WASHINGTON July 3.-tspe'
cial)--The capital police and the
officials In charge OF the capitoi
building are today anxiously await
ing the repor, Of exports as TO just
what caused a terrific explosion at
90 minutes before midnight last
nisht. wrecking the reception room
IN the senate wing. Until the cause
OF the explosion II determined. the
rolice will not know how to act. as
un IN date there is absolutely no
clue leading to suspicion Of anyone
unless an anarchist happened to De
among the workmen employed In
acme tasks in the building.
Twenty minutes before the explo-
sior Policeman r. G.. Jones. OF the
National capitol building force. sent
Patrolman Gum over the north end
OF the building to close the windows
for the night. Not more than 10
minutes after he had closed the win
dowg by the telephone booth In the
senate reception room a terrinc ex'
plosion took place In that exact
spot. wrecking the room.
Jones was tumbled to the moor by
the shock. As soon az he gained
his balance. he dashed upstairs fol-
lowed by other policemen. No one
saw anyone running away from the
scene. The great mirror In the SEN
ate reception hall fell to the moor
and was shattered, many OF the
windows were broken. furniture was
blown to bits and portraits OF dis
tinguished Americans were badly
damaged by flying fragments OK
wood and glass.
There was an odor as OF sulphur
which excludes the possible use OF
a guncotton explosive. No trace
could he found OF an exploded bomb
and the theory that II might have
been caused by gas explosion was
killed when the pipes for gas were
found TO I've intact. There were no
gas nxturcs on the senate side as
gas had been discontinued after an
explosion 20 years ago. but the
pipes still remained in the walls.
The report of the explosion was
heard a mile away and many people
rushed to the capitol grounds.
The police are working on two
theories. either that the explosion
was the work Of en- irresponsible
crank. or Of one who took this
means of showing his disapproval Of
government policies In the war.

RIVA
Sketch of Beautiful Italian Town Now
Theatre of Fighting.

Sketch of Beautiful Italian Town Now
Theatre of Fighting.
Recent dispatches from the Italian
battlefields contained the information
that the outpost defenses Of the town
of Riva have been captured from the
the Austrians after severe and prolong-
ed struggles. A description Of this
quaint and beautiful south Tyrouese
lake port forms the subject Of war
primer recently given out by the Ma
tional Geographic society, which reads
as follows:
Riva is a bright, sheltered town,
situated at the extreme northwestern
end of incompatible Lake Garda,
surrounded by splendid mountains and
with a hundred and fifty miles Of rug
ged Alps at it's back. Along the west
ern bank of the lake from the city, the
heights fall sheer to the water and up
on these heights, beside the lake,
picturesque road takes its way over
rock lodges, through tunnels and gal
leries, to Italy, only a few hours walk
distant. The crags before the town are
powerfully fortified, and these defen-
sive works are carried on among the
mountains upon the eastern side Of
the lake.
Considerable traffic passes through
this small lake port, whose 1000 citi-
zens live largely upon transit trade
and the entertainment Of visitors.
Timber, coal and fruits are the staples
of it's trade. 1t also has some in
dustry, the manufacture Of paper and
pottery; while silk-worms, fancy fruits
and the olive are cultivated. In peace
times, it maintains regular steamship
connection with Italy, and is one of the
favorite tourist portals to the Tyrol.
The character Of the people Is Italian,
and Italian is the current speech.
The little port has belonged in turn
to the bishopric Of Trent, to Milan and
to Venice, and has been a possession
of Austria since 1915. The Scaligers Of
Verona summered here during the
height Of their power. The aristocracy
Of the republic Of Venice made Riva
their Newport, and Europe and Ameri-
ca Of today have sent each year many
hundreds of representatives to enjoy
the charm Of the mountains, the delight
of a soft, Mediterranean climate, the
beauties of the wide, mountain-en-
crusted lake and the delights Of the
international, seasonal society gathered
upon Garda-

Select your seed corn this fall from
those stalks In the field bearing most
shelled corn and note the superior
yields produced from such seed over
corn grown from barn selected seed.
The man who once properly selects
his seed corn in the field from high
yielding stalks will never again re-
sort to barn selections.
Give your corn a chance to show
what it can and will do if seed from
it are selected properly in the field
for next years crop.
AS you would not ordinarily select
breeding stocks from sows giving birth
to 1itters Of two or three pigs, so do
not delay selecting the seed corn un-
til spring, when the chances are many
that you will secure seed borne by
small yielding stalks.
AS there are in our fields stalks
bearing more than twice as much
grain as the average stalks, seed corn
should be selected from these.
Stay home one Saturday afternoon
this fall and select your seed corn
from the field. 1t will pay you far
better than participating in the whit
tling contest on goods boxes at the
country store.
No regrets follow selecting seed
corn in the field, except those for
having practiced barn selection in
previous years.
The person who selects his seed
corn in the field properly lays the
for increased yields in sub
sequent years.

