FORTY BOMBS
AROUSE PARIS
TROOPS ARE PLACED AT GRAND
PALACE
Strike Situation Thought by Citizens
to Be Aarming-Many Minor
ARRAYS Occur During
the Day

BY Associated Press.
PARIS, April 25.-The strike situa-
ton has improved before the govern
ment's military and police preparations
to crush disorder, and public uneasi-
ness has been considerably relieved.
Alarmist reports, however, continue
to circulate concerning what may pos
sibly happen May 1.
One report says that Spanish and
Swiss anarchists have succeeded in
bringing forty bombs into Paris.
The police are exercising order there
with vigilance and are shadowing the
chief agitators and watching the CEN
ters of disorder.
The military precautions include sta
tioning 1000 troops in the basement of
the Grand palace. The infantry and
cavalry are also strongly posted at
other important centers.
Government Aroused
The government appears to be fully
aroused to the necessity for adequate
preparations. Frequent conferences
are being held between President Fal-
Heres, Premier Sarrien, Interior Minis
ter Clemenceau and the military police
chiefs. M. Fallieres during the day
also received reports of the great iron,
steel, mining and spinning industries.
The strikers are comparatively quiet
before the overawing force Of troops
and police.

Speech on the Literature of the
Farm Contributed by Mr.. Dawson.

Washington, April 25.-The ears Of
the farmer must have burned today
because Of the eulOgies and tributes to
his untiring energy, his devotion and
his patriotism, which were paid him
by members of the house during the
consideration of the agricultural ap-
preparation bill.
| Next to the achievements of the
American farmer, the American hen
came i'll for unstinted praise for her
industry, and her usefulness, her cham
pion being Mr.. Dawson, of Iowa, who
contributed thoughtful speech on he
literature Of the farm
| The Presidents message recon-
mending an appropriation of $500, 600
for the Mare Island navy yard was
read and referred to the committee on
appropriations.
Without reaching an agreement as
| to the limit of general debate On the
agricultural bill, it went over until
tomorrow, the features of the bill not
being touched upon.
Mr.. Lever, of South Carolina, class
| ed the farmer as the great conserva-
tive force in American politics. He
said the government expenditure per
capita Of agricultural population for
the republic Of France amounts to 81
cents; for Austria So cents; Hungary
| 80 cents, and for the United States,
which owes more to it's agriculture
than any Of these nations, the ex-
peuditure is 16 cents. The per capita
tax for agricultural purposes for the
United States is about seven cents.
Mr.. Lever made a strong plea for
larger agricultural appropriations and
less for the army and navy.
Mr.. Gaines, of Tennessee, came For.
ward as defender of free seeds. He
arraigned the millionaire grower of
seeds, being responsible for the failure
Of the bill under consideration to carry
an appropriation for free seeds. He
said that there was a good deal of
dairy money in the bill, the chairman
of the committee on agriculture, Mr..
Wadsworth. being a large dairy farm
er. But he said "Onion seed money"
and lettuce money was remarkable
by it's absence He said there was a
trust" in everything the farmer uses
except free seeds, and he called on

Mr. Grosvenor, of Ohio, delivered a
two-hour speech on ship subsidies,
saying that not a keel had been laid
in an American shipyard for an Amer
lean ocean going ship in the past IS
months.
Suppose we had a war; said Mr..
Grosvenor, cor suppose we had no war,
but England and France had, what
would become of the commerce of the
United States?" he asked
'It would absolutely be placed az the
mercy of these two countries, for 80
per cent. of commerce of the United
States is carried in foreign bottoms.
No nation can attain to commercial
supremacy unless its commerce is car
ried in its own bottoms and under its
own flag"

A. c. L. TRESTLE BURNED
Caused Delay to Several Trains-Des-
Derate Character Taken.
Especial to The Messenger J


Goldsboro, N. c., April 25.-The high
sheriffs of Jones and Duplin counties
met in this city today by appointment
and were the guests of Sheriff Stevens.
Sheriff Taylor, of Jones, came here to
bring prisoner in the person of Ned
Thigpen, who was wanted in Duplin
county, by Sheriff Middleton. 1t seems
that Thigpen has been giving the au-
thorities of Duplin right much trouble
by blockading and retailing whiskey.
His field of operation was in the lower
part OF the county around Chinquapin.
1t is claimed that he had been doing
quite an extensive business along the
public roads and in places where his
numerous patrons knew where to finG
him. The officers have been on his
trail for some time, but he had man
aged to elude their vigilance in every
instance. He had taken refuge in
Jones county, where he thought he was
safe, and ventured to be more bold in
his coming and going. His arrest and
confinement in Jail will it is thought
put a stop to the wholesale violations
of the prohibition law in Duplin coun-
ty. Sheriff Middleton decided to leave
his prisoner in jail here. with Sheriff
Stevens, because the Jail in Kenansville
is not considered SO very safe and be-
cause the prisoner is known to be a
desperate character.
A woods fire destroyed portion Of
the trestle over the low grounds ad-
joining Neuse river this morning, and
trains were delayed in both directions
for five or six hours. The train IL
bound for Wilmington, which arrived
here at Z o'clock this morning, stood on
the side track here until IL o'clock to-
day. This was the only passenger that
was delayed, but there were several
freights. 1t is thought that train
passing during the night set fire to the
dry grass in the swamp and caused the

