Considerable Property Damaged at

Ipswich. Eng, April 80. 5:25 a. IN.
Excited residents of this historic
town, the refuge of Charles ii, after
the Battle of Worcester, spent the
early hours of the morning taking
stock of the damage done by the
bombs dropped from the German air
ship. generally believed to have been
a Zeppelin, which appeared shortly
after midnight. So far as can be
learned no one was injured, although
there were several narrow escapes,
and the property damage was small.
Bombs fell harmlesslY in Waterloo
street, which is the most densely pop
ulated district.
E. Livingstone, whose home in
Brookshall Road, was struck by a
bomb and virtually destroyed, be-
lieves he and the members Of his
family have as much cause as any
one for congratulating themselves
upon a narrow escape.

it made. My boy, awakened by the

Property Damage Considerable.
Bury Saint Edmunds, England,
April 30, $50 a. m.-Police Inspec-
tor Wilson said this morning that
just after the clock in the village
church chimed one, he heard a loud,
throbbing noise followed by several
terrific explosions and realized that
n Zeppelin had arrived. The shells
dropped from the airship caused four
fires, which illuminated the entire
town. While there was no loss of
life. the property damage was con-
sidera BILE. The aerial raider re-
manned over the town ten minutes
and then disappeared in the direction

WILSON APPOINTS DELANEY
new BRITAIN POSTMASTER
Chairman of Democratic
Town Committee Now
Has Job Spiked.

New Britain's long dispute over the
postmastership came to an end to-
day when President Wilson appointed
Chairman w. +. Delaney of the dem
ocratic town committee to the posi-
ton. This appointment is final and
before long Mr.. Delaney will be ill
stalled in the federal building as sue
cessor to Ire E. Hicks.
Probably no political contest in
New Britain has been of such intense
and continuous interest as the present
one for postmaster. a large field of
candidates entered the race but it was
not long before the contest had sim
mered into a four-cornered affair and
it was taken for granted that the selec-
ton of Congressman Augustine Lon
ergan was from among Mr.. Delaney,
John M. Brady, John O'Neill and ex-
Mayor Joseph M. Halloran. Congress
man Lonecgan finally recommended

SCHWIND PROTESTS
AGAINST DETENTION
Writes Major julien That Charge of
Espionage Against Him Is Alto
oether PrcpoSterOuS
gether Prcposterous.

Paris, April 80. 4:45 Il. m.-Ray-
mond Ruff Schwind, best known as
Raymond Swoboda, arrested on
suspicion of having started the fire
aboard the steamship LaToUralne and
now charged with espionage, has
been confronted by Major Wehring,
who identified him as having been in
his employ when the major was man
ager of the Russo-Chinese bank at
Shanghai, according to the Petit Jour
nal. The newspaper asserts that the
prisoner admitted he had been con-
victed in the consular court at Shang-
hal under the name of Schwind and
stated then that he was born in Ham
burg, but he is said to have explained
&c the French military authorities that
the name and birthplace were as
sumed.
The prisoner has written to Major
Julien of the Paris permanent court
martial protesting against his long de-
tention, declaring the charge of setting
fire to the Touraine was trumped up
cut of spite by n fellow passenger
and that the charge of espionage is
altogether prcposterous.
