party of more than a dozen men, mas
querading, as officers, appeared at the
county Jail and secured possession of the
men by presenting a bogus telegram to
the 16-year-eld son of the sheriff, ordering
the release of the blacks to the alleged
porae of officers. The negroes were being
held here for safe keeping on the charge
of murdering B. B. Smith, a sawmill man
of Wadesborough, Leon county, and
wounding another man named Register on
May 12.
The men. who had come from Tallahaase
to Lake City In automobiles, took the ne
groes about a mile outside of Lake City.
They compelled the negroes to stand
abreast and about ten men commenced
firing with rifles and pistols until every
one of the six had been riddled with bul
lets. The firing lasted about half an hour
and a few straggling citizens at daybreak
found the negroes shot up beyond recogni
tion. Just after the automobile left the
scene of the lynching. 1
Clroamstances Aid Lynchers.
The plans of the lynchers were most
daring, though but for a curious combina
tion of circumstances they would never
have been successful. The sheriff of Co
lumbia county was out of the city and left
the Jail In direct charge of the boy, who,
aroused In the early hours of the mornl
Ing, allowed the negroes to be taken from
the Jail without knowing the alnister pur
pose of the mob.
The telegram which the leader of the
mob showed the boy was supposedly from
the sheriff of Leon county, and stated that
the sheriff had Just received Intimations
that a mob was being formed at Talla
baase to take the negroes from the Lake
City Jail. The message ordered that the
men be carried further south to frustrate
the. suspected mob. The telegram ap
peared authentic, as the six negroes have
been moved frequently.
Residents of Laka City knew nothing
of the lynching until a fusillade of distant
shots were heard. A few citizens went

Waiting for His
All Alaskan Coal
Claims Reported to
Be Found Invalid
Statement by Field
Division of General Land Office
on Seven Hundred Cases.
PEA TTLE, Wash., Mny fl. Final report
has henn tria4 ttv rhn ffeM .flltrlalnn nf
the general, land office ,on TOO of the l.lflO
aianKsn cai oiaims Arid notice nx- .the,
imfiings will' l a sent to tW claimants in
due course. r
The contents of-tha report have not been
made public, but the situation may be
summarized as follows:'.
So far as known, none of the claims' In
the various Alaskan coal fields has been
found valid. In the Tananla field all the
locations have been cancelled, because no
application for patent wns made. In the
Cape Llsburne field, where a bluff of coal
overhangs the shore of the Arctic ocean,
all but two of the locations have been
cancelled.
The remaining 400 entries are now under
investigation, which is progressing as
rapidly as circumstances will rermlt. This
condition of affairs, land office officials
say, la a sufficient reply -to the charge
that the government Is delaying the open
ing of the Alaskan coal claims.
In a number of the coal I claim groups
remaining to be investigated the claimants
have declined to be Interviewed by special
agents of the general land office, and, also,
according to these officials, have refused
to furnish any Information concerning
their entries. The work of investigation.
It Is said, has been greatly delayed by
these refusals of Information.
In the Indictments returned by federal
grand Juries at Detroit, Chicago, Spokane
and Tacoma against the promoters of
various Alaska coal groups charges are
made that large groups of coal claims In
Alaska are controlled by a few persons
and that Individual locators have no Inter
est whatever In the claims.
It Is alleged In the Indictments that most
of the claimants are "dummies," whose
names were UBed to secure title to valuable
coal lands to enable the promoters to
speculate In the public domain.

PARIS. May 31. France paid a terrible
toll today for Its magnificent endeavor to
attain supremacy of the air when a
monoplane, tha driver of which had lost
control, plunged Into a group of membera
of the cabinet, who had gathered to wit-'
nees the start of the race from Paris to

and minister of the Interior.
Antoine Monla. son of the premier.
Henri De-uihcli de la Mourthe. the aged

A large number of the other persona of
note had narrow escapee from Injury.
The accident occurred on the aviation
field at Iesy les Mollneux, where 2O0.M0 per
sons had gathered to see the start of tha
race.
Aviators Not Hart,
M. Train was piloting the monoplane.
With him In the car waa M. Bounler, a
passenger. Neither of theae men was in
jured. The machine waa wrecked.
. Minister of War Berteaux waa horribly

Struck, the back of hla head was crushed

, Premier Monls was burled beneath the
wreckage of the monoplane. He was
taken out as quickly aa possible and ex
amined by military surgeons, who found
he had sustained compound fractures of
two bones in the right leg, that his nose
was broken, his face badly contused and
there were bruises on the breast and ab
domen. M. Deutsch and M. Monls were not seri
ously hurt.
Among those who hod narrow escapes

Monls and Minister Berteaux
and their party arrived at the aviation
field about o'clock thla morning, shortly
after Roland parros, M. Beaumont and
M. Glbert had started In the race.
Approach for Closer View.
The line of spectators bordering the fly
ing field was held rigid by soldiers, who
permitted the ministerial party and some
half hundred other persons of distinction
to walk across the field to where they
could get a better view down the course
and see the airmen aa they rose from the
starting point.
While the great assemblage cheered
madly the ministers saw Pierre Vedrlne,
who had been picked by many aa the prob
able winner of the race, mount easily from
the ground and head down the aerodrome,
only suddenly to capsize and fall, but to
emerge unhurt from the wreckage ot his
machine. Aviator Train, whose mono
plane caused today's acid en t, meanwhile
had taken his place at the starting line,
lever In hand, and with M. Bounler beside
him.
The breeze had been steadily freshening
and the meteorological observer in tha
Eifel tower telephoned that hla gauge
showed a velocity of close to thirty miles
an hour.
Train left the ground. Ascending swiftly
he circled the field, curving round to the
starting line and then flying down ths
course at forty miles an hour, his machine
rocking In the wind. At this moment It
was observed by the commandant of th
troops that the crowds were breaking the
line formation on one side of the field and
he dispatched a troop of culrasalers to get
them back in order. The culrasalers gal
loped across the field, breaking Into dou
