USED BOMB
IN CHICAGO
NANNY Abrahams Saloon
Was Partly Destroyed

Chicago, Aug. Bomb throwers to-
day attempted to blow up the saloon
OF Emanuel Abrahams, better known
as NANNY Abrahams, the first state
legislator to vote for Lorimer on the
ballot which sent Lorimer TO Wash
ington.
The police report the explosive was
dynamite incased in steel and operat-
ed by a time fuse. Another descrip-
ton given Of the bomb was that It was
black powder in a tin can.
Abrahans is a power in a west side
ward and has been the democratic
leader there for years. He told the
police that while he might have a
number Of political enemies, he could
think of no one who had SO serious a
grudge against him as to seek to harm
him. He denied there had been garlb-
ing in his saloon.
While the charge was insufficient to
demolish the building, 1t wrecked the
walls and frightened several families
who occupy the upper floors. There
was no one in the saloon at the time
OF the explosion.

El Paso, Aug. 1.--Scores of messages
have been sent from Ell Paso and
other border towns to washington, ap-
pealing to the United States to take
some steps which will secure protec-
ton for Americans in Mexico.
In many instances the messages are
being sent in the names of entire
communities, as in the case of one
from Maria yesterday addressed TO
Cong. S. w. r. Smith. The message
read. a,a--s. ...
IF the United States cannot handle
the Mexican situation, let Preside
county handle it,"
The appeals are in most cases being
sent to congressman and senators, but
some have been directed to the White
House.
The arrival last night of two train
loads Of refugees from the Mormon
colonies of Pachuca, Chuchopa and
Garcia has brought the number here to
$500. -
Dignitaries of the Mormon church
who are looking after their people are
arranging to send many Of them to
other cities.
o. p, Brown, one Of the Mormon
bishops, in note to local paper, de-
clares: The time has come for the
American people to act, If the Mexican
government is unable and the United
States unwilling to protect its people

POINT IS
INVOLVED
Do Voters Have Referendum on
National Convention?
Fight to Keep 7. R. Electors
Off Primary Ballot
Case Goes to Supreme Court
as Emergency Action

New York, Aug 1.-The Kansas
primary election case, which involve,
a unique point of great Importance IL
the machinery Of national elections
was laid before the justices of the
United States supreme court here to.
day.
Directly or Indirectly the decision OF
these justices will settle whether eight
candidates for presidential electors
who have declared they win vote in
the electoral college for Roosevelt
may have their names on the ballots
to be submitted to the people of
Kansas at the republican primary
election. Aug. 6.
An emergency action by the court
Is necessary so the primary ballots
may be printed in time for the elec-
ton. The action which takes the
form of an application for a writ OF
error, is defended by several attor-
neys representing the Roosevelt party,
Including Rep. F. S. Jackson Of To-
peka. republican. Olmsted Of Penn
sylvania appears for the applicants.
The question at issue is broad
one. The Taft leaders declare the
elght electors they are trying to keep
of the ticket were designated with
the understanding that they would
abide by the decision Of the repubIi-
can national convention and that II
a statewide primary elected them.
the result would be contrary to the
fourteenth amendment of the federal
constitution. which forbids any state
to interfere with the freedom and
privileges Of citizens Of the United
States. .r.
The Roosevelt people contens the
voters of Kansas should have the righr
of referendum on the decision az
the national convention. The Kansas
law is the only one which would per-
NIT such a referendum.