THINK PTOMA|NES
CAUSED SICKNESS
Milk or Eggs Used in Cakes Partaken
by the Curtis Family Probably
Caused Serious Trouble
for All Concerned

The health department has ordered
an analysis made of the cookies that
caused the serious illness of Mrs. F.
w. Curtis and her two children of 433
South Fremont avenue.
Just before school time Monday Mrs.
Curtis bought cookies from a bakery
on West Third street, she says, and
they partook of them. All three were
seized with pains almost simultan-
eously and but for the presence of
mind of 1S-year-old Bessie Curtis, who
administered home remedies and tele-
phoned for a doctor, they might have
died.
My theory from the symptoms is
that the three suffered from ptomalne
poisoning" said Acting Health Officer
Garcelon yesterday.
Possibly the milk or the eggs used
in the cakes had become spoiled or
unfit for use.
I'VE will know perhaps today what
the nature of the poison is, but 1 am
satisfied so far that it was not chem
ical poison"

LUCKY RAILWAY WORKERS

The most momentous event in the his
tory of relations between capital and
labor Is forecast by the leading Ameri-
can railway companies 1t Is a volun-
tary increase Of 10 per cent in the wages
of all emplo-es. Several of the com
panies have officially announced the
advance already, and It Is understood
that all the rest will follow before the
beginning of the new year.
There are about 100000 railway em-
ployes in the United states. It is esti-
mated that an increase of 10 per cent
I'm the total of wages will call for SS5,-
100000 per year in advance of the pres
ent aggregate. That addition will make
the stupendous sum of nearly S1,000,-
900 900 to be divided next year among
American railway workers in wages.
The managers of the -annsylvania
railway system, the greatest in the
world, set the example for this
unparalleled act. In the an
nouncement they state that the
increased cost of living calls for an
advance in wages of railway employees
and that the prosperity of the company
justlfes the advance They also call
attention to the indications of contin-
ued prosperity throughout the United
States and to the bright outlook for all
industrial interests.
1t would not be fair to question the
motive which led to this voluntary Of
tn f, rnfI Of 10 20
in the profits of the companies. Wheth-
er the likelihood of demands for higher
wages was an incentive is immaterial,
so far as the practical result is con-
| cerned. Even if the purpose was to
| forestall suspected demands, it will at
least avert the danger of strikes, with
their attendant horrors.
This act of the railway companies
may have an important bearing beyond
even the broad field of transportation.
1t suggests the inquiry, Why might not
the example of the railway companies
! be followed by large employers in other
lines of industry? The great manufac-
| turing concerns of the United States,
which generally are quite as prosperous
as the railway companies, might make
similar concessions to their workers
and yet pay fat dividends to their stock
holders
And there is no reason why it would
not be good policy. as we'll as a just
and generous method, to make a sliding
scale of wages in all industries whereby
employers and employees should share
alike, relatively, in times of prosperity
and of adversely as well.

WORRIES
FOREIGN DIPLOMATS
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
ST. PETERSBURG, Nov 2O.-The
situation i'm Macedonia Is the subject
of serious discussion in high diplomatic
circles.
The impression prevails that the con-
tinuance of outrages, misgovernment
and perpetual conflicts between Greeks
and Bulgarian bands has shown the
utter inadequacy of the present inter-
national arrangement to restore order
i'm that part of the Turkish Empire.
Reforms i'm the organization of che
International gendarmerie will soon be
promulgated and the powers will next
undertake the reorganization of the
Judiciary but the diplomats are con-
vinced In advance that these measures
VIII be unavailing and that It will be
necessary to seek some other solution
of the problem however serious the
consequences that this will entail.
1t is understood that the visits of
the Austro- Hungarian foreign minister
to St Petersburg and Berlin and mis-
conference with the King of Greece at
Vienna were largely devoted to con-
sideration of the Balkan question.
