J This was the statement today c Postoffice Inspector Dorw in mak ing public, the details of;, the arres of seven men?six of them'present o past postoffice employees. He assert ed that their capture woulo clear u; the registered mail theft of\July 1 when $1,447,000 in Liberty bond bound for Washington were * stole] from the malls; would aid in sOlvinj a heretofore undiscovered theft o $40,000 in securities and might go fa toward clearing up of the $2,000,00 mail truck holdup in lower Broadwa last October. . Plans had been laid?and were t have been carried out in broad day light?for the holdup and robbery o the entire registered mail section o the city hall station, through whicl millions in securities flow daily fron the Wall street financial zone, In spec tor Do ran said. Orders had beei issued to shoot any employee who re slated. The plotters had visited the cit; hall station several times, made i careful survey of the "layout" an planned their raid in great detail Indeed, Inspector Doran said, the: had gone to the station several week ago, ready to "pull" the holdup, bu had been deterred by the accidents presence of several inspectors, whicl had led them to fear their plot ha< been discovered. It was the imtni nance of the new date set for thi new holdup that sent police and post office inspectors on a round up cam paign last night. The name of the inspector who din covered the plot, with hie bad man' beard and his plausible manner, wa withheld. He was one of 16 inspec ton, it was Mid, who have been work . ing their way for isnw HP* as boastful fellow matt Bandits. The bearded man, it was said, sue ceeded in getting himself "counts in" on the proposed city hall statioi holdup, and talked it over in detai with the others in his supposed "den' which he had wired with telephoni devices. The seven captives takei last night were confronted wit] transcripts of the telephonic recor early today in the presence of th bearded inspector, and some of then are alleged to have confessed. Much data on their earlier opera tions already had been gathered am recorded by the telephonic device? at boasting fetes set in motion by th thrilling stories of mail bandirty reel ed off by the "bearded gent" as hi robber friends called him. So completely were the mail rob bers taken in by their new foun "pal" that Inspector Doran said toda he could recount almost every ste taken in the July 18 Liberty bon theft. The chief actor in this theft, h said, was Morris Steinberg, a 19 yea old clerk in the registry departmeni Steinberg, according to the inspectoi had some means, as yet undiscoveret of ascertaining when valuable pacV ages were to come to the postoffic from the federal reserve bank.

Jeffords denied all knowledge of at a plot against Arnette's life, denied thi . he knew the insurance policies wei in force, denied that he had stru< y, Arnette, and placed the burden of tl a blame for the killing upon Harrlsoi j he denied that he had told office: when first arrested that they wou y have to prove the crime on him, denU s that he had admitted to Sheriff Hen t and Chief of Detectives Shorter thi I he "helped kill M .

Once he tried to cut his throat, but was prevented by the 1 arrival of neighbors. Another time I he took poison, but immediate medi- a cat aid Saved his life. I The trouble seems to have been a caused by his health which had been 1 poor for some time and for several months he had been confined to his 1 bed, being deprived of the use of his c legs. Early this morning he managed ^ c to find a gun. although his family a thought it securely hidden from him, ' and crawled into the dining room. r Here he placed this single barreled * shotgun with its butt against the wall, then puiting the muzzle of the a gun directly against his left side, he * pushed the trigger by means of h ' stick. The body was found by Mrs. 0 Dutton, who was awakened by the noise of the discharge.

The seekers < included, strong men and women of < middle life, boys and girls, and even; a grayheaded man. Very deep inter-!est and conviction was on the peo-j pie. Evangelist Hobbs returned yes-'J terday afternoon and preached last i night. 11 is subject was, "Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian." He' showed what a Christian is not; what a Christian is; gave a number of rea- 1 sons why one should be a Christian; ( told why many are not; explained 1 how to become one, and urged the peo- ( pie to become one now. It was a ( quiet calm service but deep conviction ' was pent up under the calm and the ( great deep of men's souls was stirred. ' God was there and it was a time of : thought and decision. When the altar! ' call was given people would stand,' ' think and decide and come forward with the aid of personal invitation and 1 some without it. Mr. Hobbs announced that he plans to remain over till Tuesday night, closing out at that time. Service is announced for Saturday night Sunday morning, Sunday night and Monday and Tuesday nights.

The 'olish debt to America totals $183,100,000. In 1921, foreign debts to the [mount of 7,000,000,000 marks were epaid. Although the new budget of Poland ike that of every other country in Curope, shows a deficit, it reveals ilso a state of revenue covering 90 ler cent of the expenditures as igainst 30 per cent in 1921 and only 0 per cent in 1920. The local press predicts a fair prosect of a budget balance during the urrent year and if this is accomplishd a state bank will be established md a new national currency issued o replace the present artificial curency wished onto the country during he German occupation. Two ministries of the government re already without a deficit, those of rade and commerce and agriculture, he latter running up a profit in 1921 f 12,000,000,000 marks. Poland's 1922 budget is popularly ailed a "peace budget," only 18 per ent of its total being allotted to miliary f-.penditure, the rapid demobiliatioiv of the Polish forces reducing his item to one of the lowest army ludgets in Europe.

JAIL STORMED; NEGRO LYNCHED Texarkana, Texas, May ID.?Members of a mob here tonight, battering down the jail door with an iron beam taken from the Miller county jail, Arkansas, a negro, Hullen Owens, who late today shot and fatally wounded R. C. Choate, Arkansas, side, dragged him at the enu of a rope until he was dead and afterward burned the body in the downtown section. Choate died on an operating table ! in a local hospital soon after the ."hooting. Owens, who was shot in the mouth by L. J. I.uiumus, chief of police, managed to escape to th^' wooas in a stolen automobile. He abandoned the ear about a mile from town and attempted to drown himself in a pool, according to Sheriff John Strange, who brought him back here. The mob soon gathered. Thousands of persons surrounded the jail during the attack but only a comparatively small number actually participated in the lynching. Judge H. M. Barney made an ineffectual plea that the law be permitted to take its course. The negro was dragged eight blocks, death resulting from strangulation. Twice the mob attempted to hoist the body to telephone poles but each time the mob died: "I^et's burn him," and the body was lowered. Owens had been arrested last night charged with theft of automobile accessories and at tfce time of the shooting this afternoon was being taken to a place where he said he had hidden some of the articles. Taking the officers into an alley he reached into a trash barrel, saying he would produce a battery, but instead he pulled out a weapon, turned on Chief of Police Lummus, and ordered the officer to stand back. Chief Lummus shot Owens in the mouth. Owens returning the fire but missed. Owens then fled three blocks and commandeered an automobile. Choate was shot by Owens while attempting to prevent the negro from getting away with the car. Owens had been transferred from the hospital, where his wound treated, to the county jail only a short time before the mob stormed th? foil
