EXPLOSION IN U.S..
CAPITOL FRIDAY
NO ONE HURT AND LITTLE DAM
AGE DONE BY MYSTERIOUS
BLAST.
THOUGHT WORK OF CRANK
Public Reception Room On East Side
of Building is Wrecked-No
Trace Found of Machine
Or Bomb.

Washington-A tremendous explos-
ion, believed to have been caused by
some kind Of bomb or internal ma
chine, wrecked the public reception
room on the east side of the capitol
building shortly before midnight Fri
day night. No one was injured.
Officials believe that the explosive
was placed by a crank who desired
to create a sensation. Visitors were
allowed in the room during the day,
and timed machine might have been
left without attracting attention.
Part of the ceiling and side walls
of the room were shaken down, a
huge mirror and a crystal chandelier
shattered and the doors blown open.
One of the doors led into the office
of the vice-president and is said not
TO have been opened in 40 years.
A strong odor was noticed in the
building, but none seemed able to de-
tect just what it was. No trace could
be found of an exploded bomb nor Of
anything else which might have
caused the blast.
Superintendent Woods said he had
examined the structural features of
the building and found that there
was no damage other than in the i'm
mediate vicinity of the reception
loom.
While some officials thought the
explosion was the work of an ire
sronsible crank with no other end in
view than a sensation, others serious
ly suggested that it might have been
perpetrated by a person desiring to
demonstrate his disapproval of some
of the policies of the American gov
eminent. 1t was apparent that there
was no intent TO destroy life, as 1t
is generally known that the room is
empty at night.
Some idea of the force of the blast
was gained by the discovery of a chan
delier crystal into the connecting
link of which a splinter of wood had
been driven.
At the time of the explosion, the
capitol had been closed since dark.
and no one was in the building, ex-
cept the few watchmen on duty and
telephone operators. The Waterman
in the hall directly below the recep-
ton room said he was almost blown
from his chair by the force of the
blast. He declared that no one could
have been near the room for hours.
