MANIAC RoUTs Los AN. POLICE
Armed With Dynamite and a Gun He
Entered Central Station and
Threatened All.

Los Angeles, Cal.-Armed with an
Internal machine containing enough
dynamite to destroy an entire city
block, bottle of nitro-glycerine and a
45-caliber revolver, a masked maniac
took possession of the central police
station and held 1t for more than an
hour Tuesday, while the hundreds of
occupants of the building and those
for blocks around, panic stricken,
sought the safety of distance.
When Detective James Hosic1
knocked the man unconscious with a
leather billy, after slipping behind
him, the fuse of the internal machine
was automatically ignited and without
thinking Of the consequences Detec-
tive Samuel l.. Brown carried the box
outside, the fuse spluttering and spit
ting sparks, and hurled il into the
street
Deadly Sticks Scatter.
Sticks of high power dynamite scat
tered over the pavement, while hun
dreds of spectators stood, apparently
paralyzed by fright. awaiting the de-
donation that would send them into
eternity. Through a freak of chance
there was no explosion, and Browne
continued kicking the sticks of dyna-
mite and jumping upon the fuse until
he had broken the connections and
extiguished the fire.
Lying manacled to a cot in the re-
ceiving hospital tonight the would-be
dynamiter, who gave his name as AL
bert Henry Davis. is suffering from
several severe scalp wounds, but the
police surgeons say that his injuries
are not serious.

BRIDGE OR BABIES - WHIcHY
Women Must Give Up One or the 9th
err, Says Actor John Drew.

Pittsburg, Pa.-"Women must give
up either bridge or babies; the two
are incompatible" declared John Drew,
who is appearing here this week.
"A woman can not devote herself to
bridge playing and at the same time
perform her maternal duties" says
Drew.
Bridge certainly is the cause of
race suicide. And it has become so
serious that it can't be ignored any
longer. In England the bridge craze
has become so violent, they tell me, it
is actually hurting business of the the
aters. There are many people who
would rather play bridge than eat.
80 it takes no great stretch of i'm
agination to think of women preferring
bridge to babies. For you know ba-
bies take time and attention and wo-
man can not devote her time to bridge
playing and still perform her maternal
duties"

IDAHO PRODUCES VAST CROP
Report for 1912 Compiled by State or
fetal Shows 100000
Bushels.

d. w. Greenburg, chairman of the
Idaho state grain commission, has
completed report of the 1912 grain
crop.
The report shows total of 2S,O0O,-
coo bushels. The southern and eastern
counties share is placed at 100000
bushels, and the six northern counties,

bushels.
In the northern counties a decrease
in the yield under 1911 is estimated at
about 20 per cent, while material in
crease has been evidenced in the
southern counties, owing to the ex-
tensive cultivation of newly opened
areas to dry farming in Fremont coun-
ty. The irrigation projects and the
dry farming areas in Bear Lake, Cas-
STA, Oneida, Twin Falls, Lincoln,
Blaine and Bannock counties have aug
mented the yield to a great extent.
The south and east produced $780,
900 bushels of wheat, 100000 bushels
of oats and 100000 bushels of barley.
Divided into counties the north pro-
duced bushels as follows:
Nez Perce-Wheat, $4,000; oats,
100000; barley, $4,000.
Latah-Wheat, 1,750,O00; oats, $780,

Idaho's New Senator.

Boise, Idaho.-Governor James H.
Hawley decided at the last moment
Saturday not to resign his office to
accept the appointment as United
States senator at the hands of Lieu
tenant Governor Sweetser and APP
pointed Judge X. l. Perky of Boise to
fill the vacancy caused by the death
of Senator Hepburn.
Governor Hawley in a statement
says that to accept the United States
senatorship from Lieutenant Governor
Sweetser would be virtually the same
as appointing himself, and that he
would not take office under that con-
dition.
Judge Perky is a native Of Wayne
county, Ohio, and came to Idaho in
1894. He was appointed judge of the
fourth judicial district in 1901 and was
state democratic chairman in 1900.

The porte has appointed plenipoten-

ing an armistice and to discuss condi-

Terms Moderate.
Sofia.-It is understood the terms of
the allies for an armistice are moder-
ate and that Turkey may retain Con-
stantinople If she accepts them.
Respecting Albania, 1t is said in well
informed quarters that the Balkan
league probably will not object to that
country remaining under the suzerain-
ty Of the sultan and that the powers
will acquiesce in this.
Turkey to Retain ConstantinopIe.
Paris.-The stipulations of the Bal
kan allies with respect to an armis-
tice. according to information re-
ceived here, include the unconditional
surrender of important points, such
as Adrianople, the Tchatalja lines and
Durazzo, on the Adriatic sea. Bulga-
ria will denounce the entry into Con-
stantinople.
Many persons believe Turkey will
yield on most of the points, in the
hope that Europe will undertake to
reduce the claims of the allies when
peace is concluded If the pour par
lers are successful Constantinople will
remain Turkish territory, which the
powers desire.
Numerous difficulties remain, how
ever, including the status of the
Aegean Islands, the matter af a Ser
Wan port on the Adriatic, the delimi-
tation o, autonomous Albania, the par
tition of territories, the claims of Ru-
mania, and the Servian customs adj
ministration.

That the Taft tmunsgers realize
tina: every resource must be called
uHon TO nominate the President, ia
made evident by an analysis of the
electoral votes in the various states,
Twenty-three Of the as states now
have Republican governors. The vote
OF these states in the electral col
lr&e total 23S. With S31 votes in
the electoral college AID 266 neces-
sarN to choice, the Republicans will
reed only 2$ additional votes proyid-
ing they can hold the states in
which they now have the governor
ship. to carry the next Presidential
election.
The governors Of Kansas, Michi-
gan, Missouri, Nebraska, New Hamp-
shire, South Dakota, West Virginia
and Wyoming have openly joined a
movement for the nomination Of Col.
Roosevelt. The aggregate electoral
votes Of these states is Il. In Cali
fornia. Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota,
New Mexico, Washington and Wis
consin there is a decided opposition
to President Taft. These states
have an aggregate of 80 electoral
votes.
From this it will be seen that 166
electoral votes from l. normally Re-
publican states are put in the "doubt-
tHl column and the moment Pres
idCnt Taft is declared the nominee
Of the Chicago convention, there will
be strong probability of Democrat
lc success in at least IS Of them.
Should Colonel Roosevelt be the
nominee, it is likely that he would
carry all Of the % Republican states
with the exception Of Maryland and
Tennessee and thus would be assur-
ed OF at least 21S electoral votes
to start with. TO carry the cleo
ton he would have to win in other
states an aggregate Of only is cleo
toral votes.
From North and South Carolina'
have come the echoes of dissatis-
faction to the Taft administration.

making a strong bid for recognition

Federal Patronage His Hopes.

Federal patronage is to be the
handspring Of Mr.. Taft's campaign
for the nomination. This much is
evident, say progressive congressman
from the manner in which the cam
DaiGn has started out. The placing
Of Representative Burke, Of South
Dakota, at the head Of the ReDubli-
can Congressional Committee, in
the eyes Of these congressman, keeps
the shadow Of the patronage club
ever above their heads.
The resignation Of Representative
Mckinley, as chairman of the com
mittee, done, it was stated, that nc
criticism Of the committee might
arise through having the chairman
manage the Presidents campaign has
done nothing to dspel the menace
Of the "steam roller" according tC
