FEARED MOB VIOLENCE
Orange. Feb. 14.—With a mob
j rapidly forming, Sheriff Helton of
j Orange County Saturday night in-
creased his force from 10 to 35
men and ordered electric lights
strung around the county jail in
an effort to save the lives of two
negroes held on charges of mur-
dering three white men late yes-
terday.
Late Saturday night the mob was
estimated at 200 men, who had
gathered on a downtown street and
were being harangued by several
leaders.
When Sheriff Heltoil and depu-
ties approached the men and urged
that they allow the law to take its
course his overtures were met with
stony silence.
Fear reigns in the negro section
of Orange. Several negroes have
left town, it is said, and others
are keeping to their homes.
The special deputies armed with
pistols, rifles and riot guns are
patrolling corridors of the county
jail.
In their cells, the negroes are
frantic with fear, officers say.
Negroes Are in Jail
The dead are:
Basil Stakes, 30, deputy sheriff.
Joseph Prejean, 44, prominent
meat market man.
Dallas Morris, 22, delivery boy for
Prejean.
The men Under arrest are:
Frank Wilkes, 25, delivery boy
for his father, Bell Wilkes.
John Batchart, friend of Wilkes.
The trouble started between Pre-
jean and Morris and the two ne-
groes about 9:30 o’clock Saturday
morning near the corner of Tenth
and Cypress Streets. When the
shooting was over Prejean was found
in an unconscious condition and was
rushed to the Frances Ann Lutcher
Hospital where he later died.
Morris was dead when those at-
tracted to the scene by the shoot-
ing picked him up.
Stakes Accidentally Killed
It was at this juncture that Stakes
was accidentally shot and killed by
a rifle in his own hands which be
longed to Wilkes.
Stakes snatched the gun from the
negro when he placed him under
arrest, and struck him over the head
with the butt. The jar exploded a
cartridge in the rifle and the bullet
struck the dupty sheriff in the fore-
head, causing instant death.

ADMIRAL MAKES DENIAL
Washington, Feb. 14.—Rear Ad-
miral Shoemaker, one of the ranking
naval officers at the 1923 bombing
tests against the battleships Virginia
and New Jersey, denied before the ;
House Aircraft Committee Saturday i
he had “so blue penciled” a maga-!
zine article describing the tests as to \
“materially alter” the contents.
The Admiral also denied he had
said at the time the article was
presented to him “it’s true, it’s all
true, but we can’t let this get out
or it will ruin the navy.”
The Admiral said the article as
submitted to him did not entirely
state the ease, covering it only
front an aviation standpoint, and
so he added two paragraphs.

SAYS FRANCE UNABLE TO
MEET INTEREST ON DEBTS
Paris, Feb. 14.-
porter-general of
-M. Violette, re-
thfe budget, has
virtually confessed the inability of
France to meet interest payments
on her huge debt.
If it is impossible to find relief
from interest charges now amount-
ing to upward of $1,000,000,000 an-
nually, Violette told the Chamber
of Deputies Saturday “it soon will
be impossible to draw up a new
budget.”
Violette pointed out that the an-
nual interest on French debts, in-
cluding those to the United States
and England now is 19,500,000.000
francs. The total budget is only
24,000.000,000, and payment of the
interest is “impossible.”
