BOMBS IN THE NAILS
Chattanooga Has Sensation of a
Dynamite Character.
YOUNG MAN RECEIVES THE MACHINE.
Electric Car Conductor suspected. Who
Devised the Means to Guard n Guilty
Secret Known Only by the
Young Recipient.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, April e0.-An
Internal machine of the worst type
came in the mail yesterday to William
Marquet. young tailor's apprentice.
A string was employed to set off its
deadly contents. BY chance the string
was insecurely fastened to the sliding
lid of the box and coming loose only a
big fright was produced. The box,
which was marked s'dominoes." was
charged with enough loose dynamite to
destroy big building, while a dyna-
mite cartridge was buried therein. A
fuse and match head led up to the car
fridge, against the match rested n
wooden block, and this was to be
driven against the match by small
steel trigger held in its place by a
piece of wood also connected by a
string to the sliding lid The opening
of the cover was to light the match.
The postoffice inspectors of the govern
ment and the local detectives are work
ing on the case. Suspicion rests on a
we'll known electric railway conductor
whose alleged intimacy with very
pretty young lady of excellent family
the boy had discovered. It is thought
to guard his guilty secret he devised
this means of putting the boy out of
the way. The box was postmarked
Ridgedale, which is a suburb reached
by the car line on which the conductor
runs. Investigation may develop an
immense social sensation.

HEARING ON THE INCOME TAX.
Case Not Likely to be Reopened Before the
Fall Term of the Supreme Court.


WASHINGTON, April 20--There seems
to be no chance for a rehearing in the
income tax case this term, although it
is reported from Nashville, Tenn, that
Justice jackson is anxious to come to
Washington if the court grants re-
hearing before it adiourns next month.
While the justice himself may think he
is able to make the journey, private adj
vices from his home at Nashville state
that his doctors would not listen to his
coming north before next October
The opinion in the supreme court CIR
cles is the court could not possibly grant
a rehearing this term, because 1t Is at
present so busy with cases that are set
for hearing that they would not be able
to reach the income tax and give 1t
sufficient time before the regular adj
journment about the middle of May
1t is understood that the chief justice
has informed Justice jackson of the
situation. and it is accepted here that
there will not be full bench before
the fall term.
