Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL
NEWARK, Del. June 3.--The dis
covery Of a supposed Internal
machine in box in the Office of DIT.
George A. Harter. president OF Della
ware College, yesterday afternoon
caused a great deal Of excitement for
short time The box was found
by Miss Margaret Bowen and Miss
Ella Todd who are employed in the
office. on their arrival from lunch.
The box which was unusually we'll
made and fastened with screws, was
marked for Delaware College with an
express tag from Patterson, n. J. on
the lid we're the words glass, handle
With care" Miss Bowen and Miss
Todd we're attracted to the box by
hearing a clock ticking inside About
that time Howard X. Preston and
Clarence A. Short professors and one
member of the board Of trustees
Lewis =. Bush who was attending a
committee meeting al the college
walked I'm. The. we're told OF the
suspicious box. A screw driver Was
secured aud lid taken of in a short
time. Tho first thing noticed inside
the box was large Dlacard, on which
was votes for women
When this was removed the excite
ment started for in plain view was
what appeared TO be a bomb and at
tachod TO it by wires was a clock set
TO 20 OF at 10. One Of the profess
scrs started on a run for pair OF
pliers 10 cut the wire and thereby
prevent the exposition while the
trustee hurried TO the telephone and
notified the police department Of VIII
mington Of the presence OF an in
formal machine
When the wire was cut, however
Il was soon found that the bomb was
a fake Il was some kind Of metal
filed with emery dust that looked
like powder. II is thought that the
machine was made by students who
placed Il in the presidents Office dur
ing the noon hour Il represented no
doubt. many hours work. For few
seconds until the fake was discovered
there was CONSERVATION in the Office
and all we're much relieved over the
way the matter turned out. No one
has been able TO find out how the box
vas gotten into the Office but It was
made in the college workshop. the
material beins identified.

John Barrett Suggests
Mediation as Best Plan
to End Mexican Trouble

John Barrett. director general of the
Pan American Union. has written letters
TO President Taft. Senator Cullom. Rep
resentative Flood and other officials. adj
vocating mediation in Mexico as the best
method Of solving the existing political
crisis in that republic. AS suitable COM
missioners to conduct the necessary ne
sotiations he suggests such men as Sena-
tor Root or William j. Bryan, Senior Cal
daron. minister from Bolivia, or DR. De
Peaa, minister from Uruguay, and Senior
de la Barra of Mexico, former ambassa-
dor 10 the United States
The mediation proposal was made after
conferences with members of the Senate
and House and following renewed assur-
ances from the State Department that
there is no present intention of departing
from the established policy of dealing
with the situation in Mexico.
In his letter outlining the plan. Mr..
Barrett says that lit involves mediation
tather than intervention, interna tional
American cooperation rather than indi-
v.dual United States action, and d prac-
teal application of the PAN American
rather than of the Monroe doctrine. The
commission, he suggests, should investi-
gate the situation in Mexico on the
ground, and make recommendations to
Mexico which shall readjust the situation
in favor of permanent peace and stabil-

Mr.. Barrett expresses the opinion that
this government would find the Latin

this plan: that the selection of either

City Heads Statement.

Regarding the other features OF the pro-
posed legislation the Commissioners say.
The first and second of these proposed
changes meet the approval of the inspec-
tor of buildings and of the Commissioners.
If office buildings are required to be pro-
vided with window protection against fire,
such buildings as are used for warehouse,
storage. mercantile or manufacturing pur-
poses should likewise be go provided. The
Commissioners believe that the use of
wire glass in fireproof sash and frames
is preferable to automatic iron shutters
as the latter. being automatic, cannot be
depended upon to operate when necessary.
''Other shutters are Objectionable be-
cause they depend for effectiveness on
fallible human agency.
THE Commissioners also favor the eX-
ception from the requirements of the pro-
posed law as to this proposed window
protection of the small number of fire
proof buildings now in existence. Some
of these were erected previous to the en-
actment of the fire escape law. and others
were erected in compliance with the fire
proof resulatins in force at the time of
their construction.
