Tampa was quiet this morning. Apparently the "siege of the Hillsborough county jail" was at an end. After three nights of rioting, which took a toll of five killed and more than a score wounded as mobs of infuriated civilians sought to enter the jail to take a confessed murderer, special deputies enforced a 9 o'clock curfew throughout the city last night and there was peace. Thirty alleged members of the mobs were under arrest awaiting action by a grand jury. The special officers sworn in at a mass meeting of citizens yesterday, augmented a detachment of 500 National Guardsmen, who were rushed to the scene shortly after the trouble started Sunday night.

Throughout the rioting the object of the mob's wrath, B. F. Levins, who had confessed he killed Herman Mer-rell, his wife and three children thinking they ere another family who had done him a "dirty trick" was safe from their fury, imprisoned in another county, officers announced. SUSSEX CO. W.

KILLER NEVER FOUND (By The Associated Press.) Fall River, June 2. Miss lisbeth A. Borden, who was acquitted of the murder of her father and mother in 1S93 after one of the most celebrated murder trials in New England, died last night.

Miss Borden underwent an operation about a year ago and had never fully recovered. The bodies of her father and mother were discovered in their home here August 4. 1893. They had been hacked to death with an axe. Their daughter, generally known at the time as "Lizzie" was arrested and charged with the crime.

Some of the most famous lawyers of the dap participated in the trial. The leading attorneys in the trial are now dead and others directly connected with the trial, except for a sister, Emma, have died, and the possible exception of Bridget Sullivan, a servant in the Borden home, who was i a leading witness. She returned to her home in Ire-' land and it is not known here whether she is still living. After her acquittal Miss Borden was not again in the public eye. Andrew J.

Borden was a wealthy business man, and owned much valuable real estate in this city. It was in the middle of the forenoon of August 4. 1892, when his daughter Lizzie rushed into the home of a woman neighbor and told her that she had found her father dead in the living-room." The neighbor returned with her and saw the body, then went upstairs and found the body of Mrs. Borden in a bedroom. The autopsy showed that had been killed with cither an axe or a cleaver.

For several days the ca.se ba filed the authorities Finally, building up a oae of circumstantial evidence about Lizzie Borden, they arrested her and brought her to trial in New Bedford. Asa motive the state sought to show that in view of the fact that Mrs. Borden was her stepmother she feared that she would not get a liberal share of her father's etate upon his death, and decided to do away with both father and stepmother "in order that she and her sister Emma might get the estate at once. In her own defense. Miss Borden insisted that she was not in the house at the time of the murders.

She said that- Mr. and Mrs. Borden were alive when she went out to the barn to look for some fishing tackle and when she returned she found them dead. Her sister, it was definitely established, was away at the time on an errand. After Lizzie Borden's acquittal the case lapsed into an unsolved mystery.

"FARMERS BULLETINS" PRESENTED TO LIBRARY The Wilmington Institute Free Library has received, as a gift from United States Senator Coleman du Pont, eight bound volumes made un i I I i FOR FITTING HONOR TO LONE SEA FLIER Continued from page 1 As plans for the airman's entertain ment upon his arrival in America rap idly shape up, it becomes apparent that it will be impossible for Lind bergh to visit each city to which he is invited, and hopes of him paying a formal visit to Wilmington are fading According to present plans, "Lone Slim" will arrive in Washington, aboard the cruiser Memphis, on Sat urday, June 11. He will ipeni Sun day in the national capital, and will fly to New York on Monday. The trip northward will enable not only Washington, but also Baltimore, Wil mington and Philadelphia, to applaud the intrepid airman before the city of New York claims him as its own. To Pass Over About Noon. lYom present indications, he will fly over this city shortly before noon.

It is hoped that he will make the trip in the Spirit of St. Louis, the same monoplane with which he made hi3 famous continent-to-continent hop, if it is possible to reassemble the air man's own plane in time. Otherwise, he will navigate a plane which the Army will supply him. While he will not land, it is plan ned to request him to fly at a low altitude as he passes over the city, so that his admirers here will have opportunity to catch a glimpse of him. Plans are now being made for the city to pay a sort of "long distance" tribute to him as he speeds over the house tops.

While the plans are still in a nebulous form, it is probable that in dustrial plants about the city will greet him with blasts from the plant whistles. One of the firms in the cen tral part of the city which Is equipped with a particularly loud siren will probably be requested to start the greeting by a blast from its siren, and other plants will join in the noisy tribute. It is realized that if the blasts did not start until he was sighted over the city, he would be miles away be point south of the city, with instruc- tions to notify this city when he is sighted there. Plans are also under way to have Lindbergh's name spelled out inj huge white letters. providing, a plot of ground of sufficient area can be procured- While Rodney Square was suggested for this, it is not considered large enough, and the golf links at the Rock Manor course will probably be selected.

A committee will probably be named by Mayor Forrest within a few days to prepare the city's greeting to Lindbergh. The mayor has given his assurance that he will co-operate in any plan to honor the flier. PLANS MORE H0N0RSF0R HERO Newspapers Filled With Details of His Return and Adieu. (By The Associated Press.) Paris, June '2. Captain Lindbergh, or, "Landbear" as the French pronounce his name, again took the cen- ter of the Parisian stage today.

