Bomb Wrecks Country Home.

"Walton-on-Hill," the country resi-
dence of David Lloyd-G George, .chancel-
lor of the exchequer at Walton
Heath, in Surrey, near London, was
nearly destroyed by bomb which the
police say was placed there either by
militant suffragettes or their male
sympathizers.
Lloyd-George is on a motor trip in
France. Nobody was injured, as the
residence was not occupied.
The fact that neighbors saw several
women near "Walton-on-Hill" in an
automobile led to the theory that the
outrage had been committed by suf-
fragettes. This suspicion was strength
ened by the finding Of two hatpins in
the wreckage.

TWO EXPLORERS
DIE IN ANTARCTIC
Lieut. MINIS and Or. MSrz
SuCGumb in Ice.
The DETAILS ARE LACKING
The Head of Expedition Alive, With
Six Of His Companions, Are Re-
turning.

Somewhere within the frozen Ant
arctic, not far from the magnetic pole,
TWO more lives have been sacrificed to
the cause of South Polar exploration.
a brief wireless message from the
little relief ship Aurora, of the Nav
son expedition, from the neighborhood
| of Adele Land, received in Sydney,
/ announces the deaths of two prOmi-
/ nent members of Professor Mawsons
party, Lieutenant X. +. S. MINIS, Of
/ the British army, and DR.. Herr, the
| Swiss ski champion. How the two men
met death the dispatch does not say.
The Aurora, which is a sailing ship,
had gone to bring out DR.. MawsOn and
/ several Of his men who had left the
main party temporarily. Some unfor-
tunate circumstances, believed to have
been the sudden closing in of the ice
prevented the explorers from regain
ing the ship, the message states, and
DR.. Mawson and the six men with him
will winter on Adele Land. They are
we'll according to the report, and have
accomplished some important explora-
tions along the shores OF Wilkes Land
by means of sledging expeditions
Lieutenant MINIS belonged to the
city of London regiment of the Royal
Fusileers. He was a friend Of Captain
Lawrence Oates, of the lnnisSillin
Dragons, the British officer who lost
his life returning from the South Pole
with the Scott expedition. He served
the Mawson party as an expert in
sledging and surveying.
DR.. Herr was hardly less well known
as a sportsman than as a scientist. He
won the Swiss ski championship in
1908, and his endurance and expert
ence in long journeys over snow and
ice qualified him to act as a scientific
aide to the leader of the expedition.
The Aurora, with DR.. MawsOn on
board, was known TO have been on its
way to pick up Dr. Wilde. a former
member of both the Scott and Shack
Teton expeditions, who with several
companions had been left at the foot
of Termination Glacier in 1912. It is
believed in Sydney that DR.. Mawson,
with a half dozen men, landed and
ventured on a side excursion, from
which they did not return in time to
regain the vessel.
The wireless message received in
Sydney was addressed to DR.. T. w. r.
David, professor of geology in the
University of Sydney, and himself the
Antarctic explorer who led the party
which reached the South Magnetic
Pole in January, 1909. This is the dis
patch from Adele, which was relayed |
at McQuarie Island:
DR. Douglas Mawson and several !
of his men missed the Aurora. which |
had gone to fetch them, under the
command of Captain J. K. Davis. This |
happened owing to unfortunate cir
cumstances. Lieutenant B. E. S. Min
mis-, of the city of London regiment Of
Royal Fusileers, and DR.. Herr, who
was ski champion of Switzerland in
1908. members of the expedition, are
both dead. The others are we'll
DR. Douglas Mawson and six other
members of his party probably will
winter in Adele Land. Some very sue
cessful sledging expeditions were
made during the sojourn of Dr. Nav
son and his companions in the Ant
arctic"

CHILD MURDERER IN
 PRISON FOR LIFE

SEATTLE. April 29.-C. F. John son. who killed his little six-year-old boy last winter by throwing 1t and himself in front of a moving train, was sentenced to life imprisonment in the superior court of the State in this city yesterday. Johnson had uuarreled with his wife, and she had left him and the boy. He alleges that the boy and he made a compact to die together, and that he had meant to end both lives when he with the boy in his arms plunged in front Of the locomotive that was drawing q passenger train. The child was killed instantly. but Johnson was only slight ly injured. Johnson was defended at the trial by an attorney appointed by the court, and seemed indifferent as to his fate. His attorney made a fight against the imposition of sen tence on the ground that the statute of the legislature abolishing capital punishment, not ye in effect, had re- pealed the old law, and left no pro- vision for punishing those accused of
 murder. The court ove1ruled the contention, but did not impose the death penalty.

 DIGNITY OF BODY

A fine sense of dignity envelopes the House like an ermine robe and the membership is all up in arms lest it be soiled. The point that accen- tuates the stress now prevailing is because of the action of the Senate in relation to certain memorials and bills. Heretofore the upper branch Of the legislature has enforced a closed monopoly on the dignity" stunt.
