ATTEMPT TO GET PRISON EES
RESULTS IX FAILURE.
Stern Warning Given.
Chief Warden Tells Men and Women
They Would "Be Shot Down
Jbiivr nai^?
Barnstable, .Mass., Aug. 19.?A mob
of nearly 200 men and women carrying
ropes early today stormed the
local jail, threatening to lynch three
Cape Verde island negroe prisoners
charged with highway robbery and
criminal assult on a young white woman
at Buzzard's Bay.
At 2:30 this morning 25 automobiles,
whose occupants included women
as well as men, drove up to the
local jail. Others came on foot and
together they marched on the jail
a. t Al
entrance, iney aemanaeu me mice
negroes, John Dies, Benjamin Gov
mez and Joseph Andrews, from Sheriff
Irving L. Rosenthal.
There were shouts of "Let's get
them," as the mob approached the
brick structure, but when the jail
defenders, five men in all, fired in the
air, the crowd came to a halt. Chief
Warden James Boland warned the
mob back, shouting that at the first
attempt to attack the jail they
"would be shot down like rats."
The warning had its effect, but the
crowd remained outside the jail nearly
an hour and a half, still threaten
ing an attack, while Sheriff Rosenthal,
Chief Warden Boland and the
three others stood guard with shotguns.
There are ten prisoners in the
Barnstable jail. Usually two men
are considered sufficient to guard it.
Last night because of the Wareham
v-; incident
the sheriff personally took
command and augmented the force
to five. Today more guards will be
added, and Sheriff Rosenthal intimated
also that he might ask for
state troops to help him. The second
regiment of field artillery of the Massachusetts
guard is stationed five
miles away on its summer encamp >
ment.
Dies and Gomez were held in $15,000
bail each yesterday and Andrews
was to be arraigned today. All three
have been identified by the young
woman and William Eldredge as the
-men
who held them up and criminally
attacked the girl at Buzzard's Bay
earlv in the week.
Today's was the second early
morning threat of violence against
one of the negroes, a crowd having
attempted yesterday to get John
Dies from the Wareham lockup. He
was brought to the jail here after
the Wareham police had dispersed
^ the crowd by firing over their heads.
Andrews was arraigned this morning
and held in $15,000 bail. Hearing
for all three men has been set
for August 29. There was no demonstration
at the court house.

Find Safe in Lake.
Lake City, Aug. 19.?While in
bathing today in Lynch's river seven
miles distant from the home of S. W.
Young, a party of young boys discovered
the iron safe that was stolen I

* was hidden under water and only
found by one one of the boys striking
against it. The safe being small was
easily raised to the surface and appeared
to have been opened with a
chisel and its valuable contents removed.
Xo further clue has been discovered
as to the perpetrators of the
crime. The safe was said to have
contained about $30,000 in liberty
bonds and the about the same amount
in other securities when it was stolen.

Bridget's Scheme.
Bridget was an Irish woman?
that was by birth. She was also gen-j
erai maia oi an worK 10 .Mrs. t?awson?that
was by necessity.
Bridget had a reputation for not
liking work. Give a dog a bad name
and it'll never get a reputation for being
a saint.
It was one of Bridget's tasks to
clean the windows one morning. After
a certain number of hours had
passed her mistress saw Bridget emptying
a pail of dirty water.
I "Have you cleaned the windows,
Bridget?" asked Mrs. Dawson.
"Yes, ma'am."
"Come upstairs with me and I will
inspect them." said the lady.
Bridget had no alternative but to
follow her mistress, but she had a
foreboding of misfortune.
"Bridget," demanded Mrs. Dawson,
"surely, you don't consider these
windows clean?"
"Shure. I washed them nicely on
the inside ma'am." asserted Bridget,
"so ye can look out. but I intentionally
left them a little dirty on the out
side so them ignorant J one? cniiuren
next door Couldn't looh in."'
Mil. BYllXFS HAS THE FLOOll.
Editorial From News and Fourier of
August 20th.
For several months the New York
World has been printing an editorial
naa:e feature called "A Looker-on in
Washington." The News and Courier
has quoted from these articles more
than once. The writer, plainly a man
of very considerable cultivation and
a profound student of government,
has a distinctive style and his comments
on the course of events at the
National Capital are both searching
and readable. The feature, as this
newspaper has indicated before now,
is a particularly striking one and has
challenged wide attention, especially
among newspaper men.
In The World of day before yesterday
"A Looker-on in Washington" deI
votes his article to a speech in Con
gress by Representative James F.
Byrnes, of this state, on the tax bill
and pays Mr. Byrnes a warm tribute
ci admiration for the effectiveness
with which he exposed the hypocrisy
of Republican pretensions in the matter
of alleged economies. "Time is
not always wasted in listening to a
debate in congress," he says. "The
other day 1 strolled mtc that part of
the gallery which the house generously
permits the plain citizen without a
pull to use as lus cwn for the time
being, and in the society of a score or
more of the washed and the unwashed
ovwi irnmpn hp,inl ?<:me astound
ing statements."
He then goes on to describe the
company in which he found himself in
the visitors' gallery, among others
the "very young bride'' who "complained
petulantly (she was a bride
and could be petulant with safety)
that she couldn't hear a word of what
they were saying," the equally young
bridegroom being wise nevertheless
for his years, since "he said nothing
but simply held her hand." The debate,
he says, "was all about money,
millions and millions; and most people
take little interest in millions,
which is probably one reason that
congress spends a good many more
millions than it ought to." Then he
continues:
"Mr. Byrnes, of South Carolina,
was giving the house some amazing
figures. I don't know how correct
they were, but I presume they were
accurate, as no Republican disputed
him. Mr. Byrnes said that the country
was led to believe that with the
establishment of the Budget Bureau
there would be no more deficiency
estimates, yet in the first twenty
days of the fiscal year there had come
a deficiency estimate from the Direcor
of the Budget for $125,000,000 for
the Shipping Board, and deficiency estimates
from other departments had
also been submitted. The estimate
of the Shipping Board had been reduced
by the committee of appropriations
to $4S,500,000; if congress accepted
the judgment of the director
of the Budget it would have to make
an additional appropriation of $76,500,000.
If it follows the committee
on appropriations, what, he asked,
is the value of the Budget Bureau?
"witn tnis as a siari .wr. oyrues
proceeded to show how little importance
was to be attached to the recent
claims of great saving and the economies
instituted in the executive departments,
or that it would be possible
actually to reduce the appropriations
by $350,000,000. Going
back again to the Shipping Board
and its deficiency estimate Mr. Byrnes
said that the president had been told
that part of that $350,000,000 saving
would come from a saving of $25,000,000
in the appropriation for the
Shipping Board, but said Mr. Byrnes
?and it seemed logical to say the
I least?if $25,000,000 can be saved
I from the Shipping Board's appropri|
ation, why the necessity now of a de
ficiencv estimate of S4S.000.000? it
has before been mentioned that there
is a curious lack of team play betwen
congress and the executive departments.
The Shipping Board is a
case in point. * *
"Mr. Byrnes, who is evidently of an
inquiring turn of mind, found other
ingenious ways to save money?on
paper. The Agricultural Department
reported an estimated saving of
$1,687,000 for the fiscal year, but according
to Mr. Byrnes, practically the
whniP of this was to come out of the
appropriation for the eradication of
the foot and mouth disease, which
has been available since 1916. Of
course when there is no epidemic the
money is not used; if the scourage
should break out, then every dollar
would be spent. On the same principle
the navy department could save
a good many millions by not spending
its appropriation for powder. So
long as you have a navy, men have to
learn to hit a target, and the only
way to teach them is to buy powder
to fire the big guns.
"The agricultural department is a
beautiful money-saver?011 paper. Mr.
Dawes was aide to save ?11 2.000.000.
but Mr. Fordnev, the chairman of the j
ways and means committee, is the j
irreat economist and is goin2 to save)

