GETS A FEW BRUISES
Young Moorman Lamb Kept
Presence of Mind and
Rolls Under the Car.

AS Norman, the nine-year-old son
of Mr. and Mrs. Galen Lamb, 1888
Main street. rode his wheel down the
driveway of their home onto Main
street Sunday morning, he lost control
of the bicycle and was struck by a
heavy touring car driven by A. Ad-
ans of indianapolis, and dragged
twenty or more feet before the ma
chine could be stopped. He was not
seriously hurt.
His mother who was sitting at one
of the front windows, was a witness
to the accident. and SO certain was
she that he was seriously hurt that
she swooned. The boys escape was
miraculous and largely due to his own
presence of mind. His worst injury
was a painful bruise on the knee and
others about the body of less SER
ious nature
The boy crawled from under the
machine and was assisted to his home
by eye witnesses to the accident. The
condition of Mrs. Lamb was such as
to require. the attention of a physi-
clan. While still in a nervous con-
dition Monday, she was much i'm
proved and her sons injuries have
developed into nothing more serious
than bruises
A Miraculous Escape.
A. c. Adams and party were en-
route east but after the accident re-
manned in the city and visited the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Lamb several
times during the day. They consid-
cred the accident fortunate and the
boys escape most miraculous.

city had mounted his wheel on the
cement driveway. In crossing the
sidewalk, he noticed the approaching
machine and attempted TO stop, but
his coasterbrake broke and he could
not turn quickly enough TO avoid be-

pavement and displaying wonderful
presence of mind succeeded in get
ting between the wheels of the heavy
car. but his shoe caught in the brake
and he was dragged until the car
could be stopped, possibly a distance
of twenty feet. Several. including the
members of the automobile party has

BURNS is CONFIDENT.

Tiffin, O., April 24.--Detectiye w. ].
Burns who alleges he has solved the
mystery of the blowing UP of the
Times building in Los Angeles, by the
arrest of John j. Mcnamara, James
w. Mcnamara, Ortie McManigal and
two other men declared today that the
reign of terror under which building
contractors have lived for months, Is
at an end.
Burns raided the home of McMani-
gal here and found stored in secret
compartment in a shed 400 pounds of
dynamite. The house is in the heart
of the city. There was enough dyna-
mite in the storeroom to blow UP al
most every house in this city.
| The dynamite was in a rough wood
en- box and was found by the direction
of McManigal who confessed to
Zurns.

Il have only scratched the surface
of this case," declared Burns. This
country will be startled when the
| whole story becomes public. We are
sure of our ground. Everything has
been thought out beforehand and am
confident no false move will be made.
OF course some of the dynamite
which we have located may be moved
but those fellows will have to act
quickly.
Il believe the reign of terror under
which contractors have been living for
the last Eve years is at an end. We
feel confident that the men now on
their way to Los Angeles are the ones
who have perpetrated all the labor
bomb outrages."

details of the case were worked out.

THINGS LOOK PRETTY
BAD" SAYS DUCKETT
tcontinued from Page one1


about these attacks on women
Ducketts hand trembled so that he
dropped a cigarette which he was
rolling. He was locked up on suspi-
cion, and the identifcations which
followed lead the police to believe
that they have a sure case on him.
Duckett has a wife and 10 months
old son, at No. AIS Warren-ave. east,
where he lives with his mother-in-law.
Mrs. Dubie. His wife and her mother
were not at home. Saturday morning;

Duckett worked as Waterman, he re-
turned home and told of a strange
man, who looked somewhat like him,

ance with him. The man tried to
buy him drink, she says Duckett
told her, and he studied buckets

man may have made up to look like
Duckett.
Duckett says that he has worked as
a tin-plate worker in the American
Car and Foundry Co, the Packard
Co., the American Bridge
Co., and elsewhere. Lately he work
ed in the wood department OF the

China Is Casting off
ShackLes of DespOhsm
BY NELSON A. MILES.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, u. S. Army.
In some respects, China was to me
the most interesting country | have
ever had the pleasure of visiting. In
their ancient civilization we find much
that we could adopt with benefit, and
still more that has been obsolete for
centuries.
Ages ago China passed through
some of the experiences that now in
terest or agitate our people. The con-
troversies between capital and labor
and the unequal distribution OF wealth
were problems In which they were
concerned thousands of years ago. AS
a race they have encouraged indus
try, art, science and literature. Com
pared with some other people, their
integrity has been proverbial.
Ii was my good fortune, in 1902, to
have the opportunity of seeing the
different sections OF China, as we'll as
visiting the principal cities of Hong
Kong. Canton, Tsiensin, Pekin and
other important places. A marked
contrast is noticeable between that
and our country.
Multiplied Labor Methods.
We have endeavored to economic
labor in every way, whereas their
dense population has obliged them to
multiply labor by various methods
The locomotive has been an engine
OF civilization in our country, and the
absence of II has been the greatest
embarrassment of China. Our rail
roads have enabled us TO utilize our
great resources, while those of China
have remained dormant for centuries,
and her people have been compelled
to depend upon their navigable rivers
caravans and coolies for their trans.
portatioI
During my sojourn in that country
nine years ago, found the leading
men greatly exercised concerning the
threatened ACKNOWLEDGMENT of their
country. Ostensibly for the purpose OF
obtaining spheres of commercial in
flucnce, Great Britain. France, Ger.
many, Russia and apan had all ac-
quired control of certain portions of
Chinese territory. and 1; seemed only
a question of time when their nation
would disappear from the map of the
world
China owes her existence today
partly 10 the fact that two OF the ag
gressive powers became involved in
war over a certain portion Of her ter

To realize how far the absorption
OF that country had extended. one
needed only TO visit Hong Kong and
see the formidable fertilization de.
