GOVERNOR PLEASED
At OPTION OUTLOOK
Developments of Week Satisfac-
tory; Will Win If Plans
Work Out"

The developments of this week
have been very satisfactory to me. If
my plans work out, local option is
bound to pass" said Governor Brum-
baugh this morning. The Governor
declined to say more on what he
meant by developments, but remarked
that he was pleased with the way
things were going.
When he was asked if he would
shed any light on his recall of the
nominations of the Public Service
Commissioners or what he intended to
do in the way of recasting the board
he shook his head and said he had
nothing to say.
The office of the commission is 60
ing ahead as though nothing had hap
pened. Commissioner Walter Fl. Cal
ther, the resident commissioner, was
at the office and the calendar for next
weeks hearings is being made UP.
The general belief about the Capitol is
that the commission will continue in
office until successors qualify regard

Zeppelins in Night Raid
Cause Property Damage

London. April 16, 1O.3S a Nat
least two Zeppelins raided the coun-
ties of Suffolk and Essex early this
morning and dropped bombs within
thirty-six miles of London, but so far
as material damage was considered
the attack of the Germans was less
successful than on previous occasions.
A large number of bombs were
dropped on towns and villages, but
no loss of life resulted.
The number of airships which took
part in the raid is uncertain, but 1t
assuredly was more than one, as at
tacks were made within few minutes
of each other at points seventy miles
apart. The first was on Maiden at
1920 a m. by a Zeppelin which pre-
viously passed over Burnham and
South Minister. After dropping bombs
at Maiden the airship turned north
and let fall more explosives at Hey
bridge. 1t may have been the same
craft seen at l o'clock flying over
Harwick in the direction of Ipswich.
Aeroplane Makes Daylight Raid
A second attack was made between
1880 and 1915 a. m. on Southwold
ten miles south of Lowestoft on the
North Sea.
At Lowestoft. where three bombs
were dropped, a lumber pile was set
on fire. three horses were killed and
void. where several bombs were
dropped. railway trucks were fired:
at Maiden a house was struck, but
only slightly damaged: at Heybridge
several bombs were dropped, but no
damage has been reported.
A telegram received from Muiden.
In Holland, says the Norwegian
steamer Dag came into that port this
morning and reported having sighted
a Zeppelin airship at O'Clock al a
point fifteen miles off the Dutch coast.

power schooner Ruby. which brought
the news, that. after leaving the sup

tin Point. he and his companions set
their faces to the north, but after con-
tinuing their journey ninety days they
