POLICE GUARD WILSON

Threat to Assassnate Him Stirred
Pittsburgh Officials.
Pittsburgh, Pa, Oct. 19.-The Pitts
burgh police spent q nervous night
guarding Governor Woodrow Wilson.
In his mail Police superintendent
Thomas A. McQuaide received letter
postmarked Chicago, in which the
threat was made that Wilson would
be assassinated in Pittsburgh. The let
ter is signed Justice"
That such a communication was re
ceived was discussed among detec
tives before McQuaide ascertained
that the thing had received publicity
The chief silenced the detectives and
declined to show the letter or talk
Of It.
McQuaide showed his determination
to guard Governor Wilson by putting
the governor into a police automobile
and riding with him from the Union
depot to the Duquesne club. Detec
tive Captain O'Brien sat at the other
side of Governor Wilson. Four detec
tives stood upon the steps at each
side of the machine so that Wilson
was nearly screened from public view
Nothing was said to the Democratic
candidate about the threatening letter
or the extra police precautions.
Following a dollar dinner, Governor
Wilson was put into an automobile
with drawn curtains, and driven to
Duquesne Garden, where he spoke tc
about 5000 persons.

4 SmokeIess and OdorIess
broiler for Home Use

One of the greatest Improvements
made in years in the family range is
the device furnished with Coles Hot
Blast Range for broiling meats, game,
fish and ham slices. This device
consists of broiling box which is
set before an upright grill in the
front of the range which forms the
front of the fire box. The odor and
smoke from broiling is carried through
the range and up the chimney.
With this modern method of broil-
ing the juices in the meat are saved
so that none of the favor is lost.
No grease can drop on the Goals and
the smoke and gases from the fire
cannot come in contact with the
meat and faint it.
This is a patented device which
can be used only on Coles Hot
Blast Range. All up-to-date house
keepers will be interested in seeing it.
Range in operation each day at
our store from Oct. 81 t. %.
