Bombs Exploded-Others Found-Ar-
rests of Anarchists.
Paris, Oct. 17.-Paris is practically
under martial law today, the numer-
Gus bomb outrages OF the past few
days having excited the government
to degree that has not been manifest
for a long while.
A proposed demonstration OF the
striking railroad men in the Bots de
Vincennes has been forbidden by
Premier BRAND, who declared that
the proposed meeting was illegal in
that it was defiance OF the govern
ment's attitude towards the railroad
situation. BRAND added that he would
use rigorous methods to prevent the
meeting, il necessary.
A bomb was exploded in the Ternes
quarter, injuring street cleaner.
Twenty anarchists we're arrested. A
terrible bomb, unexploded, was found
this afternoon in Vincennes. In the

paper, the police arrested a printer
who had in his possession a bomb
similar to the ones exploded a few
days ago in the Rue de Berri.
The French socialist press is severe
in its criticism of BRAND, who before
becoming popular in politics was the
editor OF socialist newspaper, fact
the premier likes TO forget. Rumors Of
BRAND being shot are common.

ALEXANDRIA, VA.
MONDAY EVENING, OCT. IL

II. S. SENATOR JONATHAN PRENTIss
Dor1IyER died from Utilization of the
heart at his home in Fort Dodge, Iowa,
on Saturday night. His death was un-
expected by his relatives and close
friends. who thought that he had al
most recovered from the attack of IN
digestion with which he had been sui
ferine for week. Mr.. Dolliver, SIX
times elected TO the House OF Repre-
sentatiyes and three times made mem
Der OF the United States Senate, was
one OF the best known orators IN the
national Congress and latterly among
the most active insurgents in the re-
publican party. He was a Virglnian
by birth, having been born in Preston
county, now West Virginia, in 1888.
Senator Deliver, from his position IN
the vanguard OF insurgents, was ac-
claimed by progressives throughout the
country, while he was denounced by
special interests. While he had long
been a powerful figure in Washington,
where word that he was to speak was
sufficient TO fill the Senate galleries, 1t
was last June that he made the most
remarkable speech Of his career. He
dashed President Taft and Senator AL
drich as trading offices for votes, and
declared the tariff law deliberate rob-
berry. Sincere regret will be felt
throughout the country because OF his
death. His statesmanlike stand on
the important questions OF the day
raised high expectations Of his future
usefulness to a country that is in sore
need of the service of fearless and able
men.

THE EPIsCOPALiANS.

By a single vote the question OF
changing the name Of the Episcopal
Church was lost in the house OF de-
puties OF the general convention in
Cincinnati on Saturday. The vote by
diocesses follows: Clericals-Aye, AZ,
noes, Is; divided, 10. Lay-Aye, 81;
noes, "a; divided, 8.
AS there were sixty-three do
ceses represented in the convention by
lay delegations. it required the affirma-
tive vote OF thirty-two Of them to make
the change. The clergy gave the re-
quired majority, but the lay deputies
we're one vote short OF enough, so the
resolution was lost by inconvenience
Of orders.
A similar fate by exactly the same
margin of one vote defeated the pro-
posal at the general convention at
Richmond, three years ago.
The question OF changing the name
Of the church by dropping the word
Protestant" and adding the title OF
Holy Catholic Church" to the title
page Of the Book OF Common Prayer
was the most momentous question con-
sidered so far by the present conyen-
ton.
Encouraged by the closeness OF the
vote, the leading advocates OF change
OF name asserted they would use all
their influence between now and the
time OF electing deputies to the next
general convention in the effort TO no.
sspcll:. deputies chosen as we1e favorable
to the change.
The Rev. Carl K. Grammer, rector
of St. Stephens Church, Philadelphia,
was the first speaker yesterday in
opposition to the change.
mo scholar with any respect for his
scholarship nor any student who has
respect for his language could favor
the name proposed" he said. 1t
would put us in a ludicrous position
from which he would be obliged to
recede, if we advertised ourselves as
being that part OF the Holy Catholic
Church known as the Episcopal
Church. 1t would seem to foreigners
as though we were travelling under an
alias"
Mr.. Grammer declared that the
prayerbook was the Episcopal Church s
own, not that Of the Catholic Church,
and should not be labeled as such.
There is no question" he said,
OF the professionalism of the Metho-
dists or the Baptists, and they do not
need to use the name Protestant in
their titles. But there are some in our
church whose Professionalism is not
greatly manifested, and we need the
word. Anyway, the name Protestant
Episcopal ought to suit every one, for
those who don't like one part of it can
certainly be suited with the other.
A distinct victory for the advocates
OF separate bishops for the churches
was won in the committee on constitu-
tional amendments, which reported
iavorably the proposed amendment
for mission districts on racial
lines, provided the bishop and con-
vention OF the diocese affected give
permission.
New York has been selected as the
place OF meeting for the next general
convention in 1913.

age, but no casualties resulted. &C.

A bomb was exploded yesterday in
a street in the Ternes quarter, iniuring
a street cleaner. The police raided

nights ago in the Rue de Berri in the
possession Of one OF the printers. Sew
eral arrests we're made.
An exceptionally deadly bomb was
found in Yincennes yesterday after
noon and conveyed to laboratory.
The union railroad men yesterday
asked Premier BRAND to authorize the
holding OF big manifestation today
in the Bots de Vincennes. The pre-
mier refused, declaring that such man
Hesitation would be illegal, as it was
organized as defiance to the govern
ment in the evident hope that the
strike would not terminate without
disorder. The strictest measures have
been taken to prevent any attempt TO
hold this demonstration.

Somewhere east OF Nantucket Island,
off the coast OF Massachusetts, and APP
proximately 800 miles from Atlantic

lisaylisI,o,ijf.ifUL MURDERERs.

Paris has been startled by murder
carefully premeditated and carried out
by two youths of 16 and II following
a recent murder in Paris committed by
boy OF IA.
In the latest example Of juvenile
criminality Paul Desmarest, aged 10,
drew bill on his friend, George Tiss-
Ter, aged II, on September Is, payable
on September 80, and requested bank
to collect it. Three weeks before they
had drawn a similar bill in order to
study the method Of collection and
found that the bank sent messenger
to the apartment to collect the money
due. They did not attack the messen-
ger on this first occasion because they
preferred to wait till the end Of the
month, when they counted on mes
senger having more money on him.
About IL a. M, Friday morning, a
bank messenger came TO the room oc-
cupied by Tissler's mother to collect
the second bill. The two boys were
there alone. They fell on the man,
one with knife, the other with ham
mer, murdered him and secured 1929 60
which he had in his wallet. Then
they squandered the money, aud when
arrested on Sunday morning only
$269. 40 remained in their possession.
After their arrest they made COM
plete confession. They imagined that
as they are under IS the worst that the
law could do to them would be to keep
them in a house OF correction until
they we're 81. In this supposition they
are mistaken.
