the other guests nothing transpired in

tranquility Of the gathering. About II

the act of pouring out a drink for
Thomas. the latter. 1t is alleged, drew his
revolver, took careful aim and sent q bull
let crashing through the brain Of his vic

volver and walked from the room. His

with his father. The father says the boy
was sober when he left the house to call

Outside Men Blamed.

Officials OF the Llewellyn Company are
Of the opinion that the explosion was
the outgrowth of their differences with
labor, and the police are working on
this theory. John Llewellyn, secretary Of
the company, said:
There is no doubt in my mind that
this effort TO destroy our property is due
to the fact that We are standing on our
rights to run our own business in our own
way. I do not, however, wish to be un-
derstood as intimating that the men who
were working in Los Angeles and went
out in the metal workers strike are re-
sponsible for It, 1 do not think they had
anything to do with 1t. believe It Is
the work of men who do not belong here,
who for thei- own malicious ends are
willing to commit any kind Of crime"
Labor for Peaceful Methods.
Fred c. Wheeler, president Of the Los
Angeles Labor Council. said:
The fact that the Llewellyn iron works
Is in warfare with organized labor Is
all our enemies need in order to lay this
outrage at our door. Every friend Of the
cause Of labor knows that violence In
lures our cause more than those against
whom 1t may be directed.
ITO those who would seek to fasten
upon us any responsibility for any such
crime, We of the Los Angeles Council are
able to make answer to defying any one
to point out any time In the twelaty-six
years Of our existence when We have ever
advocated other than peaceful measures
for the accomplishment of our just ends. -

Socialists Would Claim Victory.

The removal of Herr Won Jagow at the
present juncture would be claimed as q
victory for the socialists. II only for this
reason those newspapers are perhaps
right which declare that there is no
prospect of his retirement. On the other
hand, the Cologne Volkszeitung Is not q
newspaper which would make such a
statement as it does without good author
ity, and the circumstance that the center
party is a prominent factor in the pres
ent majority in the reichstag gives It an
opportunity Of knowing the views pre-
vafling In government circles.
1t also should be mentioned that sew
eral newspapers state that the police au-
thorities adopted a course of procedure
in connection with the trial Of the Moa-
bit rioters which was in full agreement
with promptings received from higher
circles

Count Reventlow admits that the agree.

Germany's Interests in Persia.
Count Reventlow writes:
1T Is quite clear that Germany has

BOMB DAMAGES WORKS.
WHERE STRIKE IS ON
Explosion in Los Angeles Yes.
terday Blamed on Men From
Outside the City.

LOS ANGELES, Cal, December 20.
Much damage was done by bomb at
o'clock yesterday morning to the Level
lyn Iron works, on North Main street,
which has been fighting strikers for
months.
The force OF the explosion at the
iron works tore out the front Of the
sma shed windows for more than
O. block and awakened persons more than
two miles away. The night Waterman
was slightly injured. A hole eighteen
inches deep and about six feet in diam
eter bears witness to the place OF it.
About seventy-fve feet Of the front Of the
main building, a three-story frame struc-
ture, was shot to pieces, and its contents
of furniture and paraphernalia were piled
In apparent ruin. The heavy ma
chinery Of the building apparently was
unchanged.

continued his dissertation, condemning
the liquor traffic and pointing to the great
damage which alcohol is doing. He point
ed out that beer has alcohol in It, as
evidenced by the light he was lecturins
by.
For ten minutes he spoke, and then the
light burned low and the lights of the
church were turned on. The clergy
man declared that he hoped his hearers
would want no stronger argument against
beer than the fact that in one pint OF 1t
he had found enough alcohol to light a
large church edif1ce for one-sixth of an
hour. He declared that the exhibition
spoke louder than any words of his could
ever do. and advised his hearers that to
sllun strong drink is ever the wise thing
for the wise man to do.

