ian Consul General in New

NEW YORK, November 6.-The third
attempt within a year to wreck the offices
of Italian Consul General G. Fara Forni
with a bomb was made today. The missile.
said to have been hurled from nearby
roof, struck the pavement a short dis
taace away from the building, exploded
with a roar that was heard for blocks.
ripped apart the cobblestones, rocked the
neighborhood and filled the street with a
rain of broken glass, but caused slight
damage otherwise, and failed to injure
any one.
The consul general and his staff were
in their offices at the time with $50
Italian reservists, who were presum-
ably seeking to return home.
A policeman detailed to guard the
daily stream of reservists that pours
through the offices. and traffic police
man nearby, turned in an alarm, and
from police headquarters, Few BLOCKS
away detectives and reserves swarmed
to the scene in squads. They at once
spread a Gordon about the place. and
in their dragnet temporarily detained
every one who could not give convinc-
ing reasons for his presence in the
neighborhood. Passersby told the de-
tectives that they had seen flaming
object thrown from a roof nearby.
italian Boy Under Arrest.
An Italian boy, found on the roof of
one of the houses in the neighborhood,
was taken to police headquarters. After
further investigation the police said
they thought the bomb had been drop

frightened when he saw patrolman
standing close by. A woman. looking
out of the window in her room nearby.
told the detectives she had seen man
place what she thought was lump OF
dirt in the gutter and few moments
later saw it explode.
Ordinarily there are from 300 to 500
reservists standing in line awaiting
entrance to the building, in the street
where the bomb was exploded. Today
the number was smaller and they were
consequently sent into the building.
Two previous attempts had been
made by bombs and one by fire to
wreck the consulate. Both bombs were
extinguished before exploding and the
fire was put out before it gained head
way. Examination subsequently showed
that the woodwork had been saturSted
with turpentine.

Of the United States believe the federal
government pays for all the Districts

from all over the country and they are
all surprised to learn we have anything
to say at ALL Now If you have that
reputation why don't you live up to 1t!

congressional opponents Of the half-and-
half plan.
Let me tell you gentlemen that the
very agitation which has brought this
committee together has been RESPONSE

Charities and Schools.

Representative Gard asked how much
interest the federal government had
in the work of the charities and schools
in the District. for which one-half of
the expenditures are paid by the United
States.
Much more than you would think"
replied Mr.. Newman. He spoke of the

Suggests Definite Division.

Representative Cooper brought out
the idea that there should be a definite
division of federal and municipal ex-
penses in the District of Columbia, be-
cause the citizens ought to know ex-
actly where their money is being spent
He declared that If this line of de-
marcation cannot be logically drawn
there should be sensible arbitrary d.
vision as close to the facts as possible
to obtain. The Commissioner said he
had worked for a month in an attempt
to divide the expenses of the District
into two columns. showing local and
federal expenses, but could not do so.
There are expenses which are proba-
bly, caused by the fact that this Is a
federal city. but you cannot draw the
line" he explained: "for instance, there
are expenses for the care of the insane
here which are heavy"
He paused for a minute.
THE excess is due to the fact that
this Is Washington"
There was a loud laugh In the COM
mittee chamber.
81 should correct the record by saying
that Washington attracts lot of queer
people,"
More laughter.

gestion would have been lese majestic
of a sort had II not fallen from the lips
Of Senator Salisbury.

Cites Alleged Injustices.

Mr. Lancaster complained that the
proper sort of citizens have not been
listened to by congressman:
Certainly you cannot complain that
we have not listened to you on many
occa sions." said Senator Works.
Mr.. Lancaster thsn went on to say
that one OF the thousands of injustices
visited upon the heads of the residents
Of the District of Columbia was the fact
that condemnation turies ind benefits
for street openings. etc. whether there
are any actual benefits or not, and that
the entire system Is due to the half

tenn many a property owner has been

He also claimed that another injustice
under the half-and half plan was the
disposition on the part of Congress
always to drive a hard bargain with
the District of Columbia.

Criticises Extension Of Streets.

CT1ClClSeS Extension OF SLreeLS.
Mr.. Lancaster criticised the manner
in which Congress has legislated for
the extension Of streets. declaring that
a great injustice has been worked
against people owinging property on
the outskirts OF the city. He insisted
that much of the suburban land was
far overtaxed today.
You have been squeezing the poor
man till he can't stand it, he said. He
said that when farm land in the Dis
trict was assessed at from $4,000 to
$4,000 an acre farmers were asked to
pay the government a rental of about
$50 an acre a year on farm land. He
said that farmers in other parts Of the
country could not and would not stand
for such n thing.
He criticised the manner in which
assessments on suburban property are
jumped up as soon as streets are laid
out, though the land has not changed
at all and no buildings have been put
up.
1.-THE change in value is only on pa
per-" he said.
Mr.. Lancaster then took members Of
Congress to task for listening to men
to whom you wouldn't lend a five-dollar
bill if you ever expected to get it
back" He said that such men were
listened to by congressional committees
when they would pay no attention to
property owners and men Of substance
in the District.

the bloating, heart burn, sourness,

SPIRITUAL RETREAT.
Catholic Clergy Have Been at Keyser
Island Last Week.

Most of the senior clergy of the do
cese spent last week at Keyser Island,
South Norwalk, busted with the exer-
cises of their annual spiritual retreat.
The preacher was the Rev. Fathaf
Gasson, S. J. Keyser Island is So
called from former possessor, says
the Catholic Transcript. Hanging on
one of the walls of the corridor ST the
ancient mansion is a framed cartoon
evidently taken from one of the jour-
mails Of the early seventies when the
Tweed Ring was at the height of its
glory, or of it's shame, according to
the point of view. The cartoon repre-
sents ring of some ten or a dozen
principals among whom was Keyser,
the former possessor of the island.
Each one points to the other as the
guilty party. The picture is evidently
a relic of the Keyser days and, al
though it seems highly libelous at
the present time, 1t was evidently re-
garded at a fine joke by the gentle
man under exhibit. Otherwise it is
hard to understand why it should
have been framed and passed on
with the rest of the estate to future
possessors. The island is a delight
full spot, ideally situated for the pur-
pose of a spiritual retreat, and it
must have been regarded by its for
mer owner as a safe place to- retreat
from the minions Of the law.