Third of a Mile Long and Towers 75 '

Icebergs of unusual size end num-j

enough ice to supply the homes of a
large part of the country for the rest
of the summer, have been encountered
by the United States coast guard
cutters Seneca and Yamacraw which
are policing the ocean steamship
lanes, relates a Boston, Mass., dispatch.
Since early February the United
States government, acting under an
international agreement and at international
expense, has maintained the
annual iceberg patrol. Tne coast
guardsmen have helped many vessels
to steer a safe course through the
danger zone. Some have been extricated
from serious positions, others
have been warned when they were
headed for the ice.
The open winter caused a large
number of bergs to break away early
and drift south. They have become
an abnormally serious menace to
navigation, according to naval officers.
Many are of huge dimensions.
The giant of all the icebergs is described
by Lieut. Commander E. H.
Smith, navigator of the Seneca, as
approximately one third of a mile
long and towering 75 feet above the
water. This berg remained in sight
for nearly a month, during which
time it traveled 300 miles. The vagaries
of the ice movements are
shown by the fact that another berg
circled about the vessel, covering 35
nines iu mi cc uu; o.
At times the patrol boats have gone
alongside the floating refrigerators to
obtain cracked ice for the wardroom
or huge chunks which could be melted
to replenish the fresh water supply.
Although plans for ridding the
seas of these dangers to navigation
have often been proposed the coast
guard officers insist the icebergs "still
rule the northern sea." They are
awaiting with interest reports of experiments
made by the destroyer
Breckenridge which shot several
bergs with torpedoes. -Some of the
coast guardsmen are frankly skeptical
of this plan and insist that a torpedo
would make no more impression
on an iceberg than a popgun would
on a mountain 01 couuu.
EAT FRIED RATTLERS.

Forestry Students.
Fried rattlesnakes are a part of the
menu served to Pennsylvania State
college forestry students at their big '
camp near Bear Hollow, Clinton

to the camp, says a Bellfontaine, Pa., dispatch.

back of an envelope and a wave of
his hand he made them look like 30
cents in marks or lirr or Austrian
crowns. Included ir his saving of
$350,000,000 is $25,000,000 to come
out of the agricultural department
appropriation. 'Bless your heart,' exclaimed
Mr. Byrnes?and the little
bride showed that her hearing was
still good?the entire appropriation
is only $33,000,000, and if he saved
that much he would destroy the entire
organization of that department.'
How is the impossible to be done?

propriations for roads, but no appropriation
for roads was made for this
fiscal year, and the only money available
for roads is the money appropriated
last year. Under the law it
was allotted to the states and of
course it cannot be taken back; some
of the states have already spent their
allotments.''
"A Looker-on in Washington" has
explained in this entertaining and informing
article from which we have
quoted why the congressman from
Aiken, with his wit and his boldness |
and his solid grasp of fact, has be-j
some one of the most effective speak-j
ers in congress and why Republicans!
like Consressman Fordney lose their j
temper so often when Mr. Bvrnes is'
!
on his feet. It is a valuable thin?!
for the Democratic party and for the
country that Mr. Bvrnes is on the,

house appropriation committee at the;
present time and is thus in position
to bring out the truth in such a way
that even "very young brides" in the 1
