Special Dispatch to The Tribune
AUSTIN, Tex., July ":8. -All Tcxss ia
?roused over the activities c night
rider?, who are tarring and feath sring
in almost nightly raids. Mombera of
the Texas Legislature, who bogan a
special session to-day, are discussing
weans of curbing them.
Mass meeting's in protest against
these attacks by masked and armed
troopers, called in Dallas, Waco, Fort
Worth. Houston and Beaumont, are
expected to demand action by the Leg?
islature in putting down the activities,
as local peace officers so far have been .
helpless.
Referring to lawlessness in Texas
in his message to the Legislature, :
Governor Pat Neff declared:
"The administration and the non
administration of the criminal laws I
of Texas are. a disgrace to our civiliza- ?
tion. This carnival of crime should !
no longer be countenanced."
The Governor said Federal officers '
?were doing more work in Texas than !
local officers, and advocated removing
officers who fail to enforce the laws, ?
declaring that in that way a more strict ?
enforcement of laws would be obtained ?
and the necessity of secret organiza- j
tions removed.
Minister Attacked
SHREVEPORT, La., July 18.?Four
more attacks on individuals by masked
bands were reported to-day from wide?
ly separated sections of the South.
They occurred Saturday and Sunday.
The methods in all cases were so simi?
lar as to indicate the existence of a
?ffidpspread secret society intended to
mete out swift community justice, sim?
ilar to the Ku-Klux Klan of reconstruc?
tion days.
The Rev. Philip S. Irwin, British sub?
ject, rector of a church in the negro
quarter of Miami, Fla., was whipped
and given a coat of tar and feathers
last night. s
The clergyman was found on the
street about midnight by a policeman-,
who took him first to the police sta?
tion, where he was questioned regard?
ing his alleged preaching of race equal?
ity, and then to his home in the white
section of the city.
According to a statement to-day by
Irwin, his kidnappers did not charge
him with preaching racial equality, but
took exception to his connection with
the Overseas Club, association of Brit?
ish war veterans. The men who kid?
napped the minister tried to make him
promise to leave Miami within forty
eight hours under threat of being
lynched, Irwin said, but this he re?
fused to do.
Aged Farmer Whipped
Richard Johnson, retired farmer, six?
ty-eight years old, was seized, stripped
and whipped by three masked men
Saturday night while returning from
work on his son's farm near Warrens
burg, Mo., with two farm workers.
After severe punishment the men
Warned Johnson to leave the county.
B. F. Scott, of Deweyville, Tex., was
tarred and feathered near Beaumont,
Texas, while motoring with two women,
and a man named McKnight was re
?orted to have been whipped near
impson, Texas.
In most of the whitecapping cases
reported the assailants wore white uni?
forms, masks and headgear, which Scott
described as "conical-shaped head?
pieces."
An attempt will be made to prosecute
the masked men who stripped Mrs.
Bculah Johnson at Teneha, Texas, Sat
urd&y night, bobbed her hair and tarred
:md feathered her, it was announced
t< .lay by County Attorney Lewis John

I Rum Smuggling Inspires
Tales of Pirate Craft
\Numerous Vessels Off Coast of

in illicit Traffic in Liquor
ATLANTIC CITY, July 18.?Revenue
agents and prohibition enforcement of?
ficers Baid to-day that they believed
that the recent rumors of pirates along
the coast had their inception in the
fact that rum-running is being con?
ducted on an extensive scale along the
Atlantic coast.
Numorous vessels, they said, were en?
gaged in the illicit trade and some oi
them were under instructions to trans?
fer their cargo outside the three-mile
limit to an inbound ship on l?gitim?t!
business. The often-repeated story o
the mysterious vessel which approachet
liners and freighters, looked them ove
and then turned on its heel and mad?
off, probably deals with the maneuver
of a rum-runner, revenue agents be
lleve, ? which was waiting for a shi
flyine: the. signal agreed upon.
Other rum-runners, it is said, tak
their cargo off in small boats at som
unfrequented spot, and bury it, ? 1

Sacramental Wines
From The Tribune's Wanhinaton Bureau
WASHINGTON, July 18..Review by
the Attorney General of the recent
opinion prohibiting the issuance of per?
mits to wholesale liquor dealers v/as
asked to-day of Prohibition Commis?
sioner Haynes by representatives of the
Catholic and Episcopal clergy and a
delegation of fifty Jewish rabbis.
The churchmen, in an extended dis?
cussion with Commissioner Haynes, set
forth in dotail their complaints that
under the present enforcement of the
dry laws they are unable to obtain
either the quantity or quality of wines
needed for sacramental purposes. The
primary purpose of the conference was
to discuss the proposed regulations gov?
erning the use and distribution ^f
wines in the churches.
After the conference it was said tha?
the prohibition commissioner probabij
would recommend to the Secretary oi
the Treasury that the Attorney Genera
be asked to review the opinion.
Edmund F. Maher appeared as attor
ney for the Catholic and Episcopa'
clergy. The rabbis were represented by
Milton Strnsburger, who asked that a
copy of the proposed regulations be fur?
nished him in order that he might take
up with the rabbis various sections re?
quiring further discussion. Briefs re?
lating to the proposed r? guiations will

Essex set the official 50-hour record, traveling 3037 miles at better than a mile a minute. For cars of its
motor size it holds all official stock records for speed and endurance from 1 to 50 hours.
It set the world's 24-hour road mark of 1061 miles, and the official 24-hour dirt track record of 1261 miles.
Essex also set the New York-Chicago record?24 hrs., 43 min., and the San Bernardino hill climb record.
ecause it is
The Essex did not bring costly car performance and reliability to the
light, moderate-priced field without duplicating or excelling the design
and workmanship of the finest, high-priced cars.
For instance S. F. Edge, England's most noted automobil? authority
says: "This motor might have had a Coatelen* or aPomeroy* as
its sponsor (* Respectively designers of two English cars of higher
price than any American car.)
And so throughout, Essex gets its long endurance, and continued
smoothness and quietness of operation, from the way it is built. It
has eliminated squeaking bodies with a frame so designed that it does
not weave. This frame, with one exception is sturdier for the duty it
is to perform than any other car.
Devices which provide for longer wear, or for taking up wear at no.
expense, are Essex features that only a few of the highest priced cars
duplicate. This is the reason that Essex cars that have seen 2 years
service and upwards of 20,000 miles are running as well and as quietly
and economically now as when new. Bearings are snug. Joints are
tight and free from squeaks. Doors are solid and flush-fitting, without
rattles. You never have seen an Essex with weaving wheels, and
bar accident sufficient to smash a car, you never will.
way
These are not spectacular advantages. You may not notice them fa
comparing Essex to another new car. But you will know what they
mean if you compare an old Essex to another old car.
Time serves to show the real difference between the way cars are
built. That is why Essex owners who have had their cars through
long, hard service, speak with such conviction of its goodness.
It is easy for you to find and examine the real proofs regarding any
car you may think of buying:
What have cars of the same make shown over a period of several
years?
What is the future expectancy of good service from such cars after
twenty or thirty thousand miles.
You have the all important advantage of being able to ask owners.
Make use of it. It is an inexpensive insurance against the risk of
making a selection you may regret
We will be glad of an early opportunity to explain the many points
of advantage that only costly cars share with Essex.
