Power Dam For James River

Washington, March.-Senator
Stone Thursday introduced in the
Senate the James River bill which
was defeated last winter by Presi-
dent Roosevelt's veto and which
grants water power concession in
Stone County, Missouri.
W. H. Standish wishes a concession
to dam the James River to create
power for use In Southwest Missouri
cities.
Senator Stone obtained the prom
ise OF Third Assistant Postmaster
General Lawshe to readmit The Mis-
souri, Farmer and Breeder, published
at Columbia, NO., to the second class
mail privileges. The publication was
denied the publishers rate because
500 copies OF one issue were taken
by A. Prudential, a merchant at
Columbia, who circulated them. This
caused the Post Office Department
officials to decide the paper was put
out for advertising purposes only.
Senator Stone contended 1t Is a
legitimate magazine and induced the
Post. Office Department to take this
view, 30 that upon making a new sp.
plicstion 1t will again be given entry

Bombs Meant For King Found.

Rome, March. The accidental dis
covery OF two bombs hidden In the
Aurelian wall, near the Porta San
Lorenzo, is reported to have brought
to light an anarchist plot to kill
King Victor Emmanuel, on the occs-
sion OF the opening Of Parliament.
In appearance, the bombs are like
the counterweight used In balancing
heavy hanging lamps. They we're
loaded with dynamite.
The police, in Investigating the at.
fair, found q handkerchief, In which
gunpowder and nails were tied, near
the spot at which the bombs had
been found.
Later il was learned that two men
were injured, and that they have
been held as suspects. One OF them
Isle years old.
The bomb that burst was loaded
with a high explosive. 1t had a
metal shell and was fitted with per.
cussion caps and fuse. Artillery ex'
perts are OF the opoinion that either

the opening Of the trial OF Avery

OF all came from the bench, when
Judge Ellis attempted 30 bride the
press Of the State and country By
failing all correspondents II they sent
out the testimony Of witnesses in the
Blount trial.
The court ruled that this drastic
step was necessary In order not to
prejudice the minds Of Tangipahoa
people who might be called upon TO
perform jury service In the Garfield
Kinchen trial and eight others, be.
lieved to be implicated In the desper.
ate crime.
At the opening oicourt Judge Ellis
issued his peremptory orders against
the press.

man who breaks this order" declar-
ed the court.

WESLEYS LIFE.
Diaries Found Which Give
New Light.

London, Oct 8-Recent discoveries
will involve the rewriting of John
Wesley's life. The Rev. Nehemiah
CurnOck some time ago unearthed a
large number of diaries in Wesley's
handwriting, but written in three ways,
obsolete shorthand, curiously ao-
breviated longhand. and an extraordi-
nary cipher of which no one had a
key.
Mr. Curnock says the diaries he de-
ciphered throw new light upon Wes-
ley's historic love affair in Georgia and
the quarrel with Governor Oglethorpe
which followed There is reason to
believe that the exquisitely beautiful
account Of the matter left by Wesley
was written for his mother.
