infant, BORN DEAD,
THROWN IN C|STERN
Likely That No Charges Will
Be Placed Against
Mother.
INVESTIGATION MADE
Addie Bridget Confessed to
Mother--Father Is
Not Known.
INVESTIGATION MADE

It is probable that no charges will
be filed against Addie Bridget, OF
Cambridge City, who gave birth to a
still born child Sunday morning at
four o'clock and later dropped the
body of the child in cistern near
the home of her parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Jasper Bridget.
The girl is but eighteen years OF
age and has been employed as a do,
mestic on a farm south of Cambridge
City. She refused to divulge the
name of the father.
She returned home to her parents
Saturday night and told them nothing
of her condition. Her mother was
aroused by the dog barking furiously
early Sunday morning and after ques-
tioning her daughter, discovered that
she had dropped the child in the els
tern.
The child was dead when it was
thrown into the cistern, according to
the deputy coroner who made a thor
ough examination of the body. Prose
cutting Attorney Keller investigated
the facts of the case last night and re
ported that there probably would be nc
prosecution.
The Bridgetts live along the upper
canal Mrs. Bridget questioned heI
daughter closely, but it was some
time before the girl admitted the act
and led her mother to the cistern
where the child had been placed.

LLOYD-GEORGE HAS
HOME DYNAM|TED
English Chancellor Was Not
in His Residence When
Explosion Occurred.
(National News AssociatioE)


LONDON, Feb. 19.-Waltonon Hill,
the magnificent new residence of DAY.
i'd Lloyd-George, chancellor Of the ex-
chequer of the British government,
was blown up with dynamite early to-
day in an evident attempt to assassi-
nate Mr.. Lloyd-George.
Two hatpins were found by the po-
lice among the ruins and this clue
taken together with the fact that
nearby residents saw several women
near Waltonon Hill in an automobile
shortly after four o'clock led to the the
ory that the outrage had been com
mitted by suffragets.
Mr.. Lloyd-George was not in the
house at the time, being in the south
of France for his health. He had
slipped away from England very qui
city and few knew that he was not in
this country.
So badly was the structure shat
tered that it will have to be rebuilt
A heavily charged dynamite bomt
had been placed in the servants
quarters. This part of the house was
shattered and the walls were cracked
by the terrific force of the explosion
The floor of Mr.. loyd-George's sleep
ing quarters was shattered and one o!
the walls of the room crashed inward
Fortunately no one was sleeping IL
the house at the time as the decorat
ors had not quite finished their la
bors. The finishing touches to the
interior of the residence were to bs
put on today and tomorrow and the
household effects of the Lloyd-Georgt
family were to have been moved II
the latter part of this week. Mr.
Llody-George was to have occupied
the new home upon his return from
the continent
A second unexploded bomb wa!
found among the ruins. This hal
been sent to Scotland Yard.
An attempt also had been made t,
set the building on fire as larg,
quantities of paper, soaked in oil
were found in the debris. Some o
them were burning when discovered
Up to noon no arrests had beel
made, although the police believe,
that they were on the track of tn,
would-be assassins. There is evi
| dence that the dynamiters fled to tn
coast with the evident intention o
| fleeing to France.

Preparations For lnterven-

For the Time Being.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-
While the state department to-
day received dispatches from
Ambassador Wilson confirma-
tory of the overthrow of the Ma
dero regime in Mexico, and con-
tanning expressions of hope that
comparative peace will follow
the inauguration of new pres
ident, neither the navy nor the
war department countermanded
their previous orders preparing
for intervention south of the
border.
The state department believes
that the enforced resignation of
President Madero makes the sit
uation considerably more diff
cult and that the administration
of General Huerta will be brief.
Additional obstacles in the path of
peace south of the Rio Grande are the
pretensions of Generals Orozco. Sala-
zar. Zapata and the other revolution
airy leaders to the reins of govern
ment They do not regard Huerta
either as a strong man or as a capa-
BILE ruler. 1t is feared that until an
other Porfio Diaz is seated in the cas-
tie there will be no peace in Mexico
and that all foreigners will be subject
ed to all manner of attack and insult
by revolutionists throughout the re-
public. s,sa,-.s.--~-,.-s.--zss-,-s
For this reason the United States
will not give it's battleships addition
