Washington, July IA tremendous
explosion, believed to have been
caused by some kind Of bomb or infer
nal mechine, wrecked the public re-
ception room on the east side Of the
Capitol building shortly before mid
night Friday night.
No one was injured. First reports
Of the effects Of the explosion said
the windows in the reception room
had been blown out; that an immense
plate glass mirror had been demol-
lshed and that part of the ceiling and
walls we're torn down. The explosion
was heard for several blocks.
At the time of the explosion the
Capitol had been closed since dark
and no one was in the building except
the few watchmen on duty and tele-
phone operators.
The Waterman in the hall directly
below the reception oom said he was
almost blown from his chair by the
force Of the blast. He declared that
40 n could have been neal the room
Tor hours.
Officials believe that the explosive
was placed by a crank who desired to
create a sensation. Visitors were al
lowed in the room during the day, and
a timed machine might have been left
without attracting attention.
Superintendent Woods of the capitol
building. summoned by panic-stricken
watchmen, made a hurried investiga-
ton, then telephoned for an expert on
explosives. Until the expert has made
his report, no official statement con-
corning the incident will be made pub
lie.
No trace could be found of an ex-
ploded bomb nor Of anything else
which might have caused the blast.