THE BELGIAN CAPITAL
Is Now Located in Havre, French
Hifv

Is Now Located in Havre, a French
City.
Havre, however, is something more
than a British base. Havre is the
Belgian capital. Imagine, If you can,
the government of the United States
moving to Atlantic City, or better yet,
to Asbury Park, with the Japanese, or
the Mexicans, or even Ito make the
analogy exac) the Germans in pos
session of Washington. Stick the
state department into one empty shop
along the boardwalk, the navy depart
ment into another, with the department
of commerce, labor, agriculture, edu-
cation and what not occupying ad-
jacent shops in the same building.
There you have an idea of Belgium in
Havre
The Belgians chose a large new
building on a bluff facing the sea, four
stories high, with a row Of shops 'front.'
ing the street. Over the main entrance
a small sign in blue and white letters
was erected: Palais des ministeres
The Belgium arms were stuck over the
door, and the Belgian flag run up
staff pole on the roof. Two sentry
boxes were set down at the right and
left Of the entrance and the ministry
moved in, after arriving in Havre, to-
gether with the entire diplomatic
corps brand Whtlock excepted) in
motor cars one dark night in Novem-
ber.
This arrangement holds today, ex-
cept for the ministry of war; which is
important enough to occupy a large
stone villa almost at the waters
edge.
Outside this villa the Belgian flag
flies during the day. At sundown it
is lowered with what ceremony can
be devised. Three or four gendarmes
line up at attention. At the door of
the garage in the little garden the
military chauffeurs stand with hands
raised in salute. On the lawn under
the windows a few clerks group them
selves and Baron de Brocqueville,
minister Of war, and his small staff ap-
pear at the top Of the low steps. The
passersby, if any, pause and remove
their hats.
A dirty trench mortar. rescued from
active service, still smeared with gray
war paint, is discharged. A bugle is
sounded very slowly. Then, with ev-
erybody looking straight across the
water toward England, the flag of
Belgium hutters down. A soldier steps
forward and folds it up. and not un-
til he has disappeared into the house
with it under his arm do the stiff
| figures unbend.
King Albert, they will tell you, has
never been in Havre.
"Why?" you ask.
He is in the field with his army"
| 1t is a simple answer all satisfying
But one cannot but speculate whether
there may not be another reason fol
King Albert's absence. whether per-
haps he does not care to face that sun
set ceremony on the lawn of the stone
villa which is his ministry of war

Because They Submitted to Tests &c
Find Cause Of Pellasra.
Eleven conyicts at the Rankin, Miss.
state prison farm-seven Of them serv-
ing life sentences--were granted full
pardons by Governor Brewer as a re-
ward for submitting to prescribed
tests by United States public health
service authorities to determine the
cause Of and the cure for pellagra,
says a Jackson. Miss. dispatch OF
Monday. A twelfth member Of the
prison 'pellagra squad" was released
a few months ago because of a ply
sical breakdown.
The granting of freedom to the
eleven prisoners followed an official
announcement by the Mississippi state
board Of health that experiments con-
Quoted at the convict farm under di-
rection of DR.. Joseph Goldberger and
his assistants had demonstrated that
pellagra is produced by an unbalanced
ration, and that DR.. Goldberger was
convinced that the disease could be
cured if the patients were given proper
food. The results Of the experiments
are considered by prominent physi-
clans in this section as Of experimental
importance in the prevention and
treatment of the disease, which in re-
cent years, it is declared, has been in
creasing the death rate in Mississippi
and several other southern states
Physicians stated steps will be taken
to introduce the diet treatment for pei
lagra into various sections where the
disease is prevalent.
The experiment was begun February
Is, 1915, with twelve prisoners, each
of whom was promised a pardon If he
would follow during stated period

diet excluded milk, fresh lean meat,
eggs, peas and beans. A diagnosis con-
Quoted today by DR.. Goldberger and
four Jackson physicians showed, II

ers in the squad have pellagra in
pronounced form and that two others
show symptoms suggestive Of the dis
ease.
In issuing the pardons, Governor
Brewer told the prisoners they were
free to leave the convict farm If they
desired, but he urged them to remain
several weeks and be nourished back to
health. OF the eleven convicts granted
their freedom six were serving life SEN
tence for murder, one a life sentence
for criminal assault, one had ten years
for manslaughter, two about five years
each for embezzlement and one about
four years for bigamy.
