-FOUR DEAD IN.
MOB STORM|NG.
FLORIDA JAIL.
More Than Score Addi-
tional Wounded by Ma
tional Guard Gunfire.
STOP LYNC,HING
Attempt Made to Mob Con-
fessed Murderer of Fam
lily of Five.

TAMPA, Fla, June 1. (P) -. Four
dead, three others in a serious condi-
ton and more than a score wounded
marked the three nights of rioting
that eliminated last night when ma
tional guardsmen answered shots
from a crowd in the vicinity of the
county jail with machine gun fire.
Civil and military officials express
ed the belief tonight that the reign
of violence had been suppressed, but
every precaution against recurrence
was maintained. Thirty alleged mem
bers of the mobs were under arrest
and held to await action by the grand
jury, called to meet in special session
Monday to, investigate the disturb
aI1ces
Undisrnayed by an unsuccessful at
tempt Sunday night to remove B. F.
Levins, confessed slayer of five, from
the county jail, and another attempt
Monday night when IL persons were
wounded in fight with deputy sher-
ifs, the mob formed again last night
and persisted in it's purpose until the
troopers fire had moved down 81
persons, four of whom subsequently
died.
Whether any of those killed actu-
ally were members of the mob was
undetermined. At least one of the
victims was on an errand of mercy.
Hugh Edward McRae of Fort Will
liams, Ont had stopped to minister
to wounded man lying in the street
when stray bullet struck him. The
other victims were Hal Pifer 33, of
Ocala, Fla, foreman of drivers for
bus line; Earl McGill, an employe of
the Sinclair Oil company, and w. E.
Browning, 43.
Levins, who said he beat to death
Herman Merrell, his wife and three
children early Saturday with ham
mer because he nlistook them for
members of another family against
whom he harbored a grudge, was
taken from Tampa for safekeeping
Sunday night, and the mob's wrath
apparently was diverted to the Off
GERS and guardsmen.
The troops, which were called out
yesterday, were greeted with Flying
rocks, eggs and taunts from the crowd
early last night and later fired on.
They returned the fire with machine
guns and the clashes continued in
termittently until after midnight.
Many civilians treated at hospitals
sal dthey were several blocks from
the Jail when struck by bullets, which
shattered windows on Franklin street,
Tanpa's main thoroughfare, three
blocks from the Jail. A. D. Sears,
who was shot in the thigh, said he
was at home in bed when six bullets
tore through his house.
Leonard Thomasson, arrested with
Levins, and first accused by him of
the crime, was released today.

ANGLO RUSSIAN
RUPI'URECALLED
PRELUDE TOWAR
President of Council Ad-
dresses Session of
Moscow Soviet

MOSCOW, June /. P)--Alexis Ryk-
off, president of the council of peo-
pies comn1issars, addressing a plenary
session of the Moscow soviet today
declared that the British rupture with
Russia was a prelude to war.
The international situation, there
fore, was pregnant with grave COM
pllcationS. The British government
he asserted, wished to improve its
position by provoking war, in which
it hoped to play a leading part, leav-
ing the dirty part of the work" to
other peoples who, being thereby
weakened, would be subordinated to
Britain. To this danger the soviet
union opposed steady policy OF
peace.
Other points in the presidents long
speech were that the British govern
n1ent's charges against the soviets
since 1921 always had been based on
forged documents, and that Great
Britain long had actively engaged in
spying on the soviet republic. A
group of captured spies, who had act
ed in the British interests, now were
in prison. One had been shot.
NJ. Rkyoff cited an alleged letter
from the British consul in Leningrad
to the British mission in Moscow and
other documents as proof of his allie
cations The soviet, however, had
made no fuss about these, holding
that the incidents did not justify a
diplomatic dispute.

tion's Homage to Hero

LONDON, June l .P) All the
thoughts OF Capt. Charles Lindbergh
now are OF America, home cad his
future. He Will start back on one
of Uncle Sans fastest cruisers, the
urday morning and it is expected he
will reach Washington June H.
Captain Lindbergh is pleased With
the idea of going direct to Washing
ton and being received by the presi-
cent in the nations capital. He mas
acquired the habit Of meeting presl-
dents and ruling monarchs since ne
dropped out of the skies into the
welcoming arms Of France.
The speed with which the trip on
the Memphis can be made appeals to
him. He is joyfui also that his be-
loved lnonoplane, THE Spirit of st.
Louis" will be safely EMBODIED in the
bosom of the Memphis, packed and
Grated as carefully as any jewel, all
under his own direction.
The plane will be placed on the
Memphis Friday morning, when the
warship calls at Southampton The
cruiser Will then proceed to Cner-
bourg to take on the young hero.
Most of the Captain Lindbergh's
day was devoted to the derby, but
tonight was Lindy night with Ameri-
cans, resident III London. On the eve
of mis- departure for Paris, on his
way home, he was the guest OF honor
cf the combined American societies,
who assembled at the Savoy five
hundred strong to heap compliment
on compliment on the young mans
shoulders for all he had done to
bring the two countries into closer
relationship.
Notable men from various ranks OF
British life sat at the same BOARD
with. Lindbergil and offered praise
equal tc that shcwered on him by
the Americans themselves. Sir Sam
uel Hoare, the British air minister,
said the English people as well as
Americans, were glad to nonor Ollie
who syn,bolized the youth OF today
and who mad done SO much for CIVIL
ization'S progress.
The banquet was rendered by the
American society, the American
Chamber of Commerce and the Amer
lean club of London D. Campbell
lee, president of the American So
ciety, presided. Sir Samuel Hoare pro-
posing Captain Lindberghs health
In bidding goodbye to the people
of Great Britain, who, he said, could
not possibly have received him any
more enthusiastically than they CID,
I.indbergh declared he was looking
forwarc to coming hack at the very
first opportunity. He eulogized the
memory of Wilbur Wright and Sir
John Alcock and paid tribute to Or
vile Wright, Sir Arthur Witten Brown
and Louis BIeTiot. all OF whom had
done their share in making his flight
across the Atlantic possible.
Neither Britons nor Americans, he
said, should lose sight of Sir Alan
Cobhanl's accomplishments or those

