ATTEMPT IS MADE TO
BLOW UP JURIST'S HOME
Judge Owens Has Waged Relentless
War On Gamblers Of
Chicago.

CHICAGO, Jan. 11.-What il said
by the police to have been a desper-
ate attempt to blow up the home of
County Judge John E. Owens, at 1896
Warren-ave., was frustrated today by
heavy rainfall which put out the
fuse of heavily charged bomb that
had been laid before owens home.
The bomb was discovered by Judge
Owens sister, who lives with him.
The bomb was wrapped in a news
paper. Ii was a piece OF lead pipe,
eight inches long. A half-burned fuse,
extinguished by the rain, showed
that the bomb had actually been
lighted.
The bomb was delivered to Capt.
Cudmore OF the police department
who declared it was loaded with al
ternate layers of giant powder and
cotton, so tightly packed as to have
caused violent explosion had the
fire reached the powder.
Judge Owens is a Democrat. who,
since he has been on the bench, has
been waging war on the Democratic
machine, especially on election
frauds and repeating" He has been
open in his charges that he would
break up gambling in Chicago and It
is charged by the police that the
bomb is another plot In the famous
gambling war. 44Hfsst.a -f-s .tsse

Attorneys for Prosecution Draw
Points From Medical Expert on
Her Husbands Illness. .

WHEELING. w. Va, Jan. IL
From DR.. Frank LeMoyne Hupp, tho
states chief medical expert IN the
Schenk poisoning case, the defense
today drew these points:
That Mrs. Schenk was the first TO
suggest a nurse for her mysteriously
afflicted husband.
That Mrs. Schenk was i'll, presum-
ably as the result of fatigue from
constant care OF her husband.
That one medicine prescribed by
DR.. Hupp contained lead and arsenic
and that In the six days previous to
removing Schenk to the hospital near
ly one grain of arsenic was admin
islered in regular doses.
When court adjourned for the noon
recess, DIR. Hupp was still on the
stand and Attorney J. ]. p. O'Brien,
conducting the cross-examination.
said: Il haven't started in on him
yet, believe me-"
The prisoner was obviously pleas
ed with the progress of the examina-
ton. For the first time since the
tria. started she was In a cheerful
humor when she followed the deputy
sheriff TO the Bridge of Sighs," con-
Meeting the courtroom with the Jail.
O'Brien spent much Of the time
bringing out the fact that many com
monty used medicines contain a solu-
tion of arsenic and that the symp-
toms of lead poisoning, such as
Schenk showed, might have come
from other sources.

referendum vote of its membership
on the question OF changing the citys
time from central standard to eastern

One OF the few protests comes from
George H. Barbour, of the Michigan
Stove Co.
The railr ads, It Is said are all In
favor of Eastern standard, provided
the state adopts II. This would en-
able them to use one time between
their two great terminal points, New
York and Chicago In that event, the
change to'central standard time would
occur at Chicago instead Of Detroit,
as at present.
The More Daylight club feels great
