RICHMOND. Va Dm. I. Goyer
Dor role"t Bleaae Pi Bouth Caro-
lina served noil. f to the fifth an-
nual conference of governors which
opanod hare today that lyncher of
negro assailants t white women
would K" unpunished In his state.
i have until "ii over Ui state of
Bouth Carolina umi i lay It again
now" ha declared "thai l will never
order out the militia to ihoot down
their neigh bo ri and protect H black
brute who commits the nameless
orlmo acalnat a white woman.
Therefore in South Carolina let It
tie understood that when u negro as-
saults white woman all that Is
needed is (hey get the right man.
and they who net him will neither
need nor receive a trial."
The address was the most remark-
aide of a day devoted to the consid-
eration of crime and Its punishment.
(rovernor Simeon K. Ilaldwtn of
Connecticut advocated the restoration
Of the Whipping poet for certain
classes Of criminals and a policy of
sterilization for others.
Advocate Sterilization
As for the cruelty of sterilization"
said the governor "the same degree
of suffering Is Inflicted for a pur-
pose in one respect not dissimilar on
half of our larger domestic animals.
W'e do not deem It cruelty to them.
So fur as vaeeotomy la concerned It
has recently been pronounced not a
cruel form of punishment by the su-
preme court of Washington and in
several stat.s there are laws author-
izing the operation upon degenerate!
in alms houses asylums or prisons."
Coventor Baldwin's address Imme-
diately followed an address of Gov-
ernor John P. Bhafroth of Colorado
In which ;ov. Bhafroth advocated
lenient but certain punishment to
criminals and cited his own state as
an example whero this system hag
worked well. Ho declared that se-
vere punishment had proved no de-
terrent to crime. Certainty of pun-
ishment In his opinion with an op-
portunity to shorten the sentence
through labor and good behavior not
only punished the criminal but Berv-
cil alike as a deterrent against futur.'
s Crimea and an Incentive to reform.
He advocated the system In vogue
In Colorado under which gangs of
fifty men without guards save at
nights worked on the public roads
and expressed the hope that the time
Waa near when tho state could do
more than this and pay the convict
a nominal wage for the wink he per-
formed. Murderers Escape Punishment
Governor George W. Donaghey of
Arkansas declared for a severe pen-
ally for lynchers no punishment save
death he said would deter murder-
ers from their crime.
"Why It's getting to the pass." he
declared "where a man ID certain of
punishment If he should steal a horse
but where nine times out of ten ho
Is aide to go scot free If he commits
m urder."
Governor Adolph 0 Bberhart of
Minnesota thought the Jury system
Is at 'he root of the evil of frequent
miscarriages of Justice. Nowadays
he declared "a man could plead
guilty to 57 varieties of Insanity" and
escape the consequences of his crime.
Under the present Jury system he
ndded it was all but Imposslhle to
select Intelligent men for Jury serv-
ice "I want to take off my hat to Vir-
ginia and to New York" said Gov.
Albert V. Gilchrist of Florida "for
I believe they have done Justice In
their recent murder cases. I don't
believe Henry Clary Heuttle could
have heen convicted In my state."
Governor lllense In his uddrcss af-
ter promising Immunity to lynchers
Warmly defended his use of the par-
doning power declaring that In the
tenty-two months he had paroned
or paroled approximate y ton per-
sons and that he hoped the number
at the enJ of the second term would

MOULDERS OF IRON

not ns.
Hecause the officials of the em-
pty refused to comply with their de-
mands for nn Increased wage scale
the moulders employed by the Okla-
homa Iron Works of this city went on
u strike Monday morning. Tho com.
pany's officials last night were pre-
paring to take some precaution
against violence and started arrange-
ments for special police protection. It
Is believed that workmen In other
departments of the company's two
Plants will not walk out In sympathy
with the striking moulders.
The twelve moulders employed by
the company hnvo been working ten
hours a day for which Manager Jim
Sloan of the Oklahoma Iron Works
stated last night the men received
a? 1-2 cents nn hour. During the
winter months the men desire to work
but nine hours u day and receive teg
hours' pay for the dny's work. This
the company would not agree to.
The Oklahoma Iron Works Is said
to bo the largest Industrial plant of
lis kind In the state emplojlna about
125 men In ttie two plant.. The
striking moulders are employed at
the new plant Just outside tho city
limits northeast of the city.
Men have been secured to take the
place f the striking moulders to-
morrow and the company expects to
keen th.lr entire plant in operation

LONDON Dec 3. The protocol ar-
ranging an amtetlce was signed lato
this evening by the Turkish and Bul-
garian delegates the latter represent-
ing Hiso eeverla and Montenegro
Trior to this there bad been i long
sitting of the Turkish council of min-

mitted by the allies.

the as revised today.
The refusal of Greece to sign ihe
armistice is susceptible of ' different
Interpretations. In the first ptai a
as a tacit armls'lce has been In ex-
istence for more than a week already.
It Is not Impossible thai the negotia-
tions may have served to bring about
nn agreemet on the general prln 1-
ples of peace terms such as Would
promise the ipeedy arrangement of a
peace treaty when the conference
meets as Is now expected In London
In this case the fact that Greece is
standing out from the armistice pro-
tocol would not be of great Import-
ance. In the second place the Greek ah
entation may mean a serious split
among the allies arising from Jeal-
ousies concerning the possession of
Bklonlkl and the Insistence f tli i
Greeks on the capitulation of Adrta-
nople Scutari and Janlna.
other points which mny Influence
the situation are to be found In 'he
fact that Turkey recently sought to
conclude n separate treaty of pence
with Greece that Bulgaria apparently
is not unwilling to enter Into nn al-
liance with Turkey and that the allies
ire desirous that Turkey shall enter
the Halkan customs league.
There Is a rumor In Sofia that sug-
gestion has heen made to substitute
Roumanla for Greece In the Halkan
league. It seems clear from tho re-
port that Hulgaria will Ignore the
Greek offer to land nn army In Gallt-
polls peninsula and to send her fleet
to attack the Dardanelles; that tho
relations between Greece and Hulgaria
and greatly strained and these sign-
et dissension among the allies leave
tho situation full of dangerous pos-
sibilities. It Is reported that Trance Is try-
ing to persunde Greece to adopt a less
unyielding attitude. It Is understood
that financial pressure and the a-
haustlon of their forces had much to
do with the willingness of Hulgaria
and Beveria to conclude peace and In
ihis respect Greece" Which gained her
victories with less expense In better
able to continue hostilities.
Another conference of tho pleni-
potentiaries was held in the evening
after the receipt of the fresh Infsruc-
tions from the forte. At the conclus-
ion of this conference the armistice
protocol was .signed.
The fact that Greece Is not among
the signatories Is Interpreted as mean-
ing hostilities will be continued be-
tween that state and Turkey and there
Is considerable speculation as to what
will become of the alliance agreement
between the Halkan states.
It has not been determined when
nnd where the peace negotiations will
begin.

patch to the Dally Telegraph says
that official quarters there hes re

"What did you see In the way of
