Record Herald Account
The following account of the Incl
dent was published in the Record
Herald, which is of the same political
faith as Senator Ruffcorn:
Senator William NJ. Ruffcorn, last
session Republican floor leader in
the house, bowed today under the
sting Of Senator Stewards cutting
sarcasm.
Senator Larson of Teton as the
senate convened asked the return of
). b. II from the house ito be killed"
RuffcOrn, its author, in amazement,
leaped to the bills defense; 81 want
the senator to tell" etc.
And the senator from Deer Lodge
told him.
And the senator from Sheridan add
cd a timely comment.
Then the senator from Teton sug-
gested that the senator from Valley
might have the bills printed and cir
culated for home county consumption
That Senator Ruffcorn of Valley
had lost track of a bill enacted in the
nineteenth session which was 'intro-
duced by himself and in his blind
folly is attempting adroitly to man
euver the senate into passing the
same bill identical line for line anc

Nine MEN IN MOB, ATTEMP ting
TO LYNCH MURDER SUSPECT OF
FIVE, shot BY NATIONAL GUARD

TAMPA, Fla, May 81 t9.-Nine men
were wounded here tonight when de-
tachment of national guardsmen pat
rolling the vicinity of the Hillsborough
county Jail fired into mob which
attempted to rush them.
The militiamen had been on duty
since early today when they quelled a
riot of several hours duration at the
iail growing out of the attempt OF a
mob of several hundred persons to
search the structure for G. F. Levlns,
confessed slayer Of five persons. 1t was
the third night in succession that a
mob had appeared,
Late tonight a large crowd congre-
gated just outside an area two blocks
in each direction which had been roped
off to prevent any approach ot1e jail.
While mounted troops were IN the
midst OF a sortie to scatter the groups,
a porion of the crowd dashed Tor
squad Of l6 national guard troopers
marching On patrol outside the ropes.
The mob was ordered back and when Ii
failed to halt, the soldiers etnpticd their
pistols into the advancing ranks. SIX
men in the forefront OF the attacking
party fell and were rushed to hospitals,
but the extent Of their injuries was not
Immediately determined.
Orders were given the milltiamen 10
shoot to kill il any further Threatening
movements wer made.
The battered Jail was being protected
on each side by machine gun batteries
while in addition TO the mounted and
foot patrols in the forbidden area rifle
men were stationed at vantage points
inside the Jail and III the cemetery ad-
jacent.
Shortly after the situation appeared
to have been quioted definitely by the
volley from the troops, several scattered
shots were fired at the soldiers by
members of the mob and the militia
men replied with machine gun Ire
The defenders of the jail then prepared
for further outbreaks.
Military ambulanceS and first aid
squads were rushed up amid the widest
disorder. 1t was found that three other
men had been hit by machine gun
bullets, increasing the number OF the
wounded to nine, two of whom were
said to be in q serious condition.
Today, while national guardsmer
armed with machine guns and tear ga
bombs guarded the jail which wa;
/ stormed last night by 1000 persons
searching for Levins, funeral serVice
were held for Mr.. and Mrs. Herman
Merrell and their three children. A
the last rites were being said for th
five members of the Merrell family
with whose deaths Levins is charged
repairs were being made to the jail
around which streets were roped Of
for two blocks, and the accused NAL
was safe in Jail in another county.
The mob was dispersed Monday nigh
four hours after nine men and tW

to the house where his wife and l8
months old daughter were living,
and in the late afternoon took his
wife for walk along the railroad
track on the outskirts of Bisbee.
At that time the deceased appeared
very much worried over something,
according to witnesses who saw
them sitting there. JanOvich, they
said, was sitting suIIenly beside her
with an open knife in his hand.
Shortly after that he returned to
the house where his wife lived and
announced to the people who lived
there and were friends of the fam
lily that he had just killed his wife.
They summoned the officers, who
arrested JanOvich, and he guided
them to the spot where the body OF
his wife lay with her thrOa cut.
When asked by the officers why he
had killed his wife, Janovich re-
piled, because like to-" At his
trial JanOvich admitted killing his
wife, offering as his excuse the
fact that after she had admitted
certain misconduct on her part be-
fore their marriage, but denied any
wrongful acts while he was in
CalifOrni a. '"That is why got
mad and killed her." he said.

The American Indian, said Mrs,

needs citizenship more than any

to this end can be accomplished
only through a complete investiga-
ton Of Indian affairs.
"One of the most disconcerning
features of the Indian legislation -

She cited as an instance "a rider

BALLOON RACE
RESULTS are
STILL UNKNOWN
Van Orman, Last Year
Winner, Makes Distance
OF 7O5 Miles

