CRANK SETS BOMB
IN U. S. CAPITOL
Reception Room in Senate Wing is
Damaged by Explosion Just
Before Midnight,
SENDS LETTER TO NEWSPAPER

WASHINGTON, July 3.-The pub
lie reception room in the senate wing
of the United States capitol was
wrecked just before last midnight
by an explosion. probably caused by
bomb or an Internal machine. No
one was injured and today there was
only one clue, a letter received by
the Washington Times, an evening
newspaper, announcing that it would
take place.
The letter was mailed nearly two hours
before the explosion. It was signed 'R.
Pearee" and indicated that the writer
had been waiting for an opportunity tC
carry out his plan. which. he said. would
be the exclamation point OF his career
Only one man OF that name Is in the
Washington city directory. A search was
begun for him.
! Officials at first believed the explo-
sion was caused by spontaneous combus-
ton or escaping gas. They abandoned
that line OF investigation and proceeded
on the theory that tho explosive was
placed by a crank seeking TO create a SEN
sation or by some foreign sympathizer,
seeking to register his disapproval OF the
policies OF the United States government
Damage is Slight.
! 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 foI
forty years.
The building had been closed since DARK
and there was no one in it but the watch
man and the telephone switchboard
operators. Watchman Jones. on the floor
below at the east entrance. said he was
blown from his chair by the explosion.
Superintendent Woods said he had ex
amined the structural features OF tn,
building and found that there was M
damage other than in the immediate vi
cinity OF the reception room.
