New York, Feb pa bomb ex-
ploded in the hallway of a tenement
house in East Sixty-frst street,
wrecked the first floor of the building
and badly frightened the hundred occu-
pants. most of whom are Italians.
Clouds of dust that rolled up the stair
ways were mistaken for smoke by the
excited tenants, and a rough scramble
for the exits followed. Before order
could be restored it was necessary to
use fire ladders to remove from the
upper windows women and children
who were determined to quit the build
ing. but were afraid to trust the stairs.
No clue TO the bomb-thrower was
discovered. One of the owners of the
tenement is Joseph BOzzfH, a banker
whose son was kidnapped three months
ago and a few weeks later returned to

Judge Inclined To Be Liberal

Jerome by a simple question opened
the way for the Introduction Of testi-
mony tending to show the truth or fall
sity of Mrs. Thaw's story. He asked
the witness: WAS the story you told
Mr.. Thaw true?' 1T was" she replied
firmly. Delmas objected strongly to
the question, but Justice Fitzgerald
held it to be competent as tending to
show the credibility of the witness.
The judge seems inclined to be very
liberal as to this point of credibility.
He allowed Jerome to bring from Mrs.

Thaw who took the witness stand dur

Summer pruning is very Important
especially to old trees that are IN
vigorous condition. Uusually the oio
tree does not give an oversupply OF
vitality and while it may present
vigorous appearance 1t will not have
enough vitality to mature a growth
of leaves, new shoots, and develop
fruit. Since the new shoots Will re-
ceiye attention before the fruit, they
will suffer If a systematic pruning
is not practiced. Summer pruning
should be begun the first week In July

not possess fruit should be cut on
