BLAST HAVOC IS TERRTFICI
Damage by Explosion in Capitol
Reception Chamber is Ire
mendous.
POLICE SEARCHING FOR CLUES

WASHINGTON. July 4--Investigation
Of the explosion Friday night which
wrecked the senate reception room Of
the national capitol was interrupted to-
night by the confession in New York OF
Frank Holt. the man who shot j. p. Nor
gan at his home in Glen Cove, L. l.. this
morning. that he also had been response
Bile for the Washington crime.
Early in the day Washington news
papers received a letter signed "R.
Pearce' in which the writer stated that
he had planned the capitol explosion as
the exclamation point to my appeal for
peace"
While experts were at work satisfying
themselves that an Internal machine had
wrecked the senate room the police were
searching for clues. They could find no
trace OF the mysterious "R. Pearce," but
tonight they sought to trace the move
ments Of Holt, who confessed that he
came TO Washington yesterday noon and
waited last night at the Union station
until he heard the bomb explode.
Suspicion Already Aroused.
Hours before Hoit's confession, how
ever, suspicion was aroused here that the
ssssilant Of Morgan and the man who
sought to wreck the capitol were identl-
cal. Holt had given utterance in New
York following his arrest to statements
strikingiy similar 20 expressions in the
"Pearce'' letter.
III Germany should be able to buy
munitions here. we would. Of course,
positively refuse TO sell to IT," Holt said
after his arrest.
We would OF course not sell to the
Germans u thex could buy here" is a
statement in the "Pearce' letter"
Other portions Of Holts interview and
the Washington writer's letter also were
similar and officials here regarded this
as more than q coincidence. An investi-
cation TO establish q possible connection
between the two crimes was started.
Havoc Terrific.
The havoc wrought by the bomb was
terrific. In the reception room telephone
booths lined the wall near the window
where the bomb was placed behind a
telephone switch board. The frame work
around this window was OF iron and was
shattered by the conclusion. The tele-
phone booths were blown into splinters
gathered up by the Investigators.
Directly in front OF the switch board.
no vestige OF which could be found save
a few pieces Of metal. was a mantel on
which stood a large gilt framed mirror,
admired by capitol visitors for years 1t
was shattered into thousands OF pieces
and souvenier hunters seeking these
fragments had to be restrained by the
police while the inquiry into the explosion
progressed.

MAXWELL TO QUIT RACING
Ray Harroun Announces that the
Omaha Classic Will Be Last in
Which Cars Are Entered.
HAS CROUCH ON THE A. A. A.

SIOUX CITY. Ia, July A-(speeial.)-
According TO announcement here today.
prior to the Sioux City sweepstakes. the
opening event over omaha's new speed
way will mark the retirement from rae
ing Of the Maxwell Motor company'H
team, comprising the cars OF Ricken-
bacher Orr and Billy Carlson.
Tho announcement was authorized by
Chief Engineer Ray Harroun. Notice TO
this effect was also handed TO each MEM
boz or tho team.
Following the Omaha event. the mem-
bern OF the Maxwell team win scatter TO
accept other work. The stellar nature
OF the entire aggregation will afford an
unusual chance for other organizations
to secure highly capable additions.
Attitude Of Contest board.
The withdrawal OF the Maxwell team
from racing is caused by number OF
recent actions OF the contest board Of
the American Automobile association.
which, Mr. Harroun declares. has as
sumed an attitude OF positive discourage
ment toward American manufacturers
and entrants.
After mentioning several Of the recent
instances in which this tendency had
been shown Mr.. Harroun declared that
until the contest board should cease al
lowing its policies to be dictated by per-
sors having no vital interest in the sport
the Maxwell cars would remain out Of
competition.
Active Last Two YeRru.
Tho Maxwell company has been active
In racing ever since the 1914 event at
Indianapolis. where the cars of Harroun'a
design registered the greatest speed Of
any American entrants. During the win
ter campaign on the Pacific coast. the
team-then comprised OF oldfield. Rick

the increasing shortage OF racing carr

Anvils Date Back of History.

