MOB BEFORE JAIL .BROUGHT 10 HALT a 9 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. tmt m 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 K& ' Vnnn rr' o V> r\rv? Qnn Ho r r?l<rV)t T f 11 Vili 1 U U11o UUia^ * v * 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. c 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.

GIAXT It EI5KIIG F0UX1>. Third of a Mile Long and Towers 75 ' Feet Above Water. Icebergs of unusual size end num-j _ ~ ?-v acriniofarl t/\ r> r? 17 t n i I ijei'f Ollfcf LliCili CCUUIUltu i.\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. Reptiles Article of Regular Diet for | Forestry Students.

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? Rumor, says Mr. Byrnes, has it that Mr. Fordney is going to get this ^ O r AAA AAA AH f A P f A far? Aro 1 q n UUl UI luw iv^uvi u i.
