each other, and is as follows
owing to unhappy differences be-

day executed a deed Of separation.
While making such announcement, we
wish to assert with all possible en-
phasis the falsity of the scandalouS re-
ports which have lately appeared in
the public prints. While there has
been series of differences and dis
putes which seem TO make q separation
advisable, there has been 10 conduct
upon the part Of either which could
possibly be the foundation OF divorce
action. No question OF the infiielity
( of either to the other has ever been
raised Statements which have charg-
ed violent and disgraceful scenes be
tween us are absolutely false

no member of the Platt family would

What provisions had been made by the

IN CROWDED CAFE.
ratrons Stampede in Panic Wher
Bomb Is Exploded in Front.

Rome, Nov. IA bomb was exploded
in front of the Cafe Araeno in the cen.
ter OF the city today. The fashionable
tnfo?SS at the cafe were thrown into
confusion and one man was seriously
wounded. The perpetrator of the deed
was not apprehended
Inc people in and about the cafe were
panic stricken. They made frantic eff
1orts to escape in the fear that the cell
irgs and walls of the cafe were about to
collarse and tables and chairs were over
thrown IN the mad scramble to get away
Women screamed and tainted. The large
plate glass windows of the cafe were
shattered.
In speaking of the explosion one of
| those present said he saw a young man
| about % years old come into the cafe
and take scat at table outside. He
| carried handbag, which was partially
| concealed by light overcOat on his arm.
He deposited the handbag and his coat
/ on a chair at his side and ordered some
| thing to drink. Before the waiter served
| him the young man suddenly arose and.
| saying audibly Il have forgotten some
| thing" he hurried away, leaving his
handbag and overcoat behind. This sud
denly leaving caused suspicion and 4
| young man who had been sitting near
| the stranger sprang to his feet and cried
bomb, bomb" This warning, however,
| came too late to give the crowd time II
get away. for the explosion came on the
| heels of his last word. The ncishborhood
| of the cafe was Immediately occupied by
| police. The wounded mans name is
| Guido Moroni, who returned here two
| weeks ago from New York. He was
| taken to a hospital and probably will bf
| all right in a few weeks.
