We submit herewith an explana-
ton which created this deficit: In
preparing a schedule for the pres
ent Jail building, it was assumed
that the jail building fund, with
accrued interest, would aggregate
approximately $4,000, but in our
survey of the records in the county
treasurer's Office we find that the
Jail building fund, including the
premium on bonds and accrued in
terest aggregates only $79,785.02
Or approximately $1,000 less than
the assumed amount. Further, we
find that an item of $556.32 had been
paid out Of this fund in the year
of 1915. These totals reduced the
available fund approximately 81, 800
During the construction Of the said
Jail building, sheriff's residence and
central heating plant, the Jail build
ing committee found it necessary
at times to alter the plans and spec
ificati0ns in accordance with the
circumstances as they arose. This
in some cases, created an excess
while in others created a credit
The committee was wholly within
its power in this matter as per au-
thorization given it by the board Of
supervisors while in regular ses-
sion.
In order to cover this deficit and
bring the Jail building fund to a
balance, We submit a resolution
providing for the same.
With the incorporation of the
central heating plant in the new
Jail building it became necessary to
do certain work in connection with
the Jail building in order to pre-
pare it for the future installation
OF the heating boilers. This work
consisting Of increasing the depth

Pilot and Plane Plunge Into

injuries.
The flying boat, a Curtiss ma
chine, was bought by Mr.. Laytham
recently for use at his summer home
on Martha's Vineyard. He and
Moore were to start for the island
at p. m. to join Mr.. Laythar1's
family. They intended to make only
a short flight the first day to famil-
iarize Mr.. Laytham with his new
vehicle, alighting probably in the VII
cinity of Bayonne. =

Laytham, who is president of the
Eagle Iron and Brass Foundry, tele-
phoned to the boathouse on the Pas

to start. He instructed Moore to
fly the machine to Bayonne, where
he would join him.
Moore had the engine tuned up
for the trip and took the air at 5
o'clock. He was circling at a height
of about ESQ feet when, at a sudden
swerve to the left, the flying boat
went into tail spin. Before he
could regain control of it the ma
chine plunged into two big tanks of
solicited alcohol on the property of
the Anderson Chemical company at
Wellington, N. j., across the river
from Passaic.
Employees Of the plant regarded
it as little less than a miracle that
the combustible stuff in the. tanks
failed to explode. The flying boat
was wreck and it's pilot was pinned
beneath it. It was more than half
an hour before he could be ex-
tricated. aMoore's skull was frac-
,tured. his left eye blinded and he
was injured internally. He was taken
to st. Mary's hospital, Passaic. His
home is at 81 Ludlow street, Yon-
kers.

OF MEXICOFOUGHT
BY Elk = MINISTER

WASHINGTON, July 8.-Ygnacio
Bonillas, Mexican ambassador to the
United States under the Carranza
regime, was in Washington today,
attempting to persuade the state de-
partment TO refuse recognition to the
new government of Mexico. ..
Bonillas' visit follows closely the
reception by Acting Secretary of
State Davis, of Fernando Iglesias-
Calderon, high. commissioner of the
new Mexican government.
Realizing that disavowal Of the
murder of Carranza will probably
be one of the principal considerations
upon which recognition of the pres
emit Mexican regime by the, United
States will hinge, Bonillas " has
charged to state department officials
that General Alvaro Oregon, leader
of the revolt against Carranza, was
the instigator of the killing.
Bonillase charges that Rodolfo Her
zero, accused of the murder of Car
rama, was merely a tool of Obreson
and acted upon instructions or the
latter. &c..

American officials, it is stated au-
thoritatively, are impressed with the

of De La Huerta and of the. efforts
to bring about order. in Mexico, but
they have taken note that the active