The newspapers were full of detail of his return to France from England, scheduled for tomorrow, and the arrangements for his departure for home on the cruiser Memphis Satur oay. They had two new kindly caricatures of him and a number of old photos, including one of a wrecked plane from which he escaped by means of a parachute at Bloomington, 111. Lindy's farewell visit to Paris may be incognito, but if the French have their way he is not going to succeed in hiding his light under a bushel. Two engagements have already been arranged for him. He will attend a gala festival organized by the Legion of Honor Society of the fashionable Eighth, Sixteenth and Seventeenth precincts of Paris, and tomorrow the International League of Aviators has arranged a luncheon in his honor at the clubhouse, to which only aviators will be admitted.

Cherbourg is thrilled over the prospect of saying farewell to the aviator in behalf of Paris. There will be an air escort of French naval sea planes, as the Memphis steams out of the harbor Saturday and nothing is being neglected to make the day a memorable one. LINDBERGH WAITS FOR CHANNEL FOG TO CLEAR Kenley, England, June 3. Captain Charles A-. Lindbergh, who is scheduled to leave here for Paris this afternoon at 4 o'clock was awaiting weather reports from the English Channel before hopping off.

Weather conditions at 3 o'clock when he was scheduled to leave, were fogy and hazy, but an hour later wer-s reported as improving. STANLEY W. BIRKENHEAD DIES IN ATLANTIC CITY HOSPITAL After 'receiving treatment in an Atlantic City hospital for the past two weeks. Stanley W. years old, died Mr.

PAR WHEN CAR UPSETS George Motiltoti of Penn's Grove in Hospital With Fractured Skull. With his skull fractured and believed to be auffering from internal injuries, Oeorge Moulton, aged 22 years, a resident of Penn's Orove, is in the Salem Memorial Hospital in a critical condition, having been injured early yesterday morning when the automobile in which he was riding was overturned at the Forked Hickory cross road below Carney's Point.

Harmon Sutton, aged 19 years, another resident of Penn's Grove, who was riding with Moulton, was painfully injured in the crash and is now at his home. The accident occurred some time after midnight yesterday morning but nothing was known of It until about 2 o'clock when Sutton appeared at Brown's taxi station in Penn's Grove and in a dazed condition, told of an automobile overturning. It was gleaned from his remarks about where the accident occurred and two men who hurried to the scene found Moulton pinned under the car. He was brought to Penn's Grove where Dr. J.

C. Dyer gave him medical attention then ordered him removed to the hospital. Sutton had a long deep gash in one leg and was otherwise cut and bruised but despite his injuries he walked more than two miles to summon aid for his friend. 400 PllODVICTiS FOODLESS 2 DAYS Waters Gradually Subsiding, But Towns Are Yet Under Water. (By The Associated Press) New Orleans, June 2.

Supplies were being rushed today to between 300 and 400 people in the Woodside and Odenburg sections of the west bankof the Atchafalaya river, as a result of a report received at Baton Rouge, flood relief headquarters, that they have been without food for two days. The section is approximately 1 40 miles northwest of New Orleans, on the opposite side of the Mississippi, Flood waters, falling more rapi'dly in the upper Atchafalaya basin, today, were rising at the mouth of the river, at Morgan City. A naval aviator, who flew over the city, yesterday, reported that only two blocks in the city were above water. The water was dropping sharply at other places, however, and he reported that Breaux Bridge and St. Martinville were almost free of the flood and that New Iberia was emerging rapidly.

With the greatest part of the struggle to save lives over, a slow demobilization of relief forces has been started. The situation on the lower Missis sippi was unchanged, the gauge at New Orleans showing a furthef slight drop. PHILADELPHIA PRODUCE MARKET QUOTATIONS REPORTED AT NOON (By The Associated Presa.)

Even in the face of that increase, the two Wilmington members of the Levy Court stressed, thi3 morning, an increase in the tax rate will not be necessary.1 Further, It is pointed out the various county institutions have asked increased appropriations. Taxpayers this year will have ten cents less to pay in school tax, from which, however, the county gets no benefit, the school tax going to hc state. The Legislatures decreased the school tax from twenty-five cents to fifteen cents on jthe $100 asessed value of property. Another tax that will not be re quired of rural taxpayers is the dog tax. but, under a legislative bill, the State Game and Fish Commission now has jurisdiction over dogs in the rural section, being empowered to charge a license fee.

Hope For Decrease. The present county and poor tax is eighty cents on the $100 assessed value, 75 being for county purposes and five cents being the poor tax. The capitation tax is twenty-five cents and the road tax is 30 cents on the $100. The road tax, however, is re quired only of those taxpayers who do not live in Wilmington and oth er incorporated towns of the county. The Levy Court will endeavor to make a decrease in the tax rate, but the members are not in a position to say whether they will be able to accom plish that until they go over the budg et tomorrow.

Some of the many improvements that have been made by the Levy Court are shown in the last quarterly report of County Engineer Charles E. Grubb. The summary of expenditures dur ing the quarter follow: State-aid bond issue, $38.530 28: rural bridge bond issue, $45; Wash ington street bridge bond issue, county budget appropriations, hundred road accounts, total, $115,609.20. State-aid bond issue: Paid to State Highway Department, paid on sale or bonds, total, $38,530 28. Rural bridge bond issue: Paid for supervision at bridge over Muddy run, 545.

Washington street bridge bond issue: Labor in repairing bridge, $187.80 General Expenditures. General expenditures totaled 616.27, the various items including naming and application of road ma terials, replanking River Front Bridge, laying oi cement walk in Depot road, Newark; widening Newport pike, cabs for reconstructing Red Lion causeway, etc. Expenditures on material contracts amounted to $2,316,18.