FLOOD WATERS
FINALLY REACH
GULF OF MEXICO
Two thirds AIIuviaI Land
Of Louisiana Was En-
quilted In Flood

NEW ORLEANS, June (P.-Having
engulfed approximately 10000 square
miles, or two thirds of the alluvial
lands of Louisiana, as it streamed from
more than a dozen crevasses, the un-
precedented Mississippi valley flood
slowly drained into the Gulf of Mex
leo tonight with falling stages every
where except in the south portion.
In the central part of the Mississippi
river, however, high water again was
threatened and at Cairo, ILL., the
weather bureau predicted At feet, two
feet above flood stage by Sunday. At
New Madrid, Mo-, which suffered
severely a month ago, new dykes were
being thrown up in anticipation of
more high water.
A lake more than 225 miles long and
ranging from so to 100 miles wide, lies
over the lowlands along the west side
of the Mississippi river and through
the level basin of the Atchafalaya
river.
AS ridges of land emerged from the
flood with recession of waters to the
north another great exodus was about
to begin. Joyful refugees, glad that
they can go back to the homes from
which they were driven by the racing
waters, prepared to set sail on the
receding sea to be in their houses and
ready to plant crops as quickly as they
can get into the fields.
Twenty parishes were involved in the
sweep of the flood through Louisiana
and thousands of acres went under
water where floods had never been
known within memory of the inhabi-
tants. Major John c. Gotwals, army
engineering corps, estimated that
6,400,000 acres submerged from the

Troops From Philippines
Transferred to General
Butler In China.
DANGER is SEEN
Few Americans Left In
Northern China, as Can.
tOneSe Advance.

WASHINGTON, June i M y
Movement of between 4OCO and
5000 American marines from
Shanghai and the Philippines to
Tientsin to meet any emergency
that may arise from the collapse
of the northern Chinese army
south of the Yellow river is being
carried ont i'll accordance with
pre-arranged plans, official dis
patches received here today said.
Tile force constitutes more than
$500 marines which Brigadier General
Smedley D. Butler, American marine
commander in Cnlna had held for
many weeks at Shanghai and ap-
proxinately l,700 which are en- route
from Olongapo in the Philippines.
Jhe latter force left three or four
days ago. it was said, but it was
not definitely known when General
Butler sailed with his men from
Shanghai
The only other marines IN China
are the comparatively small number
maintained as a guard for the Amer
lcan legation at Peking ana these
also will be moved, officials said, il
it should be deemed advisable to
transfer The legation to more ac-
cesSible point for protection purposes
i'll the nCrth.
Either tlle transfer of the legation
to TieItsin or the carrying out or
the proposed strengthening OF the
Peking guards by 1000 additional
mixed troops is regarded here as Il
logical development, although no or
ficial word was received today in that
connection.
State department officials reiterated
that Admiral Williams, commanding
naval forces in Chinese waters. ana
General Butler were empowered to
use their discretion in moving their
forces.
The movement IT marines has been
under consideration for some time IN
view OF the reported flight CT the
northern Chinese army from donan
ana Anllwei provinces and the con-
sequent danger faced by Americans
and other foreigners in those regions.
Officials do not forsee any serious
trouble such as occurred 81 Nanking.
,ince few Americans remain in north
China. Their concentration at Tieno-
sin, it was pointed out, has been
for some weeks.

OF NACO DIES.
in auto CRASH

out Southwest as the
prince of Naco"

BlSBEE, June l. (R)-Jose Sarkis
Dominguez, more Familiarity known
throughout the southwest as The
Prince of Naco," was Instantly killed
and M. Wehby Tucson merchant
was severely injured about 8 O'Clock
today when a car which the latter
was driving turned over on the Tue
son road about six miles west of
Benson.
Domlnguez's neck was broken and
his head crushed when caught be-
tween the front seat and the TOP of
the overturned car, it was reported
Inc car turned over twice before it
came to stop. Wehby was saved
from death by being thrown clear
of the car.
1t is believed here that the car
was travelling at about As miles an
hour and that it struck some loose
road surface, causing it to skid and
turn over. A passing motorist noti-
lied J, J. Wien, deputy sheriff at
benson, and he fastened to the scene
OF the accident. 1t is expected that
coroner's inquest will be held over

For nearly 20 years Dominguez has
been in the customs brokerage and
general merchandise business at
Naco and has been widely known
throughout the entire southwest for
his lavish hospitality. He was one
of the best known and most influ-
ential men of Naco.

in the general merchandising business
in Douglas, his store being located
at what is the present site of Millers
cafe, at Eleventh street and G ave-
nue.. He had many friends here,

Elks lodge at Bisbee, an honorary
member of the Arizona Press club
and also an honorary member of the
San Diego chamber OF commerce. He