AKRON, Ohio, May 81. lR-Ward
T. Van Orman, winner of last years
national balloon race, again has made
a strong bid for free balloon ma
tional honors. Weighing off here
yesterday in the 1927 national bal
loon race, he brought his bag to
earth early tonight at Bar Harbor,
Maine, on the shore line Of the At
lantic ocean, 705 miles from Akron.
Of the nine balloons reported down
tonight out of the Is contesting in
the race Van OrnanS distance was
by far the greatest so far charted.
The ST. Louis Rotary clubs entry,
piloted by the veteran ballooniSt, Capt
Harry E. Honeywell, was brought
down at Brockvill, Ont, 425 miles
from Akron, for the second greatest
landing distance so far reported.
So far as is known at balloon
flight headquarters here, six entries
still are in the air. Not a single re-
port has been received from tour OF
them.
There are two pilots in the air to-
night who stand a good possibility OF
making better distance than Van Or
man. They are in the army NO. 8
and Scripps Howard entries.
Capt. William E. Kepner, pilot OF
the third army balloon, was reported
as drifting rapidly over Nashua, N. H.
early tonight. His distance from
Akron was approximately $50 miles.
Early this afternoon the Scripps-
Howard contestant was reported pass
ing over Wincoski, Vermont, near
burlington, which is about 500 miles
from Akron. Jack A. Boettner Is
pilot OF the bag.
These two balloons, should they
continue to float in strong air cur
rents and remain away from the At
lantic shore line, seem bound 10
push Van Orman for present national
honors. Gs
The three pilots who finish the
farthest distance from Akron win the
privilege of participating in the IN
ternational Gordon Bennett cup race
at Denver next September.

shot and one man was gassed by tear
bomb. Hospital authorities said many
others had left after receiving first aid
treatment
The mob, not believing a statement
by Sheriff HERS that Levins had been
spirited from Jail Sunday night and
angered when the sheriff directed fir
ing on the group, stormed the Jail and
set fire to the sheritts automobile
which was parked in front of the jail.
A Jagged hole was torn in wall OF the
jail with large timberS used by mem
bers of the mob in an attempt to force
an entrance.

Washington Anxious for

CANTONESE WIN
Powers Decide to Send Ex-
pcditiOnary Force to Pc
king, Tientsin.

MOSCOW, May 81 Decision
to make more intensive cam
paign in support OF the Chinese
revolution and 10 appeal TO the
workers of the world to assist
Soviet Russia to sabotage other ma
tiOns in the coming inevitable"
war was reached today by the ex-
ecutive committee of the third
internatiOnale.
WASHINGTON, May 81 R).-With
anxiety over the safety of American
citizens and diplomatic officials in
northern China revived by news of the
collapse of the northern Chinese attack
south of the Yellow river, the Wash
ington administration is considering re-
moval Of the American legation from
Peking to more easily defended point,
possibly Tientsin.
Dispatch of American marines from
Shanghai and possibly the Philippines
to Tientsin also is under consideration
and there developed little indication
today that the reported plan to send
marines under command OF Brigadier
General Butler at Shanghai to Tient-
sin to form an allied brigade for de-
fenSe of that point would be objected
to here.
With the northern Chinese army re-
ported in flight from Honan and An
swei provinces to the north bank of the
Yellow river before the onruSh Of the
southern nationaliStS it is felt by PreSi-
dent Coolidge that the Peking legation,
because of its general inaccessibility,
should be moved to Tientsin and that
remaining Americans in north China
should be concentrated there according
to prearranged plans.
No official confirmation was obtain
able in Washington today of the con-
clusion reported to have been reached
by allied commanders at Shanghai that
troops of foreign countries would be
assembled at TientSin or possibly
Peking but it has been reiterated that
Admiral Williams, commanding Ameri-
can naval forces in Chinese waters, and
General Butler are empowered to use
their own discretion in the movement
of troops at their disposal. The sug-
gested augmentation by 1000 mixed
troops of the Peking legation guard was
looked upon here as a logical develop
ment.
The state department is without
authentic official dispatches concern
ing the military situation along the
yellow river. Some apprehension was
felt that General Tso-Lin, commanding
the northern armies, might soon find
himself hemmed i'll by the advancing
southern troops and for the sake OF
protecting himself might abandon his
position and retreat to Manchuria, his
own province.
AS pictured at the state department,
General Chiang Kai-Shek, leader of
the moderate faction of the southern
militarists, who has set up his own
government at Marking, is racing the
liberal portion Of the Cantonese army

that capital from both northern and

DIFFICULT TRAIL FOLLOWED BY
LOCAL OFFICERS LEADS TO LOOT

Local officers last Sunday sue
cuSsfulIy completed what is con-
sidered one of the most difficult
trailing jobs attempted in the
vicinity of Douglas for some time,
when they followed the footprints
of two men to the Mexican bOr-
der from a dwelling that had been
plundered of more than $500
worth of clothing and about $3S
in cash.
Some time between noon and
2:3O o'clock last Sunday the resi-
dence of II. B. Mann at the C.
and A. smelter was entered and
looted. The loss of clothing and
cash was reported to police and
Deputy Sheriff 0. A. Aash, Police
Sergeant A. B. MurchiSon and
Officers Earl Reed and Miles
Pollard went to the scene of the
burglary.
MurchiSOn took care of the
fingerprint work and the other
three took the trail of the two
burglars. 1t led through grass
Douglas daily dispatch., 1927-06-01

and sagebruSh and over other
kinds of soil where tracking was
difficult. But the two fugitivcs
were traiIed to the border and
the Mexican police given all the
information available concerning
the loot.
Last night report was re-
ccived that man giving the
name of JavieI Romero had been
arrested in Aqua Prieta with part
of the loot in his possession, ana
officers said that they believed
nearly all the clothing stolen
would be recovered within day
or two. Deputy Ash said last
night that Romero probably will
be prosecuted in Mexico for TAX
ing stolen property across the
line in violation of the customs
laws, instead of being returned
here for trial. The second man
believed to have been implicated
in the theft had not been ar
rested late last night.
