Windows Examined.

Windows Examined.
Main interest in the explosion was d.
rected at the two north windows of the
Senate wing of the Capitol opening into
the wrecked reception room. The win
dow farthest west Is but a few feet off
balcony extending over the north en-
trance. 1t was plainly apparent that a
bomb could have been thrown into the
balcony. y
1t developed today that this window
had been opened until a short time be-
fore the explosion. Guards making
their rounds had been in the reception
room lust short time before the ex.
plosion. and noticed that the window
nearest the balcony was raised while
the other window in the room was
closed.
Both Windows Shattered.
Both windows were shattered anc
the wooden framework was PARTIAL,
blown out and splintereI.
Hundreds of tourists crowded into
the Capitol corridors today. They
were not prevented from goins
through the building, but they wer,
not permitted to enter the wrecke,
reception room.

CONCERNING A MINISTER, SOME GLkLS, A COP,
A RAID AND A PECULIAR ENDING

One of our most respectable Meth
odist ministers was picked up in
raid on a fiat of doubtful character
at 2242 Wabash av. late last night. He
was locked up at the Cottage Grove
av. station as an inmate of dis
orderly house and bailed out.
Rev. Carl w. Hanson was the name
he gave the police and 1901 N. Saw
yer av. as his address. According to
Mrs. Hanson, when interviewed by
reporter for The Day Book, his
church is the Norwegian and Danish
Methodist church at Kedzie and Cort-
land avs.
1t happened like this:
Officer Benjamin Stokes of the
Cottage Grove av. station was stand
ing on the corner of 22d and Wabash
av.,. the old levee district, when he
saw Mabel Williams hurry around the
corner.
Frank Carpenter of Earlville, ILL.,,
was standing near the girl. AS she
passed him she gave little nod and
Frank, who was unused to the bright

Frank caught up with Mabel and
they had little business converse
ton. Then they hiked south on Wa
bash av. with Officer Stokes and his
partner, Thomas Howard, hot after
them.
At 2242 Wabash av. they turned in
and went upstairs, the policemen fol-
lowing, unknown to thin.
Then Officer Stokes tells this story:
I'VE knocked on the door and
our way into the fiat.
"a crowd of men and women were
sitting together in a room and one of
the women had kimona on.
The wagon was called and the
bunch, four women and four men,
were loaded in and hauled to the Cot
tage Grove av. station.
The Rev. Hanson at this point
broke down and asked not to be ar

of the gospel
The reverend gentleman was bail
ed out and, according to his wife,
came home about 2 a. m. At seven
he hurried out, explaining that he
was in trouble, charged with dis
orderly conduct.
In the morals court this morning
Frank Carpenter, Robert Novak,
Henry Crawford, Mabel Williams,
Virginia Belmont, Margaret Talbot
and Gladys Phillips, the other mem
bers of the gay party lined up be-
fore Judge Heap. But no Rev. Han
son.
Officer Stokes told his story, the
prosecutor asked that the judge fine
all in the party except Virginia Bel
mont, who looked as though she had
got into the place by mistake.
Carpenter told the judge that he
had gone into the place to stay with
the girl and she had asked him for
So for the privilege. So Judge Heap
fined him 81, assessed the Williams
girl So and let the others go, although
all the girls testified that they did not
know the men they we're alone in the
room with. This was not sign that
anything was wrong, evidently.
And the Rev. Hanson, without even
appearing in the courtroom, was let
go without the slightest fine being
placed upon him, although author
tiles claim that an ex-parte hearing is
an admission of guilt.
Rev. Carl Hanson, according to a
statement from his home, spent the
day by local cemetery.
81 don't see anything significant
about that" declared Mrs. Hanson,
when Interviewed.

LOOK FOR BOMBS
IN MULE CARGOES
British Steamships, With Animals for
Army, Reports to Have Been
Aarked for Destruction.

Washington, D. c., July f2.-Navy de
partment officials today awaited re-
sponses from the British steamships
Howth Head and Baron Napier. laden
with mules for the British army and
now off the south Atlantic coast. to a
warning sent them by wireless TO
watch out for bombs in their holds.
Both vessels sailed from New Orleans
July 8, the Howth Head for Dublin and
Belfast via Norfolk and the Baron Ma
pier direct for Ay0nmouth.
The warning was flashed out broad
cast over the sea from the Arlington
wireless station last night. following
the receipt by Secretary Daniels of
telegram from a New Orleans newspa-
per stating THAI letter TO that paper
from a person who signed himself as
"Pearce" indicated that explosives had
been placed aboard the two vessels.

States out OF the European war. The
letter also warned persons who had
friends or relatives aboard the Howth
Head and the Baron Napier 10 watch
for reports from those vessels.
The H0wth Head is not equipped
with wireless, but ought TO reach Nor
folk by tomorrow at the latest, when
she likely viii make response. Even if
the radio message was not picked up
directly by the Baron Napier, some 9th

1t was believed here that responses
may be caught up today by some of

IN PLAN TO keep
LABOR EMPLOYED
Commissioner Camfnetti and Secretary
Of Government Labor Officials
Are Cooperating,

Washington, D C., July 12.-Secre-
rary Wilson today had under c0usid-
Grafton plans for further cooperation
OF the federal labor authorities and
the industrial departments OF the va
rious states, outlined, in a conference
with Commissioner Caminetti and J. 7.
Fitzpatrick, secretary Of the AssoCia-
ton OF Governmental Labor Officials
These plans, which had for their
purpose the promotion OF the efficiency
Of state labor laws and which dsaIt

tion. viii be discussed at the congress
of the state commissioners in San
Francisco, aug. ?. Secretary Wilson
and other members Of his department
are planning 20 attend
One of the most important questions
concerning the means OF securing work
for the unemployed was the matter Of
transportation OF seasonal Iaborers.
Steps viii be taken to coordinate the
slack periods in the factories with the
harvest season in the west Efforts
will be made, it is stated, to persuade
the factories to use the summer sea
sons to overhaul their plants. thus per-
mitting mill employees to take d profit
able vacation on farms instead Of los
ing time in the winter season when
other work is difficult to find
Another scheme for relieving the un-
employment situation provides for
box car excursions" when the rail-
roads are sending empty trains west
ward for grain. These excursions
would make cheap transportation pos
sibIe when the working man can find
ready market for his labor on the
farms
The opening of federal lands OF the
buying in of idle districts under bond
issue has also been considered by the
department in Washington. This would
permit the large number Of skilled
farm workers who have left the coun-
try districts in unsuccessful attempts
to find city jobs, an opportunity 10
get back to the soil and eventually
own their own lots on easy payments.
The creation OF an inter-related la
bor exchange between the states which
will secure the necessary cooperation
for efficient transportation of labor is
also under consideration. This, it is
pointed out, would assure the distribu-
ton of immigrant labor where it would
be more effective.

Truth Persists.

The prejudices of one age are con-
demned even by the prejUdiced Of the
succeeding ages. The truth haters of
every future generation will call the
truth haters of another generation by
their true names-for even these the
stream of time carries onward. IN
fnt, truth, considered in itself and in
the effects natural TO it, may be con-
sidered as a gentle spring or water
course, warm from the genial earth
and breathing up into the snowdrift
that IS piled up and around its outlet.
1t turns the obstacle into its own form
and character and as it makes its way
increases its stream. And should II
be arrested in its course by a chilling
season it suffers delay, not less, and
waits only for a change in the wind to
awaken again and roll ouward.-Tay-
lor Coleridge.

tion. While It is extremely annoying
and sometimes very painful, this is
really one Of the most simple ailments
