Dynamite Fastened to Track Over
Which Fast Train Was to Pass.

ALTOONA, Pa. July 16.-Pennsyl-
vania railroad detectives today were
searching the country east of here for a
clue that would lead to the identity OF
the parties who last night attempted to
wreck the Broadway limited, the nine

Chicago. According to the report re-
ceived here, Robert Westbrook, a
brakeman, found an iron pipe filled
with twenty pounds of dynamite fast
ened to a rail of the track over which
the fast train was scheduled to pass
in few minutes.
Westbrook took the bomb to the
nearest tower and turned it over to the
operator, who notified division police

character of paper eligible and the
method of certifying eligibility.
The belief is expressed by the federal
reserve board that in promulgating
this regulation it will considerably en-
large the scope of service of the fed
eral reserve banks, and. incidentally.
assist in developing a class of double
name paper. such as has been shown
in many countries to be desirable
form of investment and an important
factor in modern commercial banking
systems. Trade acceptances," hereto

BEGINS PAYMENTS HERE
FOR DETAINED COTTON
British Embassy Makes Partial
Award of About $3.50, 900
for One Cargo.

The British embassy today began the
practice of making payments in Wash
ington for detained American cotton
cargoes the identity of ownership of
which has been satisfactorily estab-
lished. The first payment. a partial
one. for a cargo at the rate of 10 cents
a pound, was about $250,000.
Following the conclusion of confer
ences here between representatives OF
big meat packers of the United States
with Chandler Anderson, special coun-
sci of the State Department, regarding
the rights of neutral shippers, officials
of the State Department today began
drafting a note on this subject to be
sent to Great Britain.
Packers Case to Be Presented.
Secretary Lansing will review the
matter before the representations are
forwarded to London.
The packers submitted memo
randum setting forth their case and
outlining the long series Of negotia-
tons which they have carried on with
British authorities in a vain endeavor
to reach a satisfactory adjustment re-
garding five cargoes valued at $14,-
900. 900 seized before the British order
in council against commerce with Ger
many was known to the shippers.
The final demand was that the pack
ers guarantee Great Britain against
claims arising out of the detention of
ships and guarantee also against
claims of neutral buyers who bought
and paid for products seized.
The packers reiterate in their memo
randum that they cannot afford to
reopen trade with neutral countries
unless their shipments can be pro-
tected.
