PARIS, Dec "a dynamite bomb
was exploded in the chamber of depu-
ties today.
The explosion occurred this afternoon
when the chamber was in session, but
as the proceedings were not very inter
esting the galleries were not crowded.
Suddenly from the right gallery some
sort OF bomb was thrown, exploding
in the midst of the deputies and caus-
ing a scene of the greatest confusion
and panic.
When quiet was somewhat restored it
was discovered that nobody had been
killed. Depuy called the chamber to
order. Part Of the deputies obeyed the
summons. Depuv rose and said as
calmly as if nothing had happened:
"Such attempts should not disconcert
the chamber. I invite you to continue
your discussion with calmness. When
the order of the day has been dealt with
| Prolonged cheers.
When the cheering had subsided
Casimir- Perler added: ''And the goy-i
ernment will visit the attempt with the
most severe penalties" Prolonged
cheering
Depuy associated himself with CAST
mir-Perier's words and amid renewed
cheering the chamber adjourned. The
courageous president of the chamber,
who was deeply moved by the mani
festation, sympathy and appreciation
of his courage, retired from the cham
Der as quickly as he could after ad-
journment. The project of police, the
procurator of the repdblic and the
procurstor-general hurried to the cham
Der as soon as they were notified of the
outrage and at D. m, all entrances to
the Palais Bourbon were guarded by
gen d'armes and but few spectators re-
manned in the vicinity.
The police now admit that the con-
tents of the bomb were spread all over
the tribune and cham ber and that had
it exploded on the floor instead of in
the gallery, or more correctly speaking,
as it was falling from the gallery, the
number of victims would have been
very large.
In view of the description given by an
officer, of the man who threw the bomb,
the police are keeping q special watch
over all who have been injured. 1t is
believed that though the man may
have worn light beard when he threw
the bomb, it is quite probable that he
may have thrown it off during the ex-
element which followed the explosion.
The Associated Press cores pondent
recognized the Able Lemire, covered
with blood and lying on mattress sup
piled from the soldiers quarters. On
a chair in the same room was lieu
tenant of infantry who had two fingers
of his right hand fractured. Eight or
ten other wounded people were found
around a table in the second bureau
where their wounds were being bathed
and dressed. Nearly all the wounds
were on the face, chest or leg. In this
bureau the most serious case was a
lady suffering from a fracture of the
knee cap.
The correspondent found an elegantly
dressed Austrian lady in the telephone
room badly wounded about the head,
from which blood was running freely
Col. Hasuret of the Roumanian army,
who was in his chamber when the bomt

The Senior Questor of the chamber this
evening is on guard at the door leading
to the Palais Bourbon and permits dep
