 THREE ASSAILANTS
Called From House and Se- riously Injured by Un-
 identified Men.

Boebc, Nov. 22.-Sherrill Will Hams, aged about 23, farmer living seven miles southeast of here, was shot through the jaw and seriously injured about 5 o'clock Monday night by three unidentified men on horseback who had called him from his house to tho front gate. The at tack is believed to have been the result of Williams accompanying prohibition officers on recent trip after several suspects.
 The assailants fired five shots, but only one took effect. The bullet struck Williams in the right cheek and passed through his mouth and out the left cheek. The men fled on horseback and have not been ap- prehended although officers have been attempting to trail them with bloodhounds.
 Williams and his young wife walk ed a half mile to the home of his father, c. S. Williams where medical aid was summoned. The young man lost consciousness for several hours after arriving at his fathr's home, but physicians say that un- less complications set in he has a chance to recover

While he declared he had not de cided what he would say he inti- mated that he might bring up the subject of the Ku Klux Klan and suggest action by the governors of their states in reference to the klan. Denial was made by Senator Ransdell, Democrat of Louisiana, on l the floor of the Senate yesterday, of published reports of "crime, law l lessness and terrorism in Louisi- ana.
 The Senator declared that upon returning Monday from visit to his home state, where he found con- ditions normal, he was shocked and grieved to read reports as printed in a Washington newspaper. He said that he heard much com ment on the Mer Rouge outrages, which have been blamed in some quarters upon individual members tended the crime was insignificant as compared with the Chicago race riots of two years ago; the min CTS war ill West Virginia a year ago or the Herrin lynchings of last summer.

 'I cannot conceive how such sweeping, libelous and extremely damaging statements in regard to an entire sovereign state--not to some community thereof--could have been given even ordinary publicity ! in reputable newspaper, but when placed on the first page of one of the greatest journals in America, issued at the nations capital, un- der headings so large as to at tract universal attention, it is ut terly incomprehensible. cannot believe the Post set out willfully and deliberately to slander and destroy the good name of Louisiana. but unless immediate retraction is made by it in the same conspicu- GUS way that the libel was uttered, the effect is certain to be most injurious.

been filled with helium instead of the highly inflammable hydrogen, but since the Army did not have the helium the accident could not have been avoided.
 No Loss of Life
 Fortunately there was no loss of life when the C-2 burned at San Antonio. And since the envelope of the C2 like those of most of the other dirigibles TOW in existence, is unsuited for the use of helium, it is perhaps just as well that she burned under those circumstances before there had been another such catastrophe as that of the Roma to the record of the Air Service.
 The joint Army and Navy helium plant at Fort Worth, Txas, is now in operation It is from this plant that both the Army and Navy ex- pect to obtain their future supplies of non-inflammable gas It is esti- mated that by the end of next year the plant will have produced from 12,000,0OO to 14,0OO,000 cubic feet Of helium, which is expected to be sufficient for the immediate needs of the two branches of the service.
 Not only does helium require different material in the dirigible envelope, but it also requires big ger envelope approximately than that necessary for airships floated by hydrogen. The proportion be- tween the lifting power of helium and that of hydrogen is about as 92 to 100. according to the Air Ser vice experts. This means that the envelope of the Roma or the C-2 would have had to be enlarged if the ships were to have had the same buoyancy when helium gas was used.
 Building Helium Bags.
 Tho four new dirigibles now being built for the Army Air Ser vice all are to be equipped with en-
 
 This means that a different sort of material must be used in the con struction of the bag. It has been estimated that an airship of the di- mansions of the C2, equipped with the same sort of envelopes would have permitted the escape of ap- proximately 5000 cubic feet of helium gas day. while with the specially adapted bags the loss is reduced to almost nothing.
 Of these four airships three are small, being of about the same di mansions as the C2. The fourth. however, will be nearly four times as large, and will be only slightly smaller than the Roma, believed to be the largest dirigible of her type ever constructed.
 While there is a difference of as to the practical military value of the dirigible, the Department has no intention of abandoning this type of aircraft. If the ill-fated Roma had continued in service it had been intended to try the experi- ment of using her as an "airplane carrier,' from which airplanes might be launched during flight of the airship. This line of experi- ment probably will be continued in the future.
