.L|FERS ATTEMPT
 ESCAPE; JAILER
 PREVENTS BREAK
Twenty-one-Ye Year-Old Bank Robber Is Shot in
 Abdomen

SPOKANE, Wash, June 1.-The courage of a county jailer who was beaten on the head with black kjacks and threatened with a revolver, pre- vented the escape yesterday of three convicted murderers from the county jail.
 LeRoy Knapp, 2l, bank robber and slayer, was shot and possibly fatal ly wounded before reaching freedom.
 A. B. Coldeen, county jailer, was painfully, but not critically injured by the pounding he received.
 Knapp, who today would have been called before the judge to hear him fix the date for his hanging for a bank robbery and staying in Spokane year ago last February, was shot through the abdomen by Sheriff's Deputy Bill Dieter.
 Dieter fired and hit Knapp as the latter was opening the jails outer door.
 Stanley Knapp, LeRoy's brother and the actual killer of William Walker in the bank robbery, and Herbert Allen, also under the death sentence for the same robbery, par ticipated in the attempted jail break, but surrendered when LeRoy Knapp was shot.

 The radio set KANG, Alaska Air Transports Juneau ground station, was saved, as was the bulk of ex- pensive machinery in the shops
 Total damage, including airplane, shops and equipment will come very close" to $20,000, according to T. A. Morgan, owner of the build ing housing the Alaska Air Trans port Shops and the Commercial Dock warehouse, where damage is as yet unestimated from water on building materials stored there by the Columbia Lumber Company.
 Work will begin sometime next week in rebuilding the airplane shops end of the building, accord ing to Morgan, and will represent a building cost of around $10,000. Plans are not yet complete.
 Sheldon Simmons said today, We're looking around for a new plane to replace the Bellanca, but we're not out of business. We still have the seven place Lockheed and the four place Stinson and we're in the flying business the same as usual"
 Insurance adjustors said today the fire was caused by welding torch which ignited fabric of the de- stroyed Bellanca and quickly turned the entire shops into a veritable in- ferno.

 Only ships now in the restricted area are British, French and Unit- ed States gunboats.
 Stiff Opposition
 The stiffest opposition to the at tack is expected at Kiukiang. where the Chinese have formed a boom of sunken junks. loaded with rock, across the river
 General Chiang Kai-Shek met the new threat with an order that men be conscripted from all prov. inces on the basis of population.
 The order specifics that sons of the wealthy be conscripted the same as coolies.
 At Chengchow. the Chinese, again resorting to guerilla tactics, broke up into number of small forces and began marrying the Japanese attacking forces from all Hanks, slowing the Nippon advance per- ceptibly.
