NEWS CULLED
IN THE CAPITAL
ACTIVITIES OF STATE DEPART
MENTS.-oTHER HAPPENINGS

I'm spite Of the various revelations
Of Ohio legislative corruption which
startled the state nearly four years
ago, the general feeling here is
that the bribery probe never went
to the bottom of the scandal and
that there were many who went
scot free. This public impression
does not impugh the work or the
does not impugn the work or the
motives OF those who conducted the
legislative bribery trials, but rather it
constitutes a grudging tribute to the
shrewdness and the cleverness Of
some former legislators who almost
we're caught, but who, like the wise
and roguish fox in the story book,
were sleek enough to get away. The
conclusion that the trap, even with its
Burns detectives and it's famous dicta-
graph, did not get some of those who
were the most badly wanted is all the
stronger here now in view of the final
closing of the legislative graft cases
which gave Ohio an unenviable and
widespread reputation throughout
the United States. The last chapter
was written in Columbus Tuesday
when the remaining indictments
against former Representative George
B. Nye of Pike county, confessed
bribe taker and states witness against
others accused, were nolled. Nye, it
will be remembered, was the chief
actor in the states presentation of the
bribery cases. He got immunity by
stating certain facts regarding his
bribery dealings-turning states evf-
dence. On the whole four men went
to the penitentiary as the result of the
bribery disclosures and others paid
fines. And still the impression pre-
walls that many of the real conspir-
ators got away. And 1t might be said
upon which conservative observers
base a conclusion of this sort. One
such basis was the sensational decla-
ration made at one time during the
heat of the bribery cases that a clean
and full confession had been OBJ
tanned that would lead to wholesale ar
rests and cause additional and almost
endless sensations. The man whom
the prosecution named as laying bare
the entire situation was none other
than Nye. But subsequent develop
ments did not warrant the sweeping
promises, for they were, in fact, a dis
appointment to those who had been
led to expect much. The truth is that
no startling developments followed
and for week after week the public
waited for the tremendous roundup
that never came. This is just one of
the reasons why the belief persists
that the prosecution failed to make
The final coup that it planned. Whether
the belief is automatically founded
will, of course, always remain unan-
swered. If it be well founded, then
naturally the inference will be that
the people of Ohio missed the most
spectacular part of the notorious
bribery show.

WRECKED TEMPLE
BOMB HURLED ~ FANATIC At
FEET or SWAMI WHILE HINDU
SERVICE rs ON.
Thower Is Killed and Five Are In
jured-PIatform Torn Up and
Windows Broken.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
San Francisco.-Louis Vavara, be-
lieved TO have been a religious fanatic,
wrecked the Hindu temple at Filbert
and Webster streets, when he ex-
ploded a dynamite bomb at the feet
of the Swami Trignnatita during
services.
Vavara was killed, the bomb blow
irg him almost in two. The Swami
WAS cut badly about the legs and feet
OF the congregation, about IS persons,
fodr were injured.
Vavara was known to all OF the
members of the congregation. He was
an inmate OF the monastery, which is
maintained on the third floor OF the
temple, up to two years ago. when he
was ousted. He kept away until Christ
mas and was greeted by his former
associates that day.
be strobe quickly by the doorkeep-
er, Z. c. Brown, and walked down the
center aisle OF the temple. He is be.
lieved TO have carried the momb un-
der his coat, until getting inside, and
then 10 have transferred it to his hat.
No one interfered with him as he ap
preached the platmorm from which
the Swami was preaching.
Lifting the bomb from his hat he
moved it up and down three times and
brought ii down with a crash on the
platform.
There was a deafening report and
all of the windows of the temple were
blown into the streets. Glass was
thrown a distance of about a hundred
feet Within the temple there was a
panic and the injured ran screaming
into the streets.
The platform on which the Swami
stood was smashed into kindling wood.
The floor was blown up, pictures be-
hiId the altar were torn from their
frames and a piano and organ were
wrecked.
Immediately after the explosion re-
lief was given to the victims. Those
of the congregation who might have
known any cause for Vavara's act i'm
mediately began to tell conflicting
stories and the investigation has so
far been fruitless in uncoyering the
cause.
Vavara was a machinist and was
employed in Oakland.

Fewer Hunting Accidents.

There were fewer accidents than
usual during the hunting season which
has just closed, according to State
Game Warden John C. Speaks. Be-
cause of the fact that the prevalence
of the foot and mouth cattle disease
made it necessary for the state to
temporarily prohibit hunting at the
opening of the season, an extension Of
two weeks was granted hunters, and
this concession enabled them to spend
almost as much time in the fields as In
former seasons. Reports received by
the fish and game department of the

that rabbits were exceedingly plentiful