The anvil was known in the earliest times. being spoken of in the Bible. the prophet Isaiah saying (chapter 47, verse D. ''So the carpenter encouraged the goldsmith, and he that smootheth with the hammer, him that smiteth the anvil" It is not known who first used it. but of course the anvil of an tiquity was unlike that of today as perfected by modern workmanship The anvil still used in the orient, how. ever. is boot shaped piece of metal inserted in section of oak or walnut log Larger. or smaller it is used by tinsmiths. shoemakers. silversmiths and blacksmiths. The anvils used in this country are commonly made of cast iron faced with steel and are of parallelopiped form. with steel cone or beak at one end and q "handy hole" for inserting chisel or other tools at the other end.-Boston Globe.

A Famous Piece of Artillery Is Ancient
 Mons Meg.
 In the most honorable location in the Argyll battery of Edinburgh castle Is huge piece of ancient artillery which is known as Mons Meg. This old fash toned piece of ordnance is held in the highest esteem by the Scottish people; in fact. it holds q position in their hearts similar to our feelings toward our own Liberty bell.
 Mons Meg was made at Mons, Bel gium, about the year 1903, by order of James w.. and was named Meg in honor of his wife. Margaret Tudor, the daughter of Henry VII. It's great bulk and weight rendered it almost worth less in those days of hand to hand con- f1icts. However, it was used on special occasions to help celebrate national events. In the reports of the financial transactions of the times may be found charges for grease for Meg's mouth this was used to increase the loudness of the report), ribbons to deck her carriage and pipes to be played

 Although only mere mass of rusty iron, it is revered by the people today and is always decorated with thistle and other flowers on anniversary days.

Brief Dispatches That Told of Famous
 Victories In War.
 1t is fitting that the great soldier, who should be man of deeds rather than words, should set an example of serseness in his dispatches. Thus, after the exploitation of Prague, Suvaroff thus communicated the joyful news to his empress: "Hurrah! Prague" To which Catherine, not to be outdone in brevity, answered. Bravo, field mar shulv'
 That grim seadog Robert Blake, after gaining one of his famous victo- ries over the French, sent the news in this concise and buslnesslike form: "Mct with the French fleet; beat, killed. sunk and burned as per mar gin"
 The Vicomte de Turenne, marshal of France, was man of equally few words, as he proved when, after his brilliant defeat of Condo at the Dunes in 1885, he announced his triumph in ten words, "Thc enemy came, was beaten; am tired; good night!'
 But the worlds greatest generals have always been models of brevity as of modesty since the days of Caesar. whose T came, saw, conquered" sent to his friend Amintius after the glorious victory over Pharnaces at Zela, is the most famous dispatch" in the annals of war.-London Saturday Review.

THE FORTY lMM0RTALS.
Origin and checkered Career of tho
 French Academy.

French Academy.
 The Institute of France had it's 1n- ception in 1870, when there was found- ed In Paris by the French poet, An toine de Baif, literary and musical society, known as the Academy of the Valois. Charles TX. granted it letters patent on Nov. 20, 157O, as the Acade~ my of Poetry and Music. It had, how ever, no stability. Attacked upon every occasion and criticised by it's oppo- nents, it's members ceased to meet aft CT 15s4 Almost half century passed before revival took place.
 For some time, since the year 1929. a small circle of enthusiastic students was wont to meet at each others homes for the study of French language and literature From year to year it's mem- hership increased, and in 1884 Cardinal Richelieu proposed to the society to have their private status changed into a public institution, with many rights and privileges. Upon agreement by the society it was henceforth known as the French Academy, with charter from Louis XIII, of January, 1G35. It consisted then of forty members, the 'forty immortals," and at no time and under no pressure whatsoever has this number been increased.
 True it is. also. that here royal pre- rogative and personal intrigue often added an inferior member, while the far superior remained excluded, for whom popular indignation created tho world known "forty-first seat" For century and a half the academy held stated meetings until Aug. 5, 1793.- Argonaut.
