of large size at one. another. On
this occasion the road was a bat
tleground and the passengers re-
ceiYed the fire Of q sinnian warrior.

Attempt TO Storm Jail at Beaumont Is
Beaten Back by Officers.
BEAUMONT, Tex, June % P).-
A mob which included several women
early today failed In an attempt to
storm the Jefferson County Jail and
seize Rainey Williams, 80, colored, who
has confessed eight attacks on Port
Arthur white women in the past 80
days.
Williams was brought to Beaumont
from Port Arthur for safe keeping after
an attempt to lynch him yesterday
had been thwarted by peace officers
and firemen.
Arriving from Port Arthur bv motor
at l am. today, the mob, a hundred
strong. served notice it intended to
storm the Jail. Surging forward leaders
grappled with the sheriff, who stood
outside the building facing the mob.
Deputies stationed in windows warned
the Sheriff'S attackers they were pre-
pared to open fire and the men re-
treated. Fire equipment was summoned
and four policemen joined the sheriff 8
force.
Tear rs bombs were hurled into the
ranks of the mob to stem a second at
tempt to enter the Jail. A heavy stream
of water was poured on the attackers,
but firemen were quickly overpowered
and the hose cut in bits.
Two hours after their first assault on
the Jail, the mob admitted its efforts
futile and withdrew, a rope trailing
from one of the automobiles.

appropriation bil1e might be considered
sudden emergency"
The Commissioners have fairly we'll in
mind what can be done assuming that
the bill fails but the continuing reso-
luton is passed. In this case, there
would be available for running the Dis
trict approximately $29,094,235. The
1881 bill as passed by the House and
now deadlocked on Capitol Hill provides
SIC, 1923 1862 for maintenance and oper-
ating expenses. Therefore, on the basis
OF maintenance and operating expenses
the District under continuing resolu-
ton would lose appropriations for the
various services of the Government
amounting to $1,829,627
For betterments and improvements
including new projects of all kinds
such as school buildings, the Municipal
Center, sewers, street paving and So
forth, the District would apparently lose
$14,4l0,455. This figure is dependent
on the exact wording of the resolution
and assumes that where a building has
been started in the present year, but
not completed, the resolution would
not allow it be completed. 1t may be
that the wording of the resolution would
allow such buildings to be continued
would be reduced by about a million
and half or two million dollars.
II the $1.70 rate is continued and
the continuing resolution adopted. the
amount of loss" would come into the
Treasury but would not be available
for expenditure. All of the work repre-
Sented by the loss, however, will still
have to be done, and the net effect
would probably be a larger appropri-
alton bill in 1882 to make up for the
items left out in 1881.

Much of the conversation with Ulm
had to do with details of the flight
across the Atlantic. Kingsford-Smith
told Ulm that his plane, the Southern
Cross, was within 40 or so miles of Cape
Race, Newfoundland, for two hours or