king Alcohol was indeed in the hands
of his enemies last night in one part OF
Washington. and when they had finished
with him he had disappeared. and not In
the usual way, either, fora burned re-
ceptacle lay upon a pulpit and a promi-
nent lecturer was telling large audience
what a splendid riddanee it would tie for
all the world if the dominion Of alcohol
should be finally eradicated.
BY the light of alcohol procured from
one pint Of beer a clergyman bitterly
arraigned the liquor traffic and told OF
the great damage alcoholic beverages are
doing In the world today.
Address by Field Lecturer.
The scene was the interior of the
Memorial Church of the United Brethren
at North Capitol and r streets north
west. The speaker was Rev. e. o. Tay-
ior Of Boston, field lecturer Of the Scien-
| tifc Temperance Federation Of America,
who was occupying the pulpit on the in
yitatten OF the pastor, Rev. Charles u.
Fultz.
Now my friends he declared, II
want to tell you Of the amount Of al
pint Of beer" He straishtway brought
forth the alcohol which he said had been
taken from q pint Of beer.
1t was placed in a small receptacle on
the pulpit and Immediately the lights
were flashed out. The congregation
waited. King Alcohol was being burned
at the stake
The blaze fared up and completely
lighted the large auditorium OF the edi-
nee, while the congregation looked on in
wonder. Many hardly believed that the
alcohol from one pint of beer could SO
completely light the large church interior
but In, this line their unbelief was
speedily dispelled.

HEAD OF Berlin POLICE
MAY Be TRANSFERRED

BERLIN, December Is, 1910.
The Cologne Velkszeitung, a leading
organ OF the center party, learns from a
reliable source that the position Of Herr
Won Jasew. chief Of the Berlin police, is
so seriously shaken by the trial of the
Moabit rioters that it is expected that he
he will be removed to another post on its
conclusion.
The proceedings in this trial have re-
vealed the fact that the police were I'M
fortunate in the arrests they made dur
ing the riots. for the weight Of the
evidence goes to prove that most Of the
accused were victims Of excess OF zeal
on the part Of the police, particularly the
Journalists who We're sabered. The at
tempt to prove that the riots were In
stigated and furthered by the socialist
party or by organized workmen also
seems to have failed.

philadelphia Is Making Plans for
Worlds Largest Auditorium.
Contingent upon a decision by the
courts favorable to the right of the
school authorities to float loans indie
pendently of councils, it is announced
to be the plan of the city administra-
ton to erect a great convention hall to
cost $1,000,000, and to be the most
magnificent building of the kind in
the world. This project is one of the
Greater Philadelphia plans to be
financed in this manner, the Inquirer
of that city says.
The mayors committee, it is stated,
is undecided whether to erect the ST..
100000 convention hall on concrete
arches, stretched across the Schuyl-
kill River, from Market to Chestnut
street, as recently suggested, or to
find a new site for this purpose along
the parkway.
1t Is the hope of those interested
that II the courts pass favorably upon
the legality of the school board loans
by this summer the money needed for
the Greater Philadelphia can be obtain.
ed soon afterward. If this can be done
there will be a strong possibility of
the great building being completed be.
fore the summer of 1912. This accom-
plished, the convention hall will not
only accommodate the saengerfest Of
the Northeastern Saengerbund of that
year, but will enable the city to make
bids for the Republican, and probably
the Democratic, national convention.
The immensely Of the building planned
can be estimated from the fact that
at the saengerfest stage to accommo-
date a massed chorus of at least 5000
voices is required.
In addition to caring for great meet
ings of national Importance. it is the
idea of those interested in the plans
for Greater Philadelphia to have the
building serve also as an exposition
building for articles made in this city.

When Your Meals
Disagree

It is certainly time to take immedi-
ate action if you would ward off a
serious sick spell. 1t is positive
proof of a weak stomach and de-
ranged digestion and for which you
cannot take a better medicine than
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters; but
remember this, the longer you put off
giving the assistance needed by the
digestive system the harder it is
going to be to cure you. We know
of hundreds of cases, taken in hand
at the very beginning, in which a
short course of the Bitters proved
very eficacious. Therefore, be per-
suaded to get a bottle today from
your druggist or dealer, and thus
avoid all possible danger OF a sick
spell. 1t is a wonderful tonic and
invigorant for overworked, nervous
and rundown persons, and in cases
of Poor Appetite, Bloating, Heart
burn, Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Cos
tiveness and Malaria it is the best.
