawn and "all properties' in each of the three 'areas would be grouped under an intermediate holding company to provide geographic as well- as corporate integration. If three, systems are providing the SEC, which has the power to do so if conditions warrant it, authorizes continuance of more than one would mean the elimination of some of the corporate affiliates, compensated for by an interchange of the securities of the systems retained. Groesbeck went no further today in outlining what course would be followed except to say "I should not be recommending this step TOWNSEND CLUB NO.

Groesbeck's talk to stockholders vas in keeping with the attitude of conciliation that has come about recent months between the private utility interests and Wash- ngton, experts feel.

Town Periled By Forest Fire (By Associated Press) Firefighters fought blazes on both sides of the Minnesota-Ontario 'boundary Thursday as dangerous weather brought about new outbreak that threatened three communities in the region where 20 perished in forest fires Monday Reports from Minnesota forestry officials and Canadian Provincia' Police in late afternoon, however were that the fire lines of more than 1,000 men were holding off the flames at International Falls and at La Vallee and Bev- lih, Ont. A brisk southwest wind, teamcr with low humidity at International Falls, a city of 2,500 population, was driving a brush blaze Sunnyside Addition, a group of 30 houses on the outskirts of the community. Two hundred men, including Civilian Conservation Corps youths, Works Progress Administration workers and volunteers, dug trenches and poured water on the flames. At last reports the fire was within two blocks of the city limits and Sunnyside residents were warned evacuation may be necessary. Dusk, however, brought improved conditions in the border fire zone, and augmented crews hurried to take advantage of I he break.

Forrest Rising, International Falls aviator, doing observation work for the Minnesota State Forestry Service, reported the humidity was rising and the temperature dropping, although the wind continued at a 20-to-25- mile velocity. All wire were broken off with La Vallee, and Devlin, having a combined population of 700. The villages are 17 and 14 miles, respectively, from Fort Frances, which 'a directly across the international border from International Falls. David Hamilton, provincial police constable at Fort Frances, said the two communities were in no "immediate danger." A line of firefighters numbering from 500 to 1.000, he said, was holding off the flames at the outskirts of both communities. Residents, however, stood readv to move out on short notice.

William Darby, provincial fire patrolman at Fort Frances, said the highway to Fort Frances was being kept open and arrangements had been made to sound an evacuation order by siren if necessary. Virtually all of the border region was enveloped in a dense smoke pall. Gov. Elmer A. Benson gave the state adjutant general broad authority to move lull national guard facilit'ies into the Minnesota fire area and to take every precaution for evacuation of settlers hospitalization where necessary.

"The greatest tax reduction can be obtained for our citizens only by. reduction of expenses, part of which is now waste," Mr.

I favor a division of gasoline taxes to cities for the use on state and county lighways within their limits.

"I will introduce a bill to stop he sale of homes for nonpayment taxes, and provide instead for enting of such homes, the rent to apply on the taxes' due until they are paid and give the owner prior ight to rent the home or prop- for himself by paying such ent to the tax collector. "I will support a change in the ompensation law giving workmen ompensation for occupational dis- ases caused by the occupation. I vill get better service from our government for our people. "I will seek to broaden the duties jf the state auditor and cause uch special audits as are made to published in county newspapers. "I favor public hearings on all mportant bills before they are ended into laws not afterwards as as been the practice in the past." Mr.

Defense Move WASHINGTON, Oct. Bernard M.

Baruch, World War marshal of American industry, urged the nation today to take warning from Europe's recent crisis and look to its military defenses. The New York financier, adviser to several presidents, asserted after a talk with President Roosevelt that in some respects the defenses were in a "desperate" condition. "England was forced into a humiliating peace at Munich because she was unprepared," he said. "We certainly don't want to sink into' the same position." Predicting a future contest with Germany, Italy and Japan for trade power in South America, Baruch contended that "this coun- ry ought to be in a position to defend itself and make its voice heard, no matter what the cost." As immediate needs, he listed fufl for an army and na- Jonal guard force of 400.000. ths army's present objective, war plane on a mass basis, and of industry to military urposes.
