Several hundred clerks and otfi-

IN the department of agriculture last
Wednesday, when Daniel V. Jauch, a
Gatchman, ran through the corrldors
shouting that the building was about

Jauch, several of the cooler headed
department officials ran to the base
ment, where they found four sticks OF
dynamite on which the fuses had peen
burned out. Apparently an explosion
had been averted because the fuses
had been jammed so tightly into the
tinguished. Then came a hurried
suueal Jauch, who had suffered Sc
we're injuries on his head while SerV-
ing as a soldier in the Philippines TWO
years ago, was taken to police STA

ing. Later the police announced ne

said they believed the watchman in

fore it could do harm, hoping to win
promotion for his heroism. The dy-

The secretary was out of town, but

his office Assistant Secretary Gallo

under treatment of physicians and has

- Senator Vardaman of Mississippi,
assailed President Wilson in the sem
ate yesterday for requesting appeal OF
the Panama canal tolls exemption act.
When 1 heard him address congress
urging the appeal, l was dumbfound-
ed" he said. Il would not believe my
ears that one who had approved the
plank and held up to scorn those who
violate their party pledges would take
such a course. He gave no reason for
repeal, but with an assurance say
this with all deference-with an as
surance unbecoming one so learned, he
asked us to yield right or wrong.
Senator Vardaman declared the DEM
ocratic party would not now be threat
ened with disruption had it not been
for the speech of Senator Root in jan
uary, 1913 THE leadership of De-
mocracy becomes pathetic" said Sem
ator Vardaman, when we must rely
upon the keen, astute senator who won
his laurels as counsel for predatory
wealth, to become the keeper of the
conscience of the Democratic party
son. Think of Bryan and Root pulling
together at moral uplift Of the people.
Is the oily logic of the great senator
from New York sufficient to justify
the reputation of our party pledges"
Senator Vardaman quoted at length
Secretary Bryan'S address to the Penn
sylvania legislature, declaring that
violator of a party platform was a
worse criminal than an embezzler.
The Mississippi senator predicted that
if the repeal were not the death war
rant of the Democratic party, it would
at least remove it from power and dis
rupt the good feelings of Americans
for Great Britain.
London, June 4: The king and
queen held court at buckingham pal
ace tonight and despite all precautions
a militant suffragette gained access to
their presence and interrupted the pre-
sentation. AS she was passing the
king the suffragette dropped on her
knees and cried: Your majesty, for
Gods sake do not use force" The
woman was attired in court dress and
her action caused CONSERVATION. She
continued to admonish the king, but
the conductor of the band in the gal
lery signalled to the band to play loud
er and the woman's voice was drown
ed. The woman Immediately was re-
moved from the room and handed over
to the police. Her name was not
learned and close inquiries are being
made as to how she obtained a card
of admission. The scene was brief
and the aSSemblage generally had lit
tie knowledge of what was tranSpiring.
Whether the woman was an invited
guest who sympathiZed with the suf-
fragette movement or an intruder who
gained admission by forged card is not
known. The police had knowledge of
a conspiracy to approach the royal
presence and every guest and every
carriage arriving at Buckingham pal
ace tonight had been subjected to
close inspection by detectives-a
unique precaution and one that caused
considerable delay and not a little in
dignation or irritation in court circles.
Tonight'S incident is calculated to pro-
duce feelings of still greater eXaSpera-
ton in the public mind and renewed
demands for strong measures to sup
press the suffragette agitation. Among
those presented to the king and queen
were Miss Esther Cleveland of Prince
ton, n. j., daughter of the late Grover
Cleveland; and Mrs. Randolph Morde-
cal and Miss Margareta Pennington.
